Our 36 have done a lot for us, directly or indirectly and most of us 37 everything to their kindness and love.When we 38 them respect, whether it is by bowing to them, or 39 them with a smile, or offering them any help they need, it is one way of 40 our own love and gratitude to them. 41 , elders have also been through all the years you are 42 and know a little more about the world than you do.It is 43 that you do not agree with the belief of your elders, but this is nothing new. All younger generations have always 44 with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human 45 . However much you disagree with them, give them credit for their 46 .With changing times and 47 influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disrespect to elders. Youngsters should 48 express their views and if there are arguments, they should not 49 their voices.If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately 50 their places, and sit on the carpet. In buses and trains, youngsters are 51 to give up their places to older people. This is not a 52 of who has more rights. It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to bear 53 , or tolerate unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older and perhaps at a 54 disadvantage.When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become 55 that youngsters care for them, and they respond with affection and kindness.36.

Polly's son, Jim, had great difficulty in school. He was classified as the educationally handicapped and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers. But Jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room. His parents knew his difficulties, but they always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride. Shortly after Jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident. After his death, his mother submitted this letter to the newspaper.“Today we buried our 20-year-old son. He was killed in a motorcycle accident on Friday night. How I wish I had known that the last time I had talked to him would be t he last time. If I had only known that, I would have said to him, ‘Jim, I love you and I'm always so proud of you.' I would have taken the time to count the many blessings he had brought to the lives of the people who loved him. I would have taken the time to appreciate his beautiful smile, his laughter, and his genuine love to other people.“When I put all the good things on the scale and try to balance them with all the irritating (恼人的) things such as the radio that was always too loud, the haircut that wasn't to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed, etc., I find that the irritations really don't amount to much.“I won't get another chance to tell my son all that I would have wanted him to hear, but, other parents, do have a chance. Tell your young people what you would want them to hear as if it may be your last conversation. The last time I talked to Jim was the morning of the day when he died. He called me to say, ‘Hi, Mom! I just called to say I love you. You have to go to work now. Bye.' That day, he gaveme something to treasure forever. ”If there is any purpose at all for Jim's death, maybe it is to make others appreciate life more and to tell people, especially family members, that they should take the time to let each other know just how much they care. You may never have another chance. Do it today!56. Who was Jim?A. A school boy.B. The writer.C. The president of a school board.D. An official of a school.57. What's the meaning of the underlined phrase “the educationally ha ndicapped”?A. The learning difficulty.B. The physical problems.C. The psychological problems.D. The communication difficulty.58. According to the writer, which of the following about Jim is TRUE?A. He was always sad about his school marks.B. His parents always scolded him about his bad school marks.C. His study needed more attention from his parents and teachers.D. He was killed in a car accident.59. What did Polly think of Jim?A. He was a lovely boy with a beautiful smile who always loved others.B. He was physically sick but always happy.C. He was an irritating boy with some bad habits.D. He seldom expressed his love for his parents.60. The purpose of Polly's letter is to .A. memorize her sonB. teach parents to appreciate their childrenC. teach children how to be good boysD. give some advice on how to deal with children's problemsBWhile IQ (Intelligence Quotient) tells you how smart you are. EQ (Emotional Quotient) tells you how well you use your smartness. Professor Salovery, the psychologist who created the term, EQ, says that it is IQ that gets you hired but it is EQ that gets you promoted.Supported by his research, he suggested that when predicting future successes, a person's brainpower, as measured by IQ tests, might actually matter less than a person's character, or EQ. Professor Salovery may be correct. For example, have you ever wondered why some of the best and smartest students in your class end u p failing exams? Perhaps it is because of their EQ. People often make the mistake of thinking that EQ is the opposite of IQ. It is not. Although it is hoped that people have both high EQs and IQs, there is little doubt that those with low EQs have a hard time surviving in life.For a long time, researchers discussed if a person's IQ could be raised. The geneticists said no, while the social scientists said yes. Furthermore, the social scientists said that it was possible to improve a person's EQ, particularly in terms of “people skills”, such as u nderstanding and communication.Recently, a professor released the findings of a study on senior high school students. When some normal students were introduced to