“Hey, Dad,”one of my kids asked the other day, “what was your favorite fast food when you were growing up?”

“We didn’t have fast food when I was growing up,”I informed him. “All the food was slow.”

“Come on, seriously. Where did you eat?”

“It was a place called ‘home’”I explained.“Grandma cooked every day and when Grandpa got home from work, we sat down together at the dining table, and if I didn t like what she put on my plate I was allowed to sit there until I liked it.”

By this time, the kid was laughing so hard I was afraid he was going to suffer serious internal damage, so I didn’t tell him the part about how I had to have permission to leave the table. But here are some other things I would have told him about my childhood if I figured his system could have handled it:

I was 13 before I tasted my first pizza. It was called “pizza pie”. When I bit into it, I burned the roof of my mouth and the cheese slid off, swung down, and plastered itself against my chin.

It’s still the best pizza I ever had.

Pizzas were not delivered to our home. But milk was. Bread and rolls came from the Omar man. All newspapers were delivered by boys and all boys delivered newspapers. I delivered a newspaper, six days a week even when the snow was 18 inches deep. It cost 7 cents a paper, of which I got to keep 2 cents, I had to get up at 4:00 a.m. every morning. On Saturdays, I had to collect the 42 cents from my customers.

If you grew up in a generation before there was fast food, you may want to share some of these memories with your children or grandchildren. Growing up isn’t what it used to be, is it?

1. Hearing what the author said, his child probably thought_____ .

A. he was lucky to have fast food

B. it was unbelievable to live without fast food

C. how happy his own life was

D. his father was joking with him

2. When he used to have meals with the adults, the author_____ .

A. had to watch his table manners

B. could choose what he liked

C. was not given much freedom

D. had to eat everything offered to him

3. What do we know about the first pizza the author had?

A. It left a good memory on him.

B. The author didn’t like it at all.

C. It was too poorly made.

D. He didn’t know how to eat it.

4. Why did the author talk about his experience of delivering newspapers?

A. To show that his family used to be quite poor.

B. To show that children before had to make a living by themselves.

C. To show that he had gained a lot from the experience.

D. To show that growing experience was quite different before.

5. What’s the author’s attitude towards today’s children?

A. He thinks they are spoiled.

B. He thinks they are too obsessed with fast food.

C. He thinks they should go through some hardship.

D. He doesn’t give his personal opinion.

The stereotype (固有观念) of computer scientists as nerds who stay up all night coding and have no social life may be driving women away from the field, according to a new study published this month. This stereotype can be brought to mind based only on the appearance of the environment in a classroom or an office.

“When people think of computer science the image that immediately pops into many of their minds is about the computer geek(怪人) surrounded by such things as computer games, science fiction and junk food,”said Sapna Cheryan, a university of Washington assistant professor of psychology and the stud’ys lead author. “That stereotype doesn’t appeal to many women who don’t like the portrait of masculinity（男性化).”

Cheryan set up four experiments involving more than 250 female and male students who were not studying computer science to look at possible reasons why the proportion of women in the field is dropping while the proportion of women in such disciplines as biology, mathematics and chemistry is increasing.

In the first experiment, students entered a small classroom that either contained objects stereotypically associated with computer science such as Star Trek posters, video game boxes and Coke cans, or non-stereotypical items such as nature posters, art, a dictionary and coffee cups. The students were told to ignore these objects because the room was being shared with another class. After spending several moments in the classroom, the students filled out questionnaires(调查问卷) that asked about their attitude toward computer science.

Women exposed to the stereotypical setup expressed less interest in computer science than those who saw the non-stereotypical objects. Men placed in the same situations did not show a similar drop in interest in computer science. Cheryan said this study suggests that a student’s choice of classes or a major can be influenced by the appearance of classrooms, halls and offices.

