ATraditional businessmen feel worried that growing e-commerce will reduce their share of the market.According to a survey, 90% of some people’s purchas es are made on the computer. As they find that by being able to go online and choose the things that they need , and have them delivered right to their doorsteps, they could no longer be bothered with driving, the crowds, the noise of that, and they usually get a better selection.Cornell University Marketing Professor, Edward McLaughlin says traditional stores can keep their customers by offering goods like clothing, which customers may want to see and try on before purchasing, as well as items that are difficult to ship. He says some traditional stores are also pleasing customers with services that set up or repair computers and other electronic equipment.Traditional stores also offer a social experience that some shoppers enjoy. There is still a lot of e motion in the buying decision that takes place. Oftentimes, you need that last sense of “this is exactly what I want” before you part with money. And you can’t always get that online. It’s a rather cold process.As more and more people have Internet access and smart-- phones, online commerce is likely to continue its growth here in the United States and in other countries.61. Traditional businessmen feel upset because ________.A. consumers can get a better selection by shopping onlineB. more and more people purchase things on the computerC. people like to have their goods delivered to their houseD. growing online sales will cut their share of the market62. According to Mclaughlin, some traditional stores are keeping customers by ________.A. providing customers with extra servicesB. inviting customers to try on clothingC. delivering goods to each doorstepD. repairing computers and electronics only63. From the 4th paragraph, we know that ________.A. online shoppers tend to be cold to each otherB. the process of shopping online is full of emotionC. some shoppers like the social climate in traditional storesD. making buying decisions in traditional shops is difficult64. What is the author's attitude towards the future online commerce? .A. DoubtfulB. OptimisticC. SympatheticD. ConcernedBYoung children are trusting of commercial advertisements in the media, and advertisers have sometimes been accused of taking advantage of this trusting outlook. The Independent Television Commission ，regulator of television advertising, has criticized advertisers for “misleadingness”，in an effort to control advertisers’ use of techniques that make it difficult for children to judge the true size, action ，performance, or construction of a toy.Fantasy is one of the common techniques in advertising that could mislead young audience. In children's advertising, advertisers are more likely to include fantasy than advertisements aimed at adults. In a content analysis of Canadian television, the author Stephen Kline observed that nearly all commercials for character toys featured fantasy play. Children have strong imaginations and the use of fantasy brings their ideas to life, but children may not be adept enough to realize that what they are viewing is unreal. Fantasy situations are frequently used to attract children's attention, particularly in food advertising. Advertisements for breakfast have been found to be especially fond of fantasy techniques. Generally, there is uncertainty as to whether very young children can distinguish between fantasy and reality in advertising.The use of pop stars such as singers and movie stars is common in advertising. The intention is for the positive qualities of the popular to be transferred to the advertised product and for the two to become linked in audience's mind. In children's advertising ，the pop stars are often vivid figures from popular cartoons. In recent years, the role of pop stars in advertising to children has often been combined with the concept of host selling. Host selling involves advertisements with regular programming in a way that makes it difficult to distinguish one from the other. Host selling occurs ，for example, when a children's show about a cartoon lion contains an advertisement in which the same lion promotes a breakfast. The psychologist Dale Kunkel shows that the practice of host selling has reduced children's ability to distinguish between advertising and the program material. Meanwhile，he also shows some other tricky advertisements.65. What can we learn about the fantasy technique from the passage?A. It is especially used in advertising toys.B. Children are likely to mistake it for reality.C. Young children are quite aware of its tricks.D. It makes it hard for children to judge how much a toy costs.66. The underlined word “adept” in the passage is closest in meaning to _____A. responsibleB. patientC. skillfulD. curious67. In an advertisement，a cartoon lion is used for _____A. the promotion of a productB. the lovely nature of a lionC. the fantasy of a lionD. the regular program68. What would the following paragraph most probably be about?A. Development in advertisingB. Misleading advertised toys.C. Children and advertisementD. Another ill technique for advertising.CAs the thrill of the London 2012 Olympic Games fade, the focus now is on the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil. Over the next two years it will also host the FIFA Confederation Cup in June 2013 and the FIFA World Cup in 2014. Brazil has taken steps to increase the economic profits by safeguarding the interests of broadcasters and funders.In 2009, the Brazil passed the Brazilian Olympic Act and the so-called World Cup Law in 2012, which are designed to fight ambush(隐性）marketing and digital piracy(盗版)，and regulate advertising in and around official sporting sites.The Brazilian World Cup Law goes much further in protecting the interests of right owners than Brazil’s pre-existing legislation(立法）in this area, the so-called Pele Law. For example, the World Cup Law bans anyone but the official broadcaster from using images of events. However, it does permit use for non-commercial purposes. It also requires that FIFA or its local broadcaster provide highlights up to two hours after each match. Other items allow protection of trademarks associated with the event and ban unauthorized association with the event’s marks.The Pele Law permits, as an information right, both access to sporting sites and the use of images(影像）for journalistic purposes. It is, however, unlikely that such an understanding will be gained in relation to the World Cup Law which governs access to and use of images specifically in relation to the FIFA World Cup 2014. Although the Brazilian Olympic Act regulates the IP(知识产权）relating to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, it remains