2014高考高三年级英语模拟试卷（第I卷）总分：150分考试时间：120分钟一．阅读理解（40分）AThe time may soon come when we say goodbye to most of the world’s languages. Today humans express themselves in over 6,000 different languages. But that is quickly changing. Many scientists say that over half of these languages will disappear within the next 50 years. After 100 years, the languages used in the world will not be more than 20.Why? It is because people from different cultures live and work together much more often than before. This brings change. The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures.Most international trade takes place in world languages such as English. People respect their own cultures and traditions, but when it comes to getting a job, knowing a world language is often necessary. It may mean the difference between success and failure.Technology works on the change of languages in an even more amazing way. Modern media such as radio and television give young people in developing countries much knowledge about the world. But this knowledge doesn’t come in words from the mouths of their parents or the elders in their neighborhood. It usually comes in the language of a different culture.People in different cultures think it good for them to share a popular language. They can quickly share ideas and work together. Knowing the same language means easier communication and is a basis for trust.Is the death of a small local language such a terrible thing?The answer is maybe. Many cultures may have words for many useful things we know nothing about. If their languages die, their valuable wisdom may be lost forever.The future of the world’s languages depends on our actions now. Will we protect endangered languages or allowed them to quietly disappear?Time will have the last word.56. Scientists say that within 50 years, perhaps, there will be only _____languages in the world.A. 4,000B. over 3,000C. around 3,000D. no more than 2057. In “The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing thelanguages of the smaller cultures,” the verb “replace” means “_____”.A. to put something back into a correct placeB. to use a second thing in place of the first thingC. to find good place for somethingD. to decide how important something is58. The passage says that if all the people in the world knew a major worldlanguage, _____.A. radio and television would all use the languageB. it would be easier for them to share their ideasC. lessons at schools would be taught in the languageD. people would respect their own culture more59. Also, the passage says that if nobody spoke the languages of smallercultures, _____.A. Many of the words for things we do not know would be lost.B. knowledge would come from the mouths of the eldersC. people would have difficult in working togetherD. there would be no smaller cultures.60. By saying “Time will have the last word,” the writer means “ _____”.A. let us wait and seeB. we have time to do somethingC. it is too late to do anythingD. it is only a problem of timeBPeople who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds. It’s possible that being full of vim and vigor helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh.“We need to take more seriously the possibility that a positive emotional style is a major player in disease risk,” says psychologist Sheldon Cohen, the study’s lead researcher.In a previous study, Cohen and his colleagues found that people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles, coughs, and other cold symptoms.Those findings were interesting, but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. Instead, it was still probable that a person’s underlying personality is what matters.Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high self-respect and a sense of2control over life. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, finally decides our chances of catching colds.To figure out which mattered more (personality or emotions). The CMU team interviewed 193 healthy adults. The researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks. They told the researchers about the positive and negative feelings that they had experienced that day.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks.Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy (堵塞) noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive. Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we are, For now, it can not hurt to look on the bright side more often than not.61. What is the text mainly about?A. How to get rid of colds.B. Attitude determines life.C. Smiles turn away colds.D. Different opinions about colds.62.The phrase”full of vim and vigor” underlined in Paragraph 1 probablymeans___________.A.ignorantB. Well-informedC. energeticD. in low spirits63.According to the research, persons who are likely to catch colds should bethose __________?A. Who have negative attitude towards their life.B. Who are very emotional and optimistic.C. Who are open-minded and outgoing.D. Who have trouble with their noses64.The last paragraph implies that __________.A.positive and negative emotions have good aspects.B.people who have been less positive tend to catch colds.C.Keeping an optimistic state of mind is good for health.D.positive emotions have a stronger effect on health.C高三英语第3页Comic Strips（连环漫画）For hundreds of years, artists have used cartoons to criticize bad rulers or landowners. As early as the 19th century, people produced and read books of drawing. In many ways, they were similar to modern comics. They contained stories of naughty children and playful animals. The owl（猫头鹰）and the elephant were usually wise animals, ready to give advice. The lion and the tiger were brave. The fox and the wolf were cunning（狡猾的）greedy（贪婪的）and dangerous.A century ago, an American newspaper published the first full-colour comic strip. It was so popular that sales of the newspaper, Morning Journal, increased quickly. Since then, newspapers throughout the world have included comic strips.In modern times, comics are popular in China, Japan, the USA and almost everywhere. Not even video games or CD-ROMs have reduced their popularity. Names such as Snoopy, Woodstock and Garfield are well known in dozens of countries. The Peanuts comic strip appears in over 2,000 newspapers and in more than 25 languages. People believe that its creator, Charles M. Schultz, earned US$60 million a year.Perhaps one day, you may like to create your own comic strip and become a millionaire. First, you must think of a good plot. It should be funny, exciting or interesting in some way. It should have plenty of action. Moreover, the language must be realistic and simple. The words should suit the characters in your story. One type of person might say, “Please be quiet and listen to what we have to say.” But another type of character might simply say, “Shut up and listen!”Furthermore, the characters in your story must be clear to readers. They should be obviously good or bad ---- and not a mixture of both. A leader must be stronger or cleverer than his or her followers. In many comic strips ---- especially those showing crime of adventure ---- there should also be a hero or heroine. This will attract the reader to keep on reading the story.65. The underlined word “plot” is similar in meaning to _____.A. placeB. stripC. storyD. character66. Which of the following is NOT the name of a cartoon Character?A. Snoopy.B. Peanuts.C. Woodstock.D. Garfield.67. In the 19th century, the wolf in the cartoons was NOT _____.A. cunningB. dangerousC. greedyD. brave4DMeetings don’t just eat up time in the workplace ; they actually make groups of people stupider, says new research.Working in a group makes people perform worse on intelligence tests, as some group members are so anxious about doing well that they “divert”their brain towards maintaining their social status in the group.You may joke about how committee meetings make you feel brain dead, but our findings suggest that they make you act brain dead as well, said Read Montague the study leader at Virginia Tech.Groups of volunteers showed measurable drops in IQ when asked to perform intelligence tests socially, with the results broadcast to the group.Some people performed well in the “social”tests, but others were affected badly--- and overall,performance dropped.Women appear to feel this pressure more than men---only three out of 13 female volunteers performed well in a social environment, with 10 out of 13 finding that their performance dropped.The researchers used a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner to monitor how people’s brains responded--- and found that bad performers tended to show activity in parts of their brain that dealt with emotions and anxiety.“We started with individuals who were matched for their IQ,”said Montague. “Yet when we placed them in small groups, ranked their performance on tasks against their peers, and broadcast the rankings, we saw dramatic drops in the ability of some study subjects to solve problems.”“Our study highlights the unexpected and dramatic consequences even subtle social signals in group settings may have on the individual,” said lead author Keneth Kishida.“We don’t know how much these effects are present in real-world settings. By placing an emphasis on competition, for example, are we missinga large segment of the talent pool?”68. Which of the following statements is Not true according to thepassage?A.

