He was the grandson of slaves. He began working on the family farm when he was four. When he was twelve, he worked 25 a nearby farm to help feed his parents and four younger brothers and sisters. For the next eighty-five years, he held a number of different jobs, most of them involving hard labor.George Dawson lived a happy life 26 ______ conditions were difficult. When he was ten years old, he saw a young African-American man 27 (murder). He would have told people about it, but he said his 28 (big) problem was his inability to read and write.George Dawson kept it a secret that he could not read. But he said he always dreamed that he would learn. Although he had no education, he taught his children 29 (work) hard in school.George Dawson’s life changed in 1996. A man came to his house in Texas, and told him that adult education classes were being taught at a nearby school. So the man who 30 (sign) his name with an “X” for almost one-hundred years went to school.People wondered 31 Mr. Dawson did not go to school earlier. He said he never had the time because of his farm work. And he never knew about adult education programs.George Dawson did all he 32 to learn to read, which influenced students of all ages. He spoke to young people about the importance of learning to read and write.(B)Americans and Arabs are different 33 it comes to their space habits. Arabs would rather have close contact.

In talking with Americans who had lived overseas, he found that many of 35 had been highly uncomfortable 36 ______ culture differences. Such discomfort is usually referred to as culture shock.The problem is that, relatively speaking, Americans live in 37 noncontact culture. Partly, this is a product of our puritan heritage (清教徒文化遗产). Dr. Hall points out that we spend years 38 (teach) our children not to crowd in and lean on us. And in situations 39 we ourselves are forced to stand close to another person on crowded subways, for example, we turn our eyes away, and if actual body contact 40 (involve), tense the muscles on the contact side. Most of us feel very strongly that this is the only proper way to behave.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.With only about 1,000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save the endangered species. That’s a move similar to what a Texas A&M University researchers have 41 for the past five years in a project called “Noah’s Ark.”Noah’s Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos (胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become 42 , Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A&M’s College of V eterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to 43 the species in the future.It is estimated that as many as 2,000 species of mammals, birds, reptiles will face extinction in over 100 years. The panda, 44 only to China, is in danger of extinction in the next 25 years.This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to 45 the embryo into a host animal.The entire 46 could take from three to five years to complete.“The nuclear transfer of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem,”Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnanc y (怀孕). It takes a long time and it’s difficult, but this could be47 science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is48 the effort,”adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the project at Texas A&M, thefirst-ever 49 at cloning a dog.“They are trying to do something that’s never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah’s Ark. We’re both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly 50 their effort and there’s a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. It’s a research that is very much needed.”III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.It can be hard to decide which food to buy in an American grocery store these days. The information on many products makes 51 claims.The label “organic (有机的)”52 that the United States Department of Agriculture recognized the product was grown under special conditions. The department says foods that meet requirements of it National Organic Programme can use an official label. It shows the words “USDA Organic”inside a(n) 53 . USDA organic food does not contain genes that have been 54 changed. The food is grown without chemical treatment against insects or diseases. It is grown without chemical fertilizers. Before a product can be 55 “organic,” a(n) 56 visits the farm where the food is produced to make sure the farm meets USDA standards. Organic meat, poultry, eggs and dairy products come from animals that are given no antibiotics (抗生素), must be fed organic food and have 57 to the outdoors.No conclusive 58 shows that organic food is more nutritious than traditionally grown food. And the USDA—even if it proves organic food—doesn’t claim that these products are safer or more nutritious. Organic foods meet the same quality and safety standards as traditional foods. The difference 59 how the food is produced, processed and handled. Some people buy organic food for 60 reasons. Organic food is produced by farmers who 61 the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance quality for future generations.

Higher prices are due to more expensive farming practices and tighter government regulations.The new USDA’s national organic programme for labeling are aimed at enabling consumers to make a(n) 63 choice among the foods they purchase and also include the safeguard of fines for 64 . People who sell or label a product “organic”when they know it does not meet USDA standards can be 65 up to $11,000 for each violation.51. A. unbelievable B. familiar C. different D. flexible52.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Indian’s snake charmers are to be retrained as wildlife teachers under a plan to prevent their unique skills and knowledge from being lost. The charmers, who make snakes dance to the sound of flutes (笛子), used to be a traditional feature of Indian life, performing in towns and villages, until they were banned in 1972 to control the trade in snake skins.The government is now considering a plan to train the saperas, as they are known, to visit schools and zoos to tell children about forests and wildlife. There is also a proposal to set up a “dial a snake charmer” service to help householders to deal with unwelcome intruders.“For generations they have been a feature of Indian life but now they can’t earn a living for fear of arrest,” said Behar Dutt, a conservationist behind the plans, “if a policeman doesn’t catch them, animal rights activists report them.”Many snake charmers have continued to work clandestinely since the ban, despite the threat of up to three years in jail. But their trademark cloth-covered baskets, hung from a bamboo pole carried across their shoulders, make them an easy target for police.The fate of Shisha Nath, 56, from Badarpur, a village just outside of Delhi, is typical of practitioners (从业者) of the dying art. “I used to earn enough to support my family and send my children to school,” he said. “Now it’s hard to earn even £1 a day. My children want to be snake charmers. It’s our identity. We love the work. But it’s become impossible.”Next month Dutt’s project to train 30 snake charmers will begin at a snake park in Pune, western India, where experts will enrich their home-grown skills with some formal knowledge.More than the law, though, it is the dishonest attitude of their fellow countrymen that angers many snake charmers.“We’re disturbed all the time but when people want a snake removed from the house, they rush to us,”said Prakash Nath, who was ordered recently to the home of Sonia Gandhi, the Congress party leader.66. Snake charmers will be retrained as wildlife teachers mainly because ______.A. schools need large numbers of such teachersB. most of them cannot support their familiesC. their performances on the street are bannedD. the government plans to save the dying art67. The purpose of the proposed “dial a snake charmer” telephone service is ______.A. to give performance of snake dancingB. to teach householders how to catch and kill snakesC. to offer cleaning service to wealthy householdersD. to help remove unwanted snakes from the houses68. The word “clandestinely” in paragraph 4 can be best replaced by the word “_____”.A. secretlyB. publiclyC. subconsciouslyD. diligently69. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Snake charmers can easily be recognized by the police on the street.B. Children of snake charmers would not like to continue their fathers’ job.C. Snake charmers are quite angry with the attitude of their fellow countrymen.D. The animal rights activists take a negative attitude towards snake charmers.(B)We have designed all our bank cards to make your life easier.How to use your NatWest ServicecardAs a Switch card, it lets you pay for all sorts of goods and services, wherever you see the Switch logo.

