It was a lazy morning during the Christmas week. We were enjoying breakfast when the doorbell rang. It was a little girl, standing at the doorway with a piece of paper and a face that carried an expression of want, rather a common 1 during Christmas.She murmured that the paper was her booklist and that she was going around 2 money to buy her schoolbooks. My children went inside and brought some 3 for her. This kind of incident happens very often in my hometown, 4 during Christmas.From where I was seated, I could see her clearly. She looked about ten years old and she wore a dress too big for her. She spoke in a 5 voice and looked at me straight in the eye. Something made me get up and 6 her.In answer to my questions, she said that her mother made hoppers and she 7 them before going to school. But the hopper money was not adequate to 8 the list; therefore, she was going from house to house asking for help.Her voice told me the story; her eyes told me that it was 9 .I said I’d buy her what was on the list.We drove to a nearby bookstore. She sat 10 , with a strange look on her face. When the clerk was taking all the things on the list, the little girl kept staring as if confused. Perhaps she had never 11 so many new things before. They were merely exercise books, pencils, pens and such things. She whispered her 12 to us. Strange, I hadn’t been aware that giving such 13 things to one in need, could bring me such a lot of happiness.As we drove back, I could see the little girl in the mirror. All the gifts I had given in my life never14 up a face so much. She was grasping the parcel, smiling to herself. The total event made us all very 15 .

People do not analyse every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a 1 problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without 2 ; they try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all of these methods 3 , the person with a problem has to start analysing. There are six 4 in analysing a problem.First, the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must 5 that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the person must find the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must 6 the parts that are wrong.Now the person must look for 7 that will make the problem clearer and lead to 8 solutions. For example, suppose Sam 9 that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, talk to his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.揭阳市2012-2013学年度高中三年级学业水平考试英语试题第1页（共12页）After 10 the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example again.His suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.In the end, one 11 seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes quite 12 because the thinker suddenly sees something in a 13 way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum（口香糖）stuck to a brake. He immediately hits on the solution to his problem: he must 14 the brake.Finally the solution is 15 . Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly. In short,he has solved the problem.1.

