Although September's job 36 was stronger than most economists were expecting, it is still not growing fast enough for the millions of Americans 37 for work.In many U.S. cities, frustration over the scarcity〔供不应求〕 of jobs is spilling out into the streets in the 38 of protests, like the "Jobs Not Cuts" rally in Washington.Many, including rapper Godfrey James, say lawmakers are not doing enough to help 39 Americans.Experts say hiring is likely to remain weak for the remainder of the year as companies wait for the economy to 40In New York, where the "Occupy Wall Street" movement appears to be gaining momentum〔势头〕, activists say the richest one percent own most of the country's wealth."I feel like the middle class has been almost completely 41 now. Now, you have got the bottom class and the top class," said one protester.42 , about 14 million Americans are unemployed, nearly 40 percent have been out of work for more than six months.President Barack Obama, who is running for re-election next year, is pressuring Congress to pass a $450 billion job creation plan. Republicans, who see the economy as the 43 weakness, have blocked many of his initiatives〔提案〕 and are 44 to approve the package of tax cuts and public spending.But small business owner Dave Finnegan says Americans need to remind politicians who's 45 in charge."This is how things get done," said Finnegan. "That building, the Capitol building is only a place where they vote on stuff, it's not a place where things originate. Things 46 with people in the street. This is a democracy and it has to start here."While better than expected job numbers last month have helped calm fears of a new recession〔不景气〕, the nation's chronic high unemployment is expected to be a major issue in .

By making computers personal 50. putting the internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible, but intuitive and fun. And by turning his talents to storytelling, he has brought joy to millions of children and grownups 51. . Steve was fond of saying that he lived every day like 52. was his last. 53. he did, he transformed our lives, redefined entire industries, and achieved one of the rarest feats in human history: he changed the way each of us sees the world.The world has lost a visionary. And there may be 54. greater tribute to Steve’s success than the fact that 55. of the world learned of his passingon a device he invented.Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension 〔30 marks〕Directions： Read the following 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．AWhen their parents were children, they imagined a future standing in front of a class of pupils or doing the rounds as a doctor．But today's British teenagers, a survey suggests, seem to have set their sights only on becoming the next Leona Lewis or Wayne Rooney．Researchers questioned 3,000 teenagers about their ambitions and also asked parents about their youthful career hopes．According to the survey, youngsters dream of a celebrity lifestyle, perhaps after finding fame through shows such as the X Factor, and of being actors or sports stars．Copying the likes of Rooney and David Beckham was the top career ambition of today's teenagers, cited by 12 percent．Almost as many, 11 percent, wanted to be pop stars, and the same proportion dreamed of being actors．The success of celebrity chefs such as Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay is likely to explain why becoming a chef is now the dream of 5 percent, a career ambition which did not figure in the list of 25 years ago．A quarter of a century back teaching was the top career choice, cited by 15 percent．These days the job is chosen by only 4 percent．Of the traditional professions, only law has risen in popularity．The survey also suggests that more girls dream of becoming doctors and boys want careers as astronauts or firefighters．Child psychologist Laverne Antrobus said the findings reflect today's celebrity culture and warned children against unrealistic dreams．"Children see footballers, pop stars and actors on TV and their lives look exciting, glamorous and fun," she said．"It is hard for them to realize that they are the end product of a lot of ingredients including talent, determination and years of hard work．Wayne Rooney is not on the pitch by chance．"As Antrobus pointed out, there is absolutely nothing wrong with children having big dreams, but "these have to be based on reality," she said．56pop stars and actors．A．have the talent of B．work as hard asC．enjoy the celebrity lifestyles of D．become successful by chance like 57．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．12 percent of British teenagers surveyed wanted to become chefs．B．22 percent of British teenagers surveyed wanted to be pop stars or actors．C．None of the traditional professions are favored by today's British teenagers, the survey suggests．D．Teaching, though less popular, seems to remain one of the top career choices on the list．58．According to child psychologist Laverne Antrobus, the change in career ambitions suggested by the study .A．represents progress B．mirrors today’s celebrity cultureC．shows how materialistic youngsters are D．suggests British teenagers watch too much TV59．What does the underlined sentence "Wayne Rooney is not on the pitch by chance．"mean?A．Wayne Rooney does not get to play much today．B．Wayne Rooney didn't get into sport by chance．C．Wayne Rooney doesn't believe in luck when he is playing．D．Wayne Rooney didn't become successful by luck．60．The expert quoted in the article believes ______．A．there's no point in teenagers having dreamsB．it is wrong to desire to live the life of a celebrityC．young Britons have the same ambitions as their parentsD．children should set practical goals when they think of their careerBThe past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists 〔人类学家〕．Descriptions like "Palaeolithic〔旧石器时代的〕Man" ．"Neolithic〔新石器时代的〕Man" ,etc．，neatly sum up whole periods．When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century, they will surelychoose the label" Legless Man"．Histories of the time will go something like this: "in the twentieth century, people forgot how to use their legs．Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age．There were lifts in all large buildings to prevent people from walking．