AThere are quite a few advantages of wearing school uniforms. The idea may seem disagreeable at first, but considering all the positive effective coming from wearing uniforms you would be more likely to enjoy them.Teachers love school uniforms because it helps provide an orderly learning environment.

Some students may not like the lack of individuality(个性) with a uniform, but some school dress code policies may offer them the opportunities to show their unique styles.Uniforms today are also becoming trendier and can be seen in many areas of pop culture.

One day he decided to get the sweetest mango from the very top of the tree. Mangoes which are exposed to the sun the most are the sweetest.So he climbed up to the top, where the branches were thin. He managed to pick up a few sweet reddish fruits, but, in an attempt to climb down, he slipped and started falling towards the ground. Fortunately, he caught the branch as he was falling and remained helplessly hanging on the tree. Then he started to call nearby villagers for help. They immediately came with a ladder and sticks, but could do little to help him.Then after some time one calm and thoughtful person arrived — a well-known sage (a wise person) who lived in a simple hut nearby. People were very curious to see what he would do, as he was famous in solving many people’s problems in the area and sometimes very complicate d ones.He was silent for a minute and then picked up a stone and threw it at the hanging man.Everybody was surprised. The hanging mango lover started to shout, “What are you doing? Are you crazy? Do you want me to break my neck?” The sage was silent. Then he took another stone and threw it at the man. The man was very angry, “If I could just come down, I would show you!”That’s what everybody wanted. Then he was coming down. But how? Now everybody was tense about what would happen next! Some wanted to blame the sage, but they didn’t. The sage picked another stone and threw it again at the man, even more forcefully. Now the man on the tree was even more angry and developed a great determination to come down and take revenge (复仇).He then used all his skill and strength and somehow reached the branches which were safe to start going down. And he made it! Everybody was amazed.However, the rescued man found the sage gone. He stood there, realizing that the man really saved him because he induced (引诱) him to try his best and save himself.“I should be thankful and not angry.”56.

By mistake, President Clinton’s advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese. Clinton had not been told that, in Korea, wives keep their family names. President Kim Young Sam’s wife was named Sohm Myong Suk. Therefore, she should be addressed (称谓) as Mrs. Sohm.President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears. His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan.In addition to Koreans some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names. This practice often puzzles English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil’s parents. They become puzzled about the student’s correct last name. Placing the family name first is commo n among a number of Asian cultures.Mexican naming customs are different as well. When a woman marries, she keeps her family name and adds her husband’s name after the word “de”, which means “of”. This affects how they fill in forms in the United States. When requested to fill in a middle name, they generally write the father’s family name. But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother. This often causes puzzlement.Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations: don’t alwa ys think that a married woman uses her husband’s last name. Remember that in many Asian cultures, the order of first and last names is reversed (颠倒). Ask which name a person would prefer to use. If the name is difficult to pronounce, admit it, and ask the person to help you say it correctly.61. The story of Bill Clinton is used to ______.A. improve US Korean relationsB. introduce the topic of the textC. describe his visit to KoreaD. tell us how to address a person62. The word “gears” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.A. action plansB. naming customsC. travel mapsD. thinking patterns63. When a woman marries in Korea, she _____.A. continues to use her family nameB. uses her husband’s given nameC. shares her husband’s family nameD. adds her husband’s given name to hers64. To address a married woman properly, you’d better ______ .A. use her middle nameB. use her husband’s first nameC. ask her which name she likesD. change the order of her names65. What can NOT be inferred from the text?A. Wives do not keep their family names in Japan.B. Different countries have different naming customs in some way.C. Naming custom will not cause any puzzle among Asian countries.D. The naming custom in Korea is different from that of Japan.DI am a writer．I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language — the way it can bring an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth．Language is the tool of my trade．And I use them all — all the Englishes I grew up with．Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks．Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English．But I feel embarrassed to say that．It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness．I’ve heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example．But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s understanding of the limited English speaker．I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “limited” English limited my understanding of her．I was ashamed of her English．I believed that her English showed the quality of what she had to say．That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect．And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her．I started writing fiction in 1985．And for reasons I won’t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal(内在的) language, and for that I tried to keep the essence(精华), but neither an English nor a Chinese structure. I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts．66. By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that ______．A. she uses English in foreign tradeB. she is attracted by languagesC. she works as a translatorD. she is a writer by profession67.

