I was aimlessly wandering down the street, heading into a most gloriously beautiful sunset. I had an urge to speak to someone on the street to share that beauty, but it seemed everyone was in a hurry.I took the next-best action. Quickly I ducked into a department store and asked the lady behind the counter if she could come outsidefor just a minute. She looked at me as though I were from some other planet. She hesitated, and then seemingly against her better judgment, she moved toward the door.When she got outside I said to her, “Just look at that sunset! Nobody out here was looking at it and I just had to share it with someone.”For a few seconds we just looked. Then I said, “God is in his heaven and all is right with the world.” I thanked her for coming out to see it; she went back inside and I left. It felt good to share the beauty.Four years later my situation changed greatly. I came to the end of a twenty-year marriage. I was alone and on my own for the first time in my life. I lived in a trailer park which, at the time, I considered a real come-down, and I had to do my wash in the community laundry room.One day, while my clothes were going around, I picked up a magazine and read an article about a woman who had been in similar circumstances. She had come to the end of a marriage, moved to a strange community, and the only job she could find was one she disliked: clothing sales in a department store.Then something that happened to her changed everything. She said a woman came into her department store and asked her to step outside to look at a sunset. The stranger had said, “God is in his heaven and allis right with the world,” and she had realized the truth in that statement. From that moment on, she turned her life around.56. The author asked the woman to go outside to ______.A. admire the sunsetB. cheer her upC. offer some helpD. have a chat57. Four years later, the author ______.A. found her dream jobB. put an end to her marriageC. worked in a laundry roomD. lived in the same community58. After reading the article in the magazine, the author was probably______.A. disappointedB. puzzledC. inspiredD. overjoyedBThere is a lot of talk these days about how kids should beinterested in science. Here’s an area of science for everyone, andthese cool new books might inspire you to discover your inner scientist.Scaly Spotted Feathered Frilled by Catherine Thimmesh, 58pages, ages 9-12Seeing a picture or a model of a dinosaur, do you wonder how anybody knows what they look like? After all, nobody has seen a living dinosaur. This book explains how scientists and artists work together to re-create dinosaurs. As scientific discoveries have been made, the models have changed. Scientific tests may one day expose what adinosaur’s coloring was, but now artists have to use their imagination to determine how these huge creatures looked.Beyond the Solar System by Mary Kay Carson, 128 pages, ages 10-13This book takes readers back to the beginnings of space exploration—thousands of years ago, when people began star observation—and forward to today’s search for planets in distant parts of the Milky Way. Along with history lessons, readers get 21 activities, such as making a b lack hole and creating a model of Albert Einstein’s universe using a T-shirt. The activities are perfect for cold winter days.Ultimate Bugopedia by Darlyne Murawski and Nancy Honovich, 272 pages, ages 7 and olderIf you’re always on the lookout for butt erflies, this book is for you. Hundreds of color photos of common and unusual insects fill this hardcover. There are fascinating stories related to the photos. For example, do you know an insect feeds on the tears of Asian cattle? There’s a question-and-answer section with an insect scientist and advice on how to help preserve endangered insects.Journey Into the Invisible by Christine Schlitt, 80 pages, ages9-12If you use a magnifying（放大的）glass, you know a leaf looks quite different. This book explains what microscopes do and then shows what happens to things around the house when watched with this amazing scientific tool. The bacteria in your mouth, when magnified 20,000 times,look a bit like swimming pool noodles. Fascinating photos are paired with suggestions about how to learn about the world around you, just by looking a little closer.。

