对口高考英语模拟题库：阅读理解阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AThe clothes you wear. The food you eat. The color of your bedroom walls. Where you go and how you get there. The people you hang around with. What time you go to bed. What do th ese things have in common? You’re asking. They’re just a few examples of many hundreds of things that your parents controlled for you when you were a child.As a kid, you didn’t have a say in everything; your parents made decisions about everything from the cereal you ate in the morning to the pajamas you wore at night. And it’s a good thing, too—kids need this kind of protection on their own.But finally, kids grow up and become teens. And part of being a teen is developing your own identity—one that i s separate from your parents’. But as you change and grow into this new person who makes his own decisions, your parents have a difficult time adjusting (调整).In most families, it is this adjustment that can cause a lot of fighting between teens and parents. And issues like the type of friends you have or your attitudes to partying can cause bigger arguments, because your parents still always want to protect you and keep you safe, no matter how old you are.The good news about fighting with your parents get more comfortable with the idea that their teens have a right to certain opinions. It can take several years for parents and teens to adjust to their new roles, though. In the meantime, focus on communicating with your parents.Sometimes this can feel impossible—like they just don’t see your point of view and never will. But talking and expressing your opinions can help you gain more respect from your parents.Keep in mind, too, that your parents were teens once and that in most cases, they can relate to what you’re going through.36. In the first two paragraphs, the writer .A. complains that parents control kids too muchB. proves that kids have no right to give their opinionsC. describes how carefully parents look after kidsD. explains that it is necessary for parents to control kids37. A lot of fighting breaks out between teens and parents because .A. parents aren’t used to losing control of kidsB. teens like to have everything decidedC. parents blame teens for not respecting themD. teens are eager to develop their own identity38. In the writer’s opinion, parents control teens in order to .A. prevent them from having their own ideasB. protect them from being hurtC. make them respect parents in the familyD. make sure that children have a good future39. The underlined word “this” in paragraph 6 may refer to “”.A. arguing with friendsB. fighting with your parentsC. communicating with parentsD. adjusting to new roles40. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A. What do parents control their children for?B. How parents take care of children?C. How to get rid of your parents’ control?D. Why do I fight with parents so much?BThe invention of the camera goes far into the past. In the 1500s, men were experimenting with cameras that made images. But it was not until the early 1800s that man found a way to make the pictures permanent. Even then, photography was a new field. Most families had their pictures taken by a photographer. People did not own cameras because taking pictures and developing the film were too difficult.In 1884, George Eastman changed photography by inventing a kind of film that fit into a small camera. Because the new film was easy to use, many people began to buy cameras. When they had used up their film, people returned their cameras to the factory. There, the film was developed, and pictures were printed. Then more film was put into the cameras, which was sent back to the owners, along with their pictures.Eastman’s camera made it easy to take pictures. Today’s cameras are even easier to use, and people can put in their own film. Photography has become a growing hobby.There are also many new jobs in the field of photography. One of the most important kinds of work is in news reporting. Newspapers, magazines, and television all need pictures to tell their stories. Photographers aid scientists by taking pictures through microscopes and telescopes. Deep-sea divers take pictures of ocean plants and animals, while astronauts take cameras into space. Man finds new uses for the cameras every day.41. In 1884, George Eastman changed photography by inventing a new kind of _____.A. imageB. factoryC. filmD. camera42.

We think of it as a candy, but once it was a medicine. Today, chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or just a snack. Sometimes it is an ingredient in the main course of a meal. Mexicans make a hot chocolate sauce called mole and pour it over chicken. The Mexicans also eat chocolate with spices like chili peppers.Chocolate is a product of the tropical cacao tree, The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys say“Ugh！”and run away. Workers must first dry and then roast the beans. This removes the bitter taste.The word“chocolate”comes from a Mayan word. The Mayas were an ancient people who once lived in Mexico. They valued the cacao tree. Some used the beans for money, while others crushed them to make a drink.When the Spaniards came to Mexico in the sixteenth century, they started drinking cacao too. Because the drink was strong and bitter, they thought it was a medicine. No one had the idea of adding sugar. The Spaniards took some beans back to Europe and opened cafes. Wealthy people drank cacao and said it was good for digestion.In the 1800s, the owner of a chocolate factory in England discovered that sugraremoved the bitter taste of cacao. It quickly became a cheap and popular drink. Soon afterwards, a factory made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate. Later on, another factory mixed milk and chocolate together. People liked the taste of mike chocolate even better.Besides the chocolate candy bar, one of the most popular American snacks is the chocolate chip cookie. Favorite desserts are chocolate cream pie and of course an ice cream sundae with hot fudge sauce.46. It was that discovered sugar could remove the bitter taste of cacao.A.the workers in the chocolate factoryB.the SpaniardsC.the owner of a chocolate factoryD.the people in England47.

It can be learned from the passage that .A.the Mayas only used cacao beans for drinking in MexicoB.chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or a candy bar.C.chocolate is a product of the cacao treeD.people liked more the taste of solid blocks of sweetened chocolate than that ofchocolate mixed with milkDI travel a lot, and I find out different "styles" (风格) of directions every time 1 ask "How can I get to the post office?"Foreign tourists are often confused (困惑) in Japan because most streets there don't have names in Japan. People use landmarks (地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, "Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop."In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, "Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile."People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. "How far away is the post office?" you ask. "Oh," they answer, "it's about five minutes from here." You say, "Yes, but how many miles away is it?" They don't know.It's true that a person doesn't know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, 'Sorry, I have no idea." But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers "I don't know." People in Yucatan believe that "I don't know" is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!51. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usually _________A. describe the place carefullyB. show him a map of the placeC. tell him the names of the streetsD. refer to recognizable buildings and places52. What is the place where people measure distance in time?A. New York.B. Los Angeles.C. Kansas.D. Iowa.53. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________A. in order to save timeB. as a testC. so as to be politeD. for fun54. Which sentence is true according to the text?A. There is no street names in Japan.B. There is no landmarks in the countryside of American.C. People in Yucatan always give wrong answers when asked the way.D. People in Los Angeles measure distance in time, not miles when asked the way.55. What can we infer from the text?A. It's important for travelers to understand cultural differences.B. It's useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.C. People have similar (相似的) understandings of politeness.D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.阅读理解36-55 DABCD CBAAC CCBAB DBCDA。

