省市高考英语阅读理解〔暑假〕训练〔4〕及答案They wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories(配饰).Yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies.A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favouring the same high street looks worn by those half their age.Professor Julia Twigg, a social policy expert , said ,“W omen over 75 are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s .In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter . It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years — now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to .Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly . 〞Professor Twigg analysed family expending〔支出〕data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same—at 5 or 6 per cent of spending—the amount of clothes bought had risen sharply.The professor said,“Clothes are now 70 per cent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East. In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from, but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere. Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them.〞Fashion designer Angela Barnard ,who runs her own fashion business in London ,said older women were much more affected by celebrity(名流) style than in previous years .She said ,“When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties ,they want to follow them . Older women are much more aware of celebrities .There’s also the boom in TV programmes showing people how they can change their look, and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties . When I started my business a few years ago ,my older customers tended to be very rich, but now they are what I would call ordinary women .My own mother is 61 and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have doneten years ago.〞13. Professor Twigg found that ,compared with the 1960s,_______.A. the price of clothes has generally fallen by 70%B. the spending on clothes has increased by 5% or 6%C. people spend 30% less than they did on clothesD. the amount of clothes bought has risen by 5% or 6%14. What can we learn about old women in terms of fashion？A. They are often ignored by fashion designers .B. They are now more easily influenced by stars .C. They are regarded as pioneers in the latest fashion .D. They are more interested in clothes because of their old age .15. It can be concluded that old women tend to wear the latest fashions today mainly becauseA. they get tired of things more quicklyB. TV shows teach them how to change their lookC. they are in much better shape nowD. clothes are much cheaper than before16. Which is the best possible title of the passage ?A. Age Is No Barrier for Fashion Fans .B. The More Fashionable ,the Less Expensive.C. Unexpected Changes in Fashion.D. Boom of the British Fashion Industry.D)ABDA************************************************************结束More surprising,perhaps,than the current difficulties of traditional marriage is the fact that marriage itself is alive and increasing.As Skolnick notes,Americans are a marrying people:relative to Europeans,more of us marry at youngerage.Moreover,after falling in the early 1970s,the rate of marriage in the United States is now increasing.Even the divorce rates need to be taken in this pro-marriage context:some 80 percent of divorced individuals remarry.Thus,marriage remains,by far,the preferred way of life for the vast majority of people in our society.What has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family.Twenty-five years ago,the typical American family consisted of a husband,a wife,and two or three children.Now,there are many marriages in which couples have decided not to have any children.And there are many marriages where at least some of the children are from the wife's previous marriage,or the husband's,or both,sometimes these children spend all of their time with one parent from the former marriage;sometimes they are shared between two former spouses.Thus,one can find every type of family arrangement.There are marriages without children;marriages with children for only the present marriage;marriageswith“full-time〞children from both the present and former marriages;marriages with“full-time〞children from the present marriage and“part-time〞children from former marriages.There are stepfathers,stepmothers,half-brothers,andhalf-sisters.It is not all that unusual for a child to have four parents and eight grandparents!These are enormous changes from the traditional nuclear family.But even so,even in the midst of all this,there remains one constant:most Americans spend most of their adult lives married.13.By calling Americans marrying people the author means that__________.A.Americans are more traditional than EuropeansB.Americans expect more out of marriage than EuropeansC.there are more married couples in the USA than in EuropeD.more of Americans as compared with Europeans,prefer marriage and they accept itat a younger age14.Which of the following can be presented as the picture of today's American families?A.A typical American family consists of only a husband and a wife.B.Many types of family arrangements have become socially acceptable.C.Americans prefer to have more kids than before.D.There are no nuclear families any more.15.The“nuclear family〞refers to___________.A.families formed up by men or women working for nuclear power stationsB.married couples who are closely matchedC.family consists of married couples who do not want to have any childD.family with small number of members16.“Part-time〞children________]A.spend some of their time with their half-brothers and some of their time withtheir half-sistersB.spend all of their time with one parent from the previous marriageC.are shared between the two former spousesD.cannot stay with“full-time〞children参考答案 / DBCC /********************************************************结束阅读以下短文，从每题所给的四个选项〔A、B、C和D〕中，选出最正确选项。

