I’m sure you have he ard of recent 70-year-old college graduates, or teenagers who are 54 of many useful things or owners of companies. Actually, it can be done; it just 55your attitude.Michael had wanted to run his own business from an early age, but he was 56 a big risk taker. After many years of working for others, he put a business plan together and was about to make the 57, but his friends told him that at 45 he was too 58to start his own construction business. They thought it was a young man’s business while Michael needed a steady income to support his family. Michael was discouraged. 59many of his friends worked in the very field that he was considering starting his business in, he 60 that they knew what was best, so he decided to give up his 61 . But his wife told him that he was foolish to do so. They discussed it and Michael 62 that he’d been using his age as a(n) 63instead of as an advantage.Have you put off a goal 64 age or another limiting factor?

Each passage is followed by several questions or un-finished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)It was the first day of second grade, and Sarah had been looking forward to this moment. The night before, she laid out her favorite clothes: a white coat and a bright yellow shirt.When having breakfast, Sarah dropped some food on her shirt, so she had to change into her second-best clothes, blue jeans and a Jonas Brothers T-shirt.After breakfast Sarah rushed to catch the school bus and when she was just reaching the door the bus driver opened it. The door hit right in Sarah’s face and blood dripped from her nose. The driver wanted to send her home, but she refused, "It is the most important day of the year! I can’t miss it!"Before classes, Sarah went to her favorite swing. When rising high, she saw her best friend little Jack. She let go of the swing and waved to him with one hand. Unfortunately, she flew out of the swing and landed hard on the sand, breaking a leg and an arm. As she lay in the sand, she noticed a shiny thing on the ground beside her. With her good hand she took it.When Sarah’ mother rushed into the ward she was surprised by what she saw: her girl was lying in bed with an arm and a leg in the splint (夹板), a broken nose, andblood stains on her second-best clothes. Expecting to see her child crying, she was confused when she saw a big, bright smile on Sarah’s face."Sarah, look at you!" her mother cried. "You were hurt so badly and why are you smiling?""Look, Mommy, I found a diamond!" Sarah laughed.Life can be like that. It can be tough, even painful sometimes. But there are always treasures that make the pain worth suffering.69. When Sarah went to school, she was wearing ________________.A. a white coat and a Jonas Brothers T-shirtB. blue jeans and a yellow shirtC. a white coat and a yellow shirtD. blue jeans and a Jonas Brothers T-shirt70. Sarah fell off the swing because _____________.A. she seldom played swingB. she rose too highC. she waved one hand to her friendD. she was pulled down by her friend71. When Sarah’s mother saw her in the ward she felt _______________.A. upsetB. puzzledC. relaxedD. disappointed72. Which of the following can be used to describe Sa rah’s story?A. Every cloud has a silver lining.B. Nothing is impossible to a willing mind.C. First think, then act.D. No pains, no gains.(B)How difficult change is depends a lot on your attitude towards it and your resistance to it. Your attitude to change can make the whole transformation process much easier.Imagine change as a pair of shoes and this will help you understand change and how it works. I am sure that you have ever had a comfortable pair of shoes in your life. A pair of shoes is so comfortable that you really don’t want to get rid of them.You know you need a new pair, and may even have them, but you don’t want to wear them because you are comfortable with your current pair. Besides, the new pair may hurt your feet, give you blisters(水疱) or be awkward to wear to start with. So, you resist the new shoes. However, you know that this new pair would be much better for your feet, and after the initial discomfort they would probably be even more comfortable, yet you still resist.Do you know I’m doing this now? I’m wearing my comfortable shoes and they feel good. They have a hole in each heel, and the sole is starting to fall off, but I’m persisting in wearing them.This describes change exactly; change of our habits, change of our thought patterns. We stick with the old patterns because they are comfortable. Yet once weget over the initial pain of the transformation, the new pattern will be comfortable and feel good until the time comes when we need another new pair of shoes.73. Why do people prefer old shoes to new ones?A. They have much emotion in the old ones.B. They are more comfortable.C. New shoes always harm the feet.D. They look better than the new ones.74. According to the passage, we know that people ______.A. don’t realize the benefit of the new shoes very wellB. are positive and open-minded to accept new thingsC. actually know the change will finally be good for themD. don’t accept new patterns because they are not good75. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Once we form a habit, it’s difficult to change it.B. Most people pay more attention to the future life.C. One’s attitude towards something is usually traditional.D. The more often we change, the better our life will be.(C)It seems hard to watch someone yawn and not to yawn ourselves. Even reading about yawning can make you do it. Now, a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force.Yawning when others yawn, the study suggests, is a sign of pity and a form of social connection. Kids don’t develop this deeply rooted behavior until around age four, the study found. Kids with autism (自闭症) are less likely to catch yawns. In the most serious cases, they never do. Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly. The work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people communicate and connect."Emotional infection seems to be a born thing that connects us together," said Molly Helt, a graduate student in psychology at the University of Connecticut. "Yawning may be part of that." Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane. She repeatedly yawned at him, hoping he would yawn back. He never did."The fact that autistic kids don’t do it might mean they’re really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them," she said. "The biggest thing people try to figure out after birth is how we become humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others’,"she added. "Autistic people never seem to understand that."Like infectious laughter and crying, scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that promotes social connection. Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group.76. What does the new study suggest, according to the first two paragraphs?A. It is easy to stop yawning when you see others yawn.B. Yawning has some mysterious force which is related to God.C. Children follow others in yawning just after they are born.D. Yawning is a form of communication.77. According to Molly Helt, _________________.A. emotions are infectious, but yawning is notB. yawning helps clear ears on planesC. humans differ from animals because they communicate with othersD. yawning is a kind of emotional connection among humans78. Which of the following is NOT true about yawning?A. It is natural to yawn back if people around you yawn.B. Some kids are too young to yawn after others.C. Yawning can b e used to test children’s devel opment.D. Kids with autism yawn easily when others yawn.79. The author implies in the last paragraph that ________.A. it is bad manners to yawn on some social occasionsB. yawning can make people feel relaxedC. yawning is different from infectious laughter and crying in theoryD. the more you yawn, the happier you will beSection C(10')Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from80.______Teaching English to adult learners is a challenging thing. But learning how to teach English to be-ginners cou ld be much more challenging especially if you’re teaching abroad. There are special consid erations that you’ll h ave to keep in mind, and a little more patience to spare.81._______When you teach any foreign language to young learners, it means that you are not only going to have to teach the subject as you would in a typical classroom. Because of the age of the learners, you will have to constantly keep them interested. Children have short attention span, so you have to give extra effort to keep their attention to the subject.82.________As much as it is important to teach the language to your learners, it is also important that you know they are willing to learn and that they enjoy your classes. If you make your classes fun and full of activities and other games that promote learning and communication, the actual teaching part will be a piece of cake. Your students will always look for ward to the next lesson, and they’ll look at learning English as a fun experience.83.________If you teach English abroad, the number of things to consider isincreased. For one thing, you will have to use the teaching methods that are accepted by a foreign audience. You will have to learn the culture of the country. Naturally, you will also have to adjust to the life of living abroad.84.________Of course, if you would like to teach English abroad, there might be additional tests and certificates that will be required of you. You may be required to take TOEFL and take up ESL. To be sure of all the requirements, make sure that you discuss all of these during the application process early on.参考答案:。

In addition, it can drink a lot of water at one time; then store enough water in parts of its body to supply its needs for two weeks or more. The kangaroo rat, on the other hand, gets all the water it needs from water that it produces when it __42__. However, most animals need to maintain a __43__ constant body temperature, and will die if it rises more than 5℃. Therefore, they need to find some way to stay away from the heat of the summer sun. Nor can many animals either store or produce water in their bodies, as the camel and kangaroo rat can. So they must find ways to keep their bodies from losing water because of the heat. Because very few desert animals can survive the high temperature of a __44__summer’s day, most of them are __45__only in the night. The desert comes fully to life only after the sun has __46__. The night is relatively cool, and the darkness provides__47__, not only from the sun, but also from other animals and from the birds. So the coming of darkness is the __48__for the large majority of animals and insects to start again their search for water and food. When morning comes, most of them seek shelter again: many go underground; __49__ all find some dark and cool places where they can keep away from the sun’s heat.Ⅲ.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage your have just read.