If you summit your assignment late, you _____.A. can have a second chanceB. should ask a tutor for helpC. may apply for an extensionD. will get a fail for the workBMy favorite English teacher could draw humor out of the driest material. It wasn’t forced on us either. He took Samuel Johnson’s dictionary, Addison’s essays, and many other literary wonders from the eighteenth centur y and made them hilarious, even at eight o’clock in the morning. The thing that amazed me most was that the first time I read these works on my own some of them seemed dead, but the second time, after his explanation, I couldn’t believe that I hadn’t seen the humor. The stories and poems and plays were suddenly filled with allusions(典故) and irony and hilarious moments. I learned more from him than from any other teacher.My least favorite English teacher also made people laugh. Some students found him to be wonderfully funny. Many others did not. He assigned journals over a six week period, to be written in every day. At the end of the six weeks I had a notebook full of bits and pieces about my ideas, short stories, reactions to what we had read, and so on. Our teacher announced that we would be grading each other’s journals. Mine was passed to Joe, that class clown, who always behaved in a funny or silly way. He saw it fit to make joke of and said, “This writing isn’t fit to line the bottom of a birdcage.” O ur teacher laughed at that funny remark. It hurt me so much that the anger from it has driven my writing and teaching ever since.So what makes the difference? Humor is one of the most powerful tools teachers or writers have. It can build up students and classes and make them excited about literature and writing, or it can tear them apart. It is true that humor is either productive or counter-productive and self-defeating.24. The passage mainly discusses _____.A. teachingB. literatureC. humorD. knowledge25. The underlined word “hilarious” in Paragraph 1 probably means _____.A. funnyB. tiringC. inspiringD. brilliant26. With his favorite English teacher, the writer found it most amazing that _____.A. his teacher was very learnedB. his teacher was very humorousC. the works by Johnson and Addison were very humorousD. few were able to find humor in works by Johnson and others27. The English teacher the writer disliked most _____.A. was not able to make students laughB. hurt his students’ feelingsC. didn’t let his students do the gradingD. had no sense of humorCDoes money buy happiness? Not! Ah, but would a little more money make us a little happier? Many of us smirk(傻笑，假笑) and nod. There is, we believe, some connection between financial fitness and emotional fulfillment. Three in four American college students—nearly double the 1970 proportion—now consider it “very important” or “essential” that they become “very well off financially”. Money matters.But a surprising fact of life is that in countries where nearly everyone can afford life’s necessities, increasing wealth matters surprisingly little. The connection between income and happiness is “surprisingly weak,” observed University of Michigan researcherRonald Inglehart in one 16-nation study of 170,000 people. Once comfortable, more money provides diminishing returns(报酬递减). The second piece of pie, or the second $100,000, never tastes as good as the first. Even lottery winners and the Forbes’ 100 wealthi est Americans surveyed by University of Illinois psychologist Ed Diener have expressed only slightly greater happiness than the average American. Making it big brings temporary joy. But in the long run wealth is like health: its complete absence can create suffering, but having it doesn’t guarantee happiness. Happiness seems less a matter of getting what we want than of wanting what we have.Has our happiness, however, floated upward with the rising economic tide? Are we happier today than in 1940s, when two out of five homes lacked a shower or tub? Actually, we are not. Since 1957, the number of Americans who say they are “very happy” has declined from 35 to 32 percent. Meanwhile, the divorce rate has doubled, the teen suicide(自杀) rate has increased nearly three times, the violent crime rate has gone up nearly four times, and depression has mushroomed. Economic growth has provided no boost to human morale. When it comes to psychological well being, it is not the economy.I call this soaring wealth and shrink ing spirit “the American paradox.” More than ever, we have big houses and broken homes, high incomes and low confidence, secured rights and reduced civility. We are good at making a living but often fail at making a life. We celebrate our prosperity(繁荣) but long for a purpose. We treasure our freedoms but long for connection. In an age of plenty, we feel spiritual hunger.28. Which of the following statements best expresses the author’s view?A. The more money we earn, the less returns we have.B. The more money we earn, the happier we would be.C. In the long run, money cannot guarantee happiness.D. In the long run, happiness grows with economy.29. “The second $100,000 never tastes as good as the first” because _____.A. it is not so fresh as the first $100,000B. it is not so important as the first $100,000C. profit brought by it is less than that from the first $100,000D. happiness brought by it is less than that from the first $100,00030. According to the passage, people do well in making a living but don’t _____.A. have any primary aimB. know how to spend moneyC. know how to enjoy lifeD. keep in touch with other people31. The things that happened after 1957 are given to show that _____.A. people’s spiritual needs cannot be fulfilled by we althB. family problems become more and more seriousC. young people are not happy about their lifeD. social crimes have increased significantlyDScience FictionThe science fiction type of entertainment is considered by most to be fathered by Jules Verne (A Journey to the Center of the Earth and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea) and H. G. Wells (The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds). Sci-Fi, as