第一周周练习阅读+完形061.阅读理解I owe my father a huge thank you! Sure, I need to thank him for all those years of paying my bills, fixing my bikes, and providing a shoulder to cry on. But this year I realized that his contributions to my childhood were much more than that.I grew up as Daddy's Little Girl. If I had a problem that needed fixing or a question that needed answering, he was the one I ran to. He helped me get through everything from math homework as a high school student to career choices as a young adult. He always expected that I do my best in whatever I did, and he believed I could succeed in anything I put my mind to. As a result, I learned to hold myself to those same standards. He always showed me unconditional love, which helped me learn to love myself. It was something I'd taken for granted until I realized from talking with my friends that they had no similar view of their self worth. Having fathers that didn't believe in them left them to grow up not believing in themselves.As I was growing up, my father also modeled how a woman should be lavished. He treated my mom with love and respect. As a result, I grew to expect nothing less than that from the men I dated and from the man I would eventually marry. Dad was a living picture of godliness (虔诚) , honesty and responsibility. It was only recently that I realized what a deep effect fathers have on their daughters' lives. That is why I want to thank my dad for the godly example of love that he has been to me throughout my life.（1）From the second paragraph，the author thinks it is the most valuable that .A.her father was very strict with her.B.her father helped her a lot in every way.C.nothing was difficult if her father was on her side.D.Father's trust deeply influenced her self-confidence.（2）What does the underlined word "lavished" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Loved.B.Respected.C.Treated.D.Spoiled.（3）Who would the author turn to when in trouble?A.Her friends.B.Her mother.C.Her husband.D.Her father.（4）The feeling the author wants to express to her father in this text is .A.gratefulB.sadC.proudD.pitiful【答案】（1）D（2）C（3）D（4）A【解析】当然，我需要感谢他这么多年来为我支付账单，为我修理自行车，为我提供一个可以依靠的肩膀。

The wife-carrying competition in Finland falls into the latter category.Strange as it might sound, wife-carrying is a real sport in Finland. In fact, it is a highly competitive sport in which male competitors race while each carrying a female teammate. The objective is for the male to carry the female through a special obstacle track in the fastest time. The length of the official track is 253.5 metres with two dry obstacles （障碍）and a water obstacle about one metre deep.The first modern-day wife-carrying event was held in Finland in 1992 and foreign competitors gained admission in 1995. This event is now held annually in Sonkajarvi, Finland as the World Championship.Although many might consider the sport a joke, competitors take it very seriously. Like every serious sport, the wife-carrying competition also has its guidelines which are set by the International Wife-Carrying Competition Rules Committee. While the International rules are the basis for all competitions, rules and prizes do vary for each competition.It is not mandatory that you must be legally married to the "wifb" to be carried, she may even be your neighbour's wife or even someone you met during the competition; she must, however, be over 17 years of age. And her minimum weight must be 49 kilograms; otherwise, she will be burdened with a rucksack containing additional weight to bring the total load to be carried up to 49 kg. All participants must enjoy themselves. Yes, that is also one of the rules.Special prizes go to the most entertaining couple, the best costume, and the strongest carrier. And for the grand prize, the wife's weight in beer goes to the couple who completes the course in the shortest time. Whether you win or lose, the good thing is the sport encourages team spirit among couples.41.Which can't be used to describe the wife-carrying competition?A.Fearful.B. Astonishing.C. Competitive.D. Serious.42.What is true about the competition?A.The first event was in 1992.B.The rules are flexible for each competition.C.The official track is 253.5 metres long and 1 metre deep.D.By no means can wives weighing less than 