2014高考高三年级英语模拟试卷（第I卷）总分：150分考试时间：120分钟一．阅读理解（40分）AThe time may soon come when we say goodbye to most of the world’s languages. Today humans express themselves in over 6,000 different languages. But that is quickly changing. Many scientists say that over half of these languages will disappear within the next 50 years. After 100 years, the languages used in the world will not be more than 20.Why? It is because people from different cultures live and work together much more often than before. This brings change. The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures.Most international trade takes place in world languages such as English. People respect their own cultures and traditions, but when it comes to getting a job, knowing a world language is often necessary. It may mean the difference between success and failure.Technology works on the change of languages in an even more amazing way. Modern media such as radio and television give young people in developing countries much knowledge about the world. But this knowledge doesn’t come in words from the mouths of their parents or the elders in their neighborhood. It usually comes in the language of a different culture.People in different cultures think it good for them to share a popular language. They can quickly share ideas and work together. Knowing the same language means easier communication and is a basis for trust.Is the death of a small local language such a terrible thing?The answer is maybe. Many cultures may have words for many useful things we know nothing about. If their languages die, their valuable wisdom may be lost forever.The future of the world’s languages depends on our actions now. Will we protect endangered languages or allowed them to quietly disappear?Time will have the last word.56. Scientists say that within 50 years, perhaps, there will be only _____languages in the world.A. 4,000B. over 3,000C. around 3,000D. no more than 2057. In “The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing thelanguages of the smaller cultures,” the verb “replace” means “_____”.A. to put something back into a correct placeB. to use a second thing in place of the first thingC. to find good place for somethingD. to decide how important something is58. The passage says that if all the people in the world knew a major worldlanguage, _____.A. radio and television would all use the languageB. it would be easier for them to share their ideasC. lessons at schools would be taught in the languageD. people would respect their own culture more59. Also, the passage says that if nobody spoke the languages of smallercultures, _____.A. Many of the words for things we do not know would be lost.B. knowledge would come from the mouths of the eldersC. people would have difficult in working togetherD. there would be no smaller cultures.60. By saying “Time will have the last word,” the writer means “ _____”.A. let us wait and seeB. we have time to do somethingC. it is too late to do anythingD. it is only a problem of timeBPeople who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds. It’s possible that being full of vim and vigor helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh.“We need to take more seriously the possibility that a positive emotional style is a major player in disease risk,” says psychologist Sheldon Cohen, the study’s lead researcher.In a previous study, Cohen and his colleagues found that people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles, coughs, and other cold symptoms.Those findings were interesting, but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. Instead, it was still probable that a person’s underlying personality is what matters.Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high self-respect and a sense of2control over life. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, finally decides our chances of catching colds.To figure out which mattered more (personality or emotions). The CMU team interviewed 193 healthy adults. The researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks. They told the researchers about the positive and negative feelings that they had experienced that day.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks.Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy (堵塞) noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive. Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we are, For now, it can not hurt to look on the bright side more often than not.61. What is the text mainly about?A. How to get rid of colds.B. Attitude determines life.C. Smiles turn away colds.D. Different opinions about colds.62.The phrase”full of vim and vigor” underlined in Paragraph 1 probablymeans___________.A.ignorantB. Well-informedC. energeticD. in low spirits63.According to the research, persons who are likely to catch colds should bethose __________?A. Who have negative attitude towards their life.B. Who are very emotional and optimistic.C. Who are open-minded and outgoing.D. Who have trouble with their noses64.The last paragraph implies that __________.A.positive and negative emotions have good aspects.B.people who have been less positive tend to catch colds.C.Keeping an optimistic state of mind is good for health.D.positive emotions have a stronger effect on health.C高三英语第3页Comic Strips（连环漫画）For hundreds of years, artists have used cartoons to criticize bad rulers or landowners. As early as the 19th century, people produced and read books of drawing. In many ways, they were similar to modern comics. They contained stories of naughty children and playful animals. The owl（猫头鹰）and the elephant were usually wise animals, ready to give advice. The lion and the