2017年高考英语阅读理解模拟题107
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A，B，C，D ）中，选出最佳选项。
ARecent studies suggest that family arrangements in Western societies have not changed as much in the last few centuries as is generally believed. Yet most sociologists agree that in modern societies, there are fewer opportunities for friendship and support from relatives. Parents and children often live apart from other relatives, and seldom visit them. Also, the family moves when a parent accepts a job in another place or when it decides to live in a better neighbourhood. Together, loneliness and mobility (迁移) force immediate family members to depend heavily on one another for affection and companionship.Because the family is one of the few ongoing sources of affection and companionship in modern societies, a high percentage of people continue to marry, even though it is possible for a single man and woman to live together without marrying. On the other hand, because affection and companionship have become so important, families are more likely to break up if the husband’s or wife’s emotional (情感的) needs are not met within the family circle—even if all other family functions (功能) are being satisfactorily performed, and in this sense, affection and companionship have become the touchstone of the modern family.1. It is generally believed that ___________.A. many people spend their lives in familiar communitiesB. a person can easily get in touch with relatives in times of difficultyC. the organization of the family has changed a great dealD. Western societies have not changed much in the past few years2. Sociological studies show that ______________.A. the more the family moves, the less support it gets from its distant relativesB. parents and children live together to make up for the lack of relatives outside the familyC. family arrangements have changed and so there is little need for companion of relativesD. family members are separated from each other because of lack of support from relatives3. The underlined word in the last paragraph may be replaced by“___________”.A. resultB. troubleC. functionD. standard4. In the last paragraph, the writer mainly wants to say ___________.A. affection and companionship are important for the family and they can be gained from nowhere but the familyB. affection and companionship can come from the family and at the same time safeguard the familyC. there are few ways to gain affection and companionship but the best way to get them is from the familyD. in modern societies a lot of families break up and it’s just for the lack of affection and companionshipBA woman whose sports car was stolen with her dog in it put up notices all over the area that made it clear getting back her pet was more important than her car.“Whoever did this can keep my car. Please let Benjerman come home,”the notice said.It is not known whether the thief showed any pity, but almost 30 hours after the 1 pm theft Friday, Kimberly Atkins of Dover and Benjerman, a 12-year-old black retriever(猎犬), were reunited after police located them in Barrington.“He’s hungry, he’s dirty, but he’s very happy to be home,” Atkins said. The car was found at about 5 pm Saturday off Route 125 in a swampy area frequented by off-the-road cars and dirt bikes. However, the police couldn’t control Benjerman, and they had to call Atkins to come and get him.Atkins said the thief cared for Benjerman a little by providing him with some dry cat food. She believed Benjerman ended up drinking some muddy water in the area.She said they have been together for nearly 11 years after she took him back from a society shelter in Dallas, Texas.Before Benjerman was found, Atkins and several friends put up notices all over the city and in Somersworth. They also contacted animal shelters throughout southern New Hampshire and Massachusetts.The notice stated there was a reward, and also that the dog needed medication. Any caller could remain anonymous(匿名的).Atkins had parked the car outside a hardware store with the keys inside and gone in to rent a carpet cleaner.“It was 10 minutes and I came out and my car was gone along with Benjerman in broad daylight,” Atkins said. The car thief threw Atkins’ wallet and other personal items out of the car before escaping from the scene.5. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A car with a dog was stolenB. Lucky dog was returned to his ownerC. Stealing cars: a most important social problemD. Woman wants dog back more than stolen car6. Which of the following shows the correct order of what happened?a.

Atkins hired a carpet cleaner in a hardware store.A. d, e, a, b, cB. d, e, a, c, bC. e, a, d, b, cD. e, a, c, d, b7.