And the surprising thing is that they didn't use their legs even when they went on holiday．"The future history books might also record that we were deprived of the use of our eyes．In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way．Air travel gives you a bird's-eye view of the world．When you travel by car or train, an unclear picture of the countryside constantly smears the windows．Car drivers, especially, are mixed with the urge to go on and on: they never want to stop．The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says" I've been there．"You mention the remotest, and someone is bound to say "I've been there"—meaning, "I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else．"When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place．But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless．You want to move on again．By traveling like this, you suspend all experience．The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present．For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes．He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body．At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical tiredness．He knows that sound, satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers．61．Anthropologists label man nowadays "Legless" because______．A．people forget how to use their legs B．people prefer cars, buses and trainsC．lifts prevent people from walking D．there are a lot of transportation devices62．Travelling at high speed means______．A．people’s focus on the futureB．a pleasureC．satisfying drivers’ great thrillD．a necessity of life63．Why does the author say “we are deprived of the use of our eyes〞?A．People won’t use their eyes.B．In traveling at high speed, eyes become useless.C．People can’t see anything on their way of travel.D．People want to sleep during traveling.64．What does “a bird’s-eye view〞 mean?A．See view with bird’s eyes.B．A bird looks at a beautiful view.C．It is a general view from a high position looking down.D．A scenic place.65．What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A．Legs become weaker.B．Modern means of transportation make the world a small place.C．There is no need to use eyes.D．The best way to travel is on foot.CIf you see someone touched on the cheek, and feel as if your own cheek has been touched, then you have mirror-touch synesthesia (共感觉), a condition that causes people to feel the touches that they see others receive.As the name implies, a mirror effect is involved. If a mirror-touch synesthete is standing opposite someone and the non-synesthete is hit in the right arm, the synesthete will feel the blow in his or h er left arm. If the two are standing next to each other, contact with the non-synesthete’s right arm will be felt in the synesthete’s right arm.People with mirror-touch synesthesia have very active mirror neurons(神经细胞) that can produce intense sensations of emotional empathy(同情). Such people can not only imagine the pain of others, but often feel as if it were their own.Besides feeling what others feel, mirror-touch synesthetes are often morally extremely sensitive; many claim to be unable to understand how people can laugh at the misfortunes of others, and to find action and horror movies unbearable to watch.In , Sarah Jane-Blak9emore, a neuroscientist(神经科学家) at University College London, net a 39-year-old woman who confirmed that she could feel contact that she only observed, such as a pinch(掐). She had thought all people were that way; it had never occurred to her that mirror-touch synesthesia was unusual. Researchers later discovered that 11 of the woman’s relatives had another type of synesthesia, known as color-grapheme synesthesia.Recent studies have shed more light on the phenomenon. Researchers have used brain scans, touch tests, and questionnaires to look for mirror-touch synesthesia in 10 subjects. Brain scans have shown that certain areas of the brain are extremely active when mirror-touch synesthetes see someone being touched, while in touch tests they often mistook an observed touch for the one applied to themselves.Learning why some people are highly sensitive to the emotions of others could teach us more about those who aren’t.66．If you’re a mirror-touch synesthete, which of the following best shows the function of the mirror effect in you?A．When you see someone with the broken leg, you try to help.B．When someone hits you on the head, you feel pain.C．When someone touches your left arm, your right arm feels it.D．When someone hits his left leg, your right leg feels it.67．According to the text, what causes mirror-touch synesthesia?A．Mirror neurons. B．A mirror effect. C．emotional empathy.D．Genes.68．All the following of another person can be sensed by a mirror-touch synesthete EXCEPT .A．being touched B．inner feelings C．knowledge D．pain69．Why is the 39-year-old woman mentioned in Paragraph 5?A．Because 11 of her relatives have synesthesia as well.B．Because she can feel pinch she only observes.C．Because Sarah Jane-Blakemore knew her well.D．Because she had never realized she had synesthesia.70．Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the text?A．We still know little about mirror-touch synesthesia.B．A mirror-touch synesthete is created by horror films.C．Brain scans show the crain is active when touched.D．We can learn about normal people by studying mirror-touch synesthesia. Part IV Writing 〔45 marks〕Section A〔10 marks〕Directions： Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the informationfrom the passage．Write NOMORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．