I’ve often thought that those 20 blue flowers from the ditch (沟) would 21 great in our garden alongside other wildflowers. Every day I 22 past the flowers thinking, “I’ll stop on my way home and 23 them.” “Gee, I don’t want to get my good clothes 24 ...” Whatever the reason was, I 25 stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a shovel (铲子) in the car to be used for that 26 .One day on my way home from work, I was 27 to see that the highway department had mowed (除草) the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were 28 . I thought to myself, “You29 too long and missed the good chance. You should have done it when you 30 saw them blooming this spring.”A week ago we were 31 to learn that my husband’s sister has a brain tumor (肿瘤). She is20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of 32 and distance, we h aven’t been as close as we all would have liked.

That’s a little less than 1 percent, but enough to mitigate (缓解) the kinds of problems facing Japan and many European countries.Europe, with 728 million people, saw its population shrink by 74,000 since the beginning of the decade, according to the United Nations. By 2050, it is projected to lose a total of 75 million people.The problem is that birth rates are so low that there aren’t enough young people entering the work force to support an aging population, said Hans Peter Kohler, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Pennsylvania.Russian President Vladimir Putin is so concerned that he recently proposed paying women to have children. Last year, France increased monthly stipends (津贴) to parents who take time off work to care for a third child.When Japan announced in June that its population had shrunk in 2005 for the first time, Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi said, “The data must be accepted seriously.”On Friday, Japan announced that it is now the worl d’s most elderly nation, with more than a fifth of its people 65 or older. Italy is the second.36. The underlined word in the fourth paragraph can be replaced by _____.A. increaseB. riseC. expandD. decrease37. Which is NOT a reason for a countr y’s declining of population?A. Suffering from natural disasters.B. Women’s stopping to have enough children.C. Being at war with other countries.D. The attack by certain diseases.38. Russia and France are used as examples in the sixth paragraph to show that _____.A. they are trying to increase birthrateB. the problem will never be solvedC. they are very rich countriesD. women in those countries are luckier39. Which of the following best describes the problem mentioned in the passage?A. There are more old people and fewer young people in the work force.B. There are more young people and fewer old people in the work force.C. European countries and Japan have lost people because of wars.D. Women are losing the ability to give birth to children.B★The “only child” generation is coming of age, as they become parents, according to a recent survey. The young parents tend to be better prepared for raising their children than older generations, despite previously having been criticized as “little emperors and queens” during their childhood, an expert says.The survey, conducted by the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, found some 40 per cent of 1,800 young parents aged 20 to 40 are the only child in their families. The figure is expected to reach a peak in the next five to six years, as a census（人口普查）in 1982 indicated that more than 81 per cent of children born that year are the only child at home.“Differences are obvious in many aspects bet ween only-child parents (OCP) and non-only-child parents (NOCP),” said Bao Leiping, a doctor with the Institute of Youth and Juvenile Studies under the social sciences academy.Approximately 17 per cent of OCPs preferred a career when asked to choose between a career and children. The figure for NOCPs is about 11 percent. “The only-child-turned parents put more emphasis on themselves than NOCPs, and are more dependent,” said Bao.More than 45 per cent of OCPs live with their parents compared with 28 percent among NOCPs. “The grandparents shoulder a lot of responsibilities for OCPs, which allows them more time and energy to explore new ways to educate their babies,” she said.Some 46 per cent of OCPs have used the Internet to search for information about education, 7.2 per cent higher than NOCPs. In addition, OCPs put more emphasis on educating their children on values, manners and social conduct.40. Which of the following is mainly discussed in the passage above?A. The only-child generation problem.B. How to raise children of the only-child generation.C. Differences between OCPs and NOCPs.D. Little emperors and queens.41. How many young parents in the survey are the only child?A. 1800.B. 800.C. 1982.D. 720.42. We can infer from the passage that _____.A. the number of OCPs will rise in the futureB. the number of OCPs will drop in the futureC. the OCPs are not quite ready for raising their youngD. more NOCPs prefer doing a job to raising childrenC★★What is the color of the universe? Astronomers had not answered this question until two months ago. That is when two American astronomers reported on their study of all the light in the universe. They said that the universe would appear to the human eye to be a light greenish color, called turquoise（青绿色）.Karl Glazebrook and Ivan Baldry of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, reported their finding in January. They presented the research at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society. They said that finding the color of the universe was not part of their serious scientific research. They did it for fun.However, earlier this month, the scientists admitted to making a mistake. They said their finding was much more colorful than it should have been. They now say the light