（共26分，每小题2分）TennisBaseball Baseball, the national sport of the US, comes from an old English game calledEngland still play today, but the American game is more complex(的BilliardOver 47. When did tennis come to Britain?A. 800 years ago.B. 600 years ago.C. 400 years ago.D. 200 years ago.48. Which country has baseball as its national sport?A. England.B. Spain.C. Japan.D.The US.49. Which of the following started in England?A. Tennis.B. Billiard.C. Voll eyball.D. Basketball.BGuide dogs are an accepted part of everyday life, but what about guide horses? There are really such useful animals, at least in the US.The animals are miniature horses, no more than 86 cm high at the shoulders, like big toys. They are well trained, just as guide dogs are (including house training). They go on public transport, including planes, with their owners and into buildings—if necessary wearing specially made shoes to avoid falling down on floors—but they sleep outside. They might be chosen in preference to a guide dog because the owner is afraid of dogs or wants an animal that will live longer.According to Michigan student Mona Ramouni, it’s not right to have a dog inside the house for some religious (宗教的) reasons. Ramouni, who is blind, says her guide horse Cali has changed her whole world. “She has made it possible for me to do anything I want to do.”50. What are guide horses like?A. Smaller than usual.B. Stronger than usual.C. Faster than usual.D. Cleverer than usual.51. Which of following cannot guide horses do?A. Go on streets.B. Get on planes.C. Work in houses.D. Sleep in houses.52. Why does Mona Ramouni need a guide horse?A. She is old.B. She is young.C. She is blind.D. She is deaf.CYou’re buying a used car, moving into a new house, or deciding which doctor should treat your illness. These are times when you need to get directly to the core (核心) of an important matter.Asking general questions gets little valuable information and may even result in unreal answers, says Julia Minson, a visiting scholar in decision sciences at the University of Pennsylvania in the US. The best way, says Minson, is to ask a lot of questions that discover there are problems.Let’s say someone is selling a used iPod. An example of a general question is “What can you tell me about it?” A positive-assumption (正面推测) question is “There aren’t any problems with it, right?” But a negative-assumption question, such as “What problems have you had with it?”will get the most h onest answer, found Minson and her team.In a study, 87% of the sellers warned the buyers to problems when asked a negative-assumption question, while 59% of those did the same thing to a positive-assumption one.When you want the truth, you have to ask for it. What problems does this car have? What are the worst parts of this job? How many people with my kind of illness have been successfully treated? Your questions should communicate that you are sure there will be difficulties and that you want to know about them.53. What can we do if we want the truth, according to the passage?A. Ask for it ourselves.B. Talk with honest people.C. Study it ourselves.D. Do some experiments.54. What kind of questions has the best result?A. General questions.B. Positive-assumption questions.C. Careful questions.D. Negative-assumption questions.55. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. How to Find Honest PeopleB. How to Talk with OthersC. How to Get an Honest AnswerD. How to Avoid Being CheatedDResearchers have recently discovered how to make families work more successfully. A surprising idea has appeared: the single most important thing you can do for your family, it seems, is to develop a family story.I first heard this idea in the mid-1990s from Marshall Duke, a professor at Emory University. Duke was studying stories in families when his wife, a children’s learning specialist, made a discovery: “The students who know a lot about their families will do better when they face challenges (挑战),” Sara said.Interested, Duke set out to test her conclusion. He and Emory workmate Robyn Fivush developed a method called the “Do You Know?”degree that asked children to answer 20 questions such as: Do you know where your grandparents grew up? Do you know where your mum and dad went to high school? Do you know about an illness or something really terrible that happened in your family?Duke and Fivush asked those questions to members of four dozen families in 2001. They then compared the children’s results with a group of psychological (心理学的) tests the children had taken and reached a conclusion that agreed to Sara’s theory. The more children knew about their families’histories, the stronger their sense of control over their lives, the higher their self-respect, and the more successfully they believed their families worked from generation to generation (代代传承).