He was the oldest of five children. Danny‟s dad was a truck driver and not home much, and his mom worked odd jobs when she could not help make ends meet(入不敷出). In October, I gave Danny a pair of mittens(手套) and hat never thinking he would be so proud when he 21 his hat and mittens because these are a few of the things he actually owned. He 22 them to the playground between classes and 23 put them in his desk when he came in. After school, I found his mittens and hat in his desk. When I questioned him 24 he forgot to bring them home, he explained that stuff(东西) 25 easily misplaced at home with so many kids and he didn‟t want to lose his 26 hat and mittens.Danny didn‟t have a lot to be proud of. He wasn‟t a very good student, 27 he tried hard. His best 28 was art. I got several art projects into the reading curriculum(课程) that year to develop his self-confidence. Soon it came time for Christmas. Parents decided to collect twenty-five cents from each child who could afford it and buy a present for 29 . I wasn‟t supposed to know, but not much gets by a teacher in her own classroom, especially at lunchtime, the child would get back the 30 , take out a quarter(twenty-five cents) then giggle(笑) and put it in their inner pocket. Danny was on free lunch for poor children, so I was pretty sure he wouldn‟t be bringing a quarter. But that was the 31 of this kind of present. I would never know who gave and who did not. The card would be signed by the whole class.The day of the party was unusually 32 . We watched a Christmas movie in the afternoon. We exchanged gifts, and then the students presented me with my gift. Befo re that, Danny asked me for a piece of paper and a piece of 33 . Although I was a little surprised 34 he wanted those things during a party, I happily provided the items. I went back to my office after the children left. On my desk, I found a folded piece of red art paper. I opened the hand-made Christmas card up and couldn‟t hold my 35 .The note said, “To my favorite teacher. You have always been there for me, and I really appreciate it.

At nine o‟clock, the manager‟s secretary, who lived in a small room above the office had to draw a red line under the last name in the book, and anyone who came after that had to give the reason for being late.Whenever there was a thick fog in the city, the first person that arrived late usually wrote “Delayed (耽搁) by fog” below his name and then everyone else who came after that just put “The Same”But one foggy morning, the first late man wrote “My wife had a baby early this morning ”instead of “Delayed by fog”. More than twenty people who came after him put “The Same”below as usual.·George worked in San Francisco. He wasn‟t married and he usually had his lunch and occasionally(偶尔) his dinner, in small restaurants.One evening he decided to go to a luxurious(豪华的) restaurant and when he got in, he saw a large, heavy man who he had not seen for several years sitting by himself at a table. He thought for a few moments and then remembered the man‟s name, so he went up to him and said politely, “Hello, Mr. Grey. Long time no see. How‟s business?”“Oh, it‟s not good at all,” the large man answered.George looked at the expensive food and wine on Mr. Grey‟s table and was surprised. “It certainly doesn‟t look as if your business is bad.” He said.“Well,” Mr. Grey answered sadly. “I‟m afraid you are wrong. A few years ago I could affordto bring my wife to this place for dinner, too. But now I can only come here alone.”36.When there was a thick fog. “The Same” meant ”_________”.A.Delayed by fog B.I was also in a thick fogC.So was I D.I was late, too37.More than twenty people were late that morning.

