Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AAbout six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a yo ung boy sat down at the next table, I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?〞 And the boy — who could not have been more than seven or eight years old — replied. “Frankly, I’ve been feel ing a little depressed lately.〞This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed (确认) my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed〞, that is, in low spirits, until we were in high school.Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?Human development is depended not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social positions. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages; traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation (揭示) machine has been equipped in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation (诱惑) , many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more attractive moving pictures.Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.56．According to the author, feeling depressed is ________.A．a sure sign of a mental problem in a childB．a mental state present in all humans, including childrenC．something that cannot be avoided in children’s mental developmentD．something hardly to be expected in a young child 57．Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world _________.A．through connection with societyB．gradually and under guidanceC．naturally without being taughtD．through watching television58．According to the author, that today’s children seem adultlike results from ______.A．the widespread influence of televisionB．the poor arrangement of teaching contentC．the fast pace of human scientific developmentD．the rising standard of living59．What does the author think of communication through print for children?A．It enables children to gain more social information.B．It develops children’s interest in reading and writing.C．It helps children to read and write well.D．It can control what children are to learn.60．What does the author think of the change in today’s children?A．He feels their adultlike behavior is so funny.B．He thinks the change worthy of note.C．He considers it a rapid development.D．He seems to be upset about it.BPart AIn the United Kingdom was hit again by foot-and-mouth disease, the first time since the 1960s, causing a national crisis. However, much of the panic and confusion was spread largely as a result of ignorance of the disease.Foot-and-mouth is a highly contagious(传染性的) disease found in Africa, SouthAmerica, Asia, the Middle East and parts of Europe. It affects cloven-footed(偶啼) domestic animals such as cows, pigs, sheep and goats, as well as wild animals like rats and deer and zoo animals such as elephants. Horses, however, cannot contract 〔感染〕the disease.It is very rare for humans to catch the disease. Indeed, only one case has been recorded in Great Britain and that was in 1967.Part BFoot-and-mouth disease is insidious〔潜伏的〕 and can be spread by direct and indirect contact with infected animal. The disease can be spread on the wind, and can be spread by people, equipment or vehicles which have been in contact with the disease. Although the authorities do not really know where this latest outbreak of the disease originated, it can enter a country in frozen meat imported from other countries where the disease is common. Unlike Mad Cow Disease (BSE) and the human equivalent CJD, foot-and-mouth has no implication〔牵连〕 for the human food chain. Any meat, milk, cheese and other dairy products can be consumed quite safely.Part CIt seems that the only way to control the disease is to kill infected animals. There is no cure for the disease, and although adult animals normally recover in 2-3 weeks, they sadly remain carriers of the virus for up to two years.From the time the disease was first reported to the time the epidemic〔流行〕was officially declared over, one and a half million and more domestic animals were slaughtered and large areas of the countryside were closed to the public. These areas included parks, woods and forests, and various leisure attractions situated in the countryside.61. The main purpose of writing this passage is_______.A.to warn people of the danger of the diseaseB.to describe the disaster by the diseaseC.to share some of the facts about the diseaseD.to declare the success in control of the disease62. Foot-and-mouth disease is insidious because it is spread_______.A. by farmers and farm vehiclesB. in so many different waysC. by being carried in the airD. mainly by people who have been in contact with infected animals63. That foot-and-mouth disease is different from Mad Cow Disease mainly lies in that______.A. it affects the human food chainB. people cannot consume dairy productsC. it is found in frozen meatD. meat is still safe to eat64. The underlined word “they〞 in Part C means ________.A. diseaseB. infected animalsC. adult animalsD. 2-3 weeks65. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A. Horses cannot contract the foot-and-mouth disease.B. The record that humans caught the disease was first kept in 1967.C. Frozen meat imported from other countries can carry the disease.D. Animals infected can be cured in 2-3 weeks.CSome years ago industries had more freedom than they have now，and they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them；often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.Of course sometimes there were real disasters(灾难) which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes．Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore．At such times， there were inquiries into the causes of the disasters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries；however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U. S., for example, there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell．A third department looks at the places where people work，and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course，new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness，but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars which we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products．66.The main topic of the passage is_________.A. conditions in the work placeB. the freedom of industries in the pastC. changes in industrial productionD. the safety and health of workers andcustomers67. It can be inferred from the passage that in the past______.A. workers often got ill because of the poor working conditionsB. companies were free to put out any products they wanted toC. many people were killed by dangerous productsD. industries were as careful in management as they are today68. It is implied in the passage that_________.A. governments and companies had different opinions about the safety of productsB. governments paid little attention to the safety of productsC. government officials often did not listen to scientistsD. in the past no safety laws were introduced by governments69. Some years ago safety rules_________.A. were put forward due to scientists’ recommendationsB. came into being as a result of the workers’ demandsC. were introduced because quite a number of people were killed or seriously injuredD. were effective enough to protect workers and customers70.The special departments protect customers and workers in manyways EXCEPT by_________.A. testing new productsB. controlling the sale of productsC. designing new productsD. inspecting work placesPart 1V Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)[Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORD S for each answer.When I opened my e-mail the other day, a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen. She greeted me by name and started talking with great enthusiasm. Every now and then she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss. She was reading to me an e-mail from my brother, and a lot of it was about his getting the phone company to give him a high-speed Internet connection. It was pretty cool.Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail. Facemail lets you send e-mail that can read mails to the receiver by an attractive male or female form or by a clown. The software, which is free, can be downloaded at Facemail .Facemail faces are lifelike, and they copy emotions based on the ones that you put in your text. For example, type in X, and Rachel blows a kiss.]Life FX, the company that develops the Facemail is sure there are broad business uses. The reason e-business is not popular, the company says, is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch. But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name, waited on you and personally closed the sale? Besides, the company is talking with Whirlpool company about the technology in a computer screen on a fridge. Then if Mom can’t be at home when the kids get back from school, she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat.Facemail could get hot fast. Personally, I am a fan.

Answer the questions according to theinformation given in the passage.〔10 marks〕These days, Americans worry most about an economic recovery that President Obama calls "painfully slow". But on Saturday millions will remember the day al-Qaida terrorists flew airplanes into the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington. Another hijacked plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania when passengers rebelled. Close to three thousand people died that day. Next year will be a big anniversary, ten years since the day Americans call 9-11.But this September eleventh comes at an uneasy time. A large number of Americans say they oppose plans to build an Islamic center near the World Trade Center site in New York. This week attention centered on a Christian minister(基督教事工) with a small following in the state of Florida.Reverend Terry Jones said he would mark the 9-11 anniversary by burning copies of the Quran(可兰经). He said he wanted to send a message to Islamic extremists. He said, "We are not hateful toward Muslims. We are not aiming this at Muslims, we are aiming this at Sharia law(伊斯兰教教法)."Political and religious leaders around the world had condemned him. The plan even led the State Department to warn American travelers to avoid places where protests(抗议) might take place.President Obama said burning Qurans could endanger American troops and invite more extremism. Defense Secretary Robert Gates called Mr. Jones on Thursday to urge him to reconsider.Administration officials called the idea of burning Qurans "un-American." But they also agreed that it would be within constitutional rights, like protesters who burn American flags. The Constitution guarantees free speech and bars the government from restricting the practice of religion.81.According to this news article how many things made this September 11 uneasy? (Nomore than 1 word)82.What did the State Department think would happen after Reverend revealed his plan?(No more than 4 words)83.How did the government prevent the situation becoming worse? (No more than 9 words)84.Why couldn’t the US government forbid Reverend to burn Qurans? (No more than 7words)Section CDirections: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese.请以My View On Examinations为题，分析考试的利与弊，写一篇不少于120词的英语短文。

Although September's job 36 was stronger than most economists were expecting, it is still not growing fast enough for the millions of Americans 37 for work.In many U.S. cities, frustration over the scarcity〔供不应求〕 of jobs is spilling out into the streets in the 38 of protests, like the "Jobs Not Cuts" rally in Washington.Many, including rapper Godfrey James, say lawmakers are not doing enough to help 39 Americans.Experts say hiring is likely to remain weak for the remainder of the year as companies wait for the economy to 40In New York, where the "Occupy Wall Street" movement appears to be gaining momentum〔势头〕, activists say the richest one percent own most of the country's wealth."I feel like the middle class has been almost completely 41 now.

