Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing.Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival. This is why it is celebrated in late fall, after the crops are in. But one of the first thanksgivings in America had nothing to do with a good harvest. On December 4, 1619, the Pilgrims from England landed near what is now Charles City, Virginia. They knelt down and thanked God for their safe journey across the Atlantic.The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest. The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620. They had a difficult time and the first winter was cruel. Many of the Pilgrims died. But the next year, they had a good harvest. So Governor Bradford declared a three-day feast(盛宴). The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them for their special feast. Everyone brought food.In time, other colonies(殖民地)began to celebrate a day of thanksgiving. But it took years before there was a national Thanksgiving Day. During the Civil War, Sarah Josepha Hale persuaded Abraham Lincoln to do something about it. He proclaimed(宣布)the last Thursday of November 1863 as a day of thanksgiving. Today, Americans celebrate this happy harvest festival on the fourth Thursday in November. Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving Day in much the same way as their American neighbours. But the Canadian thanks-giving Day falls on the second Monday in October.【1】Thanksgiving Day is celebrated .A.in spring B.summer C.in autumn D.in winter【2】The first to celebrate thanksgiving were .A.some people from England B.the American IndiansC.Sarah Josepha Hale D.Governor Bradford【3】We can infer from the passage that New England must be .A. in the U. S. A.B. in Great BritainC. in CanadaD. on some island off the Atlantic【4】Which of the following is NOT true?A.Thanksgiving Day used to be a holiday to celebrate a good harvest.B.Abraham Lincoln was not the first to decide on thanksgiving celebrations.C.Thanksgiving Day is celebrated to express the American and Indian people’s thanks to God.D.There’s little difference between the American way and the Canadian way to celebrate Thanksgiving Day.【5】The passage mainly tells us .A. how Thanksgiving Day is celebrated in the U. S. A.B. how Thanksgiving Day came into being and the different ways it is celebratedC. that Thanksgiving Day is in fact a harvest holidayD. how the way to celebrate Thanksgiving Day changed with the time and places2.As I was leaving to meet Lynne,my roommate told me that I’d better take some money,but I didn’t listen to him. I thought that Lynne would pay because she had invited me.I arrived at the restaurant exactly on time. I’d been told that Americans expect you to be on time. Lynne and I sat at a table in the corner of the restaurant and a waitress came and took our order. The dinner was a great success. I talked a lot about Saudi Arabia and Lynne told me all about herself. After two hours the waitress finally came and asked if we wanted one check or two. Lynne said two. We went to the cashier and Lynne paid her check. I was embarrassed (尴尬) when the cashier gave me my bill. I had no money to pay for my meal. Then I had an idea. I pretended to look for something in my pockets and said,“Oh!I forgot my money! Can I call my roommate,please?” The cashier showed me where the phone was and I quickly called my roommate.In a few minutes he arrived with some money,but he couldn’t hide how he felt. He laughed all the way home. Now,I think it’s funny too. But at the time I was terribly embarrassed. I thought that an invitation to have dinner meant the same thing in the United States as in my country. I guess you have to understand that your customs (习俗) are only your customs. When you visit a foreign country,you have to learn about their customs,too. 【1】Customs can be ________in different countries according to this passage.A.close to each other B.entirely different C.quite the same D.very similar【2】The writer’s roommate advised the writer to take some money with him to________.A.invite Lynne to dinner B.pay for the tableC.share the cost of the meal D.pay for the restaurant【3】The writer and Lynne________.A.shared a successful dinner B.had a talk for three hoursC.traveled to Saudi Arabia together D.enjoyed their meal without talking【4】Why didn’t Lynne pay the check for the writer?A.Because she thought it was natural for people to pay their own check.B.Because she didn’t have the meal.C.Because she wanted to embarrass the writer.D.Because she didn’t have enough money with her.【5】The roommate laughed all the way home because the writer________.A.was embarrassed when he couldn’t pay his breakfastB.would not listen to him when he left the houseC.telephoned him to bring some books to himD.hadn’t told Lynne the truth3.I had an experience some years ago, which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to hold two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died “ full of years”, as the Bible would say. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence(吊唁) calls on the two families on the same afternoon.At the first home, the son of the deceased(已故的)woman said to me, “ If only I had sent my mother to F lorida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, “ If only I hadn’t insisted on my mother’s going to Florida, she would be alive today.. t hat long airplane ride, the sudden change of climate, was more than she could take. It’s my fault that she’s dead.”You see that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course—keeping Mother at home, putting off the operation—would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?There are seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to feel guilty. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens that leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.The second element is the view that we are the cause of what happens , especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believe that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood.A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him , and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happen.【1】What is said about the two diseased elderly women?A.They lived out a natural lifeB.They died of exhaustion after the long plane rideC.They weren’t used to the change in weather.D.They died due to lack of care by family members.【2】The author had to conduct the two women’s funerals probably because ______.A.he wanted to comfort the two familiesB.he was an official from the communityC.he had great pity for the deceasedD.he was minister of the local church【3】People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because _____.A.they couldn’t find a better way to expre ss their sorrowB.they believe that they were responsibleC.they had neglected the natural course of eventsD.they didn’t know things often turn in the opposite direction【4】According to the passage, the underlined part in paragraph 4 probably means that_____.A.everything in the world is predeterminedB.the world can be interpreted in different waysC.there is an explanation for everything in the worldD.we have to be sensible in order to understand the world【5】What’s the idea of the passage?A.Life and death is an unsolved mystery.B.Every story should have a happy ending.C.Never feel guilty all the time because not every disaster is our fault.D.In general, the survivors will feel guilty about the people who passed away.4.The internet has led to a huge increase in credit-card(信用卡) fraud. Your card information could even be for sale in an illegal Website(非法网站). Websites offering cheap goods and services should be regarded with care Online shoppers who enter their credit-card information may never receive the goods they thought they bought. The thieves then go shopping with your card number—or sell the information over the Internet. Computer hackers(黑客)have broken down security(安全) system, raising questions about the safety of card holder information.Several months ago, 25,000 customers of a CD universe, an online music retailer(批发商), were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit-card numbers were posted on a Website after the retailer refused to pay US$ 157,828 to get back the information.Credit-card firms are now fighting against online fraud. Master-card is working on plans for Web only credit-card, with a lower credit limit. The card could be used only for shopping online. However , there are a few simple steps you can take to keep from being cheated.Ask about your credit-card firm’s online rules: under British law, cardholders are responsible for the first US $ 78 of any fraudulent spending. And shop only at secure sites: send your credit-card information only if the Website offers advanced secure system.If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. The Website address may also start http://--the extra “s” stands for secure. If in doubt, give your credit-card information over the telephone.Keep your password safe: most online sites require a user name and password before placing an order. Treat your password with care.【1】The underl ined word “fraud” in the first paragraph probably means ______.A.cheating B.sale C.payment D.use【2】According to this passage most people worry about shopping on the Internet because ______.A.a great number of stolen credit-cards are sold on the Internet every dayB.fraud on the Internet happens very oftenC.many Websites break down every dayD.there are too many illegal Websites on the Internet【3】Thieves usually get the information of the credit-card ______.A.because many customers lost their cardsB.by paying money for people working in the information companiesC.because of the carelessness of the customersD.by stealing the information from Websites【4】If the passwords of your credit-cards are not probably kept, _____.A.the bank and the shop will suffer great lossesB.you will not be able to get back your informationC.you might suffer great lossesD.the bank will answer for your loss【5】What’s the best title of the passage?A.How to Beat Online Credit-card ThievesB.How to Shop on the InternetC.Never Use Credit-card Without an Advanced ComputerD.Why Thieves Steal Credit-card Information四、其他阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。

2016年江西省高考英语第一次模拟试题及答案

2016年江西省高考英语第一次模拟试题及答案本试卷分第Ⅰ卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)两部分,共150分,共13页。