it is commonly shortened, is a fictional story in which science and technology have a significant influence on the characters and plot. Many such works are guesswork about what the future holds and how scientific findings and technological advances will shape humankind.Writing in the late 1800s, Jules Verne was remarkably successful in his 10 guesses aboutfuture technologies of air conditioning, automobiles, the Internet, television, and underwater, air, and space travel. Unbelievably, of all places from which to choose, Jules Verne guessed Tampa, Florida, USA as the launching site of the first project to the Moon, which was only 200 kilometers away from the actual 1969 location at Cape Canaveral, Florida.One of the best-known science fiction books is Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. Published in 1949, it was not meant as a prediction, but as a warning: Orwell was describing what he saw as the outcome of the ideas, trends, and emerging technologies of his time. Many invented terms from this novel have become common in everyday use, such as “big brother” and “doublethink”. Even the author’s name has been made into an adjective—Orwellian—and has become a warning descriptor for situations where privacy is lost and the individual becomes sacrifice under a totalitarian(极权主义) government. Nineteen Eighty-Four was translated into sixty-five languages within five years of its publication, setting a record that still stands.What helps bring science fiction into being is usually a new discovery or innovation. The author creates an analysis of the potential influence and consequences and then wraps it in a pleasant story. For example, the beginning of space exploration was followed a few years later by the Star Trek television program and movie series. Advances in genetics(遗传学) cause fantasies of the end of disease, horrors of eugenics(优生学), and thrillers where creatures disappearing long ago are brought back to life. The science fiction author’s self-determined role is that of field glasses for humanity—searching the world of future possibilities upon the road which we are traveling.32. What can science fiction offer to people?A. A forecast of how a new discovery could influence mankind.B. A thoughtful look at the present drawbacks of technology.C. An analysis of why a new technology could be used to harm human.D. A thoughtful look at the past and what brought us to this point in history.33. Which of the following best summarizes the description of Nineteen Eighty-Four?A. A prediction of future technologies.B. A warning of cruel and unfair ruling.C. The consequence of scientific findings.D. An imaginary perfect world of freedom.34. From the passage we can learn that _____.A. Nineteen Eighty-Four adopted some popular termsB. H.G. Wells predicted the Internet in the late 1800sC. Cape Canaveral was mentioned in Jules Verne’s fictionD. Star Trek movie series were based on space exploration35. According to the author, what is the role of science fiction in society?A. A moral compass.B. A reference of technology.C. A record of science development.D. A consideration of possibilities.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The nicotine(尼古丁) remaining in smoked filters (滤嘴) may serve as a natural insecticide( 杀虫剂) , driving harmful insects away from the nests and the baby birds living within. Tobacco plants produce nicotine because it defends against insects that would otherwise eat the plants.The butts are undoubtedly smelly. But birds are actually quite fond of smelly chemicals, such as those found in aromatic(芳香的) plants. Some nest-building species regularly fill their nests with fresh aromatics, possibly because the chemicals are good for the immune system or the development of the chicks. Alternatively, the plant chemicals might act as insecticides.In the study, researchers at the Autonomous University of Tlaxcala in Mexico set up heat traps, which attract harmful insects, in 55 nests around Mexico City. Some traps were lined with the stuff in smoked cigarette filters. The others were lined with the stuff from unsmoked cigarette filters, which did not contain nicotine and other smoking by-products. Whether the nest held eggs, chicks or nothing, the unsmoked cigarette traps collected more harmful insects, suggesting that it is the chemicals that drove harmful insects away.In a second experiment, the researchers collected 28 house sparrow nests and 29 house finch( 朱雀 ) nests from Mexico Cit y immediately after the chicks flew out for food. They found that the more smoked filter stuff filled a nest, the fewer harmful insects it had.The missing piece of the puzzle is whether the reduced number of harmful insects in the nests actually provided any benefit to the chicks. It is also unclear if nicotine or another chemical found in cigarettes may have turned the harmful insects out of the nests.If the results hold, then this study is an example of wildlife adaptation to Urhanization--or at least evidence that birds are smart and can still follow their noses in urban environments.5. What may be the function of nicotine in cigarette butts for birds?A. To drive harmful insects away from bird nests.B. To provide building materials for bird nests.C. To protect the plants from being eaten by insects.D. To attract baby birds to stay in the nests.6. What is the first experiment aimed at?A. Proving that heat traps attract harmful insects in Mexico City.B. Comparing smoked cigarette filters with unsmoked ones.C. Analyzing what is produced from smoked cigarette filters.D. Studying what it is that drives harmful insects away.7. What can you infer from the passage?A. Birds tend to use insecticide to protect the baby birds.B. Nicotine is the only chemical that drives harmful insects away.C. Some insects are afraid of smelly chemicals in aromatic plants.D. Unsmoked cigarette traps attract more harmful insects.8. Where could you possibly see the passage?A. In a science report.B. In an urbanization essay.C. In a tobacco advertisement.D. In an anti-smoki ng brochure.CN early two million drivers