However , you may find that your gestures happen out of habit. Understanding appropriate gesture of the country you’re visiting may prevent you from communicating the wrong message.Gestures in BrazilMuch like the Italian culture, a Brazilian snaps his fingers (打响指) and uses exaggerated (夸张的) hand movements when emphasizing a statement. The sense of warmth and friendliness with each other is shown through the gesture of eye contact when communicating and standing close together in lineups or when talking to each other. Communicating a greeting is more than the gesture of a handshake, but also involves the touch of the forearm.Gestures in ChinaYou communicate a greeting in china with the gesture of a slight nod and bow. To communicate respect , you keep your head lowered. In china , the gesture of standing close during a conversation prevents having to communicate in a raised voice. A person will communicate her surprise during a conversation with the gesture of breathing in air loudly, rather than a loud outburst.Gestures in IndiaGestures used in India are representative of its traditional culture. In India, the gesture of holding out the hand to communicate giving or receiving must be done with the right hand as a person in India uses her left hand for washing. The gesture of communicating respect at a religious ceremony is done by removing your shoes. The proper way of communicating direction is to use either the whole hand or by using your chin(下巴). The proper form of communicating a greeting is to press the palms together with fingers upward and say, “Namaste”.1.The passage is mainly about_________.A.something traveling tips for visitorsB. the advantage of using body languageC. some gestures in different cultureD. the comparison between gestures2. In china people stand close while talking simply to _______.A. avoid a loud voiceB. show their surpriseC. communicate a greetingD. express their respect3. In India, a proper gesture of greeting is __________.A. touching the forearmB. keeping your head loweredC. shaking hands with the left handD. pressing the palms together upwardBLast night, I had the misfortune of eating at The BurgerShack. What I had hoped to be a romantic anniversary dinner for my wife Gladys and I turned out to be a very disappointing dining experience.I began to have my doubts the moment we walked inside. The dining room itself was clean, but the decoration was far too gaudy(花哨的) for my tastes. Multicolored images of clowns and large cartoon animals were stuck on almost every single wall. The tables were a bright lime green(橙绿). It certainly did not look like the romantic restaurant that I was hoping for, but I am not one to judge a book by its cover.Glaudy and I stood for what seemed like an hour waiting to be seated, but not a single employee even glanced our way. Finally , we decided to just locate a table on our own. Although the restaurant was fairly crowded, we were able to find a table in the back. We took our seats and waited for a member of the staff to bring us menus.An unbearable amount of time passed and there was still no sign of a waiter or waitress. Perhaps noticing our frustration, a customer sitting at the table next to us informed us that there were no waiters. Instead, we had to place our orders at the front of the restaurant and then bring our own food back to the table.No waiters? Who came up with the idea? What is the purpose of dining out if you have to get up and serve yourself? I was about to storm out, but my wife calmed me down.Eventually , Glaudy volunteered to get the food for us. Somehow, I did manage to eat six of the hamburgers, but the seventh proved far too greasy(油腻的) for my liking. The chocolate milk shake that they offered for dessert was acceptable, but the cup it came in was very small.Over all, the BrugerShack’s combination of dreadful decoration, nonexistence service, and disappointing food make it a place to avoid. I certainly hope we will find a better place to celebrate our 51st anniversary next year!4.What does the author think of the decoration of the BurgerShack?A. excellentB. ordinaryC. dullD. terrible5 When the author found The BurgerShack had no waiters, he________.A. was quite angryB. volunteered to get the foodC. decided to locate a tableD. was very curious6.What do we know about the BurgerShack?A. It was very famous for its styleB. It was a self-service restaurantC. It had a quiet environment insideD. It was crowded with dining tablesCMany traffic jams leave drivers puzzled as they finally reach the end of a tail-back to find no visible cause for their delay. Now, a team of mathematicians have found the answer by developing a model to show how major delays occur on our roads, with no apparent (显然的) cause.The model showed that a driver, slowing down below a critical speed (极限速率) when reacting to unexpected events, forces the car behind to slow down further and the next car back to reduce its speed still further. The result of this is that several miles back, cars would finally come to a stop, with drivers unaware of the reason for their delay. The model predicts that this is a very typical situation on a busy highway (above 15 vehicles per km). The jam moves backwards through the traffic creating a so-called “backward travelling wave”, which drivers may encounter many miles upstream, several minutes after it was caused.Drivers and policy-makers have not previously known why jams like this occur, though many have put it down to the sheer volume of traffic. While this clearly plays a part in this new theory, the main issue is around the smoothness of traffic flow. According to the model, heavy traffic will not automatically lead to jams but can be smooth-flowing. This model takes into account the time delay in drivers’ reactions, which lead to drivers braking more heavily than if they had identified (识别) and reacted to a problem ahead a second earlier.When a driver taps the brake, the traffic may come to a full standstill several miles behind. It really matters how hard a driver brake — a slight braking from a driver who has identified a problem early will allow the traffic flow to remain smooth. Heavier braking, usually caused by a driver reacting late to a problem, can affect traffic flow for many miles.7. From the passage, we learn that __________.A. drivers are often unaware of the reason why a traffic jam happensB. many drivers don’t know how to deal with unexpected eventsC. heavy traffic often forces drivers to slow downD. traffic jams often happen on a busy highway8. Which of the following is NOT included in the new theory?A. Width of roads.B. Traffic speed.C. Traffic smoothness.D. Delay time.9. Traffic jams can be avoided when ________.A. mathematicians develop a modelB. there is a visible cause of the delayC. there is a backward travelling waveD. drivers react to problems early10. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A new model developed by mathematicians.B. Traffic jams caused by slowly-reacting drivers.C. The mystery of traffic jams solved by mathematicians.D. Impacts of slight and heavy braking.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