6. The underlined word “nerds”in Paragraph 1 probably refers to “_____”.

A. dull persons

B. active persons

C. intelligent persons

D. funny persons

7. Women are less likely to choose computer science because_____ .

A. it is too difficult for them

B. they have wrong understanding of it

C. the lifestyle of computer scientists turns them away

D. they don’t like the social life of computer scientists

8. A woman would probably lose interest in computer science when she sees a_____ .

A. Star Trek poster

B. nature poster

C. dictionary

D. coffee cup

9. What can influence a woman’s choice of classes, according to the passage?

A. The contents of computer science.

B. The space in the classroom.

C. The number of students in the classroom.

D. The classroom environment.

10. According to the experiment, women are more likely to choose computer science if_____ .

A. it is made more lively and interesting

B. they are exposed to the stereotypical setup

C. they see the non-stereotypical objects in the classroom

D. they are allowed to learn it without men

字数：331完成时间：5分钟难度：★★★

Every Sunday morning, as most people line up outside neighborhood breakfast spots, watch TV news shows, or head for church, Chloris Noelke-Olson is tuning up her fiddle. She’s preparing

to enjoy bluegrass music the old-fashioned way: with friends, at home, for free.

“To be able to play with other people face to face and have that sort of connection, it’s spiritual,”Ms. Noelke-Olson said of the weekly house concerts in Chicago she participates in. “It’s like a good conversation with instruments—something that doesn’t seem to happen much anymore because everyone is blabbering(饶舌) on their cell phones.”

She is among a growing group of Americans who are finding it pleasant to unplug from the digital grid, at least temporarily. While there is no exact data to track how many people are forming knitting groups, hosting house concerts, or organizing family game nights, it is possible to connect the dots between the rising price of entertainment and the rising sales of board games (棋类游戏) and craft supplies.

Between 2007 and 2008, the prices for restaurant meals, concert tickets, and movie tickets all increased. At the same time, board games sales rose 6 percent, while total toy sales decreased 3 percent.

These trends are expected to continue because of the struggling economy. Instead of outfitting their homes with expensive home entertainment systems, consumers are more likely to be interfacing the old-fashioned way: eye-to-eye. Families are rediscovering ways to come together that have nothing to do with high tech.

“People are turning inward to build in enjoyment time for family and home”, said Linda Bettencourt, an interior designer in San Francisco whose clients typically live in million dollar homes. Over the past six months, Ms. Bettencourt has been hired to redesign living spaces to foster the kind of connectivity that doesn t involve wires. “The big game table is back,”she says. “People want to sit around and see each other’s faces rather than facing a flat-screen TV.”

1. Why is Chloris Noelke Olson enjoying bluegrass music the old-fashioned way?

A. Because she likes playing musical instruments.

B. Because she wants to provide free music for her friends.

C. Because she doesn’t like talking on the cell phone.

D. Because she likes to form a close connectivity with people.

2. Ms. Bettencourt has been hired to_____ .

A. connect the rich people with others

B. redesign living space for the rich people

C. give some advice to people on connectivity

D. help people to save money

3. We can infer from the last paragraph that_____ .

A. home designing has become a big business

B. rich people usually pay more attention to their living space

C. even rich people are changing their ways of entertainment

D. rich people spend more on home entertainment

4. This passage is about_____ .

A. a new trend in people’s entertainment in America

B. the present economic situation in America

C. the modern family life in America

D. the change of people’s interest in America

5. If this passage is posted on the web, it most probably appears in the section of _____.

A. people

B. travel

C. environment

D. lifestyle

December 21, 2012 marks the completion of the 5,125 year Great Cycle of the Ancient Maya Long Count Calendar.

Rather than being an end-point, this cycle that is closing is naturally I followed by the start of a new cycle. What this new cycle has in store for humanity is a mystery that has yet to unfold...

The recent 2012 movie serves to alert a targeted 140 million people, in case they too haven’t already heard the news. Unfortunately, however, the movie does a disservice because it distorts the message of this ancient prophecy (预言) by associating it with fear and destruction, as described by the movie’s global disaster scenario (场景), rather than the themes of transformation and renewal the prophecy is actually based on.

In other words, the global scenario of the 2012 movie is not based on any facts. As Emmerich clarifies,“We only used the fact that the Mayan calendar ends. That gave us the year.” Emmerich said after che cking out the range of 2012 books on Amazon, he realized, “...there are so many (theories) that, in a way, you can just create your own.” He shares that “2012” was tacked on as a title to his disaster movie because it is something “people believe” and it m ade the movie seem more “real.”

