AI like this job, in which I stay with small children and from which I get the challenges and awards. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.I then found myself a job. Looking after two little girls, it wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agree d that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me, I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part – time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.Now I’ve got a full –time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school. 21.When staying with the two girls’ family, the author______ .A.got much help from her boss B.was paid for extra workC.often worked long hours D.took a day off every other week22.Why did the author leave her first job?A.She needed a rest after working extra hours.B.She decided to attend a part – time course.C.She was fed up with children.D.She found a full – time job.23.What has the author learned from her own experiences?A.One must choose the job she likes.B.Hard work makes an excellent student.C.Less successful students can still have a career.D.Qualifications are necessary for a career.BMy Left Foot (1989)Imagine being a prisoner of your own body, unable to make any movements except to move your left foot. The main character in My Left Foot,based on the real story of cerebral palsy (大脑性麻痹) sufferer Christy Brown,can barely move his mouth to speak, but by controlling his left foot, he’s able to express himself as an artist and poet. For his moving performance of Brow n, Daniel Lewis won his first Academy Award for best actor.Shine (1996)Do you have a talent you’re afraid to share with the world? David Helfgott seemed meant from childhood to be “one of the truly great pianists,” but the pressures of performi ng (and pleasing his father) resulted in a complete breakdown. Ten years in a mental institution didn’t weaken Helfgott’s musical gift: When he was rediscovered, he was playing concertos in a bar. Shine received seven Oscar nominations (提名), and Geoffrey Rush won best actor for his performance of Helfgott.Life Is Beautiful (1997)Nothing’s more powerful than the love between a parent and a child. In this heartbreaking Italian film, a father (Roberto Benigni) makes an unbelievable sacrifice for his 4-year-old son: trapped in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945, the Jewish man convinces his boy that they are playing a complicated game. He manages to spare him the horror of the terrible war, and even in his final moments of life, keeps his son smiling and hopeful. Benigni won the bestactor Oscar.Stand and Deliver (1988)Few people can inspire us more than a good teacher. Jaime Escalante (Edward James Olmos got Oscar nomination for best actor) is a great one. Employed at a high school where kids are expected to fail, Escalante challenges his math students to struggle for better things, like getting good grades in the AP exam. Despite the obstacles in their lives, the classmates accomplish their goals, thanks to Mr. Escalant e’s support. The real Jaime Escalante, the Best Teacher in America, says that Stand and Deliver is “90% truth, 10% drama.”24. The underlined part in the passage means _________.A. The main character in My Left Foot can’t control his whole bodyB. The main character in My Left Foot is trapped by othersC. The main character in My Left Foot is a prisonerD. The main character in My Left Foot is a disabled person25. If you want to watch a movie about wars, which may be one of your choices?A. Life Is Beautiful.B. Stand and Deliver.C. Shine.D. My Left Foot.26.Which of the following is true according to the four movies’ information?A. My Left Foot was directed by Christy Brown’sB. Geoffrey Rush stayed in a mental institution for ten yearsC. Edward James Olmos received nomination for best actor OscarD. Jaime Escalante has a talent for playing the piano27. What do the four movies have in common?A. They are all based on real stories.B. The main characters are all sick to some degree but succeed.C. The main characters all won Academy Award for Best Actor.D. They are all inspiring stories that make a difference.CIt’s roughly estimated that there are 450 million disabled people in the world. No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not justsomething that happens to other people: as we get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people's attitude towards them.Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability not their disability that count.28.The first paragraph points out that______.A. the number of disabled people in India is the greatestB. India has much more disabled people than CanadaC.there are many disabled people in the worldD. it is impossible to get an exact figure of the world's disabled people29.The last word of the passage "count" most probably means_____.A. be numberedB. be includedC. be consideredD. be most important30.Which of the following statements is not true?A. About 10 percent of people in the UK are disabled.B. Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.C. There still exists prejudice against the disabled which results mainly from ignoranceD. The whole society should pay due attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people31.It can be concluded from the passage that____.A. both physical and metal barriers are hard to break downB. we should take a proper attitude towards the disabledC. we should try our best to prevent disablementD. the able-bodies people will never fully understand the disabledDIf the earth's population is in growth at this rate , there will not be enough resources. By the middle of the 21st century, if present trends continue, we will have used up all the oil that drives our cars, for example. Even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race, the crowded conditions on the earth will make it necessary for us to look for open space somewhere else. But none of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present. One possible solution to the problem, however, has recently been suggested by American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan.Sagan believes that before the earth's resources are completely exhausted it will be possible to change the atmosphere of Venus and so create a new world almost as large as the earth itself. The difficult is that Venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a tiny amount of water there.Sagan proposes that algae organisms(海藻有机体) that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen, should be bred in condition similar to those on Venus. As soon as this has been done, the algae will be placed in small rockets. Spaceship will then fly to Venus and fire the rockets into the atmosphere .In a fairly short time, the algae will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon.When the algae have done their work, the atmosphere will become cooler, but before man can set foot on Venus it will be necessary for the oxygen to produce rain. The surface of the planet will still be too hot for man to land on it but the rain will eventually fall and in a few years something like earth will be reproduced on Venus.32.In the long run, the most difficult problem caused by population growth on the earth willprobably be the lack of ______.A. oilB. foodC. resourcesD. space33.Carl Sagan believes that Venus might be a living place because _____A. the days on Venus are long enoughB. it might be possible to change its atmosphereC. there is a good supply of water on VenusD. its atmosphere is the same as the earth's34.Algae are plants that can____.A. live in very hot temperatureB. live in very cold temperatureC. produce oxygenD. all of the above35. Man can land on Venus only when_______.A. it rains thereB. there is oxygenC. the atmosphere becomes coolerD. the algae have done their work第二部分:七选五(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, 并在答题卡上写出答案。