AMy father was a self-taught mandolin（一种琵琶乐器）player. He was one of the best string instrument players in our town .He could not read music，but if he heard a tune a few times，he could play it. When he was young，he was a member of a small country music band. They would play at local dances and on a few occasions would play for the local radio station. He often told us how he had auditioned（试音）and earned a position in a band that featured Patsy Cline as their lead singer.Occasionally，Dad would get out his mandolin and play for the family. We three children would often sing along. Dad loved to play the mandolin for his family. He knew we enjoyed singing and hearing him play. He was like that. If he could give pleasure to others，he would，especially his family. I had to mature into a man and have children of my own before I realized how much he had sacrificed.In 1950，our family moved. Dundalk and Dad found a job at Todd Steel. One day he was involved in an accident and got the third index finger of his left hand mashed between two pieces of steel. He didn't lose enough of the finger where it would stop him picking up anything，but it did impact his ability to play the mandolin.After the accident，Dad was reluctant to play the mandolin. He felt that he could not play as well as he used to. When I came home on leave and asked him to play he would make excuses for why he couldn't play. Eventually，we would wear him down and agreed to play. For the family it didn't make any difference that Dad couldn't play as well. We were just glad that he would play.

It then caught fire. By the time we arrived，it was just a pile of ash.”The fireman added: “The entire building had to be evacuated（疏散）and there was severe smoke damage particularly in the flat where the robot had been in use. It's a mystery how it came to be started and ended up making its way to the hotplate. ”It took an hour to clean and make the building safe. The homeowner plans to sue（控告）theproducer of the robot.42. According to the passage，the robot suicided because it ______.A. failed to finish its daily workB. was tired of doing house workC. destroyed a kitchen hotplateD. had to eat spilt cereal43.

Who will probably be responsible for the robot's suicide?A. The firefighter.B. The homeowner.C. The robot's producer.D.

Same with the smog,”says artist Daan Roosegaarde.His studio has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of tile capital's parks.With its skies regularly covered by dirty gray smog，Beijing this week announced a series of emergency measures to handle the problem.Roosegaarde says an indoor model device has already proven it works and is confident that the results — with the help of a team of scientists and engineers — can be replicated outside.“Beijing is quite a good place because the smog in Beijing is quite low. It lies in a valley so there's not so much wind. It's a good environment to explore this kind of thing.”“We'll be able to purify the air and the challenge is to get the top of the smog so you can see the sun again.”Roosegaarde acknowledges that projects like this are a way of drawing attention to the problem，rather than a practical solution to Beijing's awful air pollution.“This is not the real answer for smog. The real answer has to do with clean cars，different industry and different lifestyles.”However，he hopes the project will make a “fundamental statement”by allowing the city's people to realize the difference between breathing clean and smog-filled air.47. The device works by _______.A. helping keep the particles out with more masksB. pulling pollutants to the ground with an electromagnetic fieldC. absorbing hair with a balloon with staticD. creating clean air and let it out into the sky48. According to the passage，_______ .A. the Beijing government has agreed to use the technology in BeijingB. they have proven the results of the device both indoors and outdoorsC. the results of the air-cleaning device can be expectableD. the Beijing government has never done anything to handle the air pollution49. What does Roosegaarde really mean by saying “Beijing is quite a good place...”?A. The air pollution in Beijing is not quite serious.B. The weather in Beijing is good for foreigners to live in.C. Beijing is quite fit for using the air-cleaning device.D. It is easy to get the top of the smog in Beijing.50. The underlined word “replicated”in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”.A. reproducedB. destroyedC. worriedD. described51. Roosegaarde appeals to people in Beijing to ________.A. pay attention to air pollution and solve the problem finallyB. invent more devices to clean the smog in BeijingC. drive modern cars and try different lifestylesD. realize how serious the pollution they're facing is52. According to Roosegaarde，the smog in Beijing is mainly caused by ______.A .the climate changing of the whole worldB. the local industry，cars and lifestylesC. government's emergency measuresD. inefficiency of air-cleaning devicesDThe intelligence times provide us much convenience，but at the same time，some of our abilities are being weakened gradually.1. Memorizing phone numbersIt was annoying to remember numbers. Now we simply add them to our contacts list. That usually works well unless our device is lost，stolen，or damaged. No one can be expected to remember all their contact numbers. What we can do is memorize 5 of our most important contact numbers. This should include a mixture of family，friends and business. If you're really ambitious you can memorize 5 contacts for each category.2. Map-reading skillsThe convenience and effectiveness of GPS guidance systems and digital maps generated by search engines is unquestionable. They've definitely made our lives easier. What we don't get from using these devices and applications is the increased ability to understand spatial orientation （空间方向）and navigation.To renew or acquire those skills，try using physical maps to plan your next trip. After a few trips，you'll be pleasantly surprised with how useful a physical map can be.3. PhotographyEven amateur photography requires a basic learning about lighting，depth，and composition. This is true for digital photography. Most smart cameras automatically make these adjustments. We no longer have to learn the art of photography. On most devices，this is easily changed by turning off the automatic settings. Experiment with setting by hand the scene modes，lighting，and zoom. You just may learn that you're a “true photographer”.4. Reading comprehensionThe primary cause is E-reader. They're convenient and can store thousands of books. But there's evidence that E-reader makes it more difficult for readers to keep and recall information they just read. Don't worry! What we should do is make an effort to read printed books. This will be especially helpful when seeking information we need for academic or career purposes.5.Hand-written correspondence（通信）Writing letters and notes include hand writing skills，organizational skills，and learning about the person or persons you correspond with. This is another easily regained skill. Send a letter to an old friend，relative or acquaintance.53. What's the disadvantage by adding all numbers to the contacts list?A. We might lose all our phone numbers accidentally.B. It's hard to find the number from the contacts list.C. We may only have the ability to remember 5 numbers.D.