AAny foreigner who has tried to learn Chinese can tell how hard it is to master the tones required to speak and understand. And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges.Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese. Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience，researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch(音调)．One of the study’s authors，Nina Kraus，said the findings suggested that studying music “actually tunes our sensory system”．This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs，Dr.Kraus said. She said music training might also help children with language problems.Mandarin(普通话)speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding(编码) of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do. This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages，pitch plays a central role. A single­syllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned.For this study，the researchers looked at 20 non­Chinese speaking volunteers，half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years.As they were shown a movie，the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word “mi” in three of its meanings：squint，bewilder and rice. The researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds. Those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds.The lead author of the study，Patrick C．M.Wong，said it might work both ways. It appears that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments.1. When learning Chinese，a foreigner will find ________.A．he has a difficult time learning music at the same timeB．he has an easier time learning music at the same timeC．it is hard to master the tones required to speak and understand D．it is easy to use the brain to help him discover changes in pitch 2. Why does Chinese learning have something to do with music training?A．Because there is the same difficulty in learning Chinese and music.B．Because skills to learn the two make use of the same parts of thebrain.C．Because music training might help people with language study.D．Because people who do well in Chinese study do well in music. 3. The underlined word “intoned” in the fourth paragraph can be replaced by the word “____”．A．created B．spelledC．seemed D．pronounced4. What would be the best title for this passage?A．Mandarin Speakers Are Smarter than English SpeakersB．Skilled Ear for Music May Help Language StudyC．Pitch Plays a Central Role in Chinese LearningD．Schools Need to Develop Music Programs[参考答案 1—4、CBDB*********************************************************结束阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

White had two reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wantedto use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised ￡70,000 forthe British charity, Oxfam. White's second reason for making the trip was to breakthe world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June 2004 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than 1,300 hours in the saddle(车座) and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had. The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For 1,000 kilometres he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr. White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures.65. When Phil White returned from his trip, he ________.A. broke the world recordB. collected money for OxfamC. destroyed several bikesD. travelled about 1,300 hours66.

AHe almost didn’t see the old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front her Mercedes and got out.Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe; he looked poor and hungry. He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt.He said, “I am here to help you, ma’am. Why don’t you wait in the ca r where it’s warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.”Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was just passing through. She couldn’t thank him enough for coming to her aid.Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened, had he not stopped. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were many people who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, “And think of me.”He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight.1. This story most probably took place_______.A. in a garageB. on a highwayC. in a busy streetD. near a gas station2. When the man approached the old lady, the first thing he did was to______.A. ask what was wrong with her carB. get the old lady out of her carC. change her tire as soon as possibleD. make her know he wanted to help her3. The underlined part in Paragraph 6 suggests that________.A. the old lady had got ready to pay the manB. the old lady was grateful to the manC. the man had a lot of difficulty changing the tireD. the man didn’t stop changing the tire4. Which of the following words can best describe the man?A. Warm-hearted and sensitive.B. Careful and serious.C. Thoughtful and helpful.D. Generous and open-minded.5. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______________.A. the man was happy after helping the old ladyB. the man received a lot of money from the old ladyC. the man made the old lady feel cold and depressedD. the man felt extremely frustrated all the way homeBDBCA***************************************************结束BThe following are four books that will help you change your mind and change your life.1) You Can Heal Your Life, Louise Hay: A groundbreaking book when it was released in 1982. It is still the book that I turn to when I have physical unrest that requires deeper understanding. Louise Hay is the pioneer in looking at the connection between the physical unrest that we have in our body and the emotional connection. At the time that she wrote the book many people scoffed at this idea, but it is now widely accepted and millions of people refer to it on a daily basis.2) The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz: Maintaining a sense of reliability and faith is developed through understanding to