2019级高一英语周考（1）一、阅读理解（40分）AIf you are genuinely interested in an activity, it soon takes the form of a hobby. The more expertise you have in your hobby, the more are the chances that you can make money with it.The most appropriate examples of hobbies and interests that make money and relate to the computer world can be found in the field of computer games testing and computer hacking.If you take pleasure in playing PC games, finding the glitches or bugs(errors) in them, you are the right man. The software companies, which create and sell computer games, pay fortunes to people like you who could help them improve their products. Have you ever seriously thought that this time-consuming and unproductive hobby could be the one that will make money for you?There was a time when one could easily distinguish between the hobbies for women and men, but not any more. In today's free world, where muscle power is surpassed by mental muscles, everyone is free to follow his or her own interests. A man's interest could be others' idea of boredom and vanity. Some people like indoor activities that can be carried on within their homes. On the other hand, many people like to get involved in outdoor activities. Both the activities have a fair chance of developing into hobbies that make money.There are people who know how to make their hobbies earn some bucks for them. You may find that any hobby pursued to the perfection becomes an art. People always pay for perfection. Among the interests, hobby and money, first comes the interest, which encourages you to strive and master a hobby. If it holds true with you, now, it is time to extend yourself and make some money.1.

Expertise in Your HobbiesBNEW YORK: New York on Thursday, 13 Sept, became the first city in the United States to enforce a limited ban on super-sized soda drinks blamed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg for fuelling a national obesity crisis.The Board of Health's formal approval of the ban-proposed by Bloomberg and praised by health campaigners, but hotly opposed by soft drinks manufacturers—was not considered a surprise. The city health commissioner, Thomas Farley, called the vote "historic".However, Liz Berman, president of Continental Food and Beverage and head of the New Yorkers for Beverage Choices lobby group, described the "discriminatory ban" as a "fix"."It's sad that the board wants to limit our choices. We are smart enough to make our own decisions about what to eat and drink." she said in a statement.However, there is nothing to stop people from buying as much soda as they like by refilling smaller containers. Also, the ban does not extend to drinks sold in supermarkets or any dairy or fruit drinks, many of which also contain huge quantities of sugar.Diet and alcoholic drinks are also exempted. The measure, which could face legal challenges from the soft drinks industry, takes effect in six months.According to official statistics, some 6,000 people in New York die each year from obesity-linked problems. One in eight adult New Yorkers has diabetes, which can be worsened by sugar consumption.Boosting the mayor, the newly-built basketball stadium for the Brooklyn Nets announced it will immediately adopt the rules, well ahead of the March 12 deadline.The measure generated a stormy debate, including 38,000 comments written to the Board of Health. Polls showed a majority of people opposed the ban.6. Why does New York enforce the limited ban on super-sized soda drinks?A. Because it is believed that soda drinks are of harm to health.B. Because it is believed that soda drinks cause the nation overweight.C. Because too many people don't like drinking soda drinks.D. Because super-sized soda drinks block the sugar consumption.7. What's the attitude of the consumers towards the limited ban?A. Supportive.B. Opposed.C. Neutral.D. Not mentioned.8. What can we infer from the passage about Liz Berman?A. She is in charge of the production of soda drinks all over the country.B. She is very angry that the city government limits what to eat and drink.C. She takes the limited ban on super-sized soda drinks as an unfair one.D. She is smart enough to know what she eats or drinks.9. The underlined word "exempted" means ________ in the 7th paragraph.A. relievedB. unfairC. upsetD. limited10. When will the limited ban be carried out according to the passage?A. This September.B. This November.C. The coming January.D. The coming March.CThe old saying "You're only as old as you feel" has new life, backed up by a new study.Researchers found older people with positive views on aging were 44% more likely to recover fully after severe disability than those with negative views on aging. People with positive attitudes about aging also had a slower decline in their ability to do daily tasks such as dressing and bathing.Until now, experts say, most of the research on attitudes about aging and health has looked at the health risks and losses linked to a negative views. But this study suggests there may be actual health benefits to having a more positive view about aging.In the study, researchers periodically surveyed 598 people aged 70 or older about their views on aging over a period of about 11 years.None were disabled when the study started, but later on, all of them had at least one month when they needed help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, or walking.The older people with positive views on aging were more likely to progress from severe disability to mild disability or mild disability to no disability. And they also had a slower rate of decline in their ability to perform daily activities as they got older.Of course, many factors affect whether or to what extent a person recovers from disability. This study does not prove that a positive attitude about aging made a difference. Positive views on aging may help people recover from disability and promote independent living in a variety of ways.A person's attitudes about aging say a lot about how much they believe their health is under their own control. People with positive age attitudes may be more likely to live a healthy lifestyle, keep up on their doctor appointments, and take their medicines as ordered.Researchers say the next step is to look at how people can upgrade their attitudes about aging.11. From the passage, we can know .A. many people are afraid of aging in factB. positive views on aging are more likely to help people recoverC. we can live as long as we want if with positive viewsD. positive views can stop us from declining the ability of dressing12. What's the difference between the new study and most of the former studies?A. The ways of studying.B. The contents of studying.C. The hosts of studying.D. The attitudes of the researchers.13. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. positive attitudes determine whether a person recoversB. positive attitudes assure that people must recover from disabilityC. negative attitudes destroy people's healthD. positive attitudes can bring actual health benefits to people14. The people with positive age attitudes may .A. live an easy lifeB. visit the doctors occasionallyC. take medicines as toldD. do exercises regularly15. What will the researchers do next?A. Emphasize some of the positive views.B. Focus on the developmental loss with aging.C. Help people take their medicines as ordered.D. Believe their health is under their own control.第二节、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。

You wo n’t experience a hard time when hiking there.BEverybody has to face bad days in their life. Some face illnesses, some face fears, some face poverty, some face helplessness, etc. No one can escape from it. It is a rule of life. Two things always combines together like joy and sadness, laugh and cry, health and illness, profit and loss, morning and night, confidence and inferiority complex (自卑), victory and failure likewise good days and bad days.You know what is the biggest advantage of bad days? You come to know GOD. What is God? What he can do? He is so friendly, understanding, loving and moreover God is the Superman who can do anything in a second. Yes, true, he can do anything. He is the only light indarkness. God is so merciful that he always forgives and never complains whether you ignore him many times; that is why, according to me, God is the only best and faithful friend who never cheats.When bad days come, a person first of all cannot understand what is going on. Why me? But after sometimes he realizes his strength and starts doing every single thing to come out of it. When he comes out, that journey is thought to be very painful. However, when you get through it, you will find your journey very meaningful, and you will feel like it’s your rebirth. You have totally changed your thoughts, your opinions, and you can understand life better. You get the meaning of your life. In short, you start becoming wise.The biggest lesson of life during bad days for me is that a person becomes spiritual and a giver which he wasn’t before. Life means to create. First think what you want in your life, then start giving the same thing. This is one of the most important things I have learnt in my life. You want love and then start spreading it; you want money and then start giving to needy; you want happiness and then start doing all things which bring happiness. Everything is in your hand and you only need to give first. If don’t have everything, then give or share what you have. Still you feel you have nothing to share, and then give smile. You can’t imagine that your smile can do wonder for someone. So start smiling from today onwards.The most beautiful lesson I have learnt in my life is that if you are in pain, remember one thing: time is though to be hard but it would be the best time of your life. You know why we have to face hard days? Did you think about it? No! Ok, I will tell you. We always forget two unforgettable things. The first is God and the second is family. Nowadays, money is everything. Money is important, in fact very important but it is not the whole life, so why to spend the whole life in earning money? When will we live? You can’t do it tomorrow, what you can do now? So don’t let the day pass without enjoying it.One thing I must share with you is that if you want to grow and learn more than you know, then do whatever you want to do but beyond your comfort zone. Always try to think that I can, and then nothing is impossible for you. Difficulty is in the mind but not in work. You know one thing when we accept life as it comes or we accept that everything happens for a reason or for our betterment. Believe me, you will find your hard days as an adventure but you need to trust God and at the end you will find yourself a winner.I hope you like it. Love you all and God bless you all with healthy wealthy long life and good luck.3. According to the author, when you are in bad days, you might ask for help from .A. family membersB. friendly peopleC. a spirit like GodD. understanding men4. The author may agree to the following opinions EXCEPT that .A. bad days can destroy all peopleB. smiling can change your lifeC. bad days can help you become wiseD. bad days can change people’s thoughts and viewpoints5. Which opinion of life is in agreement with the author’s?A. Lily insists that family is more important than God.B. Mr. Smith believes that money is the most important of all.C. Mary gives up her love due to the pressure from her parents.D. Tom thinks difficulties in life can be removed once you take action6. From the last but one paragraph, we can infer that to be a winner, .A. you must think twice before taking actionB. you must believe that no difficulty actually exists at allC. you can stay in your comfort zone thinking about what you are doingD. you must believe that ups and downs in life are only to help you move forward7. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Bad Days Are Important Lessons in LifeB. Everybody Must Face Bad Days in LifeC. How To Deal With Bad Days in LifeD. There Are Ups And Downs in Life二、完形填空（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）The hospital I work in sits on a beautiful mountain. People often have to walk about 40 kilometres in order to see a 8 .

