Writing第三部分阅读和写作VI.Reading comprehension（共30分）A.Choose the best answer.(12分)Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of acity?In order to answer this question,we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area.Not all historical buildings are attractive.However,there may be other reasons—for example,economic reasons—why they should be preserved.So,let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.What should we do then if a new building is needed?In my view,new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style.Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings.As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响)its surroundings too much,it often improves the attractiveness of the area.It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(破坏)the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too.Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas.I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative and do not like change.Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings,I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward.If we always reproduced what was there before,we would all still be living in caves.Thus,I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different,even though that might be the more risky choice.69.What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?A.Some of them are not attractive.B.Most of them are too expensive to preserve.C.They are more pleasing than modern buildings.D.They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.70.Why do people still speak against new buildings in historic areas according to the author?A.Because historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.B.Because new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style.C.Because people like following old ideas and do not like change.D.Because people have to respect new architectural styles.71.Which of the following is true according to the author?A.We should reproduce the same old buildings.B.Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.C.Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.D.No one understands why people speak against new buildings.72.By using`“move things forward”in the last paragraph,the author probably means“_______”.A.Destroy old buildingsB.Put things in a different placeC.Choose new architectural stylesD.Respect people’s feelings for historical buildings73.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To explain why people dislike change.B.To warn that we could end up with living in caves.C.To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.D.To argue that modern buildings an be built in historic areas.74.What is the author’s attitude towards the topic“Should we allow modern buildings to be builtnext to older buildings in a historic area of a city?”A.UninterestedB.SupportiveC.NeutralD.DisapprovedB.Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage.(12分)In1973,I was teaching elementary school.Each day,27kids entered“The Thinking Laboratory.”That was the name students voted for after deciding that“Room104”was too dull.Freddy was an average student,but not an average person.He had the rare balance of fun and compassion（同情）.He would laugh the loudest over fun and be the saddest over anyone’s __75_______.Before the school year___________,I gave the kids a special gift,T-shirts with the words“Verbs Are Your_____76____”on them.I had advised the kids that while verbs（动词）may seem dull,most of the fun things they do through out their lives will be verbs.Through the years,I’d run into former students who would provide___77_______on old classmates.I learned that Freddy did several jobs after his graduation from high school and remained the same____78____person I met forty years before.Once,while working over night at a store,he let a homeless man sleep in his truck.Another time,he lent a friend money to buy a house.Just last year,I was____79______a workshop when someone knocked at the classroom door.A woman excused the interruption and handed me an envelope.I stopped teaching and opened it up.Inside were the“Verbs”shirt and a note from Freddy’s mother.“Freddy passed away on Thanksgiving.He wanted you to have this.”I told the story to the class.As sad as it was,I couldn’t help smiling.Although Freddy was taken from us,we all____80______something from Freddy.75..A.misfortune B.disbelief C.dishonesty D.mistake76.A.friends B.Awards C.Masters D.Tasks77.A.assessments ments C.instructions D.updates78.A.daring B.modest C.caring D.smart79.A.observing B.preparing C.designing D.conducting80.A.chose B.took C.expected D.borrowedC.Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.(14分)For most city people,the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains,jets，and even bicycles.Dr.Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevator experts who c___81___this a misunderstanding.Without the elevator,they point out,there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings,and city life as we know it would be i___82___.In that sense,they argue，the elevator’s role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars.In fact,according to Wilk?the car and the elevator have been locked in a“secret war”for over a century,with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally(水平地)，and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical(垂直的)columns.If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators,it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief,boring,and even awkward experience one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common,and an unpleasant a____83__of the fact thatwe’re hanging from a cable in a long passage.In a new book,Lifted,German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his a___84___to this experience,studying the origins of elevator and its r____85____to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience.“After150years,we are still not used to it”，Bernard said.“We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure.”That mixture,according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other s___86____we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.Today，as the world’s urban population explodes，and cities become more c__87____, taller,and more crowded,America’s total number of elevators—900,000at last count,according to Elevator World magazine’s“2012Vertical Transportation Industry”一are a force that’s becoming more important than ever.And for the people who really,really love them,it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.81c______82i______83.