"That building, the Capitol building is only a place where they vote on stuff, it's not a place where things originate. Things 46 with people in the street. This is a democracy and it has to start here."While better than expected job numbers last month have helped calm fears of a new recession〔不景气〕, the nation's chronic high unemployment is expected to be a major issue in .

following passages．Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage．AWhen their parents were children, they imagined a future standing in front of a class of pupils or doing the rounds as a doctor．But today's British teenagers, a survey suggests, seem to have set their sights only on becoming the next Leona Lewis or Wayne Rooney．Researchers questioned 3,000 teenagers about their ambitions and also asked parents about their youthful career hopes．According to the survey, youngsters dream of a celebrity lifestyle, perhaps after finding fame through shows such as the X Factor, and of being actors or sports stars．Copying the likes of Rooney and David Beckham was the top career ambition of today's teenagers, cited by 12 percent．Almost as many, 11 percent, wanted to be pop stars, and the same proportion dreamed of being actors．The success of celebrity chefs such as Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay is likely to explain why becoming a chef is now the dream of 5 percent, a career ambition which did not figure in the list of 25 years ago．A quarter of a century back teaching was the top career choice, cited by 15 percent．These days the job is chosen by only 4 percent．Of the traditional professions, only law has risen in popularity．The survey also suggests that more girls dream of becoming doctors and boys want careers as astronauts or firefighters．Child psychologist Laverne Antrobus said the findings reflect today's celebrity culture and warned children against unrealistic dreams．"Children see footballers, pop stars and actors on TV and their lives look exciting, glamorous and fun," she said．"It is hard for them to realize that they are the end product of a lot of ingredients including talent, determination and years of hard work．Wayne Rooney is not on the pitch by chance．"As Antrobus pointed out, there is absolutely nothing wrong with children having big dreams, but "these have to be based on reality," she said．56pop stars and actors．A．have the talent of B．work as hard asC．enjoy the celebrity lifestyles of D．become successful by chance like 57．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．12 percent of British teenagers surveyed wanted to become chefs．B．22 percent of British teenagers surveyed wanted to be pop stars or actors．C．None of the traditional professions are favored by today's British teenagers, the survey suggests．D．Teaching, though less popular, seems to remain one of the top career choices on the list．58．According to child psychologist Laverne Antrobus, the change in career ambitions suggested by the study .A．represents progress B．mirrors today’s celebrity cultureC．shows how materialistic youngsters are D．suggests British teenagers watch too much TV59．What does the underlined sentence "Wayne Rooney is not on the pitch by chance．"mean?A．Wayne Rooney does not get to play much today．B．Wayne Rooney didn't get into sport by chance．C．Wayne Rooney doesn't believe in luck when he is playing．D．Wayne Rooney didn't become successful by luck．60．The expert quoted in the article believes ______．A．there's no point in teenagers having dreamsB．it is wrong to desire to live the life of a celebrityC．young Britons have the same ambitions as their parentsD．children should set practical goals when they think of their careerBThe past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists 〔人类学家〕．Descriptions like "Palaeolithic〔旧石器时代的〕Man" ．"Neolithic〔新石器时代的〕Man" ,etc．，neatly sum up whole periods．When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century, they will surelychoose the label" Legless Man"．Histories of the time will go something like this: "in the twentieth century, people forgot how to use their legs．Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age．There were lifts in all large buildings to prevent people from walking．And the surprising thing is that they didn't use their legs even when they went on holiday．"The future history books might also record that we were deprived of the use of our eyes．In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way．Air travel gives you a bird's-eye view of the world．When you travel by car or train, an unclear picture of the countryside constantly smears the windows．Car drivers, especially, are mixed with the urge to go on and on: they never want to stop．The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says" I've been there．"