AI’ve often wondered if I might do more good as a travel agent rather than as a psychologist. It seems that I have been more dramatically affected by certain kinds of travel experiences than I ever have.My trip to Iceland is a fine example of that. The plan was to spend two days in a remote mountain hut in Iceland. I was working on a photographic book about winter in Iceland and needed to capture images of this amazing region of high mountain peaks, smoky volcanoes, and lakes with floating icebergs.The moment after we arrived, the weather turned extreme making visibility impossible. It snowed so much and the w ind blew so hard that we couldn’t leave the tiny hut. To stay warm, we walked around in circles much of the day inside the tiny hut. We tried to call for help but the radio did not work. Day after day, we watched our supplies of food and fuel grow dangerously short. We got acute cabin fever (幽居病) and started going for walks and ski expeditions outside. Even when the weather finally broke, nobody came to get us even though it was three days beyond our scheduled pickup. By the time the rescue team came to pull us out, we had all given up hope.From then on, the world looks different to me, as does my life. It would have taken me years of psychotherapy to get to the same point.Almost everyone has a story to tell, and interestingly, most of these experiences were not altogether pleasant at the time. In fact, it appears that the most constructive life-changing journeys were those that involved some sorts of awful and uncomfortable events that forced the person to develop new resources, increase confidence, and solve problems in new ways.1. The writer went to Iceland to ______.A. enjoy the natural beautiful floating icebergsB. take photos about the region for a bookC. collect materials for psychological researchD. challenge the high mountains there2. During the trip in Iceland, those travelers faced difficulties EXCEPT that ______.A. they got lost in the mountainB. they were short of food and fuelC. they couldn’t see the surroundings clearlyD. they failed to get in touch with the rescue team3. From Paragraph 3, we learn that the travelers ______.A. were in despair before they were rescuedB. stayed in the hut for three days altogetherC. got sick because of going for ski outsideD. got rescued immediately the weather turned fine4. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The writer is a travel agent who loves difficult challenges.B. In Iceland the weather is always extreme and it snows a lot.C. The travellers were so depressed that they needed psychotherapy.D. Awful journeys may become life-changing events that inspire people.BWell, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride. But with Twitter, you just look for other people heading the same way.It may sound risky, so many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and don’t branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter just like me, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.“I think the digital connection of young people is really key, because younger generations grew up sharing things on line, sharing files, photos, music, etc, so they’ve been very used to sharing,” said Juliet Schor, a sociology professor at Boston College.The sharing economy got big during the recession (经济衰退), allowing people to access more goods, services using technology and even to share costs. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom, like what my friend Ea rl says, “The symbol of freedom isn’t the car any more because there’s technology out there connecting you to a car.”According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license compared to six in ten today. So it’s not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license but an iPhone.“Driving, for young people, does mean they have to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit i n the passage side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus.” Schor continued.To me, another plus is that ridesharing represents something, something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter.5. The American teens like the author, prefer to possess an iPhone as a birthday gift because _______.A. it is most fashionable and coolB. they are bored with driving carsC. they are fond of being connectedD. it is much cheaper than a car6. We can learn from the text that _______.A. Twitter is a website for teens to make friends and achieve goalsB. ridesharing can be seen as a sign that people still count on each otherC. driving cars for teens means a plus and connecting with technologyD. having a car and cost-sharing symbolize more freedom for the author’s mother7. Professor Juliet would agree that _______.A. young people will sit waiting to be contacted by reading a passageB. sharing economy is bound to be responsible for the recessionC. young people tend to share a car with strangers by means of TwitterD. being connected via technology comes first for young people8. The best title for the passage is probably _______.A. Twitter, an Awesome WebsiteB. Cars or iPhoneC. Teens Use Twitter to Thumb RidesD. Cool Teens on the GoCImagine having an idea, drawing it on paper, bringing it to a store and seeing it turned into a physical object．This is now possible with the help of 3D printers．Such machines were once used just by universities and big companies．But now, stores with 3D printing services are appearing around the United States．Bryan Jaycox and his wife opened The Build Shop LLC in Los Angeles two years ago．The store is filled with tools like a laser cutter, an industrial sewing machine and 3D printers．Bryan Jaycox requires $ 15 an hour to print an object．He also charges a fee depending on the size of the object and up to $ 50 an hour for design and labor services．The Jaycoxs also offer 3D printing classes for anyone who is interested．One of the students in a recent class was Ki Chong Tran．He plans to open a 3D printing business in Cambodia．"The demand has been amazing．It's been much more than I would have imagined," said Ki Chong Tran．"I think 3D printing is going to be huge．It's going to make a huge impact on society as a whole," he added．Mr Jaycox predicts that within five years, 3D printing technology could become more consumer friendly．But Ki Chong Tran says even current technology can make a difference in a developing country like Cambodia．"With 3D printing you can give them tools, and you put it in their hands so they are responsible more for their own development．They learn skills beyond just learning English and becoming a tour guide or something like that or working at a bank．You can actually create things that give value to the world," said Ki Chong Tran．He says it's not just Cambodia but anywhere where there is a 3D printer, it can turn a good idea into reality．9．We learn from Paragraph l that 3D printing_________．A. is now available to ordinary peopleB．first appeared in the United StatesC．can turn your every dream into realityD．is now only used by universities10．