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Benjerman was sent back immediately after Atkins put up the notices.B. Atkins and her friends made a great effort to look for Benjerman.C. The thief gave the dog back but kept the sports car.D. The dog was back at 1 pm on a Friday.CBeginning college is exciting: new ideas to explore, new challenges to be met and many decisions to be made. Your future begins here.However, you will find college life is different from your previous school environment. Many of us can be easily overwhelmed(压垮) by the details of running a well-balanced life. While some of us may have the know-how, I guess there are more of us who can benefit from learning about the experiences of other who have walked the college halls before you.The following you may find of use about life on campus.● Plan well. There are so many new things to do at a new college or university, social and academic(学术的). Give yourself time to make new friends and become familiar with the campus, but don’t forget why you are there. Give some time for social activities and manage your time wisely.● If you don’t have a “system” for planning your time now (like a day time, a computer date book), get one. Most of all, don’t depend on your memory.● Don’t miss the guidelines, restrictions, rules and regulations of all kinds can usually be found in your student handbook. Consider them well-balanced food for thought. What dates are important? What pieces of paper need to be handed in? What can/can’t you do in your student residence(住处)? Who has authority for what? What do you need to complete to graduate?● Write the word “STUDY” on the walls of our bedroom and bathroom, and maybe it will help to write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the telephone, TV and the kitchen table. Consider this – you are paying thousands of dollars for courses. You pay every time you have to repeat or replace a course.9. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To offer advice on college life.B. To explain why college life is exciting.C. To describe the importance of college life.D. To persuade you to go to college10. From the passage, we can know .A. one will have more freedom at collegeB. one will make more friends at collegeC. one prepares for one’s future career and life at collegeD. professors at college will provide you with many new ideas11. What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “know-how” (in Paragraph 2)?A. An understanding of how things are going at college.B. A practical knowledge about how to behave and what to do at college.C. College halls where rules and regulations are presented.D. An environment completely different from the one you’re used to.12. According to the passage, college students .A. needn’t learn from those who went to college before themB. should spend as much time as possible on social activitiesC. should have a “system” for planning their timeD. are supposed to repeat or replace at least one courseDAlthough the Spring Festival is generally regarded as the most import celebration of the year, the fall and winter have a number of non-native holidays that are gaining popularity among the Chinese.These include Halloween, Christmas and Valentine’s Day. In the past, these foreign holidays were observed only by those who worked for foreign companies or those who had studied or live abroad. But today, many Chinese celebrate the holidays in some manners, such as sending text messages to friends and having a large dinner in a restaurant. Valentine’s Day is mainly for young couples, while Halloween is most celebrated by children.Christmas is becoming increasingly popular among the Chinese, although originally it was heavily promoted by business. During the holiday, some shopping malls put up Christmas trees, inducing(劝说) visitors to write down their Christmas wishes and hang the notes on the trees. In just one or two days, the trees will be filled with all kinds of Christmas messages. For example, “I wish those who love me and whom I love happiness in the next year.” “May God bless my parents’ health and happiness.” “I hope my girlfriend will be admitted by renowned universities.”Sociologists say the rising popularity of Christmas is due to the cheerful and bright colors associated with the holiday. Red is the most popular holiday color in China, representing harmony and indicating a happy event. On Christmas, people may find that Santa Claus and traditional red Chinese lanterns go well together.13. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Foreign holidays are as important as the Spring Festival in China now.B. People wanted to get profit from Christmas at first.C. Only people who come back from other countries celebrate foreign holidays.D. People hang their wishes on trees when foreign holidays come.14.

Christmas becomes popular in China because_______________.A. people can do shopping during ChristmasB. people like the color of ChristmasC. people can send text messages to their friendsD. children can play happily on this day16. What can we conclude according to the passage?A. Christmas is the only non-native holiday that the Chinese like.B. All foreign holidays are celebrated in China now.C. More and more foreign holidays are popular in China now.D. Young couples in China like celebrating Halloween most.EThe Arctic is one of the few places in the world untouched by pollution where you can use its beautiful nature. Join our ship the Northern Star from 2 to 18 July, for a 17-day voyage to the Arctic. During the voyage you are able to relax yourself.