This is something anyone can relate to, even though we are talking about a mother elephant that has been separated 16 her child.A video capturing(捕捉) the reunion between the elephant and her 8-month-old baby in Kenya was one of the 17 (impressive) scenes in 2012. The baby fell inside 18 man-made hole and was unable to climb out, according to a video released by the Amboseli Trust for Elephants. Despite the best efforts of her desperate mother, the baby seemed helpless 19 a team of conservation workers rushed to help. They had to chase the overprotective mother away first, so that 20 could get close enough to rescue the baby. They 21 (struggle) to pull the baby out with ropes and a vehicle.22 (lucky), the workers managed to pull the baby to safety. 23 followed was a touching scene. As soon as the baby was freed, it ran away across the plain. In the 24 (distant), the cries of her mother could be heard as she came running from the opposite direction. The two were reunited, 25 (hug) each other with their trunks. huggingII 阅读(共两节，满分50分)第一节阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)AIf you were walking around a supermarket and saw a woman with a shaved head, a ring through her nose, a tattoo（纹身）design on her arm and she has a small child in her shopping trolley, what would your opinion be? Do you think this kind of body decoration is attractive or ugly? Different people have different ideas. The following are some examples of body decoration from around the world.In many parts of Africa, it is thought that an attractive girl should have really shinny skin.On Bali, a little island in Indonesia, they believe that a beautiful woman or handsome man must have perfectly straight, flat teeth. The Balinese believe that teeth with pointed edges make you look like an ugly wild animal. So when a girl or boy becomes a teenager, he or she is taken to a special person in their village who will file off teeth points to make them smooth and flat. There is no anesthetic（麻药）and this tooth filing is really painful. It is a kind of test. If you can stand it without screaming or crying too much, then you are thought ready to become an adult.In Myanmar, there is a small group of people who are called the ―Papaung‖. They believe that a woman can only be really beautiful if she has a long neck. I mean a VERY long neck. Now you might think that you are either born with a long or short neck and that there’s nothing whatever you can do about it. But you would be wrong! At around the age of 5, a Papaung girl has heavy metal rings fitted around her neck, tightly between the chin and shoulders. Each year more rings are added and very, very slowly their weight pushes the shoulders down, in this way making the neck look longer. A Papaung woman will wear her neck rings all her life, never once taking them off.So now I’m sure you will all agree that different people have different ideas about what is beautiful.26. What is mainly talked about in paragraph one?A. Women’s design.B. Beautiful body decoration.C. Body decoration.D. Attractive decoration.27. What does the underlined word ―trolley‖ mean?A. schoolbagB. luggageC. basketD. shopping cart28. On Bali, it is believed that _________.A. a person with straight, flat teeth looks uglyB. a person with sharp teeth looks uglyC. a teenager’s teeth points must be filed off with anestheticD. no one will scream or cry when having his teeth points filed off29. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Many people think that a woman with a ring through nose is neither attractive nor ugly.B. Most African people think that a girl with shinny skin is beautiful.C. It is thought that a beautiful woman should have straight, flat teeth on Bali.D. Some people think it beautiful that a woman has a long neck in Myanmar.30. What is the best title of the passage?A. Different ideas about beautiful.B. Body Decoration.C. Who is a beautiful woman?D. What is beautiful?BA few months ago as I wandered through my parents’ house, the same house I grew up in, I had a sudden, scary realization. When my parents bought the house, in 1982, they were only two years older than I am now. I tried to imagine myself in two years, ready to settle down and buy the house I’d still be living in almost 30 years later.It seemed ridiculous. On a practical level, there’s no way I could afford to buy a house anytime soon. More importantly, I wouldn’t want to. I’m not sure where I’ll be living in two years, or what kind of job I’ll have. And I don’t think I’ll be ready to settle dow n and stay in one place.So this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents. When our parents were our age, they’d gotten their education, chosen a career, and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives.My friends and I –―Generation Y‖ –still aren’t sure what we want to do with our lives. Whatever we end up doing, we want to make sure we’re happy doing it. We’d rather take risks first, try out different jobs, and move from one city to another until we find our favorite place. We’d rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account.This casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation ―arrogant‖, ―impatient‖, and ―overprotected‖. Some of these compl aints have a point. As children we were encouraged to succeed in school, but also to have fun. We grew up in a world full of technological innovation: cell phones, the Internet, instant messaging, and video games.Our parents looked to rise vertically(垂直的)--starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top, on the same track, often for the same company. That doesn’t apply to my generation.Because of that, it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at responsible, stable adulthood. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In our desire to find satisfaction, we will work harder, strive for ways to keep life interesting, and gain a broader set of experiences andknowledge than our parents’ generation did.By Ariel Lewiton31. When the author walked through her parents’ house, she _______.A. was frightened that she had no idea what she wanted from lifeB. realized she should buy a house.C. started to think about her own lifeD. wondered why her parents had settled down early32. What is the main ―generation gap‖ between the author and her friends and their parents according to the article?A. Their attitude toward high technology.B. Their attitude towards responsibility.C. Their ways of making their way to the top.D. Their ways of gaining experience.33. Which of the following might the author agree with?A. It’s ridiculous to call her generation ―arrogant‖.B. It’s better to take adult responsibility earlier.C. It involves too much effort to rise vertically.D. It’s all right to try more before settling down.34. What can we conclude from the article?A. The author wrote this article so that others would be able to understand her generation better.B. Growing up in a hi-tech world makes ―Generation Y‖ feel insecure about relationships.C. ―Generation Y‖ people don’t want to grow up and love to be taken care of by their parents.D. The author is envious of her parents enjoying a big house at her age.35. What is the main theme of the article?A. The sudden realization of growing up.B. Criticisms of the young generation.C. A comparison between lifestyles of generations.D. The factors that have changed the young generation.CBelieve it or not, optical illusion(视错觉) can cut highway crashes.Japan is a case in point. It has reduced car crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. But stripes, called chevrons(人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japan’s success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.Too great speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all serious traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related risks are the greatest curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges. Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars(水平杆)painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.36. The passage mainly discusses ________.A. a new type of optical illusionB. a new pattern for painting highwaysC. a new way of training drivers . a new way of highway speed control37. On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that ________.A. they should avoid speed-related dangerB. they should slow down their speedC. they are driving in the wrong sideD. they are coming near to the speed limit38. Compared with straight, horizontal bars, what is the advantage of chevrons?A. They will have a longer effect on driversB. They can cut road accidents in halfC. They will look more attractiveD. They can keep drivers awake39. The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to ________.A. repeat the Japanese road patternsB. change the road signs across the countryC. replace straight, horizontal bars with chevronsD. try out the Japanese method in certain areas40. What does the author say about straight, horizontal bars painted across roads?A. They are suitable only on broad roads.B. They are falling out of use in the United States.C. They are ignored in a long period of time.D. They cannot be used successfully to traffic circles.DThe $ 11 billion self –help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like ― I never do anything right‖ into positive ones like ―I can succeed.‖ But was positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking?Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply stress how unhappy they are.The study's authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by citing older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is too positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your stupid friend that he has the potential of an Einstein, you're just underlining his faults. In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled. When the authors were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students’ self-respect. The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, "I am lovable."Those with low self-respect didn't feel better after the forced self-affirmation(自我肯定). In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who weren't urged to think positive thoughts.The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy (心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Instead, meditation (静思) techniques can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger, more realistic way. Call it the power of negative thinking.41. What do we learn from the first paragraph about the self-help industry?A. It was established by Norman Vincent Peale.B. It is a highly profitable industry.C. It is based on the concept of positive thinking.D. It has provided positive results.42. What is the finding of the Canadian researchers?A. There can be no simple treatment for psychological problems.B. The power of positive thinking is limited.C. Unhappy people cannot think positively.D. Encouraging positive thinking may do more harm than good.43. What does the author mean by "… you're just underlining his faults" (Para. 3)?A. You are emphasizing the fact that he is not intelligent.B. You are not taking his mistakes seriously enough.C. You are trying to make him feel better about his faults.D. You are pointing out the errors he has committed.44. It can be inferred from the experiment of Wood, Lee and Perunovic that________.A. It is important for people to continually boost their self-respect.B. Self-affirmation can bring a positive change to one's mood.C. Forcing a person to think positive thoughts may lower their self-respect.D. People with low self- respect seldom write down their true feelings.45. What do we learn from the last paragraph?A. People can avoid making mistakes through meditation.B. Meditation may prove to be a good form of psychotherapy.C. The effects of positive thinking vary from person to person.D. Different people tend to have different ways of thinking.第二节读写任务（共1小题，满分25分）阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150个词左右的英语短文。

