AA famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ￥100 bill.

Then he said, “Who wants it now?” The hands went back into the air. “Well,” he said, “What if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Hands went back into the air.“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valuable l esson today. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value. It was still worth ￥l00!”Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those people who love you.

By "when I think about you, my imagination has very little to work upon.", the writer intends to tell us that .A. the man she writes to is dull and boringB. she is not familiar with the one she writes toC. it is not interesting at all to write to a strangerD. she lacks imagination when it comes to writing a letter56. Jerusha was probably while she worked on the letter.A. curiousB. light-heartedC. seriousD. skepticalCSome expressions in English can be really puzzling. Have a look at the following to see how it challenges your brainpower.Homeric laughterThe "Homer" in this expression is the Greek poet. People laugh differently. Some laugh silently, while others tend to laugh loudly. "Homeric laughter" refers to laughter of the latter kind. It is at times uncontrollable, and the entire body shakes during the process. This kind of laughter is called Homeric laughter because this is how the gods laughed in Homer's classics.A three-ring circusWhen you refer to a situation as being a three-ring circus, you are saying that it is a situation of complete confusion. There are so many activities taking place all together that they leave you confused or annoyed. The expression comes from the world of entertainment — the circus. The area where the artists perform their acts is called the "ring". In the past, some of the circuses were so grand that they had three acts taking place simultaneously in three different "rings". The audience had to decide which "ring" they wanted to focus on.In the swim (of things)When someone is in the swim of things, the individual is actively participating in the things happening around him, as in "I've been ill, but soon I’ll be back in the swim of thing." In the world of fishing, fishermen use the word "swim" to refer to the section of the lake/river where fish can be found in plenty. So, if you are a fisherman and wish to catch a lot offish, where would you be? You would be "in the swim".Chickens have come home to roostThe word "roost" refers to the place where birds rest. It could be anything — the branch of a tree, a henhouse, etc. The expression is normally used to mean that the bad things that someone did in the past have come back to bite or upset the individual. In other words, one has to face the consequences of the deeds done in the past. The original form of this 700-year-old expression was "curses are like chickens; they always come home to roost".57. Which of the following can best describe the picture?A. Homeric laughterB. A three-ring circusC. In the swim (of things)D. Chickens have come home to roost58. What does the underlined word "simultaneously'(Paragraph 3) mean?A. At the same time.B. Step by step.C. All of a sudden.D. One after another.59. lf you want to know more about such expressions, which website will you probably visit?A. /sports/China.htmlB. /world/university.htmlC. /culuture/language.htmlD. /entertainment/fashion.html60. The passage is written to .A. tell readers some old and interesting storiesB. indicate the development of English phrasesC. correct some misunderstandings about wordsD. explain the meanings and origins of some phrasesDSeth DeBolt is a plant scientist at the University of Kentucky US. He and other scientists wanted to find a source of fuel that poor people in rural areas of developing countries could use to make electricity.The United Nations Development Program says a billion and a half people have no electricity.A billion others have an undependable supply.Professor DeBolt went on a study trip to rural Indonesia. He saw that there was very little waste in the use of agricultural products. Everything that farmers grew was used for something. Even the remains of fruit that people did not eat were fed to chickens.Little waste meant there was little that could be used for fuel. Growing a separate fuel crop would take land away from food crops. That was something Professor DeBolt did not want to do.DeBOLT said, "The people at most risk with respect to energy poverty, typically they're the same people who have food insecurity issues as it is. And then any change in availability would be most damaging to that group of people."But he found one item that was in plentiful supply and would not create competition between food and fuel. Coconut shells are generally thrown out. Yet Professor DeBolt says it has an "excellent" heating value. All someone needs is a way to release that energy.DeBolt says he and his team see possibilities for coconut power. "Coconuts are growing here and these are the areas where there is possibility for energy poverty to be eased at least in part by these small-scale production systems."The researchers say these systems could provide as much as thirteen percent of the energy needs of a country like Indonesia. Other tropical countries with large crops of coconuts and