from our universe is closer to white. It is more like a milky or creamy white color.Their study attempted to show what people might see if they could observe the universe from far away. The scientists found the average color by combining light from about two-hundred-thousand star systems. Their information came from an observatory in New South Wales, Australia.These scientists and color engineers attempted to reproduce the result. Mark Fairchild of the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York was the first person to identify a mistake. He discovered a mistake in the computer software program used by the Johns Hopkins scientists. When the mistake was corrected, the results changed. The new color of the universe is much less colorful. It is very close to white. The scientists have apologized for the mistake. They are now working with the Rochester Institute of Technology to produce more images of the color of the universe. They also asked for suggestions for a name for the new color of the universe.43. The best title of the passage should be _____.A. Research made by two astronautsB. The color of the universeC. Mistakes made by scientistsD. A mistake in the computer44. Which of the following people recognized the mistake first?A. Karl Glazebrook.B. Ivan Baldry.C. Johns Hopkins.D. Mark Fairchild.45. Which of the following was NOT TRUE about the color of the universe?A. It was once considered close to green.B. It was finally discovered close to white.C. It is called turquoise now.D. It appears milky or creamy.46. If we divide the passage into two parts, where can we draw the dividing line?A. Between the 3rd and the 4th paragraph.B. Between the 2nd and the 3rd paragraph.C. Between the 4th and the 5th paragraph.D. Between the 5th and the 6th paragraph.D★★George Washington, the “Father of America”, was born on February 22, 1732, in Westmoreland County, Virginia. His father died when George was eleven and he did not attend school regularly, but he acquired basic reading, writing, and mathematics skills. He did not attend university. When he was 16, George moved to Lawrence’s estate, Mount Vernon, and ten years later, he married a young widow, Martha, and adopted her two children. Washington had no children of his own. George received his first military appointment as a major in the militia（民兵队伍）during the French and Indian War (1754). In 1758 Washington was elected to the House of Burgesses and expressed his opposition to Britain’s unfair taxes and land laws. He was active in resisting British rule. When the Revolutionary War began (1775) the Continental Congress asked George Washington to be the commander in chief of the Continental army.With a force of about 10,000 men, he faced a difficult winter (1777-1778) at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. They had little food and were poorly clothed. Those who survived until spring were pleased to learn that France had recognized America’s independence. With aid from France, the troops were able to trap the main British force at Yorktown (1781). After the war, Washington returned home to Mount Vernon.George Washington was a member of the Federalist Party, believing in a strong central American government. His popularity caused him to be elected president of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, and in 1789 he became the first president of the United States. He was elected to a second term, with John Adams serving as vice president. He refused to run for a third term as president. He died on December 14, 1799, of a throat infection brought on by several hours outside in a freezing rain. He is buried in the family tomb at Mount Vernon.47. The underlined word in the second paragraph means _____.A. interviewB. jobC. dateD. application48. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. George Washington worked as president of the US for 8 years.B. George Washington worked as president of the US for 4 years.C. George Washington died of an unknown disease.D.

He married at the age of 25.C. He was strongly against the British rule.D. He defeated the British army by himself.50. The best title for the passage should be _____.A.

A freedom fighter for the USE★★★“Buy - A - Something” CampaignOne way to request for general donations is to tie it into a campaign like “Buy - A - Brick to Help Build a School in Bolivia”. Make sure you have some literature to give people as well as a registration form that includes name, address, and how many bricks the person purchased. University FundsIf you are a student, one major source of funding is your own college or university. Many school clubs can raise a certain amount of funds through student activities. See if your club is suitable.Letter WritingOne of the most effective ways of raising money is to do a letter campaign to as many relatives, friends, former teachers, etc. as possible. Sending a detailed letter to over 100 friends and relatives explaining th e program and what you hope to accomplish while you’re on it will help you reach your goal.Parties, Dances, MusicUse the “Who Do You Know” principle. Do you have a friend in a band? Do you know the owner of a bar or a restaurant? Some simple events include having a band play at a club, and your group gets the cover charge or a percentage of the drink sales.Exhibitions — This is limited to people with professional art genius. If you are an artist, you can ask friends to help you hold exhibitions and donate your profit to charity or give people who need financial help.Sales —One of the traditional ways to raise money is through bake sales, candy sales, flower sales, etc. Some sales such as candy sales cost money. Often sales can be associated with holidays —pumpkins for Halloween or flowers for Valentine’s Day.Note: Please remember there are some people who are not so lucky as we are and it’s our duty to help them.51.