silent on broadcasting rights.Whatever the benefits, it seems clear that IP rights in general, and broadcasting rights in particular, will continue to play a key role in bringing in funds. If past experience is anything to go by, Rio 2016 not only promises new sporting achievements, but also the breaking of new records in terms of profits produced from the sale of broadcasting and other media rights.69 .The 2016 Olympics ______A. promises to break many recordsB. will experience challenges in fundingC.promises to be the greatest in historyD. will bring great benefits to Brazil70.The World Cup Law and the Pele Law are different in that ______.A. the former is stricter than the latter in protecting IP rightsB. the World Cup Law allows the media more freedom to use the imagesC. the former applies to advertising while the latter marketingD. the Pele Law bans mo re unauthorized association with the event’s marks71. The writer introduces the World Cup Law ______.A. by comparisonB. in order of importanceC. by surveyD. in order of time72.The passage mainly talks about ______.A. the advances that Brazil has made in hosting sporting eventsB. the efforts that Brazil is making to protect the interests of IP right ownersC. the preparations that Brazil is making for the 2016 OlympicsD. the challenges that Brazil is facing in investment to fund the sporting eventsDThanks to the I nterwebs , we can click and click and have a good laugh! We’ll have everything you need to howl like a monkey and bark like a seal. So, click on, Internauts, and be ready!1. traces its origins to the print magazine Cracked, which started in 1958. But Cracked has soon grown to become the most popular comedy site on the Internet, drawing over a billion views in 2010. The website also runs in a wide range, featuring photo editing contests, sketches and films, and reader contests. For laughs, is your one-stop shop!2. Funny or DieAny website owned by Will Ferrell would already be in the running - but the debut video, The Landlord, made Funny or Die a must-click website. Funny or Die also manages to remain fresh and interesting by being so interactive, allow viewers to choose which videos stay and which ones die. The website has even made the big time, partnering with HBO (Home Box Office) in a hopefully plentiful combination of the minds between the best that TV and the Internet both have to offer.3. CollegeHumorWe have trouble sitting down for a 90 seconds, much less 90 minutes! CollegeHumor seems incredibly skillful at catering to(迎合)such an ADD-riddled audience. Like Funny or Die, CollegeHumor made it to the big time, though the CollegeHumor Show only ran for a single season on MTV. The site also serves as the big sales store for T-shirts, which answers the question, “Where can I find a Honey Badger T-shirt?”4. 9GAGYou know those black and white photos you’ve been seeing all over your Facebook feed? Well, if you ever wondered where they came from, then you need look no further than 9GAG! And if you’re looking to do some terribly light reading with the click of a finger, then 9GAG is your best bet. Relatively new to the game, 9GAG’s viewer contributions and interactions look to make it an internet player for sometime to come.There you have it, top 4 comedy websites. Every last one is worth a few laughters and a good many clicks.73.What causes the website Funny or Die to enjoy greater success?A. Being interactive with viewers.B. Producing the video “The Landlord”.C. Close partnership with HBO.D. Will Ferrell’s good management.74.The underlined phrase “ADD-riddled audience” may refer to the people who ______.A. are skilled at producing humorB. are crazy about Honey Badger T-shirtsC. take a great interest in funny MTVD. have trouble staying focused for a certain time75.Which statement is true of the four websites?A. Viewer participations make Funny or Die and 9GAG appealing.B. Will Ferrell has a final say in deciding which video to stay.C. became the most visited humor websites in 1958.D. College Humor only collects a program of 90 seconds.第二节：根据短文内容，从从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

高职对口招生考试英语冲刺模拟试题(阅读理解)及答案【六】
高职对口招生考试英语冲刺模拟试题及答案阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
AEven if you are naturally shy, these three tricks will help you to quickly build a new social circle in any new city.1. Take picturesOne of the great things about taking pictures at an event or party is that it gives you an excuse to get in touch with the person later. Everybody loves seeing pictures of themselves, and it’s very easy after taking a picture to say “If you’d like I can email it to you”. This can be the see d that leads to new connections. The next time you hear about a fun event email your new contacts to let them know about it.2. Eat alone in publicYou might feel self-conscious eating by yourself but it has an important benefit: you are much easier to approach when you are alone. People may be afraid of interrupting you or being rude if you are in a conversation with someone else. Bring a book or newspaper to read (this will make you feel less self-conscious). Plus, having an interesting book with you will give others an excuse to start a conversation if they’ve read it.3. Join a class, sports team, or clubYoga, salsa dancing, volleyball, Toastmasters (a public speaking club), a class for work, etc. Take up a new hobby or continue an old one!These are all great places to meet new people, primarily because you will be forced to see the same people over and over again in the class. You will automatically make friends with them if you have a common interest and are forced to see each other again.Tips:* In the beginning, never turn down an invitation from someone, even if it’s something you wouldn’t normally do.* Email your new friends with fun things to do instead of always asking what their plans are. If they have a better plan you can drop yours and join them. This will help establish you as someone who is contributing value instead of just taking it (people want this in a friend).