Stage FrightStage fright is not commonly thought of as a phobia. Officially, it can be recognized as a subset of glossophobia, or fear of public speaking, which is itself a type of social phobia. Many people who perform on a public stage, from kids in school to professional actors, are potentially at risk for stage fright. Even Hollywood lore is filled with tales of performers who have battled with this phobia.People suffering from stage fright have probably dealt with endless questions from family and friends as to why they put themselves through the torment. Two reasons, according to some experts, can account for this phenomenon. First, most performers haven’t had much practice at it. Any unfamiliar activity creates some stress. Second, none of them likes to be evaluated and they dislike the thought of having others examine them too closely.Then, if one suffers from stage fright, what symptoms can be experienced? The phobia generally begins weeks or months before the performance; they may begin to feel jumpy. As the date of the performance draws closer, the symptoms worsen. A few hours before the time when the performers participate in the show, they may meet some problems such as diarrhea(腹泻), and heart palpitations. Both during and after a show, one may even suffer from dry mouth, which is a very annoying problem to have. What’s worse, their hands may shake so much that they can’t read their own notes.It is important to find healthy ways to cope with stage fright. Many performers turn to self-medication, in an effort to dull the pain. This is never a good choice for anyone, because it can turn into a dangerous cycle for those who perform regularly. Like any phobia, stage fright is highly treatable. Many people with stage fright think that their performance will not be “good enough〞, thereby disappointing their audience and ruining their own careers. Therapy can help you learn to replace these negative messages with more rational thoughts and with the help of some therapists you will also be taught relaxation exercises that you can do when the anxiety becomes overwhelming.Stage fright is remarkably common, and many performers never seek help. Treated properly, however, the condition can be successfully managed.Directions： Read the following passage．Answer the questions according to the informationgiven in the passage．Forty-three years seems like a long time to remember the name of a mere acquaintance．I have forgotten the name of an old lady, who was a customer on the paper route in my home town when I was a twelve-year-old boy．Yet it dwells in my memory that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness that I shall never forget．On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the slanted roof of the old lady's house from a spot near her backyard．The object of our play was to observe how the stones changed to missiles as they rolled to the roof’s edge and shot out into the yard like comets(彗星) falling from the sky．I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it out．The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped from my hand as I let it go and headed straight not for the roof but for a small window on the old lady's back porch．At the sound of fractured glass, we knew we were in trouble．We turned tail8〕and ran faster than any of our missiles flew off her roof．I was too scared about getting caught that first night to be concerned about the old lady with the broken window in winter．However, a few days later, when Iwas sure that I hadn't been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune．She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper,but I was no longer able to act comfortable in her presence．I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and in three weeksI had the seven dollars that I calculated would cover the cost of her window．I putthe money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking herwindow and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it．I waited until it was dark, snuck up to the old lady's house, and put the letterI didn't sign through the letter slot in her door．My soul felt redeemed and I couldhave the freedom of, once again, looking straight into the old lady's kind eyes．The next day, I handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warmsmile that I was receiving from her．She thanked me for the paper and gave me a bagof cookies she had made herself．I thanked her and proceeded to eat the cookies asI continued my route．After several cookies, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag．WhenI opened the envelope, I was stunned．Inside were the seven dollars and a short notethat said, "I'm proud of you．"81.

河北省衡水市枣强县衡水董子高级中学2023-2024学年高三下学期3月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解There are very few countries in the world that don’t have some sort of legend (传说) or connect ion with dragons. Here are some great destinations to get a fi x on dragon.FranceCalais in France has a dragon standing 33 feet tall, 82 feet long, with a wingspan of more than 55 feet. It walks and moves as you would imagine a dragon does, and you can take it for a ride. The Calais dragon is a mechanical wonder, which is nearly too real to be called a fairground creature.WalesIn the UK, you will find a proud dragon country, Wales. Here there is the legend of two dragons: one white and one red. Wales’ tale describes the two dragons fighting and the red one winning, so you will find it difficult to hurry about the country without coming across a red dragon. Dragons are sold in souvenir shops, sit by ancient castles, hang around in King Arthur’s Labyrinth, and are featured on the national flag.NorwayThe Vikings knew a thing or two about dragons. In the lovely film How to Train Your Dragon, they even flew them. But seriously, when you dig into Norway’s Viking history and legends, you will find dragons mentioned everywhere, though not as cute as those in the film. From the figurehead in the Viking Ship Museum to jewelry, and decorations on buildings, be on the lookout for them when visiting Norway.BhutanThe Druk or Thunder Dragon, is the national symbol and appears everywhere. The country is called Land of the Thunder Dragon, or Kingdom of Druk, and it’s part of the national anthem (国歌) and its flag. Despite its fearful name, it’s actually rather cute. The legend has it that the sound of thunder through the mountain s is actually the dragon roaring. 1．What can we learn about the Calais dragon?A．It’s a character from a popular film.B．It’s a creation designed for entertainment.C．It’s a real creature trained for rides.D．It’s a sculpture displayed in a museum.2．What do Wales and Bhutan have in common on dragons?A．They feature dragons on their flags.B．They include dragons in their anthems.C．They have a legend of two dragons.D．They describe dragons as cute images. 3．Which country associates dragons with a natural phenomenon?A．France.B．Wales.C．Norway.D．