AWith the coming of winter, it’s the perfect time to get out of town and escape the seasonal mood disorder. Here are vacation ideas to adopt now.Costa RicaCosta Rica, located in the Valle del General, is an off-the-radar agriculture town that’s not overrun with tourists. The area is known for its coffee, pineapples and sugar cane plantations, as well as its rich forests. What’s more, you can enjoy horseback riding, spend afternoons at the spa or tour a nearby wildlife shelter to look out for colorful birds, sloths and other animals.Los Cabos, MexicoIf you love wine, travel to Los Cabos, a beautiful vacation destination at the southern edge of the Baja Peninsula. During your getaway, you can enjoy special wine tastings and dinner cooked by Los Cabos’s Michelin-starred chef. There are wild-viewing opportunities, too. From December through May, you can spot whales, manta rays and more wildlife.Petit St Vincent, the GrenadinesThis private Caribbean island was spared the anger of hurricanes Irma and Maria. What’s more, the whole island is only 115 acres and has 22 cottages. Each cottage is located in a quiet place, and you can expect to unplug and recharge phones with no wireless connections, television or telephones in the cottage. Even better, you can spend your days admiring fascinating marine(海洋的) life at the Jean-Michel Cousteau Diving Caribbean center.The Exumas, BahamasOn Fowl Cay’s 50-acre private island, you can enjoy a carefree escape. Days can be spent fishing, boating and diving before wandering along white sands. The resort features large one-, two- andthree-bedroom houses. Best of all, if you’re planning a group getaway or multigenerational trip, you rent the entire island for a one-of-a-kind island escape.21. Why does the author recommend these places to readers?A. To escape from extreme weather.B. To experience out-of-town sights.C. To beat winter blues.D. To treat mental diseases.22. What do we know about Petit St Vincent?A. It survived hurricanes Irma and Maria.B. It’s a huge and quiet island.C. People can admire fish off shore.D. People can charge phones using wireless connections.23. Where can Tom best go with his grandparents and parents?A. Los Cabos, MexicoB. Peti St Vincent, the GrenadinesC. Costa RicaD. The Exumas, BahamasBLast year, my mother brought out an old college-ruled notebook: one of the journals in which she has kept a record of all the dinner parties she has hosted since 1976. I have a similar journal. But I am a writer, and she is a chemist. Mine features descriptions and feelings about the dinners I’ve hosted, while hers reads like laboratory notes--- just the meal plan and who was invited.“Salmon mousse(慕斯),” she announced, reading the first entry. “My God, I must have made that a hundred times. Do you remember them?” I did not. But I did remember that salmon mousse.Old friends came and went in her journal. New favorites joined the menu. My husband’s name first shows up in 1997, along with a meal of just hors d’oeuvres because he loved it. My sister-in-law’s name arrived in 2006, and with it, all shellfish disappeared from family menus--- she would get sick after eating it. There is my mother’s partner, Ruth, who appeared in 1991, signaling almost five years of vegetarian(素食主义者) dishes before she gave in to my mother’s ham. And there is my farther, who, despite being her ex-husband, appeared every year after their divorce.While my mother has always written in her journal before a dinner party, I write in mine afterward. In my mother’s books, everything is clear. Hers passes from early motherhood through divorce and the deathsof friends without a break. I see her journals and am envious: By 45, I should practice with old favorites. I should have a salmon mousse.And so I am putting this decision into practice at a dinner party for writer friends. The menu is already written in my book. To start, a favorite of mine has already been cured in the fridge: salmon gravlax. And for this I must apologize to my mother: It is as close as I can get. I love you; I do. But I have always hated that salmon mousse.24.What can we know from Paragraph 3?A. The writer’s husband is a vegetarian.B. The writer’s sister-in-law is allergic to shellfish.C. Ruth didn’t like the ham made by the writer’s mom.D. The writer’s father never came back home since his divorce.25.Which statement may come from the writer’s journal?A.Salmon gravlax for writer friends.B.Thanksgiving, friends coming.C.I am glad lots of writer friends came last night.D.Tom and Lily are coming as well as Mr. Green tonight.26.How can we describe the writer’s mother?A. Considerate and strong-willed.B. Stubborn but organized.C. Outgoing and generous.D. Warm-hearted but insincere.27.Why does the author write this passage?A. To show her love for her mother.B. To put her decision into practice.C. To compare two different journals.D. To express her hate for salmon mousse.COur planet is home to about seven billion people. Since the 1990s, population experts have predicted the number would grow to nine billion before it begins to slow down and possibly decrease.But a new report predicts the world’s population is likely to increase to almost 11 billion by 2100. Based on the most modern statistical tools, the new report makes use of government records and considers expert predictions, including death rates, birthrates and international migration, or people moving acrossborders. The report says during the rest of this century, Africa’ s population will grow from about 3.5 billion to 5.1 billion over the next 82 years.John is director of the United Nations Population Division. He says that in the past，researchers thought population growth in Africa would be similar to that of other areas. They expected slower growth rates as birth control use became more widespread. But he says those ideas were wrong.