* Don’t let little things in life upset you or be a negative person. People don’t want to be around someone like that!36. ________ can give you an excuse to start new connections.A. Taking pictures of othersB. Eating by yourself in publicC. Reading interesting booksD. Joining group activities37. When having meals, you’d better ________ if you want to make new friends.A. approach others to show conscious friendlinessB. start a conversation with those who have friends asideC. invite others to your apartment to eat togetherD. sit on your own in public places38. According to the text, which of the following is NOT mentioned as an advantage of joining aclass?A. It helps you find out people who share a common interest with you.B. It helps you find out your interest and take up a new hobby.C. It offers an opportunity to meet the same people repeatedly.D. It is a good way to meet new people and make friends in a new city.39. Which of the following pieces of advice is a tip from the text?A. Try to be outgoing and talkative instead of being shy.B. Never turn down an invitation from your friends.C. Offer suggestions on how to spend time together.D. Always give a positive response to any request.40. By writing the text, the author intends to tell us ________.A. why you should change when you move to a new cityB. how you can make new friends in a new cityC. why you should make new friends in a new cityD. how you can keep in touch with strangersBWhen I was 13, my bedroom walls were covered with posters of the Monkees and Beatles. I wrote fan letters and daydreamed about meeting the objects of my affections. I begged my parents to attend every rock concert and watch every TV show featuring my favorite celebrities; my friends and I discussed for hours all the things we would say and do when we met our favourite movie stars and pop singers. I drove my mother crazy ! But after a few years, my obsession stars faded as I matured and gained the confidence to socialize with “real” boys.In the 35 years since I was a teenager, celebrity worship (崇拜) has increased among teens due to the explosion of television celebrity gossip shows, and instant access to celebrity news on the Internet. It’s no wonder that many teens are obsessed with stars when news programs are often filled with entertainment stories and the lives of celebrities.Celebrity worship syndrome (综合征) is now considered a personality disorder. While it is normal for teenagers to follow the lives of their favorite stars, parents should try to monitor everything their child finds interesting. Parents should take action if they suspect a teen is too obsessed with celebrities and showing little interest in school or withdrawing from the family. When teens talk a lot about celebrities and view them as just means of entertainment, this is considered normal celebrity worship. However, when a teenager is obsessed with a star and often expresses a desire to have a close personal relationship with a celebrity or feels they have a special connection to a star, this may be the time for concern. Recent studies have shown that teens who develop an unhealthy obsession with celebrities often suffer from low self confidence and depression. Teens who are overly obsessed with stars often have damaged relationships with their parents.41. The first paragraph is intended to tell us________.A. parents needn’t worry about celebrity worshipB. celebrity worship can cause serious problemsC. it’s normal for a teen to have celebrity worshipD. celebrity worship only exists among teens42. We can learn from the second paragraph that________.A. the media greatly contributes to celebrity worship todayB. the author is surprised at celebrity worshipC. teens today are not so obsessed with celebritiesD. celebrities expose their lives too much43. Parents should become concerned when their children________.A. talk a lot about celebrities with othersB. put up celebrity posters in their bedroomsC. ask to go to their favourite star’s concertD. desire a close personal relationship with their favorite star44. The last paragraph implies that________.A. parents should not care too much about a child’s celebrity worshipB. celebrity worship syndrome can be a serious problem if left overlookedC. children can normally get out of celebrity worship when they are olderD. children with celebrity worship usually have high opinion of themselves45. What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the passage?A. The harm of celebrity worship syndrome.B. More signs of celebrity worship syndrome.C. Wh at to do with children’s celebrity worship syndrome.D. Who will suffer most from celebrity worship syndrome.CA 70-year study of personality suggests that pessimism is a risk factor for early death, especially among men.The study results also indicate that pessimism can be linked to increased risk for sudden death from accidents or violence, according to the report published in the March issue of Psychological Science.Christopher Peterson of the University of Michigan and his colleagues analyzed data from the Terman Life-Cycle Study, which began by studying California public-school children with high IQs in 1921 and followed them through their life. Most of the 1,528 children were teenagers when the study began. Those still living are now in their 80s. In 1936 and 1940, participants were asked to complete a questionnaire designed to obtain information about difficult life events and their effect on overall outlook. One such question was, “What do you regard as your most serious fault of personality or character?”Pessimists were defined as fatalistic(宿命论的)people who tend to blame themselves when things go wrong and who believe that one bad event can ruin the rest of their life. They also tend to expect bad things to happen to them and feel that they have little or no ability to change their situation.Males were more likely than females to be classified as pessimistic. Compared with individuals with a more cheerful and optimistic outlook, pessimists were more likely to die from accidents and violence (including suicide).A pessimistic personality may lead to poor problem-solving ability, social difficulties and risky decision-making. Taken together, these variables put the pessimist at higher risk of untimely(不适时的) death, say the researchers. Such a person is less likely to avoid or escape potentially dangerous situations, the researchers concluded. “A pessimistic way of thinking in which people worry too much about bad events, predicts untimely death decades later,” according to Peterson.46. According to the passage, you may be a pessimistic person, if one failure makes you feel________.A. other people have been unfair to you.B. other people will help you.C. you cannot change a bad situation.D. you can do better next time.47. According to the passage, pessimists may feel all of the following EXCEPT________A. helpless when faced with difficulties.B. cheerful when faced with troubles.C. hopeless when one bad event occurs.D. guilty when things go wrong.48. Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage?A. Pessimists believe that everything in life depends on fate.B. There are more pessimists among women than among men.C. Most pessimists will end up committing suicide.D. All pessimists will eventually die from accidents.49. The Terman Life-Cycle Study is a research program that studies________.A. people over 70 years old.B. people since their childhood.C. pessimistic people over 80 years old.D. only younger people.50.