similar fruit could benefit, as well.But DeBolt says this is not a perfect solution. There are technical questions, like how to safely deal with the dangerous waste produced in the process. And there needs to be money to get these projects started.61. Professor DeBolt went on a study trip to rural areas of developing countries to .A. help farmers make full use of wasteB. seek certain materials to make electricityC. persuade farmers to grow more coconutsD. find a suitable place to carry out the experiment62. DeBolt thought it was not a good idea to grow fuel crops because .A. there are plenty of coconutsB. local farmers have no interest in itC. it would make food problems worseD. fuel crop has little use for local farmers63. The last two paragraphs mainly tell us that coconut power .A. needs further experiments and effortsB. can help solve energy problem perfectlyC. will cause technique and money problemsD. has drawn Indonesia's government attention64. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Make Full Use Of CoconutsB. Make Power From CoconutsC. A Perfect SolutionD. Food And Energy Problems第二节：阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从A、B、C、D和E中选出最适合放入短文空缺处的选项。

对口招生考试英语精选试题（含答案）阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)ABoth my parents came from towns in Mexico. Then I was born in El Paso，Texas，and when I was four，my family moved to a housing project in East Los Angeles.Even though we struggled to make ends meet，my parents stressed to me and my four brothers and sisters how fortunate we were to live in a great country with limitless opportunities. They influenced us with the concepts of family，faith and nationalism.I got my first real job when I was ten. My dad injured his back working in a cardboard box factory and was retrained as a hairstylist .He rented space in a little shopping mall and gave his shop the fancy name of Mr Ben’s Coiffure.The owner of the shopping center gave Dad a discount on his rent for cleaning the parking lot three nights a week，which meant getting up at 3 a．m.. To pick up rubbish，Dad used a little machine that looked like a lawn mower. Mom and I emptied garbage cans and picked up litter by hand. It took two to three hours to clean the lot .I’d sleep in the car on the way home.I did this for two years，but the lessons I learned have lasted a lifetime. I acquired discipline and a strong work ethic (道德)，and learned at an early age the importance of balancing life’s competing interests—in my case，school，homework and a job .This really helped during my senior year of a high school，when I worked 40 hours a week flipping burgers at a fast food joint while taking a full load of college preparation courses.The hard work paid off. I attended the US Military Academy and went on to receive graduate degrees in law and business from Harvard .Later，I joined a big Los Angeles law firm and was elected to the California State Assembly (州议会)．In these jobs and in everything else I’ve done，I have never forgotten those nights in the parking lot. The experience taught me that there is dignity in all work and that if people are working to provide for themselves and their families that is something we should honor.56．Before my father got injured，we________.A．didn’t like livin g in the USAB．lived a poor but happy lifeC．were lucky to move to the USAD．had many ways to make money57．When he recovered，to make a living my father________.A．ran a small shopping mall B．did a part-time jobC．worked as a barber D．became a street cleaner58．Working in the parking lot for two years had taught me________.A．how to obey school disciplineB．how to do two things well at a timeC．that discipline and work were of equal valueD．that I must do as many things as possible at a time59．The author tells us in the last paragraph that we should be proud of thosewho________.A．have done all kinds of jobsB．are cleaning the parking lotC．have achieved a lot in their livesD．are bearing their responsibilitiesBI am trying to muster (鼓起) the courage to toss_ away my mobile phone to enjoy a more peaceful and ring free life.Can you imagine not having your mobile phone？In our high-tech，in a hurry age，a cell free life is a hard concept to swallow .Our mobile phones can now access the Internet，and many people feel the need to express their every thought on their blog pages. If I gave up my cellphone，people would think I was mad.I wish I had the strength to toss away my technology. I have an office phone，a home phone，an email and if people want to contact me，they can. If I’m out，people can leave a message .Do they really need to find me？However，I’m a bit like Frodo in the movie Lord of the Rings .The power of the ring is too strong and I can’t let it go.Mobile phones have become necessary tools in our busy life. For most people，they hold all contacts and many of us don’t write up address books any more. The latest phones carry our music，pictures，movies and everything else. We feel lost without this device and when we do misplace it，we feel cut off from our fellow.“Where have you been？” said a friend，who saw me a week after I lost my cellphone，“I tried calling you，but you disappeared .You disappeared off the face of the Earth.” See，when you don’t have a mobile phone，you don’t exist.I’m not reall y going to toss my mobile phone away，in fact.