tiger were brave. The fox and the wolf were cunning（狡猾的）greedy（贪婪的）and dangerous.A century ago, an American newspaper published the first full-colour comic strip. It was so popular that sales of the newspaper, Morning Journal, increased quickly. Since then, newspapers throughout the world have included comic strips.In modern times, comics are popular in China, Japan, the USA and almost everywhere. Not even video games or CD-ROMs have reduced their popularity. Names such as Snoopy, Woodstock and Garfield are well known in dozens of countries. The Peanuts comic strip appears in over 2,000 newspapers and in more than 25 languages. People believe that its creator, Charles M. Schultz, earned US$60 million a year.Perhaps one day, you may like to create your own comic strip and become a millionaire. First, you must think of a good plot. It should be funny, exciting or interesting in some way. It should have plenty of action. Moreover, the language must be realistic and simple. The words should suit the characters in your story. One type of person might say, “Please be quiet and listen to what we have to say.” But another type of character might simply say, “Shut up and listen!”Furthermore, the characters in your story must be clear to readers. They should be obviously good or bad ---- and not a mixture of both. A leader must be stronger or cleverer than his or her followers. In many comic strips ---- especially those showing crime of adventure ---- there should also be a hero or heroine. This will attract the reader to keep on reading the story.65. The underlined word “plot” is similar in meaning to _____.A. placeB. stripC. storyD. character66. Which of the following is NOT the name of a cartoon Character?A. Snoopy.B. Peanuts.C. Woodstock.D. Garfield.67. In the 19th century, the wolf in the cartoons was NOT _____.A. cunningB. dangerousC. greedyD. brave4DMeetings don’t just eat up time in the workplace ; they actually make groups of people stupider, says new research.Working in a group makes people perform worse on intelligence tests, as some group members are so anxious about doing well that they “divert”their brain towards maintaining their social status in the group.You may joke about how committee meetings make you feel brain dead, but our findings suggest that they make you act brain dead as well, said Read Montague the study leader at Virginia Tech.Groups of volunteers showed measurable drops in IQ when asked to perform intelligence tests socially, with the results broadcast to the group.Some people performed well in the “social”tests, but others were affected badly--- and overall,performance dropped.Women appear to feel this pressure more than men---only three out of 13 female volunteers performed well in a social environment, with 10 out of 13 finding that their performance dropped.The researchers used a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner to monitor how people’s brains responded--- and found that bad performers tended to show activity in parts of their brain that dealt with emotions and anxiety.“We started with individuals who were matched for their IQ,”said Montague. “Yet when we placed them in small groups, ranked their performance on tasks against their peers, and broadcast the rankings, we saw dramatic drops in the ability of some study subjects to solve problems.”“Our study highlights the unexpected and dramatic consequences even subtle social signals in group settings may have on the individual,” said lead author Keneth Kishida.“We don’t know how much these effects are present in real-world settings. By placing an emphasis on competition, for example, are we missinga large segment of the talent pool?”68. Which of the following statements is Not true according to thepassage?A. Meetings make groups of people stupider.B. Meetings make you act brain dead.C. Meetings make people perform worse on intelligence tests.高三英语第5页D. Meetings don’t affect men’s performance in intelligence tests.69. This passage can be classified as __________.A. An advertisementB.a book reviewC. A feature storyD.a science report70.What would be the best title of the text?A. Brainstorming? More Like Brain DrainB. Brainstorming Affects People”s IQ TestC. Brainstorming Makes People Act Brain DeadD.Brainstorming Affects Women’s PerformanceE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。

That goes far 51 the old records.The extent of how 52 the year has been in the US has 53 some meteorologists(气象学者) who have warned about global warming.“Everybody has this uneasy feeling. This is not good,” said Jerry Meehl, a climate scientist who54 in extreme weather at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo. “It’s a55 pleasure. You’re out enjoying this 56 March weather, but you know it’s not a good thing.”It’s not just March.“It’s been going on for several months,” said Jake Crouch, a climate scientist at NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in Ashville, N.C.Meteorologists say an unusual combination of several weather 57 , including La Nina, was the direct cause of the warm start to 2012. While individual events can’t be 58 on global warming, Crouch said this is like the extremes that are supposed to get more frequent because of 59 climate change from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil.Normally, March 60 42.5 degrees across the country. This year, the average was 51.1, which is closer to the average for April. Only one other time —in January 2006 —was the country as a whole that much 61 than normal for an entire month.In March, 62 7,775 weather stations across the nation broke daily high temperature records and another 7,517 broke records for night-time 63 .

