AWhat’s On?C. 8.00pm-11.00pm.D. 8.30pm-10.30pm.BFive years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said:” Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today - and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.” A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without f ail one would declare, “But I’m just not creative.” “Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”“Oh, sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads.“That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?”“Nobody. I do it.”“Really-at night, when you’re asleep?”“Sure.”“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”25. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________?A. know more about the studentsB. make the lessons more excitingC. raise the students‟ interest in artD. teach the students about toy design26. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. He liked to help his teacher.B. He preferred to study alone.C. He was active in class.D. He was imaginative.27. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Mistake.B. Drawback.C. Difficulty.D. Burden.28. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?A. To help them to see their creativity.B. To find out about their sleeping habits.C. To help them to improve their memory.D. To find out about their ways of thinking.CReading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual. The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.29. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A. To explain what they are.B.To introduce BookCrossing.C. To stress the importance of reading.D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.30. What doe s the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. 虚拟.B. 真实.C. 实在.D. 非物质.31. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?A. Meet other readers to discuss it.B.Keep it safe in his bookcase.C. Pass it on to another reader.D. Mail it back to its owner.32. What is the best title for the text?A. Online Reading: A Virtual TourB. Electronic Books: A new TrendC. A Book Group Brings Tradition BackD. A Website Links People through BooksDA new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海难), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.33. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A. They were made last weekB. They showed undersea sceneriesC. They were found by a cameramanD. They recorded a disastrous adventure34. Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A. Frank HurleyB. Ernest ShackletonC. Robert Falcon ScottD. Caroline Alexander35. What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?A. Artistic creationB. Scientific researchC. Money makingD. Treasure hunting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。

"可知指的是时间，所以用when．故填when．4．our；考查代词．修饰名词，所以要用形容词性物主代词．故填our．5．more；考查比较级．根据前面的The closer可知此处用the more，构成"the+比较级，the+比较级"结构．故填more．6．going；考查动名词．before是介词，所以要用动名词．故填going．7．If/When；考查连词．他说，如果你需要在睡觉前看一个电子设备，你应该改变设置，使蓝光更少．此处是一个条件状语从句，所以用If/When．故填If/When．8．products；考查名词．product是可数名词，且前面没有限制词，所以要用复数．故填products．9．in；考查介词． in the evening在晚上．故填in．10．to sleep；考查不定式．make+it +for sb+to do结构，it 做形式宾语，to do是真正的宾语．故填to sleep．本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了晚上睡觉的合适的时间，以及睡前可以吃的东西．语法填空是通过语篇在语境中考查语法知识的运用能力，在解题前应快速浏览短文掌握大意，在读懂短文的基础上，结合短文提供的特定的语言环境去逐句分析．要解决好语法填空，离不开坚实的语法知识，有了坚实的语法知识才能对语言进行正确的分析和判断，从而答对题目．37.【答案】Dear Alice，How is it going？

Not that her classmates would agree．Their reaction to her abstract art was always "What's that supposed to be？" or "Artists use brushes to paint，not knives，string and cloth．" Still，she didn't care．Adriana painted to please herself，not others．When she showed the work to Mr．Marcus，her middle school art teacher，the net day，he shook his head and said sternly，"Please Adriana，I've had enough of this．" Anyone hearing this comment and its tone would naturally think Mr．Marcus was criticizing her work，but it was his frustration speaking．He loved Adriana's paintings and had repeatedly begged her to show them publicly．She always refused．As her middle school graduation approached，however，Adriana began worrying about university．Her parents would cover her study fees，but Adriana planned to pay for her university books，art supplies and accommodation herself．So，this time，when Mr．Marcus made the suggestion，Adriana agreed．A disbelieving grin appeared on Mr．Marcus's face．The following day，after checking the newspapers and visiting several local real estate offices，Adriana and Mr．Marcus wandered around the town looking for a suitable location．Finally，though，they could not find anything within their price range．At the day's end，the pair entered a small coffee shop to rest．Mr．Marcus could see the disappointment on Adriana's face and，as a woman came to take their order，said，"Don't worry．We'll find somewhere to show your art．" On hearing this，the woman said，"Did you say art？You know we show local artists' works right here in the café，" pointing to the paintings hanging on the walls．"Bring a few of your pieces around tomorrow for me to look at．I'm Susan by the way，the owner．" After thanking Susan for her offer，Adriana and Mr．Marcus left the cafe in amazement．The next morning Adriana brought along Sunset and Mr．Marcus the two paintings of Adriana's he'd purchased earlier that year．Susan studied the paintings in silence，concentrating hard on each one．After what felt like a lifetime，she turned to Adriana and said，"I'd be honoured to hang these in my café．"