Somebody left the garden gate open. Johnny wandered out, crossed some fields, and two hours later, and arrived in the next village. He was just able to give his name and address.By the time he was seven, Johnny used to vanish from home two to three times a year. Sometimes he covered quite long distances on foot. On other occasions he got on a bus or even a train, and simply sat there until someone asked for his ticket. Generally the police brought him home. "Why do you do it?" they used to ask. "You aren't unhappy at home, are you? .... ““Of course not," Johnny replied.” Then why?" "I just like seeing places," Johnny told them.Johnny continued to "see places" although everyone tried to stop him. His parents used to watch him closely, and so did his teachers; but sooner or later Johnny managed to slip away. As he grew older, his favorite trick was to hide on a long distance truck. Sometimes he used to travel hundreds of miles before anyone discovered him.It is hardly surprising that eventually Johnny managed to get on board a plane. He was twelve at the time. It was a cargo plane and, a few hours later, Johnny found himself in Cairo. How did he get on board? No one knows! According to Johnny himself, it was easy: he just went into the airport, walked along some corridors and got on board the nearest plane.In spite of all this, Johnny did well at school. He enjoyed maths and languages and, perhaps not surprisingly, he was especially good at geography. "What do you want to be when you grow up?" his teachers asked him. Johnny did not take long to answer that question. "An explorer!" he answered. "But it's difficult to become an explorer in this modem age." they tried to tell him, But it was no use: Johnny knew what he wanted!Just before he left school, Johnny saw a notice in one of the daily papers. An expedition was about to go to Brazil to travel up the Amazon River. There were vacancies for three young people "willing to work hard and with a sense of adventure". Johnny applied, and, two months later, he was on his way to Brazil.56. Johnny frequently left home because_________.A. he preferred to stay homeB. he enjoyed seeing new placesC. he couldn’t d o well at schoolD. he didn’t get along well with his parents57. People around Johnny_______.A. tried to stop him from slipping awayB. kept following him to get him backC. booked tickets for him if necessaryD. were closer about how he traveled abroad58. From the passage, we can learn that _______.A. Johnny worked for a daily paperB. Johnny lacked a sense of adventureC. Johnny went exploring along the Amazon RiverD. Johnny went to Brazil months after he finished school.BEditor Henry Slocum,I read your May 10th article in the local newspaper Honesdale Times about electronic books, or e-books, with great interest. You made several good points about the disadvantage of e-books. You may have overlooked, however, some of the ways in which they are superior to traditional books. Yes, e-books are expensive, but they are also convenient. In addition, duo to their environment-friendly nature, e-books have the potential to change our planets for the better.E-books, for anyone who is unfamiliar with the term, are about the same size and shape as regular books. They have a large screen in the middle, however, this screen shows the reader a page of the text that has been downloaded from a computer. Once the reader has finished reading the page on the e-book screen, he or she scrolls down to see a new page. Theprocess continues until the entire book has been read.As you pointed out, Mr. Slocum, it’s great to lie on a warm, sandy beach with a book. You can do that just as easily with an e-book as you can with a traditional paper book. In fact, because e-books are so light, you can carry themselves. Say, for example, that you like to read on the bus. Which would you rather carry with you---a heavy 800-page novel, or an e-book that weighs only a few ounces?Another important advantage is offered by e-books as well. They are more environment-friendly than traditional books. At present, thousands of trees cut down each year to meet the publishing industry’s demand for paper. Books that don’t sell are eventually returned to the publisher and destroyed, This terrible waste could be avoided if everyone used e-books, which require no paper.Sincerely,David Eng59. What does Editor Henry Slocum think about e-books?A. InterestingB. ExpensiveC. ConvenientD. Environment-friendly60. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2?A. What an e-book isB. Why e-books are popularC. How e-books have developedD. Who are the readers of e-books61. In David’s letter, he thinks that_______A. E-books will come down in priceB. E-books come in various sizes and shapesC. E-books do little harm to the environmentD. E-books are no better than traditional books62. The main purpose of the letter is to ________A. explain how to read e-booksB. honor the person who invented e-booksC. scold publishers for wasting so much paperD. provide evidence that e-books are a good ideaCLosing weight comes with a lot of health benefits---including make your brain sharper.Yes, it turns out that overweight may damage cognitive functions such as memory and attention. There have been few studies of overweight and cognitive functioning, possibly because it is generally believed that it is not a primary risk cause for poor cognitive performance. Losing weight, therefore, may help improve these mental functions, according to a new research led by John Gunstad, assistant professor of psychology at Kent State University.Growing evidence suggests that being fat is linked to cognitive deficits(缺陷). So Gunstad and his team guessed that losing weight might improve mental function. For their study, they measured memory and attention in a group of 150 overweight participants, some of whom had some king of operation for weight loss and some did not. All of the volunteers completed mental skills tests to access their abilities if memory and attention at the beginning of the study, and again 12 weeks later. To begin with, about 24%of the patients showed damaged learning and 23%showed signs of poor memory when tested. At the end of the study, those who had lost weight after operation improved their scores into the average or above average for cognitive functions. Scores for the volun teer who didn’t lose weight dropped even further.The study helped, Gunstad to find out whether losing weight had any effect on mental function. Now that he’s been the positive effect that weight loss can have one memory