But the study of 1,202 Western Australian 14yearold found that 72% of students travelled to school by car or bus.Straker says the study suggests walking or cycling while carryinga schoolbag helps improve trunk (躯干) and spinal (脊柱的)muscle strength.This helps reduce back pain because greater muscle strengthimproves support for the back during load carrying .Despiteadvocating that parents get their children moving，Straker warns bag load should not exceed (超过) 15% of body weight.Straker says the study also stresses that neck pain is as common as back pain among young teenagers. This is an area that has been largely ignored，he says，but can be an important indicator of neck pain into adulthood.For the study，students were asked a series of questions such as how long they carried their bags for，how they carried their schoolbags，the method of travel，and their perceptions about the bag’s weight.Straker says about half of all participants experienced back and neck pain，with slightly more females reporting neck pain. However，the gender (性别) difference may also be due to the fact that females have lower pain tolerance.Studies from the 1980s found carrying a bag over one shoulder was most common among teenagers. However in this study 85% of participants carried their bag over both shoulders.Straker believes the change has been driven partly through education campaigns，but also by increasing fashion status of backpacks and improved design.64．In the opinion of Leon Straker，parents should________.A．reduce the load o f their children’s schoolbagsB．put more books in their children’s schoolbagsC．get their children’s schoolbags ready for schoolD．ask their children to walk to school carrying schoolbags65．If a child weighs 40 kilograms，the weight of his schoolbag should be________.A．no more than 15 kg B．less than 6 kgC．as heavy as 9 kg D．more than 6 kg66．We can learn from the passage that________.A．most of the students in Australia walk to schoolB．neck pain is uncommon among young teenagersC．walking while carrying a backpack helps reduce back painD．males are more likely to experience back pain than females67．According to the passage，what change has taken place since the 1980s?A．How students carry their schoolbags.B．How heavy students’schoolbags are.C．How students go to school every day.D．How long students carry their schoolbags for.D“When one of the doctors criticizes (批评) me，I get defensive .I feel like a child again，being scolded，and I want to explain that I’m not wrong，” says Viola，a nurse. This is a common reaction to criticism，but not a good one. There are better ways of dealing with criticism.Try to be objective (客观的)．When Sol was criticized by his new employer for not having made a sale，Sol’s reaction was to feel sorry for himself.“I had put everything I had into making that sale，” Sol says.“And I felt that I had failed as a person. I had to learn through experience not to react like that to each failure.”Take time to cool down. Rather than react at once to criticism，take some time to think over what was said. Your first question should be whether the criticism is fair from the other person’s position. The problem may be a simple misunderstanding of what you did or your reasons for doing it.Take positive action. After you cool down，consider what you can do about the situation. The best answer may be “nothing”．“I finally realized that my boss was having personal problems and taking them out on me because I was there，” says Sheila.“His criticisms didn’t really have anyt hing to do with my work，so nothing I said or did was going to change them.” In Sheila’s case，the best way to deal with it was to leave her job. However，that’s an extreme reaction.You may simply explain your opinion without expecting an in-depth discussion. You may even decide that the battle isn’t worth fighting this time. The key，in any case，is to have a reasonable plan.68．When Sol was criticized by his employer，he________.A．argued bitterly with his employerB．was angry and gave up his jobC．was sorry for what he didD．was sad and self- pitying69．According to the writer，you should take time to think about criticism because________.A．people may have a mistaken idea of what you didB．you should welcome other people’s opinionsC．people may discuss it with you in depthD．you need time to understand yourself70．When the writer says that “The best answer may be ‘nothing’”，he means you may decide________.A．to take no notice of the criticismB．to argue with your bossC．you need to change your jobD．you’ve d one nothing wrong71．The writer thinks Sheila might decide to leave her job because her boss________.A．didn’t like her appearanceB．refused to change his opinionC．made an unreasonable criticismD．refused to talk to her about the criticismEBring the Family?Port Regis is well situated for exploring the beautiful South and West of England and Wales.The school has excellent hotels and guest houses nearby for parents who are dropping off or collecting their children from the school.Please note：All students attending English Country Schools must live in the appointed place.We do not recommend that parents live locally while their children are at school .Experience suggests that this often upsets the child and disturbs progress.Howard’s House Country Hot el & RestaurantAbout 15 minutes from Port Regis School，Howard’s House is set in large gardens hidden in the quietness of the lovely Nadder Valley.Plumber ManorPlumber Manor is a comfortable manor house built of local stones，situated about 20 minutes from Port Regis School.