（1）What can we learn about Adriana from the first paragraph？A．She was very independent in her thinking．B．She was not very popular with her classmates．C．She was easily affected by other people's opinions．D．She was very confident in her own artistic abilities．（2）What was Mr．Marcus's opinion of Adriana's paintings？A．Strongly critical．B．Very positive．C．Somewhat frustrating．D．A little confusing．（3）Why did Adriana finally agree to show her artwork？A．Her high school graduation was getting nearer．B．She felt guilty about troubling Mr．Marcus．C．Her parents were in desperate need of money．D．She wanted to help support herself during university．（4）Adriana finally found a place to show her artwork mainly because of．A．friendly encouragementB．strong determinationC．careful planningD．good luck3．（8分）As we continue to explore farther out into our solar system and beyond，the question of humans living on other planets often comes up．Manned bases on the Moon or Mars for example，have long been a dream of many．There is a natural desire to explore as far as we can go，and also to extend humanity's presence on a permanent or at least semi﹣permanent basis．In order to do this，however，it is necessary to adapt to different extreme environments．On the Moon for example，a colony must be self﹣sustaining and protect its inhabitants from the airless，harsh environment outside．Mars，though，is different．While future bases could adapt to the Martian environment over time there is also the possibility of modifying the surrounding environment instead of just co﹣existing with it．This is the process of terraforming ﹣adjusting Mars' atmosphere and environment to make it more Earth﹣like．But the bigger question is，should we？One of the main issues is whether Mars has any native life or not and if it does，should it be preserved as much as possible？If the answer is yes，then large﹣scale human settlements on Mars should be completely off﹣limits．Small colonics might be fine，but living on Mars should not be at the expense of any native habitats，if they exist．If Mars is home to any indigenous life，then terraforming should be a non﹣issue；it simply should not be done．What if Mars is lifeless？Even if no life exists there，that untouched and unique alien environment needs to be preserved as it is as much as possible．We've already done too much damage here on our own planet．By studying Mars and other planets and moons in their current natural state，we can learn so much about their history and also learn more about our own world．We should appreciate the differences of other worlds instead of just transforming them to suit our own ambitions．（1）What is the best title for the text？A．A Is there life on Mars？B．Can we adapt to Mars？C．Should we terraform Mars？D．Are Mars and Earth So Different？（2）What does the author think we should do if life is found on Mars ？A．Ensure that it's not harmed．B．Negotiate with the Martians．C．Change the unpopulated regions．D．Assess the advantages and disadvantages．（3）What does the underlined word "indigenous" in paragraph 3 mean？A．Complex．B．Native．C．Foreign．D．Intelligent（4）How does the author develop his ideas in the text？A．By referring to others' research．B．By evaluating different planets．C．By justifying the benefits of terraforming．D．By arguing in support of one viewpoint．4．（8分）After 400 years，William Shakespeare （1564﹣1616）is still widely celebrated as a great crafter of language and playwright （剧作家）．But he was not the only great master of dramatic writing to die in 1616，and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting impact on theatre．While less known worldwide，Tang Xianzu is rightly considered China's greatest playwright and is highly admired in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions．Tang was born in 1550 in Linchuan，Jiangxi Province，and worked as a government official until，in 1598 and aged 49，he retired to focus on writing．Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays and poems，Tang wrote only four major plays：The Purple Hairpin，A Dream under a Southern Bough，Dream of Handan and The Peony Pavilion ﹣widely considered to be his masterpiece．In the latter three，much of the story is told through dream sequences．Tang used these scenes to explore human emotions in ways that challenged the feudal system of his time．It is a similar dream structure that we find in Shakespeare^ A Midsummer Night's Dream．Tang lived towards the end of the Ming Dynasty （1368﹣1644）and，similarly toShakespeare，his lasting success was partly due to the growth of theatre as an artistic practice during his lifetime．As in Shakespeare's England，it became hugely popular in China，with public theatres opening in different cities and traveling performance groups becoming common．Theatrical audiences started to populate open public spaces，and theatre as a popular form of entertainment found its place outside palaces．However，unlike in Shakespeare's England，there was hardly any mixing of the rich with commoners at theatrical events．During this time，the way in which play﹣texts were enjoyed，spread and performed also changed．Initially，Chinese dramas had an emphasis on poetic language and were distributed in book form，to be read like novels．They were seldom，if ever，performed．However，from the mid﹣16th century，kunqu opera，a form of musical drama，spread from southern China to become a symbol of Chinese culture．While Tang and Shakespeare lived a world away from each other，they share in common the humanity of their drama，their heroic figures，their love for language，a lasting popularity ﹣and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them．