some disabled students, they found that afterwards they were more willing to help people in difficulties. At the same time, there was a marked change in the disabled students' attitudes. They became more positive about their disabilities and were more eager to try new things. People with high EQs often have positive attitudes towards life and are open to different ideas, so they tend to be more creative in their thinking. Please remember that havinga high IQ is helpful but having a high EQ might even be more helpful.61. According to Professor Salovery, what factor matters the most in predicting whether a person will be successful or not?A. How a person tests his / her brainpower.B. A person's character.C. How smart a person is.D. A person's IQ.62. The second paragraph tells us that .A. people who have a high IQ alwa ys have a high EQB. EQ is the opposite of IQC. people who have a low EQ tend to have a hard lifeD. people who have a high EQ always have a high IQ63. What did the professor find from his study of normal students being introduced to some disabled children?A. Students with disabilities were not open in trying new things.B. There was no change in the normal students.C. The disabled students became more positive and more eager to try new things.D. The disabled students were more willing to help others.64. Which of the following is the writer's attitude toward EQ and IQ?A. IQ is more helpful to people than EQ.B. IQ can be raised by understanding and communication.C. EQ can get people hired.D. A high EQ is of great benefit in getting people promoted.65. Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?A. A person's brainpower.B. IQ, EQ and success.C. IQ and a person's character.D. A person's IQ and EQ.CHave you ever heard of blogs (博客)? If you haven't, you should have. It's here, it's growing and it's having an influence on our life. Surf the Internet and you'll find blogs everywhere. A blog, shortened from “weblog”, is a public Internet journal written by one person or a group of people. It is a website in which a person or a group can place news, personal thoughts, text, photos, video or audio files, or links upon which visitors can comment. A blog lets you post on the Internet without having to know web design or be technical. You are given an environment to make dated entries on the topic of your choice which are “publish ed”, so other people can read them.Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Blogging has revolutionized Internet publishing i n the lastseveral years because it gives everyone with Internet access the opportunity to become an online writer. Objects, such as “text and photos” in a blog can be called “blog posts”, “posts”, or “entries”. The person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”.Now, somewhere around the world, a blog is created almost every 6 seconds. Because it's great potential, Bill Gates views it as important as e-mail, BBS, and MSN. He's trying to make blogs the important tools for future business communications.66. A blog is .A. a commentB. an Internet journalC. a designD. a link67. A person can do the following things in a blog EXCEPT _______.A. talk to othersB. give commentsC. read articlesD. enjoy photos68. Who is a blogger?A. A person who posts letters.B. A person who writes articles.C. A person who posts text or photos in a blog.D. A person who is an online publisher.69. From the passage we know that .A. Bill Gates will invent some tools for blogsB. blogs will be an important business communication tool in the futureC. so far, only a few persons have created blogsD. blogs will replace e-mail, BBS and MSN in the future70. According to the passage, the reason why blogs are so popular is that they ____.A. give everyone the chance to be an online writerB. can be created by people without much knowledge of computer technologyC. enable a blogger to place news, personal thoughts, text and photos and give commentsD. all of the aboveDAll Eskimos live most of their lives close to sea or fresh water. They may follow game inland for several hundred miles, but they always return to the shores of rivers, lakes, or seas. Eskimo land has a bare look. Large rocks, pebbles, and sand cover much of the surface. Plants called lichen (地衣) grow on the rocks, and where there is enough soil, grass, flowers, and even small bushes manage to live. No trees can grow on Eskimo land, so geographers sometimes call it the Arctic plains. There are some animals in Eskimo land, such as rabbits, which eat the plants. Other animals, like the white fox and the gray wolf, eat the rabbits. The Eskimo is a meat-eater, too, and may even eat a wolf when food is scarce.The Eskimo year has two main parts: a long, cold winter and a short, cool summer. Spring and fall are almost too short to be noticed. Summer is the best time, as food is usually plentiful. But it is also the time when Eskimos are very busy. Winter is never far away, and the men must bring home extra meat for the women to prepare and store, for seldom can enough animals be killed in winter to feed a family.The Far North is sometimes called the land of the midnight sun. This is true in the middle of summer, for between April 21st and August 21st the sun never sets in Northern Greenland. But in midwinter the Far North is a land with no sunshine at all. Around Oct. 21st the Eskimos of Northern Greenland see the sun set directly south of them, and they don't see it again until February 22nd. All places on earth get about the same amount of daylight during a year. As a result, if summer is lighter, winter has to be darker.Winter nights in the Far North are seldom pitch-black. As in the rest of the world, the stars and moon provide a little light. The northern lights also help the Eskimo to see. And with the ground covered with snow, even a little light is reflected back to the Eskimo's eyes.71. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Eskimos do not usually eat wolves.B. Eskimos like to chase one another.C. Eskimos depend heavily on water.D. Eskimos are meat-eaters.72. In the Eskimo year, _________.A. there is no spring and fallB. winter is cold and summer is hotC. summer is a time for growing foodD. winter comes early and goes late73. What's the meaning of the underlined words “pitch-black” in Paragraph 4?A. Dark with a little light.B. A little dark.C. Not dark at all.D. Extremely dark.74. From the passage, we can infer all of the following EXCEPT that_______.A. Eskimos are more likely to eat wolves in summerB. Eskimo women are responsible for houseworkC. meat is the main source of food for the EskimoD. hunting is an important part of Eskimo life75. Why is summer lighter in the Far North?A. Because the Far North is far away from the sun.B. Because the sun is not seen for five months of the year.C. Because the sun never sets in midsummer.D. Because people see the sun set directly south of them.V 阅读表达阅读下面的短文,并根据文章后的题目要求回答76-80小题。

Nearly every robot has been made in some way 1 up to a certain level or temperature. The machine will wait for “feedback” about the water2 or temperature before it begins the washing cycle. In this way, a washing machine has been patterned after humans. We depend on3 from our five senses to find out what is happening around us and then make decisions about our actions.Of course, some machines perform functions like humans, but much 4 than we do, such as calculators. A pocket calculator works faster than a human, never makes mistakes, and doesn’t get 5 or bored.Other robots are very similar to humans in their ability 6 new things. In factories, robots can learn to do many different tasks, as they are shown by a human operator. For example, in a car factory, a person will guide a robot’s “arm” and “7 ” through the steps of the new job. The robot’s electronic “brain” will8 the information away, memorizing the steps so the next time it 9 can repeat the movements without a human operator. When the robot must be moved to a new job, its memory is 10 so it is ready to learn the next job. Of course, at any time if there is anything 11in the process, different from the original task, the robot cannot 12 with it. It will signal for an engineer to come for repairs.Some robots are considered very intelligent because they have more human abilities than others, such as “seeing” 13 cameras for eyes or “feeling” with metal fingers that can14 shapes and even temperatures. However, no machine has 15 been able to copy the complexity of the simplest, most common person.1. A. similar B. familiar C. sensitive D. different2. A. depth B. level C. fullness D. warning3. A. feelings B. touch C. feedback D. response4. A. faster B. more slowly C. worse D. better5. A. tiring B. exciting C. excited D. tired6. A. of learning B. to learn C. to copy D. to memorize7. A. hand B. body C. elbow D. brain8. A. take B. put C. store D. give9. A. correct B. similar C. same D. different10. A. erased B. refreshed C. kept D. stored11. A. usual B. unusual C. wrong D. strange12. A. do B. deal C. stay D. solve13. A. in B. by C. with D. from14. A. see B. sense C. know D. predict15. A. already B. never C. even D. ever三、阅读理解(共2题;共30分)(一)The human brain contains 10 thousand million cells and each of these may have a thousand connections. Such enormous numbers used to discourage us and cause us to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability, but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace we can be less sure. Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years perhaps, we will be able to assemble a machine as complex as the human brain, and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to render it intelligent by loading in the right software (软件)or by altering the architecture but that too will happen.I think it certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon (硅) will arise first to compete and then do better than their human ancestors. Once they do better than us they will be capable of their own design. In a real sense they will be able to reproduce themselves. Silicon will have endedcarbon's long control. And we will no longer be able to claim ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the known universe.As the intelligence of robots increases to match that of humans and as their cost declines through economies of scale we may use them to improve environments. Thus, deserts may bloom and the ocean beds be mined. Further ahead, by a combination of the great wealth this new age will bring and the technology it will provide, the construction of a vast, man-created world in space, home to thousands or millions of people, will be within our power.(1)In what way can we make a machine intelligent? ()A. By making it work in such environments as deserts, oceans or space.B. By working hard for 10 or 20 years.C. By either properly programming it or changing its structure.D. By reproducing it.(2)What does the writer think about machines with human-like ability? ()A. He believes they will be useful to human beings.B. He believes that they will control us in the future.C. He is not quite sure in what way they may influence us.D. He doesn't consider the construction of such machines possible.