49 kg participate in it.43.What does the underlined word "mandatory" in paragraph 5 mean?A.Important.B. Necessary.C. Strange.D. Possible.BA new study suggests that identical（同的）twins are not exactly the same genetically. Scientists in Iceland examined DNA from 387 pairs of identical twins, their parents, children, husbands or wives. The examinations led the team to find “ear ly mutations that separate identical twins," lead researcher and geneticist Kari Stefansson said.Mutations are small changes in DNA that can happen when a cell divides in an attempt to copy itself. These small changes can influence a person5s physical appearance or control a person's ability to fight a disease.The newly-discovered mutations show that identical twins do have genetic differences. On average, identical twins have 5.2 of these early genetic differences, the researchers found. These differences represent a small part of each twin's genetic material. But they could influence why one twin is taller or why one is at greater risk for some cancers than the other.In the past, many researchers believed physical differences seen in identical twins were related mostly to environmental influences, such as nutrition or lifestyle behaviors.Jan Dumanski is a geneticist at Sweden's Uppsala University. He was not involved in the study. He praised the findings as "a clear and important contribution,, to medical research. C4The implication is that we have to be very careful when we are using twins as a model" for examining the influences of genetics or the environment, Dumanski said.A 2008 paper in The American Journal of Human Genetics found some genetic differences between identical twins. The new study, however, goes beyond earlier work by including the DNA of parents, children, husbands and wives of identical twins. Studying family members permitted the researchers to examine when genetic mutations happened in two different kinds of cells: those present in only one individual and those passed on to the person's children.Stefansson said his team found twins where a mutation is present in all cells of the body of one twin, but not in the other twin at all. However, "sometimes the second twin may show the mutation in some cells, but not all cells,9, he added.44.What is a function of mutations?A.Change people's DNA.B.Help a cell to copy itself.C.Influence people's physical appearance.D.Increase people's ability to fight diseases.45.Why did the study include the DNA of family members?A.To check when the mutations happened.B.To identify the results of former research.C.To find out where the mutations happened.D.To examine the influence of the environment.46.What is Jan Dumanski's attitude toward the study?A.Cautious.B. Doubtful.C. Concerned.D. Positive.47.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. A Breakthrough in Identical Twins StudyB.Identical Twins: Not Genetically Exact CopiesC.Genetic Differences Caused by Family MembersD.DNA Decides the Difference between Identical TwinsCI started to worry when the golf car taking me, Steve, and our suitcases stopped in the middle of the Maine forest. A yurt is a tent tall enough to stand in and wide enough to fit a big family. But I didn't see it anywhere.“You hike from here "said the driver, pointing down a weedy path. The woods were darkening and Steve encouraged me to pick up the pace. My summer sandals（凉鞋）slipped on the damp leaves. Steve and I spent a good hour until we spotted the light of white canvas—the yurt.Steve skillfully lit a fire. We ate some sandwiches, had a few beers, and settled in for a good nights sleep. But I couldn't relax I shook Steve awake. The door to the yurt doesn't lock,n I said. " What if a bear wanders Into the camp"Don't worry Moose(驼鹿)are a bigger problem here than bears, "he said."Well, what if someone decides to rob us?

We could enjoy our weekend.When "we checked out" three mornings later, I was the first one up. That s when I realized that the door opened out. The chair had been serving no purpose other than to keep me quiet.So, n I said, as we walked heavily back to meet the golf car.

The golf car sent us directly to the yurt49.Why did Steve put a chair under the door handle?A. To make it safer to sleep insideB. To stop me from worryingC. To protect them from locals.D.