Dogs and cats have been popular Christmas gifts in the gifts in the UK and Europe for many years. But some people still haven’t quite got the message.The slogan still holds good. Some 105,000 dogs were rounded up by local government last year because they had been abandoned, many of them shortly after the festival season.The main reason given by owners for handing their dogs over to the Dogs Trust is that the dogs need more attention than they can give; behavioral problems and moving home are also reasons given.But Eleanor Silk, the Trust’s communications director, says, “It’s often four or five months after Christmas, in early summer, when owners find that the dog has got too big and too active, or it hasn’t been trained properly and has caused damage around the home.”In any case, some organizations that help pets are quick to point out that if you are serious about getting a puppy(小狗) as a pet, Christmas is not the time to do it. Puppies need to get used to their new surroundings, to be introduced to a routine, and to be looked after like small children.I t’s hard to meet any of these needs at Christmas. What’s more, pulling a puppy out of a Christmas stocking in itself sends the wrong message to children. It encourages children to think of the puppy as a toy, rather than a responsibility.Appreciating what you’re taking on with a dog can be a sobering (清醒的) realization. “For life” means thinking about the effect they’ll have on your life. It also infers you will need to care for the dog for its whole life.51.What would be the best title for the passage?A. Dogs and Cats—the Most Popular Christmas Gifts.B. A pet is for Life, Not just for Christmas.C. How to Take Care of Your Pets over Christmas.D. Let’s Help Those Abandoned Pets52.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a reason for pets to be abandoned?A. Pets spread some diseases.B. Pets damage some things in the house.C. The owners can’t take good care of the pets.D. The owners have to move to other places.53.The underlined words “rounded up” in Paragraph 2 mean “________”.A. given out as giftsB. thrown awayC. g athered into one placeD. raised to make money54. The fifth paragraph mainly tells us________.A. how to take best care of Christmas petsB. the right time to have a puppy as a petC. the reasons why Christmas is not the time to get a petD. the worries about Christmas pets from organizations that help pets55. Why is the author against the idea of putting a dog in the Christmas stocking as a Christmasgift?A. Because these dogs can still cause damage.B. Because children will not take dogs seriously.C. Because children don’t like to have dogs as Christmas gifts.D. Because a Christmas stocking is not big enough to put a dog in.阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分）36-40 A D B C B 41-45 C A D B C 46-50 C B A B D 51-55 B A C C B。

中职英语对口高考复习模拟试题：阅读理解阅读理解(共15 小题；每小题2 分，满分30 分)AI was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise. At the end I said, “ Son, remember: Be slow and steady, and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”“He didn’t have such a wish,”I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance, by pushing on steadily.”Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.”I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’rejust hopeless.61. The writer argued with his son because ______________.A. he liked tortoises while his son liked haresB. they disagreed about whether the tortoise was foolishC. he tried to teach his son a moral lesson but the son had totallydifferent opinionD. he liked the story of the hare and the tortoise while his son didn’t.62. Sonny believed that the tortoise ______________.A. won the race by his own hard workingB. took a risk by agreeing to run a raceC. was not given a fair chance in the raceD. in fact did win the race luckily63. Billy, Tony and Sandy must be_______________.A. boys who were unknown to Sonny’s fatherB. boys who Sonny has run races with beforeC. boys who Sonny has never raced with beforeD. boys who Sonny did not expect to race with again64. The writer thinks that his generation______________.A. are cleverer than Sonny’s generationB. have the same ideas about life as Sonny’s generationC. are more hopeful than Sonny’s generationD. have different ideas about life from Sonny’s generation65. According to the passage, who do you think learnt a lesson? ______________.A. The tortoiseB. SonnyC. The hareD. Sonny’s fatherBSocieties all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits died hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.Many roads and places in Singapore are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries ---- in both the West and the East.Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus ---- obviously named bysome homesick Royal Air Force personnel.Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example, “B ras Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay(马来语). Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, li ke “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent (月牙) because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.66. We learn from Paragraph 1 that _____.A. the government is usually the first to name a placeB. many places tend to have more than one nameC. a ceremony will be held when a place is namedD. people prefer the place names given by the government67. What does the underlined phrase “die hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? ______________.A. Change suddenly.B. Change significantly.C. Disappear mysteriously.D. Disappear very slowly.68. Which of the following places is named after a person? ______________.A. Raffles Place.B. Selector Airbase.C. Piccadilly Circus.D. Paya Lebar Crescent.69. Bras Basah Road is named _______.A. after a personB. after a placeC. after an activityD. by its shape70. What can be inferred from the passage? ______________.A. Some place names in Singapore are the same as in Britain.B. Some places in Singapore are named for military purposes.C. The way Singaporeans name their places is unique.D. Young Singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers.CThe practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smart phone, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的)skill. However, while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful---both in school and in life.Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to know well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said.Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe (转换) “those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “mind’s eye” helps children not o nly to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to spot (发现) spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time.“In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell c hecks,” she said. “But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.”71. What makes writing by hand a thing of the past? ______________.A. The absence of blackboard in classroom.B. The use of new technologies in teaching.C. The lack of practice in handwriting.D. The popular use of smartphones.72. Berninger’s study published in 2009 ___________.A. focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer.B. indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper.C. found that good essays are made up of long sentences.D. discussed the importance of writing speed.73. Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?______________.A. Spelling improves one’s memory of words.B. Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability.C. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.D. Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.74. What does “mind’s eye” in paragraph 5 mean? ______________.A. Window.B. SoulC. Picture.D. Imagination.75. What conclusion could be drawn from the passage? ______________.A. Computers can help people with their choice of words.B. Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.C. Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms.D. Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.阅读理解61-65 CDBDD 66-70.