The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz written in 1997. We are faced with rules and regulations; don’t do this, don’t do that, watch what you are doing, be kind, loyal, faithful etc. The four agreements represent a simple system of maintaining your own inner authority while practicing being a true person with other people.3) Slowing Down to the Speed of Life, Richard Carlson and Joseph Bailey: This is a new one in my “bedside collection” and one that has made the biggest impact on me lately. Written in 1997, it is even more relevant today than it was when it was written. Th e idea of “slowing down” to get there faster was extremely hard for me to understand. As a human species we seem to enjoy moving fast and expecting quick results, especially from ourselves. I should be successful now, I should be slim now, get me to my destination now—in contrast to “in the fullness of ti m e” when I am ready.4) The Game of Life and How to Play It, Florence Scovel-Shinn: A classic book that was first published in 1925 and remains one of my favorite books of all time. Scovel-Shinn understood the power of our words to express either our deepest desires or our most horrible nightmares.So where does this leave you? The way I see it is if you want to ‘Heal Your Life”then you had better learn how to play “The Game of Life” by learning how to “Slo w Down to the Speed of Life” and keep the “Four Agreements”. The solution may not be easy to do but it is simple. In fact, most solutions are pretty simple, and it is us humans that want to complicate it.6. According to the author, people who are lacking in personal freedom should read______.A. You Can Heal Your LifeB. The Four AgreementsC. Slowing Down to the Speed of LifeD. The Game of Life and How to Play It7. Which of the following books did the author read most recently?A. Slowing Down to the Speed of LifeB. The Four AgreementsC. You Can Heal Your LifeD. The Game of Life and How to Play It8. In which part of a magazine would you probably find this passage?A. Arts & EntertainmentB. Reference & EducationC. Book ReviewsD. Self Improvement9. In the author’s opinion, the four books _______.A. offer four ways to change our life and mindB. represent four stages of lifeC. represent four attitudesD. tell us four interesting storiesBACA**************************************************结束I am not really much of a diet fan, my weight has never been an issue. I eat whatever I want, when I want. But as Pamela McDonald explains diet is not merely a method for controlling weight, but has a significant influence on health and quality of life.I can hardly imagine that living on fried bacon would be a good way to lose weight and promote good overall health. Likewise a steady diet of cabbage soup would likely become somewhat monotonous(单调乏味的) after a couple of days.Pamela McDonald takes a different approach, there is no one-size-fits-all diet, different people need different things. Although all humans are intrinsically(本质地) composed of the same material, the building blocks, our genes, are subtlety different.The author maintains that one part icular part of a person’s DN A, something calledthe APO E gene, has much to do with how our body tolerates foods of different types. This gene comes in 8 varieties and depending on the variety the food requirements are different. This has little to do with weight loss, and has more to do with overall good health. Weight gain is not a ‘problem’ but rather a symptom. A diet alone will not resolve the entire problem, it is merely one part of the larger picture.I have to admit that parts of The APO E Gene Diet were a little heavy going, I appreciate that the author felt the requirement to back up her claims with some scientific data, but for the lay(外行的) man it makes for some rather difficult reading.The second half of the book, is recipes, now this is something I do understand! She has created some very innovative dishes, and certainly more than one that had me feeling hungry just reading them. My favorite of them is a very traditional English dish the Cornish Pasty.An interesting book and one that people should read, you can get your copy from Amazon.1.What’s the writing purpose of the passage?A.To help readers realize the importance of diets.B.To share her reviews of a book about diets.C.To advertise for the Amazon online bookstore.D.To introduce a new way of losing weight.2. What can we learn from Pamela McDonald’s book?A. Different people need different foods to keep fit.B. Humans are completely made up of the same genes.C. Different APO E gene decides if you are healthy.D. Diets alone can successfully help fat people lose weight.3.What’s the shortage of Pamela McDonald’s book?A.It advises people to eat some repeated diets every day to keep slim.B.It supports its arguments with convincing scientific explanation.C.Parts of it are difficult for common readers to understand well.D.It is a heavy book that is too long for many readers to finish.4.What CANNOT we infer from the passage?A. What food we need is decided by the environment we’re brought up.B. Gaining weight indicates there may be something wrong with your health.C. The writer is deeply attracted by the dishes introduced in the book.D. You can learn how to make the Cornish Pasty from the book.5. We can use the following words to describe Pamela McDonald’s book EXCEPT____________?A. interestingB. innovativeC. persuasiveD. humourous参考答案 1---5 B A C A D******************************************************结束CNASA’s twin Mars rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, have been exploring the Red Planet since 2004. But a little more than a year ago, NASA lost contact with Spirit. The space agency has tried several ways to make contact with the rover, but Spirit has not sent back any signals.Spirit landed on Mars on January 4, 2004. Three weeks later, Opportunity arrived. Soon a fter, the rovers went to the opposite side of Mars. Spirit’s