Bryan Jaycox opened The Build Shop LLC to__________．A．sell 3D printers and different kinds of toolsB．produce all types of printing machinesC．offer 3D printing classes and servicesD．design different types of 3D printers11．In Mr Jaycox's opinion, within five years 3D printing will_________．A．make it easier to do businessB．be accessible to all consumersC．change the way of social contactD．bring about more profits to the sellers12．How will 3D printing technology benefit developing countries according to the text?A．It helps the people work efficiently at a bank．B．It will promote the learning of EnglishC．It will accelerate the development of tourism．D．It offers them a new way of development．DAs thousands of communities in the USA —especially in the South —became booming gateways for immigrant families from Central and South America during the 1990s and the early years of the new century, public schools struggled with the unfamiliar task of serving the large numbers of English learners arriving in their classrooms.Education programs needed to be built from scratch. “We had no teaching resources suitable for English learners here before. We had to develop them all ourselves,” a Texas principal said. Throughout the country, districts had to train their own teachers to teach English to non-native speakers or recruit (招聘)teachers from elsewhere. School staff members had to figure out how to communicate with parents who spoke no English.But even as immigration has slowed or stopped in many places, and instructional programs for English-learners have matured, serving immigrant families and their children remains a work in progress in many public schools, especially those in communities that are skeptical, or sometimes unwelcoming, to the newcomers. One of the biggest challenges educators face, is communicating effectively with parents who don’t speak English — an issue that, in part, has contributed to recent complaints of discrimination by Latino students in some cities.“The parents’ role is very important for the success of these students, but it's also one of the most difficult things we’ve had to tackle(处理),” said Jim D. Rollins, the president of the Springdale school district, where the 19,000-student school system has gone from having no English-learners 15 years ago to more than 7,500 now. “You have to make it a priority and work on it, work on it, and work on it.”Aside from the practical challenges, such as finding bilingual (会说两种语言的) staff members, guiding districts through such dramatic changes requires school leaders to bridge difficult political and cultural divides. For school leaders in the South, especially in the last few years, this difficult job has been made harder still by the negative attitudes of some locals towards immigrants.13. According to the passage, what is the problem that public schools are facing?A. Handling more cases from the immigrant Mexican communities.B. Offering services to immigrant families in the southern states.C. Offering enough communicative lessons to immigrant parents.D. Providing education for non-native English learners.14. The underlined part “built from scratch” (in Paragraph 2) probably means “________”.A. completely newB. painful to makeC. based on past experienceD. constructed gradually15. What do we know about the immigrant parents?A. Many of them cannot speak English.B. Most of them think education is not important.C. Some of them feel skeptical about the local community.D. Few of them have attended American schools.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分, 满分10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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AAs a student, you must be excited to know something about American school students. In fact, just like in China, in the United States, high school is usually divided into two periods. T he first two or three years are called “junior high school” and the other is “senior high school”.In China, children enjoy free education of nine years, but in the United States, the students enjoy free education until they are 18 years old. As a result of the free education system, American children have little difficulty in going to senior high school.American high school students can take part in a lot of activities outside of the classroom. The activities are organized by the school, such as joining a music group or a sports team. Certainly, just like us students in China, American students have to work hard in order to get good marks if they want to go to a good university. They take classes in all kinds of subjects all through the high school period. And those who come out with low marks at the end of a school year and who should repeat a grade are often allowed to go on to the next grade.In American high schools, there is fighting or hurting or other kinds of bad behaviors. So children who want to go to university are often sent to suburban high schools, where most students want to go to university and the atmosphere is quite different.21. This passage mainly tells us about ________.A. education of Chinese middle school.B. education of American high school.C. American free education.D. how to get into universities in America.22. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The time of free education in China is longer than that in America.B. Those who get good marks can go to a good university.C. American students can take all kinds of subjects during the high school period.D. They can be allowed to join the next grade even if they fail the school-year exam.23. The writer of the passage tells us the truth that ________.A. the atmosphere in high schools is quite different from that in a university.B. none of the schools in cities are good for learning.C. suburban high schools are good places for learning.D. all the American students want to go to university.BFOREIGN TEACHERS ARE NEEDED ALL OVER CHINAAd No．90374Posted Nov 12, 2014 1327 by AmandaExpire Date Dec 12, 2015Tag: Beijing Language Teaching Part TimeWe are looking for Teachers, whose native language is English, willing to teach in China．Mostly schools are in South of China．The benefit package for ESL Teachers includes:One-year contract: 1st September 2015 to 1st August 2016Salary：¥ 4000 to ¥ 5000 /monthTeaching load & schedule : 20 teaching hours per weekA rent-free, fully furnished apartment with living room, bedroom, kitchen and bathroomKitchen facilities provided．Other electric appliances will be supplied: water heater, microwave etc．If you are interested, please read the information above and kindly send your application to attach the following documents （in doc or JPEG format）．The subject to be mentioned, as “teach in China”：1．CV/Resume（简历）2．A copy of academic degree, diploma, certificate or college transcript3．A photocopy of the data page of valid passport4．A recent color photo5．A letter of recommendation or release letter from your previous Chinese school （Only if you worked in China previously）6．Any other relevant information that you think might help your application 24．This advertisement is about_______．A．introducing a school.