Interestingly, Emmerich’s underlying motivation for the movie seems to be genuine concern about the course we are all on as modern society. As he states, “I hope we are not ruining our planet. I really believe that, if we keep going and doing what we are doing, we will not be leaving the planet how it should be, for our kids. That has been going on for generations. It just very sad to see and read the news, every day, and see what these people are fighting over. It’s like they don’t understand that the clo ck is ticking.”

6. According to the Ancient Maya Long Count Calendar, December 21,2012 is the day on which_____ .

A. the world will end with many disasters

B. the old age will end and a new one will begin

C. there will be a world flood

D. the world can survive many disasters

7. Which of the following is TRUE about the movie 2012?

A. It is intended to explore what is in store in the new cycle.

B. It tells us about the Ancient Maya Long Count Calendar as it is.

C. It is just based on the director’s ideas.

D. It describes the ancient prophecy vividly.

8. What Emmerich says suggests that_____ .

A. he is quite concerned about the present situation on the earth

B. he is regretful that people have misunderstood his movie

C. he himself believes what is described in the movie

D. he just wants to attract viewers by the disaster scenario

9. By this passage, the author intends to_____ .

A. tell us about what the movie 2012 is all about

B. help the director to promote his film

C. tell us what we should learn from the movie 2012

D. explain whether we can trust the ancient prophecy

10. The underlined word “distort” in the third paragraph probably means_____ .

A. change something in a wrong way

B. convey the original meaning

C. describe something clearly

D. give more proof to something

Ⅲ. 短文填词(2010·龙岩市二次质检) 阅读下面短文，根据以下提示：1）汉语提示，2）首字母提示，3）语境提示, 在每个空格内填入一个适当的英语单词。所填单词要求意义准确、拼写正确。

答案

Ⅰ. 1. 解析：选B。因为他出身普通工人家庭，按照父亲和周边伙伴们的发展轨迹，他也应该只能当建筑工人或警察。should表示推测，可意为“按理说应该”；must太肯定；can表示可能性时一般不用于肯定句或表示“客观的可能”；need 意为“需要”。故选B。

2. 解析：选C。他想摆脱自己的宿命。out表示“从……中出来”。

3. 解析：选D。Bobby从少年时期就开始演戏，但如同后来所知，他的演艺生涯一直不成功，因此选D表示，“不是一个好演员”。

4. 解析：选A。虽然不是一个好的演员，但他还是希望能为改变自己的人生做一些使生活变得“不同的”事情。

5. 解析：选C。为了实现自己的夙愿，他去了好莱坞碰运气。碰运气可用meet(find)one

7. 解析：选D。因为太想当一名演员，所以他“自愿”在自己开办的一个表演单位做出租司机和服务员的工作。

8. 解析：选B。根据上下文的意思可知，尽管他目前做的工作很辛苦，但他仍然执著于自己选择的事业，故chosen符合句意。afforded给予，提供；respected受尊敬的；offered提供，含义均与句意不符。

9. 解析：选C。由于弟弟被谋杀，他放弃了自己的工作（失业了)，回到老地方。

10. 解析：选D。句意表示他写了一部与他自己生活有关的戏剧。与……有关可用be related to表示。

13. 解析：选D。他渐渐有了名气。reputation名气，名望，符合句意。influence影响；ambition 雄心；success成功，均不符合句意。

15. 解析：选B。正在他穷困潦倒时，一个导演跟他交上了朋友。when表示“正当……时”。

16. 解析：选D。他们二人合作创作了剧本但被摄影室给拒绝了。turn down这里意为“拒绝，驳回”。

17. 解析：选A。尽管剧本被一次次驳回，但他对自己的作品有着强烈的信心。strongly反映他坚强的意志力。

18. 解析：选B。由于在此之前一直没有人赏识，因此他的电影是“悄悄地”被放映的，同时根据后面的quietly的排比手法也可推测出答案。

19. 解析：选C。become an overnight success一举成名。

20. 解析：选A。句意表示“考虑能使工作做好的方法”。way表示“方法”；manner使用单数时表示“方法，方式”，但C选项是复数形式；manners意为“礼貌，规矩”；action意为“行动”。

了其中的信息。故可推测出，distort意为“扭曲；曲解”。

Ⅲ. 1. peaceful 2. plenty 3. hobbies

4.stressful

The city of Angkor was the capital of the Khmer Empire from the 9th to the 15th centuries. The Khmer Empire was one of the most prosperous kingdoms in the history of Southeast Asia, and its prosperity was expressed through a wide range of architecture.