It was dark and raining. Suddenly she saw an old woman by the side of the road, holding her hand out as if she wanted a lift.“I can‟t leave her out in this weather,” the woman said to herself, so she stopped the car and opened the door.“Do you want a lift?” she asked. The old woman nodded and climbed into the car. After a while, she said to the old woman, “Have you been waiting for a long time?”The old woman shook her head. “Strange.” thought the young woman. She tried again. “Bad weather for the time of year,” she said. The old woman nodded. No matter what the young woman said, the hitchhiker gave no answer except for a nod of the head or a shrug(耸肩).Then the young woman noticed the hitchhiker‟s hands, which were large and hairy. Suddenly she realized that the hitchhiker was actually a man! She stopped the car. “I can‟t see out of the rear screen,” she said, “would you mind clearing it for me?”The hitchhiker nodded and opened the door. As soon as the hitchhiker was out of the car, the terrified young woman raced off.When she got to the next village she pulled to a stop. She noticed that the hitchhiker had left his handbag behind. She picked it up and opened it. She gave a gasp, inside the bag was a gun.40.A “lift” in the text means_________.A.an elevator B.a ride in the carC.an act of raising something D.help from others41.What made the driver feel strange about the old woman?A.That she kept nodding her head. B.That she was unable to speak.C.That she gave no answer to her questions. D.That she had large and hairy hands. 42.What does the underlined word “hitchhiker” most probably refer to?A.a bad man B.a robber on the roadC.one who isn‟t much of a talker D.one who asks for a free ride in others‟ car 43.The young woman asked the hitchhiker to clear the rear screen because________.A.this was the way she thought of to get rid of himB.she couldn‟t see out of the rear screenC.the hitchhiker didn‟t say anythingD.the hitchhiker frightened herCOne silly question I simply can‟t stand is “How do you feel?”. Usually the question is asked of a man in action--a man on the go, walking along the streets, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He‟ll probably say, “Fine, I‟m all right,”but you have put a bug(小昆虫) in his ear--maybe now he‟s not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face or his walk that he overlooked(忽略) that morning. It starts worrying him a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else “How do you feel?”. Every question has its time and place. It‟s perfectly acceptable, for instance(例如), to ask “How do you feel?” if you‟re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to take a train, or sitting at his desk working, do not ask him that silly question.When George Bernard Shaw, a famous writer of plays, was in his eighties, someone asked him, “How do you feel?” Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age, ” he said, “either you feel all right or you‟re dead.”44.According to the writer, greetings such as “How do you feel?”_________.A.show one‟s consideration for others B.are a good way to make friendsC.are proper to ask a man in action D.generally make one feel uneasy 45.The question “How do you feel?” seems to be correct and suitable when asked of________.A.a man working at his desk B.a person having lost a close friendC.a stranger who looks somewhat worried D.a friend who is ill46.George Bernard Shaw‟s reply in the text shows his__________.A.cheerfulness B.cleverness C.ability D.politeness 47.“You‟ve put a bug in his ear” means that you‟ve___________.A.made him laugh B.shown concern for himC.made fun of him D.given him some kind of hint(暗示)DA long time ago, in Egypt there lived a famous mystical(神秘的) person named Zun-Nun. One day a young man came to visit him and asked. “Teacher, I do not understand why people like you when you dress in such a simple way?”The mystic only smiled and took his ring from one of his fingers, and said, “Young friend, I will answer your question, but first do one thing for me. Take this ring and go to the market across this street. Can you sell this for one chip of gold?”Looking at Zun-Nun‟s dirty ring, the young man became doubtful, “One chip of gold? I am not sure this ring could be sold at that price.”The young man went to the market quickly. He offered the ring to the textile, vegetable, meat, fish traders, and the others. The fact is that nobody was willing to pay for a chip of gold. He went back to Zun-Nun‟s home and reported, “Teacher, nobody‟s brave enough to offer more than one chip of silver. ”With a wise smile Zun-Nun said, “Now go to the Gold Shop at the back of this street and show this to the owner or to the gold trader. Don‟t give your price; just listen to how much he will pay for this ring. ”The young man went to the shop mentioned and returned with a different expression on his face. He reported, “Teacher, the traders in the market really didn‟t know the value of this ring, the gold trader offered this ring for one thousand chips of gold, and the value of this ring was one thousand times more than what the traders in the market offered.”Zun-Nun just smiled and spoke softly, “That was the answer of your question, my friend. Someone cannot be valued only form his dress. The traders in the market give value like that but not for …The gold trader‟.”The gold and diamond inside someone only could be seen and valued if you could look at the inner soul. It needs heart to see, and it needs a process. We cannot see it form the words or attitude. Many a time what we think is a gold, is only a brass but a brass(铜) is a gold. 48.Why did the young man come to visit Zun-Nun?A.Because Zun-Nun was a mystical person.B.Because he wondered why Zun-Nun was popular.C.Because he himself wanted to be famous.D.Because Zun-Nun invited him to do so.49.Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage?A.The young man went to the market but nobody was willing to pay for a chip of gold.B.The gold trader knew the value of the ring.C.All the traders in the market didn‟t know the value of the ring.D.The young man got a satisfying answer from Zun-Nun.50.Which is the best title of the passage?A.Zun-Nun, a mystical person B.Gold and DiamondC.A curious young man D.The value of a gold ring第II卷四、根据短文内容及所给的首字母写出所缺的单词。

