5.I’m looking for a house which is big enough ________ all the children.
A.to holdB.to have held
C.to be heldD.to holding
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：我正在找一个足够大的房子，可以住得下所有的孩子。enough to do是固定用法，to为动词不定式。当hold的意思为容纳时，其主语为物，用主动态。该句中hold的逻辑主语为a house，指物，所以用其主动态，非谓语动词的动作发生在谓语动词的动作之后，要用动词不定式的一般式。故选A。
2.—Did you see Harry just now?
—No, I ____ computer games.
A.have playedB.am playing
C.had playedD.was playing
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意：——杰克，你刚刚看见Harry了吗？——没有，我正在玩电脑游戏。根据语境可知，此处指“刚刚我正在玩电脑游戏”，应使用过去进行时。故选D。
A.too fast thatB.so fast that
C.such fast thatD.as fast as that
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型。句意：Jenny被罚款了，因为她开得太快，以至于没能在红灯前停车。此处是固定句型so/such…that“如此……以至于……”，fast是副词，要用so来修饰，so常常用来修饰形容词和副词。故选B。
A.wasB.wereC.isD.are
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意：一位著名的舞蹈家和歌唱家应邀来到了晚会，晚会很成功。并列连词and后为一般过去时，所以and前的时态也应是一般过去时。主语中冠词a修饰后面的两个名词，所以这个人既是歌唱家又是舞蹈家，指一个人，谓语动词使用第三人称单数。故选A。
6.—Look, the building ________ top we can see here is our library.
—Oh, it is very beautiful.
A.thatB.whatC.whichD.whose
【答案】。句意：——看，我们在这儿能看到的楼顶是我们的图书馆。——哦，它很漂亮。定语从句中关系代词作定语修饰名词top，whose＋名词表示所属，定语从句中whose既可以修饰人，也可以修饰物。故选D。
9.________ his homework, he went to play football.
A.FinishingB.Having finished
C.To finishD.Finished
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：完成了作业，他才出去踢足球。非谓语动词 逻辑主语he与finish是逻辑上的主谓关系，要用现在分词，同时finish在谓语动词went动作之前发生，所以用现在分词的完成时。故选B。
【点睛】英语中的时态主要由动词的形式决定，因此在学习英语时态时，要注意分析动词形式及具体语境，想象在那个特定的时间动作所发生的背景，这个动作是经常性动作、一般性动作、进行性动作、完成性动作还是将要发生的动作。和将来某个具体时间（段）连用，用将来进行时。
3.A famous dancer and singer ________ invited to the party and it was a great success.
13. Why was Mike absent from the camp?
A. He was ill. B. He felt lonely. C. He missed his parents.
14. Why did some of the kids have a guilty look on their faces?

英语试卷
第一部分：听力（共两节，满分15分）
第一节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）
听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。
【点睛】在使用非谓语动词时还要注意其所表示的动作与句中谓语动词的动作发生的先后顺序，以确定非谓语动词的时态。本题中非谓语动词finish表示的动作发生在谓语动词went之前，要用现在分词的完成式，如果只注意了非谓语动词的形式，而忽略了非谓语动词的时态，就会出现错误。
10.Jenny was fined, because she was driving ________ she couldn’t stop at the red light.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和被动语态。句意：他告诉我们二年前他回到这个城市时这座建筑已经被被毁坏了。主句中时态是一般过去时，宾语从句时态要与其一致，且宾语从句中动词的动作发生在主句谓语动词的动作之前，所以用过去完成时，表示在另一个过去行动（told）之前就已经完成了的事件。宾语从句中的主语the building与动词destroy是动宾关系，要用被动语态，表示被动。因此，用过去完成时的被动语态。故选C。
【点睛】宾语从句的时态要与主句时态一致。主句是一般过去时，从句须用过去时态的某种形式。本题中主句时态为一般过去时，从句可以用一般过去时、过去进行时、过去将来时、过去完成时等，现在从句动词destroy的动作发生在主句动词told的动作之前，是过去的过去，要用过去完成时。
但也要注意：当宾语从句表示的是一个客观真理或者事实真理时，即使主句是过去时，从句也用一般现在时态。
听第6段材料，回答第6至8题。
6. Which place did the woman fail to visit?