During my childhood and youth,Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential,without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females.I liked to sing;she listened to my voice and pronounced it good.I couldn’t dance;she taught me the basic dancing steps.She took me to the theatre not just children’s theatre but adult comedies and dramas and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed.My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me.I had books at home,but they were all serious classics.Even as a child I had a strong liking for humor,and I’ll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis’s Archy&Mehitabel through her.Most important,perhaps,Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication.A writer herself for one of the black newspapers,she suggested my name to the editor as a youth columnist”.My column,begun when I was fourteen,was supposed to cover teenage social activities and it did but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material,the discipline of meeting deadlines,and,after graduation from college six years later,a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs.Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her favorite niece”.Like a diamond,she has reflected a bright,multifaceted(多面的)image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path.36.Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhood and youth?A.She lent her some serious classics.B.She cultivated her taste for music.C.She discovered her talent for dancing.D.She introduced her to adult plays.37.Aunt Myrtle recommended the author to a newspaper editor mainly to .A.involve her in teenage social activitiesB.give her a chance to collect materialC.develop her capabilities for writingD.offer her a series of writing jobs38.We can conclude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a teacher who .A.gave pupils confidence in exploiting their potentialB.trained pupils to be diligent and well⁃disciplinedC.emphasized what was practical or possible for pupilsD.helped pupils overcome difficulties in learningBWho are these people rushing by you in the street?More than215million people now call America home”,but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world.If you look at the names on shop windows,you will see that Americans come from many different lands.The idea that these people,who once were strangers to the U⁃nited States,have lost the customs and cultures of their original countries and have become American”is really not true.In fact,what exists in America is more often a kind of side⁃by⁃side”living in which groups of people from other countries often have kept many of their customs and habits.They join the general American society only in certain areas of their lives such as in schools,business,and sports but they keep many of their own native customs and manners socially and at home.This living side⁃by⁃side”has both advantages and disadvantages.Sometimes it may cause disa⁃greements to develop between groups whose ways of life are very different from one another.However,there are also great advantages that come from the variety of cultures brought by settlers from other lands.There is great freedom of choice among ideas and dress,food,and social customs in America.Everyone can find some part of his or her familiar world in the United States,in churches,music,food,national groups,or newspapers.39. Side⁃by⁃side”living style means .A.making friends with native peopleB.keeping their own customs while sharing American ones in certain areasC.the groups of people who live nearbyD.that they get closer to American society40.According to the passage,people in the USA .A.share American customs and cultureB.live in a kind of side⁃by⁃side”societyC.keep their own customs and habits firmlyD.make no choice to accept American customs41.Which of the following statements is true?A.They always stick to their own customs and habits.B. Side⁃by⁃side”living style is not suitable.C.They face the society they are not familiar with.D.The advantages coming from the variety of cultures make life in America colorful.42.Which title of the following can best take the place of Different Cultures in America”?A.Advantages and Disadvantages.B.Different Customs and Habits.C.Home for the People.D. Side⁃by⁃side”Living Style in America.CIt was all his own idea,”says Pat Peters,the38⁃year⁃old wife of Palo Alto,California high school.Bob had just drawn up a motherhood contract” a document stating that for70days this summer he would take over the care and feeding of the couple’s four children,plus all household chores(杂务).Although he didn’t even know how to make coffee when he signed,he was quite confident.