The roots of this form of affection can be traced back to primitive times, when mothers fondled their children, much as mothers do today.Much later, in the sixth century, society apparently accepted the custom of kissing between adults as an expression of their affection. Not surprisingly, France first accepted kissing in courtship（求爱）. There, figure dancing was popular, and each dance was sealed with a kiss.The custom of kissing swept from France through Europe to Russia, whereRussian nobility loved to imitate the French. Eventually, the kiss was incorporated into marriage ceremonies, and today lip-locks couples into sweet matrimony.The custom of kissing today, as well as in ancient times, serves to pay homage to another. Early Romans kissed each other on the mouth or on the eyes to greet one another in a manner they thought to be dignified. One Roman emperor even ranked a person's importance by the body part he was allowed to kiss. He allowed important nobles to kiss his lips, less important ones to kiss his hands, and the least important ones to kiss his feet.In Russia, the highest sign of recognition from the Crown meant a kiss from the Tsar himself. Today, natives of many African tribes pay homage to their Chief by kissing the ground over which he has walked.21. What’s mainly talked about in the passage?A. The way to express love and respect.B. The expression of affection.C. The custom of kissing.D. The function of kissing.22. Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “homage” in the 4th paragraph？A. recognitionB. respectC. importanceD. loyalty23. It can be learned from the passage that ___________.A. kissing is a widely accepted way to show love and affectionB. kissing used to be a proper way to show love on the wedding ceremonyC. kissing is a widely accepted way of greeting in the worldD. kissing from the Tsar is only sign of being accepted from the Crown24. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. It was France that made the custom of kissing go to the whole world.B. Early Africans kissed each other on the mouth or on the eyes to greet one another.C. One Roman emperor allowed important nobles to kiss his nose.D. Russian nobility followed the custom of kissing from the French.25. We can infer from the passage that __________.A. mothers created the custom of kissingB. kissing means differently on different occasionsC. figure dancing was usually sealed with a kiss in RussiaD. society found it hard to accept kissing in public in the sixth centuryBDo you know about a series of books that say they are “for dummies”? These American self-help books have been translated into more than thirty-nine languages including Chinese, Arabic, Russian, French, German, Greek and Spanish.“Dummy” is a word for a stupid person. The dummies books are not really for stupid people. They are designed to show people how to do something they may never have tried before, like painting a house or learning a language. The books all say in a funny way that they are for dummies, such as World History for Dummies, Rabbits for Dummies, Chinese Cooking for Dummies, and Wedding Planning for Dummies. The first such book, DOS for Dummies, was published in 1991. It helped people learn how to use the DOS operating system for computers. Since then, more than one hundred fifty million dummies books have been sold.The dummies. com website explains the idea behind the books. It says that they show that people can be taught to do anything. First they can make fun ofideas that are difficult to understand. Then they show how the information can be interesting and easy. The publishers say that the books do not provide more information than necessary. They give readers just enough information to do what they want. They say that the dummies books give the best and easiest way to do something. And the books use simple and easy language.There are more than one thousand different dummies books. A report in New York Times says that the top-selling dummies books are those that explain technology and personal finance.The publishers say that the best-selling dummies books are those providing information many people need---like information about diseases, education and cooking. People interested in opera, car repair and wine can also find dummies books to help them. And there are even more dummies books to come. The publishers say that they publish about two hundred new dummies books every year.26. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Books for DummiesB. The Easiest, the BestC.

At times, her plane nearly plunged (冲) into the sea.Just before dawn, there was further trouble. Amelia noticed fire coming from the engine. Would she be able to reach land? There was nothing to do except to keep going and to hope.In the end, Amelia Earhart did reach Ireland, and for the courage she had shown, she was warmly welcomed in England and Europe. When she returned to the United States, she was honored by President Hoover at a special dinner in the White House. From that time on, Amelia Earhart was famousWhat was so important about her flight?

At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes(撞击) through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast-moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks.There are two sides of their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress(床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!But although their work depends on tricks of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman's success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is “blown up” in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, forexample, skied over the edge of a cliff(悬崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute(降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed.In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men nolonger dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. Fornowadays there are stuntgirls too!１３.

号顿市安谧阳光实验学校高考总复习25分钟限时阅读天天练--第49 天第一部分：阅读表达（共15分） ks5uLife is a learning process, which involves happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others’. face gives a certain level of fulfillment. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair(绝望), but these things are temporary and pass away.Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder. The only way to show our gratitude to enjoying success is by being humble, modest, courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.Hope is what keeps life going.