第一周周练习阅读+完形121.阅读理解More than a third of Americans don't get enough sleep. That may not seem like a big deal, but being short of sleep—even by just an hour—can have serious effects on your health, and the economy.Every year, not getting enough sleep costs the U.S. economy up to $ 411 billion, according to a new report from the not-for-profit research group RAND Europe.The researchers wanted to look at how shortened sleep—which means getting a sleep of less than 7 hours a night—affects the economy of five different countries: the U.S., the UK, Germany, Japan and Canada. With survey results from the National Sleep Foundation, they found three effects: death, since lack (缺乏) of sleep has been connected to about half of the leading causes of death in the U.S.; low productivity (生产力), since sleepy workers are less productive and more likely not to show up; and poor development skills, which affect lifetime earnings."How would those countries look if the number of people who sleep less than a certain amount of time actually improved?" wondered Marco Hafner, a research leader at RAND Europe and the report's main author.The U.S. loses the most from its sleepy people. The researchers said that workers with shortened sleep cost the country's economy about $ 411 billion a year, about 2% of the GDP. Japan was the second most affected, losing about the same of its GDP followed by Germany and the UK. Canada had the best sleepers, but still lost 1.4% of its GDP to lack of sleep. The study authors also found marked health effects from lack of sleep. Sleeping about six hours a night is connected to a 7% higher risk of death, and sleeping less than six hours is connected to a 13% higher risk. "It's not a small problem," Hafner says. "It seems to be not only a public health problem, but also an economic problem."（1）How much does lack of sleep probably cost the America economy every month on average?A.More than $ 411 billion.B.Less than $ 411 thousand.C.About $ 35 thousand.D.About $ 35 billion.（2）What effect is mentioned when workers are short of sleep according to Paragraph 3?A.It may affect the health of the workers.B.It may affect the creativity of the workers.C.it may affect the education of the workers.D.It may affect the communication skills of the workers.（3）What can we know from Paragraph 5?A.The UK loses the least in economy.B.Japan loses the most because of its sleepy people.ck of sleep has become an important economic problem.ck of sleep in workers has not produced noticeable effects.（4）Where can we find this text most probably?A.In a dictionary.B.in an economic magazine.C.In a guidebook.D.In a storybook.【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）C（4）B【解析】本超过三分之一的美国人睡眠不足。

第一部分阅读理解（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，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
AIt’s rare that you see the words “shyness” and “letter” in the same sentence.After all,the common viewpoint is that those outgoing and sociable guys make great public speakers and excellent networkers and that those shy people are not.A survey conducted by USA Today referred to 65 percent of executives who believed shyness to be a barrier to leadership.Interestingly,the same article stresses that roughly 40 percent of leaders actually are quite shy—they're just better at adapting themselves to situational demands.Bill Gates,Warren Buffet and Charles Schwab are just a few "innies".Unlike their outgoing counterparts who are more sensitive to rewards and risk-taking,shy people take a cautious approach to chance.Rather than the flashy chit-chat that defines social gathering,shy people listen attentively to what others say and absorb it before they speak.They're not thinking about what to say while the other person is still talking,but rather listening so they can learn what to say.Along the same lines,shy people share a common love of learning.They are intrinsically（内在地）motivated and therefore seek content regardless of achieving an outside standard.Being shy can also bring other benefits.Remember being in school and hearing the same kids contribute,until shy little Johnny,who almost never said a word,cut in?Then what happened? Everyone turned around to look with great respect at little Johnny actually talking.This is how shy people made good use of their power of presence: they "own" the moment by speaking calmly and purposefully,which translate to a positive image.Shyness is often related to modesty.Not to say that limelight-seekers aren't modest,but shy people tend to have an accurate sense of their abilities and achievements.As a result,they are able to acknowledge mistakes,imperfections, knowledge gaps and limitations.Since shy people have a lower sensitivity to outside rewards than outgoing ones,they're more comfortable working with little information and sticking to their inner desires.Shy people are alsomore likely to insist on finding solutions that aren't primarily apparent.Don't believe me?Maybesuccessful person.The myth that shy people are less effective leaders than their outgoing fellows is just a misunderstanding.Make wise use of your personality strengths to lead your business no matter what side of the range you fall on.1.