______84________85_______86._____87.______D.Read the passage and answer the questions.(12分)Do you think you are more intelligent than your parents and grandparents?According to James Flynn,a professor at a New Zealand university,you are!Over the course of the last century, people’s IQ test scores have gotten steadily higher---on average,three points higher each decade. This improvement is known as the“Flynn effect”,and scientists want to know what is behind it.IQ tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge.Flynn believes that intelligence partly comes from our parents and partly is the result of our environment,but the improvement in test scores has been happening too quickly to be explained by heredity（遗传）. So what has occurred in the20th century to help people achieve higher scores?Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect.Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general and the learning of test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test.Others have pointed to better nutrition.Babies now are born larger,healthier,and with more brain development than in the past. Another suggested explanation is a change in educational styles,with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information, which improves their problem-solving skills.Flynn has limited the possible explanations after carefully examining test data and discovering that the improvement in scores has taken place in only certain parts of the IQ test.Test-takers are not doing better on the maths or vocabulary sections of the test;they are doing better on the sections requiring reasoning and problem solving.For example,one part of the test shows a set of shapes,and test-takers must find the patterns and connections between them.According to Flynn,this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases.Every time you play a computer game,you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test.So are you really smarter than your parents?In one very specific way,you may be.Questions88.Does Flynn think you are smarter than your parents and grandparents?(1分)89.What do IQ tests focus on,general intelligence or knowledge?(2分)90.How do educational styles help people do better in the test according to some scientists?(2分)91.Which sections did the test takers do better in the test on?(2分)92.Why does the writer mention computer games?(2分)93.Do you agree with Flynn?Why or why not?(3分)参考答案26-30DBADD31-35DBABB36-40ADABA41-45CADDC46.D47.A48.E49.B50.C51.A52.B53.E54.trickier55.habitual56.essence57.skillfully58.respetable59.exchange60.electricity61.requirements62.Did,stick63.It's,since64.am woken65.isn't it66.What important67.preferred,to 69.A70.C71.C72.C73.D74.B75.A76.A77.D78.C79.D80.B81.consider82.impossible83.awareness84.attention85.relationship86.situation87. crowded88.Yes,he does89.General intelligence90.By increasing exposure to tests and learning test-taking techniques.91.The sections requiring reasoning and problem solving92.To prove that increasing the amount of technology in our lives can improve the visual intelligence.93.略。

Reading Comprehension（阅读理解）（共50分）A. Choose the best answer.（选择最恰当的答案）（每题2分，共12分）Everyone has traits(特性) that make us who we are. We have physical traits, like red hair, long legs and funny-looking toes. We also have character traits including humor, warmth, creativity and so on.Certain physical traits are fully inherited(遗传), such as blue eyes and knobby(多节的) knees. About 5,000 to 35,000 genes(基因) are in a single cell in the human body. These genes carry the traits that are passed down genetically from parents to their children.Many traits exist between inheritance and development-the interaction with environment. One example is body shape. It tends to be passed down from parents. But once diet becomes a factor, environment begins to play an important role in how the body develops. Body shape is a trait that is a mixture of inheritance from parents and influence of environment.So lots of our most important traits have been learned, rather than inherited. For example, if you’re really great at video games, it’s not because your parents passed down the skills in genes. It’s because you have practiced a lot of video games and developed those skills yourself. If you have kids who turn out to be great at video games, it is because they put in the hours, learned the skills, and memorized the moves that are necessary to play the video games well.Of course, some of us have brains that are more advantageous to video game playing. Say you were born with a large and powerful part of the brain that controls your hand-eye coordination(协调能力). That’s inherited. What you do with it, how you choose to develop that advantage, is up to you.You can pierce(穿孔) your nose or get a tattoo(文身)-it doesn’t matter how much you change your body during the lifetime. None of those things will turn into genetic material to be passed down to the next generation. However, if your children grow up in an environment with role models who are pierced and covered in tattoos, they are more likely to get piercings and tattoos!() 44. ______ is a physical trait that is fully inherited.A. The eye colorB. The special dietC. The body shapeD. The pierced nose() 45. The person who is good at video games ______.A. learned the skills from his parentsB. spent a lot of hours playing video gamesC. need a large and powerful part of the brainD. pierced his nose and got a tattoo() 46. The underlined word “factor” in Paragraph 3 means “something ______ a situation”.A. causeB. describeC. introduceD. provide() 47. If you are covered with tattoos, your children will ______.A. have humor and creativityB. change their body shapeC. be more likely to get tattoosD. hardly inherit the character() 48. According to the passage, the writer believes that ______.A. character traits can hardly change during the lifetimeB. the skills of video game playing are passed down to kidsC. a kid’s hand-eye coordination isn’t related to inheritanceD. environment plays an important role in traits development() 49. What is the best title for the passage?A. Why are Traits Important?B. How does Inheritance Influence Traits?C. Where do Traits Come from?D. What are Physical and Character Traits?B. Choose the words to complete the passage.（选择最恰当的单词，完成短文）（每题2分，共12分）My hobby is live action role playing (LARPing), which is likeacting without an audience.