Here are the stories of some everyday household inventions.Canned Food and the Can Opener-Get It Right!Peter Durand invented canned food in 1810, but there was a problem. Durand didn't have a good way to open the cans. In 1858, Ezra Warner invented a can opener. It used a piece of metal tocut and remove the top from the can, but it was difficult to use. Finally, in 1870, William Lyman added a wheel to the can opener. The metal went around the top of the can and removed it easily. Finally, people were able to open cans without a lot of work. Canned food was soon popular. Frozen Food-A Little Good Luck Can Help!Clarence Birdseye had the chance to go on a trip to the Arctic. When people there caught fish, they put the fish in a container of ice to freeze it quickly. When people cooked the fish later, it was still good! This gave Birdseye an idea. He thought people could also have this kind of food at home. In 1926, Birdseye invented frozen food. People were able to store food in freezers for a long time.Air Conditioning-One Answer to Two Problems!Printing companies make books, so they use a lot of paper. Sometimes, changes in the weather can hurt the paper. In 1902, Willis Carrier invented air conditioning to control the temperature inside his printing company. This saved the paper. People soon realized other benefits of air conditioning. They started to air condition their homes in the summer. Carrier's invention changed the world!5. After the trip to the Arctic, Clarence Birdseye invented .A. canned foodB. can openersC. frozen foodD. air conditioning6. Changes in weather in Willis Carrier's company.A. helped to keep foodB. hurt printing paperC. caused health problemsD. made rooms comfortable7. According to the passage, which of the following may lead to inventions?A. People's needs.B. Public support.C. Modern technology.D. Practical suggestions.CThe Swiss army knife is a popular device that is recognized all over the world. In Switzerland, there is a saying that every good Swiss citizen has one in his or her pocket. But the knife had poor beginnings.In the late nineteenth century, the Swiss army gave its soldiers a gun that required a specialscrewdriver (螺丝刀) to take it apart and clean it. At the same time, canned food was becoming common in the army. Swiss generals decided to equip each soldier with a standard knife to serve both as a screwdriver and a can opener.It was a lifesaver for Swiss knife makers, who were struggling to compete with cheaper German imports. In 1884, Carl Elsener, head of the Swiss knife maker, seized that opportunity with both hands, and designed a soldier's knife that the army loved. It was a simple knife with one big blade (刀片), a can opener, and a screwdriver.A few years after the soldier's knife was issued, the "Schweizer Offizier Messer," or Swiss Officer's Knife. came on the market. 'Interestingly, the Officer's Knife was never given to those serving in the army. The Swiss army purchasers considered the new model with a corkscrew (瓶塞钻) for opening wine not "essential for survival," so officers had to buy this new model by themselves. But its special multi-functional design later launched (发行) the knife as a global brand. After the Second World War, a great number of American soldiers were stationed in Europe. And as they could buy the Swiss army knife at shops on army bases, they bought huge quantities of them. However it seems that "Schweizer Offizier Messer" was too difficult for them to say, so they just called it the Swiss army knife, and that is the name which is now known by all over the world.8. What does "It" in the third paragraph refer to?A. Every good Swiss citizen had a knife in his pocket.B. Swiss knives were competing with imported knives.C. Canned food was becoming popular in the Swiss army.D. The Swiss army needed a knife for every soldier.9. Why didn't the Swiss army purchase the Swiss Officer's Knife?A. The army had no budget to make the purchase.B. The new design was not considered necessary for officers to own.C. The design of the knife was too simple.D. The knife was sold out to American soldiers.10, Who gave the name “the Swiss army knife" to the knife discussed in the passage?A. Carl Elsener.B. Swiss generals.C. American soldiers.D. German businessmen.11. The author writes this passage______.A. to explain the origin of the Swiss army knifeB. to introduce the functions of the Swiss army knifeC. to emphasize the importance of the Swiss army knife.D. to tell a story about the designer of the Swiss army knifeDBetween the innocence of babyhood and seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called a "boy". Boys come in different sizes, weights, and colors, but all boys have the same belief: to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males-pack them off to bed at night.Boys are found everywhere-on top of, under, inside of, climbing on, swinging from running around, or jumping to this and that! Mothers spoil them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers love them, and God protects them. A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face, BEAUTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocolate in its hair, and HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket.When you are busy, a boy is a trouble-maker and a noise. When you want him to make a good impression, his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it.A boy is a creature with mixture-he has the stomach of a horse, the digestion of stones and sand, the energy of an atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the imagination of a superwoman, the shyness of a sweet girl, the brave nature of a bull, the violence of a firecracker, but when you ask him to make something, he has five thumbs on each hand.He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, humorous books, woods, water (in its natural habitat), large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday morning, and fire engines. He is not much for girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime.Nobody else is so early to rise, or so late to supper. Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees, dogs, and breezes. Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty knife, a half eaten apple a three-foot rope, six cents and some unknown things. .A boy is a magical creature - he is your headache but when you come home at night withonly shattered pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words, "Hi Dad !"12. According to the writer, boys appreciate everything in the following except_____.A. ice creamB. humorous booksC. Saturday morningsD. Sunday schools13. What does the underlined sentence in Para.4 probably mean?A. He has altogether five fingers.B. He is slow, foolish and clumsy.C. He has become clever and smart.D. He cuts his hand with a knife.14. What does the writer feel about boyhood?A. Curious.B. Tiring.C. Delightful.D. Unsafe.15. The writer is probably ______.A. An envious sisterB.A sharply observant fatherC. An appreciative brotherD.A spoiled naughty kid第二部分:七选五(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, 并在答题卡上写出答案。
大庆实验中学2014-2015学年度高三开学初考试英语试题本试卷分第1卷〔选择题〕和第2卷〔非选择题〕。
总分为130分,共5页。
第1卷〔选择题〕第一局部阅读理解 (共两节,总分为40分)第一节阅读理解〔共15小题;每一小题2分,总分为30分〕阅读如下短文,从每题所给的四个选项〔A、B、C和D〕中,选出最优选项。
AParents today, especially those in cities, seem devoted to what they think is good for their children. They try to get them the best education and anything else they need to make them a success. They want their children not only to imitate them, but also to exceed(超过)them.Where does all this leave the child?The result is that children hardly get to enjoy their childhood and what comes with it. Heavy homework, the pain of trying to excel in class and a busy schedule leave today’s children no time to do what comes naturally to them. They spend most of the time confined(限制) to the four walls of their homes, where the only two possible things they can indulge in (沉溺于) are television and computer.But isn’t a child naturally supposed to be naughty? Do we really believe that all the great men and women the world has seen were hard-working and boring in their teens?In trying to make a model child, parents seem to have brought great pressure upon themselves, too. It’s sad that “submissiveness(顺从,听话)〞is too often considered a positive personality in a child. And many parents still believe in the proverb: spare the rod(棍子) and spoil the child.But only those children who grow up getting the respect of others will become citizens who respect others.It’s time for us to think what we should do to bring fun and dignity back to our children’s lives.A W hitney Houston song perhaps best shows what we ought to be doing: “I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside. Give them a sense of pride to make it easier.

