阅读下面短文.从短文后各题所给的四个选项《A、B. C和D》中,选出可以填入

空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项小涂黑。

According to Greek legend, in ancient Athens a man noticed the great storyteller Aesop playing childish games with some little boys. He 36 and made fun of Aesop, asking him why he wasted his time in such 37 games.

Aesop responded by 38 a bow, loosening its string, and placing it

on the ground. Then he said to the critical man, “Now, 39 the riddle(迷), if you can. Tell us what the unstrung bow means.”

The man 40 at it for several minutes but had no idea about what 41 Aesop was trying to make. Aesop 42 ,“If you keep a bow always bent, it

will break 43 ; but if you let it go loose, it will be more 44 for use

when you want it.”

So it is with us. Our minds and bodies are like the 45 .When often under the 46 of everyday life, we can finally 47 .We need to loosen up; we need time to 48 the pressure off and relax.

Former baseball pitcher(投球手) Dutch Leonard might have put it a little differently. He once said that the 49 of great pitching is not speed or the ability to throw curves(曲线球). It’s the “change of pace”. Even the 50 batter(击球手) will soon learn how to hit a pitcher who continually throws the same kind of pitch. But it’s 51 to hit a pitcher who changes the pace of pitching. That 52 of pace gives a pitcher an advantage over the other pitchers.

A change of pace also gives us a(n) 53 in life. Taking time to watch the clouds, enjoy a breeze, take a walk, read just slowdown is 54 if we are to be our best later. And a regular day of rest is as important as regul ar sleep. It’s a 55 of taking the pressure off.

To be your best, make sure you change your pace. It may just be the change you need.

eful C. hopeful D. fit

第三部分阅读理解（共20 小题，每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A, B, C和D)中，选出最佳选项.

并在答且卡上将该项涂黑。

A

A few years ago my sister moved from her home in Alabama to Buffalo, New York. Since moving to Buffalo she’s become a big hockey fan and has encouraged me to start watching it. Unfortunately it’s very difficult to find hockey on television here in Alabama. Since hoc key games don’t air very much on television I’ve had to look for different ways to watch hockey games.

I often see websites that claim if you go to their website you can watch television on your computer. I try out many of these websites hoping that one of the television stations is a northern station that airs hockey games. Unfortunately, most of them don’t work. Either the site doesn’t really give you what they advertise or their video player doesn’t work properly. But finally I’ve found one websites tha t actually works.

Free Tube is a site that you can go to and watch Television online for free. You don’t have to download any kind special software or pay money or even sign up for anything. All you have to do is go to Free Tube, choose your channel and start watching.

The different channels to choose from are separated into different categories like news, business, entertainment, music and sports. You’re not going to find channels like NBC or ABC so you can watch the latest episode of Heroes or Grey’s An atomy but it does include some popular channels like Cartoon Network and ESPN.

There is also a movie section. Each move channel airs different sorts

of films like adventure, classics, comedy or horror and that channel will always air that kind of movies. The movie section also includes my favorite station called Maxx Trailers (预告片). Maxx Trailers airs not hing but movies trailers 24 hours a day. Some of the trailers are for movies coming out and some are for movies that have already been released but alrea dy released movies don’t go back farther than a couple of months.

So far I haven’t had any problems with Free Tube’s video player either. Whenever I choose a channel the video almost always works and usually loads every quickly. The only problem I have with Free Tube is that there is currently a glitch if you’re using Firefox. Once you choose a channel you can’t select another channel to change to, your web browser will freeze up. So if you’re using Firefox the only way to switch channels is to leave the site and re-enter the site, when choosing what channel you want to go to. However, Free Tube is aware of this glitch and is working with Mozilla to g et it fixed right away.

If you’re missing some show everyone is talking about like Grey’s Anatomy or Heroes this isn’t really a solution for that. But Free Tube is a good way to find channels that you weren’t aware of; there are several good stations to be found.

56. The author mainly ________ in this passage.

A. tells us his experience in using the Web.

B. introduces Free Tube to the readers

C. shows us the disadvantages of Free Tube

D. shows us how to enjoy films online

57. The author got interested in watching hockey games ________

A. because he is a sports fan

B. due to his sister’s influence

C. since everyone enjoys the games

D. because he has nothing to do all day long

58. Form the passage we can learn that ______________

A. the author is also very fond of movies

B. Maxx Trailers airs to-be-released movies

C. ABC is a very famous TV station in America

D. Firefox is the only software used to watch films online

59. The underlined word “glitch” probably means _________

A. cover

B. change

C. note

D. fault

B

Nuclear energy has always been controversial. But since the tsunami and nuclear disaster in Fukushima (Japan) last year the issue is back in the headlines. And the world is divided—some countries are planning more nuclear plants, while others have promised to shut theirs down.