No matter whether your idea of a hike is a leisure walk or climbing the highest mountain on Earth, we've got you covered. Below are four best hikes inthe world.Torres del Paine W CircuitLocation (位置): Patagonia. ChileDistance: 37 + milesTime: 5~6 daysBest time to go: October to JanuaryThe W Circuit is one of the most recommended hikes you'll find. Not only will you appreciate the diverse landscapes and striking granite pillars (花岗岩柱子), but you'll probably meet some new friends along the way.Grand Canyon Rim - to - Rim HikeLocation: Arizona, the United StatesDistance: 48 milesTime: 1~3 daysBest time to go: May to June, September to OctoberThere's no better way to experience one of the greatest wonders in the world. Located in one of the USA's most beautiful parks, the views are ly appealing. Just make sure you're prepared for the challenge.Trek to PetraLocation: JordanDistance: 47 milesTime: 5~ 6 daysBest time to go: October to AprilTake the road less traveled through the Kingdom of Jordan and experience one of the seven wonders of the world. Hike through canyons, gorges and ridges, and see tombs and temples along the way all while avoidingcrowds of tourists.Yosemite Grand TraverseLocation: California, the United StatesDistance: 60 milesTime: 6~7 daysBest time to go: July to SeptemberKnown for some of the best hiking in the world, Yosemite National Park is famous for its views and huge sequoia (红杉) trees. Praised byNational Geographic, the Yosemite Grand Traverse will take you through waterfalls and green mountaintops.1.Which of the following is the best time for the hike in Patagonia, Chile?A.AprilB.MayC.AugustD.December2.Where should you go for a less crowded hike?A.JordanB.Patagonia, ChileC.Arizona, the United StatesD.California, the United States3.What can you do along the Yosemite Grand Traverse?A.Plant sequoia treesB.Appreciate waterfallsC.Visit local templesD.Climb granite pillarsBCompared to dogs, cats are often considered to be aloof(冷漠的)with respect to their human owners. It is usual for them to be indifferent(无动于衷的)when humans calltheir names. Are we sure that they don’t understand human voices at all?A recent study published in the journal of Scientific Reports suggests that we’ve been fooled. Japanese scientists found that cats can recognize their names if their owners regularly use them. In the study, scientists recruited 78 domestic cats. They played recordings of voices of their owners saying five words: the first four words were random nouns thatresembledtheir names while the final word was the cat’s name. Then they observed the cats’ responses, if there were any.Most of cats moved their ears or heads when they heard their names, while they made no response to other words. That suggested, “cats were paying attention to you, what you say and what you do,” John Bradshaw, an expert on human-animal interactions(互动)at the University of Bristol, UK, told The Times. “And cats were just as good as dogs at learning,” she added.In the study, when people called their names, cats often associated (联系) the words with rewards, such as food or play, or with “punishments” such as having a bath or going to the vet . This made cats sensitive (敏感的) to words. After the cats had been called several times, they could respond to the words. But the scientists added that while dogs have evolved(进化)to follow their owners’ orders, cats have not. Although cats appear to be distant, they do have special relationships with their owners.According to study co-author Atsuko Saito, cats have evolved not to show their emotions as a survival method. One example is illness, which they tend to hide because “in the wild, no one can rescue them” and predators (捕食性动物) are more likely to pay attention to them, Saito explained.However, technology may help bridge the communication gap between cats and us. There are now mobile apps available to explain what their meows mean. So, the next time you hear “meow, meow”,your cat may be telling you: “Hi, you haven’t cleaned my litter box recently.”4. What did the recent study find about cats?A. Cats can recognize their names.B. Cats are cleverer than dogs.C. Cats learn more slowly than dogs.D. Cats are willing to follow orders.5. What does the underlined word“resembled”in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. were limited toB. were different fromC. were similar toD. were away from6. Why do cats appear distant to their human owners?A. They associate words with punishments.B. They want to protect themselves from harm.C. They are not sensitive to the human voice.D. They don’t pay much attention to their surroundings.7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. It is difficult to understand cats’ meows.B. Interaction with your cats is very important.C. Cats do have good relationships with their owners.D. We may know cats better with the help of technology.CAs we all know, there are plenty of different parks to visit in theUK. All theme parks inBritainhave cafes, restaurants, picnic areas and gift shops, so you'll still have plenty to see and do when you and the kids have beenon enough rides. There are usually smaller “funfair“ rides and games as well, so younger children won't get bored. Several theme parks also have other attractions next to them, e. g. water parks often open all year round, unlike the theme parks.Whenever you are inBritain, there's likely to be a theme park within one or two hours,drive, bus ride or train journey. Several theme parks even have accommodation(膳宿)so you can stay for a day or two if you want to make a trip into a short holiday.Prices forUKtheme parks vary considerably; some have an entrance price which allows you to go on all the rides, while in others you have to pay for every ride individually. It can also make a difference whether you go during peak time or not. For example, tickets always cost more during school holidays and weekends than they do during the weekdays.Theme parks always get very busy during the summer months, so if you don't like crowds ifs usually a good idea to go earlier or later in the year!If you're thinking of visiting aUKtheme park, it's worth having a look for special offers on tickets. Products such as chocolate bars and cereals sometimes have " buy one get one free" offers on theme park tickets, so keep a look out in shops and supermarkets.8. This passage mainly talks about all the following EXCEPT.______.A. things to doB. prices for theme parksC. rules to obeyD. special offers9. If you go to the theme park during the weekdays, you'll probably.______.A. have to spend moreB. save some moneyC. win a big prizeD. get something free10. According to the passage, what should you do if you are tired of crowds in the theme park?A. Avoid the busiest months.B. Go earlier or later in the daytime.C. Choose one with few visitors.D. Go there when no one is in it.11. The best title for the text would be ______.A. What to Do in the Theme ParkB. Theme Parks in theUKC. Visiting the Theme ParkD. Introduction to Famous Theme ParksDThree years ago, a group of researchers at Cornell University Food and Brand Lab had a guess. They knew that many apples being served to kids as part of the National School Lunch Program were ending up in the trash,almost untouched. But unlike others, they wondered if the reason was more complicated than simply that the kids didn’t want the fruit.They thought the fact that the apples were being whole, rather than sliced (切片的), was doing the fruit no favor. And they wanted to prove this idea.They carried out a study at eight schools and found that fruit consumption (消费) jumped by more than 60 percent when apples were served sliced. They then made a follow-up study at six other schools, which not only showed the same result, but further supported. The whole apple consumption at schools that served sliced apples reduced by about 50 percent than before.Based on these results, it seems that even the simplest forms of inconvenience can influence us. Sliced apples just make more sense for kids. The hardest part is getting kids to start eating fruit, and that’s exactly why sliced apples are the way to go. A child holding a whole apple has to break the skin, eat around the core (果核), and deal with the inconvenience of holding a large fruit. These problems might seem silly or unimportant, but they’re important when you’re missing teeth or have braces (牙箍), as so many kids do.Sometimes what seems like a really small inconvenience actually makes a huge difference.12. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A. Lots of apples served to kids were wasted.B. Researcher supported the lunch program.C. Apples are not the only acceptable fruit for kids.D. The lunch program was well worth spreading.13. What did researchers want to prove?A. Kid didn’t want the fruits.B. Kids favored the whole apples.C. Kids preferred to the sliced apples.D. Kid’s eating habits influenced fruit consumption.14. According to the study, we can know________.A. 14 schools served sliced fruitsB. kids have problems eating the whole applesC. eating fruits must be healthy for childrenD. few kids are missing teeth or have braces15. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Form matters more than taste.B. Apples are beneficial to each kid.C. The way fruit is eaten links kids’ growth.D. Inconvenience probably makes a difference.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