and attention, he says he will next study those who choose to lose weight by the traditional way—eating healthier and getting more active. He expects that losing weight in this way will have a similarly positive effect on the brain. “If we can improve the condition with operation, then we can probably produce the same change with behavioral weight loss as well.” He says.63. There is less research on overweight and cognitive functions because researchers________.A. believe overweight only affects our bodyB. have focused on ways to sharpen people’s mindC. do not consider overweight a main cause for low cognitive abilityD. are clear about the relation between weight and mental functions64. The result of Gunstad’s study shows that_______A. losing weight has little effect on people’s memor yB. Losing weight can improve people’s mental functionsC. overweight people are likely to have psychology problemD. overweight people’s abilities of concentration differ greatly65. What is Gunstad planning to prove next in his research?A. Slim people are smarter than overweight peopleB. Healthy diet is better than exercise in losing weightC. Traditional ways of losing weight are better than operationD. Overweight people will get smarter by taking more exercise66. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Body Weight and HealthB. Losing Weight by OperationC. Ways to Improve Mental FunctionsD. Losing Weight to Sharpen Your MindDSeeing in StereoHave you wondered why you have two eyes and why they are set close together on the front of your face? The reasons are simple and important to the way you see the rest of your world.Your eyes are like two small cameras. A camera catches an image of an object and records it on film. Similarly, when you look at something, each eye takes in what it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball. Because your eyes are set close together, they view the world from about the same height but from slightly different angles. Working as a team, they eyes send the images to your brain, which puts them together into a single, centered image.Seeing in stereo means seeing with two eyes working together, which is called stereoscopic sight. This allows you to view the world in three dimensions, or 3-D. Seeing depth helps you to judge the distance between you and the objects you see and to adjust to the changing angle at which you see something as you move closer to or farther away from it. If images are coming from only one eye, however, only two of these dimensions—height and width---can be perceived. A world seen with one eye is thus two-dimensional, as in a photograph.Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your face. Think of other animals with the same arrangement. They are all animal that hunt, like lions and wolves. Their eyes face directly in front of them. This provided a field of sight about 180 degree wide, which is called binocular sight. On the other hand, animals that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head, which provides nearly 360-degree field of sight. In order to stay alive, they need to see things coming from the sides and from behind. However, without stereoscopic sight, they have difficulty determining how far a danger is.With sight both stereoscopic and binocular, human share with animal hunters the ability to see from side to side and to accurately determine the distance. If you think it would be great to have another type of sight, perhaps with hundreds of tiny eyes like many insects do, think again! Each tiny insect eye sees only a tiny part. Besides, what if you needed glasses? Be glad for the eyesight that you have.67. According to the passage, an eye is like a camera because both_______A. can record imagesB. can imagine objectsC. provide centered imagesD. work at the same height68. Stereoscopic sight is a result of having_________.A. a three-hundred-sixty-degree field of sightB. hundreds of eyes, all seeing parts of an imageC. two eyes close to one another that work togetherD. one eye on either side of the head, each seeing a different image69. The underlined word “perceived” in paragraph 3means________.A. setB. takenC. seenD. understood70. The author implies that “seeing in stereo”________.A. is similar to the way camera workB. is an ability humans are fortunate to haveC. would be better for a wider field of sightD. helps people to have better sight than animals第二节Puppy FoodA puppy (young dog) is a precious addition to any family. The excitement of bringing home a little furry friend will always live in our memories. Like all of us, though, your puppy must have adequate nutrition right from the start to make certain that it’ll have a long and healthy life.____71____You might ask yourself what is the best for your new pet with all of the different varieties on the market in all of their attractive packaging. Some dry food produced especially for puppies is the best for the development of their teeth. _____72_____Contrary to the belief of many first time puppy owners, it is not always the best idea to purchase food that is too high in calcium, protein, and vitamin levels. _____73_____In addition, a high intake of calcium is associated with bone disease in large-breed dogs. If you have a small-breed puppy, you can buy that kind of food.It is not a good idea to feed the food you eat to your puppy frequently, as your puppy may become selective about food. ___74____Some people think that dog biscuits and other treats are fine, but they should not be a main part of puppy’s diet.Young puppies should be fed three times a day. Each puppy is unique, however, so feeding them twice a day is acceptable. After ten to twelve weeks of age, feed your puppy twice per day. Allow your puppy to cat as much as he would like in fifteen minutes. ____75____If you let your puppy eat too much or too often by keeping food accessible at all time, he may become overweight and have health problem as an adult. Like humans, your puppy will not enjoy the food any longer if it is there at all times.A.Pick up the dish with the remaining foodB.Proper food id a basic necessity for your puppiesC.Remember to give your puppy the food he would like to haveD.It can also cause an upset stomach due to an unbalanced dietE. A further benefit is that it is less expensive than the canned foodF.One example is that extra helpings of nutrients do harm to digestive organsG.It’s good to provide the extra nutrients a puppy needs until he grows larger.第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节你的英国朋友Tim打算暑假来北京学习汉语，来信向你咨询你校国际版的汉语课程。

