This is a story of a repair robot R-62.One day, a car came to the repair factory and a human stepped out of the car.“Wow, a human! I have never seen a real one,” said R-62.“Humans are quite clever. They’re able to do any action they want to. They’re even able to harm other human beings or organize wars, which they have been doing a lot in the history. Also they don’t even have to follow orders if they don’t want to,” said another robot T-59 quietly to R-62.“How terrible it is! And almost all robots seem afraid of him and don’t look at him directly,” said R-62.The human then sat down and asked if there had been any problems in the last 10 years and he only got a quick answer, “No, sir.”Then suddenly, R-62 said loudly, “I have one question for you.”The human said, “Yes”, a bit unhappy for not getting “sir”.“Why do human create so many robots?” asked R-62.Silence followed the question and he then said, “I don’t need to answer questions from robots!” He then went into his car and drove away quickly.“I really don’t understand why humans replaced (取代)themselves with robots,” asked R-62.“Because they thought that robots were more advanced(先进的) than humans. They created us to support themselves,” answered T-59.“But there are so few humans on Earth. What they should do is take away the robots or at least make them sto p doing the work which humans are supposed to do,” said R-62.“I agree. But we can do nothing about it. And now we have to finish repairing this car,” said T-59.“All right, let’s continue.”21. In T-59’s opinion, humans are .A. smartB. politeC. dangerousD. stupid22.

When you do, learning bursts right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column(专栏) called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post newspaper.In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school life, such as bullying.As a kid in a primary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’re like a sponge (海绵), able to absorb lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, in most cases, is very excited to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you make it. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they wanted to be teachers in the first place—to teach!Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class.28．In the passage, the author mainly talks about _______.A. how to get along well with othersB. the importance of a good relation with teachersC. how much the students are expected of to get along with teachersD. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant29．“Learning bursts right open” in the third paragraph really means _______.A. learning becomes easier for you at onceB. you find an opening to learningC. there’ll be more problems with learningD. there’ll be no problems at all with learning3O．According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. If you get on well with your teachers, you must have a good result in exams.B. The more questions you ask, the higher marks you will get.C. If you have a good relationship with your teacher, you can turn to him when in trouble.D. Many kids can do well without a good relationship with teachers.31．Which of the comments is FALSE on teachers and their work according to the passage?A. Teachers are excited even if you wouldn’t like to accept their teachin g.B. Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do.C. Though few, there are still some students who can learn even if they don’t like the teacher.D. Having a bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies. DA small town in southwest Britain is banning(禁止) plastic bags in an attempt to help the environment and cut waste－a step that environmentalists believe is a first for Europe.Shopkeepers in Modbury population 1,500, agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to customers on Saturday. They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags would be offered instead.Last month, San Franciso became the first U.S. city to ban plastic grocery bags. Internationally, laws to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland, where governments either tax shoppers who use them or fine companies that hand them out. Bangladesh already bans them, and so do at least 30 remote Alaskan villages.Modbury, about 225 miles southwest of London, has also declared a bag amnesty(宽限期), allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that have piled up at home. They will be sent for a recycling.The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking, who saw the effect of bags on manne life while working in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman. She said response(反应) in the town so far had been “really positive”.“Modbury is quite an old-fashioned town and a lot of people have wicker baskets to go out shopping anyway,” Hosking t old Sky News Television.The Worldwatch Institute, an environmental research agency, states that 100 billion plastic bags are thrown away each year in the United States alone. More than 500 billion are used yearly around the world.32. What was Rebecca Hosking?A. A lawyer.B. An environmentalist.C. A sailor.D. A photographer.33.The underlined word “disposable” in the passage probab ly means .A. acceptableB. valuableC. throw-awayD. long-lasting34 It can be inferred from the passage that .A. most of the people in Modbury continue to use plastic bagsB. fewer and fewer plastic bags will be used in the world.C. San Francisco is the first city to ban plastic bags in the worldD. most countries in the world have passed laws to ban plastic bags35. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. Environmental ProtectionB. Big Cities Banning Plastic BagsC. Effect of Plastic Fags on Sea AnimalsD. British Town Banning Plastic Bags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。