Most people give little thought to the pens they write with, especially since the printers in modern homes and offices mean that very 1 things are handwritten. All too often，people buy a pen based only on 2 , and wonder why they are not satisfied once they begin to use it. However，buying a pen that you'll enjoy is not 3 if you keep the following in mind.First of all, a pen should fit 4 in your hand and be easy to use.

If you have a 6 hand and thicker fingers, you may 7 a fatter pen. The length of a pen can also influence comfort.

This will make it possible for you to create a 10 line of writing. The point should also be sensitive enough to 11 ink from running when the pen is lifted. A point that does not block the 12 may leave drops of ink，as you pick the pen up and put it down again.13 , the pen should make a thick，dark line. Fine-line pens may make up for 14 handwriting, but fine(very thin or narrow), delicate lines do not attract 15 next to printed text, as, for example, a signature on a printed letter. A broader line, on the other hand, gives an impression of confidence and authority．1．A. many B．few C．pleasant D．important2．A. looks B．reason C．value D．advantages3．A. convenient B．practical C．strange D．difficult4．A. carefully B．comfortably C．hard D．safely5．A. taking B．finding C．determining D．seeking6．A. stronger B．weaker C．smaller D．larger7．A. prefer B．recommend C．prepare D．demand8．A. thick B．light C．long D．soft9．A. change B．allow C．reduce D．press10．A .thin B．rough C．black D．smooth11．A. prevent B．free C．protect D．remove12．A. way B．sight C．flow D．stream13．A.

Because they were on the phone, they knew there was no 5 of getting caught if they lied.And yet people told the 6 . Over hundreds of tosses a coin will land tails-up about 50% of the time. In this 7 over half the people asked (55.6%) said thatthe coin landed heads-up, which meant they would receive nothing.Previous studies had found that people were more 8 . In those laboratory studies, 75% of people reported a 9 coin and asked for a reward. So the research team thinks it’s being in our own homes which makes us play fair, althoughit's not yet clear why.In fact both types of study show people are surprisingly 10 . Even in the laboratory, 25% of people 11 a reward by telling the truth. The researchers saythis is because honesty is 12 valued in human society.