AMost people cannot live to 100. Those that do can hardly walk, let alone take part in any activities. A few people, however, take part in dangerous activities even though they are more than 100 years old---They keep going and going! There’s a great great grandmother who likes challenging herself although she is 101 years old this year.Mary Hardison believes that people should always be cheerful and more importantly, take on all kinds of adventures（冒险）while they physically still can. So, instead of celebrating her 101st birthday with a boring party, she decided to go paragliding（高崖跳伞运动）----- an idea she got from her 75-year-old son who recently took it up as a hobby.So on her birthday, cheered on by her big family, she tied herself up together with expert instructor（专业指导者）Kevin Hintze, and jumped fearlessly from the skies near her home in Ogden, Utah.

San Diego Zoo will attract the largest number of childrenB. there may be some stories about the island of AtlantisC. tickets during the holidays are more expensiveD. the film Master and Commander can be seen in Maritime Museum of San DiegoCAmericans use many expressions with the word “dog”. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care. However, dogs without owners to care for lead a different kind of life. The expression “to lead a dog’s life” describes a person who has an unhappy life.Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.Still, people say every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We say his bark is worse than his bite.Doghouse provide shelter but they can be cold and lonely in the winter. Husbands and wives use this doghouse when they are angry at each other. For example, a woman might get angry at her husband for coming home late or forgetting their wedding anniversary. She might tell him that he is in the doghouse and treats him badly. However, the husband may decide that it is best to leave things alone and not create more problems. He might decide to let sleeping dogs lie.Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.66. The underlined expression “work like a dog” in Paragraph 2 means ________.A. become successfulB. have an unhappy lifeC. compete for the same thingsD. work very, very hard67. If a man comes home late, his wife might say angrily, “_____________.”A. it will rain cats and dogsB. every dog has its dayC. you lead a dog’s lifeD. you are in the doghouse68. “Leave things untouched” has the same meaning as “__________”.A. lead a dog’s lifeB. teach an old dog new tricksC. let sleeping dogs lieD. make people dog-tired69.

What does the text mainly talk about?A. Expressions in American culture.B. Some expressions with the word dogC. A good way to learn English wellD. Dog’s influence on American cultureDWinter weather has returned to northern areas of the world. In much of the United States, winter means the return of snow.Snow is a form of frozen water. It contains many groups of very small ice particles (颗粒)called snow crystals(晶体). These crystals grow from water particles in cold clouds. They usually grow around a piece of dust. All snow crystals have six sides, but they grow in different shapes. The shape depends mainly on the temperature and water levels in the air. The shape of a snow crystal may change from one form to another as the crystal passes through levels of air with different temperatures. Snow contains much less water than rain. About 75 cm of snow has as much water as 2.5cm of rain.Generally, the color of snow and ice appears white. This is because the light we see from the sun is white. Most natural materials take in some sunlight. However, when light travels from air to snow, some light is sent back, or reflected(反射). Snow crystals have many surfaces to reflect sunlight. It is this light that gives snow its white color.Much of the water we use comes from snow. Melting（融化）snow gives water to rivers and crops. Snowfall helps to protect plants and some wild animals from the cold. Fresh snow is made largely of air which is kept among the snow crystals. Because the air has trouble moving, the movement of heat is greatly reduced. However, snow is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people in the United States every year. Many people die in traffic accidents on roads that are covered with snow or ice.71. In the center of a snow crystal there is ______.A. airB. waterC. dustD. sunlight72.

