Over the past couple months, most of the political headlines you’ve read have probably been about the government shutdown and the launch of the Affordable Care Act(平价医疗法案). And I know that many of you have rightly never been more frustrated with Washington.But if you look beyond those headlines, there are some good things happening in our economy. And that’s been my top priority（优先考虑）since the day I walked into the Oval Office.After decades in which the middle class was working harder and harder just to keep up, and a punishing recession（衰退）that made it worse, we made the tough choices required not just to recover from crisis, but to rebuild on a new foundation for stronger, more durable economic growth.Five years later, we have fought our way back. Our businesses have created 7.8 million new jobs in the past 44 months. Another 200,000 Americans went back to work last month.The American auto industry has come back with more than 350,000 new jobs –-- jobs putting out and selling the high-tech, fuel-efficient cars the world wants to buy. And they’re leading the charge in a business that has added jobs for the first time since the 1990s –-- a big reason why our businesses sell more goods and services “Made in America” than ever before.We decided to stop our addiction to foreign oil. And today, we produce more renewable energy than ever, more natural gas than anybody, and for the first time in nearly 20 years, America now produces more oil than we buy from other countries.We decided to fix a broken health care system. And even though the task has been rough, so far, about 500,000 Americans gain health coverage starting January 1st. And by the way, health care costs are growing at the slowest rate in 50 years.And one more thing: since I took office, we’ve cut our deficits (赤字) by more than half. And that makes it easier to invest in the things that create jobs –-- education, research, and so on.Imagine how much farther along we could be if both parties were working together. Think about what we could do if the few didn’t holdthe economy hostage (人质) every few months, or waste time on dozensus fix it.In the weeks ahead, I’ll keep talking about my plan to build a better bargain for the middle class. Good jobs. A good education. A chance to buy a home, save, and retire. And yes, the financial security of affordable health care. And I’ll look for any willing partners who want to help.Because of your hard work and tough sacrifices over the past five years, we’re pointed in the right direction.But we’ve got more work to do to keep moving that way. And as long as I’m President, I’ll keep doing everything I can to create jobs, grow the economy, and make sure that everyone who works hard has a chance to get ahead. Thanks, and have a great weekend.1. Which of the following is n ot the reason for people’s frustration with the government?A. The governmentshutdown B. Unemployment rateC. The addiction to foreignoil D. Cancelling the Affordable Care Act 2. Why does the president mention more goods and services “Made in America”?A. To show that American goods and services are very popular.B. To indicate that American people should be dependent on themselves.C. To show that the employment rate has been increased.D. To show that American auto industry enjoys high technology.3. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “repeal”?A. put an end toB. try hard to fixC. make strongerD. get accustomed to4 According to the speech, which of the following can be implied?A. American people have every reason to feel frustrated with the government.B. Health care costs are growing at the slowest rate in 50 years.C. The president feels sorry that the economy is not moving in the right direction.D. Some government officials don’t agree with the president on the medical care system.CArchitects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. But now scientists aregiving this feeling anempirical（经验的，实证的）basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused and lead to relaxation.Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers-Levy atthe University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room's ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook.In additions to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant(居住者)'s ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues atCornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and it seems to, according to a study led by C. Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.Recent study on room lighting design suggests than dim（暗淡的）light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers of Harvard MedicalSchool also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. "We havedo you take answers to very specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them? That's what we're all struggling with."1. What does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her research?A. Light.B. Ceilings.C. Windows.D. Furniture.2. The passage tells us that ______.A. the shape of furniture may affect people's feelingsB. lower ceilings may help improve students' creativityC. children in a dim classroom may improve their gradesD. students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed3 The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that ______.A. the problem is not approached step by stepB. the researches so far have faults in themselvesC. the problem is too difficult for researchers to detect(发现)D. research in this area is not enough to make generalized patterns4 Which of the following shows the organization of the passage? CP: Central Point P: Point SP: Sub-point（次要点）C: ConclusionDAs the United States nears the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks that killed more than 3,000 people, President Obama announced Sunday night that the al Qaeda（基地组织）leader and mastermind of that horrific day, Osama bin Laden, has been killed.CNN reports that a senior government official confirmed that bin Laden was shot by a small team of U.S. soldiers while in a mansion with family members outside Islamabad（堡）. His body is now in American custody（拘押）and is being handled according to Islamic customs. Three other adult men were killed in the firefight, including a son of bin Laden's, who was a senior member of the terrorist organization."Justice has been done," the president announced, saying that the operation he ordered after receiving intelligence information is "the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al-Qaeda."The immediate reactions ranged from cautious to ecstatic. Crowds cheered outside the White House. But officials said a "worldwide caution" would be set for Americans in case of al Qaeda retaliation （报复）.Will bin Laden's death be the justice Americans have sought for nearly a decade?Gordon Felt, president of Families of Flight 93, said it does bring comfort."This is important news for us, and for the world. It cannot ease our pain, or bring back our loved ones. It does bring a measure of comfort that the mastermind of the September 11th tragedy and the face of global terror can no longer spread his evil," Felt said.President Obama says this victory does not close the book."His death does not mark the end of our effort. There's no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us. We must and we will remain cautious," he noted.1. The underlined word “ecstatic” most probably means_________.A. scaredB. extremely happy and excitedC. doubtfulD. amazed2. The author mentions all of the items listed below EXCEPT_________.A. Four people were killed in the firefight.B. Families of the victims in the 9/11 attacks celebrated together.C. President Obama thought highly of the Anti-Terrorist Military ActionD.