I love running.” I replied.“Wel l, that's good,” the coach said, “ 36 starts tomorrow after school.”I was a little nervous about running with mostly older students, but I decided to face my fear. “Welcome to the first day of practice.” the coach ordered everyone to the bottom of a sand hill. “Okay.”, he said, “This is the 37 practice we'll do all season. You are going to run up and down the sand hill ten times as fast as you can. If you can't 38 it, move to the side.” We all linedup, legs ready.“Go! ”the coach shouted, and 39 we went.I considered myself a bit small but strong. Running up that hill, however, was harder than I had imagined it would be. The sand kept falling down under my feet and it was hard to keep balance(平衡) . I tried 40 my feet in deeper, but people kept passing me shouting “Look out!”and “Move off to the side!”“Don't cry,” I told myself as tears filled my eyes. I had to step aside.

Several older students ran by me as we started up the hill. I still fell in the sand, and I still wanted to leave every step of the way; but I kept 45 slowly and progressively.

They had been swimming, gone to the movies, played video games, and even built a castle out of some old cardboard boxes. But today they were so bored. “At least we would have something to do.” Tom thought for a while and suggested, “Let’s make some popcorn and lemonade and sell it outside.”The boys went to the kitchen and asked Tom’s mom if she w ould help them make some lemonade while they popped the popcorn. Tom’s mom got the lemons from the refrigerator and also a small amount of sugar. She mixed up the lemonade while the boys started popping the popcorn.Tom and Rob got a small table from the garage and set it up near the sidewalk. They made a red sign telling everyone that popcorn and lemonade was for sale. The boys sat for about ten minutes before they got their first sale. Mrs. Jenkins, one of their neighbors, was walking her dog. “It’s so hot today.” “I sure can use a drink,” she said. Soon the boys were busy handing out popcorn to Mr. Baker. He was walking down the street sending the mail. “I need a break,” he said. “Walking all over the neighborhood gave me an appetite.”The boys ha d only three popcorn bags left and enough lemonade for three more cups. ““Wow, I didn’t think the popcorn and lemonade would sell that fast. We made six dollars,” said Tom. “If we get bored again before school starts, we can try selling more lemonade with cookies(饼干）next time,” laughed Rob.50. What did Tom suggest?A.