The number of elderly people is expected to reach 248 million by 2020, and 437 million by 2051, said Li. The ageing population at the end of the first half of the century will account for a fifth of the world’s total, according to estimates by the United Nations.The white paper said the number of people participating in the basic old-age insurance scheme across the country in 2005 reached 175 million, 43.67 million of whom were retirees (the pay is also a growing threat). But millions more, especially in rural areas, have no welfare guarantees.The soaring number of senior citizens has also brought challenges to the health and medical system. Li said medical resources consumed by the aged were three to five times higher than other age groups.To channel funds (为......引资) for medical care, China has been piloting (试验) a co-operative medicare programme in rural areas since 2003. And by last June, the programme covered 495 million rural people, including 73 per cent of the elderly.5.What is the main idea of this passage?A.The rapid growth of ageing people in China brings social problems.B.The retired people should try to earn their own living.C.The whole society shouldn’t spend so much on senior citizens.D.The aged people make up the majority of the population in China.6.How many people aged over 60 were there at the end of 2013 inChina according to the passage?A. 144 million.B. About 148 million.C. 180 million.D. About 16 million.7.The rapid growth of ageing people will cause problems in the following aspects EXCEPT ______.A.welfare costB. retirement payC. health and medical costD. basic salary8.People ______ will suffer most from ageing population problems.A.in the urban areasB. in the rural areasC. who are childlessD. who are in poor healthCDNA tells the story of the race to discover the structure of DNA, and the scientists who changed our understanding of the world and everything in it. The five part-series, to be broadcast from Thursday July 14 at 8:30 pm on ABC TV, also looks at the implications of the scientists’ work for the future of mankind.The scientists were a small group of pioneers who explore a world too small to see. What they found there answered some eternal questions -- What is life ? How is it made? Why are children like their parents?DNA is without doubt the most powerful substance on Earth. The order of its chemicals determines whether a child has her mother’s eyes or her father’s smile. But as DNA reveals, until 50 years ago, almost no one knew of its existence. All that changed when two unknown scientists -- Jim Watson and Francis Crick -- ran into a pub (酒馆) in Cambridge shouting that they’d found the secret of life.This declaration heralded (预示) a momentous discovery, not just for the human race but for the people involved. As this program reveals, it was one of the most heated scientific races the world has ever seen.Dr Watson takes us back 50 years, guiding us through the events that led to the creation of a double helix (螺旋) model being built by Dr Francis Crick and himself. He tells how he and Crick beat all the odds to find the double helix first and win the Nobel Prize.The program reveals others involved with the DNA story, including Maurice Wilkins, who helped create the atom bomb. He became disillusioned (大失所望的) with the science of death and chose the science of life instead, by looking for the structure of DNA.9.The purpose of this passage is to ______.A.give a TV program summaryB. report on a study on DNAC. tell the importance of DNAD. introduce some scientists10.According to the passage, what is true of the underlined word “DNA〞 in the first paragraph?A.It is the most powerful substance on Earth.B. It was found by Jim Watson and Francis Crick.C. It remained unknown 50 years ago.D. It reveals many secrets few people ever knew.11.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.DNA explained certain eternal questions involving life.B. Jim Watson and Francis Crick discovered DNA.C. Few scientists showed interest in DNA study.D. Maurice Wilkins also did some study on DNA.12.We can learn from the passage that Maurice Wilkins ______.A.found the secret of lifeB. discovered DNA firstC. won the Nobel PrizeD. changed his research fieldDBlogs were mostly just online diaries written by gossipy (爱闲聊的) teenagers, ten years ago. Today, blogs have become a social force with the power to influence the media, and even the government.It is estimated that the number of blogs on the Internet is between 10 to 32 million. Many of these are personal blogs that people use to keep in touch with their friends. But some are comments on celebrities (名人), politics and current events.Take Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper for example. Some political experts say he owes his election victory to bloggers.During the months before the election, former Prime Minister Paul Martin was being investigated for a crime. The newspapers did not write anything about the investigation, nor was it shown on TV. But bloggers made sure the story was on the web.If they had not done this, it’s quite possible that Mr Martin would still be Canada’s Prime Minister.Studies show that 30% of Americans have read a blog at least once; 40% percent of Canadians have read them. Even if people don’t read blogs regularly, they might still be indirectly affected by them. Besides, many journalists are using blogs to get story ideas. If blogs are influencing mass media, then they are influencing our lives.Now people are wondering whether blogging will replace other forms of mass media. But media professionals don’t think so. Most bloggers don’t do firsthand reporting. Unlike reporters, they do not travel to the places or meet the people they write about. They rely on mass media for information for their blogs. In fact, many blogs include link to well- known publications.But blogs might help improve the quality of other media. Reporters are more careful about getting accurate information when they know bloggers will point out their mistakes. If information is power, then blogs give that power to us all.13.Blogs have been playing an important role in modern society because ______.A.They have been in existence for ten yearsB. They have strongly influenced the mediaC. They are being used by teenagersD. People use them to keep in touch with each other14.By mentioning the election of Mr. Stephen Harper, the author intends to say ______.A. how influential blogs are to politicsB. how fortunate Mr. Stephen Harper wasC. Mr. Martin was innocentD.blogs are a decisive factor in the election15.The distinction between blogs and mass media is that ______.A. Most bloggers get instant information from the sportB. Information in the blogs is always trueC. Unlike mass media most blogs get information indirectlyD. Most bloggers are attached to famous publications第二节七选五〔共5小题;每一小题2分,总分为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优选项。

AThe Gloria Barron Prize honors American young people from 8 to l8 who have shown leadership and courage in public service. Each year ten winners each receive$2,000 to support their higher education or their service work.Ellie Wen, 18, was volunteering at a community center in Los Angeles. The center was set up to help immigrant families. She happened to meet adults in an EFL (English as a foreign language) class. “When I saw them struggling hard, I wondered how people in poor countries could learn English, ”Ellie said.So she started a Website, “Repeat After Us”, where people can listen to English and practice their accents. Volunteers have helped Ellie record more than 6,600 texts, including Abraham Lincoln’s “Gettysburg Address”.Hard work pays off. There were so many times that Ellie was discouraged, but she stuck to it. The Website crashed early on, and all the recordings were lost. But volunteers worked together vigorously to start over, and the visitors returned to the site.“Just follow your idea and know that the world is so kind. Even if you do have trouble, people will help you, ”Ellie said.