Osama bin Laden has three sons.C. Some soldiers were injured in the firefight.D. More than 3000 people were killed in the 9/11 attacks.4. From the last paragraph we can learn that _________.A.

The al Qaeda has a new leader now.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）【题文】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。

Whenthe explorers(探险者)landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. In turn, the “moon people” expressed their surprise. “Why,” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?”H. G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beingsreally did land on the moon. People today know that there are no undergroundcitie s on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The “Chunnel”, a tunnel(隧道)connecting England and France, is now completed.But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designinga network of under ground systems, called “Alice Cities”. The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solardome(太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H. G. Wells’ “moon people”would agree. Would you?1. The explorers in H. G. Wells’ story were surprised to find that the “moon people”______.A. knew so much about the earthB. understood their languageC. lived in so many underground citiesD. w ere ahead of them in space technology2. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Discovering the moon’s inner space.B. Using the earth’s inner space.C. Meeting the “moon people” again.D. Traveling to outer space.3. What sort of underground systems are already here with us?A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations.B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.C. Gardens, car parks, power stations.D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.4. What would be the best title for the text?A. Alice Cities—cities of the futureB. Space travel with H. G. WellsC. Enjoy living undergroundD. Building down, not up四、阅读表达The earliest observance of thanksgiving on this continent was with special services in Virginia as early as 1607. The first Thanksgiving Festival began on December 13th in 1621 at Plymouth, Massachusetts. It started as a harvest festival with the people thanking God for giving them sufficient crops. That first Thanksgiving celebration lasted three days with the people enthusiastically participating.On June 20, 1676 the town of Charlestown, Massachusetts issued the First Thanksgiving Proclamation. By unanimous vote the governing council instructed the clerk, Edward Rawson, to proclaim June 29th as a day of thanksgiving.George Washington issued the first national Thanksgiving proclamation in 1789, the year of his inauguration as President of the United State s of America. He called for another thanksgiving Day in 1795. With other presidents and state governors proclaiming days of thanksgiving at various times there was no effort to organize a yearly Thanksgiving Day until Mrs. Sarah Joseph Hale struggled in 1827. It took thirty-six years to achieve victory when, in 1863, President AbrahamLincoln made his Thanksgiving Day Proclamati on. __________.Today Thanksgiving Day is a legal holiday with most government and private employees being given the day off. Some companies and most schools also shut down the following Friday. Yes, the United Sates of America, for most purposes,observes Thanksgiving Day.But, it appears that Thanksgiving Day, like most other national and religious holidays, has been highly commercialized, to the point that many people forgetwhat we are supposed to be celebrating. If we were to survey people on the street and ask, “What stands out in your mind when you think of Thanksgiving Day?” We would probably get answers like: turkey, dinner, pilgrims, fall, pumpkins, corn stalks. etc.But, how many people on Thanksgiving Day actually pause and do what the nameof the event suggests? What portion of the celebrators do stop to thank God forour nation and for all we have?A psalm commands us, “ Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done.”As we approach Thanksgiving Day, let’s not focus on the food, which aregifts. Let’s focus on the giver. Let’s thank God for all he has provided. Let’s call on his nam e and invite him to be present at our table. Let’s celebrate Thanksgiving Day with grateful hearts.1．What is the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)_________________________________________________________________________2．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?Many persons have ignored the original meaning of the Thanksg iving Day because it is often celebrated commercially._________________________________________________________________________ 3．Please fill in the blank with a proper sentence.