Frostbite is damage that happens when skin is exposed to extreme cold for too long. It mainly happens on the hands，feet，nose and ears. Hypothermia is a condition that develops when the body cannotproduce as much heat as it releases. Signs of hypothermia include uncontrollable shaking，very slow breathing and difficulty in thinking clearly. Hypothermia can lead to death if the person does not receive help.To avoid cold-related injuries，here is a simple way to remember four basic steps to staying warm.Think of COLD—C.O.L.D.The C stands for cover. Wear a hat and scarf to keep heat from escaping through the head，neck and ears. And wear mittens instead of gloves. In gloves，the fingers are separated，so the hands might not stay as warm as they would in mittens.The O stands for overexertion（用力过度）．Avoid activities that will make you sweaty. Wet clothes and cold weather are a dangerous combination.L is for layers. Wearing loose，lightweight clothes，one layer on top of another，is better than wearing a single heavy layer of clothing. Make sure outerwear is made of material that is water-resistant and tightly knit.D is for dry. In other words，stay as dry as possible. Pay attention to the places where snow can enter clothing. These include the tops of boots，the necks of coats and the wrist areas of mittens or gloves.And here are two other things to keep in mind—one for children and the other for adults. Eating snow might be fun but it lowers the body's temperature. And drinking alcohol might makea person feel warm. But what it really does is to weaken the body's ability to hold heat.59.

CEducation has an important effect on the mind or physical ability of an individual. It is the process by which society passes its accumulated knowledge, skills, and values from one generation to another.Various non-traditional education options are now available and continue to flourish（繁荣）. One of the most important uses in education is the use of technology. Teachers are encouraged to use new technological devices in order to strengthen learning among students and meet the needs of various types of learners.The right to education has been created and recognized by jurisdiction（司法）. Education is the most important concern of the government of India. Recently India has gained world recognition because many students from foreign countries come here to gain higher qualifications.One has to be educated in order to speed up the growth process in order to influence the economy. Education is indeed a powerful weapon to stop the cut- throat competition that man faces at every period of life. The importance of education in India is progressing with time. Although India has been a great foundation of learning for many years, it still needs to improve not just on the quality of education but also on the number of people being educated.Education is not just for academic success but also to make a person become a better human being and a better performer in life. Education makes the students able enough, so that they can compete nationally and internationally. To make a student a successful survivor in life, the responsibility lies equally with the schools and the parents too. Selecting a good school is as important as choosing a suitable career option for a child. The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth, it is education that gives us all the power and necessities of making a difference in any field.People who are not educated have few opportunities to do what they want to do. Educated people become more responsible and informed citizens, and have a voice in politics and society. Itallows people to be more productive by encouraging them to play responsible roles in terms of contributing to society.【文章大意】本文叙述的了教育的重要性。

对口招生考试英语精选试题阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）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。

AA Christmas Carol was written by Charles Dickens. The first 6,000 copies of the book were sold out in a week. And the book has inspired many plays and movies. The first play was put on in 1844. The first two movies were silent films made in 1901 and 1908. Since then, the story has been remade more than 60 times for television and cinema. What makes such a tale so attractive? Audiences have always loved a good plot, a villain(反面人物) who harms other people or breaks the law, and the ending of right over wrong. The book offers all three.The book tells the story of a man named Ebenezer Scrooge. He is mean and cruel(残忍的) to his clerk and turns away his only living relative. One night, Scrooge is visited by three spirits. The first shows scenes from Scrooge’s youth that led to this present state. The second takes him to the homes of his clerk and his nephew. Here Scrooge sees that people can be happy without lots of money. The spirit also shows him the desperate poor people of London. The third spirit shows Scrooge will die alone, and no one will care if he continues to live as he has. At last the message is understood, and Scrooge repents. He becomes generous and caring to all around him, especially to his clerk’s sick son, Tiny Tim.Every year, thousands of people watch A Christmas Carol. Why? They may be touched by its lessons on the true meanings of wealth and happiness. They may enjoy the special effects and feelings or watching every year may be just a habit. Viewers never seem to grow tired of the old miser(守财奴), Scrooge, and his dramatic message of hope and change.56. What do we know about the book A Christmas Carol?A. It was written in the early 19th century.B. Dickens completed the book in a week.C. It has been adapted for cinema and television.D. It didn’t attract readers when published for the first time.57. The third spirit shows Scrooge .A. where he will die and who will care about himB. how others care about his present lifeC. when and how he will die alone58A. Scrooge feels sorry for what he has doneB. Scrooge does things as he did beforeC. Scrooge is angry with the three spiritsD. Scrooge gives the three spirits a handBSweetest Day is always the third Saturday in October. This holiday is much more important in some regions than in others (Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo being the biggest Sweetest Day cities). It is a holiday that is gaining in popularity every year throughout the country.Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy. It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, aged, and orphaned, but also friends, relatives and associates whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.Over 60 years ago, a Cleveland man, believing that the city’s orphans and shut-ins (卧病在床的人) too often felt forgotten and neglected, formed the idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this through the distribution(分发) of small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he distributed these small remembrances on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed, other Clevelanders began to participate in the celebration ceremony, which came to be called "Sweetest Day". In time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the underprivileged（弱势群体）was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small remembrance. And soon the idea spread to other cities all over the country.Sweetest Day is not based on any single group’s religious belief or on a family relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning. Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift-giving, Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a practical way.59. Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?A. More and more people are now celebrating Sweetest Day in the whole country.B. Sweetest Day is a holiday which always falls on the Saturday in October.C. Sweetest Day is much more important in big cities than in small cities.D. Only a few religious have the tradition to celebrate the holiday.60. The idea of creating Sweetest Day came from _____.A. the city’s orphans and shut-insB. a city named Cleveland 60 years agoC. a man who cared orphans and shut-insD. a man’ s friends, relatives and associates61. Sweetest Day is celebrated in the following ways EXCEPT _____.A. a kind actB. a family partyC. gift-givingD. a small remembrance62. From the third paragraph we can learn that _____.A. it is the people in Cleveland who spread Sweetest Day to other citiesB. only with the help of the man’s friends and neighbors, he got a small remembranceC. over 60 years ago, a man too often felt forgotten and neglectedD. all people loved to be remembered by others on Sweetest Day in ClevelandCOn hearing the words “Just do it!”, you will know there is a Nike product nearby. If it’s “Always Coca-Cola”, you can be sure someone w ants to sell you a refreshing drink.An advertising slogan(广告标语) is to a brand what eyes are to a person. The slogan helps people understand the brand better by telling them what it wants to sell to its customers. Good slogans leave a message inside people’s minds. It’s almost certain that every brand has a popular slogan.Here are a few examples:“Just do it!”—This slogan speaks out to teens. It tells them to do something, but only if they think it’s worth it. And if so, why not do it wearing Nike?“Alwa ys Coca-Cola.”—Coke’s slogans change every few years, but this one has enjoyed a lasting popularity because it shows the brand’s spirit. It seems to say “Coke is the only drink there is; there are no other forms of drinks.”“Share moments, share life.”—This slogan from Kodak connects photos and beauty. It asks people to remember the happy moments in life by taking photos of them—using Kodak film of course!63. What would be the best title for the text?A. Just Do It!B. Slogan And BrandC.