For as long as humans have existed, there has been a need to keep in touch, to send information between people in different places. Before writing was invented, spoken messages were carried from one person to another and it was not easy to send longer messages. Writing changed thesituation, but it was still difficult to make sure that your message got to the right place.The Romans created an organized system of mail delivery, called Cursus Publicus. This was used by the Emperor and officials to send information throughout the Empire(帝国) Staging posts and a relay system with horses and carriages meant that messages could move quickly, by using many riders instead of one. However, the Romans were not (as many people think) the first to realize this. In 2000 BC the Egyptians used a similar system to keep people informed about the laws in the country. The Chinese and Persian empires also used systems of horses and riders more than 500 yeah before the Romans.After the Roman postal service disappeared, other systems were created in Europe, but never again as large as the Roman's. Rulers of countries or regions and even churches created their own official mail network. It was also very important to business between countries that good communication existed. International traders set up many unofficial postal links. There was one such link between Venice and Constantinople in the 14th century.Until the mid-1600s in Europe, only official messages could be carried by the state networks; everyone else had to be less secure, unofficial networks. However. as more roads were built. unofficial networks became safer, more reliable and very profitable. Realizing they could make money, governments in most countries took control of their own public postal system, making the unofficial networks illegal.A number of countries claim to have invented the idea of stamps-placing a piece of paper on the letter showing that the postage had been paid for. But the first widely-available stamp was the Penny Black, introduced in Britain by a man called Rowland Hill in 1840. It was a black stamp with a white picture of the Queen's head on it. Hill changed the idea of payment from distance to weight. The year before its introduction, about 75 million letters had been posted in Britain, yet only 10 years later over 340 million letters were sent using stamp. It was a very important invention and completely changed the postal system. To buy a first-edition of this stamp today can cost over £1000.Until the 1870s it was still very expensive to send mail to other countries. The Universal Postal Union was created in 1874 to make sure that "all people in the world have affordable and reliable access to postal services". It cannot tell countries how much to charge. but it helps countries work together and set reasonable international mail prices.With the creation of airmail, it's now cheap and quick to send letters to most parts of the world. Unfortunately, the growth of new technology (the Internet, emails, fax machines) means that traditional postal services are becoming less popular. Many people now call traditional post "snail mail", because it does not have the speed of an email or a text message. Remember, though it has been here for over 2000 years, and is still a way of delivering a personal message.11. Sending longer messages became easier because of .A. the invention of paperB. the invention of writingC. the invention of languageD. the need of communicating12. According to the passage. Cursus Publicus .A. was the largest mail network in EuropeB. was the first mail network in human historyC. provided postal service for everyone in RomeD. was 500 year earlier than the similar system in Egypt13. The postal link between Venice and Constantinople was built to .A. help official managementB. promote international tradeC. compete against official licksD. improve cultural exchanges14. It can be learned from Paragraph 5 that before 1840 .A. the stamp was very expensiveB. most people in Europe had no idea of stampsC. Britain had the best postal system in the worldD. the postage on a letter was decided by how far it traveled15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The airmail system grows rapidly.B. The postal system will become more popular.C. The speed of traditional post will be improvedD. The traditional postal services remain important in mail delivery.三、完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）I used to abandon myself to despair(自暴自弃).