AWhy is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils (灾祸).People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions (反应) toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachaches.Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites (食欲). Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s eye.Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.51. Muslims regard green as a symbol of heaven mainly because of their .A. cultural valuesB. commercial purposesC. personal experiencesD. physical reactions to the color52. Why will many commercial websites have a red “Buy Now” button?A. To relax people physically.B. To increase people’s appetites.C. To encourage people to buy the goods.D. To cause a person’s blood pressure to rise.53. What color might help lose weight according to the text?A. RedB. Green.C. Blue.D. Purple.54. Which of the following would be the most proper title for the text?A. Colors and Human BeingsB. The Cultural Meaning of ColorC. Colors and Personal ExperiencesD. The Meaning and Function of ColorBHow to Study Smarter, Not HarderHere are some of our favorite study tips that will help any student study smarter, not harder: Recite As You StudyReciting—saying things out loud should first take place as you read through each paragraph or section. Test yourself. This will help you to understand as well as learn faster because it is more active than reading or listening. It will also help you to notice your mistakes and the topics you have trouble understanding.Take Fuller NotesNotes should be in your own words, brief and clear. They should be tidy and easy to read. Writing notes will help you better than just underlining as you read, since it forces you to rewrite ideas in your own words.Study the MiddleThe best time to review is soon after you’ve learned something. You are more likely to remember the material at the beginning and the end of the lesson, so make sure you focus on the middle when you review.Sleep On ItStudy before going to bed, unless you are very tired. It’s easier to remember material you’ve just learned after sleeping than after an equal period of daytime activity, because your brain continues to think even after you’ve fallen asleep.Combine Memory and UnderstandingThere are two ways to remember: by memorizing and by understanding. Multiplication tables, telephone numbers, and math formulas are better learned by rote. Ideas are best learned by understanding.The more ways you have to think about an idea, the more meaning it will have; the more meaningful the learning, the better you can remember it. Pay attention to similarities in ideas and concepts, and then try to understand how they fit in with things you already know. Never be satisfied with anything less than a completely clear understanding of what you are reading. If you are not able to follow the thought, go back to the place where you first got confused and try again.55. You can notice your mistakes by _______.A. saying things out aloudB. taking notesC. studying the middleD. sleeping on it56. When taking notes, you should _______ to better help you with reading.A. underline important notesB. write notes in your own wordsC. take down every detailD. write as quickly as possible57. The writer advises you to _______ as it is easier for you to remember material.A. study after a period of activityB. do some exercise after studyingC. study as soon as you get upD. study before going to sleep58. Which of the following is NOT helpful for your understanding?A. Thinking about an idea in different ways.B. Relating ideas and concepts with what you already know.C. Reading from the beginning to the end without stop.D. Going back to what first made you confused and start again.CAre you having too much salt? You might not think so, but people in China eat on average (平均) about 12 grams of salt each day, that is much higher than the 6 grams suggested by the World Health Organization. You could be eating too much without realizing it, because about 75% of the salt we eat is already in the food we buy, such as bread, sauces, soups and sausages.What problems can eating too much salt cause? To answer that question, first let’s take a look at what salt is.Salt is a chemical compound. It is made of sodium (钠) and chloride (氯化物). Salt is used to keep and flavor foods. A small amount of salt is important for good health because our bodies need sodium and chloride to work.But past studies have found that people who eat more salt than they need tend to have high blood pressure. Eating too much salt has also been connected with other conditions, such as heart and kidney(肾) problems.If you want to cut down on salt, the good news is, there are plenty of simple things to do. Here are some tips:*Cut back on high salt foods.Most foods contain some salt. But some foods such as cheese, bacon, pickles (泡菜), smoked fish and chips are almost always high in salt because of the way they are made. You can still enjoy them, but try to have these in smaller amounts, or eat them less often.*Choose reduced salt bread and breakfast cereals.Bread and breakfast cereals (谷物) are major source of salt in the diet, not that they’re necessarily high in salt but because we eat a lot of them. For these foods, there can be a really big difference between different types and brands. So next time you’re shopping, take the time to compare the salt levels on a few similar products. And always try to choose the ones lower in salt.*Avoid adding salt to cooking and at the table. Instead, you could use herbs and spices (香料) such as garlic (大蒜) and lemon juice to add flavor to meals.59. Many people in China don’t realize they are eating too much salt because ______.A. salty food tasted better than reduced salt foodB. they do not calculate the amount of salt they eatC. about 3/4 of the salt we eat is already in the food we buyD. few people experience problems from eating too much salt60. Which of the following statements about salt is FALSE?A. A small amount of salt is good for the health.B. Salt is used to keep or flavor food only in China.C. Too much salt may cause high blood pressure.D. Salt is a compound of sodium and chloride.61. For a healthier life, the author’s suggestion is to ________.A. cut back on food with limited (有限的) saltB. eat less heavily salted foodC. eat as much reduced salt bread as is wantedD. stop eating bread and breakfast cereals62. What is the purpose of the article?A. To warn people of food containing too much salt.B. To inform people of the right amount of salt taken each day.C. To advise people to be careful about the amount of salt they eat.D. To promote (促进) the right way to make reduced salt food.DWhen I was in seventh grade, I was a candy striper (护士助手) at a local hospital in my town.I volunteered about 30 to 40 hours a week during the summer.Most of the time I spent there was with Mr. Gillespie. He never has any visitors, and nobody seemed to care about his condition. I spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him, helping with anything that needed to be done. He became a close friend of mine, even though he responded with only an occasional squeeze (紧握) of my hand. Mr. Gillespie was in a coma (昏迷).I left for a week for a vacation with my parents, and when I came back, Mr. Gillespie was gone. I didn’t have the courage to ask any of the nurses where he was, for fear they might tell me he had died. So with many questions unanswered, I continued to volunteer there through my eighth-grade year.Several years later, when I was a junior in high school, I was at the gas station when I noticed a familiar face. When I realized who it was, my eyes filled with tears. He was alive! I got up the nerve to ask him if he was Mr. Gillespie, and if he had been in a coma about five years ago. With an uncertain look on his face, he replied yes. I explained how I knew him, and that I had spent many hours talking to him in the hospital. His eyes welled up with tears, and he gave me the warmest hug I had ever received.He began to tell me how, as he lay there comatose(昏睡的), he could hear me talking to him and could feel me holding his hand the whole time. He thought it was an angel, who was there with him. Mr. Gillespie firmly believed that it was my voice and touch that had kept him alive. Then he told me about his life. We exchanged a hug, said our good-byes and went our separate ways.Although I haven’t seen him since, he fills my heart with joy every day. I know that I made a difference between his life and his death. As importantly, he has made a great difference in my life.I will never forget him and what he did for me: He made me an angel.63. When the author volunteered at a local hospital, she .A. mainly helped the nurses with their paper workB. made up her mind to become a nurse herself one dayC. spent most of her time taking care of a man in a comaD. became friends with Mr. Gillespie’s visitors64. The author didn’t ask where Mr. Gillespie had gone because .A. she knew for sure that he had recoveredB. she forgot all about him when she returned to the hospitalC. she had been concerned that he might stay in coma foreverD. she feared that he might have died65. Judging from the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The author continued her volunteer work in the hospital until eighth-grade.B. The author met Mr. Gillespie at a gas station several years later.C. Mr. Gillespie recognized the author’s voice the moment he met her.D.