At the end of the year, these people will receive some of the profits.” I asked Ben if running a business was difficult. He said tha t it was no problem. He said that they always received a lot of advice from teachers and business people.Another member of the group, Regina, told me the four questions they always asked themselves. The questions are:南充高中2013年素质技能邀请赛英语试题第 5 页共 20 页What do people want to buy?Where is a good place to sell the product?How is our product better than other products?How much is the product?I also wanted to know how the group was organized. Regina said that there were usually about five to seven students in each business and among them are one manager and one accountant(会计). I asked them who was the manager.“I am, of course,”said Regina.“It was my idea to produce picture books,” she said. “They have been very popular with the other students.” I also asked the students what other people sold. “Other groups in our school sell things like T-shirts, videos and computer games,” said Ben.“How much money do the businesses usually make?” I asked. “Some businesses make $ 20,000-30,000, but most groups make a small profit of about $ 1,000-3,000,” s aid Regina. I asked them what they did with the profits. “We can do what we like with the profits.” However, Regina told me that it was important not to waste the money. She always told the other groups to give the money to charity.Most students enjoy running a business and all the students said that they had learnt a lot.41. When the students begin a business, they ______.A. have made a small profitB. have got enough moneyC. borrow money from parents and friendsD. borrow money from teachers and business people42.

When the students run businesses, they get much help from other people.BMr. Smith( John’s English teacher): John Brown? Yes, I remember John. I know he was an unusually bright boy from the moment he entered the school. Writing came as naturally to him as walking. He enjoyed playing with words, in the same way that other boys played with a football. He wrote stories whenever he had the chance: stories that most of us couldn’t hope to write, with the experience of a person two or three times his age.Mrs. J ohn Brown (John’s mother): When he was young, John was always writing. He wrote in bed; he wrote while the rest of us were watching television, in the half darkness; he南充高中2013年素质技能邀请赛英语试题第 6 页共 20 页would even write at the breakfast table if I let him.

That’s what all doctors thought, until they heard about Al Herpin. Al Herpin, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.Al Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure.Herpin died at the age of 94.49.

Usually, achieving what you set out to do is not the important thing. Let me explain.Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. As they were working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch.“What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors.“We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!” one of the brothers answered excitedly.The older boys began to laugh, telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a long silence, one of the diggers picked up a jar full of spiders, worms and a lot of insects. He removed the lid and showed the wonderful contents to the visitors who were laughing at them. Then he said quietly and confidently, “Even if we don’t dig all the way through the earth, look at what we have found along the way!”Their goal was far too difficult, but it made them dig. And that is what a goal is for—to make us move in the direction we have chosen. In other words, it sets us to digging!But not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end successfully. Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. But when you fall short of your aim, perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I have found along the way! Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do somethin g!” And I believe it is the joy in the journey, in the end, that truly matters.53.