“The level of contraception use has continued to increase but slowly-- more slowly than expected, and birthrate therefore has been falling less rapidly than expected, and the population therefore continues to grow somewhat more rapidly than we expected.” The new findings are based on a joint research project of the United Nations and the University of Washington.The researchers believe the population of Asia will reach five billion by 2050. That is up from the current 4.4 billion. And then begin to decline. The researchers also believe that North America, Europe，Latin America and the Caribbean area will have a total population of below one billion.John says the pressure of feeding the rising population is likely to be less than that might be expected.“The relatively good news is that the world has been winning the race between population growth and food production. If you look back historically over the last 50 years，certainly for the world as a whole and for many, most individual countries and regions, the increase in food production has outpaced the increase of population.”28.Which area will experience the largest increase in population at the end of the century?.B. Africa.C. Europe.D. North America29.“Contraception use” in the fourth paragraph refers to “__________”.A.a method of expert predictionsB.a way of avoiding growth in populationC.a joint research into the rising populationD.a potential technology for food production30.Why is the pressure of feeding the rising population less than expected according to John?A. Expert predictions are not exactly like what the facts happen.B. Birthrates have always been falling less rapidly than we expected.C. The population grows less rapidly than population experts expected.D. The increase in food production is faster than that of population.31. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The world’s population will increase constantly.B. The population of Asia will rise by 5 billion by 2050.C. John is optimistic about feeding the rising population.D. Population growth in Africa was much slower than expected.DWe all have our own tricks to cheer up when we’re feeling down; these little tricks can make you feel a little bit happier every day. While there are certainly happy memories tied up in the wedding ring you and your spouse（配偶）purchased together years ago or your teddy bear from childhood, new research finds that we typically feel calmer and experience a greater sense of well-being when we focus on a place that reminds us of happier times rather than a thing, even if it holds great value.The report, called Places That Make Us, was conducted by National Trust’s and Surrey University’s researchers. Experts performed functional magnetic resonance imaging （MRI）（磁共振成像）scans on 20 volunteers and conducted an online survey of 2,000 people to better understand this deep draw toward special places.“Working with leading researchers and academics, and using cutting-edge MRI brain technology, we examined how places affect people, how they become special, and why we feel a pull towards them,”explained Nino Strachey, head for the National Trust.The 20 volunteers were shown images of landscapes, houses, and other locations, as well as personally meaningful objects. Measuring their brain activity, the researchers found that it was the places, rather than the objects, that caused the brain to get the most excited.V olunteers were also interviewed at great length two times, once at home and the other time at their special place. The research made discoveries that had never known before —the favorite places awoke feelings of belonging, physical and emotional safety, and an intense internal pull to the place.Dr. Andy Myers weighed in on the research, saying, " For the first time we have been able to prove the physical and emotional benefits of places, far beyond any research that has been done before."32. How was the research conducted?A. By performing MRI on 2,000 volunteers.B. By measuring the participants’ brain by MRI.C. By doing rough interviews with the participants.D. By showing meaningful objects t o the participants.33. How would the author feel about the findings of the study?A. It is pioneering.B. It is groundless.C. It is imperfect.D. It is uncommon.34. What does the underlined phrase " weighed in on" mean?A. Think highly of.B. Look down on.C. Pay attention to.D. Make fun of.35. What does the text mainly talk about?A. Everyone has his way to be happy.B. Valuable places can make people happy.C. Teddy bears are best memories for children.D. Meaningful objects lead to greater well-being.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。