Now learn to use a computer safely.Your eyesToo much light can injure your eyes, so never sit too close to a computer screen. Your eyes should be at least 50 centimeters (厘米) from the screen. Remember to look away from it sometimes. This gives your eyes a rest.When you use a computer, the window should be on your left or your right. If it is behind you, the lightwill reflect on (反射) the screen. If the window is in front of you, the sun and the screen will both shine into your eyes.Your hands and wristsHand and wrist injuries can happen because the hands and wrists are moved in the same way hundreds of times. If you use a keyboard for a long time, follow these three rules: 1) Rest your wrists on something. 2) Keep your elbows (肘) at the same height as the keyboard. 3) Stop sometimes and exercise your hands, wrists and fingers in a different way.Your backSome people sit for many hours in front of a computer.

Some students become worried because they have to study very hard. Others have trouble getting on well with people around them like their parents and classmates. Parents and teachers should care more about this problem."Then Mr. Ma gave some examples. A middle school student from Xi'an was doing badly in his lessons. He thought his teachers and friends often laughed at him, and he became so nervous and worried that one night he left his home without telling his parents. Another student, a 14-year-old schoolgirl from Shanghai, was very afraid of exams. While she was reading the exam paper, she couldn't think of anything to write.A recent report from a newspaper says about 18% of the young students in Shanghai have mental problems. They often feel worried and very unhappy. Unluckily many of them won't go and ask for help. Some think they will look stupid if they go to see a doctor. Others won't talk about their secrets.At the end of the meeting, Mr. Ma gave some good ideas to young people:◆Talk to your parents or teacher often.◆Join in group activities.◆Try to get on well with the people around you.◆Go to see a doctor if you often feel unhappy.25.

I wanted to say "no" until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin littlesandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow."Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa."They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I servedthem cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands,looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, "Lady, are you rich?""Am I rich? Pity, no!"I looked at my worn-out slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefullyand said, "Your cups match(匹配) your saucers." They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.I tasted the potatoes and stirred(搅动)the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof overour heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of littlesandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin toforget how rich I am.32.