You’re nervous. Who are these people? How do you start a conversation? Fortunately, you’ve got a thing that sends out energy at tiny chips in everyone’s name tag. The chips send back names, jobs, hobbies, and the time available for meeting-whatever. Making new friends becomes simple.This hasn’t quite happened in real life. But the world is already experiencing a revolution using RFID technology.An RFID tag with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product, under your pet’s skin, even under your own skin. Passive RFID tags have no energy source-batteries because they do not need it. The energy comes from the reader, a scanning device, that sends out energy (for example, radio waves) that starts up the tag immediately.Such a tag carries information specific to that object, and the data can be updated. Already, RFID technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport. Doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate and obtain a patient’smedical records. At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip gets you into the VIP (very important person) section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm.Take a step back: 10 or 12 years ago, you would have heard about the coming age of computing. One example always seemed to surface: Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk. The concept was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make ordinary life simpler.RFID tags are a small part of this phenomenon. “The world is going to be a loosely coupled set of individual small devices, connected wirelessly,” predicts Dr. J. Reich. Human right supporters are nervous about the possibilities of such technology. It goes too far tracking school kids through RFID tags, they say. We imagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it. And how many beers. Accompanied by how many biscuits.When Marconi invented radio, he thought it would be used for ship-to-shore communication, not for pop music. Who knows how RFID and related technologies will be used in the future. Here’s a wild guess: Not for buying milk.74. The article is intended to .A. warn people of the possible risks in adopting RFID technologyB. explain the benefits brought about by RFID technologyC. convince people of the uses of RFID technologyD. predict the applications of RFID technology75. We know from the passage that with the help of RFID tags, people .A. will have no trouble getting data about othersB. will have more energy for conversationC. will have more time to make friendsD. won’t feel shy at parties any longer76. Why are some people worried about RFID technology?A. Because children will be tracked by strangers.B. Because market competition will become more fierce.C. Because their private lives will be greatly affected.D. Because customers will be forced to buy more products.77. The last paragraph implies that RFID technology .A. will not be used for such matters as buying milkB. will be widely used, including for buying milkC. will be limited to communication usesD. will probably be used for pop musicSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Too much eating. Too many unhealthy foods. Too many advertisements for food. Too little activity. Different explanations are offered for America’s weight problem — a problem increasingly shared by other countries. Almost one-fifth of American children and teenagers are overweight.Schools have been urged to increase physical education, an important tool for public health. And many have. Yet now comes a study showing an increase in the number of injuries in “phys ed”class. Injuries increased one hundred fifty percent between nineteen ninety-seven and two thousand seven.The study involved injuries treated in hospital emergency departments. Only two percent were serious.The researchers did not try to identify the causes of the increase, but they have some theories. Lara McKenzie from Ohio State University was the lead researcher. She says one possibility is a decrease in the number of school nurses during the period they studied. For example, a two thousand four study showed that the number of school nurses nationally failed to meet federal guidelines. Schools without a nurse on duty may be more likely to send an injured child to a hospital.Another possible reason for more injuries is a change in the traditional idea of physical education. This “New P.E.”expands the kinds of sports that are taught. But activities that some schools offer now, like rock climbing and skateboarding, can also expand the risks, says Cheryl Richardson. She is with the National Association for Sport and Physical Education.Also, she says not all states require P.E. teachers to be specially trained. Untrained teachers could be less likely to recognize unsafe conditions.Cheryl Richardson also points to one of the study’s findings — that injuries are often the result of contact with a person or a structure. This tells her that the teachers were not giving each student enough space to move around safely.Six activities produced seventy percent of all injuries: running, basketball, football, volleyball, soccer and gymnastics.The researchers say larger class sizes are another possible reason for the increase in injuries. Larger classes can mean less supervision. The National Association for Sport and Physical Education says twenty to thirty students in a P.E. class should be the limit.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)78. Many schools deal with the problem that more children are overweight by .79. What’s the result of expanding the kinds of sports taught in school?80. P.E. teachers without special training are more likely to .81. After reading the passage, could you give at least two suggestions to an American school on howto reduce injuries in “phys ed” classes?第 II 卷 (共47分)I.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Indian 's snake charmers are to be retrained as wildlif e teachers under a plan to prevent their unique skills and knowledge from being lost. The charmers, who make snakes dance to the sound of flutes （笛子）, used to be a traditional feature of Indian life, performing in towns and villages, untilthey were banned in 1972 to control the trade in snake skins.The government is now considering a plan to train the saperas , as they are known, to visit schools and zoos to tell children about forests and wildlife. There is also a proposal to set up a “dial a snake charmer” service to help householders to deal with unwelcome intruders.“For generations they have been a feature of Indian life but now they can 'tearn a living for fear of arrest, ” said Behar Dutt, a conservationist behind the plans, “if a policeman doesn't catch them, animal rights activists report them. ”Many snake charmers have continued to work clandestinely since the ban, despite the threat of up to three years in jail. But their trademark cloth-covered baskets, hung from a bamboo pole carried across their shoulders, make them an easy target for police.The fate of Shisha Nath, 56, from Badarpur, a village just outside of Delhi, is typical of practitioners （从业者） of the dying art. “I used to earn enough tosupport my family and send my children to school, ” he said. “Now it 's hard to earn even £ 1 a day. My children want to be snake charmers. It ' s our identity. Welove the work. But it 's become impossible. ”Next month Dutt 's project to train 30 snake charmers will begin at a snake park in Pune, western India, where experts will enrich their home-grown skills with some formal knowledge.More than the law, though, it is the dishonest attitude of their fellow countrymen that angers many snake charmers“We' re disturbed all the time but when people want a snake removed from the house, they rush to us, ” said Prakash Nath, who was ordered recently to the home of Sonia Gandhi, the Congress party leader.66. Snake charmers will be retrained as wildlife teachers mainly because ____ .A. schools need large numbers of such teachersB. most of them cannot support their familiesC. their performances on the street are bannedD. the government plans to save the dying art67.

Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Snake charmers can easily be recognized by the police on the street.B.

You ' re nervous. Who are these people? Howdo you start a conversation? Fortunately, you' ve got a thing that sends out energy at tiny ch ips in everyone ' s name tag. The chips send back name s, jobs, hobbies, and the time available for meeting-whatever. Making new friends becomes simple.This hasn' t quite happened in real life. But the world is already experiencing a revolution using RFID technology.An RFID tag with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product, under your pet' s skin, even under your own skin. Passive RFID tags have no energy source-batteries because they do not need it. The energy comes from the reader, a scanning device, that sends out energy (for example, radio waves) that starts up the tag immediately.Such a tag carries information specific to that object, and the data can be updated. Already, RFID technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on theroad and it might appear in your passport. Doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate and obtain a patient ' s medical records. At a nightclubin Paris or in New York the same chip gets you into the VIP (very important person) section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm.Take a step back: 10 or 12 years ago, you would have heard about the coming age of computing. One example always seemed to surface: Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk. The concept was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make ordinary life simpler.RFID tags are a small part of this phenomenon. “The world is going to be a loosely coupled set of individual small devices, connected wirelessly, ” pr edicts Dr. J.Reich. Humanright supporters are nervous about the possibilities of such technology. It goes too far tracking school kids through RFID tags, they say. Weimagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you dra nk it. And how many beers. Accompa nied by how many biscuits.When Marconi inven ted radio, he thought it would be used for ship-to-shorecom muni catio n, not for pop music. Whok nows how RFID and related tech no logies willbe used in the future. Here ' s a wild guess: Not for buying milk.74.

Why are some people worried about RFID tech no logy?A. Because childre n will be tracked by stra ngers.B. Because market competiti on will become more fierce.C. Because their private lives will be greatly affected.D. Because customers will be forced to buy more products.77. The last paragraph implies that RFID tech no logy . _________A. will not be used for such matters as buying milkB. will be widely used, in cludi ng for buying milkC. will be limited to com muni cati on usesD. will probably be used for pop musicSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully.

That is __54__ you.A research paper, assigned in a course and perhaps checked at __55__ stages by an instructor, leads you beyond classrooms, beyond the texts for classes and into a(n) __56__ where the joy of discovery and learning can come to you many times. Preparing the research paper is an active and individual process, and __57__ learning process. It provides a structure within which you can make exciting discoveries, of knowledge and of self, that are basic to education. But the research paper also gives you a chance to individualize a school assignment, to __58__ a piece of work to your own interests and abilities, to show others what you can do.