AHungary's capital sparkles(闪耀) in winter and it's a great place to see in the New Year. There's festive cheer on tap, with concerts, folk dancing and stalls selling wine or fruit brandy and traditional chimney cake outsides. New Year's Eve is celebrated with fireworks over the Danube(多瑙河), and it's worth booking one of the many river cruises(巡游) with dinner and DJs(free and open 24/7, but likely to be crowded).A four-night trip with Travel Republic costs ￡449 for a family(2 adults with 1 child under 6), departingStansted on 28 December with Ryanair, withB & B accommodation at the central Atrium Budapest Hotel.For a slightly more cerebral(理智的) New Year's Eve, Stockholm is a smart choice. The main celebration is atSkansen, Sweden's oldest open-air museum. Entertainment starts at 8 p．m. with singing and dancing, and peaks with a recitation of the poem Ring Out. Evening tickets are ￡14 for adults(children under 6 go free), or there are new day and evening combination tickets(￡16 adult/￡5 child). On New Year's Day, early birds can try an introduction to ice skating(8 a．m. daily, ￡139).Book it Ryanair, Norwegian and SAS fly to Stockholm from several UK airports.The land of fire and ice lives up to its name on New Year's Eve, when about 90 bonfires(篝火) are lit across the country. Some bonfires are accompanied by Icelandic singing; most start about 8 p．m. and finish by 10 p．m., which can be a good time to see the northern lights. After the fires, everyone goes home to watch Áramótaskaup, a TV show that has been running on 31 December since 1966. But that doesn't mean the party is over-just before midnight, they all come back out to let off an astonishing amount of fireworks, with profits going to Icelandic Search and Rescue Association, which does life-saving work, and is run by volunteers and is a cause close to most Icelanders' hearts.Book it Wow Air and Wizz Air, easyJet and Icelandair fly to Reykjavik from several UK cities.()56. According to the passage, when travelling to one of the three cities on New Year's Eve, you can ________.A. have a free but maybe uncomfortable cruise along the DanubeB. go ice skating with your close friends in StockholmC. light the bonfires in Iceland and join in Icelandic singingD. watch ÁAramótaskaup and be a volunteer to let off fireworks()57. If an English couple with a child aged 5 want to celebrate the new year by enjoying poems, how much will they pay at least？A. ￡14.B. ￡21.C. ￡28.D. ￡37.B“The world feels anxious and divided, and Facebook has a lot of work to do—whether it's protecting our community from abuse and hate, defending against interference by nation states, or making sure that time spent on Facebook is well spent，”Zuckerberg wrote on Facebook in January.If the tech firm succeeded, Facebook would end 2018 on a much better path. But the cracks in Zuckerberg's social media empire only grew as scandals(丑闻) about data misuse, security and even Facebook's leadership piled up.The social network has faced criticism many times since launching 14 years ago, but the public uproar reached new heights in 2018. Facebook's missteps, even as it tried to fix its problems, were yet another reminder of what happens when a company grows rapidly with little oversight(监管). They also set the stage for another showdown between the tech powerhouse and lawmakers who have their own ideas on how to manage a platform used by 2.3 billion people every month.“I think there's just a general growing consensus from both parties in Congress that self-policing is not going to work，”Democratic senator Mark Warner of Virginia said in an interview. Facebook pointed to a series of notes Zuckerberg published this year outlining what the tech firm has done to combat(战斗，争论) election meddling(好干预的), as well as hate speech, misinformation and other offensive content. The socialhis feeling. Somehow, by burning tin in his body for so long, he had permanently strengthened his senses to a point far beyond what other Allomancers could attain. The burned tin had begun as a reaction to Clubs's death. Spook still felt terrible about the way he'd escaped, leaving his uncle to die. During those first few weeks, Spook had burned his metals as almost a self-punishment—he'd wanted to feel everything around him, take it all in, even though it was painful, or perhaps because it was painful.But then he'd started to change, and that had worried him. But, the crew always talked about how hard Vin pushed herself. She rarely slept, using pewter(白) to keep herself awake and alert. Spook didn't know how that worked－he was no Mistborn, and could only burn one metal－but he figured that if burning his one metal could give him an advantage, he'd better take it, because they were going to need every advantage they could get.The starlight was like daylight to him. During the actual day, he had to wear a cloth tied across his eyes to protect them, and even then going outside was sometimes blinding. His skin had become so sensitive that each little stone in the ground felt like a knife jabbing(猛刺) him through the bottom of his feet. The cold spring air seemed freezing, and he wore a thick cloak(斗篷).However, he had concluded that these discomforts were small prices to pay for the opportunity to become—whatever it was he had become. As he moved down the street, he could hear people turning over and over in their beds, even through their walls. He could sense a footstep from yards away. He could see on a dark night as no other human ever had.