DMany scientists today are convinced that life exists elsewhere in the universe---life probably much like that on our own planet. They reason in the following way.As far as astronomers can determine, the entire universe is built of the same matter. They have no reason to doubt that matter obeys the same laws in every part of the universe. Therefore, it is reasonable to guess that other stars, with their own planets, were born in the same way as our own solar system. What we know of life on earth suggests that life will arise wherever the proper conditions exist.Life requires the right amount and kind of atmosphere. This eliminates(除去) all those planets in the universe that are not about the same size and weight as the earth.A smaller planet would lose its atmosphere; a larger one would hold too much of it.Life also requires a steady supply of heat and light. This eliminates double stars, or stars that flare up suddenly. Only single stars that are steady sources of heat andlight like our sun would qualify.Finally, life could evolve(进化) only if the planet is just the right distance from its sun. With a weaker sun than our own, the planet would have to be closer to it. With a stronger sun, it would have to be farther away.If we suppose that every star in the universe has a family of planets, then how many planets might support life? First, eliminate those stars that are not like our sun. Next eliminate most of their planets; they are either too far from or too close to their suns. Then eliminate all those planets which are not the same size and weight as the earth. Finally, remember that the proper conditions do not necessarily mean that life actually does exist on a planet. It may not have begun yet, or it may have already died out.This process of elimination seems to leave very few planets on which earthlike life might be found. However, even if life could exist on only one planet in a million, there are so many billions of planets that this would still leave a vast number on which life could exist.67. The existence of life depends on all of the following factors EXCEPT .A. the right amount of atmosphereB. our own solar systemC. steady heat and lightD. the right distance from the sun68. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A. The planet must be as big and heavy as the earth.B. Proper conditions are essential to the existence of life.C. Double stars can provide steady light and heat.D. The distance between a planet and its sun should be right.69. What kind of planet might NOT support life?A. Most of the planets of the stars.B. Stars similar to our sun.C. Planets similar to the earth.D. Planets with proper conditions.70. At the end of the passage the author suggests that .A. it is impossible for life to exist on planets.B. earthlike life could only exist on a few planets.C. life could exist on only one planet in a million.D. life could exist on a great number of planets.阅读理解56-58 CDA 59-62 ACBA 63-66 BCBD 67-70 BCAD。

CHave you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Many people are afraid to support themselves. Dr Robert Albert, author of Stand Up, Speak Out, and Talk Back thinks it' s because their self-respect is low. "There's always a' superior' around— a parent, a teacher, a boss— who knows better."But Albert and other scientists are doing something to help people help themselves. They offer "assertiveness training" courses , A.T. for short. In the A.T. Course people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive without hurting other people.In one way, learning to speak out is to get rid of fear. A group taking an A.T. Course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But A.T. uses an even stronger motive— he need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels. Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-respect. If someone you face is more "important" than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your answers to problems. You can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out.【小题1】The problem the writer talks about is that ________.A. some people buy things they don't wantB. some people are afraid to speak out for their rightsC. there are too many superiorsD. some people don't think enough of themselves【小题2】The cause of the problem talked about in this passage is that ________.A. some people have a low self-respectB. there is always someone around who "knows better"C. salesmen talk people into buying things they don't wantD. people don t share enough【小题3】The A.T. Courses often ________.A. make people distrust their own answersB. make things more favorable for "superiors"C. help people know as much as their "superiors"D. help people become more important【小题4】A good title for this passage could be "________".A. The Need to ShareB. Talk Back When NecessaryC. One Way to Build Self-RespectD. One Way to Train Speaking AbilityDThe best way of learning a language is using it. The best way of learning English is talking in English as much as possible. Sometimes you'll get your words mixed up (混合) and people willnot understand you. Sometimes people will say things too quickly and you can't understand them. But if you keep your sense of humor, you can always have a good laugh at the mistakes you make. Don't be unhappy if people seem to be laughing at your mistakes. It's better for people to laugh at your mistakes than to be angry with you, because they don't understand what you are saying. The most important thing for learning English is: "Don't be afraid of making mistakes because everyone makes mistakes."【小题1】The writer thinks that the most important thing for you to learn a language is________.A. readingB. practisingC. talking about itD. listening【小题2】If people laugh at the mistakes you make, you should ________.A. be angry with themB. be angry with yourselfC. not careD. believe you are right【小题3】The story tells us " ________."A. It is normal (正常的) that we make some mistakes in learning EnglishB. Everyone must make mistakesC. We can avoid making mistakes in learning a languageD. Laughing can help one learn English well。

AIs there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don’t really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦). Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.Accept itInstead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.Stop making excuses for itYou may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.Forgive and forget itYou probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the oth er person. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.36. According to the passage, we might get angry when someone __________.A. holds us backB. forgets usC. doesn’t like usD. does hurt us37.