(3)The word “carbon” (Line 4, Para.2) stands for _________.A. intelligent robotsB. a chemical elementC. an organic substanceD. human beings(4)It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. after connections with phones, robots will be able to have self-reproductionB. people have come to realize the possibility of making a machine with human-like abilityC. once we make a machine as complex as the human brain, it will have intelligenceD. robots will have control of the vast, man-made world in space(二)Mark Twain has been called the inventor of the American novel.And he surely deserves additional praise:the man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism.I say clever because anti-slavery fiction had been the important part of the literature in the years before the Civil War.H.B.Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin is only the most famous example.These early stories dealt directly with slavery.With minor exceptions,Twain planted his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the surface about something else entirely.He drew his readers into the argument by drawing them into the story.Again and again,in the postwar years,Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race.Consider the most controversial,at least today,of Twain's novels,Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.Only a few books have been kicked off the shelves as often as Huckleberry Finn,Twain's most widely read tale.Once upon a time,people hated the book because it struck them as rude.Twain himself wrote that those who banned the book considered the novel “trash and suitable only for the slums(贫民窟).”More recently the book has been attacked because of the character Jim,the escaped slave,and many occurences of the word nigger.(The term Nigger Jim,for which the novel is often severely criticized,never appears in it.)But the attacks were and are silly—and miss the point.The novel is strongly anti-slavery.Jim's search through the slave states for the family from whom he has been forcibly parted is heroic.As J.Chadwick has pointed out,the character of Jim was a first in American fiction—a recognition that the slave had two personalities,“the voice of survival within a white slave culture and the voice of the individual:Jim,the father and the man.”There is much more.Twain's mystery novel Pudd'nhead Wilson stood as a challenge to the racial beliefs of even many of the liberals of his day.Written at a time when the accepted wisdom held Negroes to be inferior(低等的)to whites,especially in intelligence,Twain's tale centered in part around two babies switched at birth.A slave gave birth to her master's baby and,for fear that the child should be sold South,switched him for the master's baby by his wife.The slave's lightskinned child was taken to be white and grew up with both the attitudes and the education of theslave-holding class.The master's wife's baby was taken for black and grew up with the attitudes and intonations of the slave.The point was difficult to miss:nurture(养育),not nature,was the key to social status.The features of the black man that provided the stuff of prejudice—manner of speech,for example—were,to Twain,indicative of nothing other than the conditioning that slavery forced on its victims.Twain's racial tone was not perfect.One is left uneasy,for example,by the lengthy passage in his autobiography(自传)about how much he loved w hat were called“nigger shows”in his youth—mostly with white men performing in black-face—and his delight in getting his mother to laugh at them.Yet there is no reason to think Twain saw the shows as representing reality.His frequent attacks on slavery and prejudice suggest his keen awareness that they did not.Was Twain a racist?Asking the question in the 21st century is as wise as asking the same of Lincoln.If we read the words and attitudes of the past through the“wisdom”of the considered moral judgments of the present,we will find nothing but error.Lincoln,who believed the black man the inferior of the white,fought and won a war to free him.And Twain,raised in a slave state,briefly a soldier,and inventor of Jim,may have done more to anger the nation over racial injustice and awaken its collective conscience than any other novelist in the past century.(1)How do Twain's novels on slavery differ from Stowe's? ()A. Twain was more willng to deal with racism.B. Twain's attack on racism was much less open.C. Twain's themes seemed to agree with plots.D. Twain was openly concerned with racism.(2)Recent criticism of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn arose partly from its________.A. target readers at the bottomB. anti-slavery attitudeC. rather impolite languageD. frequent use of “nigger”(3)What best proves Twain's anti-slavery stand according to the author? ()A. Jim's search for his family was described in detail.B. The slave's voice was first heard in American novels.C. Jim grew up into a man and a father in the white culture.D. Twain suspected that the slaves were less intelligent.(4)The story of two babies switched mainly indicates that________.A. slaves were forced to give up their babies to their mastersB. slaves' babies could pick up slave-holders' way of speakingC. blacks' social position was shaped by how they were brought upD. blacks were born with certain features of prejudice(5)What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 7 refer to? ()A. The attacks.B. Slavery and prejudice.C. White men.D. The shows. (6)What does the author mainly argue for? ()A. Twain had done more than his contemporary writers to attack racism.B. Twain was an admirable figure comparable to Abraham Lincoln.C. Twain's works had been banned on unreasonable grounds.D. Twain's works should be read from a historical point of view.四、任务型阅读(共5分)It's nice being nice to others; it's also great to give people a hand. However, if you start to hurt yourself by doing so, then this is not so healthy.