He appeared in more than 800 commercials (商业广告) for the hamburger chain named for his daughter. “As long as it works," he said in 1991, “I'll continue to do those commercials."Even though he was successful, Thomas remained troubled by his childhood. “He still won't let anyone see his feet, which are out of shape because he never had proper fitting shoes," Wendy said in 1993. Born to a single mother, he was adopted(收养) as a baby by Rex and Auleva Thomas of Kalamazoo in Michigan. After Auleva died when he was 5, Thomas spent years on the road as Rex traveled around seeking construction work. “He fed me," Thomas said, “and if I got out of line, he'd beat me."Moving out on his own at 15, Thomas worked, first as a waiter, in many restaurants. But he had something much better in mind. “I thought if I owned a restaurant," he said, “I could eat for free." A 1956 meeting with Harland Sanders led Thomas to a career as the manager of a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant that made him a millionaire in 1968.In 1969, after breaking with Sanders, Thomas started the first Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers, in Columbus, Ohio, which set itself apart by serving made to order burgers. With 6,000 restaurants worldwide, the chain now makes $ 6 billion a year in sales.Although troubled by his own experience with adoption, Thomas, married since 1954 to Lorraine, 66, and with four grown kids besides Wendy, felt it could offer a future for other children. He started the Dave Thomas Foundation (基金会) for Adoption in 1992.In 1993, Thomas, who had left school at 15, graduated from Coconut Creek High School in Florida. He even took Lorraine to the graduation dance party. The kids voted him Most Likely to Succeed.“The Dave you saw on TV was the real Dave," says friend Pat Williams. “He wasn't a great actor or a great speaker. He was just Joe Everybody."61. What is the article mainly about?A. The life of Dave Thomas.B. The dream of Dave Thomas.C. The schooling of Dave Thomas.D. The growth of Dave Thomas's business.62.

While wet weather may make us feel gloomy, it sharpens the memory and improves our recall. But those who feel in a good mood because it’s a sunny day are able to remember less well, according to memory tests carried by Australian researchers.Professor Joe Forgas, who led the research, said: “It seems strange but a little bit of sadness is a good thing. People performed much better on our memory test when the weather was unpleasant and they were in a slightly negative mood. On bright sunnydays, when they were more likely to be happy, they flunked it.”The tests were carried out on shoppers at a store in Sydney, where researchers randomly placed ten small objects on the check-out counter. On rainy days, sad music was played in the store. When it was bright and sunny, customers heard cheery music. This was done to further influence them towards negative or positive moods. After shopping, customers were asked how many of the objects they could remember. Their scores were three times higher when the weather was bad and they were feeling angry, compared with those tested on sunny days. The results were published in Journal of Experimental Psychology. A report on the findings said: “They point to a growing body of evidence that the way people think, the quality of their judgments and the accuracy of their memory are all significantly influenced by positive and negative moods.”Professor Forgas said, “We found that weather-inducted negative mood improved memory accuracy. Shoppers in a negative mood showed better memory and higher discrimination ability.”A worse mood helped to focus people’s attention on their surroundings and led to a more thorough and careful thinking style, while happiness increased confidence and forgetfulness.Being happy tends to promote a thinking style that is less focused on our surroundings. In a positive mood we are less likely to make more snap (匆忙的) judgments about people we meet. Mild negative mood, in turn, tends to increase attention to our surroundings and produce a more careful, thorough thinking style.Accurately remembering everyday scenes is a difficult task, yet such memories can be on importance in everyday life. Surprisingly, the influence of mood states on the accuracy of real-life memories is still poorly understood.66. What’s the major function of Paragraph 1?A. To attract readers’ interest.B. To introduce the theme of the whole passage.C. To generalize the whole passage.D. To describe a memorable experience.67. The underlined word “flunked” in Paragraph2 may mean “__________ ”.A. conductedB. failedC. passedD. understood68. In the research, researchers play different music to __________ .A. make customers become sadder or happierB. help customers choose what they wantC. promote customers to buy more goodsD. get customers to make a quick choice69. According to the research, on sunny days, people __________ .A. will make careful judgments on othersB. tend to pay more attention to their surroundingsC. will have more confidenceD. will have a better recall70. What can we know from the research?A. Forgetfulness is rather