Some of them follow their owncultural traditions. It’s important for us to know about them.●In many countries, such as Thailand, India and Malaysia, people believe that the left h and is unclean. So, it's not proper to use one's left hand to hold food, touch others or pass objects.

There lay my house, reduced to waist-high rains, smelly and dirty.Before the trip, I’d had my car fixed. When the office employee of the garage was writing up the bill, she noticed my Louisiana license plate. “You from New Orleans?” she asked. I said I was, “No charge.” She said, and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet. The next day I went for a haircut, and the same thing happened.As my wife was studying in Florida, we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage(抵押贷款) on our ruined house. We looked at many places, but none was satisfactory. We’d began to accept that we’d have to live in extremely reduced circumstances for a while, when I got a very curious e-mail from a James Kenn edy in California. He’d read some pieces I’d written about our sufferings for state, the online magazine and wanted to give us (“no conditions attached”) a new house across the lake from New Orleans. It sounded a good to her return, but I replied, thinking him for his exceptional generosity, then we to go back. Then the University of Florida offered to let him house to me. While he want to England on his one year, paid leave. The rent was rather reasonable. I mentioned the poet’s offer to James Kennedy, and the next day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months.Throughout this painful experience, the kindness of strangers has done much to bring back my faith in humanity.

对口升学英语考前冲刺模拟试题（含答案）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)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。

AIf you are ever planning to buy a telescope and want to get yourself involved in astronomy it is always a good idea to know a bit of the sky.Get acquainted with a few constellations(星座) so that it will be easier for you to spot the constellations when you are using your telescope.It’s a good idea to buy a few magazines on astronomy to help you to get familiar with the constellations in the sky and also read a few reviews on the different types of telescopes in the market.This will help you gather all the information that is out there regarding telescopes and what people have to say about them.It’s advisable to go in for a pair of binoculars(双筒望远镜) before you buy your first telescope so that you can get used to spotting constellations before your view of the sky is narrowed down.This will also help you know if you really want to get involved in astronomy.Many people buy a costly telescope and then discover that they’re not actually interested in astronomy.Experience has no substitute，and there certainly is nothing better than using different telescopes before you buy one.This will help you to get the feel of all the types of telescopes and you will know which one is easier for you to use.A large aperture(光圈) refractor(折射) may give you an excellent image but you may not be able to keep a steady hand while using it resulting in a blurry image.There are three types of telescopes that are available in the market.If you want a more elegant looking telescope you can always choose to buy a fine brass telescope.It’s good to become acquainted with each type before going for the plunge of a first telescope.The first type of telescope is the refractor telescope，which uses lenses to gather light to a focus at the eye piece.The use of lenses helps the telescope have a superior image.A refracting telescope is not as portable as the other two types of telescopes and so you will have to buy one with a small aperture.The second type of telescope is the Reflector.Made by Sir Isaac Newton，this telescope functions by focusing the light back at the front of the tube，which is where the eyepiece sits，by using parabolic(抛物线的) mirrors and another smaller mirror to deflect the light.There is no added color in the image caused by refraction of light since this telescope does not use lenses.These are the cheapest of all telescopes and are more portable than refractors. 56．According to the text，a telescope is intended to be bought for ________.A．getting experienceB．watching starsC．studying the climateD．learning about a bit of the sky答案 B解析推理判断题。

AA student was one day taking a walk with his teacher. As they went along, they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path. They were a poor farmer’s, who was working in the nearby field.The student turned to the teacher, saying: “we will hide his shoes, and hide ourselves behind those trees, and wait to see what he will do.”“My young friend,”answered the teacher, “we should never make fun of the poor. Why not put a coin in each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch?”The student did so and they both hid themselves behind the trees. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes.After putting on his coat, he put his foot into one of his shoes, and felt something hard. Then he bent (弯腰) down to feel what it was, and found the coin. Surprised, he looked at the coin, turned it around and looked at it again. He then looked around, but no person was seen. He put the money into his pocket, and continued to put on the other shoe. His surprise was doubled on finding the other coin.He couldn’t control his feelings and fell to his knees, looked up to the sky and expressed his thanks. Then he spoke of his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread. He said the help would save them from dying.The student stood there deeply moved, and his eyes filled with tears. “Now,”said the teacher, “Are you not much happier than if you had hidden the shoes?”56.

But how can you be a good friend at school?Listen —Listen when they are talking. Don’t say anything u nless they ask you a question.Sometimes it’s not necessary for you to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.Help them —If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don’t do everything they want you to do. Try to take an extra (额外的) pencil or pen with you to classes in case (以防) they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need.Be there for them — Try to make something for your friend to help make them feel better in hard times. Making cards and encouraging them are among the nicest things you can do for a friend. Marilyn Monroe, a famous U.S. actor, once said, “I often make mis takes. Sometimes I am out of control. But if you can’ t stay with me at my worst, you are sure not to deserve (值得) to be with me at my best.”Always remember this! If you don’t want to stay with your friends when they’re in hard times, then you don’t deserv e to be with them when they’re having a good time!Make plans — Try to make plans with your friends. Go shopping, go for ice cream, have a party, go to a movie and so on. Take time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy. By planning things together, you both can have a good time. A nd you’ll remember these things when you’re all old!60.