________If you fear that you might fall into this category, the following tips will help you to stand up for yourself and regain your self-confidence. ________Although you may often stay silent if something is wrong or bothers you, it is better to speak your mind right away. You don't have to be rude, but you do have to be firm and direct. Don't do things for others if you don't really want to. Speak up, and soon others will be seeing you in a whole new light.Start small.________This will allow you to practice being brave and self-confident. Tell a person who has cut in line in front of you to move to the back of the line, or tell a salesperson to do that. Before long, you will be confident enough to stand up to your friends and family members.Judge well.When dealing with others, you have to exercise good judgment. ________If a colleague isn't doing his part, you should rightfully demand that he start doing so. However, if a taxi cuts you off in traffic, just let it go.________Rome wasn't built in a day. If you want to get back again after having been a pushover(耳软心活的人), it's best to take one step at a time.A. Express yourself.B. Regain your confidence.C. Start by speaking up for yourself with strangers.D. Everyone has the right to live without being judged.E. If you slip back into the pushover mode every once in a while, don't blame yourself.F. Sadly, some people are so easily pushed around that they come to be seen as pushovers.G. It's one thing to be confident, but quite another to forcefully say no to an unreasonable request.五、翻译(共10分)1.我们最终一定会成功。

AFood Parts You Should Never Throw Away in the Garbage Pineapple CoreWhen you carve out the core of a pineapple, don't throw it in the garbage. You can use the pineapple core for all kinds of recipes, and there are tons of vitamins and minerals hiding within. To use the pineapple core: chop it and add it to fruit salad, blend it into smoothies, cut it into cubes and freeze for later use, or simply add it to water or even tea to improve flavor.Kiwi SkinIf you never thought you could eat kiwi in the way you eat a peach, think again. That skin really is good for you and contains a lot of vitamin C, and in fact, it's also higher in fiber than the rest of the fruit. Of course, that rough, ugly skin isn't for everyone, so if you don't like it, try adding a whole kiwi to a smoothie to hide the taste of the skin.Banana PeelMost of us eat the banana without giving the soft peel a second thought. Here's why that's a mistake: banana peel contains tryptophan(色氨酸), which increases "the happiness hormone" to help with mood regulation and nerve system. There are a few creative ways to use the peel. Cook or boil for at least 10 minutes to soften. You can add it to smoothies, stir-fries, or soups. And, for a treat, simply slice and bake a banana with the skin on.Watermelon Skin and SeedThe delicious, red inside makes for a refreshing snack or juice, but you're able to get some powerful nutrients in the skin and seeds as well. Cut out the white part under the green outside and use it in your cooking. It has vitamin C and B6, to keep you healthy. As for the seeds, you can roast them in the oven. Then add them to salads or to nut snacks.21. Which of the following has a larger amount of fiber than its other parts?A. Pineapple cores.B. Kiwi skin.C. Banana peel.D. Watermelon skin and seeds.22. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. All the food above can be added to smoothies.B. Kiwi skin can be roasted in the oven.C. Banana peel can help lift people's moods.D. The green part of watermelon has vitamin C and B6.23. Where can we most probably read this text?A. In a botany instruction.B. In a medicine brochure.C. In a fruitarian's recipe.D. In a nutrition report.BThe stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell.Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it like this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free.”There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else.Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.Honesty and openness is important: it proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.24. What’s the function of the example in Paragraph 2?A. It reflects that people are concerning about the spread of Ebola.B. It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.C. It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.D. It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.25. Which is close in meaning to the underlined word “uncorked” in Paragraph 3?A. freedB. brokenC. unfoldedD. untouched26. One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that _______.A. story-sharing highlights the importance of hard workB. people are used to exposing their weaknessesC. people sometimes have no courage to share their storiesD. some stories make themselves feel sad27. The writer aims to convince us to _______.A. be open to people close to you by sharing some secretsB. share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselvesC. remove the dangers that can be caused by untold storiesD. realize the importance of being honest when making friendsCA qualified doctor who rarely practised but instead devoted his life to writing. He once said, “Medicine is my lawful wife and literature is my lover.”Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was a great playwright(剧作家) and one of the masters of the modern short story.When Clekhov entered the Moscow University Medical School in 1879,he started to publish hundreds of comic short stories to support his family. After he graduated, he wrote regularly for a local daily newspaper.As a writer he was extremely fast,often producing a short story in an hour or less. Checkhov’s medical and science experience can be seen through the indifference many of his characters show to tragic(悲剧的) events. In 1892, he became a full-time writer and published some of his most memorable stories.Chekhov often wrote about the sufferings of life in small towns of Russia. Tragic events controlled his characters who were filled with feelings of hopelessness and despair.It is often said that nothing happens in Chekhov’s stories and plays.He made up for this with his exciting technique for developing drama within his characters. Chekhov’s works combined the calm attitude of a scien tist and doctor with thesensitivity of an artist.Some of Chekhov’s works were translated into Chinese as early as the 1940s.One of his famous stories,“The Man in a Shell ”,about a school teacher’s extraordinarily orderly life was selected as a text for Chinese senior students.28. Anton Pavlovich Chekhov ________ .A. had a lawful loverB. wrote only short storiesC. used to be a lawyerD. was a capable doctor29. In 1880, Chekhov .A. became a full-time writerB. studied medicine in Moscow UniversityC. practiced medicine in his hometownD. published his most memorable stories30. According to the passage,which of the following words can’t be used to describe Chekhov?A. Sensitive.B. Calm.C. Quick-minded.D. Warm-hearted.31. Which of the following is the right order of the events?a. became a doctorb. became a full-time writerc. started to publish comic short storiesd. wrote regularly for a local daily newspapere. entered the Moscow University Medical SchoolA. e c a d bB. d a b c eC. e c b a dD. a e c b dDGive yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child’s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的) to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admit ted they’d felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a "ruby-crowned kinglet" and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of "time" and "destination"(目的地)are further blocks toawareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. "Oh, a few birds," they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations(感觉). Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.32.What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?A. To avoid jumping to conclusions.B. To stop complaining all the time.C. To follow the teacher's advice.D. To admit mistakes honestly.33. The bird watchers’ behavior shows that they __________.A. are very patient in their observationB. are really fascinated by natureC. care only about the names of birdsD. question the accuracy of the field guides34. Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?A. The natural beauty isn't attractive to them.B. They focus on arriving at the camp in time.C. The forest in the dark is dangerous for them.D. They are keen to see rare birds at the destination.35. In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should __________.A. use our senses to feel the wonders of the worldB.get rid of some bad habits in our daily lifeC.open our mind to new things and ideasD.try our best to protect nature第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Due to his old age, he was going bald, which made him feel too cold to swim in the pool. Therefore, biologists at the academy had a wet suit created for this penguin to help him get back in the swimming pool.Unlike marine mammals, which have a layer of blubber to keep them warm, penguins depend on their waterproof feathers. Without them, Pierre was unwilling to jump into the swimming pool and ended up trembling on the side of the pool while his 19 peers played in the water.“He was cold; he would shake,”said Pam Schaller, a senior biologist. Schaller first tried a heat lamp to keep Pierre warm. Then she got another idea: if wet suits keep humans warm in the cold Pacific, why not make one for Pierre?Schaller designed the suit, which covered Pierre’s body and had small openings for his flippers.“I would walk behind him and look at where there were any gaps, and cut and refit and cut and refit until it looked like it was extremely suitable,”she said.One concern was that the other penguins would reject Pierre in his new suit, but in fact, they accepted his new look. He swam freely and got along with others well, although he was the only penguin with a black stomach.Schaller couldn’t say for sure whether the wet suit allowed Pierre to recover his fine feathers, but “certainly we were able to keep him comfortable during a period of time that would have been very difficult for him to stay comfortable”.Pierre will take off his suit after his new feathers grow back.1.

She said, “Now it is the time for you to travel around the world, 37 your knowledge through actual experiences and have fun?” I38 her.Since I started to work for a 39 company, however, I have done most of my traveling through the Internet. By using the Internet, I have seen the 40 of many cities on my computer screen. And I have really made business 41 , too. With the help of the Internet, I have also got 42 about food in different countries.Therefore, I was beginning to feel that actual trips were 43 necessary when I happened to read a famous chef's (厨师) comment on the Internet. He said, “It is very difficult to have real Italian food in a foreign country, because we enjoy food and the 44 around us at the same time. So why don't you fly over to Italy and enjoy real Italian 45 ? “Those words reminded me of my 46 advice. As information technolongy 47 , you might be able to do without making some real trips. But this also means that you will miss the various 48 you can get from traveling.Today there are people who 49 direct communication with others and spend much of their time on the Internet.