(A)Ralph and Ilene hadn’t been to a baseball game in about five years. They lived only 15 miles from the stadium, but the heavy traffic on game day made those 15 miles seem more like 60 miles. It took themabout an hour to get to the stadium. Then, when the game was over, it took half an hour just to get out of the parking lot. Then the drive home was another hour. In other words, the traveling took longer than the game itself.One day, they decided to go to a game. They drove south on the 110 freeway. The 110 is California’s original freeway, full of twists and turns. Accidents occur daily. California drivers think yellow lights and sharp curves mean the same thing—speed up!The traffic was lighter than they expected. They arrived at the stadium 40 minutes before game time. They paid the $8 parking fee, parked and locked the car, and walked to the main entrance.Several individuals were standing around outside the stadium, looking casual but actually selling tickets secretly. They walked over to a man in a red cap.Ralph’s instincts were correct. The man had tickets for good seats at a fair price. Ralph gave the man $45 and thanked him.“Don’t thank me, my friend. Put your hands behind your back, please. You’re under arrest.”“What?” Ralph was astonished. “What’s going on?”“Buying scalped tickets(黄牛票) is illegal in Los Angeles, and we’ve got a new mayor who wants us to enforce all the laws that bring in money.” said the man. “Don’t worry. We’ll have you back here right after we book you. You can pay the $150 fine with your credit card. Have a nice day. Oh, and enjoy the game!”65.

A police officer.(B)It is generally accepted that every experience teaches the child something and the effects are cumulative. “Upbringing” is normally used to refer to the treatment and training of the child within the home. This is closely related to the treatment and training of the child in school, which is usually distinguished by the term “education”. In a society such as o urs, both parents and teachers are responsible for the opportunities provided for the development of the child, so that upbringing and education are interdependent.The ideals and practices of child rearing vary from culture to culture. In general, the more rural the community, the more uniform are the customs of child upbringing. In more technologically developed societies, the period of childhood and adolescence tends to be extended over a long time, resulting in more opportunity for education and greater variety in character development.Early upbringing in the home is naturally affected both by the cultural pattern of the community and by the parents’ capabilities and their aims and depends not only on upbringing and education but also on the innate(天生的) abilities of the child.Intelligent parents, however, realize that the particular setting of each family is unique, and there can be no rigid general rules.All parents have to solve the problems of freedom and discipline. The younger the child, the more readily the mother gives in to his demands to avoid disappointing him. She knows that if his energies are not given an outlet, her child’s continuing development may be warped(扭曲).A child must be allowed to enjoy this “messy” but tactile (触觉的) stage of discovery before he is ready to go on to the less physical pleasures of toys and books. Similarly, throughout life, each stage depends on the satisfactory completion of the one before.69. The word “cumulative” in Line 2 most probably means .A. decisiveB. progressively greaterC. strongD. extremely beneficial70. It can be seen from the passage that .A. upbringing and education are mutually complementaryB. by no means does the technological factor affect the dev elopment of children’s characterC. there are advisable rules for parents to go by in bringing up their childrenD. the cultural pattern is the single factor that affects a child’s upbringing in the home71. A child’s development might well be badly affected if .A. he were brought up in a happy environmentB. his mother often gave in to his demandsC. his energies were freely given an outletD. he had to follow unusually strict rules.72. As it is presented in the passage, rather than a smooth progression the development of the humancharacter and personality is a series of .A. actsB. completionsC. functionsD. stagesSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The West began to take more notice of the East. The fifth volume of an enormous work re-assessing (再评价) the Chinese contribution to science and technology is to be published next year. The first volume, which was published twenty years ago, set the tone for the whole work. In it, evidence was given to show that many inventions which, until then, western historians had claimed for Europe, were made first in China. The attempt to rewrite the intellectual history of the world was not received without protest by some respectable historians. However, the evidence that has been presented so far in the first four volumes has persuaded many historians who were doubtful at first. China’s invention of paper, printing, the magnetic compass and gunpowder has never been quarreled, but this new history has added advanced bridge design, mechanical clocks, paddle boats and many other inventions to the list.In the four volumes published so far no attempt has been made to explain why China has not kept up with the West in science and technology in modern times. It is probable that the answer is to be found in the social and economic history of China, where an unchanged society under a relatively kind regime(政治制度)of upper classes contrasts with the potentially revolutionary and energetic society of the West at the end of the Middle Ages. In recent years, the Chinese government has been making every effort to catch up with the West again, and there is little doubt that the gap is being reduced year by year. But will China avoid theWest’s mistakes?(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)73. So far, _________________volumes have been published.74.