She got dementia and so she had been in the hospital twice. In November I was finally able to get her back to her “home”.Alice had thought her daughter was coming to visit her on Christmas day and that they were going to have the whole family together like the old days. When she finally realized that that happy moment was not going to happen, she was very sad. Knowing that her daughter was coming after Christmas was not enough to make her feel happy, I hated the idea of her being alone on the holiday!On Christmas Eve, I gave her a surprise by asking if she would like to go to a candlelight service at church that night.Instead of taking her to my church, I took her to her old neighborhood church where all her friends were. We got there early and I got her a seat where her friends could see her as they came in. Then soon some of her friends came to the church and they rushed over to greet her and sit with her.The candlelight service was beautiful and Alice got a lot of love from her old and new friends there.The truth of the story is that I am the one who got the best gift: the smile on Alice’s face.63.

Protection against fire is one kind of insurance. Large numbers of people pay small sums of money to an insurance company. Although thousands of people have paid for fire insurance, only a few will lose their homes by fire. The insurance company will pay for these homes out of the small sums of money it has collected.The first modern fire insurance company was formed in London, England, in the 1760s. A great fire had just destroyed most of the city, and people wanted protection against further losses. The first company grew rapidly. Soon other companies were founded in other areas.Benjamin Franklin helped form the first fire insurance company in America in 1752, and then a new kind of insurance for farmers was suggested. The new insurance would provide protection against the loss of crops from storms.Later on another new insurance company was started in America. This company, which offered life insurance, collected small sums of money regularly from many different men. If a man died, his family was given a large sum of money.Over the years, insurance companies have offered new kinds of insurance protection. The new kinds of insurance cover losses from such accidents as car and plane crashes. Today, most people have some kind of insurance.36. Who helped set up the first company in America?A.

Some of Jane's friends brought other friends with them. As more and more people arrived, the noise increased. People started shouting at each other, so they turned the music up.

He is a very special individual”, said one of his students.In April 2009, Greg Perry accepted the first annual Heart of Green Local Hero Award, for his work to develop, with his high school students, the Green Dream and the Ultimate Green Classroom. At the time of the awards, he was unsteady, having just been through intense chemotherapy（化疗）. His work as a teacher is an inspiration, as is his recovery, and his acceptance speech. We’re happy to say that Greg is back in the classroom—which is a good thing for him, for his students and for the wider community. Here’s his story.At the age of 6 he was paralyzed from the neck down in an accident. He was told he would never walk, never play football and never feed himself. He proved the doctors wrong! He can do all these things and much more. His determination continues to thrive.Greg Perry graduated from Ohio State University with a joint degree in marketing and education. To him, the education degree was just a bulwark（保障）against the misfortune, so there are probably few people as surprised as Perry that before the age of 40, he would have drawn national attention for his teaching, orchestrated (精心安排) the building of a model classroom and inspired his students to launch the largest green business expo ever staged in Ohio.Perry teaches an innovative high school marketing class in Beachwood, Ohio, a city of about 12,000 in the Cleveland suburbs. Students from several area schools travel a long distance to Beachwood High School for a class unlike any other. He has led the class of 18 to create the “ULTIMATE GREEN CLASSROOM”. Under his direction the largest Eco–Friendly Showcase in Ohio was held and about $150,000 was raised in Green goods and services to build the unbelievable classroom. Elected executive officers help Perry run the class, and for much of the year, the focus is on lining of exhibitors for The Green Dream, the green business expo that is expected to draw more than 6,000 people this Spring.“Sales people are maki ng phone calls to line up exhibitors in the expo. Finance is handling the contracts and payments. Marketing and Communications and Publications and Websites are trying to promote the message.” Perry said. “It’s more like a day at work than a day at the classroom. By doing these large projects, they learn about branding, advertising, management styles and marketing techniques without every picking up the textbooks.”61．Greg Perry’s students think that ________.A．he is gifted and creative B．he is unsteady and intenseC．he deserves the award D．his business is successful 62．According to Greg Perry, ________.A．his winning for his teaching is unexpected B．his recovery is a really unexpected wonderC．education degree is a must to improve life D．the award should belong to him for his teaching63．From the passage, what is Greg Perry?A．He is a university student majoring marketing and education.B．He is a teacher of a high school in Ohio.C．He is a doctor who specializes in treating paralysis.D．He is a professor teaching in an Ohio university.64．Which of the following about Beachwood High School is true?A．It lies in the middle of the city. B．Most of the students are boarding.C．The class size is probably small. D．All the classrooms are painted green. 65．What can we learn from the text?A．Greg Perry’s classes are connected with some companies and websites.B．Greg Perry’s students never use text books in their learning at all.C．Greg Perry’s students work in workshops ra ther than in the classroom.D．Greg Perry’s students learned a lot of useful skills in an economical way.CBEING an astronaut sounds cool, doesn’t it? In space, they get to do some pretty amazing things, like floating in zero gravity.However, there are al so plenty of things that astronauts can’t do because of their weightless environment, and that’s very sad. What’s worse, they can’t even let their sadness show – because it’s impossible to cry in zero gravity.Of course, astronauts can still produce tears. But crying is much more difficult in space, reported The Atlantic in January. Without gravity, tears don’t flow downward out of the eyes like they do here on Earth. This means that when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go –they just stick to your eyes.In May 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks. “Tears,” he said, “don’t fall off of your eye ... They just kind of stay there.”Besides making your vision unclear, this can also cause physical pain. Back on Earth, tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes. But that’s not the case in space. The space environment dries out astronauts’ eyes, and when tears suddenly wet the eyes, it can cause pain rather than comfort. “My right eye is painful like crazy.” Feustel told his teammate during the walk.Since gravity doesn’t work in space, astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears. Feustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet to wipe the tears away. Another choice is to just wait –“When the tears get big enough they simply break free of the eye and float around,” astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic.There are lots of small things –things like crying –that we are so used to on Earth. We usually take them for granted, until they become a problem in a totally different environment, like space. There, astronauts can’t talk to each other directly. They also can’t eat or drink in normal ways. They can’t even burp (打嗝), because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomach. If they do burp, they just end up throwing up (呕吐) everything in their stomach, according to the UK National Space Center.Thus, perhaps it’s only space explorers who can honestly say: “Gravity, you’re the best.”66．What can we conclude from paragraphs 2 and 3?A．Astronauts are unable to feel sad in space.B．Astronauts produce fewer tears in space.C．Tears produced in space flow down more slowly.D．Tears produced in space don’t flow downward.67．What effect do tears have on astronauts?A．They cause physical pain. B．They bring comfort to them.C．They make their vision clearer. D．They float around and cause trouble. 68．What can the astronaut do to get rid of the tears?A．Rub his eyes against his helmet to let the tears float forward.B．Rub his eyes by hand to let the tears float around.C．Get the tears big enough to fall off of his eyes.D．Get the tears big enough to break away from his eyes.69．What’s the second-to-last paragraph mainly about?A．Suggestions on how astronauts can stay comfortable in space.B．Other basic things that are difficult to do in space.C．Why burping is impossible in space.D．Things that humans can’t do without gravity.70．When of the following can be the best title for the text?A．In the sky, you can’t burp B．Better life with gravityC．In the sky, you can’t cry D．No Gravity, no tearsDWhen you meet someone for the first time, you will form an impression in your mind of that person in the first moment. Your reactions to other people, however, are really just barometers (晴雨表) for how you understand yourself. Your reactions to others say more about you than they do about others. You cannot really love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate yourself. We are usually drawn to those who are most like us and tend to dislike those who display those aspects of ourselves that we dislike.Therefore, you can allow others to be the mirror to illuminate (阐明;照亮) more clearly your own feelings of self-worth. On the contrary, you can view the people you judge negatively as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself.To survive together peacefully with others, you will need to learn tolerance. A big challenge is to shift your perspective from judgment of others to a lifelong exploration of yourself. Your task is to assess all the decisions, judgments you make onto others and to begin to view them as clues to how you can heal yourself and become whole.Several days ago I had a business lunch with a man who displayed objectionable table manners. My first reaction was to judge him as rude and his table manners as annoying. When I noticed that I was judging him, I stopped and asked myself what I was feeling. I discovered that I was embarrassed to be seen with someone how was chewing with his mouth open and loudly blowing his nose. I was astonished to find how much I cared about how the other people in the restaurant perceived me.Remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as a protective shield against you becoming like him. My judging my lunch partner as rude does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him. In the same way, extending tolerance to him would not cause me to suddenly begin chewing my food with my mouth open.When you approach life in this manner, those with whom you have the greatest dissatisfactions as well as those you admire and love can be seen as mirrors, guiding you to discover parts of yourself that you reject and to embrace your greatest quality.71．According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?A．Y ou can’t really love or hate others if they are similar to you.B．We are easily attracted by someone who is similar to us.C．Our first judgment of a person mostly comes from our personal opinion.D．The moment we see a stranger, our mind forms an impression of that person.72．We can know from the passage that the author advises people to _____________.A．avoid inappropriate manners B．learn tolerance towards others C．pay attention to others’ needs and feelings D．judge others favorably in any case 73．It can be implied from the text that ___________.A．the writer’s first reaction to the man was to judge him as offensiveB．we will need to learn tolerance to coexist with othersC．we shouldn’t focus on judging others but should constantly reflect on our ownD．the writer didn’t care about other people’s view of him74．The underlined word “objectionable” in Paragraph 4 has the closest meaning to __________.A．discouraging B．satisfying C．unpleasant D．acceptable 75．Throughout the entire story, the last paragraph serves as a(n) ______________.A．explanation B．example C．background D．conclusion阅读理解A本文为广告，主要介绍了一个叫Valley艺术中心的开设了一些课程。