Therefore Section BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)PEOPLE NOBLE SMUGGLERThis Thursday, Irena Sendler will be honoured for her work asa smuggler（偷运者）. During World WarⅡ, the Polish social workersmuggled nearly2,500 Jewish children out of the Warsaw ghetto（聚居区）. She gave them new identities, found them safe places withgood-hearted Christians, and kept the children’s real names buriedin jars in her neighbours’gardens.（The play, Life in a Jar, basedon her story, is being performed.）At 93, Sendler lives in a Warsawnursing home and is too weak to travel to Washington D.C., to receive the 2003 Jan Karski Award for Valorand Compassion from the American Center of Polish Culture. One of the children she saved will accept the award for her.You risked your life to save the children.I was taught by my father that when someone is drowning, you don’t ask if they can swim，you just jump in and help. During the war, everyone was drowning, but mostly the Jewish children.How did you persuade parents to give up their children？I had to answer honestly that I didn’t even know if we would get past the guards. What was the most frightening moment？When I saw a priest（牧师）in charge of an orphan age for Jewish children in the ghetto walk with them out to be killed. The children were in then best Sunday suits. The priest was killed with them.How did you get the children to behave as you smuggled them out？I told the older children to act as if they were sick and sometimes gave the younger ones a sleeping pill. They were told to remember their new names. I also told the children to tell guards they had only been visiting a servant in the ghetto and were going back to their real homes outside.Did you tell your own two children what you did？I never told them. Only when my daughter went to Israel did she learn all about me. I thought it was only normal to do so. And it was a very painful subject. It was always on my mind that I couldn’t do more.——Samantha Levine66. We can learn from the passage that Irena Sendler ________.A. will go to Washington to accept the award with her daughterB. was caught a few times while she was rescuing the Jewish childrenC. told those parents that their children's lives would be guaranteedD. saved thousands of Jewish children at the risk of her ownlife67.

(C) In Japan many workers for large corporations have a guarantee of lifetime employment. They will not be laid off during recessions (经济萧条) or when the tasks they perform are taken over by robots. To some observes, this is capitalism at its best, because workers are treated as people not things. Others see it as necessarily inefficient and believe it cannot continue if Japan is to remain competitive with foreign corporations more concerned about profits and less concerned about people. Defenders of the system argue that those who call it inefficient donot understand how it really works. In the first place not every Japanese worker has the guarantee of a lifetime job. The l ifetime employment system includes only “regular employees”. Many employees do not fall into this category, including all women. All businesses have many part-time and temporary employees. These workers are hired and laid off during the course of the business cycle just as employees in the United States are. These “irregular workers” make up about 10 percent of the nonagricultural work force. Additionally, Japanese firms maintain some flexibility through the extensive use of subcontractors (分包单位). This practice is much more common in Japan than in the United States.The use of both subcontractors and temporary workers has increased markedly in Japan since the 1974-1975 recession. All this leads some to argue that the Japanese system is not all that different from the American system. During recessions Japanese corporations lay off temporary workers and give less business to subcontractors. In the United States, corporations lay off those workers with the least seniority (资LIPITOR atorvastatin calcium tablets WHO IS LIPITOR FOR?Who can take LIPITOR: ? People who cannot lower their cholesterol (胆固醇) enough with diet and exercise ? Adults and children over 10 Who should NOT take LIPITOR: ? Women who are pregnant, may be pregnant, or may become pregnant. LIPITOR may harm your unborn baby. If you become pregnant, stop LIPITOR and call your doctor right away HOW TO TAKE LIPITOR Do: ? Take LIPITOR at any time of day, with or without food ? If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. But if it has been more than 12 hours since your missed dose, wait. Take the next dose at your regular time Don’t: ? Do not change or stop your dose before talking to your doctor POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS OF LIPITORSerious side effects in a small number of people: ? Muscle problems that can lead to kidney problems, including kidney failure. Your chance for muscle problems is higher if you take certain other medicines with LIPITOR ? Liver problems. Your doctor may do blood tests to check your liver before you start LIPITOR and while you are taking it Call your doctor right away if you have: ? Unexplained muscle weakness or pain, especially if you have a fever or feel very tired ? Allergic reactions including swelling (肿胀) of the face, lips, tongue, and/or throat that may cause difficulty in breathing or swallowing which may require treatment right away NEED MORE INFORMATION? ? Ask your doctor or health care provider It was a horrible feeling; I was having a heart attack. Now I ’m exercising, watching my diet, and trust my heart to Lipitor历). The difference then is probably less than the term “lifetime employment”suggests, but there still is a difference. And this difference cannot be understood without looking at the values of Japanese society. The relationship between employer and employee cannot be explained in purely contractual(合同的) terms. Firms hold on to the employees and employees stay with one firm. There are also practical reasons for not jumping from job to job. Most retirement benefits come from the employer. Changing jobs means losing these benefits. Also, teamwork is an essential part of Japanese production. Moving to a new firm means adapting to a different team and at least temporarily, lower productivity and lower pay.74. According to the passage, a woman in Japan _______.A. cannot get a lifetime jobB. is impossible to get a part time jobC. will be employed for lifeD. is among the regular workers75. Which of the following is NOT the reason why Japanese workers stay with one firm?A. they don’t want to lose their retirement benefits.B. they are not adaptable people.C. any change of jobs will make them less paid.D. they get used to the teamwork.76. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. those who want to change jobs frequently in Japan should think twiceB. those who are first laid off by American corporations are temporary workersC. the use of subcontractors makes Japanese firms less flexibleD. the Japanese system is totally different from the American system77. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The extremely hard situation during recessions.B. The extensive use of subcontractors in Japan.C. The characteristics of corporations in the United States.D. The features of lifetime employment in Japan.Section CDirections: Read the following passage and then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.All of us rely on what we see. We say to ourselves，“I know，I was there; I saw it happen”and that seems to settle the matter. Or does it? Can we really trust the evidence of our eyes?Take competitive sports. Fans who see the same game will not agree with each other and will the disagree with the referee（裁判）.“He was out of bounds when he caught the pass，”says one fan. Says another，“You are crazy. I saw it with my own eyes. He was five feet in bounds. You must be blind.”The referee rules that the receiver did step out of bounds. But thousands of fans are still not convinced—because they were there!It's the same story in the courtroom. Trial(审判) procedure depends on witnesses giving sworn testimony(证词). But just how reliable is the testimony of a person who reports what he has seen? In a recent study，ten thousand witnesses were askedto describe the man they saw commit a crime. The study reveals that ，on the average，the witnesses overestimated the man s height by five inches，his age by eight years，and gave the wrong hair colour in83percent of the cases. These witnesses didn’t play tricks on them!What can we do to keep error to a minimum? First of all, don’t let your emotions interfere with your vision. Don’t see something because you want to see it. Secondly，try to stay relaxed. If you are tense，you are likely to see red when the colour is blue. And finally，it helps to make notes of what you see. Don’t rely on your memory alone. Take pictures，make recordings，and use any other aid to reduce distortion（歪曲）.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)78. The reason why fans disagree with each other at sports events is that few of them ___________.79. The word “them” in Para. 3 refers to _________________.80. What are the other two solutions to keeping visual error to minimum besides notletting your emotions interfere with your vision?81. It can be inferred from the passage that the author takes sports events andcourtroom as examples in order to illustrate ____________?第II卷（共47分）I.