From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal(信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize(强调)the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries -- like the UK or France-- people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.21. In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for peopleto_________.A. develop closer relationsB. share the same cultureC. get to know each otherD. keep each other company22. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that__________.A. the English prefer to make long speechesB. too many words are of no useC. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by natureD. even talk and silence can be culturally different23. What would be the best title for the text?A. Multicultural Environment.B. Cross-Cultural Differences.C. How to Understand Each Other.D. How to Build Up a Relationship.BWhen Marco Polo travelled to Hangzhou, China 7 hundred years ago, never had he thought he'd be creating a job of social media ambassador（大使）in the 21st century in China.On May 20, one lucky foreigner would be selected to become the modern-day Marco Polo, getting a free 15-day trip to the scenic city of Hangzhou in China, and rewarded $55,000 in the next year for working part-time to promote the city to the global audience. Five finalists from Australia, Romania, U.S, Switzerland and France were in the final race. They came from a pool of 700 applicants from around the world, carefully selected by the Hangzhou Tourism Commission on their familiarity with China, social media presence and adventurous spirit.Located about 100 miles southwest to Shanghai, Hangzhou is home to 844 million population and among China’s richest cities as measures by per-capita GDP. Traditionally, Hangzhou is known for its charming West Lake, a UNESCO world heritage site with traditional Chinese stories and tales, and the Grand Canal, which travels from Hangzhou to Beijing and was a key route of transportation in ancient China. The city’s mild climate and charming environment drew 97 million tourists last year, contributing to 6.5% of the city’s GDP.The lucky winner would start an all-expense-paid trip to Hangzhou, which, in addition to visits to tourist sites and tastings of delicious food, also would include a four-day ride along the Grand Canal and three evenings spent at a local resident’s home.“It is in fact a part-time job. How you work that out efficiently is your problem,” Liam Bates, perhaps the strongest competitor because of his fluent Chinese, said. “We will see how hard it is to meet these numbers.”24. The purpose of Hangzhou choosing a social media ambassador is to ______.A. keep Marco Polo in people’s memoriesB. attract more foreign tourists to ChinaC. encourage more foreigners to speak ChineseD. explore a new route of transportation25. From paragraph 3, we know that______.A. Hangzhou is 100 miles northwest to ShanghaiB. 8.8 million visitors came to Hangzhou in 2015C. tourism plays an important role in the GDP of HangzhouD. the Grand Canal travels from Hangzhou to Shanghai26. Liam Bates was most likely to get the job mainly due to his ______.A. travel experienceB. fluent ChineseC. adventurous spiritD. excellent videos27. Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?A. Hangzhou rewards international visitors to ChinaB. Liam Bates creates a dream job of social media ambassadorC. Dream job in China—$55,000 to the contemporary（当代的）Marco PoloD. Hangzhou, a famous city for West Lake and the Great CanalCI took my 9-year-old daughter, Suzan and 5-year-old son, Robbie to the shopping centre. As we got there, we saw a big sign that said, “Petting Zoo”. The kids jumped up and asked, “Daddy, can we go?”Both my wife and I were out of work. However, I said, “Sure”, giving them a quarter each. They went away, leaving only fifty cents left in my pocket.A petting zoo is made up of a hundred of little baby animals of all kinds. Kids pay their money and stay in the enclosure(围场), pleased with the little animals while their parents shop.A few minutes later, when I saw Suzan walking along behind me, I was surprised and asked what was wrong.She said sadly, “Well, Daddy, a ticket for Petting Zoo costs fifty cents. So I gave Robbie my quarter.”Then she said the most beautiful thing I ever heard. She repeated the family motto(座右铭), which is “Love is Action!”I knew clearly no one loves little animals more than Suzan. She had watched both my wife and me do and say "Love is Action!” for years, and now she had put it into her lifestyle. It had become part of her, because she knew the whole family motto. It’s not only “Love is Action”; it’s “Love is SACRIFICAL(牺牲的) Action!” Love always pays a price...I was moved. We went back to the Petting Zoo. Suzan stood with her hands and chin（下巴）resting on the fence and just watched Robbie go crazy petting and feedingthe animals. I had fifty cents burning a hole in my pocket. I put my hand into my pocket and took out the money. Sure, I must do that!28.What would be the best headline for this passage? _______.A. A Petting Zoo.B. Try Your Best to Help Others.C. An Attractive Shopping Centre.D. Love Is Sacrificial Action!29.The underlined part “the most beautiful thing” in Paragraph 5 refers to _______.A. the Petting ZooB. the family mottoC. their lifestyleD. the ticket for Petting Zoo30.Which of the following best describes Suzan? _______.A.