Believe it or notSection B: 10%Direction: Read The following passages, Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C or D. Choose the one that suits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The city of Rome has passed a new law to prevent cruelty to animals. All goldfish bowls are no longer allowed and dog owners must walk their dogs.This comes after a national law was passed to give prison sentences to people who desert cats or dogs.“The civilization of a city can be measured by this,” said Monica Carina, the councilor behind the new law.The newspaper reported that round bowls don’t give enough oxygen for fish and may make them go blind.“Rome has tried to protect fish more than anywhere else in the world. It stands out for recognizing that fish are interesting animals that deserve over respect and pity every bit as much as dogs and cats and other animals,” said Karin Robertson, a director of the People for the Ethical treatment of Animals.Lat year a law was passed in Italy that gives people who desert pets big finesand prison sentences. Since then local governments have added their own animal protection rules.The northern city of Turin passed a law in April to give pet owners fines of up to $598 if they do not walk their dogs three times a day.The new law in Rome also says that owners mustn’t leave their dogs in hot cars or cut their dogs’tail to make them look lovelier. The law also gives legal recognition to the “cat ladies” who feed homeless cats. The cats live all over the city from ancient ruins to modern office car parks.67. The new law passed in Rome will _________.A. guarantee better conditions for goldfishB. help improve fishing environmentC. stop people from catching goldfishD. discourage keeping goldfish at home68. People in Rome believe that the civilization of a city can be judged by _________.A. exchanges with other citiesB. Protection of ancient ruinsC. recognition of animal loversD. awareness of animal protection69. People may break the law in Turin if they _____________.A. keep their dogs or cats in carsB. shut their dogs home all day longC. raise their cats near ancient ruinsD. feed homeless animals in car parks(B)Be aware of those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression. For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!” This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, or maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was winner. He’s really a big loser! He didn’t say anything that was false, but he omitted important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this tactic. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an advertisement, saying “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!”That’s true. However an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might boast, “Nineout of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples(粉刺).” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.(C)We live in a technological society where most goods are mass-produced by unskilled labor. Because of this, most people think that craft no longer exists.One of the ways these people wrongly support their view is by pointing to100-year-old homes which are still solid, and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability, “Homes in those days were well-built.”they say. No doubt these homes were well-built, but what these people have done is mix up the quality of material used in the house with the quality of the craftsmanship.Homes today could be built to last just as long as those old homes if people were willing or able to pay the price. For example, most people can no longer afford solid oak stairways, although they were once fairly common in older homes. Nor can they afford the high labor cost of employing a carpenter to build the stairway. Yet if someone can pay the high cost, there are still plenty of carpenters around able to make those stairway. And not only would these carpenters know how to build them, they would probably do a better job than carpenters of old.One thing the modern carpenter has which enables him to do a better job is much more advanced tools. Such tools as laser beams and power planes help them lay out a house better and make more precision cuts on the wood. Also, it is not uncommon anymore to find carpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a sold knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs.The problem of modern quality, then, really boils down to the problem of material, for the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty yeas ago, but only if given proper material.Section C 4%Direction:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Apple’s iPhone may be big news, but in Silicon Valley all eyes are on Facebook. The all-age private Internet club that began as a college student hangout has become the technology industry’s hottest ticket.Facebook, which started out offering simple Web profile pages for users to update personal details and link to their friends, has since late May provided an easy way to enhance profiles with growing menu of 1,400 applications from virtual horoscopes to music video players.Membership has exploded to over 29 million active users, up one million users in just the past week and five million from six weeks ago. It’s adding more than 150,000 member a day, up from its pace of 100,000 six weeks ago, Facebook says.Facebook has become the central way many users keep track of Web sites they use every day. More importantly, it’s a way to keep up with what friends are doing, says Chief Technology Officer Adam Angelo, a high school classmate of Zuckerberg.Far bigger rival MySpace has difficulty striking a balance between sharing personal data and not revealing “too much information”. Many Facebook users post their mobile phone numbers, political affiliations or changes in dating status.“Facebook is not open the way the Web is open, Users share all kinds of informationon the site they would never share on the Web,” Angelo, 22, says. “We get usersto reveal more information because we protect users’ privacy.One protest group, called “Facebook Should Be Students ONLY”, with 20,000 members, is magnet from random discontent.“Facebook should most definitely be ONLY students,” Katerina Laurel, 15, of Kansas City, Kansas, writes in Web shorthand. “Our CHOIR teacher has a Face book membership.”Laurel’s solution is to use the site’s privacy controls to exclude the teachers/principals/dens/choir directors in her life. “I can just block them from my site if I don’t want them to see any of my profile.” She says.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)77. What is Facebook?_________________________________________________________________.78. How many active uses have Facebook had till now?_____________________________________________________________________79.