对口招生考试英语精选试题（含答案）阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30）AThe common cold is the world’s most widespread illness, which is probably why there are more myths(神话，想象) about it than any of the other illnesses.The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold．They are not．They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person．You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one．If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever．But they do not．And in isolated Arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected(感染的) people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes．At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time．After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be doused(浸入) with cold water, and then stood about dripping（滴干）wet in drafty（通风的）rooms．Somewore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion．Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose．If cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? In spite of the most painstaking research, no one has yet found the answer．One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on．No one has yet found a cure for the cold．There are drugs and pain suppressors such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms．51. The fact that the Eskimos don’t suffer colds shows that.A. colds are really full of mythsB. viruses are the factors causing coldsC. colds are more severe than other illnessesD. the idea that cold leads to colds doesn’t stand up52. The experiments mentioned in Paragraph 3 made it clear that .A. being doused with cold water did harm to one’s bodyB. taking hot baths made the volunteers easy to be tiredC. it was viruses not wet and cold that made people have coldsD. people who would like to exercise in the rain got colds more easily53. According to the passage, colds are commonly seen in winter because .A. there is great difference between indoor and outdoor temperatureB. viruses c an go into people’s warm bodies more easily in winterC. staying together indoors makes it easier for viruses to pass onD. people are usually weak because of the extreme cold in winter54. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The myths about colds.B. The continued spread of colds.C. The experiments on colds.D. The reason and the way people catch colds.BThere have been a number of occasions through the years that I had to sit at the feet of a theologian (神学家).Some of those times, I came away wondering what on earth the man was talking about. That was not the case when I heard Dr. Randy Harris. He suggested that a lot of our day-to-day problems in the world be solved by simply keeping our promises. Too many people do not take such matters seriously. Are you serious in keeping your promises?Some of my most anxious moments in over a half-century of ministry have come as a result of carelessness in failing to keep my word. Preachers (传道士) can say a lot of requests on any given Sunday. I have been asked to make hospital visits, write letters of recommendation(推荐), put people’s names on the prayer list, read books, make telephone calls, remember birthdays and anniversaries, come to special events, and put announcements in the church bulletin (公告).There was a time when I would foolishly agree to fulfill each request. I had the best of intentions, but I could not remember all I had agreed to do, much less find a way to do them all! Did I think I was “Super-Preacher”? The sad look of disappointed faces taught me that I was not. I hurt people, and they deserved better.The Hebrew word of covenant (契约) means primarily “a cutting”. It refers to the custom of cutting an animal in half and having the parties making promises pass between the two halves. They were saying to each other, “If I don’t keep my word, may I be as this animal--be cut in two.”If butchering (屠宰) were the result of breaking our word today, how many of us would be headed for the death? I think that, although we are not cut like animals for our failures to keep promises, there are serious results connected with our carelessness. It ruins our character and our reputation.What can we do? It is simple. Stop making promises we cannot keep. Reduce promise lists, and be sure to carry out the commitments that remain on it. If after giving our word, we are unable to keep the appointment or whatever, inform and apologize as soon as possible.Last weekend, I stood with a dressed-up couple at a wedding in another county. They made some serious promises to each other in a covenant of marriage. They made vows to be faithful to each other for as long as they live. I pray God that they will keep those vows and be an example for others to follow.55. From the second paragraph we can learn that the author________.A. lives a life of religious serviceB. dislikes making any promiseC. is a famous and busy theologianD. likes to recommend jobs for others56. The author mentioned the custom of cutting an animal in half mainly to ________ .A. show butchering is cruelB. explain the meaning of covenantC. express his disappointment with old customsD. show breaking one’s promises is terrible57. The author was a bit ________ about the new couple’s vows.A. upsetB. concernedC. sadD. uneasyCThere's no need to say it, but there are really more than a few benefits to educational tours. From the word itself, an educational tour is something done to gain knowledge while traveling and touring to some place. It creates opportunities for people to think out of the box and see things and places that aren't usually seen in their normal environment.Educational trips aren't always those that cover far distances. As already said, it is done togain knowledge and you wouldn't need to go very far to have it. Sometimes, an educational trip could be in your hometown.Historic places and museums are always on top of the lists of the places to go in an educational tour. Educational tours like these would make you know your country better. Your country's history is rich and it is the reason why you came to be. But remember that the history of other states, counties and countries are as important as your own.When you go on a trip to another country, it is advised that you learn their culture first. Different cultures have different understanding and perspective of different acts, and it could be dangerous or offending if you cannot understand a culture.When you go on an educational tour, it is likely that you would have the opportunity to socialize with other people. Students are encouraged to talk to locals and natives and learn from them, because