第九天一、美文晨读To give or notWhen a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.Certainly, most of the world’s great religions order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil. Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, some hold the opinion that there is no real excuse for be gging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one’s sense of pride and self-dependence.Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.二、词汇训练1. The b________finally brought the war to an end.2.

There are almost 2000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is quite high and their views are used all over the world. Excellent newspapers like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However, they are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these give detailed accounts of national and international news, but most tend to limit themselves to state or city news toLike the press in most other countries, American newspapers report news from the “exciting” and “relaxing” to the serious. They try to entertain people as well as give information, for they have to compete with the attraction of television.Just as American newspapers try to satisfy all tastes, they also try to attract readers of all political parties. A few newspapers support extremist groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers try their best to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are mainly moderate. Many of these papers print materials by well-known journalists of different political and social views, inAs in other countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once exposed political scandals, for example, the Watergate Affair（水门事件）1. Which newspaper in the U.K. is national?A. Le MondeB. Washington PostC. New York TimesD. The Times2. Most American newspapers atA. national news C. international news D.3. In order to win the competition with television, American newspapers have to______.A. give little informationB. give seriC. give entertainment newsA. printing articles by well-C. exposing politicalBIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; thatI have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success,However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is th e belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken-belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve（缓解）5. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. Competition helps to set up self-D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.6. Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?D. It encourages individual7. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means__C. those who are against competition most strongly8. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”?D. One’s success is based on how hard he has tried.9. Which point of view may the author agree to?B. Competition should beC. Winning should be a life-and-in competition.CSteve Jobs made technology fun. The co­founder of Apple died last Wednesday at the age of fifty­six. He had fought for years against cancer. Mourners gathered outside his house in Palo Alto, California, and Apple stores around the world.Tim Bajarin, President of Creative Strategies, say s, “If you actually look at tech leaders, they’re really happy if they have one hit in their life. Steve Jobs has the AppleⅡ, the Mac, the iPod, the iPhone, the iPad and Pixar.”Steve Jobs was a college dropout. He was adopted by a machinist and his wife, an accountant. They supported his early interest in electronics.He and his friend Steve Wozniak started Apple Computer—now just called Apple—in 1976. They stayed at the company until 1985. That year, Steve Wozniak returned to college and Steve Jobs left in a dispute with the chief executive.Mr. Jobs then formed his own company, called NeXT Computer. He rejoined Apple in 1997 after it bought NeXT. He helped remake Apple from a business that was in bad shape then to one of the most valuable companies in the world today.Steve Wozniak, speaking on CNN, remembered his longtime friend as a “great visionary and leader” and a “marketing genius”.President Obama said in a statement: “By building one of the planet’s most successful companies from his garage, he represents the spirit of American creativity. By making computers personal and putting the Internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible, but intuitive and fun.”Professor David Carroll says Steve Jobs not only revolutionized technology, he also revolutionized American business.“The fact that he was able to redesign American commerce top to bottom and across is really striking. He probably will be considered an industrial giant on the scale of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, so one of the greats of all time.”Steve Jobs stepped down as Apple’s chief executive in August because of his health. He died a day after the company released a new iPhone version that met with limited excitement.10. How long did Steve Jobs work in Apple?A. About 14 years.B. About 9 years.C. About 35 years.D.

What does David Carroll mean by saying “The fact that he was able to redesignAmer ican commerce top to bottom and across is really striking.”？A. Jobs has made great contributions to American technology revolution.B. Jobs has led American commerce from the worst to the best.C. Jobs will be considered an industrial giant because he improved American commerce.D. The changes Jobs’ technology revolution has brought to American commerce are great.14.

Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was "not athletic".The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I passed a sign: "GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!"By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a "marathon winner".1.A month before the marathon, the author ____________.A.was well trainedB.felt scaredC.made up his mind to runD.lost hope2.Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?A.To acknowledge the support of his teacher.B.To amuse the readers with a funny story.C.To show he was not talented in sports.D.To share a precious memory.3.How was the author’s first marathon?A.He made it.B.He quit halfway.C.He got the first prize.D.He walked to the end.4.What does the story mainly tell us?A.A man owes his success to his family support.B.A winner is one with a great effort of will.C.Failure is the mother of success.D.One is never too old to learn.10、 On March 17 there will be an explosion of green color across the world in celebration of St Patrick’s Day. The Irish traditionally wear something colored green on this day as the color is connected withIreland. Another St Patrick’s Day tradition is for the non-Irish to make jokes about the Irish. Usually these jokes will be about Irish stupidity or their famous thirst for alcohol, or their reputation(名声) for telling tall(untrue) stories. These characteristics are all part of the famous Irish stereotype (成见) thatIrishmen are hot-tempered drinkers, who love to fight and will do anything to avoid a day’s work.The real joke, however, is that this negative Irish stereotype still exists. The stereotype might have had some truth back in the 19th century when Irish was poverty-stricken and starving. Many Irish moved to the United States to escape famine(饥荒), but there they had to compete, occasionally with their fists, for jobs and housing with other immigrant groups. It was onAmerica’s streets that the Irish earned their reputation for street fighting. However, it was far from truth today, with the exception of the drinking perhaps.Today, the Irish are admired for their story telling gifts and musical talents. It is no accident that several of the greatest writers of the 20th century were Irish. Or that many of today’s most popular music groups such as singer Enya and rock band U2 are Irish born and growing. Lonely Planet readers even rankedIrelandas the friendliest country in the world.However, one bit of the Irish stereotype is true, their love for drink. Drinking inIrelandis a job, but it’s not necessarily something to criticize. It was the Irish after all who created one of the world’s best-loved beers, Guinness.1.What is this reading passage mainly about?A.The Irish festival--- St Patrick's Day.B.How the Irish earned their reputation.C.Jokes about the Irish people.D.Famous Irish stereotype and the truth.2.Which of the following statements does NOT belong to the Irish stereotype?A.Irishwomen are not hot-tempered drinkers.B.Most Irish people are always very lazy.C.Irishmen are good at street fighting.D.Irish people are famous for their stupidity.3.Where did the negative Irish stereotype come from?A.From their everyday behavior towards other people.B.From the behavior of Irish immigrants to the America in the 19th century.C.From the historical records of the 19th century Ireland.D.From most people's impression of the Irish people.4.Which of the following was created by the Irish?A.Tall stories.B.Street fighting winnersC.GuinnessD.Love for drink.七选五11、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

That was the day when American astronaut and explorer Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon.The moon is located almost 240,000 miles from the Earth. Armstrong and his crew, which included fellow astronauts Michael Collins and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, began their journey into space on the Apollo 11 Lunar Module (登月舱) on July 16, 1969.

As you’re reading, you’re taking in language naturally, and you’re s eeing how it all fits together. This iscrucialto your learning.The key to effective reading is to read things that you want to read. There are millions of books, magazines and websites out there. You couldn’t possibly read them at all. So the important thing is to find things that you like reading. Then, you’ll be motivated to read. And then the reading won’t be difficult. It’ll be easy! And then you’ll learn. It’s simple.Remember: read what you want to read—what you like reading and what motivates and in spires you. But where can you start? Well, you could read a book that you’ve already read in your own language first, then in English. Magazines are also great. Find one that covers a topic you’re interested in: business, clothing, cooking…you name it, the y’ll have it. Why not join a forum(论坛)？Go to google Groups，which has discussion groups based on common interests. Just type in the topic that interests you and join the chat.Finally, how you read is also important. The best thing is to read without using a dictionary. Let the words flow over you. Just skip the parts you don’t understand. If you make your reading feel too much like work, it’ll stop being fun. Of course, you could make a note of any new words and phrases that you like or see repeated frequently, but try not to break your concentration too much. Also, set yourself mini-objectives. For example, if you’re reading a novel, read 20 pages a day. Very soon, you have been exposed to thousands of useful phrases and words. Have fun reading! You’ll lear n so much!