It wasn't easy for Zoe’s hard-working single mother to make ends meet. They moved in and out of homeless shelters.Everything changed for Zoe in grade nine. At that time, she heard about a sewing(缝纫) class at her school. She signed up and couldn't wait to turn her designs into clothes. The color of the first dress she made was white-black strips. Soon the clothes she wore were all made by her. Other girls at school loved her designs too. They asked her if they could buy dresses from her. Zoe sold her first dress for $13. Unfortunately, it cost her $25 to make the dress. ―I had the creativity in designs," says Zoe. ―But I really had no idea about business.‖Zoe kept selling the clothes she designed. Her business was booming, and even the girls who had ever teased her became her customers. In the eleventh grade, Zoe took a business class. She learned how to price her clothes so that she could be sure to make a fair profit.Her business teacher suggested she take part in a contest for teenaged entrepreneurs (企业家). The contest was for teens from all over the United States. Zoe sent in her business plan, which explained how she planned to make her pany grow. She won the second prize in the end. Zoe ’s success became a news item. Supermodel Tyra Banks heard about it and she invited Zoe to take part in her TV show. ―Being recognized I felt really unreal,‖says Zoe.

SPEAR & JACKSON TROWEL73. The underlined word workhorse is closest in meaning with ______.A. makerB. laborerC. speakerD. digger(C)American researchers found females are the more talkative sex because of a special ―language protein‖ in the brain.The study, conducted by neuroscientists(神经学家) and psychologist from the University of Maryland, concluded that women talked more because they had more of the Foxp2 protein. The research, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, found that higher levels were found among humans that were women but in rats that were males. Their findings came after it was previously claimed that ladies speak about 20,000 words a day – over 13,000 more than men. "This study is one of the first to report a sex difference in the expression of a language-associated protein in humans or animals,‖ said Prof Margaret McCarthy, who led the study. In their study, the researchers attempted to determine what might make male rats more vocal than their female friends.They separated four-day-old rats from their mothers and then counted the number of times they cried out in the ―ultrasonic range‖, the frequencies higher than humans can hear, over five minutes. While both sexes called out hundreds of cries, the males called out twice as often, they found. But when the pups were returned to their mother’s cage, she fussed over her sons first. Tests conducted on the parts of the brain known to be associated with vocalcalls showed the male pups have up to twice as much Foxp2 protein as the females. The researchers then increased the production in the brains of female pups and reduced it in males. This led to the female rats crying out more often and their mothers showing more interest to them. In contrast, males became less―talkative‖.The researchers then tested samples from ten children, aged between three and five, which showed that females had up to 30 per cent more of the Foxp2 protein than males, in a brain area key to language in humans.―Based on our observations, we assume higher levels of Foxp2 in girls and higher levels of Foxp2 in male rats is an indication that Foxp2 protein levels are associated with the more municative sex,‖ said Prof McCarthy."Our results imply Foxp2 as a ponent of the neurobiological basis of sex differences in vocal munication in mammals."74. From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.A. women always speak more words than menB. men and male rats have low levels of language proteinC. women and male rats have similar levels of Foxp2D. McCarthy isn’t the first to find females more talkative75. The underlined phrase ―fussed over‖ in the third paragraph probably means______.A. paid attention toB. related toC. put pressure onD. counted on76. The researchers carried out the experiments on rats in order to _______.A. test which part of the brain is key to language in rats and humansB. prove the levels of Foxp2 protein in humans and rats are differentC. determine the reason why female rats are more talkative than male ratsD. discover the association between Foxp2protein and vocal munication77. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Tests on humans and ratsB. Why women are the talkative sexC. Sex differences in Foxp2 proteinD. Foxp2 protein determines oral abilitySection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Throughout this long, tense election, everyone has focused on the presidential candidates and how they' 11 change America. Rightly so. But selfishly. I' m more fascinated by Michelle Obama and what she might be able to do, not just for this country, but for me as an African-American woman. As the potential First Lady, she would have the world' s attention. And that means that for the first time people will have a chance to get up close and personal with the type of African-American woman they so rarely see.Usually, the lives of black women go largely unexamined. The prevailing theory seems to be that we' re all hot-tempered single mothers who can' t keep a man. Even in the world of make-believe, black women still can' t escape the stereotype of being eye-rolling, oversexed females raised by our never-married, alcoholic （酗酒的）mothers.These images have helped define the way all black women are viewed, including Michelle Obama. Before she ever gets the chance to commit to a cause, charity or foundation as First Lady, her most urgent and perhaps most complicated duty may be simple to be herself.It won't be easy. Because few mainstream publications have done in-depth features on regular African-American women, little is known about who we are, what we think and what we face on a regular basis. For better or worse, Michelle will represent us all.Just as she will have her critics, she will also have millions of fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady. Many African-American blogs have written about what they' d like to see Michelle bring to the White House——mainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family. Michelle will have to work to please everyone——an impossible task. But for many African-American women like me, just a little of her poise（沉着）. Confidence and intelligence will go a long way in changing an image that' s been around for far too long. (No more than 10 words)78. Why dose Michelle Obama hold a strong fascination for the author？79. What is the common stereotype of African-American women according to the author？80. What does the author say about Michelle Obama as a First Lady？81. What do many African-American women hope Michelle Obama will do？第II卷(共45分)I.