“I was really excited the first month, when we had 49 visitors, ”she said. Now, more than 480,000 people from all over the world have visited the site. “I get e-mails from China, Egypt, India, and Brazil. ”They say, “Thank you so much for this resource, we’ve been waiting for it for so long! ”Ellie loves knowing she is helping so many people.Gloria Barron Prize winners like Ellie are enthusiastic about the work they do. And they encourage others to join in if they see a need. Anybody can be negative, but it needs somebodybrave to be positive. Are you the brave one?1.Choose the right order of the following.a.Ellie started a Website,Repeat After Us.b.Ellie happened to meet adults in an EFL class.c.All the recordings were lost.d.Ellie became a Gloria Barron Prize winner.e.More than 480,000 people from all over the world visited the site.A.c—b—a—e—d B.a—e—d—c—b C.b—a—c—e—d D.b—c—a—e—d 2.Which of the following statements is true?A.The Gloria Barron Prize honors people showing leadership and courage.B.Each year ten winners share US$2,000 to support their higher education.C.Ellie Wen was badly paid at a community center in Los Angeles.D.People can practice their English via Ellie’s website.3.The writer mainly talks about__________.A.how to open up a website with the help of othersB.how to teach immigrant families English via the InternetC.the Gloria Barron Prize and the story of one of its winnersD.young people who help others in various waysBCell phones:Is there a cancer link?Could your cell phone give you cancer? Whether it could or not, some people are worrying about the possibility that phones, power lines and Wi-Fi could be responsible for a range of illnesses, from rashes to brain tumors.Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties. David Carpenter, a professor of environmental health sciences at the university at Albany, in New York, thinks there’s a greater than 95 percent chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia (白血病). Also there’s a greater than 90 percent chance that cell phones can cause brain tumors. “It’s apparent now that there’s a real risk, ”said Carpenter.But others believe these concerns are not justified. Dr Martha Linet, head of radiation epidemiology (流行病学) at the US National Cancer Institute, has looked at the same research asCarpenter but has reached a different conclusion. “I don’t support warning labels for cell phones, ”said Linet. “We don’t have the evidence that there’s much danger.”Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs (电磁场) and illness—so weak that it might not exist at all. A multinational investigation of cell phones and brain cancer, in 13 countries outside the US, has been underway for several years. It’s funded in part by the European Union, in part by a cell phone industry group. The final report should come out later this year, but data so far don’t suggest a strong link between cell phone use and cancer risk.4.From the passage we can learn that some people are worried because________.A.they have evidence that the use of cell phones can lead to cancerB.they feel surprised and alarmed about cell phone useC.some experts have given a warningD.cell phones are responsible for brain tumors5.By saying “I don’t support warning labels for cell phones, ”Dr Martha Linet has the idea that_______.A.the worrying is unnecessaryB.cancer—warning labels should be on cell phonesC.there is a link between cell phones and cancerD.cell phones have nothing to do with cancer6.Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards the debate?A.Optimistic. B.Objective. C.Opposite. D.Casual. 7.The underlined word “justified” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to_____.A.explained B.confirmed C.classified D.restrictedCCan you believe your eyes? A recent experiment suggests that the answer to that question may depend on your age.Martin Doherty, a psychologist at the University of Stirling in Scotland, led the team of scientists. In this experiment, Doherty and his team tested the perception(观察力)of some people, using pictures of some orange circles. The researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people. The first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10, and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25.The first group of pictures showed two orange circles alone on a white background. One of the circles was larger than the other, and these people were asked to identify the larger one. Four-year-olds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the time. Adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time.Next, both groups were shown pictures where the orange circles, again of different sizes, were surrounded by gray circles. Here’s where the trick lies. In some of the pictur es, the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller gray circles—making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle, which was the real larger one. And the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circles—so it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle.When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures, they weren’t fooled—they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as before. Older children and adults, on the other hand, did not do as well. Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one, and adults got it wrong most of the time.As children get older, Doherty said, their brains may develop the ability to identify visual context. In other words, they will begin to process the whole picture at once: the tricky gray circles, as well as the orange circle in the middle. As a result, they’re more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick.8.Doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evaluate_________.A.Children’s and adults’ eye-sight B.people’s ability to see accuratelyC.children’s and adults’ brains D.the influence of people’s age9.When asked to find the larger circle,__________.A.children at 6 got it wrong 79%of the time with no gray ones aroundB.only adults over 18 got it right 95%of the time with gray ones aroundC.children at 4 got it right about 79%of the time with gray ones aroundD.adults got it right most of the time with gray ones around10.According to the passage,we can know that__________.A.a smaller orange circle appears bigger on a white backgroundB.an orange circle appears bigger than a gray one of the same sizeC.a circle surrounded by other circles looks bigger than its real sizeD.a circle surrounded by bigger ones looks smaller than its real size11.Why are younger children not fooled?A.Because they are smarter than older children and adults.B.Because older people are influenced by their experience.C.Because people’s eyes become weaker as they grow older.D.Because their brain can hardly notice related things together.DAs you are probably aware, the latest job markets news isn’t good: Unemployment is still more than 9 percent, and new job growth has fallen close to zero. That’s bad for the economy, of course. And it may be especially discouraging if you happen to be looking for a job or hoping to change careers right now. But it actually shouldn’t matter to you nearly as much as you think.That’s because job growth numbers don’t matter to job hunters as much as job staff-turnover (人员流动) data. After all, existing jobs open up every day due to promotions,resignations,and retirements. (Yes,people are retiring even in this economy.)In both good times and bad,staff-turnover creates more openings than economic growth does. Even in June of 2007, when the economy was still booming along, job growth was only 132,000, while staff-turnover was 4.7 million!And as it turns out, even today—with job growth near zero—over 4 million job hunters are being hired every month.I don’t mean to imply that overall job growth doesn’t have an impact on one’s ability to landa job. It’s true that if total employment were higher. It would mean more jobs for all of us to choose from(and compete for). And it's true that there are currently more people applying for each available job opening, regardless of whether it’s a new one or not.But what often distinguishes those who land jobs from those who don’t is their ability to stay motivated. They’re willing to do the hard work of identifying their