Among all the fast growing science and technology, the resea rch of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it , is drawing more and more attention now. sometimes it is a h ot topic discussed by people.The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure seri ous diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing wi th, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctor s have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gen e technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be c ured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to t he patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits th e economy as well. In addition, human life span(寿命)can be prolonged.Gene technology can help to give birth to healthy and clever c hildren. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary(遗传的)diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In th e past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. B ut gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scie ntist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it , and a he althy child will be born.Some people are worrying that the gene research can be use d to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep. The refore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in v ery normal way. Of course, the government must take care to control gene technology.What does “these two killers” in the second paragraph refer to ?Gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases.

Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of ge ne technology.What is the main purpose of writing this passage? Expressing the writer's idea that gene technology will benefit people.Telling people the disadvantages of gene technology.Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit peopl e.Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the huma nity.语篇解读这篇文章比较容易读懂,主要告诉我们有关基因工程方面的问题。

I believe that my country, Poland, is a perfect example for a pl ace where food is particularly important. When we were little c hildren, we began to understand how much a loaf of bread me ant to our parents—to some it might sound silly but for me the custom of kissing b read before you started cutting it was simply amazing. It's not so common nowadays to treat food that way, since you hardly ever bake your own bread. Besides, everyone would call you crazy if you tried to kiss every bread roll before you ate them! But though we no longer make our food from scratch (起点), some customs have been kept--that's why I feel so sorry every time I have to throw any food a way—even though I no longer live with my parents and nobody woul d blame me for this anymore!Many people of our nation are still working as farmers, eating what they grow and harvest and therefore enjoying everything more. It's widely known that you value more anything that ne eds your effort in the first place. In most homes in Poland, especially those of farmers, the whole family would try and have t heir meals together--extremely difficult now, but so rewarding (值得) ! You can share other members' troubles and successes, give your children some attention, or just sit down for a mome nt instead of rushing through life aimlessly. Furthermore, your body, and stomach in particular will be very grateful (感激) for such a time!In Poland, a wedding, Christmas or even a birthday is celebra ted with a great meal. Women in the house get together and c ook, sometimes for a few days before the event, and the extre mely good or unusual food will be remembered and widely tal ked about.You cannot over-value the importance of food in the country. What's more, alm ost everyone in Poland will be as interested in the topic as I a m.1. When the writer was a child, he / she ________.A. found people were crazy about breadB. began to realize the importance of foodC. thought that cutting bread was amazingD. learned people hardly baked their own bread2. The writer feels very sorry when he/she has to throw away any food becauseA. he/she makes food from scratchB. his/her parents would blame him/herC. some customs still have effect on him/herD. many people are still working hard as farmers3.

(2014·威海高考模拟)A dentist’s of fice m ay not be everyone’s idea of a perfect holiday destination.But a growing number of Europeans are travelling abroad for medical treatment to save money,or maybe to combine a visit to the doctor with some sightseeing,creating a potential but fastgrowing market for traditional tour operators.“It was si mply cheaper for me to go to a dentist in Hungary,” said a 42yearold physical therapist from Berlin.He chose the clinic near Budapest from an Internet advertisement,attracted by hundreds of euros in savings compared with the same treatment in Germany.He was happy to find when he got there that the clinic was clean,the staff qualified and the work thorough.People travel abroad for medical treatment for various reasons:it’s cheaper,they face a long wait at home,or the treatment they want is not available in their own country.The Britishbased Medical Tourist Company refers about 100 patients a year to hospitals in India for treatments.And Chief Executive Premhar Shah reports rapid growth in demand from customers in Africa,where it can be harder to find wellequipped medical facilities for complex surgeries.Some patients who have immigrated may prefer to return to be close to their families when they undergo surgery.“People will want to take the opportunity to seek treatment in places where they have relatives who might be able to look after them.I’m seeing that especially with younger people from eastern Europe,” sai d a professor at the University of Oxford.For some,there is the attraction of free treatment abroad.British lawmakers have called for tighter checks on patients arriving for treatment,out of concerns that foreign citizens are travelling to Britain to take advantage of the free service.The global medical tourism market is believed to be worth $40 billion to $60 billion and growing at about 20 percent per year.1.The 42yearold physical therapist was satisfied with________in Hungary.A.the price instead of the serviceB.the service instead of the priceC.both the price and the serviceD.neither the price nor the service2.How many reasons are mentioned to explain why people go abroad for medical treatment?A.Four.

Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most pe ople. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get o ut of high school.It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been t he case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual Americ an activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and re ad poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at the ti me, nor movie theaters, nor World Wide Web, to provide diver sion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyon d one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as we ll as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than ind ividual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poet ry has a place in everyday life.How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer c omfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think th at a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems?There are, I believe, three culprits(肇事者):poets, teachers, and we ourselves. Of these, the least importa nt is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed u s more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentiet h century, poetry in English headed into directions unfavorabl e to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, that they belonge d where other difficult-to-read things belonged.Poets failed the reader, so did teachers. They want their stud ents to know something about the skills of a poem, they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what u sually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their hig h school students is that young people decide poems are unpl easant crossword puzzles.1. Reading poems is thought to be a social act in the nineteen th century because .A. it built a link among peopleB. it helped unite a communityC. it was a source of self-educationD. it was a source of pleasure2. The underlined word “diversion”(in Paragraph 2) most prob ably means “”.A. concentrationB. changeC. amusementsD. stories3. According to the passage, what is the main cause of the gr eat gap between readers and poetry?A. Students are becoming less interested in poetry.B. Students are poorly educated in high school.C. TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry.D. Poems have become difficult to understand.4. In the last paragraph, the writer questions .A. the difficulty in studying poemsB. the way poems are t aught in schoolC. students’ wrong ideas about poetryD. the techniques used in writing poems1、答案解析:答案为A。

AIt is obvious that doctors recognize obesity as a health problem. So why is it so hard for them to talk to their patients about it?The results of two surveys, one of primary care physicians and the other of patients, found that while most doctors want to helppatients lose weight and think it is their responsibility to do so, they often don’t know what to say.“So while doctors may tell patients they are overweight, the convers ation often ends there,” said Christine C. Ferguson, director of the Stop Obesity Alliance. “Patients are not told about the possibility of diabetes (a kind of disease),” she said. “And doctors don’t feel they have good information to give. They felt that they didn’t have adequate tools to address this problem.The lack of dialogue hurts patients, too. The patient survey, of over 1,000 adults, found that most overweight patients don’t even know that they’re too heavy. Only 39 percent of overweight people surveyed had ever been told by a health care provider that they were overweight.Of those who were told they were obese, 90 percent were alsotold by their doctors to lose weight, the survey found. In fact most have tried to lose weight and may have been successful in the past—and many are still trying, the survey found. And many understand that losing even a small amount of weight can have a positive impact on their health and reduce their risk of obesityrelated diseases like hypertension and diabetes.Dr. William Bestermann Jr., medical director of Holston Medical Group, in Kingsport, Tenn. , which ranks the 10th in obesity among metropolitan areas in the United States, said the dialogue had to be anongoing one and could not be dropped after just one mention of the problem. “If you’re to be successful with helping your patients lose weight, you have to talk to them at actually every visit about their progress, and find something to encourage them and coach them,” he said.He acknowledged that many doctors tend to be not optimistic.“Part of this is that there's this common belief, and doctors are burdened by it, too, that overweight people are weak-willed and just don’t have any willpower and are selfindulgent and all that business,” he said. “If you think that way, you’re not going to spend time having a productive conversation.”1. What is the Stop Obesity Alliance most probably in Paragraph 3?A. An organization of doctors specializing in obesity.B. An organization of patients suffering from obesity.C. A research group that conducts special surveys about overweight people.D. A research group dealing with doctor-patient relationship.2. How many of the patients surveyed have been advised by their doctors to lose weight?A. About 350.B. About 390.C. About 900.D. About 1,000.3. What can be inferred about obesity patients in Paragraph 5?A. They are not as hopeless as doctors think they are.B. Most of them have tried hard to lose weight, but in vain.C. Without their doct ors’ constant coaching, there is little chance of their succeeding in losing weight.D. Most of them have just given up their hope of becoming less heavy.4. According to the passage, which factor contributes to the lack of dialogue between doctors and patients?A. Most doctors just never think of warning their patients about their weight problem.B. Many doctors find it difficult to persuade overweight people to lose weight.C. Most patients are too weak-willed to do anything about their weight.D. Many patients tend not to trust their doctors about their weight problem.5. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Obesity in the U. S.B. Trouble of overweight Americans.C. Talk more, help better.D. Doctors or patients-who to bear more blame?BThe cultural and natural values of Kakadu National Park were recognized internationally when the Park was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This is an international register of properties that are recognized as having outstanding cultural or natural values of international significance. Kakadu is the largest national park in Australia and is the second largest national park in the world. Kakaduis a biological wonderland, which is almost 8,000 square miles. The wildlife in Kakadu National Park includes over 280 kinds of birds, 60 kinds of native mammals, 55 kinds of freshwater fish, thousands of insects, and many reptiles, the most famous of which is the salt-water crocodile. All life in the park depends on water.Kakadu is not only home to the wildlife but the area is also famous for the longest continuous human culture that exists in the world. Aborigines have been living in this area for at least 40,000 years. The descendants(后裔) of these First Australians still live in Kakadu today. Kakadu contains one of the longest continuous records of rock art in the world, with around 5,000 paintings, with rock sites dating back 25,000 years. More than 1,000 sites have been recorded. Kakadu has been given double World Heritage status by the United Nations. It is one of only 17 of the 469 World heritage Areas listed for both natural and cultural values.It is Australia’s largest national park, but it isn’t just the size that surprises visitors—it is the sense of something very old and grand. Creation of the 500 km escarpment (悬崖) began 2,000 million years ago. Today those gorges are filled with rainforests, washed by waterfalls.Kakadu is one of the world’s special places. It is hard to pick the ideal time to visit Kakadu. In the wet season large areas of the park are closed to the public. It would not be possible to enter or exit from the park through the Kakadu Highway. Most of the people there agree that the best time to visit is at the end of the dry season. Some areas of Kakadu have restricted visiting times, and some are not open to the general public. Over 230 000 tourists visit Kakadu National Park every year. As you enter Kakadu National Park, you will be required to buy a permit. Part of this money is paid to the Traditional Owners of the land and the rest is given to the repairs of the park.6. Why does the author mention so much wildlife in Paragraph 1?A. To represent the scene of the nature.B. To attract readers’ attention.C. To take the wildlife for example.D. To show the value of the park.7. Kakadu is given double World Heritage status by the United Nations because of _____.A. the descendants of these First Australians still in Kakadu todayB. the particular environment and the unusual rock artC. the longest continuous human culture that exists in the worldD. Aborigines living in this area for at least 40,000 years8. The followings are mentioned in the passage except _____.A. living things in KakaduB. the escarpment and the gorgesC. the history of the parkD. the weather of the area9. The underlined word gorges in Paragraph 3 means _____.A. narrow valleys between hills or mountainsB. buildings where cases are determinedC. large and open structures for sports eventsD. places where something is located10. What does the author advise visitors to do when they go to Kakadu?A. To get more information about the special place.B. To make a better choice between the wet and dry season.C. Not to enter the national park without permission.D. Not to go there through the Kakadu Highway.C(London)—If it really is what’s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.Some doctors now think that the internal fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturallystore fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes. They want to prove that internal fat damages the body’s communication systems.The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no short cut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said.11. What is this piece of news mainly about?A. Thin people may be fat inside.B. Internal fat is of no importance.C. Internal fat leads to many diseases.D. Thin people also have troubles.12. Doctors have found _____.A. the exact dangers of internal fatB. internal fat is the cause of heart disease and diabetesC. being slim is not dangerous at allD. being slim doesn’t mean you are not fat inside13. According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?A. Exercise can help to reduce the internal fat.B. People can get rid of internal fat by improving diet.C. Men are more likely to have too much internal fat.D. People with heart disease all have internal fat.14. From the last paragraph, we can find that _____.A. whether internal fat can lead to disease has been provedB. exercise plays in important role in people’s life for keeping healthyC. thin people usually have internal fat even if they are slimD. it is easier to burn off internal fat than external fat15. The underlined part in the last paragraph means _____.A. a long roadB. an easy