（1）Why does the writer refer to Shakespeare throughout this article about Tang？A．To compare the writing styles of the writers．B．To emphasize Tang's importance in literature．C．To assess the achievements of these two great writers．D．To examine the different influences of Tang and Shakespeare．（2）What distinguishes The Purple Hairpin from Tang's other plays？A．It does not rely heavily on dream scenes．B．It is widely considered to be his best work．C．It was the only play to be publicly performed．D．It challenged the feudal system of ancient China．（3）What characteristic was shared by both English and Chinese theatre during Tang's lifetime？A．Music and poetry were present in most performances．B．The popularity of public theatrical performances grew rapidly．C．Different social classes often attended the same performances．D．Most plays were written to be read as novels rather than performed．（4）Which of the following would the author probably agree with？A．Tang's plays were superior to his poems．B．Tang is more widely read than Shakespeare．C．Tang is the best playwright in Chinese history．D．Tang and Shakespeare knew of each other s works．第二节（共1小题；每小题10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．5．（10分）Up in the air﹣a history of ballooningThe first kind of air transportation was the balloon．People traveled by balloon one hundred years before there were planes or jet aircraft．Those early days of ballooning were exciting，but they were also risky．（1）However，the danger did not stop the balloonists．The first real balloon flight was in France in 1783．Two French brothers made a balloon．（2）Hot air is lighter than cold air，so it goes up．The hot air balloon went up 1，000 feet in the sky．（3）They built a fire under the balloon to make the air hot．This made the balloon stay up in the air for a few hours．But their balloon was tied to the ground．So it could not go anywhere．Soon balloonists tried longer flights．In 1785，an American and a Frenchman flew over the English Channel．They left England on a cold，clear January day．Halfway across，their balloon began to drop toward the water．They threw out some equipment and food to make the balloon lighter．The balloon continued to fall，so they threw out almost everything in the basket ﹣even some of their clothes．（4）During the nineteenth century，ballooning became a popular sport and balloons were also used by scientists to study the air and by armies in war time．After the airplane was invented，however，interest in balloons decreased dramatically．But some people today still like to go up in balloons．（5）What's more，they have a wonderful view of the world below．A．They filled a very large paper bag with hot air．B．High up in the balloon basket，they find quiet．C．Sometimes the balloons fell suddenly and sometimes they burned．D．Back then，few people understood how they were able to fly so far．E．Finally，after about three hours，they landed in France，cold but safe．F．Balloon races and displays remain popular all over the world to this very day．G．Later that same year，two other Frenchmen ascended in a basket under a balloon．第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共1小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）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涂黑．6．（30分）A special delight for many book lovers is to open a cover to find a map secreted

高考英语模拟试卷（一）题号I II III IV V VI总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AThe Worlds' Best Bookshops There's nothing like being surrounded by books，wherever you are．Here are the finest oases of literature that travellers can bring you．Daikanyama T-site | TokyoIt is well worth visiting even if just to admire the building's beautiful，crisscrossed architecture．Once you've had your fill of roaming three floors' worth of bookshelves，there's the bar，the coffee shop，or even the video rental space to give you more reason to stay just that little bit longer．Grab a book，order a beer and dive into its pages．I could have stayed hours here．City Lights | San FranciscoThe three-storey establishment publishes and sells titles in poetry，fiction，translation，politics，history and the arts．It hosts events and readings，and runs a non-profit of the same name that aims to promote diversity of voices and ideas in literature．It's opposite Vesuvio，a bar frequented by Kerouac and other Beat-generation writers and artists．Shakespeare and Company | ParisI made a special trip to the Left Bank for this one when I was in Paris．It has two floors packed with English-language texts，and I was particularly struck by any spare wall space devoted to notes from visitors - heartfelt messages to a loved one，dedications to the shop itself，or a quote from a favourite author or philosopher．Hutatma Chowk | MumbaiA few years ago I visited India，investigating Rudyard Kipling's connections with the country．I spotted a cheap copy of The Jungle Book on one of the tarp-covered book stalls at Hutatma Chowk （Martyrs' Square）．The booksellers here are like amateur librarians，able to lay their hands on almost any title you ask for．To me，those well-thumbed （翻旧了的）books spoke volumes about the changes of Mumbai's readers in the 150 years since the city gave us Kipling．1.In which bookshop can you buy a drink while visiting？______A. Daikanyama T-siteB. City LightsC. Shakespeare and CompanyD. Hutatma Chowk2.What can be learned about the book stalls at Hutatma Chowk？______A. People can meet Rudyard Kipling there．B.