对口高考英语模拟试题库：阅读表达阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题［1］Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “ I was a clothes addict”. He jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrin kled”. Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working harder than ever”. David says, “and I need to feel comfortable”.[2]More and more companies are allowing their office workers to _________ in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday. This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “Wha t started out as an extra one-day-a –week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” Said business consultant Maisly Jones.[3]Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easi er for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “Many young people don’t want to dress up for work”, says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code”. Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee motivation. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “ Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day”, one person said”, For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual c lothes”.56.Why does David Smith wear casual clothes now?(no more than 8 words)___________________________________________________________________ 57.

This past school year, my eldest daughter's teacher did not assign too much homework, and often gave the kids extra time during class to get it done. Meanwhile, my daughter's dear friend —who attends the same school and is in the same grade —struggled nightly with her lengthy homework assignments. She had work to do every night, extra projects to complete, and assignments to complete over holiday break.[2] So which was the lucky kid? Some might argue that my child was — she had more time to play, and spent less time stressing over assignments. Others might feel that my child was missing out on a key element of her education by not having what she was learning during the school day reinforced.[3] To be honest, I'm not really sure which camp I'm in, but it's debates like this one that have sparked a homework revolution between parents and schools all over the country. A New York Times article reported that the school district in Galloway, N.J., is considering a proposal to limit weeknight homework to 10 minutes for each year of school — 20 minutes for second-graders, 30 minutes for third-graders, etc. —and ban assignments on weekends, holidays and school vacations. The school district in Pleasanton, Calif., is looking at a similar proposal. __________, other schools around the country are introducing homework-free holidays, no-homework nights, and goal-work — instead ofhomework — that can be completed throughout the school day.[4] Most of these changes are in response to annoyed parents who see lengthy homework assignments competing with what little family time they have each day. The documentary "Race To Nowhere" spurred（激起）more debate by highlighting the unnecessary pressure on kids in today's educational system.56. What is the text mainly about? (no more than 8 words)57. What sparked a homework revolution among parents and schools all over the country according to Paragraph 3? (no more than 5 words)58. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words.