Moreover, it seems that people are spending more and more time watching some sort of visual entertainment, whether it is television, a video tape or a DVD. Therefore, the effects of visual media cannot be ignored(忽视).One obvious effect of the these media is that watching them induces(诱导) people to buy certain products. Television advertising is widespread and, nowadays, even movie theaters permit advertisements. Another way TV and the movies affect people is that they give people either a broader view of the world or a distorted（扭曲的）one, depending on what type of program they watch. Those who watch news and educational program can learn many new things while those who watch primarily entertainment shows may come to believe that most people in the world have great wealth and good looks. It may make them become dissatisfied with their own lives. Finally, perhaps the most susceptible（易受影响的）viewers are children, who may beunable to tell fact from fiction and may try to copy acts that they see on TV or in the movies.With the increasing popularity of video entertainment, society must pay attention to these effects. Television and movies, while entertaining and informative, cannot take the place of real experiences.28．From the passage, we know that watching television and movies can ________.A. make people live better.B. make people feel pleased.C. make people change their way of life.D. make people live worse.29. The writer holds the view that _______.A. people may take no notice of the effects of the visual media.B. people must pay attention to the effects of the visual media.C. the effects of the visual media make the world changed greatly.D. the visual media only affect young people.30. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Those who watch news and educational programs can earn a lot of money and become very pretty.B. The reason why most people possess great wealth and good looks is that they often watch television advertising.C. People buy products only when they are introduced by television advertising.D. People who watch primarily entertainment shows may come to believe that most people in the world are rich and beautiful.31.What would be the best title for the text?A. The Influence of Television and MoviesB. The Reason Why People Watch Television and MoviesC. Television and Movies Induce PeopleD. The Importance of Television and Movies.DI n 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the film-maker Walt Disney. He had unusual voice and he wanted to do work in Disney’s cartoon films for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said, “Stop! That’s our duck!”The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audiences liked him because he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very quickly. And they loved his voice, when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t goody-goody like Mickey.In the 1930s, 40s and 50s, Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto make hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared—there were no more new cartoons.Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today’s children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.32. Walt Disney ______.A. played the part of Donald Duck.B. made Donald Duck films.C. had Donald Duck’s voice.D. drew cartoons.33.