original mission was only designed to last for three months, but Spirit has worked for more than five years doing additional missions. Both rovers have made important discoveries about ancient Mars. They have taken thousands of images and found evidence in the rocks of a water, warmer past in Mars’ history.Spirit is solar-powered. It got stuck in a sand trap in April 2009, trapped deep into the soil and with its wheels turning around and around but not able to move forwards or backwards. Spirit had to agree that there is nothing that can be done to change the situation—it’s never going to move again. However, even if it is a not moving station, it can still study the planet’s atmosphere and deep i nterior. NASA has been concentrating on trying to position its solar panels to get as much energy from the sun as possible, or to get the rover leaning in a manner that will allow the most amount of sunlight falling on its solar panels, in order to keep it alive during the coming winter months. Engineers have planned to rock the vehicle back and forth to acquire a more favorable position. However, no matter how many efforts have been made, Spirit still could not get out of the soft soil and could not lean itself toward the sun as the Martian winter approached. Without enough energy reaching its solar panels and with so little energy in its batteries, it went into hibernation, just like a polar bear, and has not communicated with Earth since March 22, 2010.Whatever the future holds for Spirit, its mission has been an outstanding success.When it landed on the Red Planet in January 2004, no one was really sure how long it would continue working in the cold and dusty environment. As a matter of fact, three months was its original goal.After so many fruitless efforts, NASA scientists are losing hope of ever reconnecting with Spirit, but they will give it one more try. Ground controllers are contacting Spirit over a range of frequencies and at different times during the day in case its internal clock stopped working and it lost track of time. They also are commanding the rover to turn on its backup radio transmitter in case the main one is dead.If this final effort to connect isn’t successful, NASA will shift the focus to its twin robot, Opportunity, which is in a different part of Mars. Opportunity is still on the move and continues to travel freely to this day. It has traveled 16.6 miles so far, and is currently rolling towards another crater it has yet to explore. NASA has spent more than $900 million on the project but shows no sign of giving up on these determined and hard-working robots. The rovers are, though, experiencing gradual wear and tear, the expected damage to something caused by using it repeatedly over a period of time. Even before Spirit got trapped, one of its wheels had failed. And NASA says it’s just a matter of time before both robots break down completely.10. According to the passage, what can we know about Spirit?A. It had explored Mars several times.B. Its original mission was to work for five years.C. It landed on Mars three weeks later than Opportunity.D. It discovered that Mars was once a warm and wetter place.11. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT what NASA did?A. Try to lean Spirit to make it get as much sunlight as possible.B. Rock Spirit back and forth to make it acquire a more favorable position.C. Make efforts to help Spirit get out of the soft soil where it is stuck.D. Contact and order Spirit to turn on its backup radio transmitter.12. The reason why Spirit failed to communicate with the Earth is that ________.A. it didn’t have enough energyB. it had finished its taskC. something was wrong with its wheelsD. it met an unidentified creature13. By saying “NASA will shift the focus” in Paragraph 7, the author means that ______.A. NASA will move the center of Spirit out of the sandB. NASA will depend on Opportunity to do the explorationC. NASA will do nothing but wait for some opportunityD. NASA will make opportunity help Spirit14. The last paragraph mainly informs us that _______.A. NASA has planned to spend more money on SpiritB. Spirit will be brought back to EarthC. Spirit will stop operating totally in the futureD. Spirit will cause damage to Mars15. What’s the text mainly about?A. NASA makes the last effort to contact Spirit.B. Spirit has made many important discoveries on Mars.C. How Spirit got stuck and couldn’t move on Mars.D. Why NASA tried many ways to contact Spirit.DBABCA**************************************************结束D“What is the most important thing you’ve done in your life?” The question was put to me during a presentation I gave to a group of lawyers.The answer came to me in an instant. It’s not the one I ga ve, because the situation was not right. As a lawyer in the entertainment industry, I knew the audience wanted to hear some amusing stories about my work with well-known people. But here’s the true answer:The most important thing I’ve ever done occurred o n October 8, 1990. I began the day playing tennis with an old friend I hadn’t seen for a while. Between points we talked about what had been happening in each other’s lives. He and his wife had just had a baby boy, who was keeping them up at night.While we were playing, a car came screaming up the road toward the courts. It was my friend’s father, who shouted to my friend that his baby had stopped breathing and was being rushed to the hospital. In a flash my friend wasin the car and gone, disappearing in a cloud of dust.For a moment I just stood there, paralyzed(呆若木鸡). Then I tried to figure out what I should do. Follow my friend to the hospital? There was nothing I could accomplish there, I convinced myself. My friend’s son was in the care of doctors and nurses, and nothing I could do or say would affect the outcome. Be there for moral support? Well, maybe. But my friend and his wife both had large families, and I knew they’d be surrounded by relatives who