AA common overbooking problem on a United Airlines flight on Sunday ended with a man being bloodied and dragged from his seat and an already troubled airline earning more bad press. How did it all go so wrong?Overbooking on flights happens all the time. Empty seats cost airlines money, so they offset(抵消) the number of passengers who miss flights by selling too many tickets. In this case, the problem arose because United decided at the last minute to fly four members of staffto a connection point and needed to bump four passengers to make way for them.When there’s an overbooking issue the first step is to offer an inducement to the passengers to take a later flight. On Sunday passengers were offered $400, a hotel room for the night, and a flight the following afternoon. When no-one took the offer, the amount was upped to $800. Still no-one bit, so a manager boarded the flight and informed passengers that four people would be selected to leave the flight.That selection is based on several fac tors, but frequent fliers and higher fare-paying passengers are given priority to stay aboard, a spokeswoman for United confirmed.A couple who were selected agreed to leave the plane voluntarily.A third passenger, reportedly the wife of the man who was forcibly removed, also agreed. The man, who said he was a doctor and had to see patients in the morning, refused. An airline manager told him that security would be called if he did not obey. their conversation endedwith the man being yanked from his seat onto the floor and dragged off, blood visible on his face.United Airlines CEO said the airline would review the event and reach out to the passenger, but the spokeswoman could not confirm whether United was in touch with him yet.1. Why does overbooking on flights always occur?A. United bumped four passengers to spare seats for its staff.B. Airlines expect to earn as much money as possible.C. Airlines want to make up for a loss of empty seats.D. It happens by accident.2. What can we inferred about the selection mentioned in the text?A. People are selected at random by the computer.B. Frequent fliers will never be asked to leave.C. The selected doctor may be the low fare-paying passengers or not a frequent flier.D. The selected passengers will be offered no money.3. Which of the following statements about four passengers is true?A. Four people were directly selected to leave at first.B. The couple of the doctor agreed to leave voluntarily.C. The doctor was dragged off without any hurt.D. The doctor refused to leave because he had to see his patient next morning.4. What does the underlined part “reach out to” in Paragraph 6 refers to?A. Get in contact withB. Make up forC. Apologize toD. Team up withBThe days of having to remember your ID could soon be a thing of the past. The famous tourist town of Wuzhen, China, is now using facial recognition technology to act as its entry pass through the gates of the attraction. The system uses cameras to notice people as they approach the entry, and checks these against a database of registered visitors within a few seconds. The technology is thought to be up to 99.77 percent accurate and able to distinguish people better than a human.Wuzhen is a popular tourist town with visitors going there in large numbers to see its stunning river system and museums. Baidu, a web firm often referred to as “Chinese Google”, created the system. When people now check in to their accommodation, they will have their photo taken and uploaded to a central database upon leaving and re-entering the town, the system will re-check that they are still a guest at a hotel, before allowing them back in.The technology is being used to track the 5,000 visitors that stay in the town’s hotels every day. Yuanqing Lin, director of the Institute of deep Learning at Baidu, told The Verge, “With our technology, you don’t need to g ive your ID. When you are approaching a gate, it will take a photo of you and compare that photo to the database.” Wuzhen used to monitor its visitors using a ticket-entry system, but this could easily be abused. It was discovered that some people were sharing their tickets to avoid paying.Baidu’s system is based on neural networks, which can process huge amounts of data--- more than one billion faces. As well as recognizing faces, the system can also discover facial movements, so it can’t be fooled by s omeone holding up a mask.Baidu is also using the software for employee entry at its Beijing headquarters.5. What can be learnt about the facial recognition technology from the passage?A. The technology could soon be a thing of the past.B. The technology can be over 99.77% accurate.C. The technology can match visitors’ faces with those in the databaseD. The technology is being used to track where the 5,000visitors are going.6. Which of the following word can replace the underlined word “stunning” in paragraph 2?A. popularB. attractiveC. brilliantD. funny7. How does Wuzhen monitor its visitors now?A. By using facial recognition technologyB. By using a ticket-entry systemC. By using ID cardD. By using tickets8. What is the passage mainly about?A. Facial recognition is widely used in China.B. Baidu, a web firm, is using the recognition system.C. Chinese tourist town Wuzhen is using facial recognition.D. Wuzen is a popular tourist town with many visitors goingthere to see the system.CAbout three decades ago, China was known as the “Bicycle Kingdom”. But the two-wheeled approach of transport’s popularity began to fade, with many bikes soon replaced by their fuel-powered competitors.But recent months have seen a repopulality of the humble bike across China, with an increasing number of people choosing cycling instead of driving to schools, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. The introduction of bike-sharing schemes, pioneered by start-up company like Ofo and Mobike, has brought the trend to a new level. According to data shown by iResearch