(He thought the experience would make a nice book.)After40of the70days,he was ready to give up. I was beaten down,”admits Peters.Three weeks later he spoke to the local press,stating, Not only is mother⁃hood a difficult task,not only is it never⁃ending,it is an impossible job for any normal human being.”Bob and Pat were high school sweethearts.After they were married in1960,she worked as a secretary to help put him through university. I had been around children so much.”she sighs. I couldn’t talk to a grown⁃up.”She continued to run the household,however until Bob signed the contract,so she decided to relax and enjoy it.Although Peters had consulted with his school’s home eco⁃nomics teachers and the head of the canteen,his meals were sometimes a disaster.I tried to slip the butter I’d forgotten under the eggs after they were frying,”he says.For the last three weeks, the family ate out a lot sometimes having Macdonald’s hamburgers for lunch and dinner.As for housekeeping,a home economics teacher had told Bob that a room always looks clean if the bed is made. I found an easier way I shut the doors,”he says.Soon the kids were wearing the same clothes for a week. I made them wear their shirts inside out, and when we went to pick up Pat at work they turned them right side out,so they would look clean.”Now that Bob has publicly admitted he was wrong,he is routinely(日常地)sharing the child⁃raising and household tasks with Pat.The tentative(暂定的)title of his book about the summer is taken from something he shouted at the kids one day.43.The couple signed the contract because .A.Pat complained a lot about her doing the housework all by herselfB.Bob loved taking care of children and wanted his wife to have a good restC.they agreed that husband and wife should share household tasksD.Bob thought it easy to take care of the family and wanted the experience for a book 44.What can we learn about Pat Peters?A.She was hard⁃working and selfless.B.She was pretty and kind⁃hearted.C.She was tired of the child⁃raising and household tasks.D.She did not love Bob any longer.45.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Bob managed to keep the kids’clothes clean.B.Bob tried to cook good meals for his children.C.Bob frequently took the kids out to eat because he was too busy at work.D.Bob taught the kids to make their beds every day.四㊁任务型阅读(每小题1.5分,满分15分)请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词㊂注意:每个空格只填1个单词㊂请将答案写在相应题号的横线上㊂There are many destructive(破坏性的)forces when it comes to nature,which have destroyed whole cities and killed many people.They’re really terrible,but they occur somewhat often,and this is why you see so many charities these days which focus their efforts on helping people who have been affected by natural disasters.While the world is a very beautiful place to live in,there will always be parts of the world where natural disasters happen more often than in other places,where properties and lives are destroyed.Only the people who live in the coun⁃try where tsunamis and earthquakes as well as other disasters occur experience these,and we can only imagine the suf⁃fering that they go through.For some people out there,the world is cruel,but they have no choice but to stay where they are.A lot of the time people simply cannot afford to move away,as they might not be able to get a job when they leave.In 2004,there was a tsunami in the Indian Ocean.A tsunami is a large wave that towers hundreds of feet into the air,and covers whole areas when it comes crashing down on to dry land.This particular tsunami was caused by an earthquake that happened in the middle of the sea,shooting the water away from the ground and towards dry land.This tsunami actually reached thirty meters in height,and was one of the worst tidal waves the world has ever seen.Over 200,000people were hurt in the disaster.In 2005,we also saw a hurricane happened in the United States.This hurricane was known as hurricane Katrina,and is perhaps the worst in the history of the world.It happened in 2005and destroyed millions of properties in the area.It also took the lives of nearly 2,000American people.It was known that for ten days,the wind swept through the area,meaning the most powerful country in the world became helpless in their attempts to save the people who were affected by the hurricane.Finally,in 2008we saw yet another natural disaster.This time it was a cyclone(旋风),which is similar to a hurri⁃cane but happens in a circular motion(圆周运动).This cyclone Nargis had been one of the strongest to have ever oc⁃curred,reaching a death toll of nearly 150,000people.All of these were terrible disasters that were unavoidable.Title :Forces of NatureIntroduction Destructive forces of nature refer to natural disasters 46　tsunamis and earthquakes.Consequences ◆When these terrible disasters occur in some parts of the world,they 47　properties and lives.◆People in these parts go through the 48　that only exists in our imagination.◆Some people out there have to 49　where they are.They can’t afford to move away,as jobs in other places might not be 50　.Examples ◆The 2004tsunami reached a 51　of thirty meters and it was one of the worst tidal waves in the world.◆The 2005　52　known as Katrina swept through parts of the US,causing great loss.Even the most powerful country could do 53　to save its people.◆The 2008cyclone called Nargis had been one of the strongest,leaving nearly 150,000people 54　.SummaryThese terrible disasters couldn’t be 55　.第一单元　综合提优测评卷(B卷)一㊁1~5　B B C A C 6~10　B D B C A11~15　B A C C D二㊁16~20　C D A B D 21~25　C D B D A26~30　C A C B A 31~35　A C D B B三㊁36~40　D C A B B 41~45　D D D A B四㊁46.like　47.destroy　48.suffering　49.stay/remain　50.available/found　51.height　52.hurricane。