Unit 2 RobotⅠ.阅读理解AAs civilization proceeds in the direction of technology, it passes the pointof supplying all the basic essentials of life —food, shelter, clothes and warmth. Then we are faced with a choice between using technology to provide and fulfill needs which have now been regarded as unnecessary or, on the other hand, using technology to reduce the number of hours of work which a man must do in order to earn a given standard of living. In other words, we either raise our standard of living above that necessary for comfort and happiness or we leave itat this level and work shorter hours.I shall take it for granted that mankind has, by that time, chosen the latter alternative. Men will be working shorter and shorter hours in their paid employment. It follows that the housewife will also expect to be able to have more leisure in her life without lowering her standard of living. It also follows that human domestic servants will have completely ceased to exist. Yet the great majority of the housewives will wish to be relieved completely from the routine operations of the home such as scrubbing the floors or the bath of the cooker, or washing the clothes or washing up, or dusting or sweeping, ormaking beds. By far the most logical step to relieve the housewife of routine is to provide a robot which can be trained to the requirements of a particular home and can be programmed to carry out half a dozen or more standard operation, whenis switched by the housewife.1.As civilization develops in the direction of technology, ________.A.the basic essentials of life must be suppliedB.it is important to supply the basic essentials of lifeC.it is no longer so important as it was in the past to supply all thebasic essentials of lifeD.it is not necessary to supply the basic essentials of life2.According to the author, we are faced with ________.A.the choice of providing and fulfilling our needsB.the choice of using technologyC.the choice of earning a standard of living D.a choice between using technology to provide and fulfill needs to reducethe number of working hours3.What alternative will mankind have chosen in future?A.To leave our standard of living at this level and work shorter hours.B.To raise our standard of living.C.To fulfill needs which have been regarded as unnecessary.D.To lower our standard of living and work shorter hours.4.It can be inferred that robots will be invented ________.A.to take the place of housewivesB.to help manage a familyC.to do the routine of housework instead of humanD.to provide the daily necessities for manBI log onto a computer at the doctor's office to say I have arrived and thenwait until a voice calls me into the examination room. There, a robotic nurse directs me onto the scales and then takes my blood pressure. Some time later, in steps the doctor, who is also a robot. He notes down my symptoms and gives me a prescription. I pay for my visit using a credit card machine and return home without having encountered another human being. This scenario (场景) is my nightmarish (噩梦般的) vision of the future,which hasn't come to pass — at least not yet.I should say I really do like many aspects of technology. I am a big fan ofair conditioning in the summer and heaters in winter. But I am writing thisbecause I don't want machines to take over. When I call my dentist's office and actually get a human being on the line,I am thrilled. And when I see the introduction of yet more selfservice checkout stations at the grocery store, I feel like shouting: “When it comes to cashiers(收银员), make mine human, please!”After all, human cashiers sometimes give you a store coupon (优惠券) foritems you are buying but you didn't realize were on sale. Even more than that, real life cashiers often take an interest in particularly cute children, which can brighten a young mother's day. A cashier may also show compassion for an elderly person struggling to get that last penny out of her purse. What technological device would do any of this? I don't want to go back tothe Store Age, but I'm also worried about a world run by machines. Sometimes when you're chatting with someone, you discover things you need to know. Maybe a receptionist needs prayers said for a sick child. Maybe a sales person can offera bit of encouragement for a customer who is feeling tired. Machines can be efficient and costeffective and they often get the j ob donejust fine. But they lack anso crucial to everyday life.elementIt is being human that prompts (促使) us to smile at others, which may be what they need at that moment. Call it the spirit, the soul or the heart. It issomething no machine will ever have.5.What's the author's purpose in writing the first two paragraphs?A.To indicate high technology can make our future life very efficient.B.To warn readers of the possible dangers of robotic nurses and doctors. C.To describe a possible future scene where robots take control of ourlife. D.To predict how technology can affect the way we see a doctor in thefuture. 