Consulting Group, the first week of this year saw5.85 million active users of Mobike while Ofo had 1.4 million active users.People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphone. The bikes are equipped with GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They’re popular among many Chinese people as they provide an effective solution to the “last mile” problem, which refers to the final leg of a person’s journey.However, the schemes have also led to problems such as illegal parking, damage on purpose and theft. To deal with these problems, the company came up with the idea of encouraging people to return the bikes to stations by rewarding free time f or their next rides.9. Why did the two-wheeled approach of transport become less popular?A. Because China is no longer a bicycle kingdom.B. Because cycling is not convenient.C. Because fuel-powered competitors were replaced by riding.D. Because mostly driving took the place of cycling.10. What can we learn from the passage?A. The bike’s popularity began to fade.B. Only Ofo and Mobike creat ed the trend to a new level of using bikes.C. The shared bikes offer a useful approach to the final leg problem.D. The company rewarded some money and free time to the users.11. What is the best title of this passage?A. the new mode of humble bikesB. the development of humble bikesC. the advantages of humble bikesD. the issue of humble bikesDThere are often many assumptions made about young people aged 15 to 21, but only a few can be proved with hard evidence. Now, newresearch has been published to help people get a better idea of these misunderstood young people.According to an international survey in 2016, young people in emerging economies like China and India have a greater sense of hope about the future, compared with those living in Europe, North Americaand Australia.The survey was carried out between September a nd October by the Varkey Foundation, a UK-based non-profit organization. It surveyed20,000 young people who were born between 1995 to 2001 in 20 countries. They were asked questions about their hopes, ambitions, personal views and community values.It was found that 53 percent of those questioned in Chinathought the world was becoming a better place – the highest percentage among the countries surveyed. Some 93 percent of them also felt hopeful for the future because of advances in technology, such as in medicine, renewable energy and computing. Indian youth were the second most optimistic, with 49 percent taking a positive view of the world’s prospects.As for young people in China, what they fear most is the impact of climate change – some 82 percent of those who responded to thesurvey said so. Vikas Pota, chief executive of the Varkey Foundation, said it was encouraging that young people in China were aware howserious the problem of climate change is.“This is surely a hopeful development. T he young population of China is more aware than anyone of the seriousness of the climatecrisis –and will be pressing for change,” he told South China Morning Post. The overall survey showed a sense of optimism in the attitudes and opinions of the gen eration that is likely to shape the next few decades, according to Pota.“They are more likely to travel, to migrate across borders and to build friendships in other countries than any previous generation,” he said. “Global citizenship is not dead. It could just be getting started.”12. What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A. Young people often have better ideas.B. Young people are better than assumed.C. Young people are always misunderstood.D. Assumptions about young people are hard to prove.13. The survey shows us that _______.A. about half of the Chinese youth are positive about the future.B. 49% Indians take a positive view of the world’s prospects.C. Chinese youth are the most optimistic about the future.D. European youth have no hope for the future.1 4. What was Pota’s attitude towards Chinese youth?A. satisfiedB. criticalC. objectiveD. worried15. What’s the best title for the passage?A. Chinese youth misunderstoodB. Chinese youth encouragingC. Chinese youth pessimisticD. Chinese youth optimistic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。

ALiving with other students can be a wonderful experience. Here are a few tips for student accommodations that can help ensure a great experience and build lifelong friendships: Screen your roommates carefully if you are given a choice. Combining the living spaces of several students into one location can be exciting and rewarding experience for the outgoing students. If you are on the shy side, or prefer a quiet group to study with, pick quieter roommates.Divide the bills evenly. Some students are far less responsible than their roommates and tend to let their part of the finance slide. Dissatisfaction is quick to build when everyone has to pay the bill for a fellow student who can’t seem to pay his/her share of the money.Carry your part of the load. Everyone has to clean the bathroom and the kitchen sometime.Don’t avoid your part of responsibility. Student accommodations can get messy and it involves everyone to keep them tidy and healthy.Think about someone else before you think about yourself. Put your roommates interests above your own. Life will be far enjoyable when everyone is concerned about the feelings property and studies of each other.Be open and honest. Hostilities (敌意) and frustrations may cause problems that can’t be fixed. Everyone brings different standards and expectations to group living and it’s in everyone’s best interest to put them into the open. Disagreements can be managed more warmly when your are willing to be both open and listen to others.1. When it comes to the bills, every member is advised to________ .A. foot the bill for a fellow studentB. let his/her part of the finances slideC. pay his/her own share of moneyD. take more responsibility than others2. The role “carry your