辽宁师大附中2018----2019学年度下学期模块考试高一英语试题考试时间：60分钟满分：100分第Ⅰ卷选择题（共65分）一、阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）第一节（共10小题，每小题2.5分，共25分）AWhen traveling to a different country, your safest bet is to limit gestures as much as possible. However , you may find that your gestures happen out of habit. Understanding appropriate gesture of the country you’re visiting may prevent you from communicating the wrong message.Gestures in BrazilMuch like the Italian culture, a Brazilian snaps his fingers (打响指) and uses exaggerated (夸张的) hand movements when emphasizing a statement. The sense of warmth and friendliness with each other is shown through the gesture of eye contact when communicating and standing close together in lineups or when talking to each other. Communicating a greeting is more than the gesture of a handshake, but also involves the touch of the forearm.Gestures in ChinaYou communicate a greeting in china with the gesture of a slight nod and bow. To communicate respect , you keep your head lowered. In china , the gesture of standing close during a conversation prevents having to communicate in a raised voice. A person will communicate her surprise during a conversation with the gesture of breathing in air loudly, rather than a loud outburst.Gestures in IndiaGestures used in India are representative of its traditional culture. In India, the gesture of holding out the hand to communicate giving or receiving must be done with the right hand as a person in India uses her left hand for washing. The gesture of communicating respect at a religious ceremony is done by removing your shoes. The proper way of communicating direction is to use either the whole hand or by using your chin(下巴). The proper form of communicating a greeting is to press the palms together with fingers upward and say, “Namaste”.1.The passage is mainly about_________.A.something traveling tips for visitorsB. the advantage of using body languageC. some gestures in different cultureD. the comparison between gestures2. In china people stand close while talking simply to _______.A. avoid a loud voiceB. show their surpriseC. communicate a greetingD. express their respect3. In India, a proper gesture of greeting is __________.A. touching the forearmB. keeping your head loweredC. shaking hands with the left handD. pressing the palms together upwardBLast night, I had the misfortune of eating at The BurgerShack. What I had hoped to be a romantic anniversary dinner for my wife Gladys and I turned out to be a very disappointing dining experience.I began to have my doubts the moment we walked inside. The dining room itself was clean, but the decoration was far too gaudy(花哨的) for my tastes. Multicolored images of clowns and large cartoon animals were stuck on almost every single wall. The tables were a bright lime green(橙绿). It certainly did not look like the romantic restaurant that I was hoping for, but I am not one to judge a book by its cover.Glaudy and I stood for what seemed like an hour waiting to be seated, but not a single employee even glanced our way. Finally , we decided to just locate a table on our own. Although the restaurant was fairly crowded, we were able to find a table in the back. We took our seats and waited for a member of the staff to bring us menus.An unbearable amount of time passed and there was still no sign of a waiter or waitress. Perhaps noticing our frustration, a customer sitting at the table next to us informed us that there were no waiters. Instead, we had to place our orders at the front of the restaurant and then bring our own food back to the table.No waiters? Who came up with the idea? What is the purpose of dining out if you have to get up and serve yourself? I was about to storm out, but my wife calmed me down.Eventually , Glaudy volunteered to get the food for us. Somehow, I did manage to eat six of the hamburgers, but the seventh proved far too greasy(油腻的) for my liking. The chocolate milk shake that they offered for dessert was acceptable, but the cup it came in was very small.Overall, the BrugerShack’s combination of dreadful decoration, nonexistence service, and disappointing food make it a place to avoid. I certainly hope we will find a better place to celebrate our 51st anniversary next year!4.What does the author think of the decoration of the BurgerShack?A. excellentB. ordinaryC. dullD. terrible5 When the author found The BurgerShack had no waiters, he________.A. was quite angryB. volunteered to get the foodC. decided to locate a tableD. was very curious6.What do we know about the BurgerShack?A. It was very famous for its styleB. It was a self-service restaurantC. It had a quiet environment insideD. It was crowded with dining tablesCMany traffic jams leave drivers puzzled as they finally reach the end of a tail-back to find no visible cause for their delay. Now, a team of mathematicians have found the answer by developing a model to show how major delays occur on our roads, with no apparent (显然的) cause.The model showed that a driver, slowing down below a critical speed (极限速率) when reacting to unexpected events, forces the car behind to slow down further and the next car back to reduce its speed still further. The result of this is that several miles back, cars would finally come to a stop, with drivers unaware of the reason for their delay. The model predicts that this is a very typical situation on a busy highway (above 15 vehicles per km). The jam moves backwards through the traffic creating a so-called “backward travelling wave”, which drivers may encounter many miles upstream, several minutes after it was caused.Drivers and policy-makers have not previously known why jams like this occur, though many have put it down to the sheer volume of traffic. While this clearly plays a part in this new theory, the main issue is around the smoothness of traffic flow. According to the model, heavy traffic will not automatically lead to jams but can be smooth-flowing. This model takes into account the time delay in drivers’ reactions, which lead to drivers braking more heavily than if they had identified (识别) and reacted to a problem ahead a second earlier.When a driver taps the brake, the traffic may come to a full standstill several miles behind. It really matters how hard a driver brake — a slight braking from a driver who has identified a problem early will allow the traffic flow to remain smooth. Heavier braking, usually caused by a driver reacting late to a problem, can affect traffic flow for many miles.7. From the passage, we learn that __________.A. drivers are often unaware of the reason why a traffic jam happensB. many drivers don’t know how to deal with unexpected eventsC. heavy traffic often forces drivers to slow downD. traffic jams often happen on a busy highway8. Which of the following is NOT included in the new theory?A. Width of roads.B. Traffic speed.C. Traffic smoothness.D. Delay time.9. Traffic jams can be avoided when ________.A. mathematicians develop a modelB. there is a visible cause of the delayC. there is a backward travelling waveD. drivers react to problems early10. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A new model developed by mathematicians.B. Traffic jams caused by slowly-reacting drivers.C. The mystery of traffic jams solved by mathematicians.D. Impacts of slight and heavy braking.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