6.What is the main reason that the author prefers being served by humansrather than by robots?A.Robots don't offer to give store coupons.B.Robots are indifferent and emotionless.C.Services from robots cost less time and more money.D.Robots can't do a job as well as humans do.7.What does the underlined word “element” mean in the eighth paragraph?B.The ability to speak.A.Humor.D.Effective communication.C.Methods.8.What's the main idea of the text?A.The opinion about using man or machine.B.Machines give people a lot of convenience.C.Being human service is better than service from machines.D.Being human service cost little money.CWhen he was just 19, Michael Dell started the companythat wouldthe industry.dominateAt the time, IBM personal computers sold in stores forabout $3,000. After taking them apart and rebuilding them,Dell realized the components (零部件) cou ld be bought for onefourth the price. Soon he was buying components to reduce the cost. A good business decision, but it meant his room was starting to look like a mechanic's shop.“I was quite excited about the possibilities for personal computers and ho w they could change society. I had this idea to sell the products directly to the user over the phone.” he said. College plans and his parents' expectations bothered him a lot. But Michael Dell was determined. He drove off to the University of Texas at Austin in August 1983 in a car he'd bought with earnings from selling newspapers. He was surprised that his mother wasn't suspicious about the three computers in the backseat. By November, news reached his parents that he wasn't attending classes. On a surprise visit to Austin, they caught their son on spot. Michael Dell told dad that he wanted to compete with IBM. Although Michael agreed to focus on his studies, the business chances andthe timing couldn't have been better. The public was becoming more interested in computers, but no one was producing them. In early May, a week before his final exams, Michael started Dell Computer Corporation with $1,000. He took his exam, and then dropped out of college at the end of his freshman year. It was time totry out his directtocustomer business model.“Three years later,”Dell says “we had already achieved annual sales ofabout $150 million. I was 22 years old then.”9.What does the underlined word in paragraph 1 mean?A.Affect. B.Develop. C.Support. D.Lead.10.Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraph 2?A.Dell discovered a good chance to make money.B.Dell could buy a computer at onefourth the price.C.IBM made little money from personal computers.D.Dell rebuilt computers in a mechanic's shop. 11.When Dell's parents learned about his absence from class, they ________.A.tried to help with his businessB.were too suspicious to accept itC.wanted him to go back to classD.encouraged him to compete with IBM12.It can be inferred from the article that ________.A.Dell was tired of his college lifeB.Dell was not devoted to his study at collegeC.Dell's college life helped him greatlyD.Dell didn't finish his final examsDStarting high school life can be extremely exciting and at the same timener vewracking. You may worry about all these things: what classes to take, what to wear on the first day of school and what will everyone think of you? But sofar high school has been the best experience for me ever. On my first day of high school, I asked a senior where my class was, and hetold me it was on the fourth floor, next to the pool. I found out five minutes later that we didn't even have a fourth floor and had no pool either! Besidesthat event, I didn't have any trouble with the older kids.I think the biggest difference between middle and high school is the homework load and the size of the school. I went from fifteen minutes of homework a night to several hours, so I had to learn time management pretty quickly! Our class size was around 550, so being exposed (暴露) to so many new people was a big change. Getting involved in clubs, sports, music and other activities at school makes it easier to get to know people in every grade —it's always useful to have an upperclassman friend! The best suggestion I can give about the four years you spend in high schoolis to learn things for the sake of learning, not just to get a good grade. There have been so many tests that I've crammed (突击式学习) on the night before and got an A, but now I don't remember anything. I've changed that this year, and I enjoy school so much more. Relating to academics, don't take easy classes just to have a simple year. If you have a choice between “AP Chemistry” and“Racquet Sports”, the first will prove to be more useful!13.On the first day of high school, the author ________.A.failed to adapt himself to a new environmentB.found it was hard for him to get on with new classmatesC.was teased by a senior studentD.lost his way in the schoolyard 14.Which of the following is TRUE about the author's advice on high schoollife?A.Making as many upperclassmen friends as possible.B.Taking an active part in various afterschool activities.C.Trying to obtain useful knowledge instead of getting good grades.D.Choosing easy but useful courses instead of practical ones.15.In writing the text, the author intends to ________.A.tell others his firstday experience at high schoolB.express his opinions on high school educationC.describe what can be learnt at high schoolD.share his life and thoughts at high schoolⅡ.任务型阅读Many people experience feelings of sadness, and depression in winter.16.________Make a planThe winter months can often seem quite dull, many of us spending the majority of our time indoors.

As a result, nobody knew truth. I stillthink that it was right to do so.Ⅵ.书面表达电影《哈利波特》受到人们的普遍欢迎,创造了很高的票房纪录,成为电影业的奇迹,全世界的孩子都为哈利波特的魔力着迷。