would provide more than enough comfort and support, whatever happened. All I could do at the hospital, I decided, was to get in the way. Also, I had planned a full day with my family, who were waiting for me to get home. So I decided to head back to my house and check in my friend later. As I started my car, I realized that my friend had left his truck and keys at the courts. I now faced another problem. I couldn’t leave the keys in the truck. So I decided to go to the hospital and give him the keys.When I arrived, I was directed to a room where my friend and his wife were waiting. As I had thought, the room was filled with family members silently watching my friend comfort his wife. I went in and stood by the door, trying to decide what to do next. Soon a doctor appeared. He approached my friend and his wife, and in a quiet voice told them that their son had died.For a long time the two held each other and cried, unaware of the rest of us standing around in pained silence. After they had calmed themselves, the doctor suggested they spend a few moments with their son.My friend and his wife stood up and walked past their families. When they reachedthe door, my friend saw me standing in the corner. He came over and hugged me and started to cry. My friend’s wife hugged me, too, and said, “Thanks for being here.”For the rest of that morning, I sat in the emergency room of that hospital and watched my friend and his wife hold the body of their infant son, and say goodbye. It’s the most important thing I have ever done.The experience taught me two lessons.First: The most important thing I’ve ever done happened when I was completely helpless. None of the things I had learned in university, in three years of law school or in six years of legal practice were of any use in that situation. Something terrible was happening to people I cared about, and I was powerless to change the outcome. All I could do was standing by and watching it happen. And yet it was critical that I do just that—just be there when someone needed me.Second: The most important thing I’ve done almost didn’t happen because of thingsI had learned in classroom and professional life. Law school taught me how to takea set of facts, break them down and organized them. These skills are critical for lawyers. When people come to us for help, they’re often stressed out and depend on a lawyer to think logically. But while learning to think, I almost forget how to feel. Today I have no doubt that I should have leapt into my car without hesitation and followed my friend to the hospital.From that one experience I learned that the most important thing in life isn’t the money you make, the status you attain or the honors you achieve. The most important thing in life is the kids’ team you coach or the poem you write—or the time when you’re just somebody’s friend.16. When he was asked about the most important thing he had done in life at a presentation, the author __________.A felt it was not an interesting questionB. thought for a while and spoke his mindC. gave an answer from a lawyer’s point of viewD. didn’t give the real answer17. When he saw his friend rush to the hospital, the author could not decide whether to follow mainly because he thought _________.A. he had to stay with his familyB. his friend did not need his helpC. he would not be of much helpD. the baby woul d be in the doctor’s care18. The purpose of the author’s description of the scene at the hospital is to informus that ______.A. he found out that he was in the wayB. he would have felt guilty if he had not been thereC. he regretted that he went too laterD. his friend would have felt better if he had not been there19.

AMy newly-rented small apartment was far away from the centre of London and it was becoming essential for me to find a job, so finally I spent a whole morning getting to town and putting my name down to be considered by London Transport for a job on the underground. They were looking for guards, not drivers. This suited me. I couldn’t drive a car but thought that I could probably guard a train, and perhaps continue to write my poems between stations. The writers Keats and Chekhov had been doctors. T.S. Eliot had worked in a bank and Wallace Stevens for an insurance company. I’d be a subway guard. I could see myself being cheerful, useful, a good man in a crisis. Obviously I’d be overqualified but I was willing to forget about that in return for a steady income and travel privileges —those being particularly welcome to someone living a long way from the city centre.The next day I sat down, with almost a hundred other candidates, for the intelligence test. I must have done all right because after about half an hour’s wait I was sent into another room for a psychological test. This time there were only about fifty candidates. The interviewer sat at a desk. Candidates were signaled forward to occupy the seat opposite him when the previous occupant had been dismissed, after a greater or shorter time. Obviously the long interviews were the more successful ones. Some of the interviews were as short as five minutes. Mine was the only one that lasted a minute and a half.I can remember the questions now: “Why did you leave your last job?〞“Why did you leave your job before that?〞“And the one before that?〞I can’t recall my answers, except that they were short at first and grew progressively shorter. His closing statement, I thought, revealed a lack of sensitivity which helped to explain why as a psychologist, he had risen no higher than the underground railway. “You’ve failed the psychological test and we are unable to offer you a position.〞Failing to get that job was my low point. Or so I thought, believing that the work was easy. Actually, such jobs — being a postman is another one I still desire —demand exactly the sort of elementary yet responsible awareness that the habitual dreamer is least qualified to give. But I was still far short of full self-understanding. I was also short of cash.41．