wayC. a clear differenceD. a short distanceDFor years, there has been a bias(偏见)against science among clinical psychologists. In a two-year analysis to be published in November in Perspectives on Psychological Science, psychologists led by Timothy B. Baker of the University of Wisconsin charge that manyclinical psychologists fail to “provide the treatments for which there is the strongest evidence of effectiveness” and “give more weight to thei r personal experiences than to science.” As a result, patients have no guarantee that their “treatment will be informed by …science.” Walter Mischel of Columbia University is even crueler in his judgment. “The disconnect between what clinical psychologists do and what science has discovered is an extreme embarrassment,” he told me, and “there is a widening gap between clinical practice and science.”The “widening” reflects the great progress that psychological research has made in identifying the most effective treatments. Thanks to strict clinical trials, we now know that teaching patients to think about their thoughts in new, healthier ways and to act on those new ways of thinking are effective against depression, panic disorder and other problems, with multiple trials showing that these treatments—the tools of psychology—bring more lasting benefits than drugs.You wouldn’t know this if you sought help from a typicalclinical psychologist. Although many treatments are effective,relatively few psychologists learn or practice them.Why in the world not? For one thing, says Baker, clinical psychologists are “very doubtful about the role of science” and “lack solid science training”. Also, one third of patients get better no matter what treatment (if any) they have, “and psychologists rememberthese successes, believing, wrongly, that they are the result of the treatment.”When faced with evidence that treatments they offer are not supported by science, clinical psychologists argue that they know better than some study that works. A 2008 study of 591 psychologists in private practice found that they rely more on their own and colleagues’ experience than on science when deciding how to treat a patient. If they keep on this path as insurance companies demand evidence-based medicine, warns Mischel, psychology will “discredit itself.”16. Many clinical psychologists fail to provide the most effective treatments because _____.A. they are unfamiliar with their patientsB. they believe in science and evidenceC. they depend on their colleagues’ helpD. they rely on their personal experiences17. The widening gap between clinical practice and science is due to _____.A. the cruel judgment by Walter MischelB. the fact that most patients get better after being treatedC. the great progress that has been made in psychological researchD. the fact that patients prefer to take drugs rather than have other treatments18. How do clinical psychologists respond when charged thattheir treatments are not supported by science?A. They feel embarrassed.B. They try to defend themselves.C. They are disappointed.D. They doubt their treatments.19. In Mischel’s opinion, psychology will ______.A. destroy its own reputation if no improvement is madeB. develop faster with the support of insurance companiesC. work together with insurance companies to provide better treatmentD. become more reliable if insurance companies won’t demand evidence-based medicine20. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To show the writer’s disapproval of clinical psychologists.B. To inform the readers of the risks of psychological treatments.C. To explain the effectiveness of treatments by clinical psychologists.D. To introduce the latest progress of medical treatment in clinical psychology.参考答案1—5 BAABC 6—10 DBCAB11—15 ADDBB 16—20 DCBAA。

Food sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things. A person who eats such food can get an illness called food poisoning. F ood poisoning is usually not serious, but some types are dead ly. The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food.Fever is one of the most common symptoms.Certain microorganisms(微生物)cause most types of food poisoning. Bacteria and other mi croorganisms can poison eggs, meat, vegetables, and many other foods. After entering the body, these tiny living things rel ease(释放)poisons that make people sick.Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. They are oft en added to food while it is being grown, processed, or prepar ed.For example, many farmers spray chemicals on crops to ki ll weeds and insects. Some people may have a bad reaction t o those chemicals when they eat the crops.Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are har mful to people. These include certain kinds of seafood, grains,nuts, seeds, beans, and mushrooms.When people handle food properly, the risk of food poisoning i s very small. Microorganisms multiply rapidly in dirty places a nd in warm temperatures. This means that people should nev er touch food with dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfac es.Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganis ms from growing. Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms.People should also wash foo d covered with chemicals before eating it. Finally, people sho uld not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wil d.Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans. In addition, some types of fish can be p oisonous.Most people recover from food poisoning after a few days of r esting and drinking extra water. If people eat natural poisons, they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied.1.