虹口区2014届高三5月模拟考试（三模） 语文 （满分150分，考试时间150分钟） 一 阅读（80分） （一）阅读下文，完成1-6题。

（17分） ①“我是谁？我从哪里来？我往何处去？”这一连串的自我追问是长存于每个人心中永恒的哲学命题。

家谱，为此提供了有效的线索。

家谱是一个家族的生命史，是同宗共族的血缘集团用来记载本族世系事迹的历史典籍。

它□□记录着该家族的来源、迁徙的轨迹，□□包罗了该家族生息、繁衍、婚姻、文化、族规等历史文化的全过程。

②第一部家谱是什么样子？修撰于何朝何代？是官修还是私修？因为缺乏记载，至今不得而知。

据考证，家谱的起源至少可以追溯到先秦时代。

家谱是中国特有的文化遗产，是中国宗法制度的体现。

上古，尤其是实行分封制的朝代，如西周，统治者的儿子们谁能封王、袭爵，一排家谱便一目了然。

到魏晋南北朝时，门阀制度盛行，家谱成了世族间婚姻和仕宦的主要依据，于是便迅速发展起来。

隋唐五代后，修谱之风更从官方流行到民间，以至遍及各个家族，出现了家家有谱牒、户户有家乘的现象。

③中国古代是宗族社会，家族关系是一个人最核心的社会关系，是一个人的“根”，关系到一个人的身份认同感，而这种认同感的体现就是在家谱中占有一个位置。

修宗谱与建宗祠、置族田、立族长、订族规等共同组成的宗族制度，形成了当时社会最基础的民间自治体系。

家谱不仅把同宗凝聚在一起，而且在一定程度上建构了中国古代的道德文明，其所记载的孝敬父母、和睦乡邻、端肃风俗、重视耕读等族规正是中国文化最为重视的，这一点与外国由宗教来构建社会价值体系有根本区别。