Where will they go when they are thrown out? What kinds of waste will they create, and how will it affect the environmentMost of our crash goes to places called landfills. A LANDFILL is a low area of land that is filled with garbage (垃圾）.Most modern landfills are lined with a cover of plastic to keep dangerous liquids (液体）from polluting earth and ground water supply. The problem is that more than half of the states in this country are running out of places to landfill their garbage. Because of the unhealthy materials, landfills do not make good neighbors，and people don’t want to live near them. Many landfills are set in poor neighborhoods.The Fresh Kills landfill on Staten Island, New York, was the largest garbage landfill in the world. For years, people who live nearby complained about air and water pollution caused by the enormous pile of trash. They say that the smoke have made people sick. The landfill closed in April 2001.Now can a harmful waste—material that can pollute air, land, and water -be disposed of in a safe way.Another way to get rid of trash is to burn it. Trash is burned in an incinerator.— Because incinerators in operation can get rid of almost all of the trash, some communities would rather use incinerators than landfills. There is a problem, though. Leftover ash and smoke from burning trash may have dangerous chemicals, and even make it hard for some people to breathe. They can harm plants, animals, and people.You can help reduce (减少）waste by reusing bottles, batteries, and paper. You can also recycle newspaper, glass, and plastics t to provide materials for making other products.From recycled materials, many things are made. For example, from recycled paper we canget newspapers, boxes and so on. From recycled plastic we can get soda bottles, tables, and backpacks.53. Why don’t landfills make good neighbors?A. Because there are unhealthy materials in them.B. Because people prefer to live in the city center.C. Because landfills are not big enough for trash.D. Because most states are running out of places.54. What does the underlined word “incinerator”probably mean?A. An area to collect trash.B. A machine to burn trashC. A method that is used to burn trash.D.A station that is run by selling trash.55. What is probably the best title for the passage?A. How Is Trash Burned?B. What Can Be Reused.C. Why Is Waste Dangerous?D. Where Does Garbage Go?DNearly all kids have had the same experience. They are eating in a restaurant with their parents. They finished the spaghetti minutes ago. Now, they are bored. Their little brother iskicking them under the table. He is also complaining about the desserts(餐后甜点) . Yet their parents are still eating and talking…and talking…and talking.“Be patient.” One parent says. “We’ll have dessert soon.”All kids know what happens next. After dessert, their parents drink coffee. Then they talk some more. Again, the children must wait. They have been in school all day and would rather be running and playing. Instead, they must sit in a chair and stare at a wall.Going to a restaurant doesn’t have to be this way. Many restaurants say they are “family-friendly”. Family restaurants, such as fast-food restaurants should play areas for children. At these restaurants, almost every play area is a big room full of climbing equipment. The room is usually, packed with happy kids. Parents can eat while the children play. Everyone is happy.The real problem begins when families want to eat a fancier meal(大餐) . The parents don’t want to hurry through the meal but talk to each other. They do not have bored childrenpestering(烦扰) them about leaving. That’s no fun for kids either. For them, going to a nicer restaurant means just one thing: sit still and be quiet.On family blogs across the Web, dozens of parents post the same question all the time; are there any nicer restaurants with play areas for kids? Research shows that some nicer restaurants do have play areas. In warmer cities, it is easier for restaurants to build play areas outside. For example, at one restaurant kids can sail tiny little motor boats in a small, shallow pond. Parents can sit on a beautiful yard and watch the kids play. Some nicer restaurants even have indoor play areas. Research also shows that these restaurants serve more than just burgers, chickens and fries. So, it’s possible for a r estaurant to provide both food and a place where kids can play. These restaurants seem to be popular, too. For some, families must have reservation days in advance. For others, families might be forced to wait in long lines. Clearly, quality food and safe play areas are both good for business.56. Why do children get unhappy at the restaurant?A. Because they can’t join in their parents’ talk.B. Because the dessert isn’t served in time.C. Because they can do nothing but wait.D. Because the food there isn’t delicious.57. What is the real problem mentioned in the passage?A. Children don’t like eating fancier food.B. Not many nicer restaurants provide play areas.C. Parents don’t trouble to comfort their bored kids.D. People have to wait for seats in nicer restaurants.58. What conclusion can we draw from the research?A. It’s common for nicer restaurants to provide good food and play areas.B. Building play areas is more difficult for restaurants in colder cities.C. Serving more kinds of foods may help restaurants to make more money.D. It’s possible for restaurants to find a balance to make both happy.59. What does the writer mainly want to tell us?A. Cities need to help develop restaurant business.B. Children are supposed to be much more patient.C. Restaurants are supposed to give kids some space.D. Parents need to care more about their kids when eating.七. 、阅读短文，还原句子。