第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力(1—25小题)略第二部分阅读理解(共两节, 40分)第一节(15小题,每小题2分,共30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AThey are the fashion statement loved by hip hop stars and rappers.But now it seems that grilles(金属网罩)—teeth jewellery loved by rappers such as Nelly—are not just about the way you look—you can use them to listen to music,too.A design student has created a way of using the jewellery mouthpiece to hear songs by means of “bone conduction” through your skull.Aisen Chacin,of Parsons The New School for Design in New York,attached a vibrating(振动)motor to a digital music player and connected it to a mold(模子)of her upper teeth.She also placed controls on the underside so users can change songs or increase the volume by pushing up with your tongue.When the music starts,the vibration is strong enough that the music can be heard clearly—without the need for headphones.If the sound being played is loud enough,others can even hear it apparently coming out of your teeth.A video posted on YouTube shows one of Chacin's friends sitting down with the motor in his mouth and his hands in his ears.He didn't believe his eyes when he heard the music.Grilles were made popular by the song by rapper Nelly even though dentists have made warnings against them.They say jewellery materials like gold or diamonds can wear down the enamel(牙釉质)on your teeth and that grilles should not be worn.Chacin showed her device,called Play-A-Grill,at the New Interfaces for Musical Expression conference last week.She said,“Grilles are almost always made of precious metal.They are completely removable,and almost used as a grill.Because the grill is worn over the teeth,sound can be spread using bone conduction hearinginstead of outside speakers or headphones.”21.When we use the grilles,we________.A.can sing to the musicB.can change songs using tonguesC.need to attach a digital music playerD.can hear songs through the outside ears22.Grilles are different from traditional music players because''''.A.they are able to play songs and music a lot more clearlyB.they make it unnecessary for listeners to wear headphonesC.they can play the music loud without interrupting other peopleD.songs coming out of our teeth seem to be sung by ourselves23.How did one of Chacin's friends feel when he heard the music?A.He felt satisfied.B.He felt interested.C.He felt convenient. D.He felt surprised.24.What's the dentists' attitude towards grilles?A.Negative. B.Positive.C.Cautious. D.Unsure.BI was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized.Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere.She even labeled(贴标签)everything.I always looked for everything.Over time,Kate got neater and I got messier.She would push my dirty clothing over,and I would lay my books on her tidy desk.So we both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening.Kate came into the room.Soon,I heard her screaming,“Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!”Deafened,I saw my shoes flying at me.I jumped to my feet and started yelling.She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger.We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call.Kate answered it.From her end of the conversation,I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill.When she hung up,she quicklycrawled(爬)under her covers,sobbing.Obviously,that was something she should not go through alone.All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.Slowly,I collected the pencils,took back the books,made my bed,cleaned the socks and swept the floor,even on her side.I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up.She was watching,her tears dried and her expression was such disbelief.Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine.I looked up into her eyes.She smiled at me,“Thanks.”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year.We didn’t always agree,but we learned the key to living together:giving in, cleaning up and holding on.25.What made Kate so angry one evening?A.She couldn’t find her books.B.She heard the author shouting loud.C.She got the news that her grandma was ill.D.She saw the author's shoes beneath her bed.26.The author tidied up the room most probably because_____.A.she was scared by Kate’s angerB.she hated herself for being so messyC.she wanted to show her careD.she was asked by Kate to do so27.How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?A.By analyzing causes.B.By showing differences.C.By describing a process.D.By following time order.28.What might be the best title for the story?A.My Friend Kate B. Hard Work Pays OffC. How to be OrganizedD. Learning to be RoommatesCWashoe, a female chimpanzee (黑猩猩) believed to be the first non-human to acquire human language, has died of natural causes at the research institute where she was kept.The chimp died on Tuesday night, according to Roger and Deborah Fouts, co-founders of The Chimpanzee and Human Communications Institute in Washington, where she lived.Washoe was born in 1965 in Africa, where she was captured by the Air Force and taken to the US for research use in the space program. In 1966, she left the program and began living with two scientists, Allen and Beatrix Gardner, who led a project to teach the chimp American Sign Language (ASL) in Washoe, Nevada, for which it was named. Washoe had been living on Central Washington University’s Ellensburg Campus since 1980. She had a vocabulary of about 250 words. Also, Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimps: Tatu, 31, Loulis, 29, and Dar, 31Primate (灵长类) researcher Jane Goodall, in Fouts’ book Next of Kin, noted the importance of the work with Washoe. “Roger, through his ongoing conversations with Washoe and her extended family, has opened a window into a chimpanzee’s mind,” Goodall said.Though previous efforts to teach chimps spoken languages had failed, the researchers believed there was a better chance using signs. But Washoe’s language skills were disputed by scientists who believed that language is unique to humans. Among those who doubted that chimps could use language were linguist (语言学家) Noam Chomsky and Harvard scientist Steven Pinker. They believed primates simply learn to perform certain acts in order to receive rewards, and do not acquire true language. 