AAmericans are pound of their variety- and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform. whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian (百姓的) clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity (身份) than to step out of uniform ?Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax- deductible ( 可减税的). They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.26 It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality ___________.A. still judge a man by his clothesB. hold the uniform in such high regardC. enjoy having a professional identityD. will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform27. People are accustomed to thinking that a man in uniform ____________.A. suggests quality workB. discards his social identityC. appears to be more practicalD. looks superior to a person in civilian clothes28. The chief function of a uniform is to ___________.A. provide practical benefits to the wearerB. make the wearer catch the public eyeC. inspire the wearer's confidence in himselfD. provide the wearer with a professional identity29. According to the passage, people wearing uniforms _____________.A. are usually helpfulB. have little or no individual freedomC. tend to lose their individualityD. enjoy greater popularity30. The best title for this passage would be ____________.A. Uniforms and SocietyB. The Importance of Wearing a UniformC. Practical Benefits of Wearing a UniformD. Advantages and Disadvantages of UniformsBOne summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency. You know, you would be submerged (淹没) in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more closely. We started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of Italy.The trip was not very long but it was still very impressive. We look forward to going there again! Of course, we spent lots of time arranging the trip, but it was well worth it! Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially anxious about my visa, but everything went quite smoothly in the end.The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation. In the Italian consulate(领事馆), one must hand in some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in order to get the visa. Then we had to solve the ticket problem. Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance. The next step was to book a hotel. We finally booked a hotel about thirty km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip.Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome. Our big house, which was surrounded by the forest, was a rare girl for the fresh air and absolute silence, beautiful views, hospitable (好客的) hosts, comfortable living conditions delighted us to no end. Besides this, we were very lucky that our mistress was Russian. She gave us a lot of advice that was of great use. She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go.Don’t be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself. It’s not difficult! The only thing I'll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves. We walked with a map and a guide-book to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the way just two or three times. So, if you're also planning a "single" trip, don't forget to take a Russian-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue.31. Why does the author want to go to Italy again?A. He had a great time there.B. Italy has a lot of attractions.C. His friend invited him there.D. He didn't stay in Italy long enough.32. What does the author think was the hardest in preparing for his Italian trip?A. Buying cheap airline tickets to Italy before the travelingB. Getting a visa without an invitation from the Italian consulate.C. Booking a comfortable hotel on his own in Rome.D. Solving the ticket problem far in advance.33. In the fourth paragraph the author mainly explainsA. the reason why he chose to live in the center of RomeB. the reason why the hotel he booked was the right choiceC. what transport they chose to travel in their Italian tripD. the reason why the mistress gave them some advice34. Which of the following questions has NOT been answered in the passage?A. Why did the author decide to go to Italy for a holiday for the first time?B. Why did the author decide not to follow a travel agency?C. How did the author prepare for his trip?D. What tools did the author use for his traveling?35. From the text we can know the authorA. enjoys traveling everywhere in the worldB. likes being accompanied by tour guidesC. advises us to arrange trips by ourselvesD. met with a lot of his countrymen in ItalyCDriving to a friend's house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s rooftops. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it was that most city people? Myself included? Usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fibre-glass. We have televisions, cell phones, pagers, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers.Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I thought: before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains And perhaps write, but not in anger. I may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon.36.The best title for the passage would be______.A. Touched by the moonB. The pleasures of modern lifeC. A bottomless well of silenceD. Break away from modern life37. The writer felt sorry for himself because________.A. there was too many pollutionB. he failed to see the fullest moonC. he didn’t adapt t o modern inventionsD. there were too accidents on the road38. What impressed the writer most in the mountainous jungle of northern India?A. No modern equipmentB. Complete silence.C. The nice moonlightD. The high mountains39. Modern things (Paragraph 4) are mentioned mainly to______.A. show that the writer likes city life very muchB. tell us that people greatly benefit from modern lifeC. explain that people have less chances to enjoy natureD. show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them40. The author wrote the passage to_______.A. express the feeling of returning to natureB. show the love for the moonlightC. advise modern people to learn to liveD. want to communicate longing for modern lifeDI want to talk about a soldier. I saw him yesterday as my husband and I were enjoying a wonderful lunch in the cave-like dining room of an old hotel.It is hard to imagine being comfortable in a room that probably seats a thousand, but the real magic of the place is its wonderful setting. Every comer is a wood and stone masterpiece, with high glass windows that look out to the huge cliffs (悬崖) of the valley.A man entered with his family and took a seat. He wasn't in uniform, but he walked with the dignity of a soldier, and a slight limp (瘸). My suspicion was confirmed when he removed his hat and placed it on the table where I could see it. Embroidered (绣) on the cap were the words: "Iwo Jima Survivor".As they were waiting for lunch, the others talking happily, this gentleman was stating out of the window. He was content to be left out of the conversation and allowed to take in the wonderful and impressive view of the waterfall.I watched him, and imagined how much horror he had seen in the war. What losses did he suffer, and how many friends did he lose? What he had witnessed should have given him a good reason to lose faith in the world. Yet this tired soldier was smiling at the sky, at the sun and the roaring of the waterfall. Somehow, after everything, the world was still beautiful to him.I walked over to him and said, "Excuse me, sir. I'm sorry to interrupt, but I saw your hat, and I just wanted to say thank you for serving."He looked up at me, surprised, and said proudly, "You're welcome, and thank you, too."I told him I would go home and tell my children about this experience that I'd met him.41. The place where the author enjoyed lunch was __A. only open to people of the upper classesB. once visited by many famous peopleC. attractive because of its beautiful surroundingsD. modeled on scenes from American history42. What confirmed the author’s suspicion that the man was a soldier?A. The words on his cap.B. The way he sat.C. His disability.D. The way he walked.43. What do we learn from the passage?A. The author at first thought the gentleman was famous.B. The gentleman stood out because of his uniform.C. The gentleman’s family didn’t like to talk with him.D. The gentleman wasn’t expecting the author to thank him.44. What encouraged the author to talk to the soldier?A. His disability.B. His loneliness.C. His contribution to his country.D. His bravery to fight in the war.45. What is the author’s attitude towards the soldier?A. Admiring.B. Satisfied.C. Sympathetic.D. Doubtful.26-30 BADCD 31-35 ABBAC 36—40 ABCCA 41—45 CADCAA篇答案:文章第一段提出制服在美国受欢迎的现象,第二段说了一个主要论点——制服的好处,第三段说的是实际好处,第四段说的是反对的论点——制服的缺点,第五段说的是实际问题:26.答案是B.第一段第一句yet转折后面就是答案:Hold...in regard和respect是同义转换:27.答案是A 答案对应在第二段,People ...expect superior quality...。

浙大附中丁兰2020学年第二学期高一英语限时练第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分30分第一节(共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑In my hometown, Oklahoma, the dirt goes everywhere. When my sister, Faye, and I walk to school, we cover our mouths so we don’t breathe in the dirt. Mama says all the dust is due to the drought.Last Sunday, there was no dirt in the air, only bright spring sunshine and a clear blue sky. After church, Papa went to the field to check on the cattle while Mama started dinner. Faye and I played in the yard. Then the temperature suddenly dropped, and Mama shouted from the house, “Iris, you and Faye get inside, real quick now!”I looked to the west and saw a huge black cloud of dust. “Faye, go with Mama!” I shouted. “I will warn Papa.” Faye ran towa rd the house. The storm hit so fast that the day turned into night in an instant. Covering my face with one hand, I struggled my way toward our family car and got in. Papa was still out there! I needed to help him find the car. I turned on the front lights, but would Papa see them in the thick darkness? I pushed the horn(喇叭) again and again, hoping Papa would hear it.Suddenly, to my great surprise and relief, Papa’s face appeared at the window. He opened the door and climbed onto the seat next to me. Af ter Papa shut off the car’s lights, we huddled together in the darkness for hours. I worried the dirt would bury us.Finally, the wind subsided and the dust began to settle. We got out and reached the front porch just as Mama and Faye came out from the house.“I’m safe thanks to Iris,” Papa said. “The car’s horn led me to shelter.”“I’m so proud of you,” Mama said to me.Tears of joy streamed down my dirty cheeks because our family had survived the horrible storm.21. When the storm struck, Iris went to the car to_______.A. direct her papa to shelterB. turn to her papa for helpC. warn her papa of the stormD. pick up her papa in the field22. The underlined word “subsided” paragraph probably mean________.A. got upB. died downC. went onD. came along23. What is the best title for the text?A. Love for PapaB. Rescue on black SundayC. Drought in Oklahoma.D. Papa trapped in the stormBI’m not so sure I like my friends any more. I used to lik e them--to be honest. We’d have lunch, talk on the phone or exchange emails, and they all seemed normal enough. But then came Facebook, and I was introduced to a sad fact. Many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me.Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via Facebook. No longer hidden, they’re thrown in my face like TV commercials-unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities.Take Fred. If you were to have lunch with him, you’d find him warm, and self-effacing(谦逊的). Read his Facebook and you’ll realize he’s an unbearable, food-obsessed boring man. He’d pause to have cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man-and then write about it.Take Andy. You won’t find a smarter CEO anywhere, but now he’s a CEO without a company to run. So he plays Mafia Wars on Facebook. He’s doing well-level 731. Thanks to Facebook, I know he’s playing about 18 hours a day. Andy, you’ve run four companies-and this is how you spend your downtime? What happened to golf? What happened to getting another job?Take Liz. She is positive that the flu vaccine will kill us all and that we should avoid it. And then comes Chris who likes to post at least 20 times a day on every website he can find, so I get to read his thoughts twice, once on Facebook and once on Twitter.In real life, I don’t see these sides of people. Face to face, my friends show me their best. They’re nice, smart people. But face to Facebook, my friends are like a blind date which goes horribly wrong.I’m left with a dilemma. Who is my real friend? Is it the Liz I have lunch with or the anti-vaccine mad woman on Facebook? Is it the Fred I can grab a sandwich with or the Fred who weeps if he’s at a party and the wine isn’t u p to his standards?24. What’s Andy probably busy in doing now?A. He’s running his company.B. He’s playing golf all day.C. He’s looking for another job.D. He’s playing computer games.25. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “________”.A. a dilemmaB. my real friendC. FacebookD. Twitter26. The text is developed mainly by________.A. giving examplesB. following the time orderC. listing figuresD. raising questionsCWriting articles about films for The Front Page was my first proper job. Before then I had done bits of reviewing novels for other newspapers, films for a magazine and anything I was asked to do for the radio. That was how I met Tom Seaton, the first arts editor of The Front Page, who had written for television. He employed me, but Tom was not primarily a reporter, or he would certainly have been more careful in choosing his staff.At first, his idea was that team of critics(评论家) should take care of the art forms that didn’t require specialized(专业的) knowledge: books, TV, theatre, film and radio. There would be a weekly lunch at which we would make our choices from the artistic material that Tom had decided we should cover though there would also be guests to make the atmosphere sociable.Tom’s original plan for team of critics for the arts never took off. It was a good idea, but we didn’t get together as planned and so everything was done by phone. It turned out, too, that the general public out there preferred to connect a reviewer with a single subject area, and so I chose film. Without Tom’s beginning push, though, we would hardly have come up with the present arrangement, by which I write a weekly piece, usually on one film.This way of working suits me well. I wouldn’t have been interested in the more standard film critic’s role, which includes considering every film that comes out. That’s a routine(惯例)that would make me bored in no time at all. The space I am given allows me to broaden my argument——or forces me, in an uninteresting week, to make something out of nothing. But what is my role in the public scene? I think that people should choose what films to go to on the basis of the stars, the publicity or the director. There is also such a thing as loyalty(忠诚) to “type” or its opposite. It can only rarely happen that someone who hates westerns buys a ticket for on after reading a review, or a love story addict avoids a romantic film because of what the papers say.So if a film review isn’t really a consumer guide, what is it? I certainly don’t feel I have a responsibility to “right” about a movie. Nor do think there should be a certain number of “great” and “bad” films each year. All I have to do is put forward an argument. I’m not a judge, and nor would I want to be. 27. What can we learn about Tom Senton from the first paragraph?A. He encouraged the author to become a writer.B. He had worked in various media.C. He met the author when working for television.D. He prefers to employ people that he knows.28. Why were the weekly lunches planned?A. To help the writers get to know each other.B. To carry out the work that had to be done.C. To provide an informal information meeting.D. To entertain important visitors from the arts.29. What can be i nferred from paragraph 4 about the author’s articles?A. They are seldom read by readers.B. They are more persuasive than expected.C. They are ignored by stars and film directors.D. They have little effect on public viewing habits.30. What does the author think of his work?A. He should distinguish good films from bad ones.B. He prefers to write about film is he likes.C. He can freely express his opinions.D. He writes according to accepted rules. 第二节(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