7. What did the woman do after doing some shopping?

Grandparents Peter and Chris stepped on the long journey after deciding to “do something a bit different”. They traversed (横穿) cities, deserts, mountains and everything in between across Europe, the Middle East and the East Asia. The married couple of 37 years enjoyed themselves with delicious local food and spent most nights inside a tiny tent put up wherever they could find shelter.Peter, 66, said the moment they finally had a look at the famous Great Wall after a year and a half of cycling 30 miles a day was “really exciting”. At the end of their journey, the special pair didn’t fly home but instead choose to book a cabin (舱) inside a 400m-long container ship. The final part was a three-week voyage from Singapore across the Indian Ocean and into the Mediterranean Sea before arriving at Southampton.“You never know what the day is going to bring. All you know is that you aregoing to get on your bike and cycle. Every day is an adventure and every day is new. Overall, the experience is absolutely unbelievable, ” Peter said.Peter and Chris initially set out to cycle from Britain in January 2017 but were forced home. They had cycled all the way to Hungary when Peter slipped on tiles and broke his leg. After seven months of recovery, the couple set out again in Britain. They finally arrived in China in November 2018.Both Peter and Chris agreed that the best part of the entiretrip was coming across the kindness of strangers along the way, many of whom invited the couple for food and drink.

The kindness from other cyclists.CHundreds of thousands of lives were saved in 2017 alone because of the improvement of the environment, according to a new research. Fine particle pollution declined rapidly following the new rules on industrial emissions and the promotion of cleanfuels, according to the study, published on Monday in the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. The study, which focused on the period from 2013-2017, was conducted by a group of Chinese researchers and scientists.PM2.5, as this kind of pollution is known, is so small that it can enter the bloodstream, potentially leading to cancer, stroke and heart attack in the long term. After rapid industrialization and weak regulations left the country with a reputation for smog and bad air quality, Chinese authorities started to take air pollution seriously in 2008.In 2013, Beijing had PM2.5 concentrations 40 times higher than levels recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), and the governmentintroduced its toughest-ever clean air policies that year. The study found “signif icant declines” in PM2.5 levels across China from 2013-2017, with new standards for thermal power plants and industrial boilers, the replacement of old factories, and new emissions rules for vehicles. The authors say this “confirms the effectiveness of Chi na’s recent clean air actions.”These recent actions have seen Beijing fall out of the top 100 most-polluted cities in Asia in recent years, with the pollution levels 10% lower across Chinese cities between 2017 and 2018, according to a report by Greenpeace and AirVisual. Shanghai, the country’s largest city and financial capital, has also made environmental advances, such as adopting strict recycling regulations. Public pressure has been the driving force of pollution policy in China.Air pollution is a global issue, and India is now home to 22 of the 30 most polluted world cities, according to the Greenpeace and AirVisual report. In the US, a recent study said air pollutionwas linked to more than 107,000 deaths in 2011 and cost the country $866 billion.8. What saved many lives in China?A. China’s clean air policies.B. The increased particle pollution.C. The study by researchers.D. The reduction of the clean fuels.9. Why did PM2.5 cause many diseases?A. It was called smog.B. It made the air cleaner.C. It went into the blood.D. It had a bad reputation.10. When did Chinese government decide to treat the pollution?A. In 2008.B. In 2013.C. In 2017.D. In 2018.11. What did people in Shanghai do to protect the environment?A. They built the thermal power plants.B. They stopped using industrial boilers.C. They made Shanghai financial capital.D. They tried to recycle some rubbish.DIn the 1994 film Forrest Gump, there’s a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.” The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping.A blind box toy is hidden inside uniform packaging(包装) butinvisible from the outside. You don’t know what will be inside, although the toys typically come from pop culture, ranging from movies to comics and cartoons.Blind boxes have caught on since they were first introduced from Japan to China in 2014. According to a 2019 Tmall report, the mini-series of Labubu blind box. designed by Hong Kong -born Kasing Lung, was named Champion of Unit Sales with 55,000 sold in just 9 seconds during the Singles Day shopping event. Most customers for blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35.According to The Paper, blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute appearances. The typically cute cartoon figurines (小塑像) come in miniature (微型的) sizes, making them suitable for display almost anywhere.Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations(装饰品), the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts people. It’s the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another.“Fear of the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process,” said Miss Cao, 24, who lives and works in Shenyang. Speaking to Sina News, she said: “Until you open all the boxes, you cannot know what it is inside.”Opening a blind box is a delightful little surprise for our mundane daily lives, something small but fun to wait for each day, week or month. When people open this simple little box, they may be disappointed, but the uncertainty is part of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome.When someone re-makes Forrest Gump, don't be surprised if he says, “Life is like a blind box.”12.What feature of blind boxes attracts people?A.They often get toys designed by famous artists.B.They don’t know what they’ve got until they open them.C.They can learn about pop culture from the packaging.D.They can experience the excitement of online shopping.13.Why does Miss Cao love blind box toys?。

My mother and sister had gone through Grandma’s belongings after her memorial service and decided on the sewing machine for me. I wasn’t sure if I was the right person for it, though. I hadn’t sewn since taking a class in high school. This would take some experimenting.I opened the built-in drawer to find Grandma’s old pieces of thread. I held her tomato-shaped pincushion(针垫)and thought of all the memories wrapped up in this machine. Grandma had become a tailoress(女裁缝) out of necessity. With four small children to clothes, he’d quickly learned how to sew almost everything they needed. For over 30 years, Grandma kept up with her sewing. She made matching Easter dresses for my sister and me and costumes for our school festivals. She was always in search of a new project, whether it was teaching our neighbors or sewing dresses for the homeless. But for the last several years of her life, dementia(痴呆) had left a shy and silent woman in place of the strong opinionated loving grandmother I’d known.To honor Grandma’s memory, I wanted a project to help people the way she had. With the stay-at-home order in place because of Covid-19, I certainly had the time. So I dug out Grandma’s machine to sew masks, and read up on how to sew. I turned on my computer to research how to get the machine going again. After hours of digging through old black-and-white handbooks and sewing lessons online, I operated the machine on more time. I held my breath and pressed down on the pedal. Hurrah! It worked! In no time, my fingers were flying, steadily moving material under the very cooperative needle. When I sewed enough masks for my family, I kept going. I delivered nearly 500 masks to a hard-hit hospital in the area. Quite a big job for an old sewing machine.A staff member met me outside to receive the donation. “Thank you,” she said, not knowing that any thanks for my efforts belonged to Grandma, who provided the inspiration.1. Why did the author doubt herself about accepting the sewing machine?A．She was not fond of it.B．She didn’t usually sew much.C．She had no interest in sewing.D．She hoped to donate it to charities.2.

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make a choice between “fight” or “flight” and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress is, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.1. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_____.A．they do not know how to enjoy themselvesB．they do not believe that relaxation is important for healthC．they are travelling fast all the timeD．they are becoming busier with their work2. According to the writer, the most important character for a good manager is his ________.A．not fearing stress B．knowing the art of relaxationC．high sense of responsibility D．having control over performance3. Which of the following statements is true?A．We can find some ways to avoid stress.B．Stress is always harmful to people.C．It is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.D．Different people can withstand different amounts of stress.4. In Paragraph 3, “such a reaction” refers back to_______.A．“making a choice between ‘flight’ or ‘fight’”B．“reaction to stress both chemically and physically”C．“responding to crises quickly”D．“losing heart at the signs of difficulties”5. In the last sentence of the passage, “do so” refers to ______.A．“expose ourselves to stress”B．“find ways to deal with stress”C．“remove stress from our lives”D．