You mention the remotest, and someone is bound to say "I've been there"—meaning, "I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else．"When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place．But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless．You want to move on again．By traveling like this, you suspend all experience．The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present．For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes．He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body．At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical tiredness．He knows that sound, satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers．61．Anthropologists label man nowadays "Legless" because______．A．people forget how to use their legs B．people prefer cars, buses and trainsC．lifts prevent people from walking D．there are a lot of transportation devices62．Travelling at high speed means______．A．people’s focus on the futureB．a pleasureC．satisfying drivers’ great thrillD．a necessity of life63．Why does the author say “we are deprived of the use of our eyes〞?A．People won’t use their eyes.B．In traveling at high speed, eyes become useless.C．People can’t see anything on their way of travel.D．People want to sleep during traveling.64．What does “a bird’s-eye view〞 mean?A．See view with bird’s eyes.B．A bird looks at a beautiful view.C．It is a general view from a high position looking down.D．A scenic place.65．What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A．Legs become weaker.B．Modern means of transportation make the world a small place.C．There is no need to use eyes.D．The best way to travel is on foot.CIf you see someone touched on the cheek, and feel as if your own cheek has been touched, then you have mirror-touch synesthesia (共感觉), a condition that causes people to feel the touches that they see others receive.As the name implies, a mirror effect is involved. If a mirror-touch synesthete is standing opposite someone and the non-synesthete is hit in the right arm, the synesthete will feel the blow in his or h er left arm. If the two are standing next to each other, contact with the non-synesthete’s right arm will be felt in the synesthete’s right arm.People with mirror-touch synesthesia have very active mirror neurons(神经细胞) that can produce intense sensations of emotional empathy(同情). Such people can not only imagine the pain of others, but often feel as if it were their own.Besides feeling what others feel, mirror-touch synesthetes are often morally extremely sensitive; many claim to be unable to understand how people can laugh at the misfortunes of others, and to find action and horror movies unbearable to watch.In , Sarah Jane-Blak9emore, a neuroscientist(神经科学家) at University College London, net a 39-year-old woman who confirmed that she could feel contact that she only observed, such as a pinch(掐). She had thought all people were that way; it had never occurred to her that mirror-touch synesthesia was unusual. Researchers later discovered that 11 of the woman’s relatives had another type of synesthesia, known as color-grapheme synesthesia.Recent studies have shed more light on the phenomenon. Researchers have used brain scans, touch tests, and questionnaires to look for mirror-touch synesthesia in 10 subjects. Brain scans have shown that certain areas of the brain are extremely active when mirror-touch synesthetes see someone being touched, while in touch tests they often mistook an observed touch for the one applied to themselves.Learning why some people are highly sensitive to the emotions of others could teach us more about those who aren’t.66．If you’re a mirror-touch synesthete, which of the following best shows the function of the mirror effect in you?A．When you see someone with the broken leg, you try to help.B．When someone hits you on the head, you feel pain.C．When someone touches your left arm, your right arm feels it.D．When someone hits his left leg, your right leg feels it.67．According to the text, what causes mirror-touch synesthesia?A．Mirror neurons. B．A mirror effect. C．emotional empathy.D．Genes.68．All the following of another person can be sensed by a mirror-touch synesthete EXCEPT .A．being touched B．inner feelings C．knowledge D．pain69．Why is the 39-year-old woman mentioned in Paragraph 5?A．Because 11 of her relatives have synesthesia as well.B．Because she can feel pinch she only observes.C．Because Sarah Jane-Blakemore knew her well.D．Because she had never realized she had synesthesia.70．Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the text?A．We still know little about mirror-touch synesthesia.B．A mirror-touch synesthete is created by horror films.C．Brain scans show the crain is active when touched.D．We can learn about normal people by studying mirror-touch synesthesia. Part IV Writing 〔45 marks〕Section A〔10 marks〕Directions： Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the informationfrom the passage．