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）Marshall was a promising young artist. He painted with great feeling. His paintings were all characterized by a strong love and sympathy for people. His high school art teacher felt he had a special talent.Marshall’s father didn’t want him to be a painter, however. Mr. Donaldson wanted his son to be a stockbroker(股票经纪人). He wanted Marshall to continue the dynasty started by his great-great grandfather in 1820. The family business, Donaldson and Donaldson Inc., was now a large, successful investment firm.Mr. Donaldson felt Marshall was much too individualistic. “Listen,” he told his son, “I had no say in choosing my career. I just did what my dad told me.”“But you are good at business,”Marshall replied. “I’m not. I’m sure I would just cause trouble for you and problems for the company.” Marshall felt there was no way he could ever fill his father’s shoes. And, although he was no stranger to high society, he didn’t feel comfortable among the wealthy. He preferred the ordinary, working-class people of the city. His paintings told of their struggles and their hopes.Sometimes after school Marshall would hang around outside a factory gate. He would draw the workers as they came out at the end of their shift. Marshall wondered how they could keep doing that hard, boring work year after year. Then he realized most of them would be doing something different if they could. But their great obstacle in life was lack of education.When Marshall got home, he would take out his paintings. The paintings expressed his sympathy and respect for those hard-working people.Well, Marshall never did enter the family business. This angered his father. But as Marshall got older, his career as an artist began to take off. He became quite famous, and people paid large amounts for his “plain people” paintings.In time, this success won Marshall’s dad over. Mr. Donaldson could see his son was born to paint. Marshall was glad his father finally came around. And happily, the two began to work together after all. Twice each year they held a benefit art show.Marshall donated a number of his paintings to be sold at each show. The persuasive Mr. Donaldson got his wealthy friends and clients(客户) to attend—and to spend. The money from the art sales was used to help factory workers improve their education.65. Why didn’t Marshall’s father want Marshall to be a painter at first?A. He thought Marshall was good at business rather than art.B. He expected Marshall to continue their family business.C. He wanted Marshall to earn more money.D. He thought Marshall was individualistic.66. From the passage we can learn that ___________.A. Marshall’s choice turned out to be wrongB. Marshall’s choice affected their family businessC. Marshall’s father at last supported Marshall’s choiceD. Marshall’s father was always unhappy with Marshall’s choice67. The underlined phrase “take off” in paragraph 7 probably means “__________”.A. to take away or removeB. to go away unexpectedlyC. to stop working temporarilyD. to suddenly become very successful68. It was __________ that made Marshall a successful artist.A. his talent and diligenceB. his dad’s help with art showsC. his art teacher’s supportD. his desire to help poor people（B）To whom it may concern,I highly recommend Jane Doe as a candidate for employment.

Millions more live with adults who are sick from AIDS.Lucie Cluver from Oxford University in England has studied children of AIDS(AIDS orphaned children and children living with sick adults) in South Africa. She says children can be deeply affected by their experiences. And one of the biggest impacts we see is mental health, their psychological health. So, for example, we see that AIDS orphaned children have very much higher levels of depression, anxiety and stress disorder than children who have a live parent or children whose parents have died of other causes. Lucie Cluver says children have to live with the sense of shame connected to AIDS. Many are abused(欺负) at school or excluded from the community.Children living with sick adults are more likely to live in poverty and face physical and emotional abuse. Also, Lucie Cluver says the children often become the caregivers. They’re missing school to go and get medication. They’re often taking them to the toilet, cleaning their wounds or washing their bedclothes. So these kids find it ve ry stressful and upsetting. They’re very worried about the health and feel responsible for the health of the sick person. Close contact with sick adults can sometimes spread tuberculosis(肺结核) or other diseases. And, as Lucie Cluver said, even when the children are in school, paying attention can be difficult. It’s constantly on their minds and really making it difficult for them to do well at school. She calls for testing more children for tuberculosis. She also calls for giving more parents the drugs needed to keep them healthy longer with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.There are programs to help children, but there is “far more to be done.” Interventions(干预治疗) and support groups are “urgently needed” for those orphaned by AIDS or living with sick adults. But the evidence for which interventions are effective “is still thin”.72. The topic of the passage is __________.A. children of AIDS doing badly at schoolB. more and more children suffering from AIDSC. children of AIDS facing mental problemsD. an increasing number of people dying of AIDS73. According to Lucie Cluver, AIDS orphaned children have very much higher levels ofdepression mainly because they __________.A. have a sense of shame connected to AIDSB. cannot focus their attention on study at schoolC. are more likely to be affected with tuberculosisD. often have to miss school to look after their sick parents74. We can infer from the last paragraph that __________.A. enough has been done for children of AIDSB. interventions prove very effective for children of AIDSC. nothing can be done to help children except interventionsD. interventions may be useful for helping children of AIDS75. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The first case of AIDS occurred 30 years ago.B. Children whose parents are infected with AIDS often help with housework.C. Children whose parents have died of causes other than AIDS don’t have stress disorder.D. Children don’t have psychological problems when their parents are still alive with HIV. Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph.There is one extra heading which you do not need.Making informed choices before and during your trip is the single most important thing you can do to become a responsible traveler. With a little planning, you can improve the quality of your trip, while making a real difference to the people and places you visit.76. ______________________________Search the web and consult guidebooks to start your pre-trip homework. Look for information and resources on eco tourism. Ecotourism Explorer, TIES’ interactive online directory, makes searching for your perfect eco-holiday easy! Choose guidebooks with information on your destination’s environmental, social and political issues, and read before booking.77. ______________________________Call or email tour operators that have firsthand knowledge of the place you are considering visiting. Check the websites of all accommodations. Let tour operators/hotels know that you are a responsible consumer. Before you book, ask about their social and environmental policies. For instance - What is your environmental policy? What percentage of your employees are local citizens? Do you support any projects to benefit the local community?78. ______________________________Are the businesses you’re considering certified? Do they have eco-label ratings, or have they won eco-awards? Have you heard of the AAA or 5-star rating systems? These long-standing labels judge hotel quality and services. Many certification programs have also been created in tourism to rate the environmental and social impacts of tourism businesses. These programs are important tools for distinguishing genuine ecotourism companies, products or services from those that are merely using “eco-” as a marketing tool to attract consumers. More and more companies have earned eco-labels, and we encourage you to purchase from these businesses.79. ______________________________A growing number of tourism businesses are helping to financially and materially support community projects and offering travelers the opportunity to get involved. Many of TIES members around the globe are leading the efforts to give back to local communities and enhance the livelihoods of local people through ecotourism. We encourage you to contribute to and participate in these projects, and support those companies that are making positive impacts on the lives of local hosts.80. ______________________________Don’t Be Fooled by green-washing. “Eco” is a fashionable label used widely in the tourism industry. It sounds appealing, but much of what is marketed as “eco” is simply traditional tourism with superficial changes. So it’s important to check behind the labels.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.A finding in recent years shows that men cannot manufacture blood as efficiently as women can. This makes surgery riskier for men. Men also need more oxygen because they do not breathe as often as women. But men breathe more deeply and this exposes them to another risk. They draw more of the air into their lungs when it is polluted.Men’s bones are larger than women’s and they are arranged somewhat differently. The female walk that causes so many whistles is a matter of bone structure. A man has broader shoulders and a narrower pelvis(骨盆), which makes him walk with no waste moti on. A woman’s wider pelvis, designed for childbearing, forces her to put more movement into each step she takes with the result that she displays a bit of jiggle and sway(摇摆) as she walks.If you think a man is brave because he can climb a ladder to clean the roof, don’t forget it is easier for him than for a woman. The angle at which a woman’s thigh(大腿) is joined to her knees makes climbing difficult for her, whether it is a ladder or stairs or a mountain that she is climbing.A man’s skin is thicker than a woman’s and not nearly as soft. This prevents the sun’s radiation from getting through, which is why men wrinkle less than women do. Women have a thin layer of fat just under the skin and there is a plus to this greater fat reserve. It acts as an invisible fur coat to keep a woman warmer in the winter. Women also stay cooler in summer because the fat layer helps protect them against heat. Men’s fat is distributed differently. And they do not have that layer of it underneath their skin. In fact, they have considerably less fat than women and more muscle. 41 percent of a man’s body is muscle compared to thirty-five percent for women, which means that men have more muscle power. The higher proportion of muscle to fat makes it easier for men to lose weight. Muscle burns up five more calories a pound than fat does just to maintain itself. So when a man wants to lose weight, the pounds roll off much faster.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.) 81. What is this passage mainly about?_______________________________________________________________________________82. That men breathe more deeply can result in a risk of _____________________________.83. The female walk with a bit of jiggle and sway is caused by the fact that ____________________________________________________________________.84. Why do women lose weight more difficultly than men?_______________________________________________________________________________第Ⅱ卷（共45分）I.