It satisfied prisoners' curiosity．B. It aroused the guards' sympathy．C. It was popular among the prisoners．D. It raised prisoners' confidence in freedom．6.What contributes to the stranger's success in finding Morgan？______A. The email from a gentleman．B. Howard's experience in the war．C. Morgan's recalling of his father．D. Morgan's status in the field of art．7.What can we infer about Morgan from the last paragraph？______A. He didn't believe the stranger's story．B. He was excited to get the comic strip．C. He couldn't wait to tell others his good news．D. He hadn't heard about his father's war stories．Your brain isn't necessarily the same age as the rest of you．Now，it may be possible to predict how quickly a person's brain will age throughout life based on tests taken when he or she is three years old．A person's biological age may be a better indicator of their health than their real age．Brain age can be measured using brain scans and machine-learning to determine if a person's brain looks older or younger than the average healthy brain for people of the same age．To find out if brain age might reveal anything about a person's health in midlife，Max Elliott at Duke University in North Carolina and his colleagues assessed the brains of 869 adults in New Zealand who have undergone regular medical and cognitive （认知的）testing since they were 3 years old．When the volunteers，all aged between 43 and 46，underwent MRI brain scans，the team found that their brain ages ranged from 23 to 71．Those with older brain ages performed worse on tests of cognition，memory and IQ．The researchers also found that some people have a very advanced brain age but their bodies seem to be ageing slowly，and vice versa （反之亦然）．However，the team found that those who had the highest scores on cognitive tests when they were 3 years old went on to have the youngest-looking brains．This suggests we might be able to tell who is at risk of accelerated brain ageing early in life．Researchers hope that predicting brain ageing earlier in life could allow treatments for conditions like dementia （痴呆）to be started sooner．This means treatments might have a better chance of working．We don't yet have a way to treat brain ageing，but given the known benefits to the brain of healthy eating and exercise，these aren't a bad place to start．8.What helps predict the speed of one's brain ageing？______A. One's health condition．B. A test result at the age of 3．C. The actual age of one's brain．D. A machine for medical check．9.What is the purpose of Elliott's research？______A. To find out why people look older or younger．B. To measure people's brain age at different stages．C. To discover whether brain age can be measured by machines．D. To explore the relationship between brain age and future health．10.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about？______A. The influence of cognitive tests．B. The procedure of Elliott's study．C. The information about volunteers．D. The findings of the brain research．11.What do the findings of the research imply？______A. We should test our brain age earliest possible．B. People suffering dementia can go on working．C. Brain ageing could be predicted at an early age．D. Healthy eating and exercise can cure brain ageing．DOne of the most popular beliefs in parenting is the so-called Mozart effect，which says that listening to music by the Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart can increase a child'sintelligence．Some pregnant women have even gone so far as to play Mozart recordings on headphones pressed against their bellies．And it's not hard to see how Mozart's name became associated with accelerated development．He was history's greatest child genius，performing astonishing music for kings and queens at an age when many of us were content with tuneless singing "I'm a Little Teapot"．So，if you have kids or you're expecting to have them，how seriously should you take the Mozart effect？Will the child who doesn't listen to Mozart in the cradle （摇篮）be limited to an ordinary life？Are you a bad parent if your kids don't know about any works of Mozart？Relax．There is no scientific evidence that listening to Mozart improves children's cognitive abilities．The whole idea comes from a small study done in 1993，which found that college students who listened to Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major （K 448）showed some improvement in a test of spatial （空间的）skills．This finding was later described as something extremely amazing by a musician，Don Campbell，in a book．Campbell's claims about the super powers of Mozart's music were repeated endlessly in the media and fueled a craze for Mozart-based enrichment activities．In 1998，for example，the governor of Georgia in the USA requested funds to send classical-music CDs to all parents of newborns in the state．Since then，scientists have examined the claim that Mozart increases intelligence and found no evidence for it．