valuable skills;be creative about where and how to look; learn how to present themselves to potential employers; and keep going, even after repeated rejections. The Bureau of Labor Statistics data show that 2.7 million people who wanted and were available for work hadn’t hunted for it within the last four weeks and were no longer even classified as unemployed.So don’t let the headlines fool you into giving up. Four million people get hired every monthin the U.S. You can be one of them.12.The author tends to believe that high unemployment rate_________.A.takes job opportunities from peopleB.prevents many people from changing careersC.should not stop people from looking for a jobD.does not mean the U.S. economy is worsening13.What does the author say about overall job growth?A.It doesn’t have much effect on individual job seekers.B.It increases people’s confidence in the economy.C.It gives a ray of hope to the unemployed.D.It doesn’t mean greater job security for the employed.14.What is the key to finding a job according to the author?A.Education B.Intelligence C.Persistence D.Experience 15.What do we learn about The Bureau of Labor Statistics unemployment data?A.They clearly indicate how healthy the economy is.B.They provide the public with the latest information.C.They warn of the structural problems in the economy.D.They don’t include those who have stopped looking for a job.第二部分:七选五(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, 并在答题卡上写出答案。

AGraham and his friends preferred to shoot up in their arms, necks and legs. A dealer once said Graham was the type who would never be able to turn back and that he expected him to die from the drug. Wendy feared the same, but didn’t know how to save her son. “Once, after he’d disappeared for more than a month, I found him at a friend’s house with a bunch of other users,” she said, “I got down on my hands and knees, begging him to come home. He did, but the next morning he was gone. I don’t know what made him do it, but I drove 20 miles to the nearest train station. Graham was headed for Seattle, his pockets full of drugs. If I hadn’t gotten there in time, I would never have seen him alive again.”The turning point came in 2007, after Graham was arrested yet again for possession. Wendy got a call from the Montana Drugs Project, which works with local law enforcement(强制执行)to keep track of youth-related crimes so it can help families in trouble. Following a counselor’s advice, Wendy hired two men to come to her home in the middle of the night, tie Graham and take him to a treatment program in Thompson Falls, Montana. “I was high when the y came and really angry with my mom,” he said, “But if she hadn’t done that, drugs would have killed me.” After six months of treatment, Graham, now 19, came back to Kalispell, where he’s grown close to Wendy once again. “I still have the desires every day and attend support meetings every night,” he said, “But life is worth living again. My mom thinks that’s a miracle. I guess she is right.”1. The underlined phrase “shoot up” in paragraph 1 probably means_________.A. increase very quickly and suddenlyB. put illegal drugs into the body by using a needleC. kill or injure someone by using a gunD. try to achieve a particular aim2. When the two men came to their home in the middle of the night, Graham _______.A. had just taken drugs and was in the state of excitement.B. was sleeping in a high bed above the ground.C. had just taken drugs and was in the state of suffering.D. was quarrelling with his mother.3. What conclusion can be drawn from the end of the passage?A. Graham is still using drugs now.B. Graham hates his mother very much.C. Graham thinks he can’t be saved.D. Graham has come off drugs now.BAs the population of the planet increases, so does the number of homes, businesses, parking lots, schools, airports and roadways. All these structures use electricity and need to be lighted. Humans demand these lights. They want their homes more comfortable and they want their streets safe. The problem is that researchers are finding that all the light is having a negative effect on humans and wildlife as well.Less than 10 years ago I drove to a thinly populated section of my town, lay down in the middle of the road and watched an attractive meteor shower (流星雨). The area was short of homes, street lights and traffic. If I did that today, I wouldn't be able to see the meteor shower as well. Due to the increase in street lights, I would surely be run over by a car.Nowadays scientists are finding light pollution can be almost as bad as carbon dioxide pollution. If you've ever taken a flight at night, the view is beautiful, but you must remember that all the light you see wastes electricity. The crew of the space shuttles see an even bigger picture of how extensive the wasted electricity is worldwide.One of the saddest parts of light pollution is that most of it is unnecessary and most of the outdoor light that we use is wasted. One only needs to look at a row of street lights to see how much of the light shines upwards and lights the sky; a total waste of electricity.Additionally, somewhere electricity needs to be produced, and the production of electricity creates pollution by releasing greenhouse gases. This affects the air we breathe and our quality of life.Scientists are also studying the effects of light pollution on wildlife. Thousands of birds die each year when they crash into highly lighted buildings, as they become puzzled by the light. It has been long known that tiny baby sea turtles become lost and follow lights on the shore instead of heading towards the sea.Fortunately, light pollution is one of the easiest sources of pollution that can be corrected without a negative effect. Following some guidelines and a little searching on Google can give you many ideas on how to reduce your contribution to light pollution.4. It is implied in Paragraph 3 that the best way to deal with light pollution is ________.A. reducing the output of the lightsB. avoiding the use of unnecessary lightingC. educating people about light pollutionD. inventing environmentally- friendly lights5. Which of the following is the effect of light pollution?A. Many animals’ species have died out.B. More traffic accidents happen every day.C. The air we breathe may be polluted.D. It is much easier for us to watch meteor showers.6. What can be inferred from the text?A. We are almost at a loss how to deal with light pollution.B. Global warming results in light pollution in some way.C. Astronauts can’t see clearly in space nowadays.D. Some animals use natural light to direct their movements.7. What will probably be provided following the last paragraph?A. Helpful tips for surfing the Internet.B. approaches to decreasing light pollution.C. Benefits of searching on Google.D. More bad effects of light pollution.CDirector of Overseas FinanceFinancial ServicesEdinburghPermanentUpdated October 30, 2014Reporting into the Administration and Finance Partner, this is a new role with responsibility for oversight and leadership in international financial matters, overseas tax issues and overseas operational management.Key responsibilities include:•Overseeing(监督) development and implementation(实施) of overseas tax strategy and managing relationships with relevant authorities and advisors.•Managing international financial planning, forecasting and reporting requirements.•Analysis and communication of impacts and responses to tax and other regulatory(管理的) documents.•Establishment and maintenance of appropriate systems, controls and records.•Managing and leading senior accountants and managers.Who we’re looking forThe successful candidate will be a qualified accountant with a strong academic record and will have:•Experience of managing the finances of an international commercial organization.•A track record of delivering improved efficiency and effectiveness in financial operations.•Experience of leading and developing teams with proven change management experience.About our customersBaillie Gifford is one of the UK’s leading investment management firms and is a major player in the asset(资产)management business.