Suzan would play happily with the little animals.D. The author would play together with Suzan.DMost people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies’two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities (设备) to help save the lives of wounded soldiers. Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgrum. Her services were recognised in the form of a Military’s Medal by the French government.In 1918, Irene became her mother’s assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia (白血病） because of her work with radioactivity（辐射能）. Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.32. Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal?A. Because she received a degree in mathematics.B.

2018-2019学年高一年级上学期第三次双周考英语试题第Ⅰ卷（共70分）第一部分：听力（略）第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）ADo you have any of these bad habits? Check yourself by answering “yes” or “no” to these questions.a) Do you move your lips when reading silently?b) Do you point to words with your fingers as you read?c) Do you move your head from side to side as you read?d) Do you read one word at a time?If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, start at once to break the habits. If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then when your lips move, you will know it and stop them. If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you won’t have a free finger to use in pointing while reading. If you move your head, place your chin in one hand, and hold your head still.If you read no more than one word at a time, you need to work in learning to take in more words at each glance as your eyes travel across the lines of words. Even if you read fairly fast now, you can learn to read even faster. As you probably have been told, the secret of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words at each glance. Read in several groups and force your eyes along the lines of words as fast as you can make them go. Anyone who practices doing these two things will be able to read faster.21. What do you think of those habits talked about in the text ______.A. we should remember those habitsB. they should be got rid ofC. they are difficult to get rid ofD. they are good for our studies22. You may hold your finger over your lips while reading so as to _____.A. hold a piece of paper between your lipsB. keep yourself from talking to othersC. tell others to be silentD. feel whether your lips move or not23. When your eyes travel across the lines of words, you need to ______.A. read the words outB. look at every word carefullyC. read several words at a timeD. remember every wordBDear Students,I am honored to be your guest.I would like to tell you about myself. I have been a news reporter for the past fifteen years. I chose this job so I could travel the world, but the job has taught me many unforgettable lessons. The work is sometimes difficult. I have seen famines, wars, earthquakes, poverty and death. But I have also seen courage, hope and happiness.In India, I visited a city where there were many homeless children. Some were as young as four years old. They lived in the streets and survived by begging or stealing. But then a wonderful lady called Rosa opened a home for them. Within one year, she was looking after two hundred children. She clothed them, fed them, and taught them. She gave them hope.Another time, I was in Turkey after a terrible earthquake, in one place. I found an old lady whose house was in ruins, her son was missing and rescuer workers said there was no chance that he was still alive. But the old lady did not give up hope. For four days, she moved heavy stones one at a time by herself. She did not stop until she found her son. He was alive.Here in China, I met a young boy with a serious condition. He had undergone twenty operations and spent nearly his whole life in hospital. I thought he would be sad, but when I met him, his smile was so warm and welcoming.In life, we need role models that we can admire and learn from. When my life is difficult,I try to remember the courage and goodness of these three people.24.