29.As for its first task, Washoe was involved with _______.A.some space researchB.a study on African animalsC.an ASL projectD.the program of training the Air Force30.In Goodall’s opinion, teaching Washoe ASL ______.A.was not successfulB.led to the book Next of KinC.won honor for FoutsD.made a difference31.In the last paragraph, the underlined word “disputed” probably means “______”.A.supported B. studiedC.questioned D. discussed32.What can be inferred from the passage?A.The ASL project was first set up in Africa for the study on Washoe.B.Washoe may communicate with other chimps by signing.C.Washoe must have been able to speak 250 words or so.D.The researchers will prove that most chimps could use language.DA 2-mile-wide tornado tore through the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore on Monday,killing at least 51 people including 20 children,destroying entire tracts of homes and trapping two dozen school children beneath rubble.Rescue teams raced against the setting sun and worked into the darkness in search of survivors as the dangerous storm system threatened several southern Plains states with more twisters.The Oklahoma medical examiner confirmed 51 deaths including 20 children,making it the deadliest U.S.tornado since one killed 161 people in Joplin,Missouri.Area hospitals reported at least 230 people injured,including at least 45 children.Emergency crews searched the rubble of Plaza Towers Elementary School to look for two dozen missing children,Oklahoma Lieutenant Governor Todd Lamb said.The school took a direct hit from the tornado,Lamb told CNN.Police and fire crews pulled some school children from the devastation,a KFOR television reporter said from the scene.The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center provided the town with a warning 16 minutes before the tornado touched down at 3:01 p.m.local time(4:01 p.m.EDT),which is greater than the average eight to ten minutes of warning,said Keli Pirtle,a spokeswoman for the center in Norman,Oklahoma.The U.S.Federal Aviation Administration(FAA)imposed a temporary flightrestriction that allowed only relief aircraft in the area,saying it was at the request of local police who wanted quiet to search for buried survivors.Oklahoma activated the National Guard,and the U.S.Federal Emergency Management Agency activated teams to support recovery operations and coordinate responses for multiple agencies.Briarwood Elementary School,which also stood in the storm's path,was all but destroyed.On_the_first_floor,sections_of_walls_had_been_peeled_away,affording_clear_views_into_the_building,while in other areas,cars hurled by the storm winds were lodged in the walls.While the school was a wreck,nearby playground clear equipment stood undamaged,though littered with rubble.Across the street,people picked through the remains of their homes,looking for any possessions they might salvage.The number of injured as reported by several hospitals rose rapidly throughout the afternoon.33.From this passage we can infer that .A.this tornado is the most serious in history in the USAB.this tornado led to 20 school children deaths in OklahomaC.this tornado isn't the deadliest one in history in the USAD.this tornado hit entire tracts of homes and schools badly34.What does the author want to show us in the 6th paragraph?A.The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center didn't provide the exact time for people.B.The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center had warned people of the tornado ahead of time.C.The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center should warn people of the tornado ahead of eight to ten minutes.D.The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center had warned people of the tornado at 3:01 p.m.35.Why did the FAA impose a temporary flight restriction in Oklahoma?A.The weather there was not suitable for flight.B.The flights weren't allowed to pass over Oklahoma.C.People wanted quiet to search for buried survivors.D.The injured wanted quiet to have a good rest in hospitals.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。

For a moment, I thought he might be 38 ,but I could tell from the expression on his face that he was not. He was 39 . I felt like saying that it was ridiculous (可笑的)to 40 that out of all the millions of people in Chicago I could possibly have ever bumped into his friend.But, 41 , I just smiled and reminded him that Chicago was a very 42 city. He nodded, and I thought he was going to be content to drop the subject and talk about something else. But I was wrong. He was silent for a few minutes, and then he 43 to tell me all about his friend.Hi s friend’s main 44 in life seemed to be tennis. He was an excellent tennis player , and he 45 had his own tennis court. There were a lot of people with swimming 46 , yet there were only two people with private tennis court; his friend in Chicago was one of them. I told him that I knew several 47 like that, including my brother, who was a doctor in California. He 48 that maybe there were more private courts in the country thanhe 49 but he did not know of any others. Then he asked me 50 my brother lived in California. When I said Sacramento, he said that was a coincidence 51 his Chicago friend spent the summer in Sacramento last year and he lived next door to a 52 who had a tennis court in his backyard. I said I felt that really was a coincidence (巧合) because my next-door neighbour had gone to Sacramento last summer and had 53 the house next to my brother’s house. For a moment, we stared at each other, but we did not say anything.“Would your friend’s name happen to be Roland Kirkwood?” I asked finally. He 54 and said, “Yes.

