并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AThe adolescent girl from Tennessee was standing on the stage of a drama summer camp in New York．But the girl didn’t feel joyful．She was not the leggy，attractive Hollywood type．In fact，she described herself as stupid．This girl was Reese Witherspoon，who had wanted to be a country singer and admired and respected Dolly Patton very much．That day at the end of the camp her coaches told her to forget about singing．They suggested she think about another career．She took their words to heart．After all，why shouldn’t she believe the professionals?But back at home in Nashville，her mother—a funny，happy，optimistic woman—wouldn’t let her feel depressed．Her father，a physician，encouraged her to achieve in schoo1．So she worked hard at everything and was accepted at Stanford University．And at 19，she got a part in a low-budget movie called Freeway, which prepared for her role in the movie Pleasantville．But her big break came with Legally Blonde．“If you can’t sing and you aren’t charming，play to your strengths．If you’re going to makeit in this business，better focus on what you’re good at，”she told the interviewer later．And then came the offer that took her back to her Nashville—playing the wife of a country star Johnny Cash，a singing role．All of a sudden the old fears learned on that summer stage were back．She was so nervous on the stage．But she didn’t give up on the movie or herself．She spent 6 months taking singing lessons again．She learned to play the Autoharp．And the hard work built up her confidence．Last March，Reese Witherspoon walked up on another stage，the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood，and accepted the Oscar as Best Actress for her heartbreaking，heartwarming singing role as June Carter Cash in Walk the Line．1．Why was Reese Witherspoon sad that day?A．The experts advised her to give up singing． B．Dolly Parton told her to leave the stage．C．The coaches described her as foolish．D．The professionals considered her ignorant．2．How did Reese succeed in playing the singing role?A．She did her best to make herself leggy and attractive．B．She tried hard to forget about that summer stage．C．She practised Autoharp lessons for more than 6 months．D．She regained her confidence through hard work．3．What can we learn from Reese’s experience?A．Two heads are better than one．B．When in Rome，do as the Romans do．C．Where there is a will，there is a way．D．Hope for the best，and prepare for the worst．BFRANCEThe France company that spread a Europe-wide cheating of food supply by passing off（冒充）750 tons of horse-meat as beef was allowed on Monday to restart production of minced meat, sausages and ready-to-eat meals. But the company will no longer be allowed to stock frozen meat, Agriculture Minister Stephane Foll said.UNITED KINGDOMA new virus that broke out in the Middle East last year and killed five people is well adapted to infecting humans but could practically be treated with drugs that improve the immune(免疫)system. “The virus is from the same family as the common cold and as SARS.” a scie ntist from Oxford on Tuesday.SOUTH AFRICAOlympian runner Oscar Pistorius broke into the door of a small bathroom where his girl friend was bathing after a shouting match on Valentine’s Day, hitting her three times, a South African prosecutor(检察官) said on Tuesday as he charged the sports star with planned murder. EGYPTFormer Egyptian prime minister and presidential(总统的) candidate Ahmed Shafiq was referred to the Cairo Criminal Court on Tuesday over corruption and money laundering charges, the official News Agency reported. Shafiq has left Egypt for the United Arab after losing the presidential race.4. According to the passage, the French company____.A. spread a virus across Europe.B. sold 750 tons beef as horse-meat.C. restarted production of frozen meat.D. was again allowed to produce sausages.5.