Since it touches almost every facet of our life, educated people need at least some acquaintance(了解) with its structure and operation. They should also have an understanding of the subculture in which scientists live and the kinds of people they are. An understanding of general characteristics of science as well as specific scientific concepts is easier to attain if one knows something about what the scientist is interested.This book is written for the intelligent student or lay person(外行) whose acquaintance with science is limited. We hope this book will lead readers to a broader view on scientific attitudes and a more realistic view of what science is, who scientists are, and what they do. It will give them an awareness and understanding of the relationship between science and our culture and an appreciation of the roles science may play in our culture.We have tried to present in this book an accurate and up-to-date picture of the scientific community and the people in it. The increasing role of women in the scientific subculture is not a unique incident but, rather, part of the trend evident in all fields of society as more women enter traditionally male-dominated fields and make significant contributions. We have adopted the policy of using plural(复数的) nouns and pronouns whenever possible and, when absolutely necessary, alternating he and she.This policy is far from being ideal, but it is at least an acknowledgment of the inadequacy(不合适) of our language in treating half of the human race equally.We have also tried to make the book entertaining as well as informative. Our approach is usually informal. We feel, as do many other scientists, that we shouldn’t take ourselves too seriously. As the reader may observe, we see science as a delightful pastime rather than as a scary way to earn a living.6.We need to know about the structure and operation of science because ______.A. scientists live in almost every field of our lifeB. science affects almost every aspect of our lifeC. it is not easy to understand the scientists’ interestD. it is easier to understand general characteristics of science7. According to the passage, ‘scientific subculture’ probably means______.A. cultural groups that are formed by scientistsB. people whose knowledge of science is very limitedC. scientists who are not interested in cultureD. people who make good contributions to science8.The book mentioned in this passage is written to help people ______.A. to acquire more scientific knowledgeB. to know more about the scientists’ lifeC. to appreciate advanced scientific achievementsD. to better understand science and our culture9. Why do they choose to use plural nouns and pronouns in this book?A. To make the information accurate.B. To express the significant contributions.C. To show the equality of males and females.D. To indicate the key roles of women in science.10.This passage most probably is the ______ of a book.A. coverB. prefaceC. postscriptD. concluding part BEach year a million cows in Africa die from East Coast fever. The disease is spread by tick bites. Young cows are most at risk; they can die within days. Farmers and herders can lose up to half or more of their calves(小牛) to East Coast fever. The disease is widespread in eleven countries. And experts say it now threate ns ten million more animals.Researchers first developed an experimental vaccine(疫苗) against East Coast fever thirty years ago. The vaccine works by a process called "infection and treatment." The animals are infected with whole parasites(寄生虫) and treated with antibiotics(抗生素) at the same time. This keeps the disease from developing.Controlling East Coast fever has meant a better life in areas that have gotten the vaccine. For example, the vaccine has been available to a group of Maasai herders in northern Tanzania for about seven years. They used to lose three-fourths of their newborn calves each year. Now, most survive. As a result, many people have extra cattle to sell, and use the money to pay for school for their children.But making the vaccine more widely available -- especially in rural areas -- has been difficult. Farmers have been using supplies produced in the nineteen nineties. Recently there was a shortage. The International Livestock Research Institute made one million doses at the request of African officials. But that supply is only temporary. Another problem is that the vaccine must be kept extremely cold.Now, the nonprofit Global Alliance for Livestock Veterinary Medicines is trying to expand production and lower the cost. GALVmed spokesman Hameed Nuru says mobile phones have helped lower some barriers to distribution. "They now call the delivery agent who can now come and meet them at a particular place and do the vaccination for them."The vaccine is not cheap. But the herders get together to sell a bull and use the money to vaccinate all their animals. They understand that they are getting value for their money.11. What do we know about “East Coast fever” from this text?A. It’s a disease mainly among cows.B. Calves are more likely to survive it.C. It’s a disease among animals and humans.D. It’ll soon be spread to all over the world.12. How do the researchers deal with East Coast fever according to the text?A. They bought medicines against it.B. They used a kind of parasites to treat it.C. They made a kind of antibiotics for it.D. They developed a vaccine against it.13. How could the farmers get the vaccine according to the text?A. They are all given the vaccine for free.B. They need to buythe vaccine themselves.C. They could make the vaccine themselves.D. They need to place an order in advance.14. Why is it difficult for farmers to get the vaccine?A. The researchers do not have enough money to produce it.B. To transport the vaccine to the rural areas is a big problem.C. The vaccine is more and more expensive for farmers to afford.D. The supply of vaccine is not enough with storage another problem.15. From this text, we know ______.A. farmers in northern Tanzania live a better life thanks to the vaccineB. up to now one million doses of the vaccine has been madeC. the GALVmed has made great money by producing the vaccineD. mobiles phones helped farmers get the vaccine in time but cost more 语言知识点滴积累New wordsNew phrasesNew sentences参考答案。

Both of their DNA burns with competitive fire. Satin has held the distinction for years of being a hot tempered player on Court. When he lost his temper, he would break a racket（球拍）. Safina is as emotionally explosive as her brother. A headline in the newspaper The Australian once described her as "mad as a snake". The Sydney Morning Herald, during the Australian Open, summed up Safina's volatile（不稳定的）emotional state with the headline: "Satina goes from basket case to top of the world."It's not rare for a family to have two top tennis players. Safina's father owns a tennis academy and her mother worked as a coach. "I had no choice but to become a tennis player, but I don't mind being a tennis player," Safina said.From this talented family she is also given one of her best weapons on court, her size.