It is understandable that family relationships are seen as important, but just as powerful are friendships. Indeed, researchers have found that friendships are often as strong as family relationships, if not stronger.One reason that friendships have such a huge impact on our lives can be explained by the term mirror neurons (神经元), which are neurons in our brains that fire not only when we ourselves do something, but also when we watch someone else do it. Therefore, when we see a friend struggling with a problem, we feel his or her pain and desire to help.Moreover, friendship is crucial to maintaining good mental health. A study published by the Mayo Clinic reveals that adults who maintain strong friendships are happier and healthier than those who do not. Friendships help prevent loneliness, increase a person’s sense of belonging and improve self-confidence. Thus, it is important to not only build new friendships but also to maintain those we already have.Knowing that friendships are so beneficial, it is disappointing to learn that they are becoming rarer in today’s society. For exam ple, the number ofAmericans who say they have no close friends has tripled since 1985. Also, a recent study in the UK showed that nearly one in ten adults has no close friends at all.Clearly, it is time for society to place more emphasis on friendships. They are a basic human need that contribute to our physical and emotional well-being, and it is vital that we keep them strong.29. What do some people often overlook in modern society?A. The importance of friendships.B. The joy of social gatherings.C. The benefits of family ties.D. The need for fun activities.30. Why are friendships powerful according to researchers?A. Family relationships are weak.B. Friends share interests and hobbies.C. Friendships can be stronger than family relationships.D. Friends often live closer to us than family.31. What can cause humans to feel others’ pain according to the passage?A. Genes.B. Family history.C. Experiences.D. Mirror neurons.32. What does the passage say about friendships and mental health?A. Maintaining a strong friendship can help prevent loneliness.B. Adults who have no close friendships are healthier.C. Friendships have no impact on mental health.D. It is easy to build new friendships but hard to maintain old ones.【答案】29. A. 30. C. 31. D. 32. A.BAs a teenager, it is easy to feel stressed due to the many pressures of school, family, and social life. Here are some helpful tips to reduce stress and lead a healthier life.First and foremost, it is important to take care of your physical health. Eating well and getting enough exercise can greatly improve your mood and energy levels. Avoid sugary snacks and junk food as they can cause energy crashes. Instead, focus on eating a balanced diet filled with fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins.In addition, getting enough sleep is crucial for teenagers. Lack of sleep can lead to poor concentration, mood swings, and a weakened immune system. Aim for 8-10 hours of sleep per night to ensure you are well-rested and ready to face the day.Another important aspect of stress management is time management. Many teenagers feel overwhelmed by the amount of work they have to do, from homework to extracurricular activities. Learn to prioritize tasks and make a schedule to ensure you have enough time for everything. Remember to take breaks and relax when needed, as overworking yourself can lead to burnout.Finally, it is important to seek help when needed. If you are feeling overwhelmed or stressed, talk to a trusted friend, family member, or counselor. Sometimes simply talking about your feelings can help relievestress and anxiety. Remember, you are not alone, and there are people who care about you and want to help.By following these tips and taking care of your physical and emotional well-being, you can reduce stress and lead a happier, healthier life as a teenager.33.

I rushed there and knew that they were in the 42 , arguing.I couldn't help 43 out loud: "Brother! Brother!" He 44 me and answered, "What?" "Come here!" I shouted. He came out to me.