We can learn from this passage that____.A. the French company once cheated its customers.B. patients with the new virus can not be cured by now.C. Pistorius killed his girlfriend all by chance on Tuesday.D. the former prime minister of Egypt has left the United Arab.7. This passage is taken from the section of _____in a newspaper.A. NationB. WorldC. SportsD. ScienceCEverywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high-tech devices, while driving, walking, shopping, even sitting in toilets. When connected electronically, they are away from physical reality.People have been influenced to become technology addicted. One survey reported that “addicted” was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad andsimilar devices. One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol.The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. Consumers willingly give up their freedom, money and time to catch up on the latest information, to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern.I see people trapped in a pathological (病态的) relationship with time-sucking technology, where they serve technology more than technology serves them. I call this technology servitude. I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money.What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the vital question. Who is really in charge of my life? That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology. When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West is famous for the wisdom that “too much of a good thing is wonderful.” But it’s time to discover that it does not work for technology.Richard Fernandez, an executive coach at Google acknowledged that “we can be swept away by our technologies.” To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without today’s overused technology.8. The underlined word “allure” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. advantageB. attractionC. adaptionD. attempt9. From the passage, technology companies aim to ______.A. attract people to buy their productsB. provide the latest informationC. improve people’s quality of lifeD. deal with cultural diseases10. It can be inferred from this passage that people ______.A. consider too much technology wonderfulB. have realized the harm of high-tech devicesC. can regain freedom without high-tech devicesD. may enjoy life better without overused technology11. What’s the author’s attitude towards the overusing of high-tech devices?A. Neutral.B. Skeptical.C. Disapproving.D. SympatheticDA scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation(诱惑) early were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible(顽固的)．Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test.The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists' concerns. But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain optimistic in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul.Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting people's success, brain ability measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as “character”．EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one's ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients (要素) for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ causes misuse.12. The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that ________.A. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experimentB. emotional intelligence won't show up until adolescenceC. the ability of self-control plays a role in personal successD. candy can be used to measure a person's emotional intelligence13. Which of the following is TRUE of EQ and IQ according to the text?A. There is no link between EQ and IQ.B. The higher a person's IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is.C. Some people can be blessed with lots of both, but some with little of either.D. Scientists are trying to discover the way in which EQ and IQ work together.14. Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text?A. To amuse both the children and readers.B. To prove the scientist’s wisdom.C. To introduce the topic of the text.D. To show us how to do an IQ test.15. What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?A. Information about famous people with high EQ.B. Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ.C. Some reasons why EQ is relatively new field.D. Strong demands for basic emotional education.第二节（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。

AA dog’s tail can tell you a lot more than you might th ink. Is it wagging (摇) to the left or is it wagging to the right?“The direction of tail wagging does in fact matter，”said Giorgio Vallortigara，a professor at the University of Trento in Italy. Professor Vallortigara finds that the way the tail is wagging can tell you a lot about a dog’s state of mind—whether you’re a human or another dog.What’s the difference between a left wag and a right wag？Professor Vallortigara and his colleagues have studied 43 dogs of various breeds — German Shepherds，Beagles，Boxers，Border Collies and some mutts. They find that if a dog wags its tail to the left. it’s feeling anxious or nervous. The reason could be an unfamiliar or dangerous situation，an unfamiliar person，or an unfamiliar and possibly threatening dog. But if the tail is wagging to the right，it means the dog is feeling relaxed and approachable.