三高级中学15—16学年上学期高一第二次月考英语试题(附答案)
2015—2016学年上学期高中一年级第二次阶段性考试英语试题第一部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分)AOur need to communicate with each other has been a driving force(力量)in the development of technology.In the 20th century we have seen the invention of the radio,television,telephone and fax,and today the Internet has opened up a whole new way of communicating.We now have instant (即刻的)messaging services such as ICQ or China's QQ and chat rooms where people can join group discussions.They mean increasing choices for when,where and how to communicate,and more importantly, with whom.While most people use the Internet to keep in touch with friends and family, a growing number of people use QQ and chat rooms to meet and chat with strangers.Because the Internet allows a certain amount of anonymity, users can be more open making it easier to make new friends.One user said that everyone is equal online,and age and appearance become unimportant.This makes it easier for peopleto communicate with each other.Finding new friends is not the only reason people use chat rooms.The Internet can bring together like-minded (志趣相投的)people who want to discuss their favourite topics.There are chat rooms for certain sports,types of music,styles of art,in fact,just about any interest you can imagine,and many that you can't! Whatever unusual interest you might have, if you search on the Internet,there is a good chance that you will find someone.somewhere in cyberspace,willing to talk to you about it-right now.However, there are problems with going online.It is possible for cyber-criminals to steal information such as credit card details while you are online,and there is always the chance that a new friend is not who he or she claims(声称)to be.One girl was really disappointed when she discovered that her new cyberfriend who wrote poems for her, was actually copying all the poems from magazines.But for all the problems that might come up,instant messaging services and chat rooms are here to stay, putting in touch with friends,family and strangers of similar interests1.People use the Internet to .A.chat to friends and meet family B.meet strangers and write poemsC.chat to friends,family and strangers2.What does anonymity (para.2)mean?A.The state of being unknown.B.The state of being friendly.C.The state of being on Line.3.What types of topics will people discuss on the Internet?A.Sports,types of music,styles of art.B.All kinds of topics.C.Only topics that the Internet allows.4.What is an example of problems with going online?A.Some people may send you poems copied from magazines.B.Your credit card details could be stolen.C.There might be no one to chat with.B“China now has 350 million smokers,accounting for (占)one-third of the world total.Chinese smokers now become addicted to nicotine at the age of 19,five years earlier than the average starting age of 24 in 1 997,”a report said a couple of years ago.Of the 1.1 billion smokers all over the world.more than 800 million are in developing countries.And as the world's largest developing country, China also has the largest number of smokers.Some frightening facts start to appear when we examine who China’s smokers are.Of the 350 million addicts(瘾君子),more than 100 million are under the age of 18,while more than 50 percent of male teachers and doctors are smokers.Such a high rate of addicts among male teachers and doctors will certainly have a bad impact (影响)on the young generation.Teachers are usually expected to be role models for students who tend to consider whatever they do is fight and follow their example.It is very likely that the number of teenage smokers will increase in the near future unless measures are taken to forbid teachers from smoking in front of their students or designate (指定)schools as no-smoking zones.What is truly puzzling is why so many doctors smoke.They are aware of(意识到)theresults of the habit,such as high blood pressure and lung cancer.Their example only helps justify (证明…合理)the addiction of so many others.If educated people set an example by stopping smoking at least in public places.it would be much easier to drive home the notion(观点)that it is uncivilized(不文明的)to smoke in public places.。

The kangaroo rat, on the other hand, gets all the water it needs from water that it produces when it__42__. However, most animals need to maintain a __43__ constant body temperature, and willdie if it rises more than 5 ℃ . Therefore, they need to find some way to stay away from the heat of the summer sun. Nor can many animals either store or produce water in their bodies, as the cameland kangaroo rat can. So they must find ways to keep their bodies from losing water because ofthe heat. Because very few desert animals can survive the high temperature of a __44__ summer’ s day, most of them are __45__only in the night. The desert comes fully to life only after the sun has__46__. The night is relatively cool, and the darkness provides__47__, not only from the sun, but also from other animals and from the birds.