in the UK have had accidents due to “Baby on Board” signs and children’s toys that affect their view, according to alarming new research. One in 20 motorists says stickers and playtime paraphernalia(装备) are to blame for a collision—equivalent to 1.85 million of Britain’s 37 million drivers. The discovery triggered a warning by a road safety charity—Brake to cut down on clutter in the car.Deputy Chief executive Julie Townsend said “Baby on Board” signs are very useful in alerting the emergency services that a child may be involved in case of crash. “This help can become negative if drivers display signs when their child isn’t in the car,” she said. “Worse still is the danger that can be caused by drivers influencing their view by c luttering up windows with lots of signs. Drivers’ priority should always be getting there safely without putting themselves, young passengers or other road users at risk.A survey arranged by price comparison website Confused. com found that 37 percent of parents have displayed signs and four out of five of them believe they improve safety. But 46 percent admit doing so at all times—regardless of whether or not their child is in the car—and 15 percent admit they only have them for their novelty(新奇) value. The poll of 2,000 drivers also found that 46 percent of drivers regard them as a risk and 33 percent say they are lacking in taste.“There are benefits and dangers to ‘Baby on Board’ signs. They can offer useful information for medical aid in case of a crash but having too many novelty items displayed could be a safety issue.” said a Confused. com spokesman.9. What do we learn about the signs on the car from Paragraph1?A. They can be dangerousB. They are useful to avoid accidentsC. They are welcomed by passengersD. They are forbidden to be used10. What is Julie Townsend’s attitude towards the signs?A. PositiveB. NegativeC. indifferentD. Objective11. According to the survey, most of the drivers who use the signs think that the signs______.A. can improve safetyB. are unnecessaryC. can make drivers clearD. can kill timeDCan't wait for the opening of the Shanghai Disney Resort in 2015? Meet Mickey and Minnie Mouse and all their friends at the city's largest Disney exhibition at the Shanghai Super Brand Mall.The exhibition invites visitors to have a taste of the Disneyland under construction, according to the organizer. Many of the exhibits have been transported from the Walt Disney Family Museum in Los Angeles, like the manuscripts(手稿) of early animation producers.The center of the mall's third floor has been transformed into a magic house with a giant Mickey above, greeting visitors. Classic cartoon figures, created by the company and itssub-companies over the past 90 years, are presented, including Winnie the Pooh.Visitors can enjoy one of Disney's earliest film, Steamboat Willie. The film, which was screened in New York city in 1928, was considered the first fully synchronized (同步的)sound cartoon. It was also the first time that Mickey and Minnie first appeared.Visual and audio technologies have been applied to make the exhibition interactive. Inthe Snow White section, a magic mirror on the wall astonishes visitors. Like the evil queenin the fairytale, visitors can stand before the mirror and ask: "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?" One can see images of Snow White appear in the mirror. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, produced by the company, was considered the world's firstfull-length animated feature film.In the Lion King section, stand at a designated position and enjoy the songs from thefilm in surround sound. The Lion King, Disney's 32nd full-length animated film, was one ofthe most successful Disney films and was turned into a Broadway opera.Still the most charming star of the exhibition is Mickey Mouse, while the brightest ofall is a Mickey Mouse model inlaid with more than 20,000 Swarovski crystals.Four young artists, Yan Wei and Guan Chun from the Chinese mainland, and Dorophy Tangand Kenny Wang from Hong Kong, created different series of Mickey Mouse models with their personal styles.Besides Disneyland, in 2015, the Walt Disney Company China will open the world's largest Disney Store, which will cover about 5,000 square meters in Lujiazui, Shanghai's financial hub.12．Which of the following is NOT true?A.

Therefore, there are also some problems in this teaching method. As we haven’t mastered enough English words, sometimes we may find it difficulty to follow the teacher. Gradual learners may even lost interest in English. As we all know it, a good learning environment is important whether we want to study English well. Classes taught in English provide students with so an environment. When English is only language used in the classroom, students will have more opportunity to practice listening and speaking. As a result, we will be able to learn more quickly.第一部分阅读理解第一篇：CCBB第二篇【小题】A【小题】D【小题】C【小题】A【解析】【小题】考查细节理解。

河北省武邑中学2015届高考英语一轮复习第26期55分钟课堂练习How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter，rude boss，or an insensitive employee 11 your day?One day I was in a taxi and we headed 12__ the airport. We were driving in the 13 lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes，slide sideways，and at the very last moment our car stopped and narrowly 14 the other car by just inches！The driver of the other car looked around and started 15 at us.My taxi driver just 16 and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really 17 . So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital！”This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”．He 18 that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of 19，full of frustration，full of anger，and full of disappointment. As their garbage 20 up，they need a place to dump (倒) it and sometimes they’ll dump it on 21 . Don’t take it personally. Just smile，wave，wish them well，and move on.Believe me. You’ll be more 22 . Don’t take their garbage and 23 it to other people at work，at home，or on the streets, Life’s too short t o wake up in the morning with 24 .

