During his recovery, he made a vow (立誓）that his life wouldn’t change.43 , as before, he and his wife come in whenever there is a new art show.”“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked. “ He can’t see.”“Can’t see? You’re 44 . He sees more than you or I do,”the clerk said. “His wife described each painting so clearly that he can clearly see it in his eyes.”I learned something about patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without45 and the courage of a husband who would not 46 blindness to alter his life.

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.AOne of my best friends flew down from Alaska to celebrate her 40th birthday with me. We explored the countryside with no real agenda or constraint. The grand finale (压轴戏) was a beautiful outdoor dinner filled with memorable conversation and laughter. We headed out on the one-and-a-half-hour mountain pass drive in the pitch dark, still engaged in deep conversation.About 45 miles from home, I noticed the low fuel light was on, and I looked on my car’s computer to see that we had one mile until we were out of fuel. Oh, no! How could I have forgotten to check before hea ding out of the town? I didn’t want to alarm my friend, and didn’t interrupt her story. I started praying and told myself to keep calm.Running out of fuel on this route would have been truly catastrophic at 10:30 p.m. It is incredibly dark and rugged（崎岖的）, and there’s not a lot of traffic. There are no towns, few people, and definitely no petrol stations. My mind raced as I considered the tragic possibilities.I finally calmly told my friend about our situation. She started strategizing about what we would do and how we could call my husband, Steve, but I didn’t want him to have to get our three children out of bed. There was the tow truck option, but we would have to be on the side of the road in the middle of the wilderness for at least 45 minutes! All of the options were truly terrible.She was nervous, and all I could do was constantly tell her I was certain we would make it. Sure enough, we did. We literally made it over 40 miles with no fuel, and I kno w that my car’s fuel measurement system is pretty accurate. Now, there is the logical part of my brain, trying to make excuses for the situation and the car and every other possible option. But inside, I heard the truth: we experienced a miracle.56. From the first paragraph, we can infer that the author and her friend ______.A. were enjoying themselves on the wayB. hadn’t seen each other for a long timeC. were nervous when driving in the countrysideD. had a serious conversation in the car57.

What does the underlined word probably mean in the third paragraph?A. terribleB. nervous.C. harmful.D. unexpected.59. Why didn’t the author want to call her husband?A. She was worried about bothering her husband.B. She knew she could still drive a long way.C. She thought her friend could find out a solution.D. She didn’t want her children to have to get up.60.

But our obsession with recording every detail of our happiest moments could be damaging our ability to remember them, according to a new research. A study has shown that taking pictures rather than concentrating fully on the events in front of us prevents memories taking hold.Dr. Linda Henkel, from Fairfield University, Connecticut, describe d it as the “photo-taking impairment effect”. She said, “People often pull out their cameras almost mindlessly to capture a moment, to the point where they are missing what is happening right in front of them. When people rely on technology to remember for them — counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves — it can have a negative impact on how well they remember their experiences.”Dr. Henkel and her team carried out an experiment in a museum to learn if taking pictures of the exhibits was hindering the ability of visitors to remember what they had seen.A group of university students were led on a tour at the Bellarmine Museum of Art at Fairfield University and were asked to either photograph or try and remember objects on display. The next day their memory was tested. The results showed that people were less accurate in recognizing the objects they had photographed than those they had only looked at. It was found that their memory for the details of the objects they had photographed was poorer.Henkel’s lab is currently investigating whether the content of a photo, such as whether you are in it, affects memory. She is also researching whether actively choosing what to photograph might influence what we remember.Previous research suggests that reviewing photos we have taken does help us remember objects, but only if we take the time.“Research has suggested that the sheer volume and lack of organization of digital photos forpersonal memories discourages many people from accessing and recalling them. In order to remember, we have to access and interact with the photos, rather than just collect them,” said Dr. Henkel.66. What does the word, “them”, in the first paragraph, refer to?A. Gifts at a birthday.B. People who go to parties.C. Photos taken at a wedding.D. Details of the happiest moments.67. What is the “photo-taking impairment effect”?A. Some unhappy events may impair the effects of photos.B. Taking photographs of ob jects ruins one’s memory of them.C. The effects of photos are strongly affected by bad cameras.D. Memories last forever when people take the photos they like most.68. What can we learn about Dr. Linda Henkel’s study?A. A group of high school students were involved.B. The memory of participants was tested the following week.C. People who just looked at the objects remembered fewer details.D. People who photographed objects were worse at recognizing them.69. With which of the following may Dr. Linda Henkel agree?A. Reviewing photos improves memories of objects.B. Focusing on people at events is the best way to remember.C. Relying on technology to remember affects the memory.D. Counting on cameras to record events is always reliable.70.