When morning comes, most of them seek shelter again: many go underground; __49__ all find some dark and cool places where they can keep away from the sun’ s heat.Ⅲ .

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Ralph and Ilene hadn’ t been to a baseball game in about five years. livedTheyonly 15 miles from the stadium, but the heavy traffic on game day made those 15 miles seem more like 60 miles. It took them about an hour to get to the stadium. Then, when the game was over, it took half anhour just to get out of the parking lot. Then the drive home was another hour. In other words, thetraveling took longer than the game itself.One day, they decided to go to a game.They drove south on the 110 freeway. The 110 isCalifornia original’s freeway, full of twists and turns. Accidents occur daily . California driversthink yellow lights and sharp curves mean the same thing — speed up!The traffic was lighter than they expected. They arrived at the stadium 40 minutes beforegame time. They paid the $8 parking fee, parked and locked the car, and walked to the main entrance.Several individuals were standing around outside the stadium, looking casual but actually selling tickets secretly. They walked over to a man in a red cap.Ralph ’ instincts were correct. The man had tickets for good seats at a fair price. Ralph gave the man $45 and thanked him.“ Don’ t thank me, my friend. Putoury hands behind your back, please. You’ re under arrest.”“ What? ” Ralph was astonished.“ What’ s going on?”“ Buyingscalped tickets(黄牛票 ) is illegal in Los Angeles, and we’ ve got a new mayor who wants us to enforce all the laws that bring in money. ” saidthe man.“ Don’ t worry. We’ ll have you back here right after we book you. You can pay the $150 fine with your credit card. Have a niceday. Oh, and enjoy the game!”65.Why didn ’tRalph and Ilene go to the baseball game very often?A.Because they were not very interested in baseball.B.Because they lived far away from the stadium.C.Because it was often hard to find a place to park.D.Because it was time-consuming to go there.66.Why did many accidents occur on the 110 freeway according to the passage?A. Because the traffic lights were broken.B. Because traffic was heavy there.C. Because people always drove too fast.D. Because the road conditions were poor.67.By saying “Ralph’s instincts were correct,”the author means that________. A. Ralph was lucky enough to get two tickets right before the game startedB. Ralph identified the right person who offered tickets at reasonable pricesC. Ralph was good at bargaining so that he got the tickets at a fair priceD. Ralph was wise enough to choose the best two tickets from the man68.What is the man in a red cap?A. A ticket dealer.B. Mayor of the city.C. A robber.D. A police officer.(B)It is generally accepted that every experience teaches the child something and the effects are cumulative.“Upbringing”is normally used to refer to the treatment and training of the child within the home. This is closely related to the treatment and training of the child in school, which is usually distinguished by the term “education”. In a society such as ours, both parents and teachers are responsible for the opportunities provided for the development of the child, so that upbringing and education are interdependent.The ideals and practices of child rearing vary from culture to culture. In general, the morerural the community, the more uniform are the customs of child upbringing. In more technologically developed societies, the period of childhood and adolescence tends to be extended over a long time, resulting in more opportunity for education and greater variety in characterdevelopment.Early upbringing in the home is naturally affected both by the cultural pattern of the community and by the parents ’capabilities and their aims and depends not only on upbringing and education but also on the innate( 天生的 ) abilities of the child.Intelligent parents, however, realize that the particular setting of each family is unique, and there can be no rigid general rules.All parents have to solve the problems of freedom and discipline. The younger the child, the more readily the mother gives in to his demands to avoid disappointing him. She knows that if his energies are not given an outlet, her child ’s continuing development may be warped( 扭曲 ).A child must be allowed to enjoy this“messy”but tactile (触觉的) stage of discovery before he is ready to go on to the less physical pleasures of toys and books. Similarly, throughout life, each stage depends on the satisfactory completion of the one before.69. The word “cumulative” in Line 2 most probably means.A. decisiveB. progressively greaterC. strongD. extremely beneficial70. It can be seen from the passage that.A. upbringing and education are mutually complementaryB. by no means does the technological factor affect the development of children ’scharacterC. there are advisable rules for parents to go by in bringing up their childrenD. the cultural pattern is the single factor that affects a child’s upbringing in the home71. A child ’s development might well be badly affected if.A. he were brought up in a happy environmentB. his mother often gave in to his demandsC. his energies were freely given an outletD. he had to follow unusually strict rules.72. As it is presented in the passage, rather than a smooth progression the development of the human character and personality is a series of.A. actsB. completionsC. functionsD. stagesSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully.Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The West began to take more notice of the East. The fifth volume of an enormous work re-assessing (再评价 ) the Chinese contribution to science and technology is to be published next year. The first volume, which was published twenty years ago, set the tone for the whole work. In it, evidence was given to show that many inventions which, until then, western historians had claimed for Europe, were made first in China. The attempt to rewrite the intellectual history of the world was not received without protest by some respectable historians. However, the evidence that has been presented so far in the first four volumes has persuaded many historians who were doubtful at first. China’s invention of paper, printing, the magnetic compass and gunpowder has never been quarreled, but this new history has added advanced bridge design, mechanical clocks, paddle boats and many other inventions to the list.In the four volumes published so far no attempt has been made to explain why China has not kept up with the West in science and technology in modern times. It is probable that the answer is to be found in the social and economic history of China, where an unchanged society under arelatively kind regime(政治制度) of upper classes contrasts with the potentially revolutionary and energetic society of the West at the end of the Middle Ages. In recent years, the Chinese government has been making every effort to catch up with the West again, and there is little doubt that the gap is being reduced year by year. But will China avoid the West ’s mistakes?(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS .)73.So far, _________________volumes have been published.74.When was the first volume published?75.The subject of this five-volume work is _______________________________________.76.According to the passage, what are the probable reasons for China not keeping up with the west?IV .

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路)in life that by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my p arents’ home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hates confinement(限制)and have strong opinions about everything.Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They’d get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons.We eventually arrived at my parents' doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of storiesI grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away andread my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey----and the best part of yourself.66.

Many web sites providing “free trials” service are considered to be secure.(C)The rise of multinational corporations (跨国公司), global marketing, new communications technologies, and shrinking cultural differences have led to an unparalleled increase in global public relations or PR.Surprisingly, since modern PR was largely an American invention, the U.S. leadership in public relations is being threatened by PR efforts in other countries. Ten years ago, for example, the world's top five public relations agencies were American-owned. In 1991, only one was. The British in particular are becoming more sophisticated (老练的)and creative. A recent survey found that more than half of all British companies include PR as part of their corporate planning activities, compared to about one-third of U.S. companies. It may not be long before Londonreplaces New York as the capital of PR.Why is America lagging behind in the global PR race? First, Americans as a whole tend to be fairly provincial and take more of an interest in local affairs. Knowledge of world geography, for example, has never been strong in this country. Secondly, Americans lag behind their European and Asian counterparts (相对应的人) in knowing a second language. Less than 5 percent of Burson-Marshall's U.S. employees know two languages. Ogilvy and Mather has about the same percentage. Conversely, some European firms have half or more of their employees fluent in a second language. Finally, people involved in PR abroad tend to keep a closer eye on international affairs. In the financial PR area, for instance, most Americans read the Wall Street Journal. Overseas, their counterparts read the Journal as well as the Financial Times of London and The Economist, publications not often read in this country.Perhaps the PR industry might take a lesson from Ted Turner of CNN (Cable News Network). Turner recently announced that the word "foreign" would no longer be used on CNN news broadcasts. According to Turner, global communications have made the nations of the world so interdependent that there is no longer any such thing as foreign.74. London could soon replace New York as the center of PR because ________.A. British companies