After she won this year's Australian Open, Dinara Safina cried.C. Too nervous at first, but Safina finally gained confidence and won.D.

Fine qualities help to make a top player, counting hard work.BIn far northern Mongolia, the living of the smallest ethnic group in the country—the Tsaatan community depends on a kind of animalreindeer. An American named Morgan Keay visited the Tsaatan community when she was studying in Mongolia in 2002. Local leaders told her that the animals were not healthy and the number of reindeer was. getting too small to support the community.Back in the United States, Morgan Keay and a friend who had also studiedin Mongolia started an organization. They named it Itgelthe Mongolian word for "hope".The Itgel Foundation has helped bring foreign scientists to Mongolia to research and treat reindeer diseases. They also helped Tsaatan workers build a community and visitor center. The building includes guest rooms for tourists. The Tsaatan not only work as guides, they now provide services for travelers. The community works in partnership with international tour operators, who had formerly been in control of the services.People in the community designed the center, which they also own and manage. Before the visitor center was built, families earned an average of 100 dollars a year. Now Morgan Keay says the average is 3 to 4 times that. Money also goes into a community account.Four years ago the Tsaatan had fewer than 500 reindeer. Now the herd has already reached 900.Morgan Keay says the Tsaatan are becoming economically independent for the first time.The Mongolian government is now considering a development plan written by the community that deals with education, health, the environment and economics.61.

They make too much noise in shopping malls; they drive carelessly up and down America’s main streets. And at least some of the time those things are true. But we shouldn’t forget that the re are hard moments in the life of a teenager too.I watched such a moment not long ago at a woman’s funeral〔葬礼〕 which happened in a church. A teenage grandson stepped forward. Softly he began:“I want to share a few values that Nana taught me. She never failed to see light in any situation. When our family d og would attack her, what would Nana say? ‘Oh, what beautiful markings that dog has.’ That was Nana.“She was a strong woman who often lived in the shadow of my grandpa, who was a successful businessman in this city. But she was the one behind the scenes who provided the strength and support for Grandpa’s career,〞 he said, with a voice now trembling. “T hat was Nana’s way.〞 Finally, in a voice breaking free of sorrow, he looked up and said, “Nana taught me courage. She put up a fight to the end, when she died peacefully, which is how she lived her life. That was Nana’s way, and I hope I can carry on in the same manner.〞There are no hearts as sensitive〔敏感的〕 as those of teenagers, because everything is happening to them for the first time. The trouble with teenagers is that they haven’t learned to be controlled. When that boy rose to speak about the woman who had been his dearest friend, his honest voice dragged each of us out into the open where we could no longer hide. I was moved and learned a lot.21.

But Compaq was forced to withdraw(收回)the offer when an important detail about Eisenherg was discovered: he was just 14. Two years later, Eisenberg now runs his own technical support company, F1 Computer, “I might be interested in getting a job in a few years, after college,”he says. “But this is just right for me now.” Eisenberg is among an increasing number of teenagers who are running their own computer-related businesses--and, for the most part, being successful at it. "Many kids in suburban homes have grown up operating very powerful computers, so technology is second nature to them in a way that it's not to many adults," says Gene Depose, president of a high tech research firm based in New York.Danny Kalmick, the 14-year-old president of Kalmick & Co. Computing took his first step toward becoming a neighborhood computer expert at age 11, when he broke down his first PC (a 486/DX2) to inspect its motherboard (主板). When neighbors called him for computer advice a year later, Kalmick saw a business opportunity. So he printed up business cards, and took out an ad in a neighborhood telephone book. He now has about 10 regular clients, works 6 to 10 hours a week, and earns $ 20 an hour solving tech problems.Low prices are usually an advantage in the marketplace, but so is age. Many young business people argue: Kids aren't as frightening to work with as their more senior adults. “We're professional, of course, but we are just kids, and people feel like they can talk with us and ask us what ever they want without being embarrassed,” says Charles Ross, 18, vice president of a Web services company that develops marketing sites for local businesses. Ross runs the firm with his twin brother, James, and their friend Matthew Baylis, 17. “Beside, a lot of our clients tell us that they would rather work with us because we've grown up with the technology and have a solid handle on it.”21. The title of the passage “Mini Computer Capitalists" refers to ______.A. young computer business peopleB. new kinds of computer companiesC. expensive, high-tech inventionsD. very small high-speed computers22.