But that is quickly changing. Many scientists say that over half of these languages will disappear within the next 50 years. After 100 years, the languages used in the world will not be more than 20.Why? It is because people from different cultures live and work together much more often than before. This brings change. The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures.Most international trade takes place in world languages such as English.People respect their own cultures and traditions, but when it comes to getting a job, knowing a world language is often necessary. It may mean the difference between success and failure.Technology works on the change of languages in an even more amazing way. Modern media such as radio and television give young people in developing countries much knowledge about the world. But this knowledge doesn’t co me in words from the mouths of their parents or the elders in their neighborhood. It usually comes in the language of a different culture.People in different cultures think it good for them to share a popular language. They can quickly share ideas and work together. Knowing the same language means easier communication and is a basis for trust.Is the death of a small local language such a terrible thing?The answer is maybe. Many cultures may have words for many useful things we know nothing about. If their languages die, their valuable wisdom may be lost forever.The future of the world’s languages depends on our actions now. Will we protect endangered languages or allowed them to quietly disappear?Time will have the last word.56. Scientists say that within 50 years, perhaps, there will be only _____ languagesin the world.A. 4,000B. over 3,000C. around 3,000D. no more than 2057. In “The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing the languages ofthe smaller cultures,” the verb “replace” means “_____”.A. to put something back into a correct placeB. to use a second thing in place of the first thingC. to find good place for somethingD. to decide how important something is58. The passage says that if all the people in the world knew a major worldlanguage, _____.A. radio and television would all use the languageB. it would be easier for them to share their ideasC. lessons at schools would be taught in the languageD. people would respect their own culture more59. Also, the passage says that if nobody spoke the languages of smaller cultures,_____.A. Many of the words for things we do not know would be lost.B. knowledge would come from the mouths of the eldersC. people would have difficult in working togetherD. there would be no smaller cultures.60. By saying “Time will have the last word,” the writer means “ _____”.A. let us wait and seeB. we have time to do somethingC. it is too late to do anythingD. it is only a problem of timeBPeople who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds. It’s possible that being full of vim and vigor helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh.“We need to take more seriously the possibility that a positive emotional style is a major player in disease risk,”says psychologist Sheldon Cohen, the study’s lead researcher.In a previous study, Cohen and his colleagues found that people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles, coughs, and other cold symptoms.Those findings were interesting, but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. Instead, it was still probable that a person’s underlying personality is what matters.Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high self-respect and a sense of control over life. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, finally decides our chances of catching colds.To figure out which mattered more (personality or emotions). The CMU team interviewed 193 healthy adults. The researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks. They told the researchers about the positive and negative feelings that they had experienced that day.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks.Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy (堵塞) noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive. Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we are, For now, it can not hurt to look on the bright side more often than not.61. What is the text mainly about?A. How to get rid of colds.B. Attitude determines life.C. Smiles turn away colds.D. Different opinions about colds.62.The phrase”full of vim and vigor” underlined in Paragraph 1 probablymeans___________.A.ignorantB. Well-informedC. energeticD. in low spirits63.According to the research, persons who are likely to catch colds should bethose __________?A. Who have negative attitude towards their life.B. Who are very emotional and optimistic.C. Who are open-minded and outgoing.D. Who have trouble with their noses64.The last paragraph implies that __________.A.positive and negative emotions have good aspects.B.people who have been less positive tend to catch colds.C.Keeping an optimistic state of mind is good for health.D.positive emotions have a stronger effect on health.CComic Strips（连环漫画）For hundreds of years, artists have used cartoons to criticize bad rulers or landowners. As early as the 19th century, people produced and read books of drawing. In many ways, they were similar to modern comics. They contained stories of naughty children and playful animals. The owl（猫头鹰）and the elephant were usually wise animals, ready to give advice. The lion and the tiger were brave. The fox and the wolf were cunning（狡猾的）greedy（贪婪的）and dangerous.A century ago, an American newspaper published the first full-colour comic strip. It was so popular that sales of the newspaper, Morning Journal, increased quickly. Since then, newspapers throughout the world have included comic strips.In modern times, comics are popular in China, Japan, the USA and almost everywhere. Not even video games or CD-ROMs have reduced their popularity. Names such as Snoopy, Woodstock and Garfield are well known in dozens of countries. The Peanuts comic strip appears in over 2,000 newspapers and in more than 25 languages. People believe that its creator, Charles M. Schultz, earned US$60 million a year.Perhaps one day, you may like to create your own comic strip and become amillionaire. First, you must think of a good plot. It should be funny, exciting or interesting in some way. It should have plenty of action. Moreover, the language must be realistic and simple. The words should suit the characters in your story. One type of person might say, “Please be quiet and listen to what we have to say.” But another type of character might simply say, “Shut up and listen!”Furthermore, the characters in your story must be clear to readers. They should be obviously good or bad ---- and not a mixture of both. A leader must be stronger or cleverer than his or her followers. In many comic strips ---- especially those showing crime of adventure ---- there should also be a hero or heroine. This will attract the reader to keep on reading the story.65.