ADaniel Brown was just five years old when he climbed into the family car and let it roll away down the road. He was only three when he flooded the kitchen.His mother, Angela Brown, is in despair. She is very busy looking after her new baby, a little girl called Laura, as well as Daniel. She told us, “Daniel is so full of curiosity. ”At that moment, we hear a huge crash and then silence. We go upstairs and find Daniel crawling（爬）out of a wardrobe (衣橱) he has pulled over onto the floor, with a book in his hand. “It’s for you Mum, ” he says and looks up at his mum and smiles. Seven-year-old Daniel has a lovely face. He has golden hair, big brown eyes, and a friendly smile. I have to admit that Daniel doesn’t look like a naughty boy.Angela told me all about it. “Once I found him as he was about to put Jasper in the washing machine. ”Jasper, she explained, is the Browns’ dog.“When I asked him why, he said that he thought Jasper was dirty! It’s amazing how one little boy can cause so much trouble. Another time he cut off all the hair of the little girl next door. She was going to attend her sister’s wedding and the neighbours haven’t spoken to us since. ”Angela told me about Daniel’s most expensive crime.“I was about to do the washing up when the baby started crying. Daniel decided to help and filled the kitchen sink with water. When I came in, the water was already flooding the kitchen and was about to flood the hall. The carpet was ruined and had to be replaced. I hope things will get better as he gets older. ”Amazingly, Daniel is quite well behaved in school. This may be because he is rarely bored.

His victim，who picked up the ticket，then claimed the ￡25 000 prize，managed to trace him，and handed over the cash. The robbery happened when maths professor Vinicio Sabbatucci，58，was changing a tyre on an Italian motorway. Another motorist，who stopped “to help”，stole a suitcase from his car and drove off. The professor found the dropped ticket and put it in his pocket before driving home to Ascoli in eastern Italy.Next day，he saw the lottery results on TV and，taking out the ticket，realized it was a winner. He claimed the 60 million lire（里拉）prize. Then he began a battle with his conscience（良心）. Finally，he decided he could not keep the money despite having been robbed. He advertised in newspapers and on radio，saying：“I’m trying to find the man who robbed me. I have 60 million lire for him—a lottery win. Please meet me. Anonymity（匿名）guaranteed. ”Professor Sabbatucci received hundreds of calls from people hoping to trick him into handing them the cash. But there was one voice he recognized—and he arranged to meet the man in a park. The robber，a 35-year-old unemployed father of two，gave back the suitcase and burst into tears. He could not believe what was happening. “Why didn’t you keep the money？”he asked. The professor replied：“I couldn’t because it’s not mine. ”Then he walked off，spurning the thief’s offer of a reward.38. The sentence “Then he began a battle with his conscience. ” in paragraph 2 means all of the following EXCEPT that.A. he knew what he should do as soon as he saw the lottery resultsB. he hesitated about keeping the money for some timeC. he thought for a moment of avenging(报复) himself on the robberD. he gradually realized that honesty is more important than money39. Hundreds of people phoned professor Sabbatucci because they.A. wanted to make fun of himB. hoped to get the moneyC. knew who the robber wasD. lost the lottery ticket40. The word “spurning” in the last sentence can be replaced by.A. acceptingB .claimingC. rejectingD. cancelling41. If the story appears in a newspaper，the best title might be.A. A Thief’s Lucky DayB. A Popular Maths ProfessorC. A Magic LotteryD. A Reward of HonestyDImagine that the genome（基因组）is a book. The book consists of 23 chapters with thousands of stories made up of paragraphs，words and letters on different levels. There are one billion words in the book，which makes it longer than 5 000 volumes the size of this book. or as long as 800 Bibles. If I read the genome out to you at the rate of one word per second for eight hours a day，it would take me a century. If I wrote out the human genome, one letter per millimeter，my text would be as long as the River Danube.(多瑙河) This is an enormous document，a huge volume，a cook book of great length，and it all fits inside the extremely small nucleus（核）of a tiny cell that fits easily upon the head of a pin.（针）The idea of the genome as a book is not，strictly speaking，even a metaphor（比喻）. It is true to a great extent. A book is a piece of digital information，written in one-directional form and defined by a code that translates a small alphabet of signs into a large dictionary of meanings through the order of their groupings. So is a genome. The only complication is that all English books read from left to right while some parts of the genome read from left to right，and some from right to left，though never both at the same time.While English books are written in words of different lengths using twenty-six letters，genomes are written entirely in three-letter words，using only four letters. And instead of being written on flat pages，they are written on long chains of DNA molecules（分子. The genome is a very clever book，because in the right conditions it can both photocopy itself and read itself.42. How do human genomes read according to the passage？A. Only from left to right.B. Only from right to left.C. From both directions at the same time.D. From one direction at a time.43. We can learn from the passage that the human genome.A. is as long as the River DanubeB. can be easily placed on the head of a pinC. is coded with an alphabet of four lettersD. is smart enough to read and take photos of itself44. It can be concluded that the passage is mainly written for.A. specialists in the fieldB. general readersC. natural scientistsD. readers with academic background（学术背景）45. The real purpose of the author’s comparison of the genome to a book is.A. to focus on the differences between the twoB. to lay emphasis on the similarities between the twoC. to simplify the concept of the human genomeD. to give an exact description of the human genome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。

He lived in the country, and came up to work by train. He liked walking from the station to his office unless it was raining, because itgave him some exercise.One morning he was walking along the street when a stranger stopped him and said to him, “You may not remember me, sir, but seven years ago I came to London without a penny in my pockets, I stopped you in this street and asked you to lend me some money, and you lent me £5, because you said you were willing to take a chance so as to give a man a start on the way to success.”Mr. Grey thought for a few minutes and then said, “Yes, I remember you.

