杭州外国语学校2013年高考英语集训阅读理解每日一练04倒数第十周星期四AOne day, Mr. Arnold was teaching a lesson, and things were going as normally as ever. He was explaining the story of mankind to his pupils. He told them that, in the beginning, men were nomads; they never stayed in the same place for very long. Instead ，they would travel about, here and there, in search of food, wherever it was to be found. And when the food ran out, they would move off somewhere else. He taught them about the invention of farming and keeping animals. This was an important discovery, because by learning to cultivate(耕作)the land, and care for animals, mankind would always hav e food steadily available. It also meant that people could remain living in one place, and this made it easier to set about tasks that would take a long while to complete, like building towns, cities, and all that were in them. All the children were listening attracted by this story, until Lucy jumped up:“And if that was so important and improved everythi ng so much, why are we nomads all over again, Mr. Arnold?”Mr. Arnold didn’t know what to say. Lucy was a very intelligent girl. He knew that she lived with her parents in a house, so she must know that her family were not nomads; so what did she mean?“We have all become nomads again,” continued Lucy, “The other day, outside the city, they were cutting the forest down. A while ago a Gsherman told me how they fish. It’s the same with everyone: when there’s no more forest left the foresters go elsewhere, and when the fish run out the fishermen move on. That’s what the nomads did, isn’t it?9，The teacher nodded, thoughtfully. Really, Lucy was right Mankind had turned into nomads. Instead of looking after the land in a way that we could be sure it would keep sup plying our needs, we kept developing it until the land was bare. And then off we would go to the next place! The class spent the rest of t he afternoon talking a bout what they could do to show how to be more civilized.The next day everyone attended class wearing a green T-shirt, with a message that said “I am not a nomad!”And ，from then on, they set about showing that indeed they were not. Every time they knew they needed something, they made sure that they would get it using care and control. If they needed wood or paper, they would make sure that they got the recycled kind. They ordered their fish from fish farms, making sure that the fish they received were not too young and too small. They only used animals that were well cared for, and brought up on farms.And so, from their little town, those children managed to give up being nomads again, just as prehistoric men had done, so many thousands of years ago.1. Why would early humans travel abo ut in the beginning?A. To experience different lifestyles.B. To go sightseeing in different places.C. To find what they could to feed themselves.D.

The writer tries to make us believe that ______.A. mankind has been progressing mainly through traveling aboutB. it’s unwise for mankind to use the land in an uncontrolled wayC. if S quite good for students to learn more about the history of mankindD. teachers should encourage students to voice their own opinions bravelyIt’s nice to have friends. Sometimes you need one person to talk to. You can play games, hang out or even just talk on the phone. Consider these suggestions to meet people and form strong, lasting friendships. Well, take your time, and don’t rush. ♦Join an organization or a club with people who have common interests. You don’t necessarily have a lot of common interests with people in order to make friends with them. But if you have something in common with them, it can make it a lot easier to talk to them and plan activities. Whatever your age and whatever your interests, there is an organization or a club for yo u. Social networking sites such as Facebook , Twitter are also a great way to meet new people and learn more about them. ♦Join a sports team. As long as you enjoy the sport and support your teammates, joining a local team with a laid-back attitude could be a great way to make new friends. A sports team isn’t the only way. If you play instruments or sing ，try joining a band. ♦Make small talk. Keep the conversation light and cheery. Even if you’re complaining about something, make sure it’s something you’re both dissatisfied with, and emphasize the positive —how such a situation can be avoided in the future. Many conversationalists say that it is good to follow a 30/70 (30% talking, 70% listening) pattern during small talk when possible. ♦Ask them out for lunch or coffee. That will give you a better opportunity to talk and get to know each other a little bit better. A good way to extend yourself is to say: “Hey, well, I've got to go, but if you ever want to talk over lunch or coffee or anything like that, let me give you my number or e-mail address.” This gives theperson the opportunity to get in touch with you; they may or may not give you their information in return, but that’s fine. Maybe they don’t have time for new friends~~don’t take it personally! Just offer your information to whoever seems to be potentially a good friend, and eventually somebody will get in touch.