Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

Although she was to become one of the world’s most attractive sex

symbols,Marilyn Monroe’s start in life was very,very far from attractive.Born in Los Angeles on June 1,1926,Norma Jeane Mortenson spent most of her childhood in and out of foster homes(寄养家庭) and orphanages(孤儿院).“No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl,”she once said.“All little girls should be told they’re pretty,even if they aren’t.”

By 16,Norma Jeane was a high school dropout and married,although she was a greedy reader and lover of the classics and would later take literature courses at

University of California at Los Angeles.When her husband was sent to the South Pacific,19-year-old Norma Jeane worked in a munitions factory(军工厂) in Southern California.

David Conover,a photographer working on a story for Yank magazine about women helping the war effort,photographed the curly-haired lady working on an airplane.He then referred her to another photographer,Bill Carroll,who was seeking a “good

looki ng plain Jane” to photograph and gave her $20 for the work.From there,her modeling career was launched.

She landed an agent and a contract with Twentieth Century Fox,and divorced her first husband.Marilyn Monroe,the curly-haired bombshell,was born.She then became a very famous actress,model,and singer,starring in a number of commercially successful motion pictures during the 1950s and early 1960s.

Monroe died at the age of 36.Throughout her all-too-short life,Monroe had the rare ability to combine an intense sensuality with a genuine innocence.As her friend and favorite photographer,George Barris,observed,“She was a sweet little girl in a woman’s body.”Monroe herself once explained she knew what the photographers said about her.“Don’t let anyone tell you it is in her body.You know where it is.It’s

in her mind.”

Montreal mermaid school lets you shake your tail

In Disney’s classic The Little Mermaid(美人鱼),the main character Ariel sings her little heart out about wanting to walk among the humans.But in real life,many water enthusiasts long for the opposite experience:acting out a fantasy of swimming as beautifully and happily as a mermaid.1.

AquaMermaid,which opened earlier this month in Montreal,Quebec,is a fitness program,offering classes in which people can slip on a monofin(单蹼) and live to tell the tale.

“I’d been doing some modeling and a friend asked me to do an underwater photo shoot wearing a mermaid tail,”explained founder Marielle Chartier Hénault,24,on how

she came up with the idea.“2. And I felt like it was such a happy environment.”

Insp ired by the response she’d received at the photo shoot,Chartier Hénault decided to launch her own business offering the experience to others as part of a fitness program.

“Some people think it’s a joke,”she said.“And in general they assume it’s really easy to move around wearing a monofin.3.”

Because of the dual(双的) languages spoken in Montreal,the school operates under two names,AquaMermaid and the French translation AquaSirene.4.

Since launching in the first week of February,more than 150 people have signed up for classes,birthday parties or other private events featuring mermaid school instruction.

“It has been cool that so many men have come out,”said Chartier Hénault,of her mermen students.

More than any health benefits,Chartier Hénault feels she i s allowing anyone from age 7 and up to live out a fantasy.She said,“5.”

A.And now they can.

B.I am hoping to bring the idea to the U.S.soon.

C.But a mermaid’s appeal appears to be universal.

D.But once they put the tail on they realize it is hard.

E.People kept stopping by the pool,laughing and smiling.

F.It’s more about having fun and having a dream come true.

G.You really need to understand the weight movement of your body.

Ⅲ.书面表达

日常生活中,你或你身边的人可能为一点小事而大发脾气,事后又感到后悔。请结合自己的经历,用英语写一篇短文。内容包括:

1.事情的原因、经过、结果;

考点规范练16(必修4Unit1)

Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是记叙文。文章简述了玛丽莲·梦露的生平。

1.A 推理判断题。由第一段中的“Marilyn Monroe’s start in life...foster homes and orphanages”可推断,梦露的童年很艰苦。

2.D 段落大意题。该段讲梦露在军工厂工作时被摄影师意外发现,并从此开始了她的模特事业。

3.D 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“She was a sweet little girl in a woman’s body”及“It’s in her mind”可推断,梦露事业的成功主要归功于她迷人的、如孩童般天真的个性。

4.A 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“Monroe had the rare ability to combine an intense sensuality with a genuine innocence”可推断,梦露是一位有天赋的艺术家。

【语篇导读】本文是应用文。文章介绍了四种智能门锁。

5.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“sense and give access to those with approved smartphones.Approach the entry while logged in to your account,and the door will automatically unlock.You can temporarily add a friend...”可知答案。

6.B 篇章结构题。根据最后一段中的“A little device c alled the Fob—roughly the size of a stick of gum—easily fits on your key chain and operates with the lock”可知,Fob 大小跟口香糖差不多,可以很容易地挂在钥匙链上,而且它需要跟门锁一起才能起作用。由此可推测,开门的时候需要轻碰一下“Fob和门锁”。

7.A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“you can unlock the door by texting your password”可知,安装了Lockitron设备后,你只需要输入密码,门就会自动打开。

Ⅲ. One day,during the break I left my mobile on my desk and had a rest

outside.When I came back I found Henry was speaking on it.I got angry and took my mobile back out of his hand immediately,leaving him surprised and

embarrassed.Actually what annoyed me wa s not that he used it,but that he didn’t ask for my permission beforehand.However,it turned out that he was just trying to help.My face still turns red every time I think of it.

This story tells me never to lose my temper before I get the whole picture of what happens.