The original experiment with college students was reviewed in 1999，and the increase in the students' spatial skills was found to be negligible．In 2007 the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research asked a team of experts to examine the scientific literature regarding Mozart and child development，and they found no reason to believe that it increased intelligence．12.People relate Mozart to children's intelligence development because he ______ ．A. owned extraordinary music talentB. could perform music as a childC. offered music to pregnant womenD. was an royal Austrian composer13.What can we know about the small study in 1993？______A. It added to the popularity of Mozart's music．B. It found no evidence for supporting Mozart effect．C. It helped college students make academic progress．D. It urged Georgia's governor to spread classical music．14.What does the underlined word "negligible" probably mean？______A. Sudden．B. Insignificant．C. Average．D. Steady．15.What can be the best title for the text？______A. New Findings：Mozart Effect to Be ProvedB. Secrets Uncovered：History of Mozart EffectC. Does Listening to Mozart Make Kids Smarter？D. How Does Mozart Improve Kids' Intelligence？二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Your comfort zone is a behavioral space where your activities and behaviors fit a routine and pattern that minimizes stress and risk．(1) You benefit in obvious ways：regular happiness，low anxiety，and reduced stress．Leaving your comfort zone can have very positive results，though．For one thing，you'll surely be more productive if you're willing to move out of it．With the sense of unease that comes from having deadlines and expectations，you'll have the drive and ambition to do moreand learn new things．(2) For another，learning to live outside your comfort zone can prepare you for life changes that force you out of it．Fear and uncertainty always exist in our life．By challenging yourself to things you normally wouldn't do，you can experience some of that uncertainty in a controlled and manageable environment．While outside your comfort zone can be a good place to be，(3) ．You can start by doing everyday things differently．For example，you can take a different route to work or try a new restaurant．Besides，you should remember to break out in small steps．You get the same benefits whether you go with long strides （大步）or you start slow．If you're socially anxious，don't suppose you have to gather the courage to ask your crush （爱慕之人）on a date right away．(4) Identify your fears，and then face them step by step．Trying new things is difficult，so it's important to understand how habits form and how we can break them．(5)A．It provides a state of mental security．B．it's of great necessity to find ways to break out of itC．it's a pleasant experience to stay in the comfort zoneD．You have to manage that stress and risk in a clever way．E．Just say hello to them and see where you can go from there．F．That means you will get more done and find smarter ways to work．G．And it's as important to press yourself out of your comfort zone by doing specific things．16.

basketball together, share meals and dance to hip-hop like no one‘s watching、 The trainer was asked to work with the13-year-old boy, who has Down syndrome (唐氏症), because his coworker who dealt with the boy was out of town last spring、 Callari had never worked with someone with a disability before、 He was anxious the first day he met Parker、But Parker’s big smile and cheery introduction immediately put him at ease、 He reminded Callari of himself when he was a teenager、 Like Parker, Callari has also faced his fair share of challenges over the years、As a high schooler, Callari described himself as being the weak kid、 When it came to sports, he wasalways overlooked、 His dream of playing baseball in college quickly faded away、 When he went to college, Callari turned to a new sport、 His younger brother trained him to become a boxer、 Callari participated in five matches、 Out of four of those fights he was the underdog, and he won three times、 "I know how it feels, "Callari

with Down syndromeCBeing mistreated at work can make people take out their negative emotions on loved ones at home、But a new study suggests that getting more exercise and sleep may help people better cope with them by leavingthem at work, where they belong、Previous research shows that employees who are looked down on or insulted by colleagues are likely to express their frustrations and behave angrily toward people outside of work, says study co-author Shannon Taylor, a management professor at the University of Central Floridas College of Business、The new study backs up this idea, but offers a bit of good news as well: Employees who averaged more than10,500 steps a day or burned at least2,100 calories were less likely to