Some ran anyway. Some ran away. But no one cancelled on the advice of the organizers, the Chinese Athletic Association and the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Sports, because those organizations did not call it off. That has made participants call the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), which has approved the 26-mile, or 42-kilometer race, to set air quality standards in the future to avoid damaging the runners’ health. The association could not be reached by telephone on Sunday.“Does the IAAF have guidelines?” asked Chas Pope, a British engineer who took part in the marathon on Sunday. “If they don’t,they should consider it,”said Mr. Pope, who has lived in Beijing for 11 years and runs several long-distance races each year. “It’s meant to be fun and good for your health,”Mr. Pope said of the marathon. “But in such air, it’s just ridiculous to be running,” he said. He abandoned the course. “Most of my overseas friends pulled out,” he said. “And quite a few of my Chinese friends too, but a lot didn’t. I think they don’t know as much about the health impact.”Images on Twitter and Chinese social media showed Chinese runners wearing a variety of face protections, from light cloth masks to World War I-style gas masks. Still many completed the race without masks. “Today’s race should definitely have been called off or rescheduled,”said Zhang Kai, Beijing-based campaigner with Greenpeace East Asia. “What happened today to this sport even is just another reminder to the government that much remains to be done to China’s energy and industrial structure to solve pollution,” said Mr. Zhang. “If the battle against pollution is a marathon, it is now time to catch up on speed.”In the end, the race was won by two Ethiopians: Girmay Birhanu Gebru won the men’s race in 2 hours, 10 minutes and 42 seconds while Fatuma Sado Dergo won the women’s in 2 hours, 30 minutes and 3 seconds, breaking Chinese women’s advantage of the race for the last 22 years.The favored Chinese woman runner, Gong Lihua, told China News Net that the smog didn’t affect her too much but it interfered with many people’s ability to sweat, affecting their performance.12. The underlined sentences “Some ran anyway. Some ran away.” mean _____________.A. Some runners who dropped out returned to run.B. Some runners gave up after running a short distance.C. Not all runners continued to run.D. Most runners quit the race.13. Why did participants call the IAAF?A. To tell it the Beijing International Marathon was also named Smogathon.B. To appeal to it to set air quality standards in the future.C. To tell it the 42-kilometer race should be cancelled.D. To appeal to it to make some laws to prevent pollution.14. Which of the following states does Chas Pope agree to?A. A dirty haze is harmful to health.B. Running in any air is good.C. The marathon in China should be cancelled.D. Friends should learn from each other.15. Zhang Kai thinks the battle against pollution _______.A. will be the most urgent thing in China.B. should be got rid of immediately.C. is connected with China’s unreasonable energy and industrial structure.D. will remind all the Chinese to reduce pollution.第二部分:七选五(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, 并在答题卡上写出答案。

Researchers at Harvard University in the United States and the Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden did the study.They had about two hundred college students play a version of the game known as the Prisoner’s Dilemma. The game is based on the tension (矛盾;对立) between the interests (利益) of an individual and a group. The students played in groups of four. Each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain equality. But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players, at a cost to the punisher.Harvard researcher David Rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation. The groups that rewarded it the most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded it the least. And the more a group punished itself, the lower its earnings were. The group with the most punishment earned twenty-five percent less than the group with the least punishment. The study appeared last month in the journal Science.The other study involved children. It was presented last month in California at a conference on violence and abuse. Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups. More than eight hundred children aged two to four the first time they were tested. More than seven hundred children aged five to nine.The two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test. Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not. The study said the IQs—or intelligence quotients—of the younger children who were not spanked were five points higher than those who were. In the other group, the difference was almost three points.Murray Strauss from the University of New Hampshire worked with Mallie Paschall for the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation. Professor Strauss has written extensively about physical punishment of children. He says the more they are spanked, the slower their mental development is. He also looked at average IQs in other nations and found them lower where spanking was more common.9. Which could be the best title of the passage?A. Two Different Studies and the Same ResultsB.