“established links between diseases and stress”20. Japan is getting tough with recycling— and not in the paper and plastic kind of way. Recently, the country requires that all electronic goods—TVs, VCRs, stereos, and more be recycled. But recycling will not be left toconsumers, instead, the devices will be sent to the original manufacturer for proper disposal.The new law poses a few challenges to manufacturers who are now rushing to set up collection networks and perfecting techniques to take apart and recycle older products. With an eye toward the future, they are also integratingeasily recycled materials into new products. Plastics, a major component of most electronic products, pose a particular obstacle because their quality becomes worse and worse with age, losing strength and flexibility even if reprocessed.NEC Corp. overcomes this problem by creating a plastics sandwich, in which the filling is 100 percent recycled plastic and the outer layers a mixture of 14 percent recycled material. The resulting plastic has sufficient strength andtoughness for use as a case for desktop PCs. The company. in cooperation with plastic maker Sumitomo Dow, has also developed a new plastic, which engineers claim keeps its mechanical properties through repeated recycling. NECuses the plastic, which is also flame-retardant（阻燃的）in battery cases for notebook PCs.Meanwhile, Matsushita Electric, maker of the Panasonic brand, is avoiding plastic in favor of magnesium（镁）. Magnesium, says the company, is ideal for recycling because it retains its original strength through repeatedreprocessing. Matsushita has developed molding techniques to form magnesium into the case for a 21-inch TV.Unfortunately, the magnesium case and energy-saving features make the TV about twice as expensive as an ordinary model. The company hopes, however, that increased use of magnesium will eventually bring prices down.1. According to the present regulations of Japan, the recycling of paper and plastic will be the responsibility of _______.A．the government B．the manufacturers C．the consumers D．the sellers2. Which of the following is NOT the character of plastics?A．Most electronic products contain plastics.B．It keeps its original strength through reprocessing.C．Recycled plastics can be integrated into new products.D．Plastics will lose flexibility after a certain period of time.3. According to the passage, the term “plastic sandwich” refers to _______.A．a kind of sandwich-shaped toy made of plasticsB．a kind of plastics with different integration in each layerC．a kind of plastics with maximum strength and flexibilityD．a kind of plastics made of 100% recycled materials4. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A．selling plastics is the only business of NEC CorpB．magnesium is an ideal material for making notebook PCsC．21-inch TV with magnesium case isn’t very popular so farD．magnesium must be better than the plastics5. The author writes this passage in order to_______.A．inform B．direct C．predict D．persuade四、阅读表达21. 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
天津市河西区2019_2020学年高一政治上学期期末考试试题word版(含答案解析)
天津市河西区2019-2020学年高一政治上学期期末考试试题（含解析）一、答案唯一的四项选择题（每小题2分，共70分）1.私有制、阶级、国家产生的根本原因是A. 个体劳动的盛行B. 生产力的发展C. 生产关系的变化D. 贫富分化的出现【答案】B【解析】【详解】B：私有制、阶级、国家产生的根本原因是社会生产力的发展，使得生产关系必须与之相适应，由此推动私有制、阶级、国家产生相继产生，B符合题意。
ACD：个体劳动的盛行、生产关系的变化、贫富分化的出现等，其根源都是生产力的发展，ACD 说法错误。
故本题选B。
【点睛】原始社会末期，生产工具的改进，大大推动了生产力的发展。
随着生产力的发展，个体劳动逐渐盛行起来。
原来以氏族为单位的共同劳动，被以家庭为单位的个体劳动代替，生产资料相应地由氏族公有转归家庭私有。
最早归家庭私有的主要是生产工具和牲畜，后来土地也变成私有财产，这标志着私有制的确立。
贫富分化的加剧，使氏族成员的地位越来越不平等，漫长的原始社会解体了。
2.在班级学习交流中，一位同学做了“原始社会--石器；奴隶社会一金属工具（青铜器）；封建社会一铁器；资本主义社会--机器”的演说。
他演说的主题最有可能是A. 生产力决定生产关系，进而决定产品如何分配B. 生产力决定生产关系，进而决定社会形态的更替C. 规律是不可违背的，世界各国都要经历相同的发展历程D. 历史发展具有多样性，不同地区社会形态更替存在差异性【答案】B【解析】【详解】本题考查生产关系与生产力的关系。
B：材料中每一种形态的社会均对应相应的生产工具，即对应相应的生产力水平，这说明生产力决定生产关系，进而决定社会形态的更替，B符合题意。
A：材料未阐释生产力决定产品如何分配，A排除。
C：“世界各国都要经历相同的发展历程”说法明显错误，C排除。
D：社会形态更替具有客观规律，D错误。
故本题选B。
【点睛】本题可用排除法解答：1．题肢本身表述错误者不选（逆向选择题除外）（先看答案，先排除错误的选项，再看题目和材料），本题可排除CD；2．题肢与题干要求不相符者不选（抓住题目的关键词，抓住中心意思排除干扰项），本题可排除A；3．因果相悖者不选（一看是否存在因果关系，二要主意因果关系是否颠倒）；4．题肢和题干间接联系者也就是通常所说的二级延伸不选（抓住题干的本质）；5．题肢与题干外延不相符者不选（看懂内涵的同时，掌握外延的规定性）6．题肢和题干矛盾者不选（筛选正确的题肢）；7．题肢与题干相重复者不选（读透题干问的方向及侧重点）；8．正误相混者，即题肢中既有正确的部分也有不正确的部分，不选（仔细读完题肢，小心陷井）；9．反向选择题中正确者不选（认真审题）；10．题干要求单一者（如带有核心、根本、关键、最主要、中心为字眼），有些题肢即使能在题干中得到体现，但如果不符合题干单一性的要求，也不能选。

Here you have national parks, historic sites, shining and quiet beachesall in one place. Sydney’s Great Coastal Walk runs all the way from Barrenjoey in the north to Royal National Park in the south and takes an unbelievable seven days to complete. However, if you’re not up to doing the full walk, there are many dif ferent parts of the walk that you can do right in the city itself. Walking from the city’s famous Bondi Beach to the sweeping curve(大半径曲线）of Brone Beach takes just an hour, which takes in some top sceneries.Great Ocean Walk, AustraliaThe Great Ocean Walk covers 104km along Victoria’s famous Great Ocean Road, located on the southern coast of Australia, from the holiday town Apollo Bay to the splendid Twelve Apostles. The Twelve Apostles are the area’s famous stone landmarks which stand out like the giants from the sea. The walk passes through a range of landscapes and sights, from national park, famous surfing spots and deserted beaches, to wild coastlines, waterfalls, lush(茂盛的）forests, historic lighthouses. Day walks and shorter three-hour walk such as The Wreck Beach Walk or the Lighthouse Cemetery and Lookout Walk can also be enjoyed.So next time when you’re looking for a beach holiday, don’t just think about the holiday towns and the sand, but consider a more active sun holiday.