But the real improvement of China-Japan relations depends on the implementation (贯彻、落实) of the consensus, he said."What the three countries should consider now is how to ensure that the three-way cooperation will not be interrupted again and how to guarantee the healthy and smooth development of the trilateral cooperation," Wang said.As neighbors and major economies, China, South Korea and Japan should join hands to contribute to the economic development of the region and the world at large, the Chinese foreign minister said.But in recent years, bilateral relations among the three countries have met with difficulties due to the perception of history which has troubled the three-way cooperation and gone against the common interests of the three nations and the expectations of the international community, Wang said.81.According to Wang Yi, to ensure the ties between China and Japan to improve smoothly, whatshould Japan do?

AIn 1978，I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately，the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I'd hitch a ride （搭便车）．I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally，a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn't give me a lift，I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使……放心）me I was safe，and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house，he made us sandwiches. After lunch，he helped me find a lift home.Twenty five years later，in 2003，while I was driving to a nearby town one day，I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat，trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I'd been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.After a few moments of small talk，the man said to me，“You haven't changed a bit，even your red hair is still the same.”I couldn't remember where I'd met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.1. The author had to hitch a ride one day in 1978 because ______.A．her work delayed her trip to SydneyB．she was going home for her holidaysC．the town was far away from SydneyD．she missed the only train back home2. Which of the following did Gordon do according to Paragraph 2?A．He helped the girl find a ride.B．He gave the girl a ride back home.C．He bought sandwiches for the girl.D．He watched the girl for three hours.3. The reason why the author offered a lift to the elderly man was that ______.A．she realized he was GordonB．she had known him for decadesC．she was going to the nearby townD．she wanted to repay the favour she once got4. What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?A．Giving sometimes produces nice results.B．Those who give rides will be repaid.C．Good manners bring about happiness.D．People should offer free rides to others.BIt happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was，in his words，“a brilliantly（精彩地）written book”．However，he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven't. In the World Book Day's “Report on Guilty Secrets”，Dreams From My Father is at number 9.The report lists ten books，and various authors，which people have lied about reading，and as I'm not one to lie too often（I'd hate to be caught out），I'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that，unlike 42 percent of people，I have read the book at number one，George Orwell's 1984.I think it's really brilliant.The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen，Charles Dickens，Fyodor Dostoevsky（I haven't read him，but haven't lied about it either）and Herman Melville. Asked why they lied，the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in depth!But when asked which authors they actually enjoy，people named J．K. Rowling，John Grisham，Sophie Kinsella（ah，the big sellers，in other words）．Forty--two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story（I'll come clean：I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so）．5. How did the author find his friend a book liar?A．By judging his manner of speaking.B．By looking into his background.C．By mentioning a famous name.D．By discussing the book itself.6. Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day report?A．Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.B．42% of people pretended to have read 1984.C．The author admitted having read 9 books.D．Dreams From My Father is hardly read.7. By lying about reading，a person hopes to ______.A．control the conversationB．appear knowledgeableC．learn about the bookD．make more friends8. What is the author's attitude to 58% of readers?A．Favorable.B．Uncaring.C．Doubtful.D．Friendly.CGiven that many people's moods（情绪）are regulated（调节）by the chemical action of chocolate，it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made thechocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine. Looking like a setting from the film Charlie& the Chocolate Factory，Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility（CRF）has over 100 varieties of chocolates. Its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents' corner store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets.If the CRF seems to be a smart idea，that's because Lee is not merely an experienced salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi's and Sony. That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored（味道）chocolates.The CRF's produce is “green”，made within the country and divided into 10 lines，with the Alcohol Series being the most popular. The Exotic Series—with Sichuan pepper，red bean（豆），cheese and other flavors—also does well and is fun to taste. And for chocolate snobs，who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others，the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo，Cuba，Venezuela，and Ghana，among others.9. What is good about chocolate?A．It serves as a suitable gift.B．It works as an effective medicine.C．It helps improve the state of mind.D．It strengthens business relations.10. Why is Chris Lee able to develop his idea of the CRF?A．He knows the importance of research.B．He learns from shops of similar types.C．He has the support of many big names.D．He has a lot of marketing experience.11. Which line of the CRF produce sells best?A．The Connoisseur Series.B．The Exotic Series. C．The Alcohol Series.D．The Sichuan Series.12. The words “chocolate snobs” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to people who______. A．are particular about chocolateB．know little about cocoa beansC．look down upon othersD．like to try new flavorsDI got my first driver's license（执照）in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. Four years later when it was time to renew my license I was a married woman. Henry and I were living in Baltimore, Maryland. Two weeks before my20th birthday, Henry drove me to the motor vehicle office on a hot July afternoon. When I got to the office and showed to the man behind the counter my North Carolina driver's license, ready to renew, the man told me that I was under age by Mar yland law since I was not yet 21.“Mr.Henry Smith, your husband, will have to sign for you,”I argued, pointing to a very large belly（肚子）of mine, “I am married. I am having a baby. Why should I have to have someone sign for me to drive?”He answered coldly, “It's the law,madam.”Henry encouraged me to calm down, just go ahead and get the license and be done with it.“No,”I said. I refused to have him sign for me. So I left withoutaI called the North Carolina Motor Vehicle Office and renewed my NC license by mail—using my name Susan Brown. And thus it was for the next twelve years. Since Henry was in the army I could drive under my home state license. By the time Henry left the army we were once again living in Maryland, and I had to take the Marylanddriver's exam.