“The tail is a very important signal，”said Thomas Reimchen，a biologist at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada. ”There is a lot of visual information that d ogs use when communicating with each other. ”How did the scientists figure all this information out? They had the dogs in their study watch videotapes of other dogs. When the dog on the tape wagged its tail to the right，they say the other dogs remained calm and cool. But when the dog on the tape wagged its tail to the left，the other dogs got anxious.The researchers are still not exactly sure if the direction of tail wagging is something the dogdoes consciously. They suspect that it might be something the dog does without even thinking about it — kind of like when you get goose bumps if something scares or startles you. They plan to do more research to get more information about what dogs are thinking and feeling while they’re wagging. As Reimchen said，“I'm not going to be surprised if we find all sorts of really interesting processes that nobody has ever seen before. ”1. Professor Vallortigara’s study focused on the relationship between_________.A. a dog’s state of mind and its owner's feelingB. a dog’s state of mind and the direction of its tail waggingC. a dog’s sense of direction and its state of mindD. a dog’s intention of tail wagging and its feeling2. According to the study，dogs which wag their tails to the left may feel_________.A. calmB. happyC. angryD. nervous3. It is implied in Thomas Reimchen’s words in Paragraph 4 that___________.A. dogs’ tails play all important role in their growthB. dogs show their feelings only by wagging their tailsC. dogs get to know others by watching tail waggingD. dogs can understand each other by repeating tail wagging4. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By asking and analyzing questionsB. By making comparisonsC. By following the order of timeD. By providing examplesBBy the time I reached junior high，I was sure I wanted to be a nurse. If you didn’t study Latin，you couldn’t be a nurse，so I enrolled. Many Latin words were familiar to me. The hard part turned out to be the usage and creating sentences with the words that seemed so easy to pronounce. Several weeks into the course my teacher came to me，saying，“I think you should withdraw from this course. It seems to be too hard for you. ”That was the day I learned I wasn’t smart enough to become a nurse. With shame. I handed in my Latin textbook.After high school，the years raced by. I married and had children. Then one day my husband John came home. “Carol. Max died this afternoon. ”I looked at my husband with disbelief.John was touched by this tragedy. Finally one evening he said，“Carol，Jackie has never worked and now she’s alone with four children. I've been thinking — if anything happens to me. I want you to be able to take care of yourself and the children. Why don’t you think about what you’d like to do and get the training you’ll need to do it?”I signed up for the entrance exam for nursing programs. One day I received a letter from the schoo1. I wanted so badly to open it，but with my lack of confidence，I laid it on the kitchen counter saying，” I'm not in the mood for a rejection letter today. ”Finally I forced myself to open it. “Dear Carol，”I read. ”We are pleased to inform you that you successfully passed the entrance e xam.”An insensitive teacher once stole my dream. If you have a dream, exhaust every effort to reach it. I’ve worked thirty years now as a nurse and I’ve never been more certain that this is whatI was meant to be.5. Why did John advise Carol to find a job?A. To support the familyB. To be able to live independentlyC. To live a more colorful lifeD. To provide more money for her kids6. From the text, we know what the teacher said____________.A. saved Carol from wasting her timeB. helped Carol find her true interestC. destroyed Carol’s dream to be a nurseD. encouraged Carol to be careful in learning7. After receiving the letter from the schoo1, Caro1____________.A. couldn’t wait to open itB. had no mood to read it thenC. didn’t take it serious ly at allD. was uncertain about the result8. What may be the best title for the text？A. Too stupid to be a nurseB. A dream too high to achieveC. Never too late to 1earnD. A chance too important to missCAnswering the Community Needs of Our CityThe Silver City Council recognizes that citizens have certain needs. To better meet your needs, we have made several changes to community facilities in 2014. The followings show how we have tried to make your life better.Transport☆Three stations for the suburbs have been added to the western train service.☆20 new buses for the southern line were purchased in January.☆50 per cent of city bus-stops have been upgraded.Communication☆Broadband cable is now available to all parts of the city.☆All of the new Government buildings are smart-wired for better computer service!Medical Facilities☆The new state-of-the-art Nightingale Hospital was opened in June.☆To overcome a shortage of trained medical staff at Dover Hospital, 10 doctors have been employed from overseas.☆Some facilities at Station Street Hospital have been upgraded.Education☆Textbooks will be free to all primary students in 2014 !☆Rental for private schools has been reduced.Protection and Security☆Extra police now patrol (巡逻) the tourist areas.☆50 new police officers graduated in July and have taken up duties in the city area.