Associated with B. decorated with C. thought to D. took to二、阅读理解A“Only in a few years you’ll be an adult!” This statement is usually by adults with a wink at my mother. I usually take “the wink(眨眼)” to mean “or at least that’s what she thinks, right?” It’s true that in two years I’ll be 18, and that will make me legally an adult. But it’s also just a number. It doesn’t come with a fantastic moment when you know all the adults are supposed to know what to do. It doesn’t make responsibilities easier. It just makes it legal for you to enter online sweepstakes(彩票)and work at Walmart.This thought all started back in July when my friend, Dakota, officially flew outof military basic training in Oklahoma. He’s 17. Not an adult by the legal definition, but making a very adult decision. He can’t rent a movie from most places, but he can defend our country. I didn’t realize how much his actual departure would affect me and the way I viewed growing up and when i t actually starts.My best friend Madeline is now studying psychology in London. She’s 18. She has been working pretty hard to get the perfect grades. Now, she’s living on her own, doing little things that make her, in my eyes, an adult, and is in complete control of her personal life. I have a basic idea of how a loan works, and apply for one like her? Forget it. I haven’t even had a credit card until now.My other friends are growing up around me, making decisions that will affect the rest of their lives. Where do I fit in? My life is so different form the standard; it’s hard to compare. I’m home-schooled. I’ve been a fashion blogger since I was 13, an occupation that has definitely taught me a lot first-hand about the outside world. Earlier this year, I got my first Teen V ogue feature(专栏)and worked with the Disney Channel. But if you add that up, it doesn’t equal an adult. It equals an accomplished teenager.I made myself a list of “Things to Learn Before I Grow Up”. Number one: Figure out the whole significant thing. Maybe learning to cook something rather than buying ready-made food from the supermarket. But it’s also important for me to enjoy being young. I like having sandwiches my mom made for me, and getting to just be silly sometimes without worry.

When we read a poem, we often imagine what the poet was thinking when they wrote it, or what they were doing at the time. These thoughts letus connect with the words better, as if we’d written the poem ourselves.But in the age of artificial intelligence(AI人工智能), would a poem still mean as much if it weren’t written by a human at all? Today, computers can create all kinds of texts, including research papers, books, news stories and even poems by using algorithms(算法).In 2013, Australian researcher Oscar Schwartz and his friend Benjamin Laird created a website called “bot or not”, where readers can read poems and guess whether they were written by a human or a computer. During a recent speech at TedX Sydney, Schwartz said that throughout the years, some of the website’s poems were able to fool 65 percent of human readers into thinking they were written by a human.By launching the website, Schwartz and Laird hoped that people would question the difference between humans and machines---and be able to identify what makes us human.Unstableness(易变性)is part of the answer. “The human [mind] is not a cold, hard fact,” Schwartz said during his TedX Sydney speech, “Rather, it is something that’s constructed with our opinions and something that changes over time.”A computer may be able to create poems that are correct in both grammar and style, but it wouldn’t be able to get the same meanings and emotions across a human poet could. In fact, current AI software creates poems based on ones that have already been written by humans. As Schwartz noted. “The computer works like a mirror that reflects any idea of a human that developers teach it.”So a new challenge arises: What kind of human mind do we want the computer to reflect back at us?Man vs machineTake a look at the two poems below. Can you guess which one was written by acomputer?Poem ADollars of sandIn my handWorth nothing moreThan Frisbee(飞盘)of man.Poem BBig, small seashells quietly fight a lively, sunny tuna(金枪鱼)Never command a sailorThe captain travels like a misty seashellAll whales view rough, clear wavesANSWER: Poem B was written by a computer.25.What’s the purpose of the first three paragraphs?A.To introduce the origin of World Poetry Day.B.To show the popularity of poetry around the world.C.To show the importance and beauty of poetry.D.To give some tips on appreciating poetry.26.What did the data from “bot or not” show?puters are better than humans at writing poetry.puters can also produce poems of high quality.C.Readers don’t really care whether the poems were written by humans.D.Few readers can tell poems written by computers from those by humans.27.According to Schwartz, what makes humans different from machines?A.We value emotions over facts.B. We have changing opinions.C, We are stable in what we do. D. We often make mistakes.28.Why can’t computers match humans in creating poems according to the article?A.They fail to use the correct grammar and style.B.They can’t create poems that make sense.C.They can’t express emotions as well as humans.D.They only know how to copy existing poems.