People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a ＄10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all!Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studyinghow laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff uses computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake tea cher said, “Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”46. The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to ________.A. use for their schoolworkB. access the InternetC. work at homeD. connect them to libraries47. Why is the word “speak” in the second paragraph in quotation marks?A. They don’t really talk.B. They use the computer language.C. Laptops have speakers.D. None of the above reasons is correct.48. Which of the following is true about Westlake College?A. All teachers use computers.B.1500 students have laptops.C. It is an old college in America.D. Students there can do everything.49.

AMarriages improve after children grow up and move out，according to an academic study, which suggests an “empty nest” is not always a bad thing.Pop ular wisdom has it that parents’ relationships may suffer once their young fly the coop, because they feel they have lost their purpose in life.However, a new study by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, has found that many couples actually feel happier when their children leave home because they are able to enjoy spending time together.In total,123 American mothers born in the 1930s were tracked for 18 years and asked to rate their satisfaction levels shortly after marrying, when they were bringing up babies, once their children reached their teenage years and finally at age 61, when almost all had “empty nests”．Although not all said they were happier in general, most claimed their marriages had improved since their children had left home. Researchers believe this is not just because the spouses were spending more time together, but because they were able to enjoy each other’s company more.One of the participants in the study，which is published in the journal Psychological Science，said：“Once the kids grow up...there’s some of that stress removed...that responsibility removed，so things are a little more relaxed.”Psychologist Sara Gorchoff，who carried out the investigation，said: “The takehome message for couples with young children is ‘hang in there’．” Her coauthor Oliver John added：“Don’t wait until your kids leave home to schedule quality time with your partner.”However, Dr Dorothy Rowe，from the British Psychological Society，said the effects of living in an “empty nest” will depend on the parents’ relationship with their children.“If you’re just waiting for them to leave home so you can get on with your life，then of course you’ll be pleased to see them go,” she said, “But if you’ve built your life around your children you’ll be terribl y lonely.For some parents，their world falls apart when their children leave.”56. It is commonly believed that___________.A. marriages improve after children leave homeB. an “empty nest” is always a happy thingC. parents’ relationships may suffer once t heir young grow up and move outD. parents will be pleased after their children leave home57. When did many couples feel happier according to the study?A. At age 61, when almost all had “empty nests”.B. Shortly after marrying.C. Once their children reached their teenage years.D. When they were bringing up babies.58. Marriages improve after children fly the coop not because___________.A. many couples are able to spend time togetherB. many couples are able to enjoy each other’s companyC. things are a little more relaxedD. many couples needn’t work at allBIn Yemen, you always see one type of vehicle on the road: the water truck.They travel mountain roads and cross deserts to bring Yemenis the goods more valuable than oil.It is one that only the rich can afford, with the supply regularly being cut off.Others must rely on scarce rain or charity to fight thirst.Experts say Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water.The capital, Sanaa, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025，says a report by the World Bank.Hannan, an 18-year-old from Lahej, said that only the rich could prepare for cuts in supply.“In a good week we’ll have a water supply all week but then the following week there wil l be water only for a day or two, ” she said.She and her husband, a factory worker, pay 3,000 riyals (99 yuan) for a week’s supply of water from a touring water truck when the taps run dry.With an income of only 20,000 riyals (660 yuan) a month，this means the family often spend half their money on water.“There are a lot of people who can’t afford it and they have to rely on their neighbors to help，” she said.The average person in Yemen survives on one-fifth of what the World Health Organization considers to be enough water.In Taiz, in the south，tap water is available only once every 45 days.In the mountainous Malhan district in the north，women and children climb a 1,500-m mountain to collect water from a spring, often in the small hours to avoid long queues.Yemen is located in Southwest Asia，bordering the Arabian and Red Sea.Yemeni people have lived on scarce water supplies for thousands of years but that problem has been made serious by conflict in the area，the fast-growing population and the use of water to grow a drug called qat.With one of the world’s highest rates of population growth—3.46 percent, Yemen is the poorest Arab country.The government is considering desalinating (淡化) seawater，but this would be expensive and it may now be too late.The only other solution is to cut down on farming, but that means importing even more food.60. The passage aims to________.A. analyze the reasons why Yemen lacks waterB. suggest some solutions to the water issue in YemenC. present how serious the water problem is in YemenD.encourage the world to help Yemenis who are suffering from water shortages61.When Hannan said that only the rich could prepare for cuts in supply，she meant that________.A. rich people drank more water than the poorB. rich people could buy water from the water trucks if there was a water supply cutC. she had a rich neighbor who often helped her during water supply cutsD. the rich were not affected by water supply cuts62. Which of the following may be a reason why Yemen is short of water?A. The country has had no rain for a long time.B. The population of Yemen is growing fast.C. The government has failed to reduce farming.D. People can’t afford the water from government water trucks.63. The best ti tle for the passage is “________”．