Teachers say the digital age has had a good influence----- and a not-so-good influence----on this generation of American teenagers. More than 2000 teachers took an online survey. Three-quarters of the te achers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a “ mostly positive” effect on their students’ research habits and skills. But 64 percent said the technologies “ do more to distract (使分心) students than to help them academically.” And 87 percent agreed that these technologies are creating an “ easily distracted generation with short attention spans.”The Pew Internet Project did the survey with the National Writing Project. Judy Buchanan is the vice director of the National Writing Project and a co-author of the report. Ms. Buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more and faster. “ Teachers really favor these tools because they are ways to make some of the learning exciting and engaging. Young people favor these tools. The goal is to really help them become creators of meaningful content, and not just sort of consumers.”But one problem the survey found is that many students lack digital literacy. They trust too much of the information they find on the Internet. Judy says these students haven’t developed the skills to determine the quality of online information. “ It’s something that really has to be taught and paid attention to, because in a world in which things happen quickly, you do need to step back, reflect and a nalyze the information you have.”Another problem is blamed on something that might not seem like a problem at all: being able to quickly find information online. Teachers say the result is a reduction in the desire and ability of their students to work hard to find answers. They say students are overly dependent on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research libraries.Many teachers are also concerned that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others instead of using their own abilities.1. The text mainly tells us ____________.A. digital tools bring about benefits and problemsB. the Internet is playing a key roleC. teachers encourage using digital toolsD. all the students use digital tools2. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?A. ○1 B ○1 C ○1 D ○1○2○3○4○5○2○3○4○5○2○3○4○5○2○3○4○5(○1=Para 1, ○2= Para 2, ○3=Para 3, ○4= Para 4, ○5=Para 5)3. The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means _________.A. students do not have the right digital toolsB. students do not always have access to the InternetC. students can’t judge online information properlyD. students haven’t the ability to adjust themselves4. Some students don’t tend to work hard because ___________.A. they can copy other s’ work without being punishedB. printed books and libraries around aren’t enoughC. the Internet can’t make students concentrateD. they can get answer on the Internet quickly参考答案1—4 ACCD【2014模拟】阅读理解。

People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviour are formed. It is not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive.Social scientists are of course extremely interested in these types of questions. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviour. There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from each other, and there is a great deal of debate between proponents of each theory. The controversy(争论) is often conveniently referred to as “nature and nurture”.Those who sup port the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behaviour patterns are largely determined by biological factors. That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics and behaviour is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory states that our behaviour is predetermined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts (本能).Proponents of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviourists, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. A behaviourist, B.F. Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behaviour is almost completely shaped by their surroundings. The behaviourists’ view of the human being is quite mechanistic. They state that, like machines, humans respond to environmental stimuli (刺激) as the basis of their behaviour. Socially and politically, the consequences of these two theories are far-reaching. In the US, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests. This leads some “nature” proponents to c onclude that blacks are genetically lower in status than whites. Behaviourists, on the contrary, say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often robbed of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same responses that whites do.Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behaviour. In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behaviour lies somewhere between these two extremes and that the controversy will continue for a long time is certain.1. This passage is mainly concerned with ___________.A. relation between personality and behaviourB. relation between behaviour and environmentC. different accounts of patterns of human behaviourD. different theories of the formation of human personality and behaviour.2. The underlined word “proponents” in Paragraph 2 means __________.A. teachersB. advisorsC. advocatesD. judges3. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To call our attention to the changes of human behaviour.B. To urge scientists to do more research in social science.C. To give us a detailed explanation of human behaviour.D. To present an argument in the field of social science.参考答案1—3 DCD【2014模拟】阅读理解。

When several people look at the same person, it is not unusual for each of them to see different things; when you are alone observing one behavior or a person at two different times, you may see different things. The followings are but some of the factors that lead to these varying perceptions(感知,认识):(1) Each per son’s pe rceptions of others are formed by his or her own cultural conditioning, education, and personal experiences.(2) Sometimes perceptions differ because of what we choose to observe and how we deal with what’ve observed. It is not necessarily true that person perception is based on observations of a particular person. Your observations may be totally controlled by what others have told you about this person; or you may focus primarily on the situation or role relationship. Most people do not use the same standard to measure their parents, their friends, and strangers.