When I signed up for computer programming, I expected to learn about coding (编程））. However, what I didn’t expec t was that I would also learn how to build strong friendships.Just before I went there, I didn’t know what to expect in the school, feeling quite at a loss. A sense of uncertainty about my future was flooding over me. On the first day, the students awkwardly moved around at the opening ceremonies. Although it was embarrassing to admit, I hadn’t been able to succeed in my friendship in the past because I was too focused on myself. This time, I got rid of the desire to share personal stories and instead was eager to ask others about themselves.After sunset on the second night, I heard three girls trying to recall theschedule for an upcoming museum trip. After effective communication, I knew they were Lucy, Megan and Avery. Lucy and Avery were in environmental science, and Megan was studying mathematics.We had a lot in common among us four, such as our love for movies, which strengthened our friendships. Meanwhile, we were able to introduce each other to new activities. Lucy introduced us to anime(日本动漫）. Enthusiastically, Megan encouraged us to play tennis. Avery and I kept the other two motivated to work out at the gym. The fact that none of us was particularly skilled with equipment resulted in shared laughter almost every day.After four weeks, I left with the ability to successfully code an educational computer game. More importantly, I also left with knowledge about the code of friendship--- the fact that I could make more friends in a month by showing interest in them than I could in a year by trying to attract others’ interest in me.41.The author went to the Governor’s School to originally learn how to ___________.A. code computer programsB. make friends with othersC. develop her personal hobby and interestD. share her personal stories with others42.The author had failed in her friendship mainly because _____________.A. she was embarrassed to stay with her friendsB. she cared little about othersC. she longed to know about othersD. she focused her attention on coding43.What can welearn from thepassage? 44.According to the author, the success code of friendship is _____________.A. getting others to be interested inherB. adding more laughter to others’ lifeC. keeping others motivated by storiesD. becoming more interested in others45.What does the author tell us in the passage?A. Her interest in the Governor’sSchoolB. A close relation with threeschoolmatesC. Her experience in the Governor’sSchoolD. Big changes in her studyCIn some islands north of Scotland, if head lice (头虱）left their host, he became sick and feverish. Therefore, sick people had lice put in their hair intentionally. There was a method in their madness: As soon as the lice had settled in again, the patient improved. The story explains the confusion of cause and effect. If the lice leave the sick host, it is because he has a fever and they simply get hot feet, and when the fever breaks, they return. Such false causally (假因果关系）misleads us every day.Consider the headline: “ Fact: Women Who Use Shampoo XYZ Eve ry Day Have Stronger Hair.” It says very little--- least of all, that the shampoo makes your hair stronger. It might simply be the other way round: women with strong hair tend to use Shampoo XYZ--- and perhaps that’s because it says “especially for thick h air” on the bottle.Another example: Scientists found that long periods in the hospital did harm to patients. But, clearly, patients who are dismissed immediately are healthier than those who must stay on for treatment.A. Avery studied mathematics in the schoolB. The four girls had a wonderful time at schoolC. Megan studied environmental scienceD. The four girls had nothing in commonRecently I read that students get better grades at school if their homes contain many books. This study was surely a shot in the arm for booksellers, but it was also false causality. This simple truth is that educated parents tend to value their children’s education more than uneducated ones do, and they often have more books at home. In short, a dust-covered copy War and Peace alone isn’t going to influence anyone’s grades; what counts is parents’ education levels, as well as their genes.There was also the supposed relationship between the birth rate and the numbers of stork(鹤））pairs in Germany. Both were in decline, and if you plot (描绘）them on a graph(曲线图）， the two lines of development from 1965 to 1987 appeared almost the same. Does this mean the storks actually bring babies? Obviously not. This was purely accidental connection.In conclusion: Connection is not causality. Take a closer look at linked events: Sometimes what is presented as the cause turns out to be the effect, or just the other way round, and sometimes there is no link at all--- just like with storks and babies.46.According