The public notice is from_______.A. the communityB. the local governmentC. the Silver City LibraryD. a travel agencyDInformation from the pioneer spacecraft of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) obviously proves the theory that the burning 900-degree Fahrenheit surface temperature of Venus is due to an atmospheric(大气的) greenhouse effect caused mainly by a blanket of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳). Such a greenhouse effect is created when energy in the form of sunlight easily passes through a planet’s atmosphere, warms its surface, and becomes heat radiation(辐射) that is then held in by the atmosphe re. The orbiting spacecraft has collected Venus’ atmosphere from top to bottom so that NASA’s scientists are able to prove the exact amount of sunlight received at various places in the planet’s atmosphere and on its surface. Measurements of atmosphere, te mperature, and radioactive heating foresee Venus’ surface temperature very exactly. The planet is closer to the Sun than is Earth, and it has a thin atmosphere like Earth’s, but Venus’ atmosphere is made up of more than ninety percent carbon dioxide, compared to less than four percent in that of Earth. Because of its higher percentage of carbon dioxide, Venus’ atmosphere receives much more heat radiation than the Earth does. Thus, the Venus studies are believed to be important to the understanding of possib le bad effects on Earth’s agriculture and sea levels that could result from the long-term use of fuels, which add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.12. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage?A. A New Theory.B. Measuring Planetary Temperatures.C. The Journey of Pioneer Spacecraft.D. The Greenhouse Effect on Venus.13. According to the passage, what happens to heat radiation on Venus?A. It disappears at the planet’s surface.B. It is received by the atmosphere.C. It creates energy.D. It is changed into other kinds of energy.14. According to the passage, how does the atmosphere of Venus differ from that of Earth?A. It contains much more carbon dioxide.B. It holds much less water.C. It is four percent thinner.D. It receives less heat radiation.15. From the passage it can be considered that the burning of fuels on Earth may cause _____.A. more carbon dioxide to enter sea waterB. more sunlight to reach the Earth’s surfaceC. the atmosphere to become thinnerD. the planet’s temperature to change第二节（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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

民乐一中2015-2016学年第二学期高二（4）部4月模拟英语试卷（一）第I卷第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分40分)阅读下列列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AA mystery surrounds my grandmother’s collection of salt cellars (盐瓶). No one in the family seems to know when she started collecting them, or exactly how many she had.My grandmother died just over two years ago. At 91, she had spent 30 years without her right leg, which was removed due to cancer the year I was born. She was a poet, an artist, a food lover and a salt cellar collector. The funny thing about the salts, as she called them —I never once heard her say salt cellar — was that although everybody knew they were her hobby and everyone was always searching for them at yard sales or in stores, nobody seemed to know what they meant to her and they just wanted to make her happy. Grandma kept her salts in a dark wooden corner display case in the living room. Since her death the case has remained exactly as she left it. Grandpa tries his best to preserve his memories of her just as they are.Now I am collecting, too. Co llecting memories about my grandmother’s hobby, a way she spent her time. And as I hold one of them in my hand, I picture her holding it in her hand on the day she got it. She is smiling. My mother and her two sisters all have small collections, but my mother admits that she was more interested in finding salts to send to Grandma.Grandma once wrote a poem titled “When April Comes”. The poem contains the line, “When April comes and I am not around, remember me when daffodils are found.” Now, Grandpa is wor king on a poem with the line, “April came and you were not around”.But she was, somehow. She was there in the memories left behind by her possessions.1. In writing the text, the author expressed .A. her sadness at losing her grandmaB. her desire to collect more salt cellarsC. her love for her grandmaD. her curiosity about her grandma’s possessions2. The underlined part “her possessions” in the last paragraph refers to ____.A. Grandma’s experienceB. Grandma’s hobbyC. Grandma’s talentD. Grandma’s strong will3. It can be inferred from the text that the author’s family .A. are very proud of their interesting family historyB. value the wonderful poems Grandma wroteC. are much influenced by Grandma’s interestD. know much about grandparents’ love4. What would be the best title for the text?A. Grandma’s Salt Cellar CollectionB. The Mystery of Grandma’s Salt CellarsC. Grandparents’ Lifelong DevotionD. A Family’s Collection HistoryBAsk a teacher to name the most annoying invention of recent years and they will often mention the mobile phone. Disturbed by the problems they create, many head teachers have ordered that pupils should keep their phones switched off at school. Others have told pupils to leave them at home.However, education researchers at The University of Nottingham believe it is time that phone bans were reassessed, because mobile phones can be a powerful learning aid, they say. Dr Elizabeth Hartnell-Young and her colleagues have reached this conclusion after studying the consequences of allowing pupils in five secondary schools to use either their own mobile phones or the new generation of ‘smartphones’ in lessons.During the nine-month experiment, 14- to 16-year-old pupils used the phones for a wide range of educational purposes, including creating short