三、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Believe it or not, the Great Wall is being destroyed by people. Less than 20 per cent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty is still perfect, but about 80 per cent is in danger. The Great Wall can be called “great”mostly because of its amazing length. But we should realize that the length was made up of one brick at a time. If we do nothing to save the Great Wall, it will become a series of separate wasteland rather than a historic site.The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2,000 years. It began in the rule of China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang of the Qin Dynasty (221—206 BC),and lasted into the Ming Dynasty. The parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared. People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan in Gansu because they have been open to tourists for many years. But those sections far away from the public eyes have been almost forgotten.Few local people knew the three-metre-high walls made of earth and stones beside them are part of the Great Wall. The lack of knowledge is considered as one of the main reasons behind human destruction.The bricks on the Great Wall are carried off by countryside people to build their houses, sheep corrals and pigsties(猪圈).Some are taken away to build roads. Bricks carved with people's names are put away as remembrances. Rubbish is spread over the battlements(城垛).The bricks can be sold for 15 yuan per tractor load. Those who destroyed and are destroying the Great Wall know its name, but第 1 页are not clear about its cultural meaning. It will take a long time to let them know this. The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Wall but dug out the entire base.It is necessary to protect the Great Wall. First of all,the officials should be aware of the importance of the Great Wall. Young Chinese should know more about the nation's great civilization and learn to love it.1. The main reason for which the Great Wall can be called “great”is that .A.it is made by brickB.it is very wideC.it is very longD.it has a long history2. Why does the author say the Great Wall might disappear?A.It is useless from now on.B.It will be replaced by a new one.C.Some parts of it are being destroyed.D.It's too old to be used again.3. The underlined part “those sections far away from the public eyes”refers to the parts of the Great Wall . A.that are too difficult to understandB.that nobody can watchC.that are too far to be seenD.that are not well known to the public4. What's one of the main reasons of the Great Wall's being destroyed?A.The local people are short of culture knowledge.B.The local people need bricks and stones to build houses.C.The local people think that the Great Wall is not important.D.The local people are against the government.Ⅲ.完形填空After work one day, I grabbed a pizza for dinner at the mall. As I was heading home, I saw a girl sitting in a corner of the mall. Her hair covered her face and her body was 1 . I determined to walk past her 2 that's what we often do.

She had to seek a shelter from the mall to keep 8 on cold days,but she said even the mall wasn't 9 because security(保安) always threw her out.I'm one of those people who used to believe there was a system of 10第 2 页to help her. Ideally, I would like to believe in that. I used to think maybe one day I would 11 “them”. Maybe one day I would win the lottery(彩票). But when I 12 that girl, I thought to myself, what if no one ever helped her? What if this so-called 13 system that I believed in didn't even know or 14 her existence? What if I didn't 15 any money? What if she was not going to be around long enough to 16 that “one day”?I didn't really think about what happened next. I 17 my dinner with her and gave her all the money I had. When security came,I talked them into assisting her 18 driving her away like they usually did.Don't 19 one day to come before you help someone. Now is that one day—not tomorrow, not next week.

On the site Avatar Forums(论坛), the topic “Ways to cope with the depression of the dream of Pandora being intangible(触摸不到的)” has more than 1,000 posts.In a similar forum, one user wrote, “When I woke up this morning after watching Avatar for the first time yesterday, the world seemed grey. It just seems so meaningless.”“I still don‟t really see any reason to keep doing things at all. I live in a dying world.”On another site, one fan was even more affected, admitting, “I even consider suicide, thinking that if I do it I will be rebirthed in a world similar to Pandora.”On the Avatar site Naviblue, a fan calling himself Jorba has even asked others to join him in starting a real Na‟vi tribe(部落).Dr Stephan Quentzel, psychiatrist(精神病医生)and Medical Director in New York told CNN, “Virtual life is not real life and it never will be, but this is the pinnacle(极点)of what we can build in a virtual presentation so far.”“It has taken the best of our technology to create this virtual world and real life will never be as utopian(空想的)as it seems on screen. It makes real life seem more imperfect.”But not everyone viewing the film has been hit by the “Avatar Blues”, as a small but vocal(发嗓音的)group have claimed it contains racist(种族主义的)themes—the white hero once again saving the primitive(原始的)natives. Since the film opened three weeks ago, hundreds of blog posts, newspaper articles and YouTube videos have said things such as the film is “a fantasy about ra ce told from the point of view of white people” and that it strengthens “the white Messiah fable(寓言).”The film‟s writer and director, James Cameron, says the real theme is about respecting others‟ differences.56. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. The audience think the theme of the film is showing respect to others‟ differences.B.