__①__. Always before, he'd been the least important member of the crew—the dismissible boy who served as a handy man or kept watch while the others made plans. He didn't feel annoyed with them for that－they'd been right to give him such simple duties. __②__. Because of his street dialect, he'd been difficult to understand, and while all the other members of the crew had been carefully picked, Spook had joined through the back door since he was Clubs's nephew.Spook sighed, sticking his hands in his trouser pockets as he walked down the too-bright street. He could feel each and every thread of the cloth.Dangerous things were happening, he knew that：the way the mists lasted longer during the day, the way the ground shook as if it were a sleeping man, periodically(周期性地) suffering a terrible dream. Spook worried he wouldn't be of much help in the critical days to come. A little over a year before, his uncle had died after Spook fled the city. Spook had run out of fear, but also out of a knowledge of his lack of power. __③__. He wouldn't have been able to help during the campaign.He didn't want to be in that position again. He wanted to be able to help, somehow. He wouldn't run into the woods, hiding while the world ended around him. He was sent to gather as much information as he could about the Citizen and his government there, and so Spook intended to do his best. If that meant pushing his body beyond what was safe, so be it.He approached a large crossing. He looked both ways down the intersecting(交叉的) streets—the view clear as day to his eyes. I may not be Mistborn, and I may not be emperor, he thought. But I'm something. Something ne w. Something people w ould beCurrentAmerican'sresponsesA negative attitudeUnable to grasp the seriousness of thethreat, many Americans are in(75)________ of President Trump'sdecision to withdraw from the Paris treaty.(76)________for responses•Elected officials turn a deaf ear to thethreat on account of their (77)________relationship with fossil fuel companies. • A certain amount of despair has resultedin widespread apathy.•Many Americans are wildly(78)________ about their ability to achanged environment.Earlier American'sresponsesA(n) (79)________attitudeWisely assigning his vice president toparticipate in the Kyoto Protocolnegotiations, President Bill Clinton tookclimate change seriously.Inspiration from responsesThe Democratic Party used to takeadequate notice of the potential crisis ofthe climate change.(80)________It is high time for Americans to begin thelong-overdue campaign to save the planet. 第五部分：书面表达(满分25分)请认真阅读下面的图文信息，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

2019年江苏省高考英语模拟试题第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AAustralians really know how to have a good time. Any type of hobby that you can think of can be found in Australia. The following are four top Australian pastimes.FishingFishing is probably one of the most popular free-time activities in Australia and many people love spending their free time waiting at the end of a rod for a fish to bite on their line. There is free public access to almost all beaches，canals and coasts，which means there are plenty of great places to fish.SurfingAnother popular pastime of the Australians is surfing. Australia has a lot of beautiful surf spots，especially in Queensland. Queensland has some of the best surf beaches in the country such as Noosa Heads，Stradbroke Island，and Burleigh Heads，with the Gold Coast being the best known.BoatingWhat else does an Australian do for fun on the weekend？Theymight go for a ride on their boat！Plenty of Australians live on the coast and are boat owners. Boat owners might take their craft out to go fishing，or they might just want to sail around the waters slowly.BarbecuesAustralians will also typically host barbecues with their friends and family. They really know how to barbecue. The standard of meat that is cooked and the quality of the cooking is second to none. With New Zealand being so close，the lamb is fresh and absolutely remarkable. But the lamb is not all that is cooked. Any one barbecue in Australia can expect upwards of 7 types of meat，from shrimps （?r）to kangaroos.21. Which of the following surf spots is the most famous in Queensland？A. Noosa Heads.B. the Gold Coast.C. Burleigh Heads.D. Stradbroke Island.22. What can we infer from the last paragraph？A. Tourists can hire boats to go for a ride.B. Tourists prefer fishing to other pastimes.C. The lamb is imported from New Zealand.D. People in New Zealand have better cooking skills.23. What are most of the four top Australian pastimes related to？A. Water.B. Sightseeing.C. Food.D. Deserts.BIt’s a rainy，cold winter afternoon. The boys are playing in their rooms，so it’s the perfect time to do some baking，just enjoying thepeaceful moment as I knead（揉）bread dough（生面团）. Suddenly，there is the sound of shouting，tears，a door slam，followed one of them calling，“Mom！He hurt me！”and footsteps running up the stairs. I sigh. My younger son is standing in front of me in tears. I go to hug him as my elder son comes up too，ready to defend his position. All hope of some quiet time has disappeared，but I just don’t feel like playing judge today.“So，who wants to help me bake some bread？”I ask brightly，ignoring their angry looks at not being able to tell me their tales of bitterness. No takers.“Bread is boring，”Tristan finally admits.“Okay，what would you like to make？”I ask.“Chocolate！”Sawyer yells，breaking free of my embrace.“Chocolate chip cookies！”Tristan agrees happily.As I watch Sawyer practice breaking eggs and Tristan reading on his own and patiently instructing his brother on how to measure brown sugar and see their excitement as they use the mixer to grind oats，I know there’s nothing else I’d rather be doing.The kitchen is a disaster. There is egg juice on the counter，flour on the floor，and a mountain of dishes to clean up. But peering through the mess are two happy faces―covered in chocolate，of course，but，smiling ear to ear---and the mess，and their previous fight，is forgotten.As we close the curtains，we sit together on the sofa，and dig into the big plate of cookies，fresh from the oven，baked with love and more than a dash of silliness.24. Why did the writer sigh？