The city of Angkor was founded on political and religious ideas adapted from India, and the temples of Angkor were intended as a place of worship for the king and a way for him to ensure his immortality through identification with the Hindu gods.

Angkor Wat was first built by King Suryavarman Ⅱin the 12th century as a vast funerary temple that would hold his remains, symbolically(象征性地) confirming his permanent identity with Vishnu.

During its six centuries as imperial capital, Angkor went through many changes in architectural styles and in religion. The city of Angkor transferred itself from the Hindu god Shiva to the Hindu god Vishnu, and finally to the Mahayana Buddhist goddess Avalokitesvara.

By the late 13th century, the once frenzied(发狂的) pace of Angkor’s architectural pursuits had begun to die down, and a more restrained type of religion was on the rise under the growing influence of Theravada Buddhism.

At the same time, Angkor and the Khmer Empire were increasingly threatened and attacked by invading armies. By the 16th century, the golden age of Angkor was over and many of the great temples began to move back into the jungle.

From the 15th to 19th centuries, Theravada Buddhist monks cared for Angkor Wat, and it is thanks to them that the temple remains mostly intact(完整的). Angkor Wat became one of the most important pilgrimage(朝拜) sites in Southeast Asia. Angkor Wat is the best preserved example of Khmer architecture in Cambodia and is so grand in design that some rank it among the seven wonders of the world. It appears on the Cambodian national flag, a very rare instance of a flag with an image of a building.

While the factors driving the modern family are many and complex-from the explosion of technology to the influx(涌入) of mothers into the workforce-parental fear may be at the heart of today’s rushed(勿忙的) approach to child rearing(养育孩子), some experts say.

Parents fear everything from media exposure to violence to peer pressure, says Alan Mirabelli, executive director of Ottawa think tank. Perhaps most of all, there’s the fear that their kids

won’t be equipped to compete in the future.

Some might argue that today’s parents are micromanagers because, unlike those who raised families during the Depression and World War Ⅱ, they don’t have enough real worries. But Mirabelli says it comes down to a different context and a different set of challenges.

He notes that while parents 25 or 30 years ago had the modest goals of providing their offspring with more than they had, the current driving force is the desperation to equip kids for a

dog-eat-dog world.

They demand tougher schools, a heftier(容量更大的) curriculum and standardized testing to measure performance. Outside the school system, they fill in the gaps with tutoring, music lessons, art classes, gymnastics and hockey. For those who can’t afford it, there’s the additional stress and fear that their kids don’t stand a chance.

David Elkind, a renowned child psychologist and author of The Hurried Child, says hyper parenting is a reaction to a world changing so fast and we have no idea how to prepare kids for it. Parents can’t envision the society their kids will inhabit as adults, so they try to cover all the possibilities, cramming in as much as possible and operating on the principle that earlier is better. “This works against the notion of let children be children,”said Da vid Elkind.

6. The biggest fear of parents is that their children_____.

A. will change for the worse because of media influence

B. will get involved in violence

C. will fall behind in future competition

D. will compare themselves with peers

7. David Elkind holds the view that_____.

A. parents should equip their kids for a changing world

B. parents shouldn’t worry too much about their children

C. parents shouldn’t destroy the childhood of their children

D. it’s better for parents to foresee the future society

8. We can conclude from the text that_____.

A. children today can’t enjoy a real childhood

B. children today are better equipped for the future

C. parents today actually have no real worries

D. parents today face more challenges actually

9. What would be the BEST title for the text?

A. Modern family is becoming complex

B. The harm of rushed approach to child-rearing

C. How to equip children for the future

D. The parents are worried, so the children are hurried

10. The underlined word “it” in the fifth par agraph probably refers to_____.

A. the tough education

B. a good environment

C. a colourful after-school activity

D. a rich and happy life

With so many other ways to get information these days, do we still need books? Old habits

die hard, and are passed down from generations. If your parents read to you, the chances are you will read to your children and so on. Well, that is an ideal world.

I think it comes from the educational side of life. If you have a good experience in school with books, then reading on after school years won’t be a problem. For me I did very well in English language and literature as I had an inspiring and interesting English teacher who let us write our stories freely without correcting our spelling right away. The creative side of you should always come first and then the technical errors can be corrected.