are more ambitious than U.S. companiesB. British companies place more importance on PR than U.S. companiesC. British companies are heavily involved in planning activitiesD. Four of the world's top public relations agencies are British-owned75. The word "provincial" in Para.3 most probably means"________."A. rigid (僵化的) in thinkingB like people from the provincesC. limited in outlookD interested in world financial affairs76. We learn from the third paragraph that employees in the American PR industry ________.A. speak at least one foreign language fluentlyB. are ignorant about world geographyC. enjoy reading a great variety of English business publicationsD. are not as sophisticated as their European counterparts77. What lesson might the PR industry take from Ted Turner of CNN? ______A. American PR companies should be more internationally-minded.B. The American PR industry should develop global communications technologies.C. People working in PR should be more fluent in foreign languages.D. People involved in PR should avoid using the word "foreign".Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.If two scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory are correct, people will still be driving gasoline powered cars 50 years from now, giving out heattrapping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere—and yet that carbon dioxide will not contribute to global warming.In a proposal by two scientists, vehicle emissions (排放) would no longer contribute to global warming. The scientists, F. Jeffrey Martin and William L. Kubic Jr., are proposing a concept, which they have named Green Freedom, for removing carbon dioxide from the air and turning it back into gasoline.The idea is simple. Air would be blown over a liquid solution of potassium carbonate, which would absorb the carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide would then be put to chemical reactions that would turn it into fuel: gasoline or jet fuel.This process could change carbon dioxide from an unwanted, climatechanging pollutant into a vast resource for renewable fuels. The cycle—equal amounts of carbon dioxide produced and removed—would mean that cars, trucks and airplanes using the synthetic (合成的) fuels would no longer be contributing to global warming. Although they have not yet built a synthetic fuel factory, or even a small model, the scientists say it is all based on existing technology. “Everything in the concept has been built, is operating or has a close cousin that is operating.” Dr. Martin said.The Los Alamos proposal does not go against any laws of physics, and other scientists who have independently suggested similar ideas. Dr. Martin said he and Dr. Kubic had worked out their concept in more detail than previous proposals.There is, however, a major fact that explains why no one has built a carbondioxidetogasoline fact ory: it requires a great deal of energy.According to their analysis, their concept, which would cost about $5 billion to build, could produce gasoline at an operating cost of $1.40 a gallon and would turn economically practical when the price at the pump hits $4.60 a gallon.Other scientists said the Los Alamos proposal perhaps looked promising but could not evaluate it fully because the details has not been published.“It's definitely worth pursuing,” said Martin I. Hoffert, a professor of physics at New York University. “It's not that new an idea. It has a couple of pieces to it that are interesting.”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 15 WORDS)78. What is the concept of Green Freedom?79. The value of the scientists' new idea of carbon dioxide is that_______________80. What is the biggest problem in realizing the scientists' concept Green Freedom?81. Dr. Martin said, "Everything in the concept has been built, is operating or hasa close cousin that is operating,"( paragraph 5) he meant that______________________.第II卷I.

Reading Comprehension:18分AI was walking along Orchard Road when I realized a tall young man wearing a jacket and tie was following me. I noticed him because not many people wear jacket and tie in the middle of a hot summer day, and I had already seen this man four times that afternoon.To make sure he was following me, I walked on quickly, turned right into a shopping center and then stopped to look in a shop window. Soon, the man appeared and stopped at another shop window. I walked on and stopped several times. When I stopped, he stopped, too.I began to be rather worried and decided to try to lose this strange man. When I saw a taxi coming, I jumped into it. As I was telling the taxi where to go, I found the man got into another taxi, which then followed mine. As the two taxies slowly made their way along Orchard Road, Ilooked back at the taxi behind, and saw that the stranger was looking out at me.At MRT station, I told the taxi driver to stop and I got out. As I was paying my fare, I saw the man was getting out of his taxi.By now I got angry, so I turned and walked straight to him. I asked him why he was following me. At first he said he was not following me at all, but when I threatened to call the police, he admitted he was.