2019-2020学年度最新高三总复习英语综合测试题含答案新课标卷-docxWord版(附参考答案)(满分120分）一．阅读理解（每题2分，共40分）第一节ASamuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata（奏鸣曲）by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him. Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable .They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even realize that what he can do is special.music instead. Now, he studies law and music. Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being mind---each and every note,” says Samuel.Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can’t play it. Samuel says confidently,” It’s all about super memory---I guess I have that gift.”However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word. Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn’t know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.1. What is special about Samuel Osmond?A. He has a gift for writing music.B. He can write down the note he hears.C. He is a top student at the law school.D. He can play the musical piece he hears.2. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. Samuel chose law against the wish of his parents.B. Samuel planned to be a lawyer rather than a musician.C. Samuel thinks of himself as a man of great musical ability.D. Samuel studies law and music on the advice of his teachers.3. Everyone around Samuel was surprised because he _________.A. received a good early education in musicB. played the guitar and the piano perfectlyC. would play the piano without reading musicD .would play the guitar better than his father4. What can we infer about Samuel in Paragraph 4?A. He became famous during a special event at his college.B. He is proud of his ability to remember things accurately.C. He plays the piano better than many professional pianists.D .He impressed the audience by playing all the musical pieces.5. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. The Qualities of a MusicianB. The Story of a Musical TalentC. The Importance of Early Education D .The Relationship between Memory andMusic.BHowever wealthy we may be, we can never find enough hours in the day to do everything we want.Economics deals with this problem through the concept of opportunity cost, which simply refers to whether someone’s time or money could be better spent on something else.Every hour of our time has a value. For every hour we work at one job we could quite easily be doing another, or be sleeping or watching a film. Each of these options has a different opportunity cost—namely, what they cost us in missed opportunities.Say you intend to watch a football match but the tickets are expensive and it will take you a couple of hours to get to and from the stadium. Why not, you might reason, watch the game from home and use the leftover money and time to have dinner with friends? This—the alternative use of your cash and time—is the opportunity cost.For economists, every decision is made by knowledge of what one must forgo—in terms of money and enjoyment—in order to take it up. By knowing precisely what you are receiving and what you are missing out on, you ought to be able to make better-informed, more reasonable decisions. Consider that most famous economic rule of all: there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Even if someone offers to take you out to lunch for free, the time you will spend in the restaurant still costs you something in terms of forgone opportunities.Some people find the idea of opportunity cost extremely discouraging: imagine spending your entire life calculating whether your time would be better spent elsewhere doing something more profitable or enjoyable. Yet, in a sense it’s human nature to do precisely that—we assess the advantages and disadvantages of decisions all the time.In the business world, a popular phrase is “value for money.” People want their cash to go as far as possible. However, an other is fast obtaining an advantage: “value for time.” The biggest restriction on our resources is the number of hours we can devote to something, so we look to maximize the return we get on our investment of time. By reading this passage you are giving over a bit of your time which could be spent doing other activities, such as sleeping and eating. In return, however, this passage will help you to think like an economist, closely considering the opportunity cost of each of your decisions.6. According to the passage, the concept of “opportunity cost” is applied to ________.A. making more moneyB. taking more opportunitiesC. reducing missed opportunitiesD. weighing the choice of opportunities7. The “leftover ... time” in Paragraph 3 pr obably refers to the time ________.A. spared for watching the match at homeB. taken to have dinner with friendsC. spent on the way to and from the matchD. saved from not going to watch the match8. What are forgone opportunities?A. Opportunities you forget in decision-making.B. Opportunities you give up for better ones.C. Opportunities you miss accidentally.D. Opportunities you make up for.CElizabeth Freeman was born about 1742 to African American parents who were slaves. At the age of six months she was acquired, along with her sister, by John Ashley, a wealthy Massachusetts slaveholders. She became known as “Mumbet” or “Mum Bett.”For nearly 30 years Mumbet served the Ashley family. One day, Ashley’s wife tried to strike Mumbet’s sister with a spade. Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead. Furious, she left the house and refused to his help, Mumbet sued(起诉) for her freedom.While serving the Ashleys, Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitution. If the constitution said that all people were free and equal, then she thought it should apply to her. Eventually, Mumbet won her freedom---- the first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new constitution.employee. She declined and instead went to work for Segdewick. Mumbet died in 1829, but her legacy lived on in her many descendants(后裔). One of her great-grandchildren was W.E.B. Du Bois, one of the founder of the NAACP, and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights. Mumb et’s tombstone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she was buried. It reads, in part: “She was born a slave and remained a slave for nearly thirty years. She could neither read nor write, yet in her own sphere she had no superior or equal.”9. What do we know about Mumbet according to Paragraph 1?A. She was born a slaveB. She was a slaveholderC. She had a famous sisterD. She was born into a rich family10. Why did Mumbet run away from the Ashleys?A. She found an employerB. She wanted to be a lawyerC. She was hit and got angryD. She had to take care of her sister11. What did Mumbet learn from discussions about the new consititution?A. She should always obey her owners’ ordersB. She should be as free and equal as whitesC. How to be a good servantD. How to apply for a job12. What did Mumbet do after the trial?A. She chose to work for a lawyerB. She found the NAACPC. She continued to serve the AshleysD. She went to live with her grandchildrenDPerhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money. Strange as it may seem, if you're unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires—not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes.Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities (能力) to enjoy life. Most people are already swamped(淹没) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut.Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅) , a royal palace. Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have.Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry.Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, play a bit.Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.13. The author intends to tell us that____________.A. true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair meansB. big houses are people's most valued possessionsC. big houses can in a sense bring richness of life14. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that__________.A. however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfiedB. however materially rich, they remain spiritually poorC. though their house is big, they prefer a simple lifeD. though their house is big, it seems to be a cage15. It can be learned from the passage that __________.A. more money brings more happinessB. art is needed to make your house beautifulC. literature can enrich your spiritual lifeD. sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness第二节七选五Speaking to a group can be difficult, but listening to a bad speech is truly a tiresome task—especially when the speaker is confusing. Don’t want to confuse your audience? Follow these suggestions:16____________________.17._____________________Sometimes we all start a sentence one way and then switch directions, which is very difficult to follow. When you confuse your listeners with opposing information, you leave the audience wondering what part of the information is right and what part they should remember. Instead of relying and keeping correcting yourself, work to get the facts clear and straight.18___________________________责任）on your listeners to make up for your lack of organiz ation. And it’s confusing for them to listen, reorganize, and figure out what you’re saying all at once. But going smoothly from one point to the next helps them understand information more easily. You can arrange things from beginning to end, small to large, top to bottom or by some other order. Just be sure to organise.19_____________________Repeated use of um, ah, like, you know and some other useless noises can drive an audience crazy. It makes the speaker sound uncertain and unprepared, and it can leave listeners so annoyed that they can’t pay attention. Recently I attended a speech that was marked by so many ums that audience members were rolling their eyes. Was anybody grasping the intended message? Um, probably not.20.______________________________-Many speakers finish up their speeches with question-and-answer (Q & A) sessions, but some let the Q & A go on without a clear end. The audience is often left confused about whether the meeting is over and when they can get up and leave. Do your listeners a favor by setting a time limit on questions, and close your speech with a specific signal—even if it’s something simple like, “If you have any more questions, you know where to reach me.”Or even more to the point, conclude your speech with “Thanks for your time. ”A. Be well-organized.B. Close with a Q & A.C. Don’t be contradictory.D. Bring it to a specific endE. Speak slowly and pause.F. Drop unnecessary wordsG. Speak briefly.完型填空(每题1.5分，共30分）Charlotte Whitehead was born in England in 1843, and moved to Montreal, Canada at the age of five with her family.