④参天之木，必有其根；怀山之水，必有其源。

百姓家族有着丰富的家族故事，这些细微生动的家族史与个人生命史共同编织着中国历史的长卷。

平民化的寻根意识，正以不可小觑的力量，从精英阶层走进千万普通家庭。

She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself. “What I mean is (26) __________ you have a job.” explained the recorder.“Of course I have a job,” replied Emily. “I’m a mother.”“We don’t list ‘mother’ (27) __________ an occupation … ‘Housewife’covers it,”said the recorder.I forgot all about her story (28) __________ one day I found myself in the same situation at Town Hall. The clerk was obviously a career woman. “What is your occupation?” she asked.Child Development and Human Relation.”The clerk paused and looked up (29) __________ __________she hadn’t heard right.“Might I ask,” said the clerk, “what do you do in your field?”Coolly, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research, in the laboratory and in the field. Normally, I would have said indoors and out. I’m working for my Master, the whole family, and already have four credits. Of course, the job is one of the (30) __________ (demanding) in the humanities, and I often work 14 hours a day, but the job is more challenging and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up and personally showed me to the door.As I drove into our driveway, I was greeted by my lab assistant. Upstairs I could hear my new experimental model, a six-month-old baby, in the child-development program, (31) __________ (test) out a new vocal pattern.I felt proud! Motherhood … What a glorious career!(B)Once upon a time, a boy was walking through a large woods (32) __________ he found a big blackboard hanging on an old tree trunk. It came complete with a box of chalk pieces, and bright sparks were flying from the tips of every piece of chalk. The boy took a piece of chalk and started to draw on the blackboard: first a tree, then a rabbit, and then a flower …Magically, whenever he finished a figure, it came to life and jumped out of the blackboard.Before long, the place became a wonderfully green and fertile forest, full of animals playing happily.(33)__________ (excite), the boy also drew his parents and brothers and sisters enjoying a picnic, with their sandwiches and cold meats. He also drew the paper plates and the empty tins of sardines（沙丁鱼）left on the ground, (34) __________ always happened on their picnics. But when these bits of litter came to life, (35)__________ awful happened: around every paper plate and every empty tin, the forest turned grey, and this greyness started spreading quickly everywhere: to the grass, to the flowers, to the animals … The boy realized the litter was (36) __________ (blame) for all the greyness, so he ran through the forest with the blackboard rubber in his hand to rub it out wherever it (37) __________ (land).He was quick and lucky, and didn’t leave a single piece of litter. The forest and its animals managed to recover, and they played together for the rest of the day.The boy never again saw that blackboard, but now, every time he goes to the countryside with his family, he (38) __________ remember that adventure and is the first (39) __________ (pick) up any litter. And he is sure to remind the others that anything (40) __________ (leave) in the woods can do more damage to the environment than they ever would have expected.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.body? It’s true as long as it is pure, alkaline（碱性的）water. Yet most water is acidic. Water that __41__ less than 7 on the PH scale is acidic. Water that is higher than 7 is alkaline. To support life, water needs to be on the alkaline side of the range, much like our bodies.Drinking pure, alkaline water is important to great health. I believe that most of the disease __42__ people in the Western world couldn’t occur in a PH-balanced body.Most tap water is highly acidic due to the __43__ of various chemicals. Don’t assume that bottled water is __44__ a better choice than tap water. Most bottled water is of __45__ quality and largely made up of tap water plus the off-gassing of chemicals from the plastic in which it is stored. Most bottled water is extremely acidic, making it harmful to your health and the health of the planet, too.Water filtration（过滤）is a necessary part of our modern life. There are many water filtration systems that get rid of some of the harmful chemicals, but few systems that also __46__ the PH of water to increase its healing powers. Every company __47__ that its systems are the best. I’ve spent some time trying to find affordable water filtration systems.Every cell in your body depends on enough water to ensure proper __48__. It’s important to drink between 12 and 20 cups of alkaline water each day. Every person has individual needs but if you are smaller than __49__ and in excellent health, your water needs will obviously be lower than someone who is fat and in poor health. As your health problems improve and you lose any extra weight, you can reduce your water __50__ to 12 cups each day.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Many of us have characteristics that are inherited from our families. Maybe we have our father’s eyes or our grandmother’s hair color – __51__ features that result from the genes we inherit. But there are other elements of our personalities such as behaviors and viewpoints that we pick up by __52__ our parents. Perhaps we have picked up our mother’s love of cleaning or our dad’s sense of humor. Now, researchers at the University of Michigan believe there may be a specific viewpoint we can thank our parents for: the way we __53__ work.The researchers referred to previous studies that identified three main ways of viewing work.First, there are job-oriented (以求职为目的的)people, those who __54__ to see their job as simply a way to make money. They __55__ to clocking out（打卡下班）every day and pursuing fun activities __56__ the office. If you have a job-oriented father, you may view work this way. __57__, if you grew up close to your mother you probably will not hold this viewpoint. One possible __58__ cited by the study: Youngsters that grow up close to their mothers are less likely to view work as just a job.Second, there are career-oriented（追求事业型的）people who see their job as a place to find __59__ and gain a sense of __60__. These are the people who don’t __61__ working overtime. In fact, some people love their jobs so much that they become workaholics! They are more comfortable in the office than at home. According to the study, being close to a career- oriented father while growing up means there’s a good chance you’ll share his perspective. Oddly, having a mother with this viewpoint seems to have little __62__.Third, there are calling-oriented workers – folks who view their job as a way to make a (n) __63__ impact upon the world. They are more __64__ with improving the world around them than earning a large salary. In the study, those who expressed a strong calling (天职)orientation came from homes where both parents were calling-oriented. This suggests that adolescents need the support of both parents in order to have the confidence to put __65__ first and career success second.The good news is – we still have choice. Whether we share our parents’ views of work or not, we can still find a career that suits us.51. A. medical B. physical C. biological D. mental52. A. stimulating B. neglecting C. implying D. modeling53. A. view B. think C. evaluate D. comment54. A. attempt B. manage C. tend D. offer55.