Those with faith in themselves will succeed.B. If you spread happiness you will be happy yourself.C. Respect people and they will try hard to improve.D. Kindness is loving people more than they deserve.EHonesty comes in many forms. First there’s self-honesty. Is what people see the real article or do you appear through smoke and mirrors? I find that i f I try to be something I’m not, I feel unsure of myself and take out a part from my PBA (personal bank account). I love how singer Judy Garland put it, “Always be a first-class version of yourself, instead of a second-class version of somebody else.”Then there’s honesty in our actions. Are you honest a t school, with your parents, and with your boss? If you’ve ever been dishonest, I th ink we all have, try being honest, and notice how whole it makes you feel. Remember, you can’t do wrong and feel right. This story by Jeff is a good example of that: In my second year of study, there were three kids in my math class who didn’t do well. I was really good at it. I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. I’d write on a little piece of paper al l the right answers, and hand them off.At first I felt like I was making money, kind of a nice job. I wasn’t thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realized I shouldn’t do that anymore, because I wasn’t really helping them. They we ren’t learning anything, and it would only get harder down the road. Cheating certainly wasn’t helping me.It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests, lying to their parents, and stealing at work. But, remember, every act of honesty is a deposit (储蓄) into your PBA and will build strength .67. The underlined part “appear through smoke and mirrors”in the first paragraph means “”.A. to be honestB. to be unrealC. to become clearD. to come from an imagined world68. Which of the following can best explain Judy Garland’s words?A. Be your true self rather than follow others.B. Don’t copy others or you can’t be the first class.C. Make efforts to be the first instead of the second.D. Don’t learn from others unless they’re excellent.69. What does the author expect to show by Jeff’s story?A. honesty can be of great help.B. A bad thing can be turned into a good one.C. Helping others cheat can do good to nobody.D. One should realize the wrong in his bad deeds.70. In the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express .A. one must be brave to be honestB. it’s difficult to be honest when others are notC. one should be honest when making a depositD. honesty in one’s actions can help him in the future阅读理解：51-54 ACCD 55-58 ABDC 59-62 CBBC 63-66 CDBB 67-70 BADD。