Actor William Shatner, who is no stranger to futuristic tech, recently purchased two e-bikes for him and his wife.“I’ve been shopping for an e-bike now for a few weeks, and I’ve had my eye on the folding electric bike. I had folding bikes in the past and love the convenience of being able to throw my bike into my car.”The e-bike market is ready to go mainstream in the U.S. The price for e-bikes has come down greatly in recent months. At one time, most e-bikes with good components and proper weight were in the ＄3，000 range. Now you can find reasonable quality e-bikes in the ＄1,000 range. With gas prices at all-time highs, e-bikes are an attractive, low-cost option to gas efficient vehicles.E-bike owners are finding that they are great for commuting to work, as traditional bikes can be a problem with office dress and sweat．People who use e-bikes range from commuters to casual cyclers who like a little help with hills and wind, to those who decided to save money on buying a motor bike．These are not for the serious road cycler or professional mountain biker．If you’re considering all e-bike, it pays to do some research first. Cheaper e-bikes are going to be heavier and have less battery power．Higher priced bikes will be made from lighter materials and have better batteries．Another consideration is local motor vehicle laws. For example，according to US federal law，as long as your electric bike is under 750 watts and does not go over 20 MPH then it is a bicycle and not a motor vehicle. Most consumer e-bikes in the ＄1,000 range don’t fit the motorized vehicle description．31. The writer introduces William Shatner as an example in order to_______________．A．show that he is wild about the future technologyB．tell us that he is an agent for the e-bike marketC．tell us that actors care only convenience rather than the priceD．show that e-bikes are really becoming popular now32. According to the text，e-bikes are practical for_______________．A．serious road cyclers B．couples spending a holidayC．people commuting to work D．professional mountain bikers33. Which of the following about e-bikes is true?A．The cheaper e-bikes are usually made of lighter materials．B．Most e-bikes in the ＄l，000 range are a bicycle, not a motor vehicle．C．Local motor vehicle law doesn’t have any limit to e-bikes．D．E-bikes in the ＄l，000 range are too cheap to have better batteries．34. What is the best title for this passage?A．E-bike Sales to Shift into Mainstream in 20l3 B．E-bikes，the Future Way of Transportation C．E-bikes Vs Gas Vehicles D．E-bikes，Actors’ First ChoiceBMy grandfather had a small farm where he raised beef and some grain for feed. He also worked diligently as a factory laborer. He was a good neighbor and well-respected for honoring his word. When harvest time came, he’d piece together his old corn picker and oil it up for the season. All his life he worked hard, helped others, and you could count on him to keep his promises.He had promised to harvest corn on a friend’s farm, but after harvesting his own corn, Grandpa’s little corn picker coughed and quit. It would be out of commission until a particular part could be ordered, but that would take far too long to help this year. The factory where Grandpa worked began to require overtime. In order to keep his job there he had to leave the farm before dawn and get home until well after sunset.One autumn night, while harvest time was running out, he and his wife sat at the kitchen table and trying to figure a way out of their dilemma (进退两难的境地).“There’s nothing you can do,” said my grandma. “You’ll just have to tell him that you can’t help with the corn this year.”“Well that just doesn’t sit well with me,” said my grandpa. “My friend is depending on me. I can’t exactly let my neighbor’s harvest rot in the field, can I?”“When do you think you’d have time to do it?” she asked. “With the overtime you’ve been working you’d be up all night.”“I know of one night that I could do it!” he said, running to the bookshelf. He grabbed the Farmer’s Almanac(历书) and started flipping through the pages. “Aha! There’s still one more full moon in October.” They say it’s called the harvest moon because it gives farmers more light and more time to collect their crops.And so days later, after a long shift at the factory, my grandpa made his way to the field where my grandma met him in the truck with dinner. It was cold but clear, and the moon was brilliant. He worked through the night to keep his word.I know this story well, so sometimes, when I attempted to cut corners or to put off responsibilities, I think of my grandfather with his scythe (大镰刀) cutting wide arcs of corn in the light of the harvest moon.35. Which was the main trouble my grandfather had in helping his friend?A. His wife objected to his helping his friend.B. His corn picker ran out of oil.C. His corn picker broke down.D. The weather was not favorable.36. Which of the following can NOT be concluded from the passage?A. My grandfather cared about his work in the factory very much.B. My grandmother supported my grandfather’s decision to harvest the friend’s corn at the full moon night.C. My grandfather must have stayed up all night to help his friend harvest.D. My grandfather didn’t manage to help his friend in time.37. What kind of quality in the grandfather had the most influence on the writer?A. A person should be responsible.B. A person should be generous.C. A person should be selfless.D. A person should be diligent.38. The passage mainly intends to tell us that .A. helping others is helping ourselvesB. we should be generous with our timeC. keep your promise whatever happensD. we should be well-prepared for what hasn’t happenedCSunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of business that used to keep daytime “business hours” are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant. A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear.The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more “flexible,” is often debated. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the “law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, days and years but unless we meet the truant officer (学监) , we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents’ demand rather than to the law. As adults we are familiar with “extra pay for overtime working,” but less familiar with the fact that what makes up “overtime” is a matter of legal definition. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: “Here is the law in action?” As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how to organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight-saving law as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and rate.39. By saying “Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be,” the writer means that __________.A. work time is equal to rest timeB. many people have a day off on Monday,C. it is hard for people to decide when to restD. the line between work time and rest time is unclear40. The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people__________.A. fail to make full use of their timeB. enjoy working overtime for extra payC. are unaware of the law of timeD. welcome flexible working hours41. According to the passage, most children tend to believe that they go to school because they_____.A. need to acquire knowledgeB. have to obey their parentsC. need to find companionsD. have to observe the law42 What is the main idea of the passage?A. Our life is governed by the law of time.B. How to organize time is not worth debating.C. New ways of using time change our society.D. Our time schedule is decided by social customsDWhy are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation in your body.Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract (消化道), where it becomes increasingly acidic. To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs.Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat; as a res ult, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells. The body’s metabolism (新陈代谢) becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity.The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common.To stop this terrible circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize (中和) the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to restore your enzyme balance. Youneed to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach.43. What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To advocate eating more raw and whole foods.B. To tell the differences between raw and processed foods.C. To inform people of the harm of processed foods.D. To warn people of the problem of obesity.44. It can be inferred from Para. 2 that __________.A. it is essential for people to protect their vital organsB. foods with natural enzymes help people keep fitC. we’d better be cautious about raw and whole foodsD. giving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestyle45. What does “it” refer to in Paragraph 2?A. The body.B. The acidC. The acid wasteD. fat46. What is likely to be talked about following the last paragraph?A. Active approaches to avoid acid.B. Different causes of acid accumulation.C. Correct ways to cook raw foods.D. Suitable types of raw and whole foods.七选五Going on holiday should be an exciting moment. 47 _______ Here are some suggestions as to how you can stop that from being the case and make the whole experience a little more enjoyable.Choose Wisely The first way to make sure you have a comfortable flight is of course to choose your ticket carefully48_______ Many flights let you book your seat ahead of time so you’d better check in early or look online early and make sure you get it with the most space for your legs.Relax 49 _______ People just can’t associate being on a plane with being comfortable and they tend to think that the experience is going to be unpleasant. Remember that tossing and turning won’t make you any more comfortable and instead just focus on the fact that you are sitting down without a care in the world during at least the period of the flight.50 _______Medication If you do get travel sick then this is of course not conductive (有益的) to your comfort. 51 _______ The other kind of medication that might help you relax and sleep quickly could be anti-anxiety if you are nervous about flight or sleeping tablets.A.Take some travel medication before the flight if this is the case.B.Think long and hard about the airline you are going to fly with and the seat you aregoing to book.C.It is actually unnecessary to worry about how to make a long flight comfortable.D.In fact, the biggest problem with people on planes is the psychological factor.E.Avoid booking a seat beside a window in case you are dizzy.F.But many of us feel an amount of anxiety because the trip might be long while you stillhave to get there.G.It is a rare opportunity now to just relax and read a book.第二节Woman: Good morning.Man:Good morning.

The researchers also found that TV viewing didn’t have much of an effect —positively or negatively —as long as it wasn’t displacing conversations between an adult and a child.The UCLA study included 275 families with children between 2 months and 48 months old. They represented a variety of incomes and education. The researchers found that, in an average day, children hear about 13,000 spoken words from adults and participated in about 400 adult child conversations a day.Assessed separately, factors positively associated with language development included each additional 100 conversations a day and each 1,000 word increase in the number of words spoken by adults and heard by children. When looked at alone, TV was negatively associated with language development. But, when the three factors were analyzed together, the only one that stood out was conversation between adults and children.“The more a child speaks and interacts with an adult, the better idea a parent has about where the child is，”Zimmerman said. “Although it’s mostly done unconsciously, parents will provide feedback and correct mistakes. They’ll also tailor their speech to the child. Parents can give a child words by talking to them about what they’re doing, such as，‘I’m putting on your pajamas now’. But give your child the opportunity to talk, hopefully without the rest of the noise in the environment，”she added. “If parents can carve out some conversation time —maybe at bath time or at dinner time —that’s a wonderful thing.”46．The researchers also found that TV viewing ________.A. could have a positive effect on a child’s language developmentB. had a little effect on a child’s language developmentC. affected a child’s language development more negatively than positivelyD. affected a child’s language development both negatively and positively47．Frederick Zimmerman would probably agree that ________.A. parents should let their children talk most of the timeB. children should watch TV programs selectivelyC. the conversation between parents and children should be two wayD. it’s no good for parents to correct their children’s mistakes when they are speaking 48．