It was just total panic.”Today, music schools are paying attention to the problem of anxiety in classes that deal with performance techniques and career preparation. There are a variety of skills that musicians can learn to fight stage fright and its symptoms: icy fingers, shaky hands, racing heart, and blank mind.“Take two deep breaths, open up your shoulders, then smile,” says doctor Diane Nichols, who suggests some ways of dealing with anxiety for the moments beforeperformance. “Then choose three friendly faces in the audience, people you would communicate with and make music to, and make eye contact(接触) with them.” She doesn’t want performers to think of the audience as a judge.Extreme demands by teachers or parents are often at the root of stage fright, says Dorothy DeLay, a well-known violin teacher. She tells other teachers to demand only what their students are able to achieve.It is not only young artists who suffer, of course. The well-known pianist Cladimir Horowitz’s stage fright was famous. The great singer Draco Corelli is another example. “They had to push him on stage,” singer Renata S cotto said.Actually, success can make things worse. “In the beginning of your career, when you’re scared to death, nobody knows who you are, and they don’t have any expectations,” famous singer June Anderson said. “There’s less to lose. Later on, when ________, people are coming to see you, and they have certain expectations. You have a lot to lose.”56. How did Lynn Harrell feel when performing according to Paragraph 1?

The Chinese online music market will step into an era of legal copies." Gao said at a launch ceremony for the Top Chinese Music Awards.A producer of pop songs, Gao became widely known after being sent to prison for six months for drink-driving in May 2011.Gao said record companies, online providers and relevant parties have come to an agreement after negotiations(协商).Considering high price for online downloading is hard to be accepted by netizens, record companies have compromised on pricing to encourage a paid music service and copyright protection. It is unknown what form the paid service will be.” Exact information will be released（发布）by relevant industries later, but it's for sure the price will be very low," Gao added.In China, there are 400 million Internet users listening to and downloading online music, mostly for free. According to China Audio & Video Association statistics, the country's 2012 music copyright（版权）market was valued at more than 40 billion Yuan ($6.4 billion). However, actual copyright revenue only amounted to 800 million Yuan. Free music has led to the fact that commercial value does not bring cash to music producers but frustration(沮丧) for Chinese original musicians.Many netizens are questioning the truth of the news, given that similar rumors circulated last year.Even if true, some said it may encounter resistance（阻力）from Internet users, who are used to dumping the latest chart-topping songs from music websites onto their MP3s or computers.68.

Gao Xiaosong’s blogDBuck lived in Mr. Miller’s big house in the sunny Santa Clara valley. There were largegardens and fields of fruit trees around the house, and a river nearby. In a big place like this, of course, there were many dogs. There were house dogs and farm dogs, but they were not important. Buck was the chief dog; he was born here, and this was his place. He was four years old and weighed sixty kilos. He went swimming with Mr. Miller’s sons, and walking with his daughters. He carried the grandchildren on his back, and he sat at Mr. Miller’s feet in front of the fire in winter.But this was 1897, and Buck did not know that men and dogs were hurrying to north-west Canada to look for gold. And he did not know that Manuel, one of Mr. Miller’s gardeners, needed money for his large family. One day, when Mr. Miller was out, Manuel and Buck left the garden together. It was just an evening walk, Buck thought. No one saw them go, and only one man saw them arrive at the railway station. This man talked to Manuel, and gave him some money. Then he tied a piece of rope around Buck’s neck.Buck growled, and was surprised when the rope was pulled hard around his neck. He jumped at the man. The man caught him and suddenly Buck was on his back with his tongue out of his mouth. For a few moments he was unable to move, and it was easy for the two men to put him into the train. When Buck woke up, the train was still moving. The man was sitting and watching him, but Buck was too quick for him and he bit the man's hand hard. Then the rope was pulled again and Buck had to let go．That evening，the man took Buck to the back room of a bar in San Francisco. The barman looked at the man's hand and trousers covered in blood.“How much are they paying you for this?” He asked.“I only get fifty dollars.”“And the man who stole him-how much did he get?” asked the barman．“A hundred. He wouldn't take less.”“That makes a hundred and fifty. It’s a good price for a dog like him.Here,help me to get him into the train.”72. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Buck lived in a big house as the chief dog.B. Many dogs lived in Mr. Miller’s big house.C. A dog was stolen as a result of the gold rush.D. Dogs are important on the gold-seeking road.73. According to the passage, how much money did Manuel get?A. 50 dollarsB. 100 dollarsC. 150 dollarsD. I t’s not mentioned74. We can learn from the passage that_______A. Buck was the only important dog in Mr. Miller’s house.B. Manuel stole Buck because he was a very greedy(贪婪的)personC. No one saw Manuel and Buck arrive at the railway station.D. It’s thought that Buck was bought at a very expensive price.75.

CThe US government has started a website, Admongo, to help children think critically（批判性地）about the advertising aimed at them. It claims to provide visitors with an “aducation” through games and other entertainment.A cartoon man dressed in old time pilot clothing greets visitors to Admongo. "Call me Haiz", he says upon arrival in a rocket ship that opens up with a crazy world inside it. Spacey dance music plays in the background as Haiz tells visitors that they need to learn about advertising.Its inventors say eight to twelve years old is the age kids develop their critical thinking abilities. Kids that age are also a big market for advertisers.The idea behind Admongo is to teach children three things: To identify the advertiser. To know what the advertiser is really saying. And to know what the advertisement is trying to get the child to do.Children learn these things through a video game. They create their own game character. They can choose different skin colors, hair styles, eye and mouth shapes. Then they begin a trip through ad-land, where there are ads on buses and billboards. The players have to find all the marketing in the neighborhood before they can move on to the next level.The Admongo game takes players inside a home, to the advertising studio and everywhere else ads can be found. It is a complete exploration of the world of marketing.One such area is food marketing. The Federal Trade Commission(FTC) says it is a big business. The FTC estimates that food, drink and fast-food restaurants spent more than one and a half billion dollars on advertising to young people in 2009.The FTC says children are important for three reasons. They buy products. They influence parents and caregivers to buy. And they are the future adult buyers of the products.A recent study says most advertising aimed at children is for foods of the lowest nutritional value. First Lady Michelle Obama has said she would like to see advertisers marketing healthyfoods for children.【文章大意】可知本文讲述的是美国政府建立的一个网站，为了教育孩子们理解广告的真正内涵。