Bhutan.We can create learning moments that students remember forever if we open up our classrooms to awe and wonder.Toward the end of my high school year, our Spanish teacher organized a trip to see an Andean band perform in Philadelphia. My classmates and I egged one another on ironically (讽刺地): Who could enjoy the show? The performers’ clothing seemed odd. The instruments, strange. But then the performers kicked in, dancing to their bombo and wancara drums around the stage and the panpipes and quena announced a kind of sound—new to us.We had spent too little time discussing the culture of the Inca in social studies but its traditions came alive for us that evening. Once the wonderful performance lit up the stage and the hall filled up with music, my teenage cynicism disappeared. I rose out of my chair to dance with honest joy.I have spent the last seven years living and working in South America. But my thirst for cultural exploration and a desire to understand the world outside my language and country has been alive longer than that. Sometimes I think that night dancing to those ancient rhythms unlocked this fascination. Why do I remember it so clearly decades later?In his recent book Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life, psychology professor Dacher Keltner explains that “brief moments of awe are as good for your mind and body as anything you might do.” Besides being a memorable emotion, awe boosts curiosity, builds humility, helps with critical thinking, and makes people feel more connected. It even makes us happier. “Twenty years into teaching happiness,” Keltner writes about how to find deep happiness, “I have an answer: FIND AWE.”Moving forward, let’s do our best to build instances of awe into our curriculum (课程). So when our former students approach us on the subway years later, they will recall the magical moments from their days spent in our classes.4．How did the students initially react to the Andean band’s performance?A．They showed respect for it.B．They approached it with doubt.C．They left in disappointment.D．They felt joyful to appreciate it. 5．What does the underlined word “cynicism” in paragraph 3 refer to?A．A deep understanding of music.B．A strong enthusiasm for exploration.C．A negative attitude to the world.D．A sense of connection with society. 6．What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A．The importance of finding happiness in life.B．The lasting impact of a memorable experience.C．The benefits of understanding different cultures.D．The positive role of awe in improving one’s life.7．Who is the text intended for?A．Teachers.B．High school graduates.C．Parents.D．Psychology researchers.Concrete has served as the foundation stone of the construction industry for hundreds of years. However, the process of producing concrete is one of the most environmentally unfriendly processes in the world. In the process, not only is carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) released into the air by the energy used to heat the limestone, but the limestone itself also gives out a huge amount of the element.Luckily, a number of start-ups throughout the world are using creative thinking to make the construction industry a whole lot more friendly for the planet.A Canadian company called CarbonCure, has found a way to inject (注入) concrete with carbon dioxide itself. Not only does this trap the carbon dioxide into the concrete, keeping it from running away into the atmosphere, but it also creates a super strong material called calcium carbonate, which reduces the total amount of concrete that needs to be used.California-based Brimstone, is creating carbon-negative concrete by doing away with limestone entirely and instead using silicate rock, a material that does not release carbon dioxide when heated. Instead, the process produces magnesium (镁) , which absorbs carbon dioxide, as the basis for their concrete.Additionally, researchers at Australia’s RMIT University have recently released a study showing that adding coffee grounds instead of sand to concrete could make it much stronger, reducing both the amount of sand used, as well as the amount of concrete that would need to be used in the final product.The biggest barrier at this point is convincing members of the industry that the new types of concrete are safe to be used, according to Stacy Smedley, director at a nonprofit focused on decarbonizing construction.Hopefully these new solutions to the environmental problems of concrete will soon be widely adopted. Given the significant part the construction industry has in releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, great improvements can be made when more environmentally-friendly materials are used.8．What is the environmental issue associated with traditional concrete production?A．The high demand for energy.B．The processing of waste materials.C．The mass release of carbon dioxide.D．The use of non-renewable resources. 9．How does CarbonCure deal with the environmental impact of concrete production?A．By using silicate rock as the basis.B．By putting carbon dioxide into concrete.C．By replacing sand with coffee grounds.D．By absorbing carbon dioxide withmagnesium.10．According to Smedley, what is the major challenge facing these solutions?A．Difficulty in making profits.B．Convincing the public of theconvenience.C．Lack of funding for research.D．Removing the industry members’ safety concerns.11．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To promote an alternative to concrete.B．To advocate environmental protection.C．To introduce new ways to produce concrete.D．To emphasize the significance of creativity.Writing out the same word again and again may bring back bad memories for some, but handwriting can boost connectivity across brain regions, some of which are involved in learning and memory, a new study shows.In the study, psychologists Audrey and Ruud, both at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, stuck electrodes (电极) on the participants’ heads. They asked the participants to type out or hand write with a digital pen words that appeared on a computer screen. Sensors in a cap recorded electrical brain activity. Then the psychologists looked for when two brain areas are active with the same frequency of electrical waves at the same time.This result can reveal the connectivity among different regions across the brain.With handwriting, the researchers saw increased activity, specifically in low frequency bands, not only in the expected motor areas but also in others associated with learning. These low frequency bands have previously been shown to support memory processes. When the team compared the two tasks, they realized that handwriting —but not typing —increased the connectivity across parietal (顶叶) brain regions, which are involved in sensory and motor processing, and central regions, many of which are involved in memory.