(3) Sometimes we se e only what we want to see or don’t see what may be obvious to others because of our own needs, desires, or temporary emotional states. This is a process known as selective perception. Selective perception is obviously more difficult when contradictoryinformation is particularly obvious, but it can be done. We can ignore the stimulus——“He’s basically a good boy so what I saw was not shoplifting(入店行窃).” We can reduce the importance of the contradictory information ——“All kids get into mischief(顽皮). Taking a book from a bookstore isn’t such a big deal.” We can change the meaning of the contradictory information--- “It wasn’t shoplifting because he was going to pay for it later.”…【小题1】The first factor given by the author that affects our perception is _____.A. our hearing and visual abilitiesB. cultural background and personal experiencesC. the experience one learns from othersD. critical measures taken by other people【小题2】While observing a particular person,________.A. one is likely to take all aspects into considerationB. one pays more attention to his/her advantagesC. children often differ from grown-ups in perceptionD. one tends to choose certain aspects to look at【小题3】Observation of the same person by two people at the same time may differ because _____.A. they follow different standardsB. either of them may be slow to catch informationC. the time for observation is not long enoughD. each of them uses different language to express his/her impressions【小题4】The underlined word “stimulus” in Paragraph 4 refers to _____.A. something attractiveB. selective perceptionC. contradictory informationD. shoplifting【小题5】The worst thing in selective perception is that ______.A. the information received runs against your desireB. facts can be twisted or totally ignoredC. importance of the contradictory information can be overrated (估计过高)D. misbehaved children may not be punished【答案】【小题1】B【小题2】D【小题3】A【小题4】C【小题5】B【解析】【广东省东莞市2014模拟试题】BGoing green is something that affects every single one of us. Whether by recycling those plastic water bottles, or by cutting down on electricity in your home, the importance of going green on a personal level is extremely important. But, when you’re a millionaire NBA basketball star, how do you help out the environment?Yao Ming is a basketball player that plays for the Houston Rockets and has spoken out against hunting of sharks for fins, a delicious food in his native China. He is also the United Nations’Environmental champion. His goal is to raise awareness of climate change and energy-saving. “I will work with young people across the world and try to inspire them to plant trees, harvest rainwater and to become environmental champions in their own communities.”The Philadelphia Eagles, a professional American football team, are really doing their part to give back to the community. The Eagles Go Green page has a “Green Energy Calculator”and according to the web site fans have saved $ 73,674.90 a year and saved 666,320 pounds of CO2per year. Also, the Eagles have set up a “Stop global warming virtual march(虚拟游行)on Washington”, a march across America for one year, through the Internet with a goal to bring fans together and to urge leaders to deal with the serious problem of global warming now.Bob Burnquist, a Brazilian skateboarder, is a member of Action Sports Environmental Coalition and founder of a program that gets organic foods and farming into schools for healthy lunch programs.

Buildings would rotate(旋转)so they could follow the sun to take maximum advantage of its light and heat. Walls would “give light” and “change color with the push of a button.” Food would be replaced by pills. School would be taught by electrical impulse(电脉冲)while we sleep. Cars would have radar(雷达). Does this sound like the year 2000? Actually, this article was written in 1958 and the question was, “what will life be like in 1978?The future is much too important to simply guess about, the way the high school students did, so experts are regularly asked to predict accuately. By carefully studying the present, skilled businessmen, scientists, and politicians are supposedly able to figure out in advance what will happen. But can they? One expert on Cities wrote: Cities of the future would not be crowded, but would have space for farms and fields. People would travel to work in “airbuses”, largeall-weather helicopters carrying up to 200 passengers. When a person left the airbus station hecould drive a coin-operated car equipped with radar. The radar equipment of cars would make traffic accidents “almost unheard of”. Does that sound familiar? If the expert had been accurate it would, because he was writing in 1957. His subject was “The city of 1982”.If the professionals sometimes sound like high school students, it’s probably because future study is still a new field. But economic forecasting, or predicting what the economy will do, has been around for a long time. It should be accuate, and generally it is. But there have been some big mistakes in the field, too. In early 1929, most forecasters saw an excellent future for the stock market. In October of that year, the stock market had its worst losses ever, ruining thousands of investors who had put their faith in financial foreseers.One forecaster knew that predictions about the future would always be subject to significant error. In 1957, H.J. Rand of the Rad corporation was asked about the year 2000, “Only one thing is certain,” he answered. “Children born today will have reached the age of 43.”36. How many examples does the author offer to describe the future life?A. ThreeB. FourC. FiveD. Six37. The high school students’ answers to “What would life be like in 1978?” sound __________.A. accurateB. imaginativeC. correctD. foolish38. In the second paragraph, the writer gives examples to show _________.A. predicting about the future can be done in a humorous wayB. no predictions are based on careful researchC. experts are always better than others in figuring out what the future will be likeD. forecasting the future is not an easy job even for experts in this field39. From the third paragraph we can learn that _________.A. economy forecasting is rather a new fieldB. experts began economy forecasting in 1929C. the predictions about economic situation caused the investors to lose lots of moneyD. good, accurate forecasting helped the stock market overcome the difficulties40. H.J.Rand’s prediction about the year 2000 shows that ________.A. it is easy to figure out in advance what will happenB. it is difficult to figure out in advance what will happenC. only professionals can figure out in advance what will happenD. very few professionals figure out in advance what will happen【参考答案】36—40 BBDCB。