The writer applied for the job chiefly because _________.A．he wanted to work in the centre of LondonB．he could no longer afford to live without oneC．he was not interested in any other available jobD．he had received some suitable training42．The writer thought he was overqualified for the job because _________.A．he often traveled underground B．he had written many poemsC．he could deal with difficult situations D．he had worked in a company 43．The length of his interview meant that _________.A．he was not going to be offered the job B．he had not done well in the intelligence testC．he did not like the interviewer at all D．he had little work experience to talk about44．What does the writer realize now that he did not realize then?A．How unpleasant ordinary jobs can be. B．How difficult it is to be a poet.C．How unsuitable he was for the job. D．How badly he did in the interview. 45．What’s the writer’s opinion of the psychologist?A. He was very aggressive〔有进取心的〕.B. He was unhappy with his job.C. He was quite inefficient.D. He was rather unsympathetic.参考答案41-45 BCACD***************************************************************结束(第篇)We have met the enemy, and he is ours. We bought him at a pet shop. When monkey pox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, it’ s hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. “Most of the infections (感染) we think of as human infections started in other animals，〞 says Stephen Morse, director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.It’ s not just that we’ re going to where the animals are；we’ re also bringing them closer to us. Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country.A strange illness killed Is aksen’ s pets, and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea. “I don’ t think it’ s fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them，〞 says Isaksen.“Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas wi thout stricter control need changing，〞says Peter Schantz. Monkey pox may be the_wake up_call. Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug (病毒) may be kind at first.

American researchers have put together a 700-year record of the rainy seasons, which is expected to provide guidance for experts making weather predictions.Every year, moist 〔潮湿的〕air masses，known as monsoon，produce large amounts of rainfall in India, East Asia, Northern Australia and East Africa. All this wet air is pulled in by a high pressure area over the Indian Ocean and a low pressure area to the south.According to Edward Cook , a weather expert at Columbia University in New York., the complex nature of the climate systems across Asia makes monsoons hard to predict. In addition, climate records for the area are too recent and not detailed enough to be of much use. Therefore, he and a team of researchers spent more than fifteen years traveling across Asia, looking for trees old enough to provide long-term records. They measured the rings, or circles, inside thousands of ancient trees in more than 300 places.Rainfall has a direct link to the growth and width of rings on some kinds of trees. The researchers developed a document they are calling a Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas. It shows the effect of monsoons over seven centuries, beginning in the 1300s.Professor Cook says the tree-ring records show periods of wet and dry weather. “If the monsoon basically fa ils or is a very weak one, the trees affected by monsoons at that location might put on a very narrow ring. But if the monsoon is very strong, the trees affected by that monsoon might put on a wide ring for that year. So, the wide and narrow ring widths of the chronology that we developed in Asia provide us with a measure of monsoon variability.〞 With all this information, researchers say they can begin to improve computer climate models for predicting the behavior of monsoons.“There has been widespread fa mine and starvation and human dying in the past in large droughts. And on the other hand, if the monsoon is particularly heavy, it can cause extensive flooding.〞said Eugene Wahl, a scientist with America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “So, to get a sense of what the regional moisture patterns have been, dryness and wetness over such a long period of time in great detail, I would call it a kind of victory for climate science.〞55.What’sthe passage mainly about？A. The effects of Asian monsoons.B. The necessity of weather forecast.C. The achievements of Edward cook.D. A breakthrough in monsoon prediction.56. It is difficult for experts to predict Asian monsoons because_________A. it is hard to keep long-term climate records.B. they are formed under complex climate systems.C. they influence many nations.D. there is heavy rainfall in Asia.57. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Long and details climate records can offer useful information for monsoon research.B. The Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas has a monsoon record for about 1,300 years.C. The trees affected by monsoon grow fast if the monsoon is weak.D. The rainfall might be low although the monsoon is strong in monsoon-affected areas.58. According to Professor Cook, the rings of the trees ____________A. determine the regional climate.B. have a great influence on the regional climate.C. offer people information about the regional climate.D. reflect all kinds of regional climate information.59. What do we know about the research according to Eugene Wahl?A. It is a great achievement in climate science.B. It should include information about human life in the past.C. It has analysed moisture models world wide,D. It will help people prevent droughts and floods.60. Which of the following best describes the tone of this passage?A. Matter-of –factB. PessimisticC. HumorousD. Friendly.参考答案55-60DBACAA********************************************************结束第二节书面表达 (总分值30分)公共自行车作为杭城的特色，是国内城市首创。