“Even when the movements are very similar, the activation seems much, much higher in handwriting,” Audrey says. “It shows that there’s more involvement of these brain regions when you’re handwriting, which might give you some specific advantages.”These findings suggest that there are distinct processes of brain activation happening while a person types or writes. This boost of stimulation of handwriting facilitates learning because these particular waves between these areas are involved in memory formation and encoding (编码) .And although handwriting may help with learning processes, typing is often easier, faster and more practical. “Students and teachers alike should therefore consider the task at hand to decide to hand write or type,” Audrey says. Despite the need for more studies to determine the best learning strategy, experts say that handwriting shouldn’t be left behind in the digital age. “Schools need to bring in more writing into curriculum design,” Ruud says.12．What did Audrey and Ruud mainly do in their research?A．They tested the function of electrodes.B．They analyzed the brain structure.C．They monitored the brain activities.D．They recorded the writing speed. 13．Why can handwriting improve learning more than typing?A．It involves more specific brain activation.B．It promotes better muscle memory.C．It allows for more innovative thinking.D．It encourages better concentration. 14．What’s the author’s attitude toward typing?A．Favorable.B．Objective.C．Doubtful.D．Unclear. 15．What might be the best title for the text?A．Taking Notes by Hand is Becoming Uncommon in ClassB．Using Keyboard is Recommended Due to Its ConvenienceC．Widespread Brain Connectivity is Crucial to Human LearningD．Handwriting Boosts Brain Connections More Than Typing DoesWhile technology addicts teens to their devices, they are not helpless against the draw of it. Here are five ways educators can support their students’ digital well-being.Explore design tricks companies use. The technology we use daily is designed to catch and hold our attention. Companies know what keeps our eyes on the screen. To help, teachers can unpack design tricks and explain how companies employ features like auto-play to get users to stay on their apps. 16Talk about how technology can increase feelings of anxiety. The decline in youth mental health is associated with an increase in social media use. 17 We can help our students by allowing them to consider the benefits of technology and then to think about changing the habits that aren’t serving their well-being.18 Social media can bring the feeling: “All my friends have better lives than me.” Plus, design features like “read receipts” can lead to teens knowing their messages have been seen and stressing about why friends haven’t yet replied. These are classic examples of thinking traps. Identifying them can help teens get rid of some negative thoughts.Uncover the ways that AI can play a role in misinformation. AI is rapidly transforming the world. Recommendation algorithms (算法), which determine what we do and do not see on our feeds and in our search results, can have very real consequences. 19 By understanding how these technologies work, students can start to enjoy more benefits of technology.Encourage families to have meaningful conversations with their child. Take the time to share with families the topics and resources you’re teaching in class. 20 Knowing we’re all in the same boat is crucial.A．Social media is ruining our life.B．Connect them with their inner world.C．Build their awareness of thinking traps.D．This by no means indicates all technology is bad.E．They can pull us toward increasingly extreme views.F．It turns out adults and kids all pursue digital well-being.G．Knowing these can motivate students to get back their attention.二、完形填空This wasn’t the way I wanted to see Rome.

Beth Booker of Florida, turned to Twitter for help last week after seeing the images of her 78-year-old grandmother’s home in Fort Myers Beach, Florida being in water. In the days before Hurricane Ian struck her grandmother’s community, Beth and her husband helped her granny, Carole McDanel, prepare herself and her home for it.Her granny wanted to stay where she had been living for more than two decades. She felt safe to stay because Ian was heading north for another city and the house had survived quite a few major hurricanes in history. In addition, the home contained priceless family memories and heirlooms (传家宝), among which were photos of Booker’s dad, who passed away when she was only five years old. After her dad’s death, Booker had to live with her grandmother, McDanel.Once the storm struck, Booker received updates from her granny, who shared photos and videos showing flood started to fill the home. In her last phone call with granny, Booker told her granny to climb on the roof if the flood waters continued to climb. Unable to communicate with her granny any longer, Booker turned to Twitter for help with everything from searching for her granny to contacting local emergency officials.The Fort Myers area was left devastated Wednesday after Hurricane Ian. On Thursday, as rescue crews came over to search for survivors, Booker’s husband and friend began their own search for her granny by boat. Just a few hours later, at 4 p.m. on Thursday, Booker tweeted the news that herhusband and friend found granny sitting on her own sofa, where she was able to remain safe during the storm.McDanel and Booker, who declined to be interviewed, said in a statement that they felt grateful for the support they had received and that they are calling for the world to continue the same energy and love into recovery and relief efforts for their community.1. What does the underlined word “devastated” mean in paragraph 4?A．Disturbed. B．Rebuilt. C．Destroyed. D．Attacked.2. Where was Carole McDanel found?A．In her home.