I was aimlessly wandering down the street, heading into a most gloriously beautiful sunset. I had an urge to speak to someone on the street to share that beauty, but it seemed everyone was in hurry.I took the next-best action. Quickly I ducked into a department store and asked the lady behind the counter if she could come outside for just a minute. She looked at me as though I were from some other planet. She hesitated, and then seemingly against her better judgment, she moved toward the door.When she got outside I said to her, "Just look at that sunset! Nobody out here was looking at it and I just had to share it with someone."For a few seconds we just looked. Then I said, "God is in his heaven and all is right with the world". I thanked her for coming out to see it; she went back inside and I left. It felt good to share the beauty.Four years later my situation changed greatly. I came to the end of a twenty-year marriage. I was alone and on my own for the first time in my life. I lived in a trailer park which, at the time, I considered a real come-down, and I had to do my wash in the community laundry room.One day, while my clothes were going around, I picked up a magazine and read an article about a woman who had been in similar circumstances. She had come to the end of a marriage, moved to a strange community, and the only job she could find was one she disliked: clothing sales in a department store.Then something that happened to her changed everything. She said a woman came into her department store and asked her to step outside to look at a sunset. The stranger had said, "God is in his heaven and all is right with the world". And she had realized the truth in that statement. From that moment on, she turned her life around.(1) The author asked the woman to go outside to.A. admire the sunsetB. cheer her upC. offer some helpD. have a chat(2) Four years later, the author.A. found her dream jobB. put an end to her marriageC. worked in a laundry roomD. lived in the same community(3) After reading the article in the magazine, the author was probably.A. disappointedB. puzzledC. inspiredD. overjoy18、【来源】 2014年北京海淀区高三一模（B篇）第18题2016~2017学年北京海淀区中国人民大学附属中学高一下学期期中第60~63题8分There is a lot of talk these days about how kids should be interested in science. Here's an area of science for everyone, and these cool new books might inspire you to discover your inner scientist.Scaly Spotted Feathered Frilled by Catherine Thimmesh, 58 pages, ages 9-12Seeing a picture or a model of a dinosaur, do you wonder how anybody knows what they look like? After all, nobody has seen a living dinosaur. This book explains how scientists and artists work together to create dinosaurs. As scientific discoveries have been made, the models have changed. Scientific tests may one day expose what a dinosaur's coloring was, but for now artists have to use their imagination to determine how these huge creatures looked.Beyond the Solar System by Maey Kay Carson, 128 pages, ages 10-13This book takes readers back to the beginning of space exploration—thousands of years ago, when people began star observation—and forward to today's search for planets in distant parts of the Milky Way. Along with history lessons, readers get 21 activities, such as making a back hole and creating a model of Albert Einstein's universe using a T-shirt. The activities are perfect for cold winter days.Ultimate Bugopedia by Darlyne Murawshi and Nancy Honovich, 272 pages, age 7 and older If you're always on the look out for butterflies, this book is for you. Hundreds of color photos of common and unusual insects fill this hard cover. There are fascinating stories related to the photos. For example, do you know an insect feeds on the tears of Asian cattle? There's a question-and-answer section with an insect scientist and advice on how to help preserve endangered insects.Journey into the Invisible by Christine Schlitt, 80 pages, ages 9-12If you use a magnifying（放大的）glass, you know a leaf looks quite different. This book explains what microscopes do and then shows what happens to the thing around the house when watched with this amazing scientific tool. The bacteria in your mouth, when magnified 20, 000 times, look a bit like swimming pool noodles. Fascinating photos are painted with suggestions about how to learn about the world around you, just by looking a little closer.(1) Kids interested in pre-historical animals might read.A. Ultimate BugopediaB. Beyond the Solar SystemC. Journey into the InvisibleD. Scaly Spotted Feathered Frilled(2) Beyond the Solar System is mainly about.A. space explorationB. the Milky WayC. history lessonsD. Albert Einstein's universe(3) Form the passage, we can learn that.A. butterflies are fond of the tears of Asian cattleB. scientist have discovered the dinosaur's coloringC. microscopes can present you with an amazing worldD. man has explored the black hole for thousands of years(4) The main purpose of the passage is to.A. compare features of different booksB. inspire people to become scientistC. teach children some knowledge of scienceD. recommend new science books to children19、【来源】 2014年北京海淀区高三一模（C篇）第19题2016~2017学年9月广东深圳福田区深圳市高级中学高中部高三上学期月考第8~11题8分2019~2020学年河北石家庄新华区石家庄市第二中学高二上学期期中A卷理科（D篇）第32~35题8分(每题2分)2018~2019学年北京西城区北京市第八中学高三上学期期中（C篇）第28~31题8分2020年北京北京市第八中学高三零模第7题Everywhere 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 and similar devices. One study found that people had a harder time resisting the TAL#NBSP 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 toa 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 proclaiming 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.(1) The underlined word "allure" in Paragraph 2 probably means.A. advantageB. attractionC. adaptionD. attempt(2) 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 diseases(3) 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 technology(4) What's the author's attitude towards the overusing of high-tech devices?A. Neutral.B. Sceptical.C. Disapproving.D. Sympathetic.20、【来源】 2014年北京海淀区高三一模（D篇）第20题2020~2021学年北京海淀区北京市八一学校高二上学期期中第55~58题6分(每题1.5分)2020~2021学年北京海淀区首都师范大学附属中学高二上学期期中（C篇）第48~51题8分(每题2分)2020年北京北京市第八中学高三零模第8题2017~2018学年北京朝阳区北京市第八十中学高二下学期期中第67~70题8分Did you see American figure skater, Jeremy Abbott, crash to the ice during the short program at the Sochi Olympics, rolling into the wall, clutching his side in pain.Ten seconds later, he got up and continued his skate—despite thepain, embarrassment and fear. All I could think was: this kid's got courage. In business we have a word for it—resilience, the ability to gain strengths and confidence from overcoming unpleasant events.However, opposite examples appeared in Sochi Olympics as well. For them, failure is someone else's fault, because they do not accept personal responsibility. Therefore, they have to pay a high price for this attitude. After years of studying failure, I have learned one thing: modesty and open-mindedness in the face of mistakes is the single best thing you can do to improve results. Everyone fails, but not everyone recovers from failure. The key is to learn from it rather than get beaten by it.The good news is that each of us has the potential to live a resilient life on and off the job. It may be difficult, but that just makes it all the more powerful and important. If you believe the above paragraph to be true, then you're probably more resilient than you think you are. It takes confidence to be resilient but that too much confidence is a killer is so true of leadership. For example, Ron Johnson, the ill-fated CEO of JC Penney, was so stubborn that he completely missed all sorts of signals from employees and customers and instead listened to all those who agreed with him, which failed his strategy. Bouncing back from failure requires that you recognize something has gone wrong, and you were the one who made it happen.The challenge of resilience is not just about our work. When parents help their kids deal with every challenging situation, they are doing an unhelpful action to their children. Parents want to protect their kidsfrom failure, but doing so takes away the opportunity from them to practice not just a life skill but an essential work skill. When self-esteem becomes more important than results, we are accidently training young people to become less adaptable, not more.Resilience is not just about getting up off the floor, but also being ready for whatever comes next, even when you don't know what it is. Failures and setbacks are no longer unusual events, but regular features of a dynamic, competitive and highly demanding work environment. Getting up to finish your skate is no longer optional.(1) The example of Jeremy Abbott shows that one should.A. recover from failureB. stick to his own viewpointC. take others' opinions to heartD. challenge difficulties bravely(2) According to the author, what can best build up resilience?A. Being positive and powerful.B. Being competitive and helpful.C. Being modest and open-minded.D. Being confident and responsible.(3) Which of the following examples shows us resilience?A. A teacher offers students timely help and care.B. A determined athlete practices skating hard every day.C. A confident leader persuades his staff to follow his plan.D. A student has got a low grade but continues to work hard.(4) Which might be the best title for the passage?A. An Example of Resilience: Ron JohnsonB. Resilience: A Lesson from SochiC. Optional Challenges of ResilienceD.

And clearly we don't have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding was equal to them before we started. Otherwise, we would have felt the shock of puzzlement.The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completely understand. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can increase the reader's understanding.3Otherwise one person could never learn from another. Here "learning" means understanding more, not remembering more information.What are the conditions in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality inunderstanding.4Besides, his book must convey something he possesses and his potential readers lack. Second, the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree. And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer. If the equality is approached, success of communication is achieved.5It is the least demanding and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. In fact, any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well.A. The writer should have a better communicating skill.B. Such communication between unequals must be possible.C. We can get access to the content of those materials easily.D. The writer must be "superior" to the reader in understanding.E. Thus, we can employ the word "reading" in two distinct senses.F. Reading for entertainment is capable of increasing our understanding for information.G. Besides gaining information and understanding, there's another goal of reading—entertainment.五、书面表达22、【来源】 2014年北京海淀区高三一模第22题2015~2016学年北京西城区北京教育学院附属中学高一上学期期中第23题你们班同学打算周六去爬香山。