troublesome.B. It’s i mportant to feel in a good mood.C. It’s memorable to experience a rainy day.D. Gloomy days are good for memorizing things.PART FOUR WRITING (45 marks)SECTION A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.Since it was founded a year ago, the babysitting pool has become increasingly popular in the United States. More and more mothers have joined it and have benefited from it. What attracts them most is the idea that you pay your babysitter not in cash, but in paper cards. When you join the babysitting pool, you are given thirty cards, which areworth 30-minute babysitting time each. For each half an hour while you are gone, the babysitter gets paid one card.There are rules regulating this service. You should not watch more than three kids at a time including your own. On big holidays, such as Christmas and Thanksgiving, the babysitter should be paid twice as much, which means two cards for every half an hour. When you leave the babysitting pool, you should return all the cards. If you are out of cards, you cannot use money instead. You should have to baby-sit for others to earn enough cards so that you will have them handy when you yourself need a babysitter.The advantages this mutual-babysitting service has over other kinds of babysitting is that it keeps children in constant touch with one another, and makes life easier for the mothers. Since in most cases, the babysitter is the mother who watches other kids at her own home, it is still possible for her to do her own things while the kids play with each other. In fact most mother babysitters find that their own kids are less of a monster and easier to watch when they are around other playmates. Moreover, since the babysitting pool service does not involve money, it will not be a financial loss to the family.In the past year, the babysitting pool has helped so many mothers with their work that they all think that it is indeed a good community service worth keeping.SECTION B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart(购物手推车). They will, in a lifetime, push the chrome-plated contraptions many miles. But few will know—or even think to ask—who it was that invented them.Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging(吃力地携带) groceries around in baskets they had to carry.One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. Thewheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention.But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try.After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts. “Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?” one shopper replied.But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony(假冒的)customers.As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come—those who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model. Perhaps that’s one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937—before the coming of the shopping cart. 81. What do the underlined words “chrome-plate contraptions” in Paragraph 1 refer to ?( no more than 3 words)82. What was the purpose of Goldman’s invention? (no more than 8 words)83. Why was Goldman disappointed at first? (no more than 6 words)84. Why did Goldman hire people to push carts around his market? (no more than 10 words)SECTION C (25 marks)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese.假如你班要就“如何为高考作准备”开一个班会，请你写一篇发言稿，谈谈你认为在高考备考过程中要注意的事项（三条以上）及理由：注意: 1. 词数120以上，开头已为你写好(不计入总词数)；2. 参考词汇：明确的definite (adj.) 评价estimation (n.)No doubt every Senior 3 student wishes to be successful in the National College EntranceExamination.____________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ _____________________________醴陵二中、醴陵四中2011届高三上学期期中考试联考英语试卷参考答案1—5 BCACC 6—10 ACABB 11—15 ACCAB16.

Each word or phrase can only be used once.

British psychologists reported last week.Researchers at UK’s Newcastle University set up an experiment in their psychology department’s coffee room. They set a kettle, with tea, coffee and milk on the counter and hung up a sign listing the __42__ for drinks. People helping themselves to a cup of tea were supposed to put a few cents in the box nearly. The scientists hung a poster above the moneybox, and alternated each week between images of __43__eyes and pictures of flowers.The researchers found that staff paid 2.76 times__44__ for their drinks when the images of the eyes was hung. “__ 45__ we were shocked by the size of the effect,〞said Gilbert Roberts, one of the researchers.Eyes are known to be a powerful perceptual signal for humans, scientists say.“__46__ the eyes were not real, they still seemed to make people behave more honestly,〞said Melissa Bateson, a behavioral biologist and leader to the study.“There’s __47__ that if nobody is watch ing us, it is in our interests to behave selfishly. But when we’re being watched we should behave better. So people see us as co-operative and behave the __48__ way towards us,〞Bateson said.The new finding indicates that people have a striking __49__ to eyes. That might be because eyes and faces send a strong biological signal, Bateson said.III Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.