Even reading about yawning can make you do it. Now, a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force.Yawning when others yawn, the study suggests, is a sign of pity and a form of social connection. Kids don’t develop this deeply rooted behavior until around age four, the study found. Kids with autism (自闭症) are less likely to catch yawns. In the most serious cases, they never do. Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly. The work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people communicate and connect."Emotional infection seems to be a born thing that connects us together," said Molly Helt, a graduate student in psychology at the University of Connecticut. "Yawning may be part of that." Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane. She repeatedly yawned at him, hoping he would yawn back. He never did.“The fact that autistic kids don’t do it might mean they’re really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them,” she said. “The biggest thing people try to figure out after birth is how we become humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others,” she added. “Autistic people never seem to understand that.”Like infectious（有感染力的）laughter and crying, scientists have found that yawning isa shared experience that promotes social connection. Helt said it could fight stress aftera period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group.32. What does the new study suggest, according to the first two paragraphs?A. Yawning is a form of communication.B. It is easy to stop yawning when you see others yawn.C. Children follow others in yawning just after they are born.D. Yawning has some mysterious force which is related to God.33. According to Molly Helt, _________.A. humans differ from animals because they communicate with othersB. yawning is a kind of emotional connection among humansC. emotions are infectious, but yawning is notD. yawning helps clear ears on planes34. Which of the following is NOT true about yawning?A. It is natural to yawn back if people around you yawn.B. Some kids are too young to yawn after others.C. Yawning can be used to test children’s development.D. Kids with autism yawn easily when others yawn.35. The author implies in the last paragraph that ________.A. yawning is different from infectious laughter and crying in theoryB. it is bad manners to yawn on some social occasionsC. the more you yawn, the happier you will beD. yawning can make people feel relaxed第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A woman drove up to the Rainbow B ridge tollbooth(收费站). “I'm paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me，” s he said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after an other, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were inform ed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read somethi ng on a friend's refrigerator: “Practise random kindness and s enseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, sh e gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful，” she said, explaining why she'd taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alic e put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, sh e didn't know where it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman li ving in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phras e down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.“Here's the idea，” Anne says. “Anything you think there shou ld be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting t he classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitche n tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “K indness_can_build_on_itself_ as_much_as_violence_can.”The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!36. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?A. She knew the car drivers well.B. She wanted to show kindness.C. She hoped to please others.D. She had seven tickets.37. Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she ____ ____.A. thought it was beautifully writtenB. wanted to know what it really meantC. decided to write it on a warehouse wallD. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom38. Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?A. Judy Foreman.B. Natalie Smith.C. Alice Johnson.D. Anne Herbert.39. Which of the following statements is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence above?A. Kindness and violence can change the world.B. Kindness and violence can affect one's behavior.C. Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves.D. Kindness and violence can shape one's character.40. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. People should practise random kindness to those in need.B. People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.C. People should practise random kindness to strangers they meet.D. People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.BEveryone looks forward to progress, whether in one's persona l life or in the general society. Progress indicates a person's a bility to change the way he is living at the moment. Progress must lead to a better life and a better way of doing things. All t hese, however, remain true only in so far as people want to a ccept technology and move forwards by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things.However, at the back of the minds of many people, especially those who miss the “good old days”， efficiency_comes_with_ a_price. When communication becomes more efficient, peopl e are able to contact one another no matter where they are an d at whatever time they wish to. The click of a button allows p eople miles apart to talk or to see each other without even lea ving their homes. With the communication gadgets,_such as mobile phones and iPads, people often do not take the effort t o visit one another personally.A personal visit carries with it th e additional feature of having to be in the person's presence for as long as the visit lasts. We cannot unnecessarily excuse ourselves or turn the other person off.With efficiency also comes mass production.Such is the natur e of factories and the success of industrialization today.Factor ies and have improved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left to m achines and products are better made and produced with gre ater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done. H owever, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the lo ss of the personal touch when making these products. For ex ample, many handicrafts(手工艺品) are now produced in a factory. Although this means that s upply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply i s quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass pro duction lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to f ind unique designs on each item.Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analysing pr ogress only from one point of view. In fact, progress has allow ed tradition to keep up. It is only with progress and the inventi on of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state. New technology is required for old prod ucts to stay old.It is people's attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society. Technology is flexible. There is no fixed way of making use of it. Everything depe nds on people's attitude. The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to rethink their attitudes and views of society. When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our ne eds, a new “past” is created.41. According to Paragraph 1, progress can benefit people wh en they are willing to ________．A. live a better lifeB. look for better methodsC. change ways of livingD. accept technology and advance steadily42. The underlined word “gadgets” is closest in meaning to “_ _______”．A. toolsB. messagesC. barriersD. skills43. The author explains “efficiency comes with a price” by ___ _____.A. describing a processB. using examplesC. following time orderD. making classification44. Compared with homemade handicrafts, machinemade pro ducts ________．A. lack great accuracyB. lack the personal touchC. are of high valueD. are quite welcome45. What can be learned about technology from Paragraph 4?A. It can destroy old traditions.B. It can lead to social progress.C. It can be used to correct mistakes.D. It can be used to preserve old products.CI found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the ti me, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl si tting next to me whispered something, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was o ut of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one , so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teache r asked me to stay in the room when all the other students we re dismissed（解散）. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me abou t what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible (负责任) for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized（强调） the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and th en she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wonderi ng why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper . I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it s eemed very very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Ev en if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by le tting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe thatI had cheated on the test。