Write NOMORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．Stage FrightStage fright is not commonly thought of as a phobia. Officially, it can be recognized as a subset of glossophobia, or fear of public speaking, which is itself a type of social phobia. Many people who perform on a public stage, from kids in school to professional actors, are potentially at risk for stage fright. Even Hollywood lore is filled with tales of performers who have battled with this phobia.People suffering from stage fright have probably dealt with endless questions from family and friends as to why they put themselves through the torment. Two reasons, according to some experts, can account for this phenomenon. First, most performers haven’t had much practice at it. Any unfamiliar activity creates some stress. Second, none of them likes to be evaluated and they dislike the thought of having others examine them too closely.Then, if one suffers from stage fright, what symptoms can be experienced? The phobia generally begins weeks or months before the performance; they may begin to feel jumpy. As the date of the performance draws closer, the symptoms worsen. A few hours before the time when the performers participate in the show, they may meet some problems such as diarrhea(腹泻), and heart palpitations. Both during and after a show, one may even suffer from dry mouth, which is a very annoying problem to have. What’s worse, their hands may shake so much that they can’t read their own notes.It is important to find healthy ways to cope with stage fright. Many performers turn to self-medication, in an effort to dull the pain. This is never a good choice for anyone, because it can turn into a dangerous cycle for those who perform regularly. Like any phobia, stage fright is highly treatable. Many people with stage fright think that their performance will not be “good enough〞, thereby disappointing their audience and ruining their own careers. Therapy can help you learn to replace these negative messages with more rational thoughts and with the help of some therapists you will also be taught relaxation exercises that you can do when the anxiety becomes overwhelming.Stage fright is remarkably common, and many performers never seek help. Treated properly, however, the condition can be successfully managed.Directions： Read the following passage．Answer the questions according to the informationgiven in the passage．Forty-three years seems like a long time to remember the name of a mere acquaintance．I have forgotten the name of an old lady, who was a customer on the paper route in my home town when I was a twelve-year-old boy．Yet it dwells in my memory that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness that I shall never forget．On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the slanted roof of the old lady's house from a spot near her backyard．The object of our play was to observe how the stones changed to missiles as they rolled to the roof’s edge and shot out into the yard like comets(彗星) falling from the sky．I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it out．The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped from my hand as I let it go and headed straight not for the roof but for a small window on the old lady's back porch．At the sound of fractured glass, we knew we were in trouble．We turned tail8〕and ran faster than any of our missiles flew off her roof．I was too scared about getting caught that first night to be concerned about the old lady with the broken window in winter．However, a few days later, when Iwas sure that I hadn't been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune．She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper,but I was no longer able to act comfortable in her presence．I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and in three weeksI had the seven dollars that I calculated would cover the cost of her window．I putthe money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking herwindow and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it．I waited until it was dark, snuck up to the old lady's house, and put the letterI didn't sign through the letter slot in her door．My soul felt redeemed and I couldhave the freedom of, once again, looking straight into the old lady's kind eyes．The next day, I handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warmsmile that I was receiving from her．She thanked me for the paper and gave me a bagof cookies she had made herself．I thanked her and proceeded to eat the cookies asI continued my route．After several cookies, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag．WhenI opened the envelope, I was stunned．Inside were the seven dollars and a short notethat said, "I'm proud of you．"81.