A. Her two sons fought again.B. She couldn’t do any baking.C. She had to play with naughty sons.D. Rain ruined a good winter afternoon.25. Why do the writer’s two sons look angry？A. They have to do some houseworkB. They can’t play referee todayC. They have no chance to complainD. They consider themselves treated unfairly26. While baking chocolate，the two boys ______.A. asked the writer to go for a restB. got along well with each otherC. did everything as the writer askedD. planned everything carefully in advance27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text？A. Everything Is a DisasterB. Baking Is TerribleC. Sons Can CookD. Chocolate Cookies End a FightCWhat is the most common cause for people in the UK to ask for leave due to illness？The answer is not the common cold or flu，but back pain. Back pain affects one in three British adults，costs the country over 5 billion pounds every year and is very difficult to treat. Butnow Britain's National Health Service（NHS）will be offering a new solution：acupuncture. The ancient Chinese needle treatment has been around in the UK for many years，but this is the first time it has been officially approved by the NHS. Traditionally，doctors in the UK have advised back pain sufferers to stay active，do stretching exercises and take painkillers when necessary. In more serious cases some people are given X-ray treatment or injections with medicines.However，there is evidence that acupuncture may be more effective than expensive X-rays or injections，so patients who have been suffering for over six weeks should be given a choice. As an alternative to acupuncture，patients will be able to choose either a course of spinal manipulation（脊柱推拿），or a series of special exercise sessions. In the UK，acupuncture is regarded as an aiding treatment，which means medical procedure hasn’t experienced serious experiments by which scientists prove some treatments work. While many experts have welcomed the policy to make acupuncture available on the NHS，some are still skeptical about its effectiveness.Research from the US earlier this month found that similar acupuncture using toothpicks（牙签）which do not stick into the skin could be as good as using real needles. So while some are yet to be convinced，back pain sufferers will be hoping that acupuncture helps get them feeling healthy again.28. According to the passage，which is the best way to treat back pain？A. To stay active.B. To be acupunctured.C. To do stretching exercisesD. To take X-ray treatment or injections.29. Why are some people still doubtful about the effectiveness of acupuncture？A. Because they have other choices.B. Because acupuncture is just an aiding treatment.C. Because using toothpicks is as good as using real needles.D. Because acupuncture hasn’t been tested by scientists strictly.30. What does the author want to prove in the last paragraph？A. Acupuncture can be an effective treatment for back pain.B. Toothpicks is a useful tool for acupuncture.C. Needles are no better than toothpicks.D. Toothpicks will take place of needles in the future.31. What does the passage mainly talk about？A. The magic needles.B. Acupuncture in the UK.C. The ways to treat back pain.D. The reasons for people to ask for leave.DYoung children often“read”picture books. They’re attracted by the colorful scenery and the realistic characters that contribute to fascinating plots.Unfortunately，some children can’t use these resources，even ifthey do know how to read. Take three-year old Elodie Bateson，for example. Elodie was born with under-developed eyes and has retinal detachments（?网膜脱落），making her visually impaired. It is because of people like Elodie that Tom Yeh，head of the Tactile Picture Books Project，has started printing 3D books，so they can feel the illustrations in picture books.The first book Tom Yeh printed was Goodnight Moon，a popular children’s book about a rabbit going to sleep and wishing good night to his surroundings. In the 3D version of this book，children can feel each thing that the rabbit says good night to，whether it is a cow jumping over the moon，a balloon，or a dollhouse.Generally，when children grow older，they read by using Braille，a language that was invented by Louis Braille in 1824. It uses different patterns of raised dots representing different letters. Readers can then feel the dots and mentally translate the patterns they feel into words. The only problem is that many blind children do not start learning Braille until they are about six years old.Another reason why 3D printed books are such a valuable resource is that children don’t have to know how to read to understand them. However，without these，visually impaired kids are losing six developmental years vital to their growth since they can’t take advantage of picture books.When 3D picture books are printed，plastic is layered（分层放置）repeatedly over a single shape：the shape of the illustration. These raised pictures created through layered plastic serve as substitutes for the Brailleletters that little children have no knowledge of.32. What does the underlined word“impaired”in paragraph 2 mean？A. Unmatched.B. Disappeared.C. Defeated.D. Damaged.33. What can we know about Braille from Paragraph 5？