包钢四中2015-2016学年高三第一学期12月月考英语试卷第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）(A)A Nobel Prize is considered by most people one of the highest international honors a person can receive. As you know, the prizes were started by a Swedish called Alfred Nobel. He was born in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. Alfred Nobel was a great scientist. He made two important inventions, and so he became very rich. Although he was rich, Nobel was not a happy man. He never married or had children. Also, he was a sick man during his large part of life. When he died at the age of 63, he left a fund of $9,000,000. The money was to be used in giving prizes to those who made great achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine and literature, and for world peace.The first Nobel P rizes were given on December 10, 1901, five years after Nobel’s death. Since then many famous people from all over the world have been given Nobel Prizes for their achievements.Each prize has three parts. The first part is a gold medal. Second, a winner of a Nobel Prize is given a diploma saying that he has been given the prize. The third part of the prize is a large amount of money-about $40,000.Often a prize is given to just one person, but not always. Sometimes a prize is shared. It may be given to two or more people who have worked together. It is also sometimes true that a prize is not given at all if there is no great achievement. In 1972, for example, no Nobel Peace Prize was given.1. What kind of person would you say Alfred Nobel was?A．He was a rich, happy and lucky man.B．He was a poor, unhappy and unlucky man.C．He was a rich, but unhappy and unlucky man.D．He was a poor, but happy and lucky man.2. When he died, Nobel left a large amount of money ________.A．to his wife B．to his childrenC．for helping the poor people in Sweden D．for setting five prizes3. The underlined word “diploma” in the passage most probably means_________ . A．certificate B．letter C．ticket D．card4. How many persons is a Nobel Prize given to?A．Not always one person. B．Two persons.C．Only one person. D．Three persons.(B)The Lighthouse of Alexandria is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was built on the island of Pharos just off the coast of Alexandria, Egypt. It was also commonly known as the Pharos Lighthouse. It took builders about twenty years to complete the lighthouse. The best description came from the writings of Arab traveler Abou-Haggag Al- Andaloussi when he visited the pharos Lighthouse in 1166.The writings showed that the structure was made up of 4 main parts. At the bottom was a platform(平台) filled with statues（雕塑）that are still being discovered by present-day travelers. Some researchers believe that ships arrived just off this platform as well.On top of this platform stood a structure that was 18m on each side and about 56m tall. In the middle of this part is a shaft (轴) and stairwell used for carrying material and fuel up the Pharos Lighthouse , and for visitors as well.The third part was an eight-sided structure. It is about 27m high. It also contained a shaft in the middle. On top of this was a tower that housed the fire(for use to alert (警戒)ships during the night). This was the fourth part.The Pharos Lighthouse was a true wonder in engineering. It was as high as a modern 40 –story building. The Greeks were so impressed with it that they thought it as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. However, the Pharos Lighthouse was damaged by earthquakes, becoming totally destroyed in the early 14th century. Its ruins and location were later used by the Egyptian Sultan Qaitbay to build a fort ( 堡垒) in 1480, thus ending the story for this Wonder of the World.5. Which of the following about the Pharos Lighthouse is NOT mentioned?A. Its history.B. Its structure.C. Its designer.D. Its location.6. We can learn from the last paragraph that_______.A. the Greeks destroyed the Pharos LighthouseB. the earthquakes in the early 14 th century were not seriousC. the Pharos Lighthouse was rebuilt after the earthquakesD. the damage of the Pharos Lighthouse was hard to repair7. The middle part of thee Pharos Lighthouse was used to _________.A. keep bad people out of itB. provide material for the fireC. offer a place for ships to stopD. Place the fire and mirror on it8. Where does this passage probably come from?A. A travel bookB. A diaryC. A news reportD. A story book(C)Along with the knowledge my senior year is the most fun of the four years of high school, and it is also the most stressful . This will be an experience that will change my life forever.Applying for colleges is clearly stressful for students. We have to decide where to go and what to study. College is where I think I’m going to learn a lot about myself. I’ll be o n my own.An endless flow of questions has been running through my head this year. Having decided to go to college, I have to select a few colleges and universities that are a certain size, a certain distance from home, that require the SAT scores and gra des I have. Now that I’ve completed a year-long application process, I have to wait. That’s probably the worst part: waiting, wondering and hoping. I know from those that accept me the one I choose will be where I’ll spend the next four years of my life. Have I ever figured out what I will do as a career? It frightens me because I only know what I want to study. I have no specific goals in mind.Senior year brings the fear of leaving family and friends. Keeping in touch with my family will be easy because I won’t be going far but what worries me is that I won’t keep in touch with my friends in college. They won’t be living in the same area. In fact, some are going to schools across the country, and others aren’t going to school, but have jobs around the country.Along with the fear of college comes excitement and anticipation, knowing that I will be living on my own with people in the same situation as me. Hopefully, we will become good friends.9. The text mainly talks about________.A. fun life in the senior yearB. worries about college lifeC. stress in the senior yearD. applications for colleges and universities10.

What is good about chocolate?A．It serves as a suitable gift．B．It works as an effective medicine．C．It helps improve the state of mind．D．It strengthens business relations．14.

But as l looked up again, what I saw stunned me. Hundreds of feathers now covered the ground。

The beautiful pigeon lay dead before my eyes—most likely hit by a car。

In tears, I went back inside to get a tool to bury it. This pigeon’s life reflected（反射）my own. I had been hurt at work and would never be able to go back to my job again。