【小题1】The underlined word “crucial” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to “________”.A. easyB. importantC. difficultD. suitable【小题2】The key to effective reading is________.A. to read millions of booksB. not to learn grammar rulesC. to be motivated to readD. to read easy things【小题3】You can start to read by________.A. reading the news in English firstB. reading a book that you’ve already read in EnglishC. going to Google Groups to practice spoken EnglishD. reading magazines containing topics you are interested in【小题4】From the passage we can learn that________.A. when reading you needn’t look up every new word in the dictionaryB. the great thing about reading is that you can read without any effortC. you should make notes of every new word and phrase while readingD. to read is as much fun as to work【小题5】The best title of the passage is “________”.A. How To Read English NovelsB. How To Learn English By ReadingC. How To Absorb Expressions And PhrasesD. How To Learn English Without Any Effort5、Almost no young people today know who the cartoon character Oswald the Rabbit is，but they certainly recognize his successor，Bugs Bunny.Oswald，Bugs，and hundreds of other characters were created by Walt Disney，perhaps the most famous cartoonist in history.Born in Chicago in 1901，Walt Disney always wanted to be an artist.After returning from World War Ⅰ，in which he drove an ambulance，Disney worked as a commercial artist.He enjoyed drawing cartoons more than anything else，and decided to try hishand at a technology that was new at the time，moving pictures.In the 1920’s，he produced several films where he made cartoon characters move as if by magic.The technique Disney used was painstaking.He made hundreds or even thousands of repeated drawings of the same character.In each drawing，the character was changed just a bit.A film was taken of the series of drawings，and when it was shown，the characters appeared to move.The process，called animation，is still used today，although computers have made the process much easier.In 1928，Disney created his most famous character，Mortimer Mouse，who we know today as Mickey.The mouse starred in a cartoon called Steamboat Willie，which was unusual because it involved the use of a sound track.Within the next few years，Disney invented many of his other characters.The list of Disney’s animation successes is long and memorable.It includes Pinocchio，Dumbo，Bambi，Cinderella，and Peter Pan.Perhaps his most remarkable animated film is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.Created in 1937，it was an immediate success.Today，more than fifty years later，it is still one of the most popular films for children.【小题1】What is one of the chief differences between animation today and in Walt Disney’s early years?A. More people like animated movies.B. Fewer people like animated movies.C. Computers have made the job easier.D. Computers have made the job harder.【小题2】Which of these words best describes Walt Disney?A. Creative.B. Athletic.C. Exciting.D. Quiet.【小题3】What makes the film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs so remarkable?A. It was a little success when created.B. It took more than a year to make it.C. It was made at a time when there were no computers.D. It has remained popular for more than fifty years.6、根据课文内容,在每个空格填上合适的单词,完成短文｡Zhou Yang will never forget his first assignment as a 1 ( report) in China Daily.

ASleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and the brain grow and develop. However,many Chinese do not sleep well,and many do not pay enough attention to sleep.The Chinese Medical Doctor Association released the 2013 China Sleep Quality Index(指数)on March 19 to mark World Sleep Day---March 21.According to the index,nearly a quarter of Chinese people don’t sleep well.Half said that they feel tired after getting up and 15 percent people have trouble falling asleep.Ye Jingying,a sleep expert at Beijing Tongren hospital,says:“If people often wake up during the night,or always feel weak and tired in the day,they sho uld pay attention to their sleep pattern.”Many people play with their cell phones or i pads before sleeping.The report said that this is one of the main reasons for bad sleep.Other reasons include stress and bad moods.How to sleep well? Above all,get enough sleep.Seven to nine hours of sleep every night is perfect for an adult,and eight to nine hours is best for a teenager.Forming good sleep habits is important.The report suggested that people need to keep away from digital devices(数码产品）for at least an hour before sleep. The lights keep their brains excited for a long while.Other suggestions include:try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day,even on weekends and during holidays,and do the same relaxing things before bed each night,like listening to soft music.56.According to the passage,World Sleep Day falls on_____.A.March 12B.March 19C.March 31D.March 2157.Which of the following means that you sleep well?A.You feel tired after getting upB.You wake up several times during the night.C.You can fall asleep within 20 minutes.D.You often do something boring until you feel sleepy.58.From the article,Which of the following may NOT cause sleeping problems?A.Having sad or angry feelings.B.Reading a book late at night.C.Playing with digital devices before sleeping.D.Being under strong stress about their life or work.BA popular saying goes,“Sticks and stone may break my bone s, but words will never hurt me.”However, that's not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn't matter if the words come from someo ne else or ourselves-the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We're usually to o embarrassed to admit it, though. But we really shouldn't be, because more and more experts believe talking to our selves out loud is a healthy habit.This self-talk helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Beware, th ough, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negat ive. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be qui ck to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time y ou finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying,“Good job !”Often, words come out of our mouths without our thi nking about the effects they will have; but we should be aware that our words cause certain responses to others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or we ca n use harsh, critical language, which will most likely cau se the clerk to be defensive. Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Bef ore speaking, we should always ask ourselves:Is it true? I s it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn 't pass this test, then it's better left unsaid.Words possess power both positive and negative. Those aroun d us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We ca n offer hope, build self-esteem（自尊）and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destr oy all those things.Will we use our words to hurt or to heal？