A. Never take water for grantedB. The water truck—the commonest sight in YemenC. The first country to run out of water in the worldD. No water for YemenCIt happened to me recently that I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed readingBarack Obama’s Dreams from My Father and how it had changed my views of the current US president.The person I was talking to agreed with me that it was，in his words，“a wonderfully written book”. However，he then proceeded to talk about Mr Obama in a way that suggested he had no idea of his background at all.I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.And it seems that he is not the only one.Clearly two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t.In th e World Book Day survey，Dreams from My Father is at number 9.The survey lists top ten books，and various authors，which people have lied about reading.As I’m not one to lie too often，I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire ten books.But I am pleased to say that I have read the book at number one，George Orwell’s1984.I think it’s absolutely outstanding.Asked why they lied，the most common reason was to impress someone they were speaking to.This could be difficult if the conversation became more in-depth!The World Book Day survey also has some other interesting information in it.It shows that many people lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen，the Bronte sisters，Charles Dickens and so on.But when asked which authors they actually enjoy，they named J．K.Rowling，Jilly Cooper，and Stephen King (ah，the big sellers，in other words)．Forty-one percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story.So which books have you lied about reading—if any—and which is your favourite?64. The main reason why people lie about reading is to________.A. make fun of the listenerB. impress the listenerC. please the listenerD. interest the listener65. The underlined word“proceeded” in the passage probably means “________”.A. wantedB. happenedC. continuedD. stopped66. What does the World Book Day survey show?A. Nearly half of the people surveyed didn’t read through a whole classical book.B. People don’t like Dreams from My Father and George Orwell’s 1984.C. Few people lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen.D. People usually enjoy reading books by Charles Dickens.67. What is the best title for the passage?A. Are You a Book Liar?B. Readers Are All LiarsC. World Book DayD. Dreams from My FatherDOn October 12, 1989, some Chinese scientists were working at the computers to look for information they needed. Sudd enly they saw a lot of very bright spots crossing the computers’s screens. At the same time the computers were working much slower. To find out what was happening they stopped their work to check some parts of the computers. To their horror, they found out that most of their stored information was got rid of by computer viruses ! Obviously all these computers had been infected by computer viruses.It is said that the computer viruses were made by a group of young men fond of playing tricks. They all had excellent education. They created the viruses just to show their intelligence . These kinds of computer viruses are named Jerusalem（耶路撒冷）Viruses. These viruses can stay in computers for a long time. When the time comes they will attack the computers by lowering the functions , damaging their normal programs or even getting rid of all the information.We now come to know that Jerusalem Viruses often attack computers on Fridays and that they are spreading to a lot of computers. Among the countries that suffered computer viruses last year are Britain, Australia, Switzerland and the U.S. But fill now , how to get rid of the terribleviruses remains a problem.68. The group of young men created the virus to________.A. damage the computersB. test their abilityC. tell the world that they were intelligentD. play a trick on operators of the computers69.

APerfume (香水) has been in existence for a long time. These days, certain perfumes are considered comparable to great works of art. Here are a few of the most famous perfumes in history.Chanel No.5This perfume is probably the best-selling scent (气味) in the history of fragrance (香水). Created by Ernst Beaux for Coco Chanel in 1921, it has been described as “the world’s most legendary fragrance”, and remains the company’s most famous perfume.ShalimarJacques Guerlain created this vanilla (香草) fragrance in 1925. The perfume takes its name from the Garden of Shalimar, which was built by Emperor Shah Jehan for one of his wives. It was an immediate hit in 1925 and is still extremely popular today. JoyJoy is famous for having been the most expensive perfume in the world at one point. It was created in 1930 by Henri Alméras for Jean Patou to lift the bad mood that had swept over the world after the 1929 stock market crash.L’Air duTempsFrancis Farbon created Nina Ricci’s L’Air du Temps in 1948. The fragrance is known for its spicy (香的) carnation (康乃馨) and gardenia (栀子) scents as well as its beautiful crystal (水晶的) bottle (designed by Lalique).EternityCalvin Klein’s second perfume was created by Sophia Grojsman in 1988. Known for its light, flowery scent, the perfume was listed in the Fragrance Hall of Fame in2003. It is recommended for daytime wear.AngelThis wildly popular perfume was created in 1992 by Olivier Cresp for Thierry Mugler. The perfume was an instant success. The perfume has often been described as “delicious”, owing to its chocolatey (巧克力味的) scent. The perfume comes in beautiful star-shaped bottles.