中职英语期中模拟考试：阅读理解阅读理解(40分)ASome people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they’ll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It’s a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn’t. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he’s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it’s time for you to change the subject.Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of part ing. If you’re saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again, don’t keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known yo u half their life.56. Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way _______.A. for you to make more and more new friendsB. to begin your business talksC. to get the conversation going smoothlyD. for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others57. After having asked somebody a question, it’ll be polite of you to _______.A. make clear what kind of person he isB. listen to his reply attentivelyC. wait quietly and patiently for his answerD. go on asking him more questions58. Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who _______.A. are good at making any topic interestingB. never talk too much or too littleC. always speak in a gentle wayD. know how and when they should change the topic of the talk59. If you really take delight in meeting someone again, _______.A. you may take him as your lifelong trustworthy friendB. it seems necessary for you to let him know itC. it’s proper for you to give him a second handshakeD. it’ll be helpful for you to have further understanding of h imBHere is a poster on a middle school web site.

Some do very complicated jobs like flying airplanes and driving subway trains. And some do one simple job. When an automatic washing machine is switched on, water pours in. The machine waits until the water is warm enough for washing clothes. It does this by “feedback”(反馈). Information about what is happening isfeedback into the robot to tell what to do next. Our eyes, ears and other senses are our feedback. They tell us what is going on around us. So robots are like human beings in two ways. They work and they have feedback.In some ways robots are better than human beings. They work quickly and do not make mistakes. They do not get bored doing the same job over and over again. And they never get tired. So robots are very useful in factories. They can be taught to do many different jobs. First their electronic brain must be shown how the job is done. A person moves the robot’s “arms” and “hands” through each part of the job.The most intelligent robots can move and see. Their eyes are cameras. Their fingers can feel shapes and sizes of the objects. These robots have computer brains linked to their eyes and fingers, which control their actions. The expensiY: 'Times New Roman'">The most intelligent robots cave robots are used in scientific research. They do such job as handling radioactive materials.64.

The robots used for scientific research _______.A. are not very cleverB. are very cheapC. are very bigD. are very costlyDBoxing was long viewed sickly. Generally forbidden by law in earlier days, the fighting was usually done with bare fists, and matches often lasted forty or fifty rounds.In 1882 John L. Sullivan, a fighter of great power, won the world heavyweight championship from Paddy Ryan in a bare fisted battle marked by hitting, scratching, and biting without any rule. Five years later, while fighting Patsy Cardiff at Minneapolis, Sullivan broke hisright arm in the third round, but he continued fighting to the sixth round and won. In 1889, Sullivan defeated Jade Kilrain with his bare fists in another championship fight, winning twenty thousand dollars and a diamond prize medal. His admirers talked then of running him for the next governor, but he traveled to Australia for a boxing tour instead, coming back only to lose his title in a twenty-one-round match with a young Californian named James J. Corbett. “Gentleman James” victory in this match marked a turning point, for it showed scientific boxing was over strength. But Corbett’s title ended in 1897, when another boxer, Bob Fitzsimmons, in less than three seconds, achieved his feats and then Fitzsimmons knocked out an Irishman, won the heavyweight championship of the world, and invented the terrible “solar plexus punch.”68. Boxing matches in the early days were ________.A. short and bloodyB. usually spare-time competitionsC. governed by strict ruleD. cruel69. Sullivan held the world’s heavyweight title for ________.A. at least seven yearsB. only a yearC. five yearsD. twenty-one years70.