When “irregardless” was included in Merriam-Webster dictionary, it caused wide disagreements. “Irregardless” has been in widespread and near-constant use since 1795, when a newspaper called The Charleston City Gazelle of Charleston Ga first used it. “We do not make the English language, and we merely record it,” the dictionary’s staff wrote in “Words of the Week”.The word’s definition, when we read it, would seem to be without regard. However, Merriam-Webster defines “irregardless” as “nonstandard” but meaning the same as “regardless”. According to Merriam-Webster, “Many people find ‘irregardless’ to be a ridiculous word, as the ir-prefix usually indicates negative meaning; however, in this case it appears to make the meaning of ‘regardless’ stronger.”“It’s not a real word. I don’t care what the dictionary says.” responds author Michelle Ray, who teaches English in Silver Spring, Md. And she says she’s still planning to mark “irregardless” as incorrect on her students’ work.An American newspaper the Baltimore Sun published the word in editor John McIntyre’s commentary on Saturday: “‘Irregardless’ is too a word; you just don’t understand dictionaries. People get upset about the dictionary because they think it is some sort of official document. But actually, it’s not. It’s just lexicographers identifying words that people use and trying to fin d out how they are spelled, how they are pronounced, what meanings they have and where they came from.”“The dictionary’s recognition doesn’t enroll a word as correct in the English language,” McIntyre says. “It just says this is a word that a lot of people use in English. And here’s what we know about it.” So it’s a word, but its use is still discouraged in formal writing.1. What’s the function of the first paragraph?A．To criticize the use of “irregardless”.B．To introduce the topic.C．To make a definition of “irregardless”.D．To give an example.2. What can we learn from the passage?A．“Irregardless” had been in widespread and near-constant use before 1975.B．The dictionary’s staff rarely record the English language.C．Michelle Ray thinks the use of “irregardless” formal but incorrect.D．People are still not encouraged to use “irregardless” in formal writing.3. What is the attitude of McIntyre to the appearance of “irregardless” in Merriam-Webster dictionary?A．Favorable. B．Conservative.C．Indifferent. D．Ambiguous.4. What can be the best title for the passage?A．“Irregardless” Is Frequently Used in Formal WritingB．“Irregardless” Shouldn’t Be Included in the DictionaryC．Regardless of What You Think, “Irregardless” Is a WordD．Experts Can’t Agree on the Meaning of “Irregardless”4. Few would question that arts, in its massive forms and media, are like a mirror that reflects the social, cultural, economic or even political situation of a society of a particular era. However, beyond being simply an illustration of the human condition, arts can be vital in pushing the country forward culturally and economically.Without doubt, arts are important for the progress of society. They enable individuals to develop on the whole and deepen the social ties in communities by gathering people to create, experience and enjoy art together, which can be seen from traditional ethnic dances to interactive theatre performanccs. Beyond material wants and needs, human beings find fulfilment in experiencing and expressing things of remarkable value through arts. Meanwhile, strong citizens’ participation in arts also strengthens the social fabric of a nation.Moreover, arts enable a nation to progress in human rights and values. As powerful media that are able to stir hearts and cause reflection, arts can speak up the human voice of criticism sharply and clearly in times of crisis, and call upon society to seek the common good. It is evident that arts,which express human values and emotions, can constitute a profound way of promoting human dignity and additionally, form the barrier of the ethical and moral life of society.More often than not, a booming arts scene may not narrow the rich-poor divide. It’s not hard to see that in a highly competitive world, it is essential for govemments to prioritize the development of a strong workforce and the building of sustainable industries. However, arts may well complement (补充) economic policies as arts encourage individuals to exercise creativity. As Albert Einstein stated, imagination is more important than knowledge. While knowledge and professional skills may stimulate a country’s development, the ability to innovate and think out of the box may be valuable to a society facing ever new and unpredictable challenges.While the importance of arts may differ from country to country, depending on its economic circumstances and the socio-political issues, the importance of arts to the progress of a nation should not be overlooked.1. What’s the first paragraph mainly about?A．The forms of arts.B．The functions of arts.C．The definition of arts.D．The development of arts.2. How do arts influence human rights and values?A．By reflecting humans’ views.B．By pointing out the common good.C．By giving people a sense of fulfilment.D．By forming the moral standard of society.3. Why is Albert Einstein mentioned in paragraph 4?A．To praise Albert Einstein’s achievements.B．To call on humans to remember our history.C．To stress the importance of arts in creativity.D．To show the necessity of knowledge and skills.4. What will the author probably agree with?A．Arts serve as the major influence in values.B．Arts play a part in the progress of a country.C．Arts should aim at strengthening social bonds.D．Arts can bridge the gap between rich and poor.5. It’s normal for friends to experience conflict, disagreements, and even fight. 