The games may last from 20 minutes to two days, and before the game you need to make the preparations (clothes, tec.) and read the material about the game.

There could be unexpected side effects(副作用).”Another p___62___ is that most people still don’t trust genetically modified food, even if it’s proven to be safe.

Even so, the recipe I treasure most is not on any index card nor did she send it to me in a letter. Instead, she lived this recipe all of her life.My mother grew up in a small coal mining town in southwest Iowa. My grandfather once told me that she knew no stranger; she considered everyone in that community her friend. That attitude continued wherever she lived for the rest of her life.As a teen, I was embarrassed every time my mother talked to strangers and offered a smile to everyone in the store or on the city bus. Almost all of them responded(回应) with a bright smile of their own. Some spoke, others nodded their heads at this elderly woman who brought a little light into their day.What really sold me on Mom’s approach to life was her experience on the senior bus. The weeks I could not be there, she used this low-cost transportation to the grocery store. After her first trip, I asked her how it went.“Ha!” she said, “I got on that bus and what did I see? Thirteen little old ladies and one old man, and not one word was spoken.”I wondered how long it would be until the silence on that bus would change. On my next visit, Mom mentioned the 13 little old ladies on the bus and something one of them had told her.“Oh, are you talking with them now?” I asked.“Of course,” she said. “One day I climbed up the steps of the bus and before I looked for a seat, I gave them a big smile and I said, ‘Isn’t it a wonderful day?’ I noticed a few shy smiles.”Mom didn’t give up. She greeted them all each time she got on the bus and before long, the whole group was laughing and talking to one another. The bus became more than just transportation.When we went to the various stores, I watched as she smiled and chatted with perfect strangers. Some of them looked like the poorest person you’d ever met, but once Mom smiled at them and started a conversation, most responded favorably. My mother didn’t embarrass me any longer. I found myself admiring her.63. Where did the writer’s mom grow up?_____________________________________________________64.

steel bridge collapsed（倒塌）during evening rush hour.Dozens of cars fell down60feet into the Mississippi River.Ten people died,and more than50were seriously injured.The bridge was being repaired because it was found to be structurally deficient（结构有缺陷的）；it needed to be repaired.Like many bridges throughout America,the bridge was built more than40years ago.Traffic was much lighter then.Nowadays,cars,buses,and big trucks cross the bridge every day,even late at night.“I heard a terrific sound,”said Miss Turner about the disaster.She ran out of her car to see what was happening.She saw cars falling into the river and heard people screaming.She heard the loud sounds of the bridge collapsing and sounds as the parts of the bridge and cars hit the water.“It was horrible,”she said. Engineers had no explanation for the collapse.They said the bridge had been inspected recently.The report said that,although it was structurally deficient,the bridge was not unsafe.Since the report did not say that the bridge was unsafe,the decision was so simply repair it at some locations.Americans were shocked that an American bridge could simply collapse.The news was all over TV,radio and most newspapers.One newspaper survey showed that almost10percent（about59,000）of American’s bridges were structurally deficient.At first,some people thought that terrorists（恐怖分子）might have put a bomb（炸弹）into the bridge.One drive said that,before he drove over another bridge in America,he would make sure that a life jacket was in the front seat next to him.69.A steel bridge collapsed at about_____.A.7:30a.m.B.11:30a.m.C.7:30p.m.D.11:30p.m.70.It was reported that______people died in the disaster.A.50B.10C.60D.4071.Miss Tumer was____when the bridge collapsed.A.in her carB.in the officeC.on the bridgeD.on a ship72.The underlined word“inspected”probably means_____.A.builtB.foundC.printedD.examined73.The steel bridge collapsed because_____.A.it was too oldB.there was a bombC.the traffic was too heavyD.some terrorists attacked74.How did Americans feel after the disaster?A.They were excited about the news.B.None of them dared to cross my bridge.C.They were frightened and worried.D.They were angry and sad.B.Choose the best words or phrases and complete the passage.You either have it,or you don’t–a sense of direction,that is.But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map,while others can lose themselves in the next street?Scientists say we're all born with a sense of direction,___75___they do not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it.Research which is being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don't use it,we lose it.