it is with understanding that students gain knowledge. When students talk with local people, they are gaining insights to their life and their culture. It is said that when in Rome, act and think as the Romans do, and this is a valuable skill that not all people could do.There are millions of people who want to travel, and an educational tour is the perfect time to do so. Traveling opens new doors and opportunities; it always makes you want to learn more. Cultures are many and widely different, and it is a very valuable talent to understand the people of different cultures.Traveling with groups of other students is safer than traveling alone, and bulk travels like those could also be helpful on the budget. Group of friends could stay at one place and get discounts on the place that you wouldn't get if you are traveling alone. Traveling is fun and more budget-friendly when with other people on an educational tour.Travel abroad for a month. Try and see if you wouldn't miss your own country. Traveling would let you see your own country in a different way. The benefits of an educational tour are all important, but this one creates patriotism in a person.A school isn't a place where they teach you to find the answers; it is a place where one teaches you to find the questions and learn the answers for yourself. Educational tours are valuable this way. They teach you that you are not the only one seeking for questions and that there are other people who are willing to help you on your way too.58. What is educational tours according to the passage?A. Something done to gain knowledge while traveling.B. Something done to know more about one's own country while traveling.C. Something done to know more about a foreign country while traveling.D. Something done to seek for more friends while traveling.59. What are on the top lists of the places to go to in an educational tour?A. schools and churchesB. government buildingsC. places of amusementD. Historical places and museums60. Which statement is correct according to the passage?A. Educational trips always cover long distances.B. When on educational trips, you seldom have the chance to talk with other people.C. Educational trips are always too short to learn knowledge.D. Learning the culture first is a must before you go on educational trips61. If you want to go on a cheap and safe educational trip, you'd better_____.A. learn the culture firstB. avoid the top spotsC. book one in advanceD. go with groups of other studentsD .Amy returned to her small apartment at midnight, exhausted. Her worst fears raced through her mind. Would the court tell her she couldn’t care for her family anymore? Would the kids go through the bitterness once more of being split up and sent away? She was so young, almost a child herself, and yet Amy knew everything depended on her. At that moment, she wondered if she would ever find the strength to see it through.From earliest childhood, Amy took care of her younger brothers. Jan, their mother, only added to the family disorder and confusion because of her drug addict. Sometimes they lived in apartments, sometimes in shelters.One afternoon Amy was called to the high school, where a social worker was waiting for her. “We’re going to have to put you guys in foster（收养) care.” the social worker said. “No! Don’t split us up!” the girl cried out. “Can’t you just leave it the way it is?” The social worker shook his head. Amy’s voice then rose like the howl of a lioness protecting her babies: “Why can’t I take them? I take care of them all the time anyway.” The social worker hesitated, an d then said, “Maybe. Once you’re 18, you could apply to become their relative caretaker. Then you’d be their foster mother until we find a home where all of you can be together.” “I’ll do it,” Amy said.One month later, Amy was named guardian（监护人）of her brothers for a six-month trial period. It was a remarkable victory for an 18-year-old girl. Her brothers didn’t make her task any easier in the months ahead. However，Amy’s efforts were rewarded when the court allowed her to continue as guardian. Amy’s relief at remaining the kids’ guardian was at risk of being taken away by the pressure she always felt to measure up. Social workers still looked regularly over her shoulder and asked the boys shameful questions: “Does she feed you? Does she ever try to harm you?” Then one day a visiting social worker came over. “We’d like to get the boys adopted into homes,” she said. Sensing that the family was about to be split apart yet again, Amy replied, “Fine, then. Call it adoption if you want, but they’re not going anywhere.” To her surprise, the social worker took her remark seriously. She explained that if Amy were to adopt the boys, they would become like any other family.That night at dinner Amy told the boys about the idea. “Cool!” Joey said. He threw a piece of corn at Adam. His brother flicked it back, and pretty soon corn was flying. Amy rolled her eyes. They didn’t have far to go to be like any other family. As the proceedings（程序）ended, Amy thanked everyone. “No,” the judge responded, “Thank you. You saved three kids. Not many family members would do what you’re doing, especially for this many children. I’m very proud of you.”On a lazy spring day, in a modest suburban neighborhood, Amy stood in front of a neatly kept one-story house. She watched her brothers playing basketball, and heard the playful bark of their dog, Tahoe. The young lady had made good on her promise: they had rented a home, a real home, and the boys had gotten their dog. Amy continues to raise her family alone, but has begun taking courses in business management at a nearby community college. Eventually, she hopes to becomea child psychologist.62. Which of the following best describes Amy?A. Crazy and tough.B. Firm and stubborn.C. Enthusiastic and generous.D. Abnormal and aggressive.63. From Paragraph 3, we can learn that __________.A. The social worker gave in to Amy.B. The social worker tried to adopt Amy’s brothers.C. Amy tried to apply for the guardian of the brothers.D. Amy had no idea how to face her family being split up.64. By saying “They didn’t have far to go to be like any other family”, the writer means________.A. they will live in the same area as other families.B. they made a deep impression on the neighborhood.C. Amy is able to take good care of the family.D. Amy and her brothers would be already just like a family.65. The best title for this text would be___________.A. Standing On Two FeetB. Growing Up AloneC. A Lifelong FightD. A Teen Hero阅读理解51--54 DCCD 55—57 ADB 58—61 ADDD 62--65 BADD。