黑龙江省大庆铁人中学2015届高三高考模拟(三)英语试题出题人:卢志国审题人:惠宏丹第I卷第一部分:阅读理解阅读下列短文,从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AOne hometown owner in Detroit is intending to exchange his villa for the latest iPhone 6.The owner has dropped the asking price from $ 5,000 to a new iPhone 6 as the owner is desperate to sell before the tax auction (拍卖) season where “thousands” of homes near foreclosure (房屋止赎权) will flood into the market, a real estate broker (房地产经纪人) called Larry Else told ABC News.“This house is really not worth much at all,” Else said. The windows are broken and there is no front door. The broker himself has not been inside the home because his company has a policy of not going in unsecured houses alone. Detroit’s declining fortunes have left i ts population about a third of what it used to be in its peak, according to the U.S. Census Bureau(人口普查办公室).Now, the property has accrued (拖欠) more than $6,000 in back taxes (退税款) and will enter foreclosure next year if that debt is not settled. So while the owner is asking for an iPhone 6, the true cost of the sale comes from the buyer including the cost of the back taxes.That attracted great interest in the property, as Else said that he received four offers today alone. One woman said she was interested in the house for the wood. Another said that they would be willing to hand over an iPhone 5, and another offered $ 850. But Else hinted that the most likely buyer is someone who already lives on the block and put in a $ 700 bid(出价), and their familiarity with the area appeared to put them at the head of the pack. He said he expects one of the four offers to work out, and may even confirm the sale tonight.This is not the end of his bartering (物物交换) business, however, as Else sai d that he’s already gotten another call from a homeowner who has had trouble selling their property.21.Why did the owner drop his price for the house?A.Because the house was too old.B.Because there is a boom in economy.C.Because he wanted to sell the house quickly.D.Because the population in Detroit is small.rry Else hasn’t come into the house because _______.A.it is dangerous to enter itB.the owner doesn’t permit itC.he is not familiar with the areaD.it will break the company’s rule23.The house will most possibly be sold at the price of _______.A. $ 5,000B. $ 850C. $ 700D. an iPhone 624.The passage is most probably taken from ________.A. a story bookB. a news reportC. an economy reportD. a tourist brochureBRegardless of the fact that getting dressed in baseball caps and T-shirts are classic American style choices; the preppy(学院风格) look is what sophisticated(高雅时髦的) British youths wear. But when it comes to the best-dressed nation, neither the US nor the UK tops CNN’s list. So which country has the best fashion sense? Take a look.ItalyItaly is a country which lays a strong emphasis on outward appearance. Elegance is in Italian blood and most Italians would give up comfort in order to look graceful. They dress well even for simple trips to the grocery store.Both males and females have a good understanding of style, dressing themselves up with well-groomed(讲究的) hair and a smart pair of shoes. It is no wonder that so many of the best fashion designers are Italian!SwedenRetail(零售) giant H & M continues to spread affordable Swedish style around the world. What has been called the “Swedish fashion miracle” actually comes from the “less is more” philosophy. The Swedes tend to adopt a practical approach to what they wear, but they don’t lackcreativity.FranceThe French have a chic(别致的) air about them. They appear casual and elegant without being over-dressed or under-dressed, and always seem to give off confidence in their style choices. “The laissez-faire(自由放任的) approach to fashion is something many people love —and the looks they wear are something we all want to emulate on a daily basis,” said The Huffington Post.25. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. Getting dressed sophisticatedly is American style.B. Wearing T-shirts is British style.C. British young people like the preppy style.D. The UK is the best-dressed country in the world.26. What can we learn from Swedish dressing style?A. It is practical and creative.B. It is unaffordable.C. It lacks confidence.D. It lacks creativity.27. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “emulate” in the last paragraph?A. Imitate.B. Thrill.C. Like.D. Hate.CBabies don’t learn to talk just from hearing sounds. They are lip-readers too. It happens during the stage when a baby’s babbling (咿呀声) gradually changes from unclear voices into that first “mama” or “dada” . The baby in order to do like you has to figure out how to shape their lips to make that particular sound they are hearing, according to developmental psychologist David Lewkowicz of Florida Atlantic University, who led the study.Apparently it doesn’t take them too long to absorb the movements that match basic sounds. By their first birthdays, babies start changing back to look you in the eye again. It offers more evidence that quality face-time with babies is very important for speech development more than, say, turning on the latest baby DVD.But Lewkowicz went a step further. He and his student Amy Hansen-Tift tested nearly 180 babies, groups of them at ages 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 months. How? They showed videos of a woman speaking in English or Spanish to babies of English speakers. They found that when the speaker used English, the 4-month-olds gazed mostly into her eyes. The 6-months-olds spent equalamounts of time looking at the eyes and the mouth. The 8-and 10-month-olds studied mostly the mouth. At 12 months, attention started changing back toward the speaker’s eyes.But what happened when these babies accustomed to English heard Spanish? The 12-month-olds studied the mouth longer, just like younger babies. They needed the extra information to recognize the unfamiliar sounds. That fits with research into bilingualism (双语)that shows babies’ brains adjust themselves to distinguishing the sounds of their native language over other languages in the first year of life.The continued lip-reading shows the 1-year-olds clearly still are fit for learning. Babies are so hard to s tudy that this is “a fairly heroic data set”, says Duke University cognitive neuroscientist Greg Appelbaum, who found the research so fascinating that he wants to know more.28. According to the first paragraph, babies______.A. might get its voice “mama” by lip-readingB. learn to talk just from hearing the soundsC. like to figure out how to shape their lipsD. communicate with parents through gestures29. What is necessary in developing babies’ speech according to Lewkowicz?A. Playing baby DVD nearby.B. Teaching babies to read English.C. Speaking with babies face to face.D. Speaking different languages in front of babies.30. Which of the following shows the right change of babies’ eye gaze according to the text?DIt’s a popular belief that a fish’s memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don’t remember what they’ve eaten or where they’ve been, and they don’t recognize you or any of their friends --- every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.But don’t be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago.In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again.Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish’s movements. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past “fights”.But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild.“If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risks,” lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list ofsmart animals. But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.32.What is the article mainly about?A.Fish having very bad memories.B.Fish being smarter than we thought.C.How fish improve their memory.D.What we can learn from fish.33.According to the article, people used to believe that _______.A.fish could only remember part of their past experiencesB.fish could remember things that happened 12 days agoC. a fish’s memory lasted for only seven minutesD.fish didn’t recognize any of their friends34.How can fish benefit most from a good memory? They can remember _______.A.where to get food and surviveB.their enemies and fightC.where to escape to when in dangerD.their friends and help each other35.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Fish behave aggressively in a fight.B.Fish can remember more.C.Fish don’t belong to the list of smart animals.D.Only African cichlids have a good memory.第二部分:七选五(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, 并在答题卡上写出答案。