“We were blown away,” Duke said. The researchers mentioned the children after the terrible events of September 11, 2001. “Once again,” Duke said, “the ones who knew more about their families proved to be stronger.”Why does knowing where her grandmother went to school help a child overcome something terrible and difficult? Duke said that children who have the most self-confidence have what he calls “a strong intergenerational self”. They know that they come from something bigger than themselves.Duke suggested that parents do the same activities with their children again and again. Any kind of activities work to teach the sense of history: holidays, vacations, big family get-togethers, even a drive to the shop. “These traditions become part of your family,” Duke said.Years of research have shows that most happy families also communicate successfully, but it’s not simply a matter of talking through problems. Talking also means telling a positive (正面的)story about yourselves. When faced with a challenge, happy families, like happy people, just add a new chapter (章) to their life story that shows them overcoming the difficulty. This skill is veryimportant for children when they are growing up.The bottom lines: if you want a happier family, create, refine andretell the story of your family’s best moments and your relations’ abilityto overcome difficulty. That act alone may prove the fact that yourfamily will thrive (兴旺) for many generations to come.56. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. Happy children are usually brought up in happy families.B. Our family is the most important place to teach children.C. There are many things for the young to learn from the old.D. Family history plays an important part when children grow up.57. What can the “Do you know?” degree tell us?A. What relation in one’s family is.B. What story one’s family has had.C. How much one knows his family.D. How much one loves his family.58. The underlined sentence “We were blown away” in the passage may mean “______.”A. We were surprised very muchB. We were deeply movedC. We were .punished seriouslyD. We were completely lost59. Which of the following is true, according to the passage?A. The event of September 11, 2001 helped Duke draw his conclusion.B. Duke thinks that a strong intergenerational self is the most important..C. Duke and Sara’s research work led us to an unexpected conclusion.D. According to Duke, positive talks will add new chapters to one’s life.七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Editor Henry Slocum,I read your May 10th article in the local newspaper Honesdale Times about electronic books, or e﹣books, with great interest．You made several good points about the disadvantages of e﹣books．You may have overlooked, however, some of the ways in which they are superior to traditional books．Yes, e﹣books are expensive, but they are also convenient．In addition, due to their environment﹣friendly nature, e﹣books have the potential to change our planet for the better．E﹣books, for anyone who is unfamiliar with the term, are about the same size and shapeas regular books．They have a large screen in the middle, however．This screen shows the reader a page of text that has been downloaded from a computer．Once the reader has finished reading the page on the e﹣book screen．he or she scrolls down to see a new page．The process continues until the entire book has been read．As you pointed out．Mr．Slocum, it's great to lie on a warm, sandy beach with a book．You can do that just as easily with an e﹣book as you can with a traditional paper book．In fact, because e﹣books are so light, you can carry them anywhere．Say, for example, that you like to read on the bus．Which would you rather carry with you﹣a heavy 800﹣page novel, or an e﹣book that weighs only a few ounces?Another important advantage is offered by e﹣books as well．They are more environmentfriendly than traditional books．At present, thousands of trees are cut down each year to meet the publishing industry's demand for paper．Books that don't sell are eventually returned to the Dublisher and destroyed．This terrible waste could be avoided if everyone used e﹣books, which require no paper．Sincerely,David EngDavid Eng（1）What does Editor Henry Slocum think about e﹣books？________A Interesting．B Expensive．C ConvenientD Environment﹣friendly．．（2）What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2？________A What an e﹣book is．B Why e﹣books are popular．C How e﹣books have developed．D Who are the readers of e﹣books．．（3）In David's letter，he thinks that________A E﹣books will come down in priceB E﹣books come in various sizes andshapes C E﹣books do little harm to the environment D E﹣books are no better than traditional books．（4）The main purpose of the letter is to________A explain how to read e﹣booksB honor the person who invented e﹣booksC scold publishers for wasting so much paperD provide evidence that e﹣books are a good idea．19. Losing weight comes with a lot of health benefits﹣including making your brain sharper．Yes, it turns out that overweight may damage cognitive functions such as memory and attention．There have been few studies of overweight and cognitive functioning, possibly because it is generally believed that it is not a primary risk cause for poor cognitive performance．Losing weight, therefore, may help improve these mental functions, according to a new research led by John Gunstad, assistant professor of psychology at Kent State University．