mistreat their cohabitants than those who averaged fewer steps or burned fewer calories、The findings also revealed that when employees felt they had a bad nights sleep because of work issues, they were more likely to be grouchy at home、 "When youre tired, you are either less able or less motivated to regulate yourself、" says co-author Larissa Barber, a professor of psychology at Northern Illinois University、Physical activity seems to counterbalance poor sleep, Barber says, because it promotes healthy brain functions needed to properly regulate emotions and behaviors、 "This study suggests that high amounts of exercise can be at least one way to improve the situations brought by sleeptroubles that lead to negative behaviors at home, "she says、Barber acknowledges that finding time to work out and get a full night’s sleep can be difficult when work pressure is mounting, and that often, job stress can be directly related to sleep quality、 But, she says, making the effort to burn some extra calories and blow off some steam can be worth it、

can replace good sleep in dealing with negative behaviors、D、 The amount of calories employees burn affects the frequency of losing temper、DGoogle, one of the worlds outstanding tech companies, was attacked、It wasn’t its search engine that was attacked or its advertising platform or even its social network, Google+、 Instead,it was a building、Two web security experts hacked (侵入) into its Wharf7 office in Sydney, Australia through Googles building management system (BMS)、 One of them, Billy Rios, says, My colleague and I have a lot of experience in web security, but it is not something that people couldnt learn、 Once you understand how the system works，it is very simple、”They found the system on Shodan, a search engine that lists devices connected to the Internet, and then ran it through their own softwareto identify who owned the building、 In the case of the Google hacking, the researchers had no immoral purpose and just informed Google about what they found、According to Mr、 Rios, who runs security company Whitescope, there are50,000 buildings currently connected to the Internet, including research institutes, churches and hospitals, and2, 000 of those are online with no password protection、 Martyn Thomas, a professor of IT at Gresham College in the UK, says, "It is beyond doubt that attempts to attack building management systems are happening all the time、”Making a building smart generally means connecting the systems that control heating, lighting and security to the Internet and the wider corporate network、 There was a strong reason for doing this, said Andrew Kelly, principal security consultant at defence company Qinetiq、Energy savings are the biggest factor in connecting building management systems to the corporate network, he says、 "It gives those who run the building better control and offers between20% to50% in energy savings, "he adds、But it also makes them less secure、 And if any of these feels like a Hollywood film, think again、32、 How did

The 19-year-old student, Alvin Rizqi Adrian, achieved his dream of studying in China with a scholarship provided by the Chinese government.Xie met the boy five years ago when she was selected to teach Chinese at Budi Utama Three Languages National School in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The school, founded in 2006 by local Chinese, teaches in three languages - Indonesian, English and Chinese. The school has more than 970 primary, middle and high students, half of whom have Chinese ancestry.Xie taught students to speak and comprehend Chinese during her year at the school. “Most Indonesian children start to learn Chinese after they enter primary s chool,” Xie said. “But the textbooks from Singapore seemed relatively difficult for them at that stage.” Xie modified the content of the textbooks to make it easier and more interesting for the Indonesian children to learn Chinese.One student in particula r, Alvin Rizqi Adrian, impressed Xie a great deal. “At that time, he was a middle school student. He was so interested in Chinese that he worked very hard to learn and practice,” she said. Since 2004, Guangdong has sent 1, 000 Chinese teachers to more than 30 Chinese schools in 10 countries and regions.Indonesia has the largest number of Chinese teachers sent from Guangdong, who mainly work in kindergartens, schools and universities founded by overseas Chinese. They usually spend one to two years on the foreign assignment.11 Those days in Indonesia made me feel very appreciated. The local people have respect for Chinese teachers; Xie said. She keeps in touch with her Indonesian students through the Internet. "If I had the opportunity to go to Indonesiato teach again, I would be very happy to see the children improve their Chinese,n Xie said.4. What made the Chinese-language teacher Xie Fang happy?A.