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that_______.A.shy people are sensitive to rewardsB.shy people care more about contentC.outgoing people are more careful about chancesD.outgoing people consider what to learn while listening2.The example of Johnny shows______.A.shy people are likely to be modestB.hardworking students speak little in publicC.some students keep silent on purpose at schoolD.shy people may have an advantage in discussion3.We can learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 that______.A.shyness results in successB.shyness contributes to popularityC.outside reward leads to insistenceD.uncertainty counts more than certainty4.The author supports his ideas mainly by______.A.giving definitions and presenting research resultsB.explaining problems and providing solutionsC.quoting authorities and making evaluationsD.making contrasts and gibing examplesB“Can’t hold a candle to”is a popular expression.When there wasn’t electricity,someone would have a servant light his way by holding a candle.The expression meant that the person who cannot hold a candle to you is not fit even to be your servant.Now,it means such a person cannot compare or compete.Another expression is “hold your tongue.”It means to be still and not talk.“H old your tongue”is not something you would tell a friend.But a parent or teacher might use the expression to quiet a noisy child.“Hold out”is an expression one hears often in sports reports and labor news.It means to refuse to play or work. Professional football and baseball players “hold out” if their team refuses to pay them what they think they are worth.The expression “hold up” has several different meanings.One is a robbery.A man with a gun may say,“This is a hold up.Give me your money.”Another meaning is to delay.A driver who was held up by heavy traffic might be late for work.Another meaning is for a story to be considered true after an investigation.A story can hold up if it is proved true.“Hold on”is another expression,which means wait or stop.As you leave for school,your brother may say,“Hold on,you forgot your book.” It is used to ask a telephone caller to wait and not hang up his telephone.Our final expression is “hold the line.”That means to keep a problem or situation from getting worse—to hold steady.For example,the president may say he will “hold the line on taxes.”He means there will be no increase in taxes.5.The expression “can’t hold a candle to” can be used when _______.A.some footballers refuse to play a gameB.someone else is wanted on the phoneC.someone is not qualified for a positionD.someone was delayed by heavy traffic6.The tune of the phrase “hold your tongue” is probably a little_______.A.amusingB.politeC.unfriendlyD.offensive7.If some teachers “hold out”,they probably______.A.change their attitudeB.refuse to workC.make a compromiseD.show their devotion8.Which of the following sentences can convey positive meanings?A.I was late as I was held up by a hold up.B.Hold on!You have to pay the bill,sir.C.You can’t even hold a candle to Michael.D.I promise to hold the line on house prices.CHow can we reduce the risk?There are four general approaches to dealing with volcanic（火山似的）dangers.We can try to keep the danger from occurring—often an impossible task.We can try to change its path or reduce its impact on existing development. We can take steps to protect future development.We can also do our best to have disaster response plans in place before they are needed.Removing the ThreatClearly,there is no way to stop an eruption.We can,however,attempt to reduce the eruption’s effects by strengthening structures,for example,building protective works such as walls to make lava（熔岩）flow away from developed areas.Such efforts can be and have been successful,but are of limited use in a large-scale（范围）eruption.Planning for the FutureProtecting future development from volcanic dangers is a simple task.Before building houses,we should judge the risk.If the risk seems too great,a safer location should be found.This type of planning is very effective,but all too often,people are drawn to the lush（葱郁的）,rolling land of a quiet volcano.Disaster Preparedness（预案）When a volcano comes to life,a few weeks may not be enough to avoid a tragedy.Planning is the key to saving lives.Well before the warning signs occur,people must be educated about volcanic dangers.Escape plans must be in munication between scientists,officials,the media,and the general public should be practiced.Emergency measures must be thought out and agreed upon.If you doubt the importance of these efforts,take another look at past volcanic tragedies,such as the eruption of Nevado del munication failures left the town of Armero unprepared for escape.When a deadly mudflow came down the slope（斜坡）,21,000 people—90 percent of the town’s people—died.9.The passage is intended for_______.A.the general publicB.architectsC.adventurersD.geographers10.When building houses,people tend to______.A.judge volcanic dangers carefullyB.take volcanic dangers seriouslyC.live near a quiet volcanoD.find a safer place far away from a volcano11.The writer mentioned Nevado del Ruiz to prove______.A.the failure to keep volcanic dangers from happeningB.the importance of preparing for a volcanic eruptionC.the bravery of the people in Armero TownD.the uncertainty of volcano’s damageDI was born and raised in Minnesota,the USA,but us an adult I have mostly lived in Europe and Africa.I teach cross-cultural management at the International Business School near Paris.For the last 15 years,I’ve studied how people in different parts of the world build trust,communicate,and make decisions especially in the workplace.While traveling in Tokyo recently with Japanese colleague,I gave a short talk to a group of 20 managers.At the end,I asked whether there were any questions or comments.No hands went up,so I went to sit down.My colleague whispered to me,“I think there actually were some comments,Erin.Do