I got your name and address from the Making Pen Pals' Column in Buddies magazine and thought I'd write to you. Well, let me start by telling you something about myself. I am 13 years old and I am studying in secondary one at Westdove School. I have just finished my exams. I live with my parents and younger sister in a five room apartment. I like swimming, playing tennis and reading novels. I love the outdoors, especially the sea and I have been on several trekking (long and hard) tours abroad. I enjoy listening to both pop and classical music. My favorite food is pizza and I love making it myself because I like to make it with lots of cheese and pepper. To sum it up, I am a talkative, caring and patient person.I guess life in London must be wonderful with all the interesting places and good food to enjoy. I'd love to see the famous Big Ben. I hope to visit London during one of my school holidays. Laura, I would really like to learn more about your culture and lifestyle. I hope you will write back.I have enclosed(附有) my address and telephone number. Please feel free to call me if you make a trip to Singapore. I think you should because it is a wonderful place to shop. Till then, good-bye.Yours faithfullyVeronica21. Veronica writes the letter to Laura because she wants to ______.A. tell something about her hometownB. know something about herC. invite her to her countryD. make friends with her22. Veronica says she loves making pizza because ______.A. there is no pizzas in SingaporeB. people can not buy fresh pizza in SingaporeC. she can make pizza to her own tasteD. she thinks it is cheap to make pizza23. From the letter we know that ______.A. Veronica is not interested in travelingB. Veronica has traveled a lotC. Veronica has been to London beforeD. Veronica thinks Singapore is the best place for travelers( B )As we know, most of the material things in our daily life have to be bought with money. But money is not all powerful. Money can't buy many things such as time and true love. There are 24 hours in a day. Sometimes when we are very happy, we wish that the period of happiness would last(持续）longer. But no matter what we do, or how much money we are willing to pay, we cannot make a day last longer than 24 hours. On the other hand, when we are unhappy, money cannot make the unhappy time pass away more quickly. True love is another thing which money cannot buy. Suppose we have someone who really loves us very much. Once he dies, he can give us no more love. Can our money raise him from death and make him love us as before? Here we can see very clearly that money cannot buy us love. Money can buy us diamond things, beautiful clothes, but never time and love. So money, after all, is not all powerful.24. According to the passage, it is quite impossible for you to buy ______.A. true friendshipB. real diamondC. a large houseD. an expensive car25. Which of the sentences expresses the main idea of this passage?A. Money cannot buy time and love.B. Money is the most powerful thing in the worldC. Money can buy people material things.D. Money doesn't mean everything.26. Through the passage the writer wants to tell people not to ______.A. make moneyB. waste moneyC. save moneyD. worship (崇拜) money27. From the passage we can see that in our life, besides something material, we need something______.A. spiritual (精神上的)B. beautifulC. lovelyD. useful( C )More than 10,000 people were made homeless in Ternang when the Sungai Mas overflowed its banks yesterday after six days of continuous heavy rain.The wooden bridge across the river has been washed away. The town is cut off by flood waters. At the fifth mile, Jalan Tengkn, the water is two meters deep. It is closed to all traffic. Flooding first happened at mid-afternoon yesterday along the river banks. People trying to get to higher ground were just in time to escape the destroying of the flood. Most of the flood victims(受害者) had to leave all their things behind.The National Flood Relief(救济) Center was reported to give its help and by early evening the whole town was moved out, helped by the army, police, Red Cross Society and volunteers(志愿者).The flood victims are now housed in different simple relief centers in the nearby town of Ternang. “Everything possible is being done to help the unlucky people,” a government spokesman said, “In fact, money, food and clothing have begun to come in from public organiza tions and helpful people. A Disaster Relief Fund（救灾基金会）will be started as soon as possible.”According to the latest reports it is still raining heavily at Ternang. The whole town is expected to be wholly covered by the water. So far no deaths have been reported.28. This passage is probably taken from ______.A. a storybookB. a textbookC. a magazineD. a newspaper29. It seems that the flood happened just because ______.A. the banks were too lowB. the wooden bridge is solid (坚固)C. the river was too narrowD. they had had wet days for some time30. From the passage we know that ______.A. though the town was flooded, you could still go there by busB. as soon as the water flowed over the banks, people began to go to higher landsC. the government and the whole society are taking great care of the flood victimsD. the flood hasn't brought a large loss to the town as nobody died in the flood31. What is the best title for this passage?A. A Big FloodB. Ternang Is destroyedC. Over 10,000 People Are HomelessD. Rescue Team ArrivedDThere have been many great inventions, which have changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today---the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things to travel long distances. For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that have made as much effect as the wheel. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn't have to explore(开发) much any more. They began to work instead to make life better.In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today. The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909. Sound movies in 1926. The computer in 1928, and jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear. The middle part of the 20th brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live long lives. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60. By this time most people had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a wish to explore again. The world is known to man but the stars are not yet. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space.32. The first great invention ever known was ______.A. the cameraB. the wheelC. the electric lightD. the radio33. Which of the following was turned out nearly at the same time with the jet plane?A. The radio.B. The camera.C. Nylon.D.The helicopter.34. This passage talks mainly about ______.A. how inventions affect (影响) people's lifeB. when electric light was inventedC. which country made the first step into spaceD. why cars were very important35. We can safely come to the conclusion that people's life will be made even better through______.B. greater inventionsD. all of above第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文中的内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有两项为多余选项_36_ One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club.