part of the load” means every room member should ________.A. avoid making too much noiseB. take turns to keep the room tidyC. take care of others when they are illD. avoid staying up and oversleeping3. To be a good member, one should learn to ________ according to the passage.A. choose his/her roommates at randomB. balance his/her interests with othersC. express his/her disagreement openly and honestlyD. tolerate different standards and expectationsBHi, everybody. Over the past couple months, most of the political headlines you’ve read have probably been about the government shutdown and the launch of the Affordable Care Act(平价医疗法案). And I know that many of you have rightly never been more frustrated with Washington.But if you look beyond those headlines, there are some good things happening in our economy. And that’s been my top prio rity（优先考虑）since the day I walked into the Oval Office.After decades in which the middle class was working harder and harder just to keep up, and apunishing recession（衰退）that made it worse, we made the tough choices required not just to recover from crisis, but to rebuild on a new foundation for stronger, more durable economic growth.Five years later, we have fought our way back. Our businesses have created 7.8 million new jobs in the past 44 months. Another 200,000 Americans went back to work last month.The American auto industry has come back with more than 350,000 new jobs –-- jobs putting out and selling the high-tech, fuel-efficient cars the world wants to buy. And they’re leading the charge in a business that has added jobs for the first time since the 1990s –-- a big reason why our businesses sell more goods and services “Made in America” than ever before.We decided to stop our addiction to foreign oil. And today, we produce more renewable energy than ever, more natural gas than anybody, and for the first time in nearly 20 years, America now produces more oil than we buy from other countries.We decided to fix a broken health care system. And even though the task has been rough, so far, about 500,000 Americans gain health coverage starting January 1st. And by the way, health care costs are growing at the slowest rate in 50 years.And one more thing: since I took office, we’ve cut our deficits (赤字) by more than half. And that makes it easier to invest in the things that create jobs –-- education, research, and so on.Imagine how much farther along we could be if both parties were working together. Think about what we could do if the few didn’t hold the economy hostage (人质) every few months, or waste time on dozens of votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act rather than try to help us fix it.In the weeks ahead, I’ll keep talking about my plan to build a better bargain for the middle class. Good jobs. A good education. A chance to buy a home, save, and retire. And yes, the financial security of affordable health care. And I’ll look for any willing partners who want to help.Because of your hard work and tough sacrifices over the past five years, we’re pointed in the right direction. But we’ve got more work to do to keep moving that way.And as long as I’m President, I’ll keep doing everything I can to create jobs, grow the economy, and make sure that everyone who works hard has a chance to get ahead. Thanks, and have a great weekend.4. Which of the following is not the reason for people’s frustration with the government?A. The government shutdownB. Unemployment rateC. The addiction to foreign oilD. Cancelling the Affordable Care Act5. Why does the president mention more goods and services “Made in America”?A. To show that American goods and services are very popular.B. To indicate that American people should be dependent on themselves.C. To show that the employment rate has been increased.D. To show that American auto industry enjoys high technology.6. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “repeal”?A. put an end toB. try hard to fixC. make strongerD. get accustomed to7. According to the speech, which of the following can be implied?A. American people have every reason to feel frustrated with the government.B. Health care costs are growing at the slowest rate in 50 years.C. The president feels sorry that the economy is not moving in the right direction.D. Some government officials don’t agree with the president on the medical care sy stem.CConventional wisdom is a major barrier to innovation（创新）that threatens the survival of companies everywhere. It’s based on the assumption that old ideas will always work, so they shouldn’t be challenged. While this may be a valid assumption in situations that don’t change, it’s unlikely to hold true in a changing situation. In today’s rapid changing global environment, old methods often don’t work, and stubbornly using them can lead to major problems.Most people seem to agree with conventional wisdom because it gives one a false sense of security. If everyone else believes it, then it must be tree. Individuals who use conventional wisdom are certain that they are right, and being fight is good. They want to continue using old ideas rather than take risks with changes that might not work. In 1977, Ken Olsen, co-founder and CEO of Digital Equipment Corporation（DEC）, stated “There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home.” Despite being a dominant leader in the computer industry, DEC n o longer exists.People seem to forget that since innovation is a change, there can be no innovation without change. Unfortunately, conventional wisdom prevents leaders, followers and companies from changing and therefore innovating. If companies don’t innovate, but their competitors do, the future is likely to be problematic（成问题的）. Breaking from conventional wisdom has led to many of the most innovative companies and products in history across many industries, so it has a powerful effect on business success.Ted Turner（founder of CNN）knew little, if anything, about the news