A. produce B. find C. get D. helpSection BDirections: Read the following passage. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)In different countries around the world, people become “adults〞at different ages. Being an adult means having the right to do certain things such as vote, get married, or get a license to drive. It also means accepting the responsibilities that accompany these rights.In many countries, sixteen or eighteen is the age at which a person becomes an adult. Young men and women at this age can get a part- time job, and begin to receive an income of their own. In many parts of North America, sixteen is also the age when one can obtain a driver’s license; in England, it is seventeen.There are responsibilities that go along with both of these rights. Getting a part-time job means that you have to pay income tax. Driving a car demands that you follow certain rules and regulations such as getting and paying for insurance to drive.Voting is another right that marks the passage into adulthood for many young people. In the United States, Canada, and the U.K., young people have the right to vote at the age of eighteen. With this right also comes responsibility. For young people to use their right to vote wisely, they must have an understanding of the needs of society, and they must also learn how politics works.A group of teenagers in Canada want the Canadian voting laws changed. They think the people should be able to vote at the age of sixteen. They argue that if teenagers at sixteen are old enough to get a part-time job, pay taxes, and drive, they are also old enough to vote in elections.An organization in the U.S. believes that the government should allow its citizens the greatest amount of freedom possible ----- as long as this doesn’t jeopardize thepublic’s safety. This organization believes that all laws based on age should be eliminated, and that people should be able to get a part-time job, a driver’s license, get married, and vote at any age.Not everyone would agree that it is a good idea to give all of these rights---- and the responsibilities that accompany them ----- to people when they are too young. The question is, how young is too young?65. The passage is mainly about _____.A. when young people can get married.B. the age when people have certain adult rightsC. how old someone must be in order to voteD. what responsibility an adult must bear66. What an adult has the right to do among the following is to _____.A. get a part time jobB. get a passportC. give the vote only for the president of the countryD. observe the law67. The underlined word jeopardize in the last two paragraph but one means ____.A. maintainB. provideC. guaranteeD. harm68. The reason why a person who is too young cannot enjoy the adult rights is possibly that ____.A. people are of the same about how old is old enoughB. people agree upon how young is too youngC. he cannot bear the responsibilities that accompany the rights he hasD. he can perform the adult rights as well as adults(B)There is a lot riding on China’s Shenzhou VI and it’s not just the two brave astronauts. The government has invested a great deal of money and reputation into its space program and they are hoping it will pay both economic and political interests.Economic growth to continueChina’s economic growth, so far, has been the result of manufacturing. The government knows that for growth to continue, China must become a technological nation and not just a place to make cheap clothes for export. There are many bright young Chinese scientists and engineers and there are more being graduated every year. This is a tremendous resource for the country. By investing in the space program, China will be able to use that talent and, hopefully, develop other technologies that are “spin-offs〞(business that are not directly related to space) from the program.A clear new image to the worldGoing to space is raising China’s outline in the world. Everyone is aware of the economic miracle that has taken place here but they are still unclear about the country’s image. Is it the “old〞China or t he “new〞China ? Is it the old isolated Middle Kingdom or the new, 56-year-old people’s republic? Shooting people to space and, perhaps, landing on the moon in a few years are ways to show that China is a new country, a young country with a lot of energy and a lot of faith in the future.So far, China has boldly gone where others have gone before, but Shenzhou VI and all the missions that follow are a wonderful, even heroic cause and something all Chinese and the whole world can be proud of.69. It can be i nferred from China’s space program that ______.A. China is the richest country in the worldB. the success of its space program will help China enjoy a higher reputation in the worldC. a country can be very famous only by sending men onto its space programD. China has invested a great deal of money into space program70. The underlined word “This〞in the second paragraph refer to “_____〞.A. bright young scientists and engineersB. cheap clothesC. school graduatesD. both A and C71. It is implied, but not stated, that _____ in the last two paragraphs.A. China is a young country because its history is not longB. shooting people into space is a new thingC. the great power of a country can be revealed by landing on the moonD. everyone in the world wants to be proud of China(C)There is a website called the “World Database of happiness.