It 36 me of how many people I’ve seen who take the yellow light as a 37 to go faster. I also can’t understand why people don’t move when the traffic light has turned green. Above all, there are those 38 situations in which someone doesn’t even 39 that the light turns red, and just keeps going. That is why so many 40 happen! All these situations make me 41 the purpose of traffic lights.42 , it’s even more frightening to imagine letting people make their own decisions at 43 crossroads. Do the biggest cars get to go first?

And there 52 have been some yellow caution lights: to watch how much I drink, to keep control of my behavior, and to 53 school regularly and work hard.If I obey these rules, my life will be as 54 as it can be.

His childhood lacked the harmony(和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”. In fact, he inherited(继承) excellent taste in art from his family-----both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama(戏剧) and poetry.Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn’t lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats’poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.He had not enjoyed a major public lift since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923. Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats’ death in 1939, W.H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines:Earth, receive an honored guest:William Yeats is laid to rest.Let the Irish vessel(船) lie.Emptied of his poetry.56. Which of the following can describe Yeats’ family?A. It filled Yeats’ childhood with laughter.B. It was shocked by Yeats’ choice.C. It was a typically wealthy family.D. It had an artistic atmosphere.57. According to the passage, what do we know about Yeats’ life?A. Yeats founded the first Irish theatre.B. Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry.C. Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.D. Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Nobel Prize.58. What kind of feeling is expressed in W. H. Auden’s lines?A. EnvyB. SympathyC. EmptinessD. Admiration59. What is the passage mainly about?A. Yeats’ literary achievements.B. Yeats’ historical influence.C. Yeats’ artistic ambition(雄心).D. Yeats’ national honor.BIn Indonesian 2-year-old boy who hit the headlines last month due to a 40-a-day cigarette addiction has reportedly cut down to 15-a-day from 40, after the child received treatment.Images of a two-year-old boy smoking cigarettes have shocked people in Indonesia. The little boy, Ardi Rizal from Sumatra, is addicted to nicotine and smokes 40 cigarettes a day. His father, Mohammed Rizal, thinks there’s no problem with his son’s bad habit. He told reporters that his child looked healthy and that it was the only thing that was important. He went on to explain how Ardi took up smoking when he was 18 months old. That was when he gave his son his first cigarette. Now he’s totally hooked; he screams if his father doesn’t let him smoke.Ardi’s story is part of a worrying trend in Indonesia. It has one of the worst smoking records in the world, with a population of 250 million people. Government statistics show 25 percent of Indonesia teenagers have smoked and that about 3percent are regular smokers.Indonesia is the world’s third largest smoking nation. It is reported that over a third of the country smokes, and 90% of the countr y’s smokers smoke a native cigarette which has twice the levels of tat and nicotine in an average cigarette used around the world. Cigarettes are everywhere and smoking is still seen as a socially acceptable practice. Many people in the country do not know the health risks connected with smoking.Health Minister Endang Sedyaningsih said preventing youngsters from smoking would be very difficult because people believe smoking is a good thing. She said tobacco companies are well like because they sponsor many things from education to sporting and public events. She added, “ This is the challenge we face in protecting youth from the danger of smoking”.60. Why did the Indonesian boy hit the headlines?A. Because he smoked too much for his age.B. Because his parents were both heavy smokers.C. He fought against smoking.D. Because his parents forbid him to smoke.61. What does the underlined word “hooked” mean in the second paragraph?A. CuriousB. TiredC. AddictedD. Eager62. Indonesians who smoke regularly _________.A. are seen as anti-social people.B. sometimes worry about their health.C. can’t realize the harm to them.D. receive good education.63. It’s not easy to forbid the youth to smoke because___________.A. the government is in favor of smokingB. smoking is not considered a bad thing.C. tobacco companies encourage people to smoke.D. the youth have formed the habit of smoking.CGeorge Prochnik would like the world to put a sock in it. He makes his case in a new book, listening for Meaning in a World of Noise.Here he explains himself(using his indoor voice):“We’ve become so accustomed to noise, there’s almost a deep prejudice against the idea that silence might be beneficial. If you tell someone to be quiet, you should like an old man. But it’s never been more important to find continuingquiet. Silence focuses us, improves our health, and is a key to lasting peace and satisfaction.