But turning your car radio up to full volume could probably make you end up in an accident. The performance of difficult tasks can be affected if people are subjected to loud noise. The experience of pulling up at traffic lights alongside cars with loud music made some psychologists in the University of Sydney look into whether loud music has something to do with driving.The psychologists invited 60 men and women aged between 20 and 28 as subjects and tested them on almost the same driving tasks under three noise conditions: silence, rock music played at a gentle 55 decibels(分贝), and the same music at 85 decibels.For 10 minutes the subjects sat in front of a screen operating a simple machine like a car. They had to track a moving disk on screen, respond to traffic signals changing color, and brake in response to arrows that appeared without warning.On the tracking task, there was no difference in performance under the three noise conditions. But under both the loud and quiet music conditions, the performers “braked” at a red light about 50 milliseconds sooner than they did when there was no rock music at all. That could mean a reduction in braking distance of a couple of meters actually, the difference between life and death for a pedestrian.When it came to the arrows that appeared across the visual field, the psychologists found that when the music was quiet，people responded faster to objects in their central field of sight by about 50 milliseconds. For the people listening at 85 decibels, response time dropped by a further 50 milliseconds—a whole tenth of second faster t han those “driving” with no music.“But there's a trade­off，” the psychologists told the European Congress of Psychology. “They lose the ability to look around the whole situation effectively.”In responding to objects that suddenly appeared, people subjec ted to 85­dec ibel rock music were around 100 milliseconds slower than both the other groups. Since some accidents—such as children running into the road—take place without any notice, drivers listening to loud music must be less safe as a result.【语篇解读】文章讲述了澳大利亚心理学家通过对60个男女司机在不放音乐、放55分贝音乐和85分贝音乐的情况下，看看音乐分贝的大小对司机会产生怎样的影响。

AIf there is one thing I'm sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers.It is not that newspapers are a necessity.Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio.Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday.But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.The nature of what is news may change.What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same.I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though.It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic engineering.In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送)electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home.In fact, I'm pretty sure that how it will happen in the future.You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news, etc.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media.They actually feed_off_each other.Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn't happened.What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air.And as for the Internet, it's never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.1.What is the best title for the passage?A.The Best Way to Get NewsB.The Changes of MediaC.Make Your Own NewspaperD.The Future of Newspaper答案D[标题归纳题。

ABritish teenagers look to the starsWhen their parents were children, they imagined a future standing in front of a class of pupils or doing the rounds(巡诊)as a doctor.But today's British teenagers, a survey suggests, seem to have set their sights only on becoming the next Leona Lewis or Wayne Rooney.Researchers questioned 3，000 teenagers about their ambitions and also asked parents about their youthful career hopes.According to the survey, youngsters dream of a celebrity(明星)lifestyle, perhaps after finding fame through shows such as the X Factor, and of being actors or sports stars. Copying the likes of Rooney and David Beckham was the top career ambition of today's teenagers, cited(提起)by 12 percent.Almost as many, 11 percent, wanted to be pop stars, and the same proportion(比例)dreamed of being actors.The success of celebrity chefs such as Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay is likely to explain why becoming a chef is now the dream of 5 percent, a career ambition which did not figure in the list of 25 years ago.A quarter of a century back teaching was the top career choice, cited by 15 percent.These days the job is chosen by only 4 percent.Of the traditional professions, only law has risen in popularity.The survey also suggests that more girls dream of becoming doctors and boys want careers as astronauts or firefighters.Child psychologist Laverne Antrobus said the findings reflect today's celebrity culture and warned children against unrealistic dreams.“Children see footballers, pop stars and actors on TV and their lives look exciting,glamorous(光鲜的)and fun，”she said.“It is hard for them to realize that they are the end product of a lot of ingredients including talent, determination and years of hard work.Wayne_Rooney_is_not_on_the_pitch(球场)by_chance.”As Antrobus pointed out, there is absolutely nothing wrong with children having big dreams, but “these have to be based on reality，”she said.1.The study suggests that today's British teenagers want to ____ sports stars, pop stars and actors.A.have the talent ofB.work as hard asC.enjoy the celebrity lifestyles ofD.become successful by chance like答案C[细节理解题。

单元综合检测(三)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AFood serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways.Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust.Food can also have a specific meaning，and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions.The foods we eat－and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural(农村的)and urban areas within one country.Sharing bread，whether during a special occasion(时刻)or at the family dinner table，is a common symbol of togetherness.Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests.Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread，so this tradition has its roots in the custom of sharing bread.Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations.In the southern United States，pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity(兴旺)in the New Year.In Greece，people share a special cake called vasilopita.A coin is put into the cake，which signifies(预示)success in the New Year for the person who receives it.Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child，and food can play a significant role.In China，when a baby is one month old，families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red­colored eggs to guests.In many cultures，round foods such as grapes，bread，and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.Nutrition is necessary for life，so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。