高三上学期第三次月考（英语）（考试总分：135 分）一、阅读理解（本题共计4小题，总分30分）1.（6分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AIt is a fact that most people live their lives unremarked by history. Whether by design or by accident, there are some pioneers whose achievements changed the course of history but whose names are unknown to us.James HarrisonJames Harrison has saved the lives of over two million people by donating his blood l,173 times, a Guinness world record. His blood produces a rare antibody which cures the otherwise deadly Rhesus disease in unborn children. It has also been used in the development of a medicine anti-D, which will cure the Rhesus disease in children forever.Lewis LatimerAfter helping Alexander Graham Bell obtain his patent for the telephone, Lewis Latimer patented a carbon filament (碳灯丝) , which allowed light bulbs to burn for hours before burning out, much more useful than that invented by Thomas Edison. Latimer went on to invent many other useful devices, including a device which cooled and cleaned patients’ rooms in hospitals.Maurice HillemanNot all achievements require bravery and self-sacrifice. Take Maurice Hilleman for example. He found another way to change the world. He developed the mumps vaccine after his daughter got the illness. And he didn’t stop there. In total, he has single-handedly developed over 40 vaccines, including eight commonly given to children. His work has saved millions of lives and prevented serious consequences due to the diseases.Nils BohlinIn 1959 Nils Bohlin patented a revolutionary design that has saved millions of lives — thethree-point safety belt. After the initial resistance from drivers who hated being told what to do, and even for their own good, the three-point belt has become a standard feature in new cars around the world.1. Whose invention made it possible for light bulbs to burn for long before burning out?A. Thomas Edison’s.B. Alexander Graham Bell’s.C. Lewis Latimer’s.D. Nils Bohlin’s.2. What's the similarity between James Harrison and Maurice Hilleman?A. They both broke a Guinness world record.B. They both had spirits of bravery and self-sacrifice.C. They devoted themselves to work because of family members.D. Their contributions saved the lives of many children.3. What was drivers’ initial attitude to the three-point seat belt?A. They were content with it.B. They refused to use it.C. They accepted it calmly.D. They got excited about it.2.（8分）BThey hide in trees, hang from helicopters, even follow people down on motorcycles—all so that they can snap a shot of a celebrity. They are paparazzi—photographers who make a living by taking pictures of the rich and famous.This September, California, a state with plenty of celebrities, passed a law aimed at taking action against paparazzi. The law forbids photographers from entering private property to take pictures, from using high-tech devices to take pictures of people on private property, and from “persistently following in order to take a picture.” Violators can be fined or spend time in prison. The United State Congress is considering passing a similar law.Supporters of the California law say it will protect the privacy of celebrities, whom paparazzi have been bothering for years. Opponents (反反反) say the law restricts photojournalists from doing their job.Most celebrities seem to like having their pictures taken when they are in public at awardshows or other events. After all, it’s free publicity. But when they’re not in public, they say, photographers should leave them alone. Yet paparazzi have been known to secretly look in windows and worse. Actor Michael J. Fox said that paparazzi have even “tried to pretend to be medical personnel at the hospital where my wife was giving birth to our son.”Celebrities have as much right to their privacy as anyone else, supporters of the law state. Supporters further argue that the California law is a fair way to keep the press at bay, because the law still allows photographers to do their job. It only punishes them, supporters say, when they violate celebrities’ privacy.Opponents of the law say it violates the First Amendment to the United States Constitution (反反反反反反反反反), which guarantees that no laws will be made to limit “the freedom of speech, or of the press.”Although some people might not consider paparazzi a part of the legal press, the California law does not single out paparazzi. It applies to photographers working for any publication.Opponents of the law are also concerned about its wording. “Does ‘persistently’ mean following someone for six minutes, six seconds, or six days?” asked lawyer Douglas Mirell. The wording of the law is too vague, critics complain, and could be used to punish almost any news photographer.The United States needs a free press to keep the public informed about important news, paparazzi law opponents say. Limiting the press in any way, they argue, limits the freedom of all.4. Which of the following will be considered illegal by the new California law?A. Paparazzi slipping into the house of a famous person to take a shot.B. Paparazzi taking photos of famous people with high-tech cameras.C. Paparazzi hiring helicopters as a fast means of transportation.D. Paparazzi rushing towards filming sites on motorcycles.5. Supporters of the new law believe that ________.A. it prevents the media from getting worseB. it gives photographers a fair way to competeC. punishment forces paparazzi to quit their jobD. privacy of famous people needs special protection6. Opponents of the new law are concerned that _________.A. it will violate paparazzi’s privacyB. the First Amendment will be changedC. some photographers will be wrongly accusedD. people will not be informed of the latest news7. What is the author’s attitude towards the new California law?A. Critical.B. Neutral.C. Approving.D. Skeptical.3.