AI was born in Korea, and my family came over to America when I was 10. I’m the middle child of three girls, and my parents moved so we would experience a different life. They did it for our education and to give us more of a chance than they had. We moved to Staten Island, and I went to the High School of Performing Arts in New York City. My parents were depressed when I told them I wanted to be an actress. My father suggested I try premed(医学预科). But after they saw me in plays they were really proud.I graduated from Boston University and was doing theater in New York when I got cast in a Korean miniseries(电视连续剧). We started shooting the show in New York, and then went to Korea to finish it up. They said I would be there for three weeks, but it ended up being two months. The miniseries took off, and overnight, I became recognizable. It was sort of like Lost. It blew up. Then amazing projects were offered to me. I kept thinking, “ I’ll do one more and then go back to the US.〞 I ended up staying for seven years.Some people described me as the Julia Roberts of Korea, which is a bad comparison because she’s the queen of romantic comedy. I became famous in Kor ea for a dramatic role in a film called Shiri. I played a “La Femme Nikita〞 type of role. I was the girl with the gun—all action．21. The writer’s parents moved to America so as to _________.A. offer a good chance to their children.B. receive a good education in performingC. seek a successful life in AmericaD. film a Korean miniseries22. When the writer announced her decision to become an actress, her parents_____.A. were both in favor of herB. felt very ashamed of herC. didn’t agree at firstD. took it for granted23. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The author’s performing life in America.B. The difficulties of filming abroad.C. The popularity of the miniseries Lost.D. The author’s first performing breakthrough.24. The writer referred to the Julia Roberts of Korea as a bad comparison to show______.A. she looked down upon Julia Roberts.B. she disliked to be compared with othersC. she had a different style of performingD. she was better at dramatic roles than JuliaBMona Lisa, the mysterious woman in Leonardo da Vinci's 16th century masterpiece, had just given birth to her second son when she sat for the painting, a French art expert said on Tuesday. The discovery was made by a team of Canadian scientists who used special infrared(红外线) and three-dimensional〔三维的〕technology to study the paint layers on the work, which now sits in the Louvre museum in Paris.Bruno Mottin of the French Museums' Center for Research and Restoration said that on very close examination of the painting it became clear that the Mona Lisa's dress was covered in a thin transparent gauze veil.〔透明面纱〕"This type of gauze dress was typical of the kind worn in early 16th century Italy by women who were pregnant or who had just given birth. This is something that had never been seen up to now because the painting was always judged to be dark and difficult to examine," he told a news conference."We can now say that this painting by Leonardo da Vinci was painted in memory of the birth of the second son of Mona Lisa, which helps us to date it more precisely to around 1503."The young woman with the ambiguous half smile has been identified as Lisa Gherardini, wife of Florentine merchant Francesco de Giocondo. She had five children."People always wrote that Mona Lisa had allowed her hair to hang freely over her shoulders. This greatly surprised historians because letting your hair hang freely during the Renaissance was typical of young girls and women of poor virtue (美德)," he said.The team had hoped to discover more details about Leonardo’s painting techniques, which the artist used to create a hazy (朦胧的) effect. But scientist John Taylor said the team had been disappointed by the lack of brush stroke〔笔触〕detail on the painting.25. According to the latest research, Mona Lisa was __________.A．a woman of poor virtue B．da Vinci’s second wifeC．a woman who was pregnant D．the wife of Florentine merchant26. The information reported in the text was first got from _______________.A．a newspaper B．the InternetC．a news conference D．the museum27.

What is probably the best title for the test?A．Mona Lisa ,the Mysterious WomanB．Mona Lisa was a New MotherC．Great Discovery in PaintingD．Leonardo’s Painting TechniqueCNelson Mandela is respected and admired across the world. And to South Africans heis a superstar. He is a hero who shocked the world by fighting for peace between races, despite the 27 years he spent in the prison of the South Africa’s white, racist regime(政权)Mandela, who won the nation’s first all-race elections after the fall of apartheid(种族隔离) in 1944,retired in 1999. But he remains as popular as ever.“He’s loved by all people, whether you’re white or black, whether you’re young or old,〞 said Ali Bacher, South Africa’s former cricket(板球) chief.His popularity has inspired an entire national industry. His portrait has appeared at many places, including on some goods. His face has appeared on a South African coin, a metropolitan(大都会的)area was named in his honor and some business leaders hope to build a massive, rotating statue in his likeness---- the Statue of Freedom. It would stand taller than New York’s Statue of Liberty.His popular appeal is similar to that of John F. Kennedy with US or Winston Churchill in Britain, but few politicians in his times have achieved his level of admiration, said Tom Lodge, head of the political science department of the University of the Witwatersrand.〞Sometimes it isn’t completely appreciated what a skilled performer Mandela has been throughout his political career. He is a very,very clever man,〞However, he is far from perfect.Most articles for his birthday, which appeared in every major South African newspaper on the day, briefly mentioned that Mandela did have his shortcomings. Then they returned to their flowing praises. “Through the ages, the human race has had its icons〔偶像〕---- men and women who rose above ordinary people to inspire their generation,〞The Mail and Guardian Weekly said. “In our generation, the gods presented us Nelson Mandela.〞29. Nelson Mandela is loved by all the people of South Africa because_____________.