We can conclude from the last paragraph that ________.A. parents should let a child repeat what he or she saysB. bath time or dinner time is the best chance for parents to talk to a childC. parent-child conversation can be carried out at any proper timeD. parents should leave a child talking alone49．What would be the best title for the passage?A. Talk with kids, not at themB. Let your children voice their own opinionsC. How to develop a child’s language abilityD. The importance of early child language development50．The underlined word “tailor”in the last paragraph can be best replaced by ________.A. controlB. improveC. passD. adjustCA house in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii has collapsed, raising concerns about whether Italy is spending enough to preserve its archaeological heritage.The House of the Gladiators（角斗士）was found in ruins when the person who was in charge came to open the site to visitors early on Saturday. Partially rebuilt after it suffered damage during World War II, it had not been thought at risk of collapse. Culture Minister Sandro Bondi said some of the pictures painted on the house's lower walls might have survived. He said that the collapse showed the need for “adequate resources”to keep Italy’s “extremely great historic artistic heritage”in good condition. Italian President Giorgio Napolitano said it was “a shame for Italy”. Antonio V arone, director of excavations（挖掘）at the site, said officials were “trying to preserve the last small parts and pieces”of the building.The house, which is not normally open to the public but can be viewed from the outside, was cordoned off after the collapse, and visitors can’t get close to it. There was speculation（推测）that recent heavy rains might have made the building which is thousands of years old fall, but no one was true.Pompeii was destroyed in AD79 when a volcanic eruption from nearby Mount Vesuvius buried the city in ash. It was not uncovered until the 18th Century. The house, known as the Schola Armaturarum, was used by gladiators for training before fights in the nearby amphitheatre, a circular building without a roof and with rows of seats that rose in steps around an open space.Tsao Cevoli, president of Italy’s National Association of Archaeologists, called the collapse “an irreparable wound which is too serious to repair to the world’s most important archaeological site”. Extra funds were made available two years ago, and special measures were put in place, to improve conservation at Pompeii, but critics said the plan was badly managed.51. The underlined part “cordoned off”in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.A. dug up by sb. or sth.B. surrounded by sb. or sth.C. rebuilt by sb. C. put off by sth.52. Which of the following is TRUE about the collapsed house in Pompeii?A. The house was rebuilt during World War Two.B. The house has no pictures on its walls.C. The house was used for training before it collapsed.D. The house was buried in V olcanic ash for many years.53. The reason why the house collapsed may be that _______.A. it suffered great damage in a warB. it had rained heavily in the days before it collapsedC. extra funds were not available for the protection of the houseD. no special measures were put forward to protect the house54. Where can we most probably find the passage?A. In a newspaperB. In a book reportC. In a geography bookD. In a traveling handbook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。

武邑中学2014-2015高三一轮复习单元检测题七第一节: 阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）AI recall my mother’s voice which called me to order, and often ended with some strong proverb to express the gravity of the wrong done. It was common practice for my mother to send me off soul-searching with a proverb.Of the many interactions I had with my mother those many years ago, one stands out with clarity. I remember the occasion when Mother sent me to the main road, about twenty yards away from the farmhouse, to invite a passing group of seasonal work-seekers home for a meal. She instructed me to take a container along and collect dry cow dung (牛粪) for making a fire. I was then to prepare the meal for the group of work-seekers.The thought of making an open fire outside at midday, cooking in a large three-legged pot in that high heat, was enough to upset even an angel. I did not manage to hide my feelings from my mother, and after serving the group, she called me to the balcony, where she usually sat to attend to her sewing (缝纫).Looking straight into my eyes, she said, “Tsholofelo, why were you so unhappy when I requested you to prepare a meal for those poor people?” Despite my attempt to deny her allegation(断言), and using the heat of the fire and the sun as an excuse for my alleged behavior, Mother, giving me a firm look, said, “A foot has no nose.” It means, “You can’t detect what trouble may lie ahead of you.” Had I denied the group of people a meal, it may have happened that, in my travels some time in the future, I found myself at the mercy of those very individuals. As if that was not enough to shame me, Mother continued, “A person is a person because of another person.”1. We learn from the passage that Tsholofelo’s mother often _____.A. quoted proverbs when she was talking with othersB. asked Tsholofelo to read more proverbsC. collected proverbs in her spare timeD. used proverbs to teach Tsholofelo2.

Scores of farms across the country are opening up to overnight guests.

Adults $75, teens $50, kids 12 and under $35, including breakfast and dinner; shared baths.Beth and Bob Kennett run a farm straight out of a storybook. You’ll find Beth in the kitchen, rolling out dough(生面团) for a pie. Bob’s busy with other work. Guests sleep in seven sunny bedrooms right in the farm house and can participate in any of the farm jobs. Maybe you and the kids won't be up at 6 a.m. to meet the milk truck, but you can help with the milking twice a day, collect eggs, and pick sweet corn and wild blackberries in season.HULL-O FARMDurham, N.Y.; 518／239-6950; ; Adults $110, kids 10—14 $60, 5—9 $50,2—4 $35, under 2 free, including breakfast and dinner; private baths.It started in 1993, as a way to bring in some extra money at a time of falling milk prices. But soon after Frank and Sherry Hull opened their Catskill Mountains dairy farm to overnight visitors, they discovered they loved it. As you drive up, Sherry greets you on the porch(入口处) of the 1825 farmhouse with a cow-shaped cookie jar. Before long your kids are playing around with the cows, sheep, ducks, goats, and geese and getting ready for a hayride(乘坐装满干草的牛车出游).MERAMEC FARM CABINSBourbon, Mo; 573／732-4765; .