（8分）CA California man and his family went from rags to riches after discovering that the blanket given to him by his grandmother was worth a small fortune. Loren Krylzer was living in a small hut and hardly getting by on his disability payments. One day, he happened to be watching Antiques Roadshow on TV when he learned that the forgotten old blanket in his closet might be valuable. The blanket turned out to be an antique (古老的) Navajo weaving from the 19th century that fetched US$1.5 million at auction (拍卖会).Krytzer's blanket was prized for much more than its antiquity. Among Native American tribes, the Navajo are recognized as the most skillful weavers of blankets and rugs. The weaving style is characterized by vivid, varied patterns and exceptional durability. From shearing the sheep, spinning, preparing, and dyeing the wool to the actual weaving process, it takes around 345 hours to create one blanket.Women traditionally wove Navajo blankets while men built the weaving devices. To this day, Navajo people still make high quality blankets and rugs to sell. They believe that, since only God is perfect, their creations should have some imperfection. Another Navajo belief is that their souls are sewn into every weaving, so they purposely include a hidden loose thread into each piece. This ensures that it isn't too perfect, and their souls can still escape into the afterlife.The Krylzers also had a loose thread on their road to riches that allowed them to escape the trap of financial ruin. In an unfortunate twist, the family’s life-changing windfall came with a huge tax bill from the government and a lot of imploring relatives. After taking a family vacation in Mexico, buying a new sports car and a couple of real estate purchases,Krytzer lost his disability payments and now gets big bills for property taxes and insurance instead. Ironically, the family decided to move to a less expensive state to save money.8. How did the Krytzer family go from rags to riches?A. A family member purchased a winning lottery ticket.B. Loren was invited to have an interview on a TV show.C. Loren’s disability payments were unexpectedly increased.D. Loren auctioned off a blanket his grandmother gave him.9. A loose thread woven in a Navajo blanket indicates that_____.A. God’s creation is also imperfectB. people can escape some horrible situationsC. its owner is sure to have an everlasting lifeD. the blanket is really made by hand10. What does the underlined word “windfall” in the last paragraph probably mean？A. Unexpected fortuneB. Lost moneyC. Economic boomD. Valueless blanket11. According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Navajo blankets have nice patterns but don’t last long.B. Loren Krytzer made millions of dollars from disability.C. Weaving a blanket involves many processes and skills.D. Loren’s life went from bad to worse because of the blanket.4.（8分）DIt sounds almost too good to be true, but a new study on sleeping brains suggests that listening to languages while you sleep can actually help you to learn them．For the study, researchers played recordings of foreign words and their translations to subjects enjoying slow-wave sleep, a stage when a person has little consciousness of their environment. To ensure that the results were not compromised by foreign language words that subjects may have had some contact with at some point in their waking lives, researchers made up totally nonexistent foreign words．When the subjects woke up, they were presented with the made-up words again withouttheir translations. The subjects were then asked to imagine whether this made-up word indicated an object that was either smaller or larger. This vague(模糊的)way of testing their understanding of the words is an approach that is supposed to tap into the unconscious memory．Unbelievably, the subjects were able to correctly classify the words in this way at an accuracy rate that was 10 percent higher than random chance. That’s not a rate high enough to have them suddenly communicating in a foreign tongue, but it is enough to suggest that the brain is still absorbing information on some level, even during sleep.Researchers have long known that sleep is important for memory, but previously its role in memory was thought to relate only to the preservation and organization of memories acquired during wakefulness. This is the first time that memory formation has been shown to be active during sleep．In other words, our brains are listening to the world, and learning about it, even when our conscious selves are not present.The next step for researchers will be to see if new information can be learned quicker during wakefulness if it was already presented during sleep. If so, it could forever change how we train our brains to learn new things. Sleep learning might become a widespread practice．12. Why did researchers use some made-up words in the study?A. To guarantee the accuracy of the test result.B. To increase the difficulty of testing information.C. To avoid the subjects cheating in the experiment.D. To test if our brain are good at learning something new.13. What were the subjects asked to do in the study?A. Classify what they heard by size．B. Make up a word to represent“large”or“small”．C. Repeat the words they heard in the sleep．D. Imagine the meanings of the made-up words．14. What conclusion did researchers draw from this study?A. Sleep is necessary for a good memory．B. Memory formation goes on during sleep．C. Listening during sleep is good for our brain．D. Learning languages in sleep has better effects．15. What will be the researchers’ next plan?A. To train people how to learn during sleep．B. To prove the existence of unconscious memory．C. To dig out the reason for unconscious learning．D. To study the effect of sleep learning on conscious learning．二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）5.（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。