The best title of the passage is ________.A. Avatar—A Perfect FilmB. Avatar—A Reflection of Real LifeC. Avatar’s Setting Causing Real Life ImperfectD.

Some values it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity(繁荣). Others say that competition is bad because it sets one person against another and it leads to unfriendly relationships between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit(追求)of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winners and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse, “I may have lost, but it does n‟t matter because I really did n‟t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one‟s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve(消失)can we discover a new meaning in competition.63. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.B. Opinions about competition are different among people.C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.64. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means __________.A. those who try their best to winB. those who value competition most highlyC. those who are against competition most stronglyD. those who rely on others most for success65. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a desire to fail?A. One‟s worth lies in his performance compared with others.B. One‟s success in competition needs great efforts.C. One‟s achievement is determined by his particular.D. One‟s success is based on how hard he has tried.66. Which point of view may the author agree to?A. Every effort should be paid back.B. Competition should be encouraged.C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.DBe careful! Someone may use the truth to deceive. When he tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression.For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”This g uy‟s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He‟s really a big loser!He didn‟t say anything that was false, but he purposely left out important information. That‟s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this tactic. Let‟s say that during Governor Smith‟s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million job s. Then she seeks(寻求)another term(任期). One of her opponents(对手)runs an ad saying, “During Governor Smith‟s term, the st ate lost one million jobs!” That‟s true. However an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith‟s term, the state had a net(净)gain of two million jobs.”Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It‟s against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might boast(吹牛), “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples(丘疹).” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.This kind of deception happens too often. It‟s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.67. Which statement is true according to the article?A. Whenever people tell the truth, they are really lying.B. You can‟t trust gamblers(赌徒).C. All governors help their states.D. The truth can be used in dishonest ways.68. The underlined word “deceive” in the first sentence means ________.A. removing one‟s teeth in publicB. ignore warningsC. foolD. repair69. The author clearly wants people to ________.A. think carefully about what they read and hearB. wear mismatched socks during political campaignsC. never trust anyoneD. vote for female candidates70. An appropriate title for this passage would be ________.A. Half-truthB. Everyone LiesC. Lying With the TruthD. Nose PimplesV. 单词拼写(共20小题;每小题0.5分,满分10分)1.

There are three ways you can experience the thrill of skydiving and the only requirement is that you should be at least eighteen years old and have a weight of under 250 pounds. You also have to be free of any heart disease or severe medical conditions.Skydiving courses, in most cases, work the same way. A certified(有资格的) instructor will get you trained and he'll try to scare you and make you not jump. That‟s because the only thing he doesn't want is that a student panics while free falling. You'll then have to fill a lot of papers that you must go through if you want to jump. These documents make sure that if you get hurt the company will not be responsible. These are very scary but you‟ll have to sign them if you want to jump.When choosing the method you'll first skydive, you have to consider how much time you have and how much cash you've got. Of course, how brave you are is another factor and depending on these factors you‟ll have to choose one of three methods for your first jump. The methods are tandem(两人前后纵列), static line and accelerated(加速) free fall. If what you want is to fly freely you have to go for accelerated free fall. Just want a nice ride, tandem might be the best choice. If you just want a quick ride you can go for static line.A good thing to take into consideration is videotaping your first jump, which costs from $ 50 to $100. You'll love looking back at how scared you were when jumping out of an airplane. If you choose to videotape your jump, another skydiver will jump before you do from the airplane and fly near you with acamera.VII. 书面表达(共1题,满分15分)假如你是班长,要组织主题班会,请你以“爱娱乐更爱学习”为主题,用英文写一篇发言稿。