you mind if I try?”I agreed,but I guessed it a waste of breath.He asked the group again,“Any comments or questions?”Still,no one raised a hand,but this time he looked very carefully at each person in the silent audience.Gesturing to one of them,he said,“Do you have something to add?”To my amazement,she responded “Yes,thank you.” and asked me a very interesting question.My colleague repeated this several times,looking directly at the audience and asking for more questions or comments.After the session,I asked my colleague,“How do you know that those people had questions?”He hesitated,not sure how to explain it,and then said,“It has to do with how bright their eyes are.”He continued,“In Japan,we don’t make as much direct eye contact as you do in the West.So when you asked if there were any comments,most people were not looking directly at you.But a few people in the group were looking right at you,and their eyes were bright.That indicates that they would be happy to have you call on them.”I thought to myself I would never have learned from my upbringing in Minnesota.Since then,I try to focus on understanding behavior in other cultures I encounter,and keep finding the bright eyes in the room.12.What can we conclude from the first paragraph?A.Life in Minnesota has made the author worn out.B.The author enjoys traveling around the world.C.Different cultures are kind of familiar to the author.D.The author may start his own business in the future.13.Hearing the colleague whispering,the author______.A.went back to his seat and got seatedB.knew his colleague had some questionsC.owed a big debt of gratitude to his colleagueD.thought his colleague would get nowhere14.Where does the author’s colleague probably come from?A.Japan.B.America.C.Africa.D.France15.Which is the proper title for the passage?A.Focusing on Behavior in Cultures.B.Looking at Another Culture in the Eye.C.Sharing Different Cultures in Tokyo.D.Admiring the Beauty in the Eye.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。

Swimming and English LearningCan you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I'm afraid you'll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It's the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English - speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn't matter. Just be relaxed, and try to catch every word.Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He's afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don't be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important. When there's nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It's interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you'll make.Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we're interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don't be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.Easier said than done. Well, let's do more practice from now on. I'm sure you'll learn English well in this way.（1）We should learn English by ________.A.listening and speakingB.reading and writingC.A and BD.swimming（2）What will you do with mistakes when you speak?A.Don't make mistakes.B.Study hard.C.Try not to speak English.D.Don't be afraid.（3）We can listen to English ________, according to the passage.A.by trainB.on the radioC.every minuteD.now and then【答案】（1）C（2）D（3）B【解析】你会游泳吗?你喜欢游泳吗?是吗?那么，你是怎么学会游泳的呢?我认为最好的方法是下水去学习。
我恐怕仅仅通过阅读有关游泳的书或看别人游泳，你永远学不会游泳。
英语学习也是如此。

2.阅读理解It is well said that strength and courage aren't always measured (衡量) by medals and victories. They are also measured by the struggles we experience. The strongestpeople aren't always the people who win but the people who don't give up when they lose.It's been said that Andrew Jackson's boyhood friends just couldn't understand how he became a famous general and then the President of the United States. They knew of others who had greater talent but who never succeeded. One of Jackson's friends said, "Jim Brown was not only smarter, but he could throw Andrew three times out of four in a wrestling match. But look where Andrew is now."Another friend answered, "How did there happen to be a fourth time? Don't they usually say three times and out?""Sure, they were supposed to, but not Andrew. He would never admit (承认) he was beaten—he would never stay 'thrown'. Jim Brown would get tired, and on the fourth try Andrew would throw him and be the winner."Andrew Jackson just wouldn't stay "thrown"! And that determination served him well for many years.Life will knock us off our feet again and again. But some people just won't stay "thrown". They get up again, dust themselves off and go for it one more time. These are people of courage. They are also people of faith and hope. Maybe you have been knocked off your feet. Will you stay "thrown" or will you rise and give it your best one more time?（1）Who are the strongest people according to the author?A.Those who experience the struggles.B.Those who win the victories.C.Those who have power.D.Those who never give up.（2）According to the text, what made Andrew successful?A.Being independent.B.Being determined.C.Being talented.D.Being confident.（3）What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.All bad things will come to an end.B.We should learn to deal with stress.C.We all experience different sufferings.D.Be careful and keep away from trouble.（4）What is the best title of the text?A.When You've Been "Thrown"B.Whether You Will Be BeatenC.How You Become a Great ManD.Why You Behave Differently【答案】（1）D（2）B（3）C（4）A【解析】本文是一篇记叙文， Andrew Jackson（美国第七任总统）性格倔强，从不轻易服输，这种执着和坚持让他成就了一番伟大的事业。