Who will be most likely interested in this webpage?A. Kids who want to find pleasure in the theme parks.B. People who expect to be employed on the farms.C. Those who plan to have family vacations on working farms.D. Researchers who are interested in raising cows on farms.CAfter successfully serving their term for four years, military service men and women are given the choice to stay in the military or return to civilian life.For some, having to readjust to civilian life is one of the most challenging assignments our returning soldiers and marines(水兵) will ever have to undertake. While people may think that readjusting should be simple, they must take into consideration all the physical and mental stress our servicemen went through.Post-traumatic Stress Disorder(创伤后应激障碍), or PTSD, is a mental disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as military combat(打仗).Most survivors of trauma return to normal given a little time. In the military, the marines are given a two-week course on how to return to civilian life.Unfortunately, some will have stress reactions that do not go away on their own, or may even get worse over time. These individuals may develop PTSD.People who suffer from PTSD have difficulty sleeping because they are often reliving the experience through nightmares(梦魇) and flashbacks, and feel deserted or often stand off, and these symptoms can be severe enough and last long enough to significantly damage the person’s daily life.Fullerton College, like most college, has its own Veteran’s(老兵) Office. Ray Bustos has been running the office for 3 years. Bustos acts as a liaison(联络) for the school and the veteran students. He makes sure the veterans returning to school get the right benefits. There are various types of financial aid for soldiers and marines. He strongly encourages the use of the Veterans Affairs website.The website is very informative and extremely helpful for veterans as well as for friends and relatives of veterans who want to learn more.9. One purpose of the writer in writing this passage is _______.A. to introduce some methods to cure PTSDB. to instruct PTSD patients to return to civilian lifeC. to recommend a website for veterans and people concernedD. to give military service men and women advice on civilian life10. What problem will some returning soldiers and marines meet with?A. How to readjust to civilian life.B. How to get rid of mental diseases.C. How to get along with PTSD patients.D. How to return to school for benefits.11. Which of the following is true about Ray Bustos?A. He is a veteran who has just come back from a military combat.B. He runs Fullerton College with a veteran office.C. He is in charge of an office dealing with veteran affairs.D. He provides a lot of financial aid for soldiers and marines.12. The best title for the passage is ______.A. PTSD: Killer of A Civilian LifeB. The Last Assignment for All Military PersonsC. How to Overcome PTSDD. Ready for A Civilian Life?DLots of people have hobbies. Some people collect old coins or foreign stamps; some do needlework; others spend most of their spare time on a particular sport.A lot of people enjoy reading. But reading tastes differ widely. Some people only read newspapers or comics, some like reading novels, while others prefer books on astronomy, wildlife, or technological discoveries.If I happen to be interested in horses or precious stones, I cannot expect everyone else to share my enthusiasm. If I watch all the sports programs on TV with great pleasure, I must put up with the fact that other people find sports boring.Is there nothing that interests us all? Is there nothing that concerns everyone—no matter who they are or where they live in the world? Yes, dear Sophie, there are questions that certainly should interest everyone. They are precisely the questions this course is about.What is the most important thing in life? If we ask someone living on the edge of starvation, the answer is food. If we ask someone dying of cold, the answer is warmth. If we put the same question to someone who feels lonely and isolated, the answer will probably be the company of other people.But when these basic needs have been satisfied—will there still be something that everybody needs? Philosophers think so. They believe that man cannot live by bread alone. Of course everyone needs food. And everyone needs love and care. But there is something else—apart from that—which everyone needs, and that is to figure out who we are and why we are here.Being interested in why w e are here is not a “casual” interest like collecting stamps. People who ask such questions are taking part in a debate that has gone on as long as man has lived on this planet. How the universe, the earth, and life came into being is a bigger and more important question than who won the most gold medals in the last Olympics.13. This text is most probably taken from __________.A. a research paperB. a course scheduleC. a personal letterD. a book review14. Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?A. Philosophical questions are as interesting as collecting stamps.B. Thinking about philosophical questions is a serious interest.C. Figuring out who we are and why we are here is man’s basic needs.D. Philosophy has universal appeal and concerns everybody in nature.15. The author believes that __________.A. no existing subject can interest everyone in the worldB. different people may have different interests and concernsC. everyone has to figure out who we are and why we are hereD. people in modern society pay more attention to philosophical questionsE____16___ Life for these people is different from that for younger Americans. Most senior citizens retire, or no longer work full time. Also it is unusual for people of this age to live with their children and grandchildren. Grandparents tend to live in their own houses or apartments away from their families.For many senior citizens, the years after 65 are not enjoyable. They feel unproductive when the no longer work. ___17____ In addition, they may feel lonely being away from their families and their contacts they had in their work. Moreover, they become more concerned with their health as they grow older. If they live in big cities, they often worry about their safety.___18____ They feel free to do things they were not able to do when they were working and raising families. They now have time to enjoy hobbies and sports and travel. They associate with their fellow senior citizens who have common interests. Some senior citizens continue to work beyond retirement age. ____19____ The number of senior citizens in the US is increasing rapidly because people are living longer than before. ____20___ Because of their larger numbers and more active life styles, senior citizens are gaining social influence in the country, both politically and economically. Their concerns are receiving a wider audience than ever before. The time may come when all Americans will look forward to becoming senior citizens.A.Their lives lose meaning.B.Most old people can not make money and they live a very hard life.C.Other senior citizens enjoy their lives.D.The average life span for Americans is now more than 74 years.E.People over the age of 65 in the US are called senior citizens.F.Many find new careers and professional opportunities after they retire.G.Few senior citizens in America are fond of work after they retire.第二节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）Not long ago, I had a hard week at work. 21 just kept popping up(出现) everywhere and I was struggling to keep from 22 my cool from all the stress.