1 Most times conflict with a friend is easily solved. But in some cases, the disagreement and the conflict grow leading to anger, sadness and even the end of a friendship. Learning to handle the conflict with friends in a healthy way is beneficial for both sides. Here are some tips.Calm down. The first thing is to calm down. 2 Prevent further damage to the relationship by taking a moment to calm down. Get some alone time. Tell your friend that you need a moment to clear your head. You can either go for a walk or just take a warm bath.3 It may feel as if it helps you explain your concerns more thoroughly if you bring in related examples from past events. Avoid this at all costs. Past issues for discussion only make things worse. Remember it’s important to focus on the issue at hand, not past events.Work towards a compromise. Unfortunately, some people believe that a compromise means a “lose/lose situation” because each person has to give up something. While this is true, every healthy relationship usually involves compromise and adjusting to others’ needs or wants. It takes two to make it work. 4Be careful of unhealthy friendships. It’s g enerally a good idea to work through conflicts with friends.5 If you are in a friendship that is based more on conflict or you seem to be the one always apologizing, you need to re-evaluate if this friendship is worth keeping and consider when to walk away.6.

Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them.Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources (资源), we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent (阻⽌) waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.1.From the passage we know that some students often __ in the school.A eat too muchB don’t work hardC waste thingsD throw rubbish everywhere2.Which is not mentioned in this passage?A Fresh waterB ForestC OilD Coal3.What may happen in 100 years?A We may still have enough oilB We may still have enough coalC We may have a little coalD We may have no coal or oil to use4 Which of the following is right?A Waste brings problems.B Waste can bring no problemC China is rich in fresh water.D Students never waste thins5 Which is the best title of this passage?A Stop WastingB School lifeC Waste in the schoolD Rich Resources in ChinaBDick was a college student．He was studying history．But at the end of the first school year he did not pass the exam．A month later he sat for the make-up exam，but he was down again．Dick was very afraid because he knew he might have to leave the college．When Dick's father knew this，he went to see the professor（教授）．“Dick is a good boy，” said the father．“If you let him pass it this time，I'm sure he will study harder next year and pass all the exams with very good marks．”“No，that's quite impossible，” answered the professor．“He almos t knows nothing about history．Last month I asked him when Napoleon（拿破仑）died，and he said he didn't know．”“Please，sir，give him another chance，” said the father．“Sometimes we were too busy to read the evening papers carefully，so we even don’t know Mr. Napole on was ill．”6.Dick has been in college for ______.A four yearsB only one yearC less than six monthsD more than two years7“ Sat for the make –up exam” in the passage means” ____A. 不及格 B 期末考试 C 参加补考D下决⼼8.

第一部分阅读理解每题2分，共40分第1节阅读下列短文，选最佳选项。

ACrosstalk, a traditional form of comic storytelling, is making a comeback in China's teahouses and theaters.Audiences can laugh the night away every Saturday at the Qianxiangyi Teahouse in Tianjin, entertained by the apprentices (学徒) of Hou Baolin, Ma Sanli or Yin Shoushan -- all leading crosstalk artists of years past -for only 20 yuan (US$2.40). The success in Tianjin has also given motivation to the rejuvenation (复活) of crosstalk in Beijing and other places.Although the art form originated in Beijing in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), Tianjin became a place where rising stars developed their styles and new pieces were tried out. The city was famous for thequality of its crosstalk performances."We only want to bring the traditional pieces back to the audiences, helping them to learn their charms and definitions," said Yin Xiaosheng, head of the Zhongyou Arts Troupe.Known in Chinese as xiangsheng (literally, "face and voice"), crosstalk was the main form of comedy（喜剧）throughout most of the 20th century. In the old days in Tianjin and elsewhere, temple fairs and markets were the main places for crosstalkers to perform, although they occasionally also appeared in teahouses or theaters.Usually crosstalk pieces draw on every aspect（方面）of Chinese culture, from history and folk tales tocontemporary social issues（问题）. Although there are hundreds of pieces in the traditional works, they areconstantly rewritten to suit the times and the audience, while new works are written as well. This is oneof the features that have made crosstalk a populist(平民) art form throughout its history."Crosstalk was in the doldrums with competition from other art forms, especially TV," said Wang Xiaochun, headmaster of the Northern Storytelling Arts School of China (NSAS). "But it has regainedits status（地位）with crosstalk fans, especially young people, growing aware of its rare qualities." The reawakening of interest in the traditional art is going beyond merely watching and listening for many. "More and more students are coming to NSAS to study crosstalk, including some girl students," said Wang, "They are sure that crosstalk will have a strong market."1. From the passage, we can know the crosstalk originates(源于) from ______.A. the TV showsB. the teahouse and theaterC. the cinemaD. the temple fairs and markets2. Crosstalk makes a comeback mainly because_________.A. it is one of the most popular traditional art formsB. the pieces mainly cover folk tales and social issuesC. the pieces are changing with times and audienceD. it is performed by some leading crosstalk artists3. Which is the opposite of the underlined word "doldrums" (in the last paragraph)?A. Boom.B. Variety.C. Harmony.D. Period.4. From the passage we can predict the future of crosstalk lies in______.A. making up a variety of traditional piecesB. having advantages over other mediaC. young people's the awareness of its valueD. the competitive and big markets for artBFebruary 24,2008 saw thieves break into the showroom of an Italian jeweler favored by Hollywood stars and stole items worth up to 10 million dollars while its owners were in Los Angeles hosting a party to celebrate the Oscars．