business, but he knew it was inconvenient to watch news only at the dinner hour, as was common before CNN. Turner’s solution was to create a cable （有线的）channel devoted to news 24 hours a day. The news establishment reflected conventional wisdom at the time, and predicted his idea would fail because no one wanted to watch the news all day. However, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that viewers don’t have to watch the news all day for the CNN to work. Viewers just have to watch when they want to get information. Due to conventional thinking, the critics failed to recognize the opportunity that was clear to Ted. They assumed that only what was familiar to them could work in the future.Conventional wisdom prevents creativity, flexibility and risk-taking, so unconventional leaders enthusiastically break from it. To survive, boom and maintain competitive advantage, companies must be flexible when reacting to change.8.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
AIt is obvious that doctors recognize obesity（肥胖）as a health problem. So why is itso hard for them to talk to their patients about it?The results of two surveys, one of primary care physicians and the other of patients,found that while most doctors want to help patients lose weight and think it is theirresponsibility to do so, they often don’t know what to say.“So while doctors may tell patients they are overweight, the conversation often endsthere,” said Christi ne C. Ferguson, director of the Stop Obesity Alliance. “Patients are nottold about the possibility of diabetes (a kind of disease),” she said. “And doctors don’t feel they have good information to give. They felt that they didn’t have adequate tools toaddress this problem.The lack of dialogue hurts patients, too. The patient survey, of over 1,000 adults,found that most overweight patients don’t e ven know that they’re too heavy. Only 39percent of overweight people surveyed had ever been told by a health care provider thatthey were overweight.Of those who were told they were obese, 90 percent were also told by their doctors tolose weight, the survey found. In fact most have tried to lose weight and may have beensuccessful in the past—and many are still trying, the survey found. And many understandthat losing even a small amount of weight can have a positive impact on their health andreduce their risk of obesity-related diseases like hypertension and diabetes.Dr. William Bestermann Jr., medical director of Holston Medical Group, in Kingsport,Tenn. , which ranks the 10th in obesity among metropolitan areas in the United States,said the dialogue had to be an ongoing one and could not be dropped after just onesuccessful with helping your patients lose weight,mention of the problem. “If you’re to beyou have to talk to them at actually every visit about their progress, and find something toencourage them and coach them,” he said.He acknowledged that many doctors tend to be not optimistic.“Part of t his is that there's this common belief, and doctors are burdened by it, too,that overweight people are weak-willed and just don’t h ave any willpower and areself-indulgent and all that business,” he said. “If you think that way, you’re not going to spend time having a productive conversation.”1. What is the Stop Obesity Alliance most probably in Paragraph 3?A. An organization of doctors specializing in obesity.B. An organization of patients suffering from obesity.C. A research group that conducts special surveys about overweight people.D. A research group dealing with doctor-patient relationship.2. How many of the patients surveyed have been advised by their doctors to loseweight?A. About 350.B. About 390.C. About 900.D. About 1,000.3. What can be inferred about obesity patients in Paragraph 5?A. They are not as hopeless as doctors think they are.B. Most of them have tried hard to lose weight, but in vain.第1页共6页。
2017高考英语模拟练习及答案(精编)
英语模拟套题第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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。
AThe homeless dog, known as Xiao Sa, has been following a team of cyclists for 24 days along 1,833 kilometers of highway from Kangding, Sichuan province, to Lhasa in Tibet.Nobody knows where the white dog came from or how long she has been straying on highway G318. Netizens call her the ―dog with determination‖ and the micro blog ―Go Go Xiao Sa‖ recording her life has attracted more than 37,000 followers in two week s.A picture of Xiao Sa in the arms of a young man in front of the Potala Palace on Thursday night drew more than 4,000 comments congratulating the small dog and expressing dreams of going to Lhasa.The young man in the picture is Zhang Heng, 22, a student in Wuhan, Hubei province. As his graduation trip, he decided to face the challenge of riding to Lhasa alone. On the way he met a lonely dog. ―She was lying, tired, on the street around Yajiang, Sichuan province,‖ he said. ―So we fed her, and then she followed our team.‖―We felt she might want to come along with us, so we decided to bring her along to the end.‖ A week later, Zhang and his buddies opened a micro blog account for her. ―We thought the dog was encouraging us, and wanted others to know its story,‖ he said. They created the name Xiao Sa by combining xiao meaning ―little‖ with the last syllable of Lhasa.During their journey, Xiao Sa, Zhang and his team covered more than 1,700 kilometers and climbed 10 mountains higher than 4,000 meters. Xiao Sa just ran up the mountains or along dirt roads.―Many people stopped cycling in some sections, then took the bus, but the dog made it,‖ he said. Zhang put the dog on the back of the bike when the team was riding downhill. ―The speed can reach 70 kilome ters per hour, impossible for the dog to catch us.‖Zhang Heng, who accompanied Xiao Sa for 20 days, called her ―a buddy and a friend‖. ―I would like to take the dog home and take care of her. She has been a stray on the road for a long time. She needs a home.