AI grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a big fisherman, and he loved the sea. He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family.When the weather was bad he would drive me to school in his old truck, which was older than he was. As he would drive toward the school, I would shrink down into the seat hoping to disappear. Half the time, he would slam to a stop and the old truck would belch (喷出) a cloud of smoke. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here, I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!I remember the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said, "No, Dad. "It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this surprised look on his face. I said, “Dad, I'm too old for a goodbye kiss." My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear up. Then he turned and said, "You are a big boy, a man. I won't kiss you anymore. "It wasn’t long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back. His boat was found adrift with its nets half in and half out. He must have gotten into a strong wind and was trying to save the nets and the boats.Now how I wish to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek. I wish I had been a man then.

If they could forget their language differences and the differences in customs, they mightbecome strong competition against other countries.In 1958, six of the European countries --- Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, Germany and Italy got together and decided to cooperate. They called their group the European Economic Community, or the Common Market. These countries agreed to join their resources together.Within a few years, the European Economic Community had worked so well that its members were more prosperous than many other European nations. Soon, other nations began to realize the advantage of the Common Market. Today the Common Market includes most of the important countries in Western Europe. It is helping Western Europe to again take its place as a leader among the industrial nations of the world.53.

The purpose of the text is to get more people to .A. do researchB. design shoesC. visit the museumD. follow celebritiesBWhen I was a kid, I always used to wonder how in the world my father work outside in the winter without a coat. It could be minus 20 degrees centigrade and there’d be Dad, removing snow, or perhaps chopping some wood --- his coat thrown aside--- wearing a shirt , a cap, and a pair of gloves.“Aren’t you cold, Dad?” I’d ask. “No,” Dad would reply. “I’m not cold--- working too hardto be cold.”Many times I wondered whether my father was an extremely tough man, or whether he was foolish.One time when I was quite young, perhaps five or so, I went ice fishing with Dad. It was a bright, clear day—and bitterly cold.After we’d been out on the ice for a little while, my feet started getting cold.“Daddy, my feet are cold.” I said.“Yeah, it’s cold out here today,” he replied.“Tell you what,” he said. “Walk around. Make som e circles in the snow. See how many different patterns you can make. That will get your feet warm.”I was just a little girl at the time but I remember thinking, “How in the world will walking around in the snow make my feet warm? Dad must be out of mind.”But he was my father, after all. I made circles in the snow. I made squares. Pretty soon I was having so much fun making patterns in the snow. I forgot about my feet being cold.Now, all these years later, I know, too, from personal experience how my father was able to take his coat off and work outside in the winter wearing just a shirt, a cap and gloves. Because I do it, too. “Aren’t you cold?” my husband asked one winter day. “No,” I replied. “I’m not cold—working too hard to be cold.”I hope my husband has decided I’m both tough and smart. But I guess quite a bit of the time he thinks I’m foolish.Wherever Dad is on that great big farm in the sky—I’m sure he can’t help but smile whenever I take my coat off while I’m working outside in the winter.50．When the author’s feet felt cold, her father advised her to.A．go home alone first B．keep walking in the snowC．draw pictures in the snow D．light a fire on the ice51．Hearing her father’s advice, the author thought her father .A．forgettable B．warm-heartedC．crazy D．cruel52．What might the author’s husband think of her?A．Tough B．Smart C．Brave D．Foolish53．The author’s purpose of w riting this passage is to .A．remember her tough and smart fatherB．show how her father cared about herC．describe memories of her childhoodD．explain why her father loved her so muchCWelcome to your future life!You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035，medical technology is better than ever. Many people your age could live to be 150，so at 40，you're not old at all. And your parents just had an antiaging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now，all three of you look the same age!You say to your shirt，“Turn red.”It changes from blue to red. In 2035，“smart clothes”contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change your clothes' color or pattern.You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk，but a voice says，“You shouldn't drink that！”Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk，and it knowsthe milk is old. In 2035，every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.It's time to go to work. In 2035，cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way，you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.So will all these things come true？“For new technology to succeed，”says scientist Andrew Zolli，“ it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example—what will be the next?54．We can learn from the text that in the future________.A．people will never get oldB．everyone will look the sameC．red will be the most popular colorD．clothes will be able to change their pattern55．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A．Milk will be harmful to health.B．More drinks will be available for sale.C．Food in the grocery store will carry electronic information.D．Milk in the grocery store will stay fresh much longer.56．Which of the following is mentioned in the text?A．Nothing can replace the Internet.B．Fridges will know what people need.C．Jacket sleeves can be used as a guide.D．Cars will be able to drive automatically.57．What is the text mainly about?A．Food and clothing in 2035.B．Future technology in everyday life.C．Medical treatments of the future.D．The reason for the success of new technology.DGoing to outer space is a little like going camping. You have to carry with you all the food and equipment you need for your trip, so your food can’t be too heavy or hard to prepare. Plus, there are no refrigerators to keep food cold and fresh.Food with all the water dried out is lightweight and doesn’t spoil. So, many space foods are dried on Earth and stored in special packets. Some taste good right out of the packet.On earth, gravity(重力) is the force that keeps your feet on the ground and your sandwich on your plate. But there’s no gravity in space. To keep food from floating（漂浮）away, astronauts on the Space Shuttle attach the packets to a special tray. The tray can be fixed to a wall or to the astronaut’s lap. To prepare their food, astronauts use liquid forms of salt and pepper. The liquid sticks to the food better. Regular salt and pepper would float away, maybe up an astronaut’s nose.Liquids float right out of cups and glasses, though. So astronauts drink everything from a small bag with a straw(吸管饮料) that can be closed. Astronauts say that most space foods taste pretty good. Some, such as apples and pudding, are the same as the foods you eat on Earth.Astronauts eat tortillas(玉米粉圆饼) instead of bread because they make fewer crumbs(碎屑). Floating crumbs could get stuck in equipment or an astronaut’s eye.Your body used food in space the same way it does on Earth. Your body must deal with waste in space too. During the landing, astronauts can’t leave their seats to go to the bathroom. They wear diapers(尿布) under their spacesuits instead.The Space Shuttle has a bathroom the size of a small closet. The toilet has bars that keep astronauts from floating away. A strong flow of air is used instead of water to flush(冲洗) wastedown the toilet. Back on Earth it’s flushed away-or sometimes studied by scientists.58. Why do astronauts use liquid forms of salt and pepper to prepare food?A. Liquid doesn’t spoil.B. Liquid is convenient to use in space.C. Liquid is lightweight.D. Astronauts are in great need of water.59. What do astronauts think of space foods?A. Most of them taste pleasant.B. They are mostly fruits.C. Most of them are rather cold.D. They contain too little meat.60. We can infer from the passage that astronauts _______.A. drink from cups and glassesB. always wear diapers in spaceC. can move freely during landingD. must pay attention to the crumbs in space第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分。