♦Be loyal(忠诚的）to a friend.You've probably heard of fair-weather friends. They’re the ones who are happy to be around you when things arc going well ，but are nowhere to be found when you really need them. Part of being a friend is being prepared to spare time and energy in order to help out your friends. If a friend needs help with an unpleasant thing, or if he or she just needs a shoulder to cry on ，be there. If your friends make a joke ，laugh with them. Never complain about a friend.♦ Be a good listener.Many people think that in order to be seen as ‘friend material’ they have to appear veryinteresting. Far more important than this ，however, is the ability to show that you’re interested in others. Listen carefully to what people say, remember important details about them (their names, their likes and dislikes), ask questions about their interests, and j ust take the lime to learn more about them. You don’t want to be the guy or girl that always has a better story than anyone else or that changes the subject suddenly instead of continuing the flow of conversation.♦ Be trustworthy.One of the best things about having a friend is that you have someone to whom you can talk aboutanything, even secrets that you hide from the rest of the world. The key to being a good friend is the ability to keep secrets, so it’s no se cret that you shouldn’t tell other people things that were told to you in confidence.6. According to the given information, what quality do you need to have if you want to make friends?A. Patience.B. Curiosity.C. Bravery.D. Humor.7. Those who can enjoy a happy life together but it’s hard to go through hardness hand in hand are________A. loyal friendsB. close friendsC. dishonest friendsD. fair-weather friends8. While having a conversation with your friends, you should avoid_______.A. applying the 30/70 patternB. talking t oo much about yourselfC. showing interest in their topicsD. knowing more details about them9. To be a reliable friend ，you'd better_______.A. have some common interests with your friendsB. find something to complain about with your friendsC. keep the secrets that your friends have told youD. exchange your personal information with your friendsCHow good are you at saying “no”？For many, it’s surprisingly difficult. This is especially true of editors, who by nature tend to be eager and engaged participants in everything they do. Consider these scenes:It’s late in the day. That front-page package you’ve been working on is nearly complete; the last editing and it’s finished. Then enters the chief editor, who makes a suggestion requiring a more-than-modest rearrangement of the design and the addition of an information box. You want to scream: “No! It’s done!” What do you do?The first rule of saying no to the boss is ‘don’t say no，. He probably has something in mind w hen he makes the suggestion, and it’s up to you to find out what. The second rule is 'don't raise the risks by challenging his authority，. That issue is already decided. The third rule is ‘be ready to put forward choi ces and consequences，. The boss’s suggestion might be appropriate, but there are always consequences. He might not know about the pages backing up that need attention ，or about the designer who had to go home sick. TeII him he can have what he wants, hut explain the consequences. Understand what he’s trying to accomplish and propose(提议）a Flan B that will make it happen without destroying what you’ve done so far.Here’s another case. Your least-favorite repor ter suggests a silly story idea. This one should be easy, but it’s not. If you say no, even politely, you risk holding back further ideas, not just from that reporter, but from others who heard that you turned down the idea. This case is common in newsrooms that lack a systematic way to filter(过滤）story suggestions.Two steps are necessary. First, you need a system for how stories are proposed and reviewed. Reporters can bear rejection of their ideas if they believe they are given a fair hearing. Your natural reaction and strong rejection, even of a worthless idea, might not qualify as systematic or fair.Second, the people you work with need to make a “What if ".?，，agreement covering ‘‘What if my idea is turned down?