“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around.”Says Jim Martland,Research Director of the project."However,if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car,they___76___develop the skills."Jim Martland also points out that young people should be taught certain skills to___77___their sense of direction.He makes the following suggestions:If you are using a___78___,turn it so it relates to（与…联系起来）the way you are facing.If you leave your bike in a___79___place,put it near something like a big stone or a tree.Note landmarks onthe route as you go away from your bike.When you return,go back along the same route.You can make the way of finding your direction easy by using lines such as streets in a town,streams,or walls in the countryside to guide you.Count your steps so that you know___80___you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.75.A.or B.as C.but D.so76.A.never B.always C.possibly D.almost77.A.change B.improve C.form D.grow78.A.book B.magazine C.dictionary D.map79.A.strange B.similar C.familiar D.dangerous80.A.how B.where C.if D.how farC.Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.Rubbish sorting（分类）probably doesn’t sound like much fun.But there is a new mobile game that may change your opinion about it,and you might e___81___learn something while you play it—Meet Sortee.Meet Sortee is a puzzle game developed by Flow Studio,a UK company.It makes you think deeply about everyday objects and their meanings.The r___82___of the game is quite simple.Two bins are placed on either side of the screen.Each of the bins has a label(标签)next to it and the label explains what it is for.When an object,such as a car or an apple,appearson the screen,you need to d___83___which bin it should be sorted into and then send it there by moving your finger.The game seems easy enough at first.But as you move on to more levels,it gets h___84___.The number of bins increases to three or four and the time given gets shorter.You need to think and move faster.That can be r___85___difficult.There are400objects in total and more than100bins in the game.The more objects you correctly sort,the more game coins you can get.It’s a bit like working in a rubbish recycling center,but it has no b___86___smell. You can download the free game from APP store,but it only l___87___you play the first few levels.If you want to open the next40levels,you need to pay6yuan for the full game.81.________82.________83.________84.________85.________86.________87.________D.Answer the questions.A new TV series in England,Away from it all,has surprised everyone by becoming a huge success with young people across the country.Its success is surprising because the series is about the relaxing lifestyles of people who live in the country.There is none of the action that we usually see on TV today/There are also no stressful moments,busy offices or crowded cities.Away from it all is set in the peaceful English countryside and tells simple stories about people’s kindness.The director of the TV series says that its success is a sign of teenagers suffering from stress（压力）.They say that watching Away from it all helps teenagers forget about the stress of exams and homework,and the troubles that fill the world today.They also say that it’s a good sign of today’s young people switching to(转到)happier TV series as it shows they would like a happier and healthier world.Although the series’success might have a good side,many teachers and parents are worried,however.They say that some of their students and children are becoming couch potatoes(终日泡在电视机前的人)and are using Away from it all as an excuse for not completing homework.Some children have even refused to learn for exams because they say that they can only achieve personal happiness by avoiding stressful situations completely. And what do the experts say?Paula Ray,a doctor of education,says that TV can influence children’s lifestyles. But she says that if a child reacts strongly,it’s likely that there are other reasons for his change in behaviour.She says that there is nothing wrong with watching Away from it all but suggests that ___________________________________________.88.What is the new TV series Away from it all about?_________________________________________________________________________89.What does the director think of teenagers’life today?_________________________________________________________________________90.Why do students often use Away from it all as an excuse?_________________________________________________________________________91.When do some children think they can achieve complete personal happiness?_________________________________________________________________________92.According to Paula Ray,TV isn’t the only reason that changes children’s lifestyles,is it?_________________________________________________________________________93.According to Paula Ray,what suggestion will she make?She suggests that___________________________________________________________Ⅶ.Writing.94.Some students take an active part in after-school clubs.Recently,as Grade Nine students,they feel too busy to care for so many activities.Some parents also want them to give up their hobbies.Write a passage of at least60 words on the topic“Is it time to give up everything except study?”（以“是否要放弃除了学习以外的一切？”为题写一篇不少于60个词的短文，标点符号不占格。