What can we infer from the text?A．Mandela is a very skilled politicianB．Most articles specially stressed Mandela’s shortcomings.C．The Statue of Freedom is a present for Mandela’s birthday.D．The article may have appeared in a newspaper on Mandela’s birthday.DFrom the beginning rivers have played an important part in life of man. Man of the earliest times used the rivers as a means of travel. Today rivers still serve as a great waterway for the transport and people.In ancient times,man settled near rivers or on river banks and built up large empires. Water is natu re’s most valuable gift to man. Man needs water to irrigate his crops,to cook and to wash. In nations all over the world, rivers mean life and wealth.

Man builds huge dams across the rivers to control the water for irrigation and get the energy needed to drive generators. The electrical power is then directed to homes, cities, factories and television stations.Man uses water each day.

Alo ng with more tha n 300 other senio rs, I marched into the stadium on the after noon of May 10. The audie nee burst into deafe ning cheers. The huge stadium shook with all the whistl ing and elapp ing.It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stage. And in deed, every sin gle senior that day was a star of the mome nt. Each deserved it. The seniors had bee n prepari ng for four years for this on ce-i n-a-lifetime mome nt—the comme neeme nt （graduati on cerem ony）.Seated, I waited an xiously for the ope ning address. As a foreig n excha nge stude nt, I was not able to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. Like the other graduates, I was dressed in marron cap and gow n.Our prin cipal, Mr. Glover, delivered a short, warm greeti ng.

The tears in some eyes convin ced me that many had deep feeli ngs about the occasi on .It was as the class motto says,“ Life brings us tears, smiles and memories. The tears dry; the smifade; but the memories last forever. ”The n came the core （the most importa nt part） of the comme neeme nt. Hun dreds of n ameswere announ ced. Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the prin cipal. From the differe nt cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competiti on of who could cheer the loudest.To be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. A girl sitting next to me even started yawning. But it wasn ' t boring for those receiviniplttrea： they would treasure themome nt the prin cipal placed the sacred brow n docume nt in their hands for the rest of their lives.A new page in the book of that person ' s life had turned.

The trouble is that we get blinded by our Operating System. This is because our Operating System attempts to fit what happening around us into our Operating System ' s expectations. Anything different is resisted as much as it can be.So your Operation System is always going to be riddled with flaws（缺点）and errors. It ' s in it ' s nature. This is where all progress and evolution corfrom . Every flaw and bug you discover and fix in the Operating System is another leap forward in the quality of your life.The evolution of society comes from the fact that each generation rebels against the previous one. And so each generation discovers a flaw and caused an upgrade in our cultural Operat ing System.The established order in every field and every area of life will find itself challenged. And over time more and more flaws will be discovered about what we previously believed to be facts. This is how life progresses and adva nces.Now every day across the world there are hun dreds of in sta nces where people are making new discoveries and overturning old beliefs. This is the process of life.If you want somethi ng that you don ---i t h a veyour Opti ng system that is block ingit off to you. This means you have to identify the flaw in your Operating System that is block ing you from hav ing what you want. Then you tran sform the structure of your Operati ng System to let it in.Opportunities are around you all the time. There is never a boat that you must catch. There is another boarding all the time. It is only the fact that you aren ' steeing the opport un ities that stops you from gett ing what you want.Upgrading your Operating System is training it to show you the opportunities all aroundyou. And then life is like picking fruit from a tree.25. According to the passage, our Operating System _____ .A. resists valuable things as more as possibleB. neglects everything that happens around usC. always attempts to meet its expectationsD. is not essential to our happiness sometimes26. The underlined part “be riddled with ” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by _____________ .A. be opposed toB. be free fromC. be friends withD. be full of27. If you want to improve the quality of your life, you should ______ .A. avoid mistakes in your everyday lifeB. discover flaws in your Operating SystemC. take all the information around youD. take a suspecting attitude towards life28. According to the author, our society progresses because ____ .A. the young approve of what their ancestors didB. younger generations put the wrong things rightC. computers have undated the old Operating SystemD. old computers are constantly replaced by new onesCYou never see them, but the'yre with you every time you fly. They record where you are going, how fast you're traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to withstand almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book. They're known as the black box.When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India ocean on June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French Submarine潜水艇）detected the device ' s homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U.S. commercial flights by 1960. Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesignedand moved to the rear of the plane ---the area least subject to impact --- from its original position in the landing wells（起落架舱）. The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots ' conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft 's final mome an in sulated隔绝的）case and surroun ded by a quarter- in ch-thick pan els of sta ini ess steel, the boxes can withstand massive force and temperature up to 20,000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1, 2009, are in water nearly that deep, butstatistics say they ' rsetill likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deep-seacrashes over the past 30 years, only one planes black boxes were never recovered.29. In paragraph 1, the author wants say the black box ___ .A. is an necessary device on an airplaneB. comes from a comic bookC. can prevent disasterD. can control the function of an airplane30. Why was the black box redesigned in 1965?A. New materials became available by that timeB. The early models often got damaged in the crashC. Too much space was needed for its deviceD. The early models didn ' t provide the needed data.31. The black boxes were painted orange or yellow to ____ .A. distinguish them from the color of the planeB. warn people to handle them with careC. make them easily identifiedD. obey the international standards32. What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447?A. There is still a good chance of their being recoveredB. There is an urgent need for them to be reconstructedC. They have stopped sending homing signalsD. They were destroyed somewhere near BrazilDHilary Smith belonged to a good family. But by the age of twenty, he had spent all the money the good old family had. He then had some trouble with the bank and was put in prison. He escaped from the prison and ran to Australia without delay.Hilary did not like Australia and Australia did not like Hilary. What he could do seemed to be one of two things: die or work. Then he remembered that he was not alone in the world. He had an aunt.She was his father 's only sister, buat thhiserf used to say she brought no glory to the family. Hilary, of course, tired to discover what she had done. It seemed that she had failed to marry a nobleman. Instead, she had chosen a husband who was connected with “ trade ”. Of course as soon as she became “Mrs. Parks ”, her brotchoenr sidered her dead. Later on, Mr. Parks died and left her a lot of money; but that did not bring her back to life in her brother opinion.Hilary discovered his aunt 'asddress.Fortunately she remained faithful and honest to him even after she fell ill. So Hilary ' s star shone again, and soon he moved into her ho lived as comfortably as a sailor who had just reached harbor. He had only about a sixpence in his pocket.One thing was soon clear: his aunt was seriously ill, and nothing could cure her illness. Hilary was very worried. Fate had found a home for him, and was now going to throw out of it. There was only one thing that could save him: her will.“Will? ” she said, “yes, I have made one. That was when I vaanddnaidlnot much mon ey. Ileft all my money to some religious people. ”“ Didn ' t you make another will when you were married? ” Hilary asked.His aunt shook her head. “ No, ” she said in a low voice. “There was no need.fin ally had a lot of money I found I had no relati ons. ”On the next day he went to the public library and examined a book of law. It told him what he already believed. When a woman is married, an earlier will loses its value. A new will must be made. If no new will is made, the money goes to the nearest relation. Hilary knew that he was his aunt ' s only relation. His future was safe.After a few mon ths had passed,Hilary 'pBoblems became serious. He badly n eeded mon ey. He had expe nsive tastes, and owed a lot of money to shopkeepers. They trusted him because his aunt was rich; but the debt was terrible.Unfortunately his aunt did not want to discuss money matters at all. In the end they had a quarrel about the small amount of ten poun ds. Hilary was not very an gry. He bega n to won der about a new problem. Was it ki nd to want his aunt to live any Ion ger? Was it not better for her to die now? While he was con sideri ng what to do, his aunt told him that she was going to send for her lawyer. So she was going to make a new will, Hilary thought. She might leave all her money to some one else. Soon he reached a clear con clusi on. He must do a great kindn ess to the poor old woma n.One ni ght whe n the old serva nt who had bee n nursing his aunt went off, he doubled the amount of some medici ne. The total amount was too great and it could just put her to sleep forever.“Thank you, ” his aunt took the glass from his hand with a grateful look. than anything, to sleep, and never to wake up again. Is that what you wish, Hilary? Don' t blame me if I have some doubts about what you inten ded to do. Sick people get these ideas, you know. One thing I ought to expla in to you. Mr. Parks n ever married me. He already had a wife and couldn ' t marry again. That made your foolish father very angry with me. Well, if I am alive tomorrow I shall make another will in your favor. If I die tonight, you will get nothing. No, Hilary, don ' t try to take the glass away. If you do that, I shall know; and I don want to know. Good ni ght, Hilary.The n, very carefully, she raised the glass to her mouth and drank.33. From the story, we learn that Hilary ' s aunt was ______ .A. bad-tempered and Ion elyB. kin d-hearted and wiseC. careless about moneyD. Cruel to her ni ece34. The underlined sentence “ Hemust do a great kindness to the poor old woman” Inparagraph 11 suggests that Hilary Smith ______ .A. was determined to put his aunt ' s life to an endB. decide to do his aunt a favor to call in a lawyerC. made up his mind to take good care of his auntD. would help his aunt to don ate all her money to religious people35.

AOne day a mime(哑剧演员)is visiting the zoo and attempts to earn some money as a street performer. As soon as he starts to draw a crowd, a zookeeper drags him into his office. The zookeeper explains that the zoo's most popular attraction, a gorilla(大猩猩), has died suddenly and the keeper fears that attendance at the zoo will fall off. He offers the mime a job to dress up as the gorilla. The mime accepts.The next morning the mime puts on the gorilla suit and enters the cage before the crowd comes. He soon discovers he can sleep all he wants, play and make fun of people and he draws bigger crowds than he ever did as a mime—the job he likes but loses.However, with days going by, he begins to notice that the people are paying more attention to the lion in the cage next to his. Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he climbs to the top of his cage, crawls across a partition(隔墙),and dangles(悬挂)from the top to the lion’s cage. The lion gets angry at this. The scene is a fuel to the crowd.At the end of the day he is given a raise for being such a good attraction—Well, this continues for som e time.