Allie，a Roslyn High School freshman , agrees that bake sales are needed for school supplies.“l think it’s wrong for schools to ban bake sales because a lot of schools need the money to be raised. Our school could really use the money for new uniforms.”Allie also commented on the bake sales apparent cause of child overweight. “I fe el that it is the student’s choice to eat the baked goods. lf they want it, let them have it．”Jessica，another Roslyn High School freshman, had a different opinion.“I feel that children can not always stay away from items such as cupcakes. It might be better if the amount of bake sales were limited, and only allowed students to buy one item.”New York Education advisors are having trouble coming up with substitute product for students to sell. A plan of advertising healthier foods has come into play. However the department needs to consider if students will go for items like vegetables. Allie and Jessica don’t think so.“Students might not like the healthier foods. This way, the schools are gaining less money.”Allie shares. Another plan to think about is the idea of not selling food products altogether. Alternate programs are being conducted throughout New York schools，such as walk-a-thons, as a healthy way for students to earn money for their schools．21．The new “wellness”policy is declared in order to_______．A. help schools out of budget difficultiesB. reduce child overweight caused by bake foodC. help students save money spent on foodD. reduce the price of bake food sold in schools22. Which of the following statement about Allie is true?A. He is rich in experience about the bake sales at schoo1.B. He agrees to carry out the bake sales ban at schools.C. He attaches great importance to the school’s income.D. He attaches too much importance to students’health.23. According to Jessica, the cupcakes____________A. don’t belong to the bake salesB. shouldn’t be banned at schoolC. mustn’t be sold at schoolsD. can be fully replaced by vegetables24. Which is both healthy and profitable way for schools to earn money?A. The bake sales.B. The vegetables salesC. The walk-a-thons.D. The food product sales．25.

Soon the shoes will have new owners: under privileged children in the United States and 20 other countries, thanks to Woodburn’s Share Our Soles( SOS) charity.A high school track star in the beach town of Ventura, Woodburn was once sidelined for months with foot injuries.“I started thinking about all the things I got from running---the health benefits, the friendships，the confidence,”he says.“And I realized there are children who don’t even have shoes.” Woodburn gathered up his own slightly worn sneakers，then put out a call to teammates．His goal was to have 100 pairs by Christmas ．When the count climbed to more than 500 pairs, (“everything snowballed,”he says) he decided to turn the shoe drive into a year-round effort.Back then, the sneakers came from donation boxes and the local sporting goods store and from door-to-door pickups. Woodburn has now set up collection boxes at two high schools and area races. To date, SOS has collected and donated more than 3000 pairs.In just under three years，Woodburn has started three chapters of Share Our Soles：the original in Ventura, another at USC ,and one at the College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts last January，when a student there wrote asking to get involved．The organization’s website, , keeps and distributes sneakers and sells wrist bands and socks(the money earned from that goes toward new shoes and socks for children)．26.

On the contrary, a lack of such playin g can create stress for both children and parents, and it also cause obesity (肥胖) when children spend too much time sitting in front of educational videos. The report notes lack of playing could even lead to depression in many children.The reports thinks the lack of playtime lies in the fact that parents want to have super – smartchildren and safe places for children to play is decreasing. A balance between free playing and education activates should be struck, the report sates.“In the current environmen t, where so many parents feel pressure to be super parents, I believe this message is an important one,” said Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg, the report’s lead author and a pediatrician (小儿科医师) at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.Noted pediatrician, author, and presenter of cable TV’s “What Every Baby Knows,” DR. T. Betty Brazeltion agreed. Children with structured activities are missing the chance to dream, to make their own world work the way they want it. That to me is a very important part of childhood. 21．From the passage we can see that today’s children really need more .A．enrichment activities B．conventional playtimeC．structured activities D．educational activities22．Which of the following is a proper word to describe today’s children?A．Dull.

Russia and the US, the only two countries to have achieved manned flight, are struggling to keep their new investment, the international space station.But China, which has a long tradition in physics, mathematics and engineering, finds its doctoral graduates welcomed in the US and Europe for decades. And it has been able to learn from 40 years of pioneering successes and mistakes by the USSR and the USA.Space flight is a gamble and the stakes (赌注) are high. If successful, China could become a member of the world's most exclusive club, set up a second home on the moon and get a powerful hand at the strategic bargaining table.Two designers from the Shenzhou III project said that 12 astronauts now are undergoing intensive training. One more unmanned space flight is planned before the first manned launch.Experts say that the Shenzhou spacecraft already provides China with a space vehicle capable of mounting（发起）a lunar program.