Local Indonesians Show Respect for Chinese TeachersCAfrica Water Week -nearly one billion people around the world have no access to drinking water, that lack of clean water association with un-proper hygiene and shortage of toilets kills 3. 3 million a year. And this is a common problem in many parts of the developing world, but its effect is not widely known, according to experts at the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.As part of the World Water Day tradition, the center is screening films about international water issues at the Environmental Film Festival in Washington, D. C. The films describe a variety of conflicts over water.“The challenge in presenting these films,” says Peter Sawyer, project coo rdinator at the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, “is to share with a wider audience the urgent issues surrounding water. Our goal for this screening is to just get these issues out there,” he says. “We don't feel that they attract public attention and we think that they should because they are really important.”In Dhaka's Challenge, filmmaker Stephen Sapienza explores one of the fastest growing cities in Asia. He says one-third of the 15 million people in the Bangladeshi capital live in places where safe water is limited. Each year 400, 000 newcomers join Dhaka's urban poor. City water from Dhaka's Water and Sewer Authority (WASA) comes at aprice, available only to land owners. The film records how a non-profit group helped change the law to give the same equal water rights to the urban poor.Diabalok Sing Ha, who is the group's founder, said, “A win-win situation actually occurred because Dhaka WASA wanted their incomes and on the other hand, poor people wanted the service and they immediately see the economic advantage of getting Dhaka W ASA water supply because that is cheap, so they immediately buy in.”“My story was just trying to point out that these problems are solvable on some level even if you have to start small and it's possible in the long ru n to save many lives,” says Sapienza.8. Which of the following is the main purpose of the films?A.To show the number of people lacking clean water.B. To let more people know the serious water problems.C. To attract people to pay attention to the world conflicts.D. To get people to have a good knowledge of water. 9. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Ways to get cheap water. B. The film Dhaka's Challenge. C. Filmmaker Stephen Sapienza. D. A non-profit group. 10. Which of the following does Diabalok Sing Ha agree with? A. Most people can't afford the water supply. B. Rich people in Dhaka will buy in at once. C. Poor people in Dhaka need the service of water. D. Dhaka WAS A will see soon the economic advantage. 11. What does Sapienza intend to tell us by making the film Dhaka's Challenge? A. The problem of water can possibly be solved. B. All the people cannot get city water from WASA. C. A win-win situation is expected by every filmmaker. D. Dhaka WASA is very popular with the local people. DAn advance in electronic publishing could make the ebook you are reading seem as dated as a silent film. Publishers hope to explore the growing success of ebooks by releasing versions with added soundtracks and musical accompaniments.The noises in the first multimedia books- released in Britain on Friday - include rain hitting a window in aSherlock Holmes tale. When the plot of a book reaches the most exciting part, background scores will create tension. In America, works by Shakespeare and Jane Austen have already been released with music and background noise so that, for example, readers can hear tea cups clinking in Mr. Darcy's garden as they read Pride and Prejudice.Supporters argue that sound effects are the next logical development for ebooks and will add excitement for younger readers. Critics, however, will argue that the noise will ruin the simple pleasure of having the imagination stimulated by reading.Caroline Michel, chief executive of the literary agency, said the new generation of computer-literate readers was used to multiple sensory input. She said, “Young people have split computer screens where they may be watching television and replying to an email at the same time. If that's what the market wants then we should respond to the market.”Boo ktrack's sound effects work by estimating the user's reading speed. Each time you “turn” a page, the software reassesses where you have reached in the text and times the sounds to switch on accordingly. If the soundtrack becomes out of synch(同步), a click on any word will re-set it.Some authors fear that a soundtrack could destroy the peace and quiet of libraries and ruin the pleasure of reading. David Nicholls, author of One Day, the bestseller now released as a film, said, “This sounds like the opposite of reading. I have enough trouble reading an ebook because I’m constantly distracted by emails.”Stuart MacBride, the crime writer whose novel Shatter the Bones was an ebook bestseller, sells 18% of his books as electronic downloads. He said, “If I’m reading, I will do the noise in my head. I don't need someone to tell me what tea cups clinking sounds like. That would irritate me.”12. What's the passage mainly about?A. Opinions about ebooks with soundtracks.B. Response to the need of the book market.C. Reasons for traditional ebooks becoming outdated.D. Suggestions on encouraging readers' imagination.13. What do publishers expect an ebook soundtrack to do?A. Help to release an ebook as a film.B. Help readers improve reading speed.C. Add tension at a book's exciting point.D. Get readers familiar with the background.14. Who is in favour of added soundtracks for ebooks?A. Mr. Darcy.B. Caroline Michel.C. David Nicholls.D. Stuart MacBride.15. What do we know about Stuart MacBride?A. He was a person who was easy to get angry.B. He knew a great deal about tea and tea culture.C. Eighty-two percent of his books described crime.D. He imagined sounds related to the story when reading.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岀能填入空白处的最佳选项。