第一节：阅读理解（共20小题：每小题2分，满分40分）AAudrey Hepburn (奥黛丽·赫本) won an Academy Award as Best Actress for her first major American movie, Roman Holiday, which was released in 1953. But she is remembered as much for her aid work as for her acting.Born in Belgium in 1929, Audrey’s father was British and her mother was Dutch. Audrey was sent to live at a British school for part of her childhood. During World War II, she lived and studied in the Netherlands. Her mother thought it would be safe from Gerrnan attacks. Audrey studied dance as a teenager and during college when she returned to London after the war. But she realized she wasn’t going to be a ballerina(芭蕾舞女演员). So she began taking acting parts in stage shows. Later she began to get small parts in movies.But it was Audrey Hepburn’s move to America that brought her true fame. In 1951 she played the character “Gigi” in the Broadway play of the same name to great critica1 praise.

Aside from trying to stop the graying of .America's farmers, her work is made tougher by a recent blog posting that put agriculture at No.1 on a list of "useless" college degrees. Top federal agriculture officials are talking about the posting, and it has the attention of agricultural organizations across the country.“There couldn't be anything that's more incorrect," Merrigan said. "We know that there aren't enough qualified graduates to fill the jobs that are out there in American agriculture.In addition, a growing world population that some experts predict will require 70% more food production by 2050, she said.“I truly believe we're at a golde n age of agriculture. Global demand is at an all-time record high, and global supplies are at all-time record lows," said Matt Rush, director of the Texas Farm Bureau. "Production costs are going to be valuable enough that younger people are going to have the opportunity to be involved in agriculture. "The Department of Agriculture has programs aimed at developing more farmers and at increasing interest in locally grown food. The National Young Farmers' Coalition has also been pushing for state and federal policy changes to make it easier for new farmers.Ryan Best, president of Future Fanners of America, has been living out of a suitcase, traveling the country and visiting with high school students about careers in agriculture. The 21 -year-old Best hopes his message-that this is a new time in agriculture-will motivate the next generation to turn around the statistics. Never before have we had the innovations ( 创新) in technology which have led to agriculture in this country being the most efficient it has e ver been,” he said. “there’s really a place for everybody to fit in.”51.