Growing evidence suggests that being fat is linked to cognitive deficits（缺陷）．So Gunstad and his team guessed that losing weight might improve mental function．For their study, they measured memory and attention in a group of l 50overweight participants, some of whom had some kind of operation for weight loss and some did not．All of the volunteers completed mental skills tests to assess their abilities of memory and attention at the beginning of the study, and again 12weeks later．To begin with．about 24%of the patients showed damaged learning and 23%showed signs of poor memory when tested．At the end of the study, those who had lost weight after operation improved their scores into the average or above average range for cognitive functions．Scores for the volunteers who didn't lose weight dropped even further．The study helped Gunstad to find out whether losing weight had any effect on mental function．Now that he's seen the positive effect that weight loss can have on memory and attention, he says he will next study those who choose to lose weight by the traditional way ﹣eating healthier and getting more active．He expects that losing weight in this way will have a similarly positive effect on the brain．"If we can improve the condition with operations, then we can probably produce the same change with behavioral weight loss as well, ''he says．（1）There is less research on overweight and cognitive functions becauseresearchers________A believe overweight only affects our bodyB have focused on ways to sharpen people's mindC do not consider overweight a main cause for low cognitive abilityD are clear about the relation between weight and mental functions．（2）The result of Gunstad's study shows that________A losing weight has little effect on people's memoryB losing weight can improve people's mental functionsC overweight people are likely to have psychologyproblems D overweight people's abilities of concentration differ greatly．（3）What is Gunstad planning to prove next in his research？________A Slim people are smarter than overweight people．B Healthy diet is better than exercise in losing weight．C Traditional ways of losing weight are better than operationD Overweight people will get smarter by taking more exercise．．（4）Which of the following is the best title for the text？________A Body Weight and HealthB Losing Weight by OperationC Ways to Improve MentalFunctions D Losing Weight to Sharpen Your Mind．20. Seeing in StereoHave you wondered why you have two eyes and why they are set close together on the front of your face? The reasons are simple and important to the way you see the rest of your world．Your eyes are like two small cameras．A camera catches an image（影像）of an object and records it on film．Similarly, when you look at something, each eye takes in what it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball．Because your eyes are set close together, they view the world from about the same height but from slightly different angles．Working as a team, the eyes send the images to your brain, which puts them together into a single, centered image．Seeing in stereo means seeing with two eyes working together, which is called stereoscopic sight．This allows you to view the world in three dimensions, or 3﹣D．Seeing depth helps you to judge the distance between you and the objeets you see and to adjust to the changing angle at which you see something as you move closer to or farther away from it．If images are coming from only one eye, however, only two of these dimensions﹣height and width﹣can be ________．A world seen with one eye is thus two﹣dimensional, as in a photograph． Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your face．Think of other animals with this same arrangement．They are all animals that hunt, like lions and wolves．Their eyes face directly in front of them．This provides a field of sight about 180degreeswide, which is called binocular sight．On the other hand, animals that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head, which Drovides nearly 360﹣degree field of sight．In order to stay alive, they need to see things coming from the sides and from behind．However, without stereoscopic sight, they have difficulty determining how far a danger is．With sight both stereoscopic and binocular, humans share with animal hunters the ability to see from side to side and to accurately determine the distance．If you think it would be great to have another type of sight, perhaps with hundreds of tiny eyes like many insects do, think again!Each tinv insect eye sees only a tiny part．Besides, what if you needed glasses? Be glad for the eyesight that you have．（1）According to the passage，an eye is like a camera because both________A can record imagesB can imagine objectsC provide centered imagesD work at the same height．（2）Stereoscopic sight is a result of having________A a three﹣hundred﹣sixty﹣degree field of sightB hundreds of eyes，all seeing parts of an imageC two eyes close to one another that work togetherD one eye on either side of the head，each seeing a different image．