Starting reading early is very important to children’s relationship with books. If you casually read to your children then the books will have always been there in their lives and by the time reading comes along at the age of 4--5 years old it will all be fun and start to make sense. It has to be said that books are vital to learning.

Getting information and searching on the Internet is fine and necessary at this moment but it requires reading and reading requires practice, I believe we should relax whilst learning and digesting facts and information, and this can only be done with the simple book. Learn the basic habit of reading a book and then expand on and use the technology available, like e-books to make things convenient. But when you’re not in a rush or whilst on a sunny beach, spending time with your children, what could be better than holding that book in your hands and feeling the achievement of getting to the last page?

1. The author of the passage thinks that_____.

A. the habit of reading should be passed down from generations

B. books are less important with so many other ways to get information

C. reading to children has become an old habit

D. it’s difficult to get children to read books today

2. We can conclude from the second paragraph that_____ .

A. children can develop the good habit of reading by themselves

B. it’s not necessary to correct children’s errors in reading

C. reading on after school years is becoming a difficult problem today

D. a good teacher can cultivate the habit of reading

3. According to the third paragraph, if you casually read to your children, they will_____ .

A. form the habit of reading in time

B. have no idea of their relationship with books

C. lose the interest in reading books later

D. realize the importance of reading by the age of 4

4. What is the author’s attitude towards the Internet?

A. He thinks it can only ruin people’s pleasure in reading.

B. He thinks it is an important way to get information.

C. He thinks it will replace traditional books.

D. He believes we should limit the use of it.

5. We learn from the last paragraph that_____ .

A. reading e-books is a better way to digest facts and information

B. the technology available can help us learn the basic habit of reading books

C. reading books on a sunny beach is only a way to kill time

D. reading can be a great pleasure when you are not in a hurry

I was born and raised in England in a culture where privacy and “keeping yourself to yourself”were valued traditions. Speaking to strangers was not encouraged. People were most hospitable(好客的) and friendly—but only once they had been introduced to new people.

However, I have been lucky enough to spend some time in both Italy and the US, where I found traditions of hospitality and politeness to be very different.

I experienced Italian hospitality first hand on a crowded railway carriage travelling, one afternoon, from Genoa to Florence. Sinking gratefully into an empty seat, I was berated(斥责) in rapid Italian by a gentleman who was returning to this seat-it had not been “spare” after all. I apologized in English, and got up to allow him back into the seat. The gentleman obviously had no understanding of the English language, but he, too, realized my genuine mistake. He smiled and gestured for me to remain in the seat, and he himself remained standing in the corridor for the remainder of the journey. The other occupants of the carriage smiled and nodded at me and made me feel quite welcome amongst them. I feel that if this had been in England, a foreigner who made a mistake would not always be so kindly treated.

Transport also featured in the differences I noticed between English and American culture. I flew to New York on a plane with mainly English passengers. We sat together in near silence. Nobody spoke to me nor, as I expected, to anyone else they did not know. They felt it was not polite to intrude on someone else’s privacy. However, when I travelled across the United States, whether by plane or Greyhound bus, I was never short of conversation. Conversation was going on all around me and whoever sat next to me was happy to introduce themselves and ask me about myself. They obviously felt it would have been rude not to speak to another person, whether they were strangers or not.

6. The purpose of the author is to tell us_____ .

A. his travelling experience

B. cultural differences to show hospitality and politeness

C. the culture shock he experienced in Italy and the US

D. how to adapt ourselves to a new culture

7. What do we know about the occupants of the carriage when the author was travelling in Italy?

A. They all laughed at the author for his mistake.

B. They would not bear a mistake like the author’s in public.

C. They were all on the side of the gentleman.

D. They all showed their understanding of the author’s mistake.

8. The author probably believes the Italian people are_____.

A. cold

B. rude

C. hospitable

D. helpful

9. According to the last paragraph, English passengers sat in near silence because_____.

A. they were all strangers to each other

B. they were too tired to speak

C. privacy was a valued tradition in England

D. everybody had their own share of privacy

10. The last paragraph mainly tells us_____ .

A. the difference between English and American culture

B. why Americans like to start a conversation

C. different attitudes of Englishmen and Americans towards

conversation

D. the importance of privacy among Englishmen