〞It combines and analyzes the results of hundreds of survey from around the world that have been conducted on life satisfaction. Most of the findings are predictable, but a few are surprising.The database makes it clear that there is not a strong connection between material wealth and general contentment. It is a cliché(陈词滥调) to say that money can’t buy happiness, but the old saying seems to be supported by research. Most people still cling to the belief that gaining riches will be the answer to all their problems, and yet they are probably mistaken.Studies have been carried out on people who acquired sudden wealth, such as lottery winners. In most cases, after initial joy had worn off, people were not left with a sense of lasting happiness. In fact, they tended to return to the way they felt before they became rich. Previously contented people continue to be contented while those who were miserable before sinking back into misery.If material wealth doesn’t bring happiness, then what does? As is shown in the following table, perhaps happiness has something to do with where you live.Index of Happiness ----- Unhappy-happy (1-10)Other surveys point to the importance of relationships. Family relationships in particular seem to be the key to long-term contentment.Nowadays people look to technology as an alternative source of satisfaction. People increasingly spend more time alone watching TV or surfing the Internet rather spending time with family. Can technology truly make people happy? It is too difficult to tell, but one thing is sure : If the website’s research is accurate, time spent with your family is better investment than time spent making money.72. What belief do many people usually hold?A. That old sayings support research.B. That they will win much money from lottery.C. That the database is on the Internet.D. That getting rich will solve all their problems.73. According to the article, what often happens after people win the lottery?A. They buy a lot of expensive things.B. They s how off their money and don’t talk to their poor friends any more.C. They are initially joyful, but then return to the way they felt before.D. They become miserable and wish they had won much more money.74. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the article?A. People in different countries enjoy different levels of happiness.B. Spending time with your family is most likely the way of finding happiness.C. Surfing the Internet will bring you long-term happiness.D. Material wealth doesn’t neces sarily mean real happiness.75. The “World Database of Happiness〞shows us the information which is ____.A. disturbing and outdatedB. predictable and surprisingC. miserable but trueD. accurate and consistentSection CChoose the most suitable heading from this list for each paragraph of the text. Note that there is one extra heading.76. ___________It’s easy to forget how many changes there have been over the past 50 years. A survey of young people around the world looked at the attitudes of today’s teenagers and shows how different they to those of their parents and grandparents. The survey wanted to try and understand the next generation of adults better and these are some of the results. They show that there are many more similarities between young people around the world than differences.77. __________Television, mobile phone s, computers and the Internet have encouraged today’s teenagers’ enthusiasm for new technology as never before. Most teenagers are much more knowledgeable than their parents at using the latest equipment. Youth is very much electronic and is often leading the way in new developments.78. ____________Many adults today consider the younger generation fairly unaware of world politics. However, in addition to having high regard for sporting stars such as David Beckham, they also have respect for world leaders such as Nelson Mandela.79. __________Gap years between school and university are becoming more and more common. Today’s teenagers want to travel to different countries and experience different cultures. They see this as an important part of their character development.80. __________For the majority of teenagers, family and friends are the most important aspect of life. The survey found that 60 per cent of British young people said their relationship with their family was of the highest importance to them.Section DDirections: Read the passages carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time. If corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the sam e way, children learn to do all the other things: they learn to do without being taught to walk, run climb, whistle, ride a bike, compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, and how to know what they know or do not know.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by _______.82. What does the writer think teachers should not do right away when children have made mistakes?83. What should teachers in school allow children to do?84. The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are______.第二卷I.