The choice is ours.64. The author argues in the first paragraph that.A. words have lasting effects on usB. words will never hurt us at allC. positive effects last longer than negative effectsD. negative words may let us down65. Why should we not feel embarrassed when talking to ou rselves？A. Almost everybody has the habit of talking to oneself.B. Talking to ourselves is believed to be good for our h ealth.C. Talking to ourselves helps us to solve all the problem s.D. It does harm to have "self-talk" when we are alone.66. Which of the following statements would the author agr ee to?A. Unkind words are more likely to be forgotten.B. It is better to think twice before talking to others.C. Words always possess long positive effects.D. Kind words are sometimes not needed at all.67. Why should we talk in a friendly way when returning an item to a store?A. Because kind words build up complex relationships.B. Because the clerk in a store is hard to deal with.C. Because friendly words cause positive responses.D. Because critical language may hurt your feelings.CToday, home-ownership has reached extremely high levels. Modern generations tend to believe there is something wrong with them if they rent. However, is high home-ownership really as rosy as people imagine? Staring at data first, we realize that the most successful, stable, attractive country in the Western world is Switzerland. It has tiny unemployment; wealth; high happiness and mental-health scores. Doesit have high home-ownership rates? Absolutely not. In Switzerland, about seven in ten of the population are renters. Yet, with Europe's lowest home-ownership rate, the nation thrives. Now go to the other end of the misery distribution. Spain has approximately the highest home-ownership rate in Europe (at more than 80%). But one-quarter of its population are unemployed.A likely reason is that high levels of home-ownership mess up the labour market. In a sensibly functioning economy it is easy for people to move around to drop into the vibrant job slots thrown up by technological change. With a high degree of owner-occupation, everything slows. Folk get stuck. Renters can go to new jobs. In that way they do the economy a favour. As Friedman said, the rate of unemployment depends on the flexibility of the housing market.Next we come to economic breakdown. Most analysts accept that at heartit was the housing market—obsessive pursuit of homes, the engendered mortgage(房贷) lending and an unavoidable house-price crash—that sank the Western world. Germany, say, with its more efficient rental market, had a far smoother ride through trouble.As for the monetary system, in the past few decades, in the hope of getting untaxed capital gains way above their true labour earnings, many people threw their spare cash into buying larger houses or building extra bedrooms. TV programmes about how to make easy money, beautiful rising house prices, and most importantly, our falulty tax system encouraged that. When at some point market broke down, everyone suffered. Our countries ought, instead, to design tax systems that encourage people to invest in productive real activities and in innovation. Renting leaves money free for better purposes.That also points to the role of sensible budgeting over a person's lifetime. Why should we think that when we die it is necessary to have paid off an entire house? Our children do not deserve it. Let them pay for themselves. We should rent—and enjoy our lives with the money saved.Finally, moderation usually pays off. Our scientific understanding of how economies function is horribly limited. This suggests that the golden rule should be to avoid extremes. A 50-50 mix of home-ownership and renting, not the 70-30 split that is now observed in so many Western nations, makes sense.82. The cases of Switzerland and Spain prove that ______.A. low home-ownership rate at about 30% is most favourable for economyB. home-ownership mainly decides a country’s citizens’ mental health.C. home-ownership has a lot to do with a country’s technological developmentD. low home-ownership increases the mobility of job market and economy.83. The main reason to make people invest in housing market is ______.A. the problematic taxing approach favouring house buyingB. people’s desire to avoid their money from devaluingC. easy channels to obtain methods to make easy moneyD. people’s wishes to live in larger and more comfortable houses84. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Switzerland suffers the worse unemployment in Europe.B. Renting allows more money into more creative economic activities.C. Germany’s effective mortgage system saw it through the western economic crisis.D. Our children have the right to enjoy the housing property we have paid off.85. What opinion does the author agree with most?A. People should learn the workings of housing market.B. Laws should be set up to stop people from buying houses.C. An adequate rate of home-ownership should be kept.D. People should follow the good example of Europe in housing investment.DAs you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as yon need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long-hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them.Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs , leaving their two children with a nanny (保姆). Most evenings Daniel wouldn't get home until eight or nine o'clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. "I always wanted to have a farm hen," says Daniel, "and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It's taken some getting used to, but it's been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it's made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.Liz, however, is not quite sure. "I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I'm not really a country girl, but I suppose I'm gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all."74. What do the first two paragraphs tell us?A. People seldom work long hours to make money.B. People hardly buy more things than necessary.C. People are sure everything they own is in the right place.D. People realize there is more to life than just making money.75. When Daniel was a reporter he _________________.A. lived in central LondonB. disliked his jobC. missed his childrenD. was well paid76. What does the underlined "it" in the last paragraph refer to?A. Child-caring.B. Liz's advice.C. Downshifting.D. Liz's job.77. The underlined word "downshifting" in the second paragraph means _________.A. repairing your car by yourselfB. spending money carefullyC. moving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better lifeD. living in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week.