movies, setting homework reminders, recording a teacher reading a poem, and timing experiments with the phones’ s topwatches. The smartphones, which could be connected to the Internet, also allowed pupils to access revision websites, log into the school email system, or transfer (转存) electronic files between school and home.The research involved 331 pupils in schools in Cambridgeshire, West Berkshire and Nottingham. “At the start of the study, even pupils were often surprised at the thought that mobile phones could be used for learning,” Dr Hartnell-Young said. “After their hands-on experience,almost all pupils said they had enjoyed the project and felt more inspired.”Some teachers found that pupils who lacked confidence gained most from the project. However, they recognised that greater use of mobile phones in schools could cause problems.5. We can infer from the first paragraph that .A. teachers are strongly against students owning mobile phonesB. mobile phones should be developed to meet students’ needsC. students are free to use their mobile phones at schoolD. mobile phones are usually forbidden to be used at school6. When the students first used mobile phones for learning, they .A. all enjoyed the project very muchB. didn’t know what they were used forC. didn’t fully realize the learning functions of mobile phonesD. were surprised that they were allowed to use mobile phones in schools7. Who benefited most from the project?A. Older pupils.B. Pupils who were not confident.C. Younger pupils.D. Pupils who were confident.8. The purpose of the text is to tell us that .A. mobile phones can actually help students learnB. mobile phones begin to be widely used in schoolsC. too much use of mobile phones in schools can cause problemsD. the mobile phone is considered the most annoying invention of recent yearsCA patent is the tool that can be used to prevent people from making, selling, offering to sell or importing the patented items without permission. According to the patent law, any person who “invents any new and useful process, machine, or composition (成分) of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof, may obtain a patent.”The law has described the limits of the field of subject matter that can be patented, and thus it has been held that the laws of nature, physical phenomena, and abstract ideas are not patentable subject matter. A patent cannot be obtained upon just an idea or suggestion.In order for an invention to be patentable it must be new as described in the patent law, whichalso provides that an invention cannot be patented if: “(a) the inv ention was known or used by others in this country, or patented or described in a printed publication in this or a foreign country before the invention by the applicant for patent,” or “(b) the invention was patented or described in a printed publication in this or a foreign country or in public use or on sale in this country more than one year before the application for patent in America.”Moreover, even if the subject matter sought to be patented is not exactly shown by the previous art, and involves one or more differences over the most nearly similar thing already known, a patent may still be refused. The subject matter sought to be patented must be fully different from what has been used or described before in the area of technology related to the invention. For example, the substitutions of one color for another, or changes in size, are not patentable.9. We can learn from the text that a patent .A. is a legal limit to the spread of most new inventionsB. is a permit for using a new invention by the inventorC. proves necessary when people want to invent somethingD. serves as an effective tool to protect inventors’ rights10. Which of the following can not be patented according to the patent law?A. A new computing tool.B. A new packaging for a product.C. A new economic theory.D. A new waste treatment method.11. We can infer from the text that .A. it’s not easy to put new inventions into productionB. a patent will not be applicable in some countriesC. there are strict criteria for applying for a patentD. the patent law differs greatly between countries12. The author writes this text in order to tell us .A. what can or can’t be patented under the patent lawB. how to avoid failing to get a patent for a new inventionC. there are few inventions that can be patentedD. how to bring the patent law into forceDWomen facing breast cancer (乳腺癌) report that their cats rank among the most important supporters, alongside parents and siblings (兄弟姐妹) they rely on to help them through their treatment.Fish, a breast cancer survivor, relied on the companionship of her two cats, Phoebe and Jack, during her treatments. “They were the perfect companions when I needed them most,” Fish says. “They gave silent strength.” Fish is far from the only breast cancer survivor to show the power of her cat. A recent Purina Cat Chow national survey of breast cancer survivors with cats points out this important relationship.Dr. Karen Sueda, at the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists, says, “Whether pet owners are fighting diseases such as breast cancer or going through a rough period in life such as job loss or some stress, their cats often display intuitive (直觉的) behavior of knowing when they need extra suppor t.”Hearing countless stories from breast cancer patients and survivors of how they have been emotionally supported by their cats, Purina Cat Chow honors this exceptional relationship and is doing its part to help the fight against breast cancer. This year, in a partnership with Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Purina Cat Chow will donate more than $200,000 to the cause and invites consumers to help us raise awareness of breast cancer.Susan G. Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest network of breast cance r survivors and activists fighting to find the cures.