A. The blind at any age can read by using Braille.B. Most people can translate Braille into words.C. Blind kids begin learning Braille at about six years old.D. Braille uses similar patterns of raised dots to stand for different letters.34. We can know that the illustrations in 3D books are raised______.A. dotsB. picturesC. lettersD. plastic35. What is the aim of the Tactile Picture Books Project？A. To teach the blind children Braille.B. To encourage kids to read books.C. To cure visually impaired children.D. To help the blind children read picture books.第二? （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Nothing.BI made a decision on the way down to the vacation beach cottage to meet my family. For two weeks, I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was reading a Biblical about husbands’ being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to say that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that 教习网（）找同步教案、找试卷、找练习题、找答案就上教习网would change.And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Mary at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”“Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little confused(困惑). After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Mary suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Mary’s been here with the kid all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.So it went. Two weeks of not calling the company where I am a manager, and a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that is how the whole vacation passed. I made a new decision to keep on remembering to choose love.There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Mary and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Mary looked at me with the saddest expression.“What’s the matter?” I asked her.“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with sadness, “Do you know something I don’t …”“What do you mean? ”“Well…that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me…am I’m dying?”It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I couldn’t help laughing.“No, honey,” I said, holding her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”36. In the first paragraph, “No ifs, ands or buts” probably mean ____________.A. probablyB. completelyC. impossiblyD. unimportantly37. From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage ____________.A. aloneB. with his familyC. with MaryD. with his children38. During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because _____.A. the doctor told him Mary was seriously illB. she looked beautiful in her new clothesC. he made up his mind to be a good husbandD. he made a lot of money as a manager39. What made Tom change his mind to be with his family more?A. His wife’s illness.B. His vacation to the beach.C. A talk on his car radio.D. His achievement from his job.40. By saying “I am just starting to live,” Tom means that ____________.A. he is beginning to feel sorry for what he did to his wife beforeB. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to changeC. he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of lifeD. he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husbandCHow to protect children Web fans from unsuitable materials on-line while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the U.S.教习网（）找同步教案、找试卷、找练习题、找答案就上教习网For some parents, the Internet can seem like a jungle, filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain(包含) wonders as well as danger and with good guides, some education, and a few precautions(预防措施), the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated(领航). “Kids have to be on-line. If we tell our kids they can’t have chance to the Internet, we’re cutting them off from their future.” said an expert.Most kids have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding plenty of interesting Internet sites, and they can also find places where you might not want your kids to go. There are some search engines designed just for kids. A certain software contains only sites that have been chosen as safe. The most popular way to limit chance would be to use a “content screener(过滤器)”, but this can’t be wholly depended on, and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet.Four other tips:●Don’t put the PC in a child’s room but keep it in an area where mum or dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.●Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make on-line.●Tell your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.●And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.41. The passage is mainly about the subject of ___________ .A. being against children’s on-lineB. Internet in AmericaC. enjoying InternetD. American children going on-line42.The underlined word “jungle” properly means__________ in Chinese.A.泥潭B.旋涡C.丛林D.飓风43. The best way to protect children from improper materials is _________ .A. to buy some search engines for the childrenB. to be nearby when they are surfing the InternetC. to educate the children and encourage them to tell right from wrongD. to fix a content screener on the computer44. Which of the following is right according to the passage?A. Surfing the Internet is the best method of educating children.B. Children’s not having chance to the Internet may have an influence on their future.C. Content screeners can be wholly depended on to make children surf online safely.D. All searching engines can help children to choose materials fit for them.45. According to the passage, we can infer that _________ .A.