Johnny wandered out, crossed some fields, and two hours later, and arrived in the next village. He was just able to give his name and address.By the time he was seven, Johnny used to vanish from home two to three times a year. Sometimes he covered quite long distances on foot. On other occasions he got on a bus or even a train, and simply sat there until someone asked for his ticket. Generally the police brought him home. "Why do you do it?" they used to ask. "You aren't unhappy at home, are you? .... ““Of course not," Johnny replied.” Then why?" "I just like seeing places," Johnny told them.Johnny continued to "see places" although everyone tried to stop him. His parents used to watch him closely, and so did his teachers; but sooner or later Johnny managed to slip away. As he grew older, his favorite trick was to hide on a long distance truck. Sometimes he used to travel hundreds of miles before anyone discovered him.It is hardly surprising that eventually Johnny managed to get on board a plane. He was twelve at the time. It was a cargo plane and, a few hours later, Johnny found himself in Cairo. How did he get on board? No one knows! According to Johnny himself, it was easy: he just went into the airport, walked along some corridors and got on board the nearest plane.In spite of all this, Johnny did well at school. He enjoyed maths and languages and, perhaps not surprisingly, he was especially good at geography. "What do you want to be when you grow up?" his teachers asked him. Johnny did not take long to answer that question. "An explorer!" he answered. "But it's difficult to become an explorer in this modem age." they tried to tell him, But it was no use: Johnny knew what he wanted!Just before he left school, Johnny saw a notice in one of the daily papers. An expedition was about to go to Brazil to travel up the Amazon River. There were vacancies for three young people "willing to work hard and with a sense of adventure". Johnny applied, and, two months later, he was on his way to Brazil.56. Johnny frequently left home because_________.A. he preferred to stay homeB. he enjoyed seeing new placesC. he couldn’t do well at schoolD. he didn’t get along well with his parents57. People around Johnny_______.A. tried to stop him from slipping awayB. kept following him to get him backC. booked tickets for him if necessaryD. were closer about how he traveled abroad58. From the passage, we can learn that _______.A. Johnny worked for a daily paperB. Johnny lacked a sense of adventureC. Johnny went exploring along the Amazon RiverD. Johnny went to Brazil months after he finished school.BEditor Henry Slocum,I read your May 10th article in the local newspaper Honesdale Times about electronic books, or e-books, with great interest. You made several good points about the disadvantage of e-books. You may have overlooked, however, some of the ways in which they are superior to traditional books. Yes, e-books are expensive, but they are also convenient. In addition, duo to their environment-friendly nature, e-books have the potential to change our planets for the better.E-books, for anyone who is unfamiliar with the term, are about the same size and shape as regular books. They have a large screen in the middle, however, this screen shows the reader a page of the text that has been downloaded from a computer. Once the reader has finished reading the page on the e-book screen, he or she scrolls down to see a new page. The process continues until the entire book has been read.As you pointed out, Mr. Slocum, it’s great to lie on a warm, sandy beach with a book. You can do that just as easily with an e-book as you can with a traditional paper book. In fact, because e-books are so light, you can carry themselves. Say, for example, that you like to read on the bus. Which would you rather carry with you---a heavy 800-page novel, or an e-book that weighs only a few ounces?Another important advantage is offered by e-books as well. They are more environment-friendly than traditional books. At present, thousands of trees cut down each year to meet the publishing industry’s demand for paper. Books that don’t sell are eventually returned to the publisher and destroyed, This terrible waste could be avoided if everyone used e-books, which require no paper.Sincerely,David Eng59. What does Editor Henry Slocum think about e-books?A. InterestingB. ExpensiveC. ConvenientD. Environment-friendly60. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2?A. What an e-book isB. Why e-books are popularC. How e-books have developedD. Who are the readers of e-books61. In David’s letter, he thinks that_______A. E-books will come down in priceB. E-books come in various sizes and shapesC. E-books do little harm to the environmentD. E-books are no better than traditional books62. The main purpose of the letter is to ________A. explain how to read e-booksB. honor the person who invented e-booksC. scold publishers for wasting so much paperD. provide evidence that e-books are a good ideaCLosing weight comes with a lot of health benefits---including make your brain sharper.Yes, it turns out that overweight may damage cognitive functions such as memory and attention. There have been few studies of overweight and cognitive functioning, possibly because it is generally believed that it is not a primary risk cause for poor cognitive performance. Losing weight, therefore, may help improve these mental functions, according to a new research led by John Gunstad, assistant professor of psychology at Kent State University.Growing evidence suggests that being fat is linked to cognitive deficits(缺陷). So Gunstad and his team guessed that losing weight might improve mental function. For their study, they measured memory and attention in a group of 150 overweight participants, some of whom had some king of operation for weight loss and some did not. All of the volunteers completed mental skills tests to access their abilities if memory and attention at the beginning of the study, and again 12 weeks later. To begin with, about 24%of the patients showed damaged learning and 23%showed signs of poor memory when tested. At the end of the study, those who had lost weight after operation improved their scores into the average or above average for cognitive functions. Scores for the volunteer who didn’t lose weight dropped even further.The study helped, Gunstad to find out whet her losing weight had any effect on mental function. Now that he’s been the positive effect that weight loss can have one memory and attention, he says he will next study those who choose to lose weight by the traditional way—eating healthier and getting more active. He expects that losing weight in this way will have a similarly positive effect on the brain. “If we can improve the condition with operation, then we can probably produce the same change with behavioral weight loss as well.” He says.63. There is less research on overweight and cognitive functions because researchers________.A. believe overweight only affects our bodyB. have focused on ways to sharpen people’s mindC. do not consider overweight a main cause for low cognitive abilityD. are clear about the relation between weight and mental functions64. The result of Gunstad’s study shows that_______A. losing weight has little effect on people’s memoryB. Losing weight can improve people’s mental functionsC. overweight people are likely to have psychology problemD. overweight people’s abilities of concentration differ greatly65. What is Gunstad planning to prove next in his research?A. Slim people are smarter than overweight peopleB. Healthy diet is better than exercise in losing weightC. Traditional ways of losing weight are better than operationD. Overweight people will get smarter by taking more exercise66. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Body Weight and HealthB. Losing Weight by OperationC. Ways to Improve Mental FunctionsD. Losing Weight to Sharpen Your MindDSeeing in StereoHave you wondered why you have two eyes and why they are set close together on the front of your face? The reasons are simple and important to the way you see the rest of your world.Your eyes are like two small cameras. A camera catches an image of an object and records it on film. Similarly, when you look at something, each eye takes in what it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball. Because your eyes are set close together, they view the world from about the same height but from slightly different angles. Working as a team, they eyes send the images to your brain, which puts them together into a single, centered image.Seeing in stereo means seeing with two eyes working together, which is called stereoscopic sight. This allows you to view the world in three dimensions, or 3-D. Seeing depth helps you to judge the distance between you and the objects you see and to adjust to the changing angle at which you see something as you move closer to or farther away from it. If images are coming from only one eye, however, only two of these dimensions—height and width---can be perceived. A world seen with one eye is thus two-dimensional, as in a photograph.Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your face. Think of other animals with the same arrangement. They are all animal that hunt, like lions and wolves. Their eyes face directly in front of them. This provided a field of sight about 180 degree wide, which is called binocular sight. On the other hand, animals that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head, which provides nearly 360-degree field of sight. In order to stay alive, they need to see things coming from the sides and from behind. However, without stereoscopic sight, they have difficulty determining how far a danger is.With sight both stereoscopic and binocular, human share with animal hunters the ability to see from side to side and to accurately determine the distance. If you think it would be great to have another type of sight, perhaps with hundreds of tiny eyes like many insects do, think again! Each tiny insect eye sees only a tiny part.