BusinessB. ScienceC. HealthD. EntertainmentCMichael, Rae, Jequita, Alice, Sarah and Phyllis have at least one thing in common: They all love animals so much that they’re driven to volunteer regularly at the Romulus Animal Shelter.The six Romulus-area residents give as much time as they can to perform various tasks at the shelter, help make life more comfortable for the dogs and cats that stay there and do their best to find permanent homes for the stray（流浪）pets.The shelter, at 12300 Wayne Road, opened in June 2011 and operates on money raised in the community. To date, bingos and other fundraising activities have brought in more than ＄177.000，according to community leader William Wadsworth, but a tight budget requires the efforts of volunteers to make ends meet.“Without their help, this building would not be an outstanding place,”Wadsworth said.“Their time and devotion is beyond what I ever expected. And I thank them all.”The volunteers work at the direction of two animal control officers, Annie Hall and Kim Ratcliff, who spend much of their day patrolling（巡逻）the city and housing stray dogs and cats. The two, both with 32 years of experience, count on the public to be the eyes and cares of the shelter. They are also responsible for addressing complaints and taking care of the shelter.That’s where the volunteers come in. They take photos of the animals and post them on Facebook and other websites for adoption. They clean cages, play with the animals, feed and bathe the pets and take the dogs for walks. They pick up supplies and even clean the restrooms.“We couldn’t do it without them,” said Ratcliff. “They come in and go right to work. We depend on them a lot. They help run the place,” added Hall.56.What is the purpose of this text?A. To raise enough money for the stray pets.B. To advertise for the Romulus Animal Shelter.C.

That’s because some studies have shown that rewards can backfire and cause children to lose interest in foods they already liked, said Jane Wardle, a researcher at University College London who worked on the study. Verbal praise, such as “Brilliant! You’re a great vegetable taster”, did not work as well.The study found that when parents gave their small children a sticker each time they took a “tiny taste” of a disliked vegetable, it gradually changed their attitudes. The children were also willing to eat more of the vegetables—either carrots, celery, cucumber, red pepper, cabbage or sugar snap peas—in laboratory taste tests, the study said.Researchers randomly assigned (分派) 173 families to one of these groups. In one, parents used stickers to reward their children each time they took a tiny sample of a disliked vegetable. A second group of parents used verbal praise. The third group, where Parents used no special vegetable-promoting methods, served as a “control”.Parents in the reward groups offered their children a taste of the “target” vegetable every day for 12 days. Soon after, children in the sticker group were giving higher ratings to the vegetables—and were willing to eat more in the research lab, going from an average of 5 grams at the start to about 10 grams after the 12-day experience. The turnaround(转机) also seemed to last, with preschoolers in the sticker group still willing to eat more of the once-disliked vegetable three months later.Why didn’t the verbal praise work? Wardle said the parents’ words may haveseemed “insincere” to their children.61. The purpose of writing the passage is .A. to introduce a practical method of making children eat vegetablesB. to show the procedure of an experiment on children’s dietC. to explain why children hate to eat vegetablesD. to present a proper way of verbal praise to parents62. The underlined word “backfire” in Paragraph 2probably means “_______”.A. shoot from behind the backB. make a fire in the backyardC. produce an unexpected resultD. achieve what was planned63. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Most children are born to dislike carrots or celery.B. It remains a question whether rewarding is a good way to get children to eat vegetables.C. Oral praise works quite well in encouraging children to eat vegetables.D. Children in the sticker group will never lose interest in eating vegetables.64. How did the researchers get their conclusion from the experiment?A. By comparison.B. By asking questions.C. By giving examples.D. By discussion.65. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Children like rewards, not verbal praise.B. Parents should praise their children in a sincere tone.C. Children are difficult to inspire.D. Parents should give up verbal praise.第二节：对话填空（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，选项中有两项为多余选项。