The robbery，which took place at the Damiani showroom in Milan’s fashion district that morning，was compared later with the “perfect scenes” in films such as Ocean’s Eleven and The Italian Job．The thieves had spent more than a month digging a tunnel from a disused cellar(地下室)in a building joined to the showroom．The digging had been heard for weeks but was thought to be part of continuing building works next door. The four thieves，dressed in balaclavas，sunglasses and fake uniforms of the Guards, used an inside stair to reach the first floor，thus avoiding alarms and video cameras．The showroom had been opened for a private viewing and there were five employees inside，including a cleaning lady and a member of the staff，as well as the manager. The thieves said they were there to check the accounts(账目)，then knocked down the staff，tied them up with ropes，covered their mouths with tape and locked them in the washroom. They then helped themselves to jewelry from the safe and left the way they had come．The entire operation had taken little more than 40 minutes．The employees managed to free themselves and raise the alarm，but by then the thieves were long gone．The police said that they were looking into whether the robbers had “inside assistance” that had helped them to avoid the alarms and cameras．5．Which of the following is the best title of this passage?A．10 Million of Jewelry Stolen B. Perfect RobberyC．The Italian Thieves D．An Italian Jeweler6．Why didn’t the thieves appear in the cameras? Perhaps because ．A．there was something wrong with the cameras thenB．the thieves entered the showroom through an inside stairC．the employees were too frightened to open the cameras thenD．the cameras didn’t work with the uniforms of the guards7．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．The Italian jeweler was popular with some famous American film stars．B．The thieves went into a disused tunnel into the showroom．C．When the robbery took place，there was no one in the showroom．D．One of the jeweler employees must have helped the robbery secretly．8．We can infer from the passage that ．A．The thieves left the showroom from where they came into it．B．The items were so dear that no one could afford to buy one．C．The most valuable jewels survived the robbery．D．The jeweler had to close down because of the showroom robbery．CSafety and Security ProceduresYour safety and the security of your personal property are of the primary concern to those of us who welcome you as our guest.

They feel heavy pressures from their parents to do well in school. Most students are always being told by their parents to study harder so that they can have a wonderful life. Though this may be good ideas for those very bright students, it can have very bad results for many students who are not quick enough at learning.Unfortunately, a number of students killed themselves. Others are after comfort in using drugs. Some do bad things with trouble-makers and turn to crime. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have disappointed their parents. Such students feel that they are less important and leave school before they have finished their study.It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers’ work to help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to special school called juku-cram schools. These schools are open during the evening and on weekends, and their only purpose is to prepare students to pass exam; they do not try to educate students in any real sense of the real world. It thus comes as a shock to realize that almost three quarter of the junior or high school population attend these cram schools.Ordinary Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students’ hair to their clothes and things in their school bags. Child psychologists now think that such strict rules often lead to a feeling of being unsafe and being unable to fit into society. They regard rules as being harmful to the development of each student. They believe that no sense of moral values is developed and that students are given neither guidance nor training in becoming good citizens.12．According to the passage, a lot of Japanese students are unhappy at school because ________.A．they work very hard B．they find they can’t do well at schoolC．they feel unimportant D．they are under too much pressure13．Because of their failure at school, some students ________.A．go to cram school for better educationB．leave school without finishing their studyC．are against the school rulesD．have quarrels with their parents14．What’s the best title of the passage?A．The Pressure of Being a Student in JapanB．The Problems of Japanese StudentsC．Education in JapanD．The Trouble in Japanese Schools15．In the third paragraph, ‘‘juku-cram schools’’ probably means the school in which _______.A．you can be taken good care of by the teachersB．teachers are responsible for their studentsC．you learn as much as possible in a short time before taking examsD．students have their classes in the eveningE第二节根据对话内容，从文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