2014年海淀区中考一模英语试卷逐题深度分析四、单项填空（共13分，每小题1分）22. 解析 B。

此题考查的是人称代词的宾格。

句意为："林女士在发卷子。

让我们去帮帮她。

"此题可根据句意解答。

女士是"她"，人称代词she的宾格her。

23. 解析 D。

此题考查介词。

根据题干和选项可知，此题考察的是地点介词。

空格后是说在"学校门口"属于小地点，所以介词用at。

24. 解析 B。

此题考查不定代词。

从题干知道，考查的是"There is something wrongwith…"表示"…出了一些问题"。

所以要选B。

25. 解析 A。

此题考查非谓语。

非谓语中的不定式，当动词为使役动词时，要省略to。

即"make sb do sth."，所以选择动词原形feel。

26. 解析 B。

此题考查一般现在时态。

句意为："Tina很外向，她在班里有很多好朋友。

"根据后句中的动词has可以判断为一般现在时的单三形式，所以前句选is。

27. 解析 A。

此题考察情态动词。

根据问句："你好，我可以和Lily聊聊吗？"答句："请等一下"。

可知是电话用语。

选择may表示 "可以…吗"。

28. 解析 D。

此题考查现在进行时态。

句意为："小声点，你小弟弟正在卧室睡觉。

"根据now还有Be quite，动词要用现在进行时。

29. 解析 B。

此题考查形容词比较级。

出现了蓝、黄两种颜色，两者用比较。

good的比较级是better。

所以选B。

30. 解析 C。

此题考查转折连词。

根据句意："你这周末想跟我一块出去玩吗？"答："我想去，但是我有很多事要做"。

要使用转折连词but。

31. 解析 A。

A. depression B. sadness C. pain D. stressASharing BeautyIt was in October. I was aimlessly wandering down the street, heading into a most gloriously beautiful sunset. I had an urge to speak to someone on the street to share that beauty, but it seemed everyone was in a hurry.I took the next-best action. Quickly I ducked into a department store and asked the lady behind the counter if she could come outside for just a minute. She looked at me as though I were from some other planet. She hesitated, and then seemingly against her better judgment, she moved toward the door.When she got outside I said to her, “Just look at that sunset! Nobody out here was looking at it and I just had to share it with someone.”For a few seconds we just looked. Then I said, “God is in his heaven and all is right with the world.” I thanked her for coming out to see it; she went back inside and I left. It felt good to share the beauty.Four years later my situation changed greatly. I came to the end of a twenty-year marriage. I was alone and on my own for the first time in my life. I lived in a trailer park which, at the time, I considered a real come-down, and I had to do my wash in the community laundry room.One day, while my clothes were going around, I picked up a magazine and read an article about a woman who had been in similar circumstances. She had come to the end of a marriage, moved to a strange community, and the only job she could find was one she disliked: clothing sales in a department store.Then something that happened to her changed everything. She said a woman came into her department store and asked her to step outside to look at a sunset. The stranger had said, “God is in his heaven and all is right with the world,” and she had realized the truth in that statement. From that moment on, she tu rned her life around.56. The author asked the woman to go outside to ______.A. admire the sunsetB. cheer her upC. offer some helpD. have a chat57. Four years later, the author ______.A. found her dream jobB. put an end to her marriageC. worked in a laundry roomD. lived in the same community58. After reading the article in the magazine, the author was probably______.A. disappointedB. puzzledC. inspiredD. overjoyedBThere is a lot of talk these days about how kids should be interested in science. Here‟s an area of science for everyone, and these cool new books might inspire you to discover your inner scientist.Scaly Spotted Feathered Frilled by Catherine Thimmesh, 58 pages, ages 9-12Seeing a picture or a model of a dinosaur, do you wonder how anybody knows what they look like? After all, nobody has seen a living dinosaur. This book explains how scientists and artists work together to re-create dinosaurs. As scientific discoveries have been made, the models have changed. Scientific tests may one day expose what a dinosaur‟s coloring was, but now artists have to use their imagination to determine how these huge creatures looked.Beyond the Solar System by Mary Kay Carson, 128 pages, ages 10-13This book takes readers back to the beginnings of space exploration—thousands of years ago, when people began star observation—and forward to today‟s search for planets in distant parts of the Milky Way. Along with history lessons, readers get 21 activities, such as making a black hole and creating a model of Albert Einstein‟s universe using a T-shirt. The activities are perfect for cold winter days.Ultimate Bugopedia by Darlyne Murawski and Nancy Honovich, 272 pages, ages 7 and older If you‟re always on the lookout for butterflies, this book is for you. Hundreds of color photos of common and unusual insects fill this hardcover. There are fascinating stories related to the photos. For example, do you know an insect feeds on the tears of A sian cattle? There‟s a question-and-answer section with an insect scientist and advice on how to help preserve endangered insects.Journey Into the Invisible by Christine Schlitt, 80 pages, ages 9-12If you use a magnifying（放大的）glass, you know a leaf looks quite different. This book explains what microscopes do and then shows what happens to things around the house when watched with this amazing scientific tool. The bacteria in your mouth, when magnified 20,000 times, look a bit like swimming pool noodles. Fascinating photos are paired with suggestions about how to learn about the world around you, just by looking a little closer.59. Kids interested in pre-historical animals might read ______.A. Ultimate BugopediaB. Beyond the Solar SystemC. Journey Into the InvisibleD.Scaly Spotted Feathered Frilled60. Beyond the Solar System is mainly about ______.A. space explorationB. the Milky WayC. history lessonsD. Albert Einstein‟s universe61. From the passage, we can learn that ______.A. butterflies are fond of the tears of Asian cattleB. scientists have discovered the dinosaur‟s coloringC. microscopes can present you with an amazing worldD. man has explored the black hole for thousands of years62. The main purpose of the passage is to ______.A. compare features of different booksB. inspire people to become scientistsC. teach children some knowledge of scienceD. recommend new science books to childrenCEverywhere 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 and similar 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. Consumerswillingly 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 proclaiming 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 technol ogy.63. The underlined word “allure” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. advantageB. attractionC. adaptionD. attempt64. 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 diseases65. 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 technology66. What‟s the author‟s attitude towards the overusing of high-tech devices?A. Neutral.B. Skeptical.C. Disapproving.D. Sympathetic.DDid you see American figure skater, Jeremy Abbott, crashto the ice during the short program at the Sochi Olympics,rolling into the wall, clutching his side in pain. Ten secondslater, he got up and continued his skate—despite the pain, embarrassment and fear. All I could think was: this kid‟s got courage. In business we have a word for it—resilience, the ability to gain strengths and confidence from overcoming unpleasant events.However, opposite examples appeared in Sochi Olympics as well. For them, failure is someone else‟s fault, because they do not accept personal responsibility. Therefore, they have to pay a high price for this attitude. After years of studying failure, I have learned one thing: modesty and open-mindedness in the face of mistakes is the single best thing you can do to improve results.Everyone fails, but not everyone recovers from failure. The key is to learn from it rather than get beaten by it.The good news is that each of us has the potential to live a resilient life on and off the job. It may be difficult, but that just makes it all the more powerful and important. If you believe the above paragraph to be true, then you‟re probably more resilient than you think you are. It takes confidence to be resilient but that too much confidence is a killer is so true of leadership. For example, Ron Johnson, the ill-fated CEO of JC Penney, was so stubborn that he completely missed all sorts of signals from employees and customers and instead listened to all those who agreed with him, which failed his strategy. Bouncing back from failure requires that you recognize something has gone wrong, and you were the one who made it happen.The challenge of resilience is not just about our work. When parents help their kids deal with every challenging situation, they are doing an unhelpful action to their children. Parents want to protect their kids from failure, but doing so takes away the opportunity from them to practice not just a life skill but an essential work skill. When self-esteem becomes more important than results, we are accidently training young people to become less adaptable,not more. Resilience is not just about getting up off the floor, but also being ready for whatever comes next, even when you don‟t know what it is. Failures and setbacks are no longer unusual events, but regular features of a dynamic, competitive and highly demanding work environment. Getting up to finish your skate is no longer optional.67. The example of Jeremy Abbott shows that one should ______.A. recover from failureB. stick to his own viewpointC. take others‟ opinions to heartD. challenge difficulties bravely68. According to the author, what can best build up resilience?A. Being positive and powerful.B. Being competitive and helpful.C. Being modest and open-minded.D. Being confident and responsible.69. Which of the following examples shows us resilience?A. A teacher offers students timely help and care.B. A determined athlete practices skating hard every day.C. A confident leader persuades his staff to follow his plan.D. A student has got a low grade but continues to work hard.70. Which might be the best title for the passage?A. An Example of Resilience: Ron JohnsonB. Resilience: A Lesson from SochiC. Optional Challenges of ResilienceD. Resilience in Family EducationThere is distinction between reading for information and reading for understanding. ____71_____The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, or anything else. ____72_____ Such materials may increase our store of information, but they cannot improve our understanding. And clearly we don‟t have an y difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding was equal to them before we started. Otherwise, we would have felt the shock of puzzlement.The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completely understand. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can increase the reader‟s understanding. _____73_____ Otherwise one person could never learn from another. Here “learning” m eans understanding more, not remembering more information. What are the conditions in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality in understanding. _____74_____ Besides, his book must convey something he possesses and his potential readers lack. Second, the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree. And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer. If the equality is approached, success of communication is achieved. _____75_____ It is the least demanding and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. In fact, any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well.A. The writer should have a better communicating skill.B. Such communication between un-equals must be possible.C. We can get access to the content of those materials easily.D. The writer must be “superior” to the reader in understanding.E. Thus, we can employ the word “reading” in two distinct senses.F. Reading for entertainment is capable of increasing our understanding for information.G. Besides gaining information and understanding, there‟s another goal of reading—entertainment.第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节（15分）你们班同学打算周六去爬香山。