After Fukushima, Germany decided to switch off all its nuclear plants by 2022. Switzerland and Italy are also phasing out nuclear power. But France and the United States remain staunch supporters of atomic energy.

In fact, almost 80% of France’s electricity comes from nuclear power, the highest percentage in the world. And in the US, the Obama administration said it “continues to support the expansion of nuclear power, despite the crisis in Japan.”

Nuclear supporters claim nuclear power can help the environment. Unlike fossil fuels, nuclear power doesn’t create gr eenhouse gases. So, pro-nuclear countries argue that nuclear power allows them to generate energy without contributing to climate change. Britain’s chief scientific adviser (John Beddington) supports this view. He recently said that the world doesn’t have the luxury of ignoring nuclear energy.

Nuclear power is also relatively cheap. Renewable energy sources such as solar, hydro and wind power may be clean, but they’re expensive; and right now, they require a lot of investment. This higher cost of using “green energy” is usually passed onto the consumer. So, while many people may prefer their energy to come from a renewable source, not so many are prepared to pay higher energy bills. This is of particular concern while the world economy is in such bad shape.

The main argument against nuclear energy is that it isn’t safe. For a start, nuclear waste is very difficult to dispose of, and remains toxic to humans for thousands of years. And even before Fukushima, there were several high-profile nuclear disasters. The most famous is probably the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, in the Ukraine. The radiation from the meltdown spread

all over Europe, affecting thousands.

The nuclear energy issue is very complex. And it doesn’t look like it’ll be resolved anytime soon. As a Jap anese commentator recently said, “it’s been a bad year for the ‘nuclear village’, but I don’t think they’re down and out yet.” The battle continues.

60. Which of the following may NOT be the advantage of nuclear energy over

other energy sources?

A. Nu clear energy doesn’t produce any greenhouse gases.

B. Nuclear energy can help prevent the climate damage.

C. Nuclear energy is more environmental-friendly than other green energy sources.

D. Nuclear energy can save the consumers some money, compared to other

renewable energies.

61.In the 5th paragraph, the author takes the case of Chernobyl disaster

in Ukraine to _______.

A. convince the reader that nuclear waste is difficult to get rid of.

B. explain that nuclear waste may remain harmful to humans for thousands of years.

C. persuade the world not to use nuclear energy.

D. support the idea that nuclear energy is not safe.

62.We can learn from the last paragraph that _______.

A. the Japanese commentator is positive about the future of nuclear

energy.

B. the nuclear energy issue will be soon settled.

C. a battle will break out in the future.

D. Japan is considering to build a nuclear village in the future.

63.What is the author's purpose of writing the passage?

A. To highlight the danger of using nuclear energy.

B. To introduce some serious nuclear disasters.

C. To show the argument between nuclear supporters and protesters.

D. To give some advice on how to use nuclear energy safely.

Pollution is reducing the fragrance of plants and thus preventing bees from pollinating(授粉) them—endangering one of the most essential

cycles of nature, a new study suggests.

The potentially hugely significant research, funded by US National Science Foundation, has found that gases mainly formed from the emissions of car exhaust prevent flowers from attracting bees and other insects to pollinate them. And the scientists who have conducted the study fear that insects’ abilities to drive away enemies and attract mates may also be disturbed.

Professor Jose Fuentes, who led the study, said, “Scent molecules(分子) produced by flowers in a less polluted environment could travel for roughly 1,000 to 1,200 meters. But today they may travel only 200 to 300 meters. This makes it increasingly difficult for bees and other insects to locate the flowers.”

The researchers, who worked on the molecules of snapdragons(金鱼草),found that the molecules are volatile(易挥发的) and quickly bond with pollutants, mainly formed from vehicle emissions. This chemically changes the molecules so that they no longer smell like flowers. A harmful cycle is therefore set up where insects struggle to get enough food and the plants do not get pollinated enough to multiply.

Already bees, which pollinate most of the world’s crops, re in such a great decline that has never been known before in Britain and across much of the globe. At least a quarter of America’s 2.5 million honey bee colonies have been mysteriously wiped out by colony collapse

disorder(CCD),where hives are found suddenly deserted.

The crists has now spread to Eur ope. Politicians insist that CCD has not yet been found in Britain, but considering the present number of bees, the agriculture minister Lord Rooker has sent the warning, “The honey bee population could be wiped out in 10 years.”

Although the researchers are not certain whether this is the real cause of CCD, they say that pollution is making life more difficult for bees and other insects in many ways.