第二节（七选五共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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper (雨刮器)? Shouldn' t we know who they are?Joan Mclean thinks so. In fact, Mclean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that she's developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning “who” invented “what”, however, Mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why” and “how” questions.According to Mclean, “When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”Her students agree. One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLean's statement. “If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper's invention,” said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major.“I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rain storm into something so meaningful.” Leeis currently negotiating(商谈) to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldn't be a built-in device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started working out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever (操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper.Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations.(创新) It's hard to imagine driving without Garrett A.Morgan's traffic light. It's equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J.Blodgett's innovation that makes glass invisible.1.By mentioning “traffic light” and “windshield wiper”, the author indicates that countless inventions are ________________.A.beneficial, though their inventors are less famousB.beneficial, because their inventors are famousC.not useful, because their inventors are less famousD.not useful, though their inventors are famous 2.Professor Joan McLean's course aims to________.A.add color and variety to students' campus lifeB.prepare students to try their own inventionC.carry out the requirements by Mountain Universityrm students of the windshield wiper's invention3.Tommy Lee's invention of the unbreakable umbrella was________.A.not eventually accepted by the umbrella producerB.not related to Professor Joan McLean's lecturesC.due to his dream of being caught in a rainstormD.inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper4.Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?7、Next week California will try to take cell phones from the hands of drivers, telling everyone from millionaires to workers that conversations behind the wheel must be on an earphone.Californians interviewed by Reuters mostly supported the law requiring hands-free phones in cars and banning cell phones entirely for drivers under 18, which will take effect on Tuesday, though they were puzzled by a loophole(漏洞) that allows seemingly more dangerous text messaging. Some were doubtful about lawmakers, who they blamed for failing to build more freeways or public transportation in the face of increasingly crowded roads in the nation’s most populous state and said hands-free conversations were not safer.KFI-AM radio talk-show host John Kobylt told Reuters. “It's stupid because we’ve one over about seven different studies and each one of them says it’s the conversation that distracts you, not holding the phone.”State Senator Joe Simitian, who introduced the bill, said keeping both hands on the wheel was always safer. He expected his law to save hundreds of lives. The Democratic lawmaker was considering introducing a new law to ban text messaging in the car, which he said wasn’t an issue when he began working on the first one in 2001.Connecticut, New Jersey and New York have already banned drivers from talking on hand-held cell phones. In New Jersey, police have issued 35,000 tickets for using a hand-held phone or texting while driving since the law went into effect on March 1.But Californians interviewed by Reuters expressed ambivalence.“On the one hand I don’t want to see people crash into each other, but I'm not going to get an ear thing.” 38-year-old bank employee Jason Fischer said in Los Angeles.1.We can infer from Paragraph 2 that______.A.most Californians hate to use an earphone while making a call in the carB.public transportation in California isn’t developed enoughC.in New Jersey few people use a hand-held phoneD.most of Californians are probably against the new law2.According to John Kobylt,_________.A.all the lawmakers are stupidB.holding the phone is safer than using an earphoneC.it isn’t dangerous to make a phone call while drivingD.it is the phone conversation while driving that is really dangerous3.What will State Senator Joe Simitian probably do in the future?A.He will suggest a law to forbid text messaging while rivingB.He will conduct a new survey among CaliforniansC.He will suggest building more roads in CaliforniaD.He will suggest a law to completely ban cell phones while driving.4.The underlined word “ambivalence” in the last paragraph probably refers to______.A.a positive attitudeB.a negative attitudeC.a confused feelingD.an excited feeling七选五8、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。