（3）The underlined word"perceived''in Paragraph 3means________A setB takenC seenD understood．（4）The author implies that"seeing in stereo"________A is similar to the way cameras workB is an ability humans are fortunate tohave C would be better for a wider field of sight D helps people to havelbetter sight than animals．三、第二节（共1小题；每小题10分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．21.Puppy FoodA puppy（young dog）is a precious addition to any family．The excitement of bringing home a little furry friend will always live in our memories．Like all of us，though，your puppy must have adequate nutrition right from the start to make certain that it'll have a long and healthy life．（1）_______You might ask yourself what is the best for your new pet with all of the different varieties on the market in all of their attractive packaging．Some dry food produced specially for puppies is the best for the development of their teeth．（2）_______Contrary to the belief of many first﹣time puppy owners，it is not always the best idea to purchase food that is too high in calcium（钙），protein，and vitamin levels．（3）_______In addition，a high intake of calcium is associated with bone disease in large﹣breed dogs．If you have a"smallbreed"puppy，you can buy that kind of food．It is not a good idea to feed the food you eat to your puppy frequently，as your puppy may become selective about food．（4）_______ Some people think that dog biscuits and other treats are fine，but they should not be a main part of puppy's diet．Young puppies should be fed three times a day．Each puppy is unique，however，so feeding them twice a day is acceptable．After ten to twelve weeks of age，feed your puppy twice per day．Allow your puppy to eat as much as he would like in fifteen minutes．（5）_______ If you let your puppy eat too much or too often by keeping food accessible at all times，he may become overweight and have health problems as an adult．Like humans，your puppy will not enjoy the food any longer if it is there at all times．A．Pick up the dish with the remaining food．B．Proper food is a basic necessity for your puppies．C．Remember to give your puppy the food he would like to have．D．It can also cause an upset stomach due to an unbalanced diet．E．A further benefit is that it is less expensive than the canned food．F．One example is that extra helpings of nutrients do harm to digestive organs．G．It'good to provide the extra nutrients a puppy needs until he grows larger．四、第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节（15分）22. 你的英国朋友Tim打算暑假来北京学习汉语，来信向你咨询你校国际班的汉语课程．请你根据以下提示给他写一封回信．1）为汉语初学者开设，每班10人；2）注重听说；3）安排与中国学生交流活动．注意：1）词数不少于50；2）可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；3）开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数．Hi Tim，________Yours，Steve．四、第二节（20分）23. 假设你是红星中学高三（1）班的学生李华．上周你班组织志愿活动，清理地铁内小广告和垃圾．请根据以下四幅图的先后顺序，用英语写一篇周记，记述从讨论到活动实施的全过程．注意：1）周记的开头已为你写好．2）词数不少于60．提示词：小广告adletsLast week，our class organized a voluntary activity in subway cars．________．2014年北京市朝阳区高考英语一模试卷答案1.

Cling...Cling...Clank. From inside my apartment, I winced(皱起眉头)at the noise my parents were making as they sorted bottles and cans out on the balcony(阳台).I called to my 35 in Chinese, “Hoe many do you have this time?”“Eight hundred and six pieces, that's ＄40.30!”she answered. I'd been living in my Los Angeles apartment for over four years when my parents came for a six-month visit from China. I'd 36 notices that the plastic bottles and cans they'd collected on the road were worth5 cents each. When their stay with us ended, I felt free, though i was 37 for environmental education in fact.By the time my daughter began school I was expected to raise money for the school. I felt heavy pressure(压力)。
How could I work out the problem? That's when it 38 me: how about uniting(结合) the two---environmental education and raising money? I joined an organization called LACES. It had more than 1,600 students, parents and teachers. If my elderly parents could 39 ＄300 in six months from recycling, why couldn't we multiply(乘以) that number by at least 800? My team organized a day for students and parents to bring bottles and cans directly to school. We called it Green for Green Drive. The first one raised only＄145.But we planned more drives. With each one, the number started to look 40:＄145... ＄400... ＄481. The more success we had, the more people 41 our team.Today, LACES teachers keep boxes in their classroom for bottles and cans. Students collect recyclables and 42 them in boxes. Parents collect at their offices. LACES parents have told me that 43 they uses to see litter, they see money. Since LACES Green program started in 2011, we have raised ＄15.500 for school and recycled about 75,000 pounds of water.I believe that our effort is 44 by the others in the community, and t hat the result is multiplied.I use to laugh at my parents' recycling project during their visit here. Now i laugh at myself for getting the 45 from their clever ideas. they may never 46 anyone beyond their family, but their small effort has led to big change, one that inspires(激励)family，friends, children, and even strangers.35.