No one tells us that the greatest moments of a lifetime are short, unplanned and nearly always catch us off guard.Not long ago，as I was reading a bedtime story to my seven-year-old daughter, Annie，I became aware of her focused look. She was staring at me with a faraway, blank expression. Apparently, completing The Tale of Samuel Whiskers was not as important as we first thought.I asked what she was thinking about. “Mommy,” she whispered, “I just can't stop looking at your pretty face.”I almost dissolved(溶解) on the spot. Little did she know how many trying moments the glow of her sincerely loving statement would carry me through over the following years.Not long after, I took my four-year-old son to an elegant department store, where the sweet notes of a classic love song drew us toward a tuxedoed(穿晚礼服的) musician playing a grand piano. Sam and I sat down on a marble bench nearby, and he seemed as astonished by the pleasant theme as I was. I didn’t realize that Sam had stood up next to me until he turned, took my face in his little hands and said, “Dance with me.”If only those women walking under the Paris moon knew the joy of such an invitation made by a round-cheeked boy with baby teeth. Althoughshoppers openly chuckled(咯咯笑) and pointed at us as we glided and whirled(旋转) around the open space, I would not have traded a dance with such a charming young gentleman if I'd been offered the universe.28.

Why wouldn’t the author trade a dance with her son even if she was given the world ?A. Because she knew she wouldn’t be given the universe.B. Because her son was the most important person to her.C. Because she thought she was the happiest one at the moment.D. Because it was very important for the author to dance with her son.31. What does the author want to prove by showing two examples of her kids?A. Her kids love her very much.B. She enjoys staying with her kids.C. The greatest moments of a lifetime always come unexpectedly.D. Those women walking under the moon should enjoy the happinesswith kids.4.Chinese police are joining Italian officers on the streets of Rome and Milan in an experiment aimed at helping tourists from China feel safe, Italy’s interior ministry has announced.The experiment is the first of its kind in Europe, China’s ambassador to Italy, Li Ruiyu, said at a meeting to announce the project, according to a statement from the Italian ministry.The four Chinese officers, who were trained by Italians in Beijing, will wear the same uniforms they wear at home so their compatriots can recognize them easily.More than 3 million Chinese tourists come to Italy every year, according to Liao Jinrong, the director general of the Chinese international co-operation bureau.“This servic e was planned with Chinese tourists in mind and, if it works well, we may consider other forms of collaboration, given the presence of the Chinese community in our country,” said the interior minister, Angelino Alfano.The officers will share information with Italian police and help Chinese tourists if they need to contact local authorities and diplomats from Monday until 13 May, the ministry said.Liao, the head of the Chinese international co-operation bureau, said the officers’ assignment was a“historic moment” recalling that the route between China and Italy was mapped 700 years ago by Venetian merchant traveler Marco Polo.32.