‖21 How did the netizens feel when they read the micro blog related to the dog?A. inspiredB. sympatheticC. pitifulD. unbelievable22. Zhang Heng and his team opened a micro blog account for the dog just because __________.A. the dog is very cute and friendlyB. the dog encouraged them and they wanted more people to know its storyC. it is the first dog to travel to LhasaD. They had nothing else to do on their journey23. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. The dog had been straying on highway G318 before it met the team of cyclists.B. During their journey, Zhang and his team climbed 10 mountains higher than 4,000 meters.C. The micro blog ―Go Go Xiao Sa has attracted more than 37,000 followers in two weeks.D. The dog ran alone behind them when the team was riding downhill.24. Which might be the best title for the passage?A. A Dog with DeterminationB. A Micro Blog and a DogC. Travel to Lhasa with a DogD. A Dog Follows a TeamBI’ve made a friend through a friend of my mother’s. My mom and her mom met through a skiing group for people with disabilities. I am disabled, and so is her mother. We lived about 45 minu tes’ drive away from each other, but we spent as much time together as possible. We even went to summer camps together. This was often a challenge, given that she was able-bodied while I was not. I went to YMCA and Girl Scout camps with her for able-bodied kids. A lot of time there were activities I just couldn’t keep up with, or sometimes I wasn’t able to participate in at all. A couple of summers, I also tried attending summer camps for kids with disabilities. But I felt terribly bored, and found that I w asn’t getting enough physical activities. One year, we signed up for the Girl Scout camp together, again. Someone put me in with the younger kids, thinking it would give me more opportunities. My friend stayed with me and the young ones. We were both uncomfortable, due to the fact that we were the only girls in our group able to do many things. There was a big sister pro-gram, and we were even older than our big sisters! I will never forget what this friend did for me by sticking with me through the whole two weeks. Not only did she stick with me, but she did everything she could to make it more fun. I don’t know if she had any idea how much her efforts meant to me then, or how much they still mean. To me, what she did was what a true friend does.25. What do we learn about the author?A. She suffered a lot from her disability.B. She and her good friend’s mother are both disabled.C. She preferred to attend camps intended for disabled children.D. She is inspired by the memory of her friend.26. When they were at the Girl Scout camp, ________.A. the author sometimes couldn’t make herself adapt to the activitiesB. her friend staying with her hurt the author’s feelingsC. they felt very different from the other girls they were withD. the author felt bored for not getting enough physical activities27. The author thinks a true friend should _________.A. spare no efforts to helpB. do everything for the otherC. give constant care and praiseD. stick with the other through hard timesCBreak Your Bad MoodHaving one of those days or weeks-- when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster--often within a day or two.Walk it offExercise is the most popular bad-- mood buster. A person who’s in a bad mood has low energy and high tension, taking a fast ten--minute walk, or doing some quick exercises can do wonders towards changing that bad mood.Tune it outListening to your favorite music for a while can also make tension go away quickly, because music starts associations with past positive experiences we’ve had.Give yourself a pep （激励的）talkStop and listen to what’s on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper--the pessimistic messages you've been giving yourself and then give optimistic answers. (―I still don't have a job.‖ vs ―I have two interviews next week.‖) Reduce your stressRelaxation techniques are wonderful modifiers. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing, all of which sound complicated but aren’t. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to be against distress is to make a to-do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options. By taking control over certain areas, you realize you’re not helpless. You ca n make changes in your mood and life.Avoid things that won’t improve your moodTV may not help much: You need to increase your energy level and stimulate your mind-something that the TV show ―Neighbors‖ won’t do. And before you reach for that piece o f cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. A better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta(意大利面食), produce a calming effect on people who have a desire for them.28. We learn from the text that it might help us to get rid of a bad mood ________A. to do nothing about itB. to take a long walk on the beachC. to do some exercises with light musicD. to talk about it to neighbors29. Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?A. It is not complicated to do so.B. It is an area which can be easily controlled.C. It helps beat a bad mood.D. It brings us a new technique.30. TV may not improve your mood because ________.A. it sometimes shows what happens around youB. it keeps you sitting without movingC. it reminds you of eating and drinkingD. it produces a calming effect31. This text most probably appears in ________.A. a book on physical exercisesB. a doctor’s handbookC. a noticeD. a magazineDI hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning how to stand on your own two feet. But take a look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at (attempting to seize) one another's hands for reassurance.They claim that they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in mussel. But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus and such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) — into a lager cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry had firmly carved out a teenager market. These days everyteenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today's parents have come toward high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.32. The author's purpose of writing this passage is to tell____.A. readers how to be popular with people aroundB. teenagers how to decide things for themselvesC. parents how to control and guide their childrenD. people how to understand and respect each other33.According to the author, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but in fact, most of them __________________.A. have much difficulty understanding each otherB. lack confidenceC. dare not cope with problems single handedD. are very much afraid of getting lost34. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. There is no popularity that really counts.B. What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths.C. It is not necessarily bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates.D. Most teenagers claim that they want to do what they like to do.35. During the teenage years, one should learn to __________________A. differ from others in as many ways as possibleB. get into the right season and become popularC. find one's real selfD. rebel against parents and the popularity waves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。

Today these cartoons are still enjoyed by millions of readers worldwide.Wherever Ripley went,he searched for the odd and the un鄄usual.In his search,he documented the customs and beliefs of many ancient and exotic modern civilizations.Whenever possible he brought home artifacts（手工艺品）from his journeys,which today probably is the greatest collection of oddities(奇特的东西) ever collected.Today these artifacts can be seen in Ripley’s Be鄄lieve It or Not museums around the world.Every year millions of people visit these museums to take part in an adventure,one in which they experience the incredible(难以置信的)world of Robert Ripley!Robert Leroy Ripley was born in Santa Rosa,Calif.As a tal鄄ented,self-taught artist,Ripley sold his first drawing to Life mag鄄azine when he was only18.Ripley was also a natural athlete,and his first love was baseball.He played semi-pro（半职业性的）ball for several years,but his dream of throwing in the Big Leagues was shattered(破灭)when he broke his arm during a New York Giants spring training game.After the accident,Ripley was forced to take his art more seriously.His hobby would become his occupation and his life work.He worked first for a newspaper in San Francisco but left for New York City to search for his fu鄄ture in1912.28.When did Ripley gather many strange artifacts?A.When he was teaching himself art.B.When he was working as a reporter.C.When he was playing semi-pro ball.D.When he was traveling around the world.29.What is Believe It or Not considered to be besides a book with pictures?A.A magazine.B.A sports game.C.A museum.D.A baseball.30.What’s the reason for Ripley to take art as his occupa鄄tion and his life work?A.An accident.B.His gift in art.C.His love for art.D.His first drawing.31.What will the author talk about in the next paragraph?A.Working as a reporter in the United States.B.Popularity of Believe It or Not in the world.C.Response of Believe It or Not from his readers.D.Working as a sports cartoonist in New York City.DA satellite was carried on a rocket which was sent up from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in Gansu Province on Tues鄄day.The satellite is named after the ancient Chinese scientist Mozi.The project tests a technology that could one day offer digital communication that is hacker-proof(防黑客的).But even if it succeeds,it is a long way off that goal,and there is some mind-bending physics to settle first.The satellite will create pairs of so-called entangled photonsGUANＧＤONG JIAO YU GAO ZHONG(纠缠光子)—tiny sub-atomic particles of light whose proper鄄ties（属性）are dependent on each other—beaming one half of each pair down to base stations in China and Austria.This special kind of laser（激光）has several curious prop鄄erties,one of which is known as“the observer effect”—its quantum state（量子态）cannot be observed without changing it.So,if the satellite were to encode an encryption key（加密钥）in that quantum state,any interception(拦截)would be meaningless.It would change the key,making it useless.If it works,it will solve the central problem of encrypted communications—how to distribute keys without interception—promising hacker-proof communications.The encrypted message itself can be sent out normally after the key exchange.The signals weaken over distance though,which this project is hoping to minimize by sending the signals mostly through space, keeping weakening to a minimum despite the distances involved.But apart from the tricky physics,there is also the difficult matter of firing tiny sub-atomic particles at precise targets on the ground,across vast distances,while travelling extremely fast through space.So this is the first attempt in the world.32.What is the purpose of China’s sending up the satellite Mozi?A.To settle some mind-bending physics.B.To honor the ancient Chinese scientist Mozi.C.To create pairs of so-called entangled photons.D.To provide hacker-proof communication in the future.33What does the underlined word“beaming”probably mean?A.Breaking.B.Shooting.C.Sending.D.Splitting.34.How would the satellite make any interception useless?A.By weakening its signals.B.By changing the encryption key.C.By exchanging keys with the hacker.D.By firing sub-atomic particles at precise targets.35.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.No countries other than China have tried in the world.B.Firing particles at precise targets on the ground is difficult.C.This project hopes to minimize the weakness of the signals.D.The sub-atomic particles travel extremely fast through space.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。