The octopus can indeed be a deadly hunter, but only of its natural victims. Some shellfish(壳类动物)and an occasional sick or incautious fish have reason to be frightened of this multi-armed hunter, but a person is much too large to interest even the biggest octopus. Even the largest among octopi is much smaller than most people imagine. Far from being large enough to swallow a ship, as monster octopi in movies have been known to do, the largest octopus, found on the Pacific coast, weighs around 110 pounds and grows to no more than ten feet in width.The hard, parrot-like beak(喙)of an octopus is not used for attacking deep-sea divers, but for cutting open shellfish. Indeed, the octopus possesses such a tiny throat that it cannot swallow large pieces of meat. Instead, it feeds by pouring digestive juices into its victims, and then sucking up the soupy remains. A shellfish that finds itself in the grasp of an octopus has only a short time to live. But human beings are perfectly safe. Still, people rarely care to go close enough to these careful creatures to get a good look at them.【1】This passage is mainly about .A.the horrors of the octopusB.the largest octopus in the worldC.octopi and their behaviorD.the octopus’s deadly hunting method【2】It is implied but not stated in the passage that .A.people have unreasonable fears about the octopusB.the octopus is not interested in human beingsC.the octopus is afraid of human beingsD.the octopus is a very cruel sea animal【3】What does the underlined part “careful creatures” refer to in the last paragraph?A.Octopi.B.Shellfish.C.Fish.D.The victims.【4】The hard beak of the octopus is used for .A.attacking deep-sea divers B.cutting up large pieces of meatC.cutting open its victims D.defending itself【5】From the passage, we can conclude that .A.the octopus is not dangerous to manB.people often fear creatures that are not dangerous to themC.the octopus only hunts its natural victimsD.things described in movies are not to be believed2.One night recently , I was driving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour . A car approached from the opposite direction at about the same speed . As we passed each other , I caught the other driver’s eye for only a second . I wondered whether he might be thinking , as I was , how dependent we were on each other at that moment . I was relying on him not to fall asleep , not to be put off by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden end . Though we had never spoken a word to each other , he relied on me in just the same way .Multiplied a million times over, I believe that is the way the world works . At some level , we all depend upon one another . Sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line . And sometimes it requires us to act cooperatively , with friends or even with strangers .As technology shrinks our world , the need increases for cooperative action among nations . In 2003, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the SARS virus , which saved thousands of lives . The threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem, one requiring coordinated action by police and intelligence forces across the world . We must recognize that our fates (命运) are not ours alone to control .In my own life , I’ve put great stock in personal responsibility . But , as the years have passed, I’ve also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others . so , while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a dark road , what we must learn is that the approaching light may not be a threat , but a shared moment of trust .【1】The author considers very important .A.driving alone on a dark road B.independence of peopleC.cooperation to identify SARS virus D.shared trust and cooperation【2】The author said that they depended on each other in the same way because .A.the approaching car was very dangerousB.they both drove their car at a terrific speedC.he might be killed out of the other’s careless drivingD.it was dark and the road was not wide enough【3】From the second paragraph ,we know the author drew the important lesson from .A.only one experience B.many similar experiencesC.a driver on a dark road D.many friends and strangers【4】The need for cooperation increases because .A.peoples’ fates can’t be controlled by themselvesB.the SARS virus spread quicklyC.terrorism can happen everywhereD.the world has become smaller【5】We can infer from the last paragraph that the author has .A.believed in one’s own personal responsibilityB.counted upon himself alone in everythingC.had no trust in others’ good faith and judgmentD.had a change on his viewpoint of life3.Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict.” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I coul d change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes—khaki pants and a sports shirt—to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I am working harder than ever.” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday).This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing thei r employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code.” “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire p eople if you have a conservative (保守的)dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale(心境,士气). Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”【1】David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict,” because .A.he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirtB.he couldn’t stand a clean appearanceC.he wanted his clothes to look neat all the timeD.he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes【2】David Smith wears casual clothes now, because .A.they make him feel at ease when workingB.he cannot afford to buy expensive clothesC.he looks handsome in casual clothesD.he no longer works for any company【3】According to this passage, which of the following statements is FALSE?A.Many employees don’t like a conservative dress code.B.Comfortable clothes make employees more productive.C.A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.D.All the employers in the U. S. are for casual office wear.【4】According to this passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Company workers started to dress down about fifty years ago.B.Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 90s.C.“Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers.D.Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.【5】In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT .A.saving employees’ moneyB.making employees more attractiveC.improving employees’ motivationD.making employees happier4.Imagine a classroom missing the one thing that’s long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing?Paper,No notebooks,no test paper.Nor are there any pencils or pens,which always seem to run out of ink at the critical moment.A“paperless classroom”is what more and more sch ools are trying to achieve.Students don't do any handwriting in this class. Instead, they use palm (手掌) size, or specially-designed computers. The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every student's personal computer.Having computers also means that students can use the Web. They can look up information on any subjectthey're studying from math to social science.High school teacher Judy Herrell in Florida, US, described how her class used the Web to learn about the war in Afghanistan (阿富汗) over one year ago."We could touch every side of the country through different sites? from the forest to refugee camps (难民营)," she said. "Using a book that's three or four years old is impossible."And exams can go online too. At a high school in Tennessee, US, students take tests on their own computers. The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them to his own electronic grade book.A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper. High school teacher Stephanie Sorrell in Kentucky, US, said she used to give about 900 pieces of paper each week to each student."Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers," she said.But, with all this technology, there's always the risk that the machines will break down. So, in case of a power failure or technical problems, paper textbooks are still widely available for these hi-tech students.【1】What does the part of the last sentence in the first paragraph, “run out of ink at the critical moment”, mean? A.Pens may not write well at the critical moment.B.Pens get lost easily, so you may not find them at the critical moment.C.Pens may have little or no ink at the critical moment.D.Pens use ink, while pencils don't.【2】In a paperless classroom, what is a must?A.Pens.B.Computers.C.Information.D.Texts.【3】The high school teacher, Judy Herrell, used the example of her class to show that _______.A.the Web could take them everywhereB.the Web taught them a lotC.the Web is a good tool for informationD.the Web better than the textbooks, can give the latest and comprehensive (全面的) information【4】The paperless classrooms will benefit _____ the most.A.students B.teachers C.trees D.computers【5】What does the phrase in the last paragraph, “break down”, mean?A.Break into pieces.B.Stop workingC.Fall down.D.Lose control.四、其他Do you like chocolate? Most people do.Some like it in bars.Others just like big squares of it.Say you just got a box of chocolate.Which piece do you pick first? A study carried out by a professor in the University of Virginia showed that people's choices of chocolates show their personality.If you choose a round piece, you are a person who likes to party.If you select an oval shape, you are a person who strives.You like to make things and push yourself to be successful.Picking a square shape shows that this is an honest and truthful person you can depend on.What kind of chocolate do you pick? Maybe you like milk chocolate.This shows you have warm feelings about the past, while dark chocolate means something else—the person who chooses it looks forward to the future.What about white chocolate? Would you like to choose it? , you may find it hard to make up your mind.Those who like chocolate with nuts are people who like to help others.Do you believe these ideas? Can chocolate tell all these things? It doesn't matter.There is one sure thing about eaters of chocolates - they eat it because they like it.【1】What is the best title of the text? (Please answer within 8 words.)____________________________________________________________________________【2】Fill in the blank with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.(no more than 5 words)____________________________________________________________________________【3】What does the underlined word “this” refer to?____________________________________________________________________________【4】What’s the writer’s attitude towards the inform ation about chocolate in the text?