ANowadays, people highlight the requirement of education, which emphasizes children’s ability, personality and even independence. Children have to be “well-rounded” students by spending countless family hours attending extra classes. Last fall was a first-of-its-kind season. I did not arrange any after-school classes for my children. No swimming. No music lessons. No play dates. Nothing.Once they finished their homework, they were free to do what they pleased, but only one hour of TV. In the beginning, my sons, Ben, 11, and Nick, 9, were anxious about this sudden, unplanned freedom. I had to push them out of the door with a ball, a bike and so on. “Play!” I ordered.I learned that this new plan takes time, patience and a lot of faith in the theory that having excellent grades isn’t really important.When my older kids, now in college and high school, were young, I brought in the rules of modern parenting. They are unspoken, but followed carefully. First, you must let your child have a variety of activities. After all, you never know where you’ll find a genius. Second, if the child shows the slightest talent, the activity must be pushed with lessons, special coaching (辅导) and practice of several days a week. Every minute should be taken and every minute has a purpose. That was really too much for my children.Now with the new plan, we told stories, or we listened to music. And the kids played with bikes, balls, and whatever was handy. Nobody kept score. In fact, the boys played outside so much that the lawn was worn down to the soil in places. They’ve made friends with those who come from all over the neighbourhood to play games.We like those peaceful evenings. Ben and Nick have a good time this fall. Maybe that’s because the time-off has allowed us to enjoy each other’s company.21. What was new for the family last fall?A. The children began to learn music when school was over.B. The children had nothing to do after school.C. The writer found no time to play with the sons.D. The writer arranged no extra lessons for the children.22. At the beginning of that season the children ________.A. were worried about the changeB. felt excited about making their own decisionsC. were pleased to have more freedomD. hated to spend more time on their homework23. According to “modern parenting” discussed in Paragraph 4, parents should ________.A. make use of every minute to be with the childrenB. provide coaching and practice for each activityC. try every means to find a child’s real talentD. know the rules but never talk about them24. From the passage we learn that ________.A. children like story-telling more than bike-ridingB. parents should teach their children how to make a planC. parents can enjoy their evenings when children play with othersD. children should have time to enjoy themselves after schoolB(CNN) -- A teenager with cancer who touched the hearts of many in the United Kingdom with his tireless fundraising efforts died Wednesday at age 19.It is the news that will sadden many supporters inspired by Stephen Sutton’s determination, generosity and good humor in the face of his illness. While he lost the battle to stay alive, he achieved a remarkable achievement: Having set himself the challenge of raising some £1million for a teenage cancer charity, he finally inspired over more than £3.22 million in donations.On his website, Stephen’s Story, he tells how he was first diagnosed with cancer in 2010, at age 15. “In a strange way, I see my first cancer diagnosis as a good thing. It was a huge kick up the backside. It gave me a lot of motivation for life.”Despite being told he would be unlikely to survive more than a few years, the teenager drew up a list of 46 tasks to complete before he died. “Some things on my list include sky diving, playing drums in front of a huge crowd, hugging an animal bigger than me...” However, the top of his list was to raise £1million for the Teenage Cancer Trust.When he started the list, people came up to him and offered to raise funds for him. But he actually refused and decided to give the money to charity instead.The first internet campaign saw his fundraising target failed. Several weeks later, with his condition getting worse, Stephen Sutton posted a picture of himself in a hospital bed giving his thumbs-up sign in his blog. The message soon spread across the world. Countless celebrities and politicians, including Prime Minister David Cameron rose up to help the teenager.Sadly, on Wednesday 14th May, his mother posted a message on Facebook which read:“My heart is bursting with pride but breaking with pain for my courageous, selfless, inspirational son who passed away peacefully in his sleep in the early hours of this morning.”25. What can we learn about Stephen Sutton according to the passage?A. He kept all the donation for himself.B. His first internet campaign achieved a great success.C. He got positive responses for his efforts.D. He joined the Teenage Cancer Trust.26. The underlined sentence in paragraph 3 means ________.A. the cancer was something motivating Stephen to do what he wishedB. he suffered a lot from the diseaseC. he took the cancer for grantedD. the cancer made him think about life deeply27. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Stephen Sutton won the support of Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.B. A British teenage cancer sufferer died after raising millions for charity.C. The 46 tasks in Stephen Sutton’s list.D. Stephen Sutton made full use of his limited life to raise money for others.CThere is no doubt that leading a low-carbon lifestyle is a popular trend in the modern society, where a considerable number of individuals begin to undertake the responsibility to protect the environment. One of my Chinadialogue colleagues in Beijing recently bought a Philips energy-saving light bulb to replace a standard one. He was happy with his choice. It may have cost 30 yuan (just under US$4.50)—ten times the price of a filament (灯丝) bulb—but he wanted to save energy as part of his low-carbon lifestyle. And according to the shopkeeper, he would save, in the long run, much more than the 30 yuan he was spending.Yet only one month later, his expensive light bulb blew up, before he had saved even a small part of the purchase price. Will he stick to his high-cost, low-carbon lifestyle?China’s environmental organizations have started to advocate low-carbon lifestyles and the decrease of carbon footprints to help fight against climate change. But they have overlooked one fact: in China, low-carbon living comes at a high cost.It means buying energy-saving bulbs and appliances, and environmentally friendly building materials and daily goods. Cost can no longer be the only standard for purchases. An energy-saving and environmentally friendly product is more expensive than a standard alternative—whether it’s a simple light bulb or the house it shines. For average consumers, even buying an ordinary house is a huge burden. How can we persuade ordinary people to choose an energy-saving residence? This is not a trend they can afford to follow; perhaps this fashion is only for the rich.Most consumers today do not cause huge carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Their responsibility lies not in choosing a low-carbon lifestyle today, but in avoiding a high-carbon life in the future. The principle of “common but differentiated (可区分的)responsibility”—a basis of sustainable(可持续的)development—can be applied here as well.In China, low-carbon living is still resisted by a lack of social infrastructure (基础设施). Even if your salary allows you to make that choice, nobody is there to help you accomplish it. Many so-called energy-saving buildings are even more energy-hungry than the average home.28. What may probably be the best title of this passage?A. To purchase a cheap bulb—your wise alternativeB. To choose an energy-saving residence—a must of your lifeC. To live a low-carbon lifestyle—a promising but difficult purposeD. To live a low-carbon lifestyle—each citizen’s responsibility29. Why did the writer’s colleague get an energy-saving light bulb?A. He wanted to save some money.B. He wanted to try living his low-carbon lifestyle.C. He was asked to do so by some organizations.D. He wanted to use a more powerful light bulb.30. We can infer from the passage that ________.A. using energy-saving bulbs and appliances is a fashionB. not all citizens have the same responsibility—live a low-carbon lifestyleC. i t’s difficult for most Chinese to try to live a low-carbon lifestyleD. most Chinese families cannot afford to purchase an energy-saving residence31. What is the wr iter’s attitude towards the low-carbon lifestyle?A. supportive but cautiousB. optimistic and entertainingC. negative but wiseD. positive and activeDWelcome To Thailand!A. 0824134883.B. 076280732.C. 076280856.D. 076510633.33.