He’s planning a trip to the United States, and wanted to know about the best places to travel in America. Today, we are going to give you some information which may help you when choosing your destination.Each of the 50 states in America has interesting things to offer visitors, but some are more popular than others. Washington, D.C. is famous for its historical places, like the White House and the Lincoln Memorial. Visitors to Los Angeles, California can see the Hollywood Walk of Fame or shop the stores on Rodeo Drive where they may see a star or two. The Grand Canyon in Arizona appeals to hikers, climbers and nature lovers, as does Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.TripAdvisor is a website where people can write reviews about their travel experiences. Every year, TripAdvisor makes a list of the top 25 cities to visit in the United States. The results are based on the opinions of visitors to the website.Brooke Ferencsik of TripAdvisor said the top picks on the list were not surprising. And it’s no secret why New York City was named the number one destination.New York City is sometimes called “the city that never sleeps〞 because it can be very busy. It is an exciting place for many people because there is so much to do. But the city might be too busy for travelers looking for rest and calm. They might want something more like Myrtle Beach, in the state of South Carolina, which made it to number 21 on Trip Advisor’s list.“A lot of people come to Myrtle Beach for great weather, it’s a wonderful family vacation spot, the beaches - got the wonderful Atlantic beaches there - there’s a lot of family-friendly parks and water parks.〞Many people take time off from their jobs in the summer to travel. Because there are many tourists visiting other places, June until August is known as “high season.〞 Traveling during the high season can be crowded. Hotels, restaurants, and transportation might also be very expensive.If you want to save money on a trip, it is a good idea to plan to leave before or after the summer months. These times are known as “shoulder seasons〞 for travel.“If you’re looking for value, try and think about traveling through the shoulder season if it’s possible - the shoulder season being the fall or the spring. The weather is still very good in some of these destinations, and you can get better prices.〞America’s major cities are still the most popular destinations for visitors. Ferencsik says this is because of the good quality of services they provide tourists.“They do a great job of giving travelers what they want when they’re on vacation. I think they kind of cater to every type of traveler need.

This year there are 22.Fifty years ago, they were the latest thing in educational reform: big, modern high schools outside the cities with thousands of students. Big schools meant economic efficiency, a greater choice of courses, and better football teams. But only years later did we understand that it involved the difficulty of strengthening personal connections between teachers and students. SAT scores began dropping; on average, 30% of students did not complete high school in four years, a figure that rose to 50% in poor city neighborhoods. High schools for a variety of reasons seemed to have made little progress.Size isn’t everything, but it does matter, and the past decade has seen a noticeable trend toward smaller schools. This has been partly due to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has invested $1.8 billion in American high schools, helping to open about 1,000 small schools —most of them with about 400 kids, each with an average enrollment of only 150 students per grade. About 500 more are on the drawing board. Districts all over the country are taking notice, along with mayors in cities like New York, Chicago and San Diego. And most noticeable of all, there is the phenomenon of large urban and suburban high schools that have split up into smaller units of a few hundred.Hillsdale High School in San Mateo, California, is one of those ranking No.423 — among the top 2% in the country. In 2021, Hillsdale remade itself into three “houses〞. 300 students arriving ninth graders are randomly assigned to one of the houses, where they will keep the same four core subject teachers for two years before moving on to another for 11th and 12th grades. Teachers meet with students in groupsof 25, five mornings a week, for open-ended discussions of everything from homework problems to bad Saturday-night dates. The advisers also meet with students privately and stay in touch with parents. Along with the new structure came the percentage of freshmen taking biology jumped from 17 to 95.〞It was rough for some. But by senior year, two-thirds have moved up to physics,〞says Jeff Gilbert. “Our kids are coming to school in part because they know there are adults here who know them and care for them.〞But not all schools show advances after downsizing, and it remains to be seen whether smaller schools will be a cure-all solution.Ranking schools is always controversial. Over the years this system has been criticized for its simplicity — list of top U.S. high schools was made merely according to the proportion of students taking college-level exams. This year a group of 38 superintendents (地区教育主管) from five states wrote to ask that their schools should be excluded from the calculation. “It is impossible to know which high schools are ‘the best’ in the nation,〞their letter read. “Determining whether different s chools do or don’t offer a high quality of education requires a look at many different measures, including students’ overall academic accomplishments, their later performance in college, and taking into consideration the unique needs of their communities.〞【小题1】What can we learn about the schools sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation?A．They are often located in poor neighborhoods.B．They are popular with high-achieving students.C．They are mostly small in size.D．Another 150 schools invested by the Foundation are planned to be set up.【小题2】According to Jeff Gilbert, the classes at Hillsdale were set up so that students could ______.A．tell their teachers what they did on weekendsB．experience a great deal of pleasure in learningC．maintain closer relationships with their teachersD．deal with the demanding biology and physics courses【小题3】Newsweek ranks high schools according to ______.A．their students’ academic achievementB．the number of their students admitted to collegeC．the size and number of their graduating classesD．their college-level test participation【小题4】What attitude does the author have towards the present trend in high school education?A．Subjective.