A. personal ideals B. economic profitsC. professional achievementsD. global developmentSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I’m afraid we have to accept the fact that criminals are getting younger all the time, but unfortunately the crimes are becoming more serious. I only wish we didn’t have to admit this but, in doing so, we must first ask ourselves what’s wrong with our so ciety, or else our children clearly couldn’t care less about law and order.The days of the sneak thief who stole a couple of apples or a packet of sweets from a chain store are actually over. I had a chance to say this to a young offender the other day, “Sweets from a chain store?” He said, “You must be joking. That’s what kids do.” I may add that he was aged 11. In other words, today’s young criminals would find it laughable to risk being caught for petty theft of this description. They’ve got enough mon ey in their pockets to buy the sweets they want, anyway. I think it’s all too easy to put the blame on anyone but ourselves.Faced as they are with a society that frequently gives them up on the grounds of color, race or low learning ability, these children turn to crime as a means of showing off their self-respect. Nurtured on films and TV glamorizing (美化) the role of the criminal, they are quick to copy these anti-heroes. It is a matter of increasing concern to the police and government that the Children and Young Persons Act, 1969, is becoming improper to deal with the rise in young criminals. Because the emphasis has been placed on the cause and gentle treatment of their crimes, rather than on old-fashioned methods of punishment, the children themselves know well that there is very little that can be done to prevent them continuing to steal, damage and in some case even cause the death of those they choose to terrorize (恐吓). I don’t like the look of this situation any more than you do. In our own interests and in those of our children and grandchildren, we cannot continue to take the “it’s nothing to do with me” attitude we have used for so long. We must unite in a common demand for harder and stricter methods against these young criminals.66. By raising the question “Sweets from the chain store?”, the writer was asking the boywhether _ _______.A. he wanted some sweets from a chain storeB. stealing sweets from a chain store was illegalC. he was caught while stealing from a chain storeD. the days of stealing sweets from a chain store were over67. Psychologically speaking, the reason why some youngsters commit crimes is that _______.A. they want to take revenge on societyB. they think it a way of showing their self-respectC. they are good at imitating the criminals in the filmsD. they don’t know what they are doing is against the law68. In dealing with young criminals, the writer is obviously in favor of _______.A. severe punishment once used in the pastB. showing great concern about our childrenC. more patient methods in educating young criminalsD. treating every young criminal as our own child69. In the writer’s opinion, who should be blamed most?A. TV and films.B. Young criminals.C. Police.D. Society.(B)South WestCommunity Development Council70. The programme was introduced by _____.A. SEED InstituteB. Nannies @ South WestC. South West CDCD. Geneagles Medical Center71. Most of the nannies _____.A. specialize in medicineB. can speak more than two languagesC. have no passion for taking care of the oldD. have had special training about health and nutrition.72. The main aim of this advertisement is to _____.A. match parents to qualified nanniesB. encourage parents to hire nanniesC. attract potential nannies to have trainingD. provide assistance to parents who need nannies73. Which of the following is true?A. South West CDC was established two years ago.B. Parents can get a list of nannies by calling or emailing.C. The cost of child care service is suggested by South West CDC.D. Parents can complain to South West CDC about their nanny ’s unsatisfactory service.(C)The British psychoanalyst JohnBowlby maintains that separation from the parents during the sensitive "attachment" period from birth to three may scar a child's personality and lead to emotional problems in later life. Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlby's work that children should not be subjected to day care before the age of three because of the parental separation it causes, and many people do believe this. But there are also arguments against such a strong conclusion.Firstly, anthropologists point out that the insulated love affair between children and parents found in modern societies does not usually exist in traditional societies. For example, in some tribal societies, such as the Ngoni, the father and mother of a child did not bring up their infant alone - far from it. Secondly, common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread today if parents, care-takers found children had problems with it. Statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out, and even if they were, the results would be certain to be complicated and controversial.Thirdly, in the last decade, there have been a number of careful American studies of children in day care, and they have uniformly reported that day care had a neutral or slightly positive effect on children's development. But tests that have had to be used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue.But Bowlby's analysis raises the possibility that early day care has delayed effects. The possibility that such care might lead to, say, more mental illness or crime 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statistics. Whatever the long-term effects, parents sometimes find the immediate effects difficult to deal with. Children under three are likely to protest at leaving their parents and show unhappiness. At the age of three or three and a half almost all children find the transition to nursery easy, and this is undoubtedly why more and more parents make use of child care at this time. The matter, then, is far from clear-cut, though experience and available evidence indicate that early care is reasonable for infants.74. The passage primarily argues whether ______.A. day care should be widely spreadB. the family relationship is different in traditional societiesC. children under three should be sent to nursery schoolsD. children over three will stop crying when leaving parents75. The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph most probably means ______.A. children’s being subjected to day careB. the conclusion from Bowlby's workC. the sensitive "attachment" periodD. a child's personality76. Which of the following statements is NOT against Bowlby's theory?A. Day care is safe, otherwise there wouldn't be so many nursery schools.B. Parents find the immediate effects of early day care difficult to deal with.C. Many studies show that day care has a positive effect on children's development.D. Separation from parent for very young children is common in some traditional societies77. The writer's attitude towards early day care is that ______.A. children under three should stay with their parentsB. the effects of early day care on children are exaggeratedC. early day care has positive effects on children's developmentD. the issue is controversial and its settlement calls for the use of statisticsSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Driving in traffic can be extremely stressful. Pedestrians appear out of nowhere, cars suddenly pull out of parking spots, and roads become slippery due to rain or snow. Knowing when to brake and when to accelerate in such situations is hard enough for a human driver, letalone a robotic one. But several carmakers – and a few tech companies – are working to convince drivers to let driverless cars take the wheel.Without question, the most anticipated benefit of driverless cars is improved safety. Driverless systems will feature sensors that detect safety threats that human drivers might miss. Many carmakers already offer systems that alert drivers whenever they get dangerously close to other cars.Also, driverless systems have the benefit of increased efficiency. Driverless cars won’t waste as much gas as human drivers do, and guided by advanced GPS, they’ll always take the fastest route. Once driverless cars become widely available, common people can have their own driver, and they’ll just sit back and relax while their car’s computer takes the wheel!Although completely driverless cars won’t be on the market for several years, the technology behind them is already appearing in phases. Two examples are the Active Lane Keeping Assist option for Mercedes-Benz cars and Ford’s Traffic Jam Assist. In the first option, the system warns the driver whenever the car crosses lane markings by causing the steering wheel to vibrate（振动）. In the second option, the system helps the car keep pace with other cars while remaining in its current lane. The system is being developed to help relieve blocking on busy roads.Several carmakers claim that they’ll produce driverless cars within the next decade. But critics aren’t so sure, warning that a completely driverless car must be able to make split-second decisions in even the most complex traffic situations. In addition, the car’s computer must become smart enough to know when to ask the driver to intervene (介入，干涉) to prevent an accident.Full government approval won’t happen until driverless cars are proven safe. In the meantime, expect to see carmakers offer ever-smarter features on their new models.