AMars was the first planet that humans attempted to get to．Since the 1960’s，scientists have been working to learn more information about the Mars’past，We now know that Mars was once a warm，wet place with great oceans and deep riv ers．We also know that about 3.7 billion years ago，all that water disappeared when the planet lost its air．But why did the atmosphere on Mars change so greatly?NASA had launched the MAVEN spacecraft in the hope of answering that very question．MAVEN will study the re mains of Mars’ air and help scientists figure out what became of the rest of it．The spacecraft was launched on Monday，November 18，2013，from Cape Canaveral，Florida．The trip to Mars takes about 10 months．and MAVEN is scheduled to go into orbit in September 2014．It is the first spacecraft created with the purpose of studying Mars' atmosphere．Its wingspan(翼展)measures 37．5 feet not quite the length of a school bus, and it weighs 1991 pounds about the same amount as a small car．MAVEN is equipped with eight different tools to measure and study the planet’s atmosphere．To collect information，it will fly in orbit as fast as 3278 miles per hour，and as slow as 93 miles per hour．Once it arrived at Mars，MAVEN will have plenty of company．The spacecraft Curiosity is still walking around the planet’s rocky surface，studying the geology，chemistry and possible biology there．NASA currently has a number of spacecrafts getting unique views of Mars with powerful cameras and telescopes．These missions are all slow，steady steps．forward to discover Mars secret past．While the results may not be revealed for some time，an exciting exploration is on the way．56．We can learn from the first paragraph that________A．all the scientists wanted to live on MarsB．spaceships have been sent up to Mars since 1960sC．people have had a better knowledge of Mars nowadaysD．all the water on Mars has been gone for ten billion years57．The MAVEN spacecraft has been launched with the purpose of________A．assisting Curiosity in studying the geology of Mars.B．analyzing the change of the atmosphere on MarsC．checking whether water still exists on MarsD．analyzing what is contained in Mars’air58．What do we know about MAVEN according to the text?A．It weighs almost as much as a small school bus．B．It is scheduled to go into orbit in December 2014．C．It is the second spacecraft to study Mars’atmosphere．D．It will explore Mars’atmosphere with eight different tools．59．It can be inferred from，the text that__________．A．more wonderful things about Mars will be found in the futureB．more spacecraft will be sent up to Mars from now onC．many different tasks will be given to MAVEN when it lands on MarsD．many spacecrafts are working around Mars to get more information60．What is the best title of this text?A．A new discovery on MarsB．A new spacecraft sent to MarsC．The rapid development of MarsD．The great change of the Mars’atmosphereBA documentary project is gathering stories of kindness from all over the world．Produced by award—winning filmmaker Eva Brzeski，Kindness the Movie is an experimental film project that aims to pro vide a unique glimpse into random acts of kindness on an international scale．Individuals are encouraged to send in short video entries，creating an overall montage(蒙太奇)of kindness．“I want to hear stories that have touched lives，changed ideas，overcome prejudices and bridged divisions between people，”explained Eva．“And I think，if I want to hear those stories，maybe others want to hear as well．I believe we are thirsty for better news and we don’t want to see those pictures painted by the mainstream media．”The film will address questions about how kind or unkind the world is．It will document different people’s experiences of kindness，including unusual acts of care and generosity that people have observed or heard about．As an incentive(鼓励)，a $10,000 cash prize is offered for the best video entry received．While Eva has welcomed a diverse range of videos from around the world，she still hopes for more,“I have heard people say ‘Oh，I want to submit a video，but the bar is so high’，”she says．“This isn’t the case．The video doesn’t need to be high-tech；in fact we don’t want it to be fancy．No music，no editing and no special effects．Just someone talking and telling the truth．”Kindness the Movie may still be in the early stages of production，but Eva has great ambitions for the final outcome of the film．“We hope it will eventually be in theatres everywhere to raise people’s awareness of kindness．It sounds hard but we are trying to start a revolution．”61．What’s the purpose of the documentary project?A．To make better films．B．To raise people’s awareness of kindness．C．To provide random acts of kindness．D．To document different people’s experiences of kindness．62．What kind of story is not favoured by Eva?A．It touches lives． B．It changes ideas．C．It removes prejudices．D．It strengthens relationships．63．Why do people not want to see the news from the mainstream media in Eva’s view?

Three plate were already on the table when the man closest to me pointing to one plate and asked me the name of the fish on it. Before I could answer him, she continued to ask me the name of the fish on another one plate. I was about to answer him while I noticed that the last plate on my tray (托盘) began to fall. They fell noisily to the floor seconds late, spreading its contents on the carpet.