68. In what way does pollution prevent flowers from attracting bees?

A. By shortening the distance traveled by the scent molecules of flowers.

B. By disturbing the bees’ ability to attract mates.

C. By wea kening the bees’ ability to fight against enemies.

D. By stopping flowers from giving off fragrance.

69. What harm does the decreasing number of bees do to human beings?

A. It will cause humans not to get enough honey.

B. It will reduce the food supplies for the world.

C. Humans will have to depend on other insects to pollinate plants.

D. Humans will find it hard to deal with the deserted bee hives.

70. From the passage we can know that .

A. Europe is affected greatly by CCD

https://www.360docs.net/doc/3d18776195.html,D has destroyed most of the honey bee colonies in Europe

C. no honey bees will be found all over the world in the near future

D. European officials have paid much attention to CCD

71. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Traffic Pollution Puts Bees in Danger

B. Traffic Pollution is to Blame for CCD

C. Pollution Makes Flowers Lose Their Scent

D. Pollution Caus es the Decrease in Flowers

Years ago, I worked for a trucking company as a driver. It was my habit to go to company on Saturday and spend a couple hours maintaining my truck. As I was under the truck, I noticed the owner’s elderly father making his way over to his grandson’s truck next to mine.

The old man asked the kid to take him fishing. But the grandson told him all about how much he’d love to, but he couldn’t due to the prior promises. The old man then walked away. Some minutes later, the father came out and asked his son what the old man had wanted. After telling the story, the kid ended it with saying, “I’m not taking that old man fishing. It’s worse than taking a kid.”

That just broke my heart.

I quit working immediately and headed home. I loaded up something like a lawn chair, a pole , and headed back to the yard. On the way I bought a big bobber(浮子) and some worms. When I got there, I knocked

on the door and invited him fishing. If I was like taking a kid fishing, I had determined to take him where I’d take a kid.

When we got there I put him in the lawn chair beside the water, baited and cast the line, and handed him the pole. Soon that big old bobber started to dance; he set the hook, drew the fish in skillfully. And handed the pole to me. I unhooked the fish, re-baited and cast, and again handed it to him. This went on for about half an hour at which point he informed me he was tired and needed to go home. Then I got home. When I got him home I gave the fish to his daughter-in-law with instructions to make sure he got them for dinner and then left.

Two weeks later, the old man died. His family told me later all he talked about during that time was his fishing trip. While I get the satisfaction of knowing I took an old man on his last fishing trip, his family has to live with the knowledge that a stranger took their grandpa on his last fishing trip.

Whenever yo u get the chance, don’t forget about taking grandpa fishing, you may be in the same place and you’ll want your family to care about you too.

72. What is the purpose of writing this story?

A. To introduce how he taught an old man to fish

B. To show how he behaved to an old man

C. To persuade people to care for old men

D. To advise people to go fishing with old men

73. Why did the grandson refuse the old man’s request?

A. Because he had invited others.

B. Because he didn’t know how to fish.

C. Because he had to take care of his kids.

D. Because he didn’t want to take the trouble

74. The author stopped his work immediately because he ________.

A. became quite angry after listening to the words of his boss’s son

B. decided to drive home for fishing tools and take the old man fishing

C. needed to go and buy a big bobber and some worms he needed

D. had got to head home to deal with some urgent situations

75. Which words can describe the author most properly from the story?

A. Responsible and kind

B. Clever and brave

C. Warm-hearted but poor

D. Hardworking and lonely

1．visit→visited根据时间状语last month可知本句时态是一般过去时，故动词用过去式。2．but→and/so前后文是承接或因果关系，故连词用and或so。3．to 去掉anywhere是指地点的副词，其前不用介词。4．comfortably→comfortable 修饰名词double-room应用形容词。5．were→was what引导主语从句，其谓语动词应用单数形式，故系动词were改为was。6．for→with动词share与介词with构成搭配，意思是“和某人分享”。7．taking→taken take与所修饰词photos 是逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词作后置定语。8．dish→dishes由several 修饰，名词应用复数。9．such后加a such修饰的hotel是可数名词单数，需加不定冠词a。10．me→mine双重所有格的构成是“of ＋名词性物主代词或名词所有格”。

Dear Andrew,

Very happy to learn from you and you’re welcome to study in our school for the next two months. As for the question about the transportation to and from school, I’d like to recommend your riding a bicycle. Here are some reasons.

Firstly, riding a bike to and from school is very com mon among the students, for buying or repairing a bicycle doe sn’t cost a lot. Next, parking a bicycle is easy and convenient in our school, no matter who busy the traffic could be. Actually, bicycle-riding is also a practical way to do exercise and protec the environment. What you should do carefully is just to keep an appropriate speed while riding and lock it after you’re off it. In this way, you’ll feel it simple and relaxing to ride a bicycle while you’re here.(112 words)

Hopefully, what I’ve mentioned above could be helpful and wish