In the newspaper.C. In a travel magazine.D. In a fashion magazine.BWhat’s the meaning of “dark horse”? It’s someone who wins when no one expects it.Han Xiaopeng took China’s first gold on snow. He became an Olympic “darkhorse” by winning the gold medal in men’s freestyle aerial skiing(自由式滑雪空中技巧) at Turin in Italy. He made two almost perfect jumps for the highest score. Han had never won a world gold medal before, let alone(更不用说) in the Olympics!“I never thought this would happen,” said the 23-year-old. “I feel like I’m in a dream.” It’s China’s second gold medal at the Turin Olympics. But more important, Han’s gold was the country’s first ever in a snow sport. In 2002, China’s Yang Yang won the gold for speed skating at the winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, US.That Han’s win was unexpected doesn’t mean that he didn’t work hard.Han grew up in Jiangsu Province. Before he started his training on snow, he used to be an acrobat(杂技演员) at a circus. In 1995, a coach found his talent(才能). The coach, Yang Er’qi, said Han had the agility(灵活性) and courage to be a ski jumper. When Yang first took the 12-year-old to northern China, the boy couldn’t swim, skate or ski. But he wasn’t afraid of the high platform(跳台) and kept on training.Han almost left the sport after hurting his knee months before the Salt Lake Games. In that Olympics he only got 24th. “I was hopeless at that time, but my family and the coach stood firmly(坚强地) behind me, helping me through,” he recalled. Han Xiaopeng worked so hard that he won the gold medal in the Olympics at last. Because of his success, more and more people in China are becoming interested in skiing. We are proud of him and we hope he will have another big success in the next winter Olympics.41. What does ‘dark horse’ mean? It means _____________.A. a horse which is darkB. someone who is unexpected to winC. a horse which likes the darkD. someone whose win is expected42. Where did Han Xiaopeng take China’s first gold on snow?A. In ChinaB. In Italy.C. In America.D. In Australia.43. What made the coach, Yang Er’qi, choose Han Xiaopeng to be a ski jumper?A. He had enough courage though he was only 12 years old.B. He was born in the south of China and liked sports on snow.C. He had the agility and wasn’t afraid of the high platform.D. He had the talent and he had won a world gold medal before.44. Which of the following sentences is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. He insisted on competing though hurting his knee in the gameB. He made two almost perfect jumps and got the highest score.C. Someone had won the gold before Han Xiaopeng at the winter Olympics.D. He never gave up even though he had faced many difficulties.45. What is the best title for this passage?A. A Wonderful MatchB. A Dark Horse at the Winter OlympicsC. A Hopeful Snow GameD. An Exciting Skiing RaceCIdeas about polite behavior are different from one culture to another. Some societies. such as America and Australia for example, are mobile and very open.People here change jobs and move house quite often. As a result. they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time. and they need to get to know people quickly. So it's normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met. and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal.On the other hand there are more crowded and less mobile societies wherelong-tenn relationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican business person, for example. will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.To Americans. both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first. On the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it, it's no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don't want to answer.Cross-cultural differences aren't just a problem for travelers. but also for the flights that carry them. All flights want to provide the best service. but ideas about good service are different from place to place. This can be seen most clearly in the way that problems are dealt with.Some societies have 'universalist' cultures. These societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way.'Particularist' societies. on the other hand. also have rules, but they are less important than the society's unwrinen ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person. So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person.This difference can cause problems. A traveler from a particularist society, India. is checking in for a flight in Germany. a country which has a universalist culture. The Indian traveler has too much luggage, but he explains that he has been away from home for a long time and the suitcases are full of prescnts for his family. He expects that the check-in official will understand his problem and Will change the rules for him. The check-in official explains that if he was allowed to have too much luggage. it wouldn't be fair to the other passengers. But the traveler thinks this is unfair. because the other passengers don't have his problem.46. Often moving from one place to another makes people like Americarts and AustraliansA. like traveling betterB. easy to communicate withC. difficult 1o make rcal friendsD. have a long-term relationship with their neighbors47. People like Malaysians prefer to associate with thoseA. who will tell them everything of their ownB. who want to do business with themC. they know quite wellD. who are good at talking48. A person from a less mobile society will feel it_____ when a stranger keeps talking to him or her, and asking him or her questions.A. boringB. friendlyC. normalD. rough49. Which of the following is true about "particularist societies"?A. There is no rule for people to obey.B. People obey the society's rules completely.C. No one obeys the society's ruies though they have.D. The society's rules can be changed with different persons or situations.50. The writer of the passage thinks tbat the Indian and the German have different ideas about rules because of differentA. interestsB. habits and customsC. culturesD. ways of lifeDOld people are always saying that the young are not what they were. The same comment is made from generation to generation and it is always true. It has never been truer than it is today. The young are better educated. They have a lot more money to spend and enjoy more freedom. They grow up more quickly and are not so dependent on their parents. They think more for themselves and do not blindly accept the life goals of their elders. Events which the older generation remembers vividly are nothing more than past history. This is as it should be. Every new generation is different from the one before. Today the difference is very noticeable indeed.The old always believe that they know best for the simple reason that they have been around a bit longer. They don’t like to feel that their values are being questioned or threatened. And this is exactly what the young are doing. Wouldn’t people work best if they were given complete freedom and responsibility? And what about clothing? Who said that all the men in the world should wear dull grey suits and very short haircuts? Who said that human differences can best be solved through normal politics or by violent means? Why have the older generation so often used violence to solve their problems? Why are they so unhappy and guilty in their personal lives, so occupied with mean ambitions and the desire to collect more and more wealth? Haven’t the old lost touch with all that is important in life?These are not questions the older generation can shrug off lightly. Their record over the past forty years or so hasn’t been exactly spotless. Traditionally, the younghave turned to their elders for guidance. Today, the situation might be opposite. The old—if they are prepared to admit it—could learn a thing or two from their children. One of the biggest lessons they could learn is that enjoyment is not wrong. Enjoyment is a principle one could apply to all aspects of life. It is surely not wrong to enjoy your work and enjoy your free time. It is surely not wrong to live in the present rather than in the past or future. This emphasis on the present is only to be