last 30 years．Bangkok, once a small fishing village, has transformed into a rich．concrete, high-rise city that it is today．The spreading metropolis and its population of 12 million now produces 35 per cent of Thailand's economic wealth．As a magnet for foreign companies, Bangkok attracts many overseas managers and business people from different fields, including tourism, automobiles and electronics．The city’s population of foreigners is in the high hundreds of thousands, with tens of thousands of Japanese, Chinese and western employees working alongside hundreds of thousands of Burmese who mostly do unskilled jobs shunned by Thais．For those used to the good life, the variety and quality of the city's food is a key attraction, says one USmanager, before listing many of his favourite Italian, Mexican and, of course, Thai restaurants．Most offer quality meals for less than the cost of a takeaway sandwich in London．Great choice and value can be found in Bangkok's other attractions, too．For overseas business people who enjoy shopping in luxury and air-conditioned comfort, the city has hundreds of modern shopping malls．Some foreigners, however, prefer the charms of Chatuchak Market, where anything can be bought at a good price by the skilled bargainer．When the time comes to talk business many overseas business people prefer to move out of the markets and onto the golf course．Thailand has thousands of courses, which can provide a welcome break from the busy and noisy city life．But most business people go to the golf course because it's the perfect place to discuss the next big deal．Because of the fast-paced life some foreign business people see Bangkok as a place to stay for the short term, rather than a lifetime．Australian computer software designer Sarah Huang is seven months pregnant but still working full-time in her Bangkok office．She says the city is "definitely a place I want to stay for the next five, ten years"．Nannies and home help are affordable, but high fees for quality secondary education have convinced Ms．Huang to return to Australia when her child reaches high school age．56．According to the first two paragraphs, we know that _____．A．Bangkok has always been a rich Thai cityB．Bangkok offers many working opportunities for peopleC．most foreigners coming to Bangkok are touristsD．Burmese in Bangkok mostly work for Thais57．The underlined word "shunned" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _____．A．unwanted B．forgottenC．appreciated D．rewarded58．What is the main attraction of golf for business people according to the passage?A．It is a good place in which to discuss business matters．B．It is the most convenient way for them to get regular exercise．C．It is a great way to escape from the noise and pollution of the city．D．It gives them the opportunity to meet local people in a social setting．59．Sarah Huang says she711 eventually leave Bangkok because _____．A．she is going to have a babyB．her working hours are too longC．the cost of a good education there is too highD．it's not easy to find suitable home help there60．The main purpose of the passage is to _____．A．describe the attractions of living in Bangkok for foreign business peopleB．promote the many attractions Bangkok has to offer tourists visiting the cityC．explain the reasons for Bangkok's rapid economic growth over the past 30 yearsD．compare the lifestyles of Burmese workers and foreign business people in BangkokBA woman renewing her driver's license at the County Clerk's office was asked to state her occupation．She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself．"What I mean is．" explained the recorder, ''do you have a job, or are you just a．．．""Of course I have a job," said Emily．"I'm a mother．""We don’t list 'mother' as an occupation．．．"housewife' covers it," said the recorder．One day I found myself in the same situation．The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title．"What is your occupation?" she asked．The words simply came out．'I'm a Research Associate in the field of ChildDevelopment and Human Relations．"The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in mid-air．I repeated the title slowly, and then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire．"Might I ask," said the clerk with new interest, "just what you do in this field?"Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice．I heard myself reply, "I have a continuing program of research （what mother doesn' t）, in the lab and in the field （normally I would have said indoors and out）．Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities （any mother disagrees?）, and I often work 14 hours a day （24 is more like it）．But the job is more challenging than most careers and 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 showed me out．As I drove into our driveway, feeling happier by my attractive and exciting new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants—aged 13．7 and 3．Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model （a 6-month-old baby）, in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern．I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and essential to mankind than "just another mother"．Motherhood．．．What a glorious career! Especially when there's a title on the door．61．What can we infer from the conversation between the woman and the recorder at the beginning of the passage?A．The woman felt ashamed to admit what her job was．B．The recorder was impatient and rude．C．The author was upset about the situation that mothers faced．D．Motherhood was not recognized and respected as a job by society．62．How did the female clerk feel at first when the author told her occupation?A．Curious．B．Puzzled．C．Upset．D．Frightened．63．How did the author feel when describing her job to the clerk?A．Calm．B．Angry．C．Unconfident． D．Annoyed．64．Why did the woman clerk show more respect for the author?A．Because the author cared little about rewards．B．Because she admired the author's research work in the lab．C．Because she thought the author did admirable work．D．Because the author did something she had little knowledge of．65．What is the author’ s purpose of writ ing the passage?A．To show how you describe your job affects your feelings toward itB．To show that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect．C．To show that the author had a grander job than Emily．D．To show that being a mother is hard and boring work．CTexting pedestrians aren’t just an annoyance to their fellow walkers, but something dangerous to themselves．"I was checking emails while walking to work this morning," said Wolbert van den Hoorn．"But it has a serious influence on the safety of people who type or read text while walking．"Anecdotes back him up．A tourist from Taiwan walked off a port near Melbourne last month while checking Facebook—bringing an abrupt, and icy end to a penguin- watching visit．Another shopper in the U．S．was too addicted to his mobile phone to notice the fountain ahead, walking straight into it．And as mobile-phone use has grown—to about 77% of the world's population, the study says—so has the number of phone-related accidents．The number of U．S．emergency-room visits linked to phone use on

some western and African countries．The basic cause of it lies in discrimination, which claims women inequality with men in all aspects of life．Violence is both origin in discrimination and serves to worsen discrimination．Violence against women is a sign of historically unequal status of women compared to men, which has resulted into domination （控制，主宰）and discrimination against women by men and to the prevention of the full development of women．Violence against women is one of the important social means by which women are restricted into a secondary position in comparison with men．As violence against women is spread worldwide, many women are targets because of their ethnic group, class, sex or disability status．Many women think that the psychological consequences of abuse are even more dangerous than its physical effects．The experience of abuse often shakes women's self-respect and puts them at great risk of a number of mental health problems, such as:Depression is becoming broadly recognized as a main health problem in the world．Women who are abused by their partners suffer more depression and anxiety than women who have not been abused, according to studies in Australia, Nicaragua, Pakistan, and the US．Post-traumatic stress disorder （PTSD）is a strong anxiety disorder that can happen when people go through or witness a very unpleasant event in which they feel

to the information given in the passage．With the right encouragement and tools, children can develop leadership qualities that are important to help them succeed in all areas of life．Leadership activities and games help build these skills by enabling children to become more self-aware and improve their self-respect．Good leaders can convey their thoughts and feelings effectively．Poetry, short stories or drawing are ideal activities to introduce children to the concept of leadership．Ask children to think about what makes a great leader and then express their ideas．Games like blind obstacle courses can build communication skills as well．Planning and organizing is a fundamental leadership quality．Children can learn this skill by helping to plan a concert or play．Instead of assigning just one leader, divide the group into several small ones and assign leaders to each group．One group can be in charge of assigning roles and the second could be in charge of making invitations．How you distribute leadership roles will vary depending on the age of the children and what you have chosen to perform．Compromise is a skill of many effective leaders．Goals are obtained faster when arguments don’t slow the process．Activities that teach children the art of compromise help them to negotiate with friends and family naturally．Group science projects, for example, can help enable children to learn how to compromise and negotiate．The success or failure of the project will depend on the children' s ability to negotiate and work together．The ability to work well with others is another important leadership skill．Team sports like baseball can teach children how to work as a group and that their contribution is important to the overall success of the team．This builds their confidence and encourages them to think beyond themselves and their individual needs．81．What activities can be used to introduce children to the concept of leadership? （No more than 5 words）（2 marks）82．How can

高中英语真题：高级中学2015届高三第一次模拟考试试题.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1.Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata（奏鸣曲）by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable .They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even reali ze that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I gr ew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me ---I hear the notes and can bear them in mind---each and every note,” says Samuel.Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can’t play it. Samuel says confidently,” It’s all about super memory---I guess I have that gift.”However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn’t know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.21. What is special about Samuel Osmond?A. He has a gift for writing music.B. He can write down the note he hears.C. He is a top student at the law school.D. He can play the musical piece he hears.22. What can we learn from Paragraph 2 ?A.Samuel chose law against the wish of his parents.B. Samuel planned to be a lawyer rather than a musician.C. Samuel thinks of himself as a man of great musical ability.D. Samuel studies law and music on the advice of his teachers.23. Everyone around Samuel was surprised because he _________.A. received a good early education in musicB. played the guitar and the piano perfectlyC. could play the piano without reading musicD. could play the guitar better than his father24. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. The Qualities of a MusicianB. The Story of a Musical TalentC. The Importance of Early EducationD. The Relationship between Memory and Music.2.I fell in love with England because it was quaint (古雅)—all those little houses, looking terri­bly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls’ houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good man­ners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good man­ners—people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public trans­port after 10 p. m. I used to use it , but now I’m afraid.The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbor who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.25. The writer doesn’t like London because she ______.A. is not used to the life there nowB. has lived there for seventeen yearsC. prefers to live in an old-fashioned houseD. has to be polite to everyone she meets there26. Where do people usually meet their friends in England?A. In a cafe.B. In a restaurant.C. In a nightclub.D. In a pub.27. The underl ined part “it” (in Para. 4) refers to______.A. a taxiB. the moneyC. a bombD. public transport28. The writer took her neighbors to France for Christmas because he ______.A. felt lonely in EnglandB. had never been to FranceC. was from a typical French familyD. didn't like the British idea of family3. Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.After completing my training, I was sent to the village that wassmall and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and I returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.29. According to the Paragraph 2, it is most likely that the authorA. discussed his decision with his family.B. asked previous volunteers about voluntary workC. attended special training to perform difficult tasksD. felt sad about having to leave his family and friends30. In his application for the volunteer job, the authorA. participated in many discussionsB. went through some interviews and presentationsC. wrote quite a few papers on voluntary workD. faced strong competition from other candidates31. On arrival at the village, the author wasA. asked to lead a farming teamB. sent to teach in a schoolhouseC. received warmly by local villagersD. arranged to live in a separate house.4.Still seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere wall away from your college.King’s Art CentreA day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. Thisweekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.You could attend a class teaching you how to ‘learn fr om the masters’ or get more creative with paint – free of charge.The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.The Botanic GardenThe Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called ‘Hissing Sid’ is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.Byron’s PoolMany stories surround Lord Byron’s time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”. However, it seems as though Byron did man age to pass the time pleasantly enough. I’m not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now k nown as Byron’s Pool. A couple of miles past GrantChester in the south Cambridge shire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don’t trust me, then perhaps you’ll take it from Virginia Woolf – over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.32. As mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for ____.A. attending the masters’ classB. working with local artistsC. learning life drawingD. seeing an exhibition33. “Torch Aloe” and “Venus Flytrap” are ____.A. common insectsB. impressive plantsC. rarely-seen snakesD. wildlife-enthusiasts34. We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed ____.A. to fear pet bearsB. to like walkingC. to be a heavy drinkerD. to finish university in 180535. In the passage Byron’s Pool is described as a lake ____.A. surrounded by fieldsB. owned by Lord ByronC. located in Grant ChesterD. discovered by Virginia Woolf二、阅读填空(共2题)1.All over the world people enjoy sports.