“We need to excite people about the sounds you start to hear if you merely quiet things down a little. During a Japanese tea ceremony, the smallest sounds become a kind of art-----the spoons making a light ringing sound on a bowl, the edges of a kimono(和服) brushing against the floor.“Deaf people are very attentive(专注的) in almost every aspect of life. If two deaf people are walking together, using sign language, they constantly watch out for each other and protect each other by paying steady attention to the other. They are concerned yet also fully aware of their surroundings. Even deaf teenagers! We in the heating world can learn from them. If we remove the powerful blasts(一阵阵) of noise, we become aware of an extraordinarily rich world around us-----of little soft sounds and the sound of footsteps, of bird songs and ice cracking(开裂声). It’s astonishing how beautiful things sound when you really listen.”64. What does the phrase “to put a sock in it” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. to be quietB. to be colorfulC. to be full of loveD. to be attentive to someone65. What does Prochnik say about us?A. We are used to quietnessB. We have to put up with noise.C. We do not think silence to be beneficial.D. We do not believe lasting peace to be available66. Which of the following is true according to Prochnik?A. We need more sounds in our lives.B. There is nothing to be learned from the deaf.C. We are not aware how rich the world around us is.D. There is too much noise at a Japanese tea ceremony.67. It can be inferred from the text that ________.A. we can benefit a lot from old people.B. it is a good idea to use sign language.C. there is no escape from the world of sound.D. it is possible to find how beautiful things sound.DEarthquakes strike suddenly at any time of the day or night, but there’s noway to tell them. If an earthquake happens, it may cause many deaths and injuries and great damage. Decide how and where your family will get together if separated. Choose an out-of-state friend or relative that the family members can call after the quake to report where they are and how they are. Know the safe place in each room: under the strong tables, desks, or against inside walls. Keep enough food, water and other things, including a flashlight, a radio, medicines and clothing. During the earthquake, you should keep a clear head and never be too nervous to know what to do. Protect your head and neck with your arms. If possible, take a book, a pillow or any other things to protect yourself from falling glass and ruins. If you are indoors, you must immediately lie under any strong furniture. If outdoors, move to an open area away from trees, buildings, walls and power poles. If you are in a narrow valley, move to the centre of it and look out for falling stones. If you are in a car, move to the side of the road and stop the car. Do not stop near buildings, power lines or under bridges. Stay in your car until the shaking stops.Do not move a badly injured person unless he is in great danger after the earthquake. Do not use the telephone immediately unless there is a serious injury or fire. Turn on your radio for instructions and news report. Be prepared for aftershocks.

As far as I’m concerned, travelling can not only enrich my knowledge but also broaden my horizons. Besides, it can relax me and help me keep away from the pressure of study.

These media include newspapers, magazines, televisions, radios and outdoor signs. Advertisers buy space in newspaper and magazine to publish their ads. They buy time on television and radio to broadcast their commercials.One of the several advantages is that most adults read a daily newspaper, and many of them specifically check the ads for information about products, services, or special sales.A main advantage of television to advertisers is that it brings sight, sound, and action directly to consumers in their home. And one advantage of advertising on radio is that people can listen to programs while doing other things, such as driving a car or working at home.Magazines are usually read in a leisurely manner and are often kept for weeks or months before being discarded. While large, colorful outdoor signs, which people pass by repeatedly, easily attract attentions.Other ways of advertising include the use of transportation, window displays, point-of-sale, telephone directories, and novelties.。