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑.AOne winter evening, a storekeeper was going to close up his shop. Suddenly he saw Seth, a lazy, good – for –nothing fellow grasp a pound of fresh butter and hid it in his hat. No sooner had the storekeeper seen the act than he hit upon exactly the right revenge(报复). He would punish the thief, and satisfy his own appetite for fun.Seth had his hat on his head, and the butter in his hat. He was anxious to leave. However, the rightful owner of the butter offered him a cup of hot drink, took him by the shoulders and planted him in a seat close to the stove. The grocer filled in the stove as many sticks of wood as he could. Seth already could feel the butter settling down closer to his hair, so he jumped up, declaring that he must go. ―Sit down; don’t be in such a hurry,‖ replied the grocer, pushing him back into the chair again.Streak after streak of the butter came pouring from under the poor man’s hat. The fun-loving grocer kept on putting wood into the stove.Then, as if surprised, he remarked, ―You seem to be sweating as if you were warm! Let me put your hat away for you.‖―No! ‖ exclaimed poor Seth at last, unable to stan d it a moment longer. ― No, I must go; let me out.‖ A greasy (油腻的) waterfall of butter was now pouring down the poor man’s face and neck, dipping into his clothes, and trickling down his body into his boots. He was bathedin oil from head to toe. Just as Seth rushed out of the door, the grocer said, ―I believe the fun I’ve had out of you is worth the money, so I shan’t charge you for that pound of butter in your hat.‖1.Why did Seth put the butter in his hat?A.Because he didn’t want to pay for it.B.Because he just wanted to play a trick on the grocer.C.Because he wanted to revenge himself on the grocer.D.Because he had nowhere to put the butter but in the hat.2.What is not the action that the grocer took as a revenge?A.The grocer offered Seth a cup of hot drink.B.The grocer offered to take off Seth’s hat.C.The grocer overcharged Seth for the butter.D.The grocer forced Seth to take a seat near the stove.3.What was the purpose of the grocer’s hospitality(热情好客)?1A.

He wanted to sell more of his goods.4.What is the best title of the passage?A.Great FunB.The Right RevengeC.A Fun-loving GrocerD.A Foolish CustomerBIt is important for countries to develop. Sometimes development can do more harm than good for a country. Therefore, this development needs to be different from past development, which polluted the environment and wasted natural resources. One possible solution to this problem now being discussed is sustainable development. It focuses on preserving the environment and natural resources. It is all about creating better health care, education, housing and improved standard of living for everyone. This is a simple idea, but one that is hard to put intopractice. However, it is something that we must do, because without sustainable development, our future and the lives of our children andour grandchildren will be in danger.Nearly everything we do in our modern lives requires the use of the Earth’s natural resources. These natural resources provide the energy for many important things. The list is almost endless. For all these things, we mostly depend on fuels such as coal, gas and oil to produce energy. We are now consuming these fuels at a much higher rate than they are being produced. On top of this, burning these fuels produces carbon dioxide, which is harmful to the environment. This is why many peopleare pushing for the use of alternative energy sources.Alternative energy sources can be used without running out. Some examples of the alternatives are solar energy, wind energy and hydroelectricity. As people are becoming more aware of the need to protect the environment, these types of energy are becoming more and more popular.In many parts of the world, tentative(试验性的) steps are being taken to introduce these forms of alternative energy. For example, some people in Nigeria are training to use solar power, and in Costa Rica, people are now using hydroelectricity to provide power for their small villages. The introduction of programmes like these will hopefully help end the systematic destruction of the environment and see alternative energy promoted around the world. This will mean good things for ourfutur e, our children’s future and our grandchildren’s future.5. We know from the passage that sustainable development _________.A. means to develop slowlyB. can bring little good to the peopleC. has ended the environmental destructionD. is an idea being discussed6. It is important to preserve the natural resources because they _________.A. consume the energy for important thingsB. are running outC. provide the energy for people to useD. are being produced at a high rate7. Hydroelectricity means ___________.A. using the sun to provide electricityB. using wind power to produce electricityC. using water power to produce electricityD. using water to protect the environment8. What is the author’s att itude toward sustainable development?A. Critical.B. Positive.C. Tolerant.D.