，，How are people expected to react? Is there an appeal process? Can they perfect the idea and resubmit it? By imagining “Whatif...?” situations before they happen, you can reach understanding that w ill help ease you out of opposition.10. This passage is mainly about_______.A. the cases where ideas are rejectedB. the ways to give different opinionsC. the skills of saying noD. the methods for solving disagreements11. Instead of directly refusin g your boss’s suggestion, you should_______.A. pretend that you are sickB. seek what he is thinking aboutC. state that your design is quite perfectD. ask him to give the reason for his suggestion12. By saying “This one should be easy •••” (Paragraph 4)，the writer means it’s easy to_______A. understand the silly story ideaB. let others politely say noC. fool your least-favorite reporterD. turn down that reporter’s idea13. Why is it important to set up a system for stories to be proposed and reviewed?A. To allow reporters enough time to change their attitude.B. To develop reporters5 strong sense of fairness.C. To encourage reporters to give valuable ideas.D. To guarantee reporters chances to give further explanations.14. What is conveyed in the last paragraph?A. Sometimes we may view a problem from another angle.B. We m ay relax ourselves by raising questions when we're in trouble.C. “What if …？” situations help improve our relationship with others.D. It’s almost impossible for others to acc ept our ideas at once.DRed roses were her favorites; her name was also Rose. And every year her husband sent them, tied with pretty bows. The year he died, the roses were delivered to her door. The card said, “Be my Valentine(情人)，” like all the years be fore. Each year he sent her roses, and the note would always say, “I love you even more this year, than last year on this day. My love for you will always grow, with every passing year.” She knew this was the last time that the roses would appear. She thought, he ordered roses in advance before this day. Her loving husband did not know that he would pass away. He always liked to do things early. Then, if he got too busy, everything would work out fine. She cut away some stems, placed them in a very special vase, and set the vase beside the picture of his smiling face. She would sit for hours in her husband’s favorite chair, staring at his photo and the roses sitting t here.A year went by, and it was hard to live without her mate. Loneliness and solitude had become her fate. Then, the very hour, as on Valentine’s Day before, the doorbell rang, and there were roses, sitting by her door. She brought the roses in, and just looked at them in shock. Then, she went to get the telephone to call the florist(花匠）shop. The owner answered, and she asked him, if he would explain why someone would do this to her, causing her such pain.“I know your husband passed away, more than a year ago，” the owner said, “Iknew you'd call, and you would want to know. The flowers you received today were paid for in advance. Your husband always planned ahead. He left nothing to chance.”“There is a standing order that I have on file down here. And he has paid, well in advance; you'll get them every year. There is also another thing that I think you should know. He wrote a special little card ... he did this years ago.” “Then, should ever, I find out that he's no longer here. That’s the card ... that should be sent to you the following year.” She thanked him and hung up the phone ，her tears now flowing hard. Her fingers shaking, she slowly reached to get the card. Inside the card, she saw that he had written her a note. Then ，as she stared in total silence, this is what he wrote: “Hello my love, I know it’s been a year since I was gone. I ho pe it hasn’t been too hard for you to overcome. I know it must be lonely, and the pain is very real. If it was the other way, I know how I would feel. The love we shared made everything so beautiful in life. I loved you more than words can say. You were th e perfect wife.”“You were my friend and lover; you satisfied my every need. I know it’s only been a year, but please try not to grieve. I want you to be happy, even when you shed your tears. That is why the roses will be sent to you for years.”“When you get these roses, think of all the happiness that we had together, and how both of us were blessed. I have always loved you and I know I always will. But, my love, you must go on; you have some living still.”“Please ... try to find happiness, while living out your days. I know it is not easy, but I hope you find some ways. The roses will come every year, and they will only stop when your door’s not answered, when the florist stops to knock. He will come five times that day, in case you have gone out. But after his last visit, he will know without a doubt. To take the roses to the place, where I’ve instructed him, and place them where we are, together once again.”15. How did Rose feel when she received roses a year after her husband’s death?A. Surprised and disappointed.B. Happy but confused.C. Proud but frightened.D. Sad and puzzled.16. What can we know about Rose's husband when he was alive?A.