But how can you become an international volunteer?* Plan practically. Contact the organization a few months before leaving and find out if there are materials which are rare and hard to attain for the project. What you often consider plentiful here, such as nails or hammers, is in great need in other parts of the world.* Do the project together, not on your own. You are a guest in the community. The most successful result is not that you build something and walk away, but that you and the community build something as a team. Share skills and build together.* Be flexible. Not everything is going to happen as planned. Often the other country doesn't have the right tools, manpower, transportation or funds to get all the needed work done. In a word, they lack infrastructure(基础设施).* Contact with the people in the community. Often you will have "downtime" outside of the range of the project. Rather than retreat to the group with whom you traveled, be sure to spend time with the people of the community. Listen to the things about their lives. If you can't speak the language, smiles do wonders. And you will be surprised ― you will find a way to communicate.Volunteering is a special and life-changing experience for everyone involved. Be prepared that the person who may be changed most is you. It's a joyful experience which will encourage you to view yourself, your neighbors and your world quite differently.21. When you volunteer to join in a project, you are advised to .A.build something and walk awayB.make good preparations in advanceC.avoid involving locals in activitiesD.depend on yourself to solve problems22. According to the author, volunteering will _________.A.reduce challenges in the worldB.determine the future of a volunteerC.change a person's opinion of the worldD.benefit volunteers most in their learning23. What is the passage mainly about?A.What you prepare to become a volunteer.B.Where volunteers are needed most in the world.C.Why volunteering is popular with young people.D.How volunteers develop a relationship with local people.BThe adder(蝰蛇)is the only poisonous snake native to Britain. Adders have the most highly developed poison injecting mechanism of all snakes, but they are not aggressive animals. Adders will only use their poison as a last means of defence, usually if caught or trodden on. No one has died from adder bites in Britain for over 20 years. By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonousbite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal . Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites in Britain ,and thought these bites can make some people very ill, and there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.24. What does the underlined phrase “ trodden on” probably mean?A. Found outB. Heard fromC. Stepped on.D. Robbed of.25. Where are adders to be found?A. In fertile fields in Scotland.B. On wild land throughout Britain.C. In many parts of Britain and Ireland.D. Everywhere in Britain except Scotland26. What should you do if you are with someone who is bitten by an adder?A. Catch the biting adder at once.B. Don’t worry about the bitten person.C. Don’t try to treat the bite by yourself.D. Operate on the person as soon as possible.27. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Poisonous SnakesB. Adders in BritainC. Take Care of Snake BitesD. Protect Endangered AddersCWhat would you do if you were a fifth grader facing a huge homework load every night, and you found out that there was a machine that would do all the work for you? That's the situation presented to Sam, Kelsey, Judy and Brenton in Danutman's entertaining new book for young readers, The Homework Machine.The four children, all fifth graders in Miss Rasmussen's Grand Canyon School, are as different as any other 11-year-old child could be, but they have one thing in common —all are somewhat separated from their classmates. Sam is a newcomer and has had his share of school trouble before; Kelsey quietly carries her pain at losing her father; Judy's sense of justice always annoys others; Brenton is the smartest child in the school, so smart that even his parents and teachers have trouble keeping up with him.