to the first paragraph, people in some islands north of Scotland _______.A. found a way to get rid of head liceB. used an effective method to keep fitC. made head lice a part of their lifeD. died due to infections with head lice47.Which is an example of false causality?A. Women with strong hair tend to use a certain shampooB. The birth rate and the stork population are connectedC. Longer periods in the hospital benefit patientsD. Lice can make a person sick and feverish48.The underlined phrase “ a shot in the arm” in Paragraph 4 means _________.A. painB. defeatC. guidanceD. encouragement49.According to the author, students get better grades probably because ___________.A. their home are full of booksB. they have read War and PeaceC. their educated parents valueD. their parents are successful education booksellers50.We can draw the conclusion from the passage that ____________.A. connection are pure accidentsB. cause and effect are interdependentC. connections are mostly cause andeffectD. linked events may turn out to beunrelatedDI read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But whereare we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient societylike ours? To understand the issue, let’s take a look at three types of “waits”.The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubtthe most annoying of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink (洗碗池) as an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it’s full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counterand onto your socks. This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires abit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait. Directions are very specific. “Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer three minutes, remove from heat, let stand five minutes.” I havemy doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires patience.Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This typeof wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.Turning one’s life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optimists among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesn’t come to rely on it, wishingfor a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time you’re standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle sou p that you’ll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, don’t be desperate.You’re probably just as busy as the next guy.51. While doing a Watched-Pot Wait, we tend to ______.A. keep ourselves busyB. get absent-mindedC. grow anxiousD. stay focused52. What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait?A. The Forced Wait requires some self-control.B. The Forced Wait makes people passive.C. The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions.D. The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain.53. What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait?A. It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait.B. It doesn’t always bring the desired result.C. It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait.D. It doesn’t give people faith and hope.54. What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting?A. Take it seriously.B. Don’t rely on others.C. Do something else.D. Don’t lose heart.55. The author supports his view by________.A. exploring various causes of “waits”B. describing detailed processes of “waits”C. analyzing different categories of “waits”D. revealing frustrating consequences of “waits” 四、阅读表达：In the years of my growing up, Dad was strict with me. He made sure I made my bed and did my homework. He would call in advance to make sure there was no alcohol at the party. I got so angry with him for laying down the law. I would scream, “I hate you!” Dad would yell back, “Good! I don’t care!” Deep down I knew he did.One time at a party, I drank too much alcohol and got so sick. I said, “Call my dad.”Next thing, Dad was carrying me to the car. I woke up the next morning, thinking I would definitely be criticised. As expected, I got a roasting, but I now understand why I needed discipline.Dad was 29 when he got his big roles in films. I had an early start at the age of nine with a role in a 1990s TV series, but it wasn’t until I finished film studies that I pursued my career as an actress. Like those early days for Dad, I faced lots of rejections. Working in such a c ompetitive industry, I’ve sometimes thought, “I can’t do this anymore.”Once, after a trip to Hollywood, I returned to Australia so depressed and spent months in my bedroom painting, listening to Eckhart Tolle’s music and trying to find myself again. D ad sat me down and said, “Alice, I know it’s hard, but it’s all about persistence (坚持不懈).”Now I get to work with Dad a lot, which I love. We are both passionate about acting, which comes from us being so interested in people. If it weren’t for Dad, I wouldn’t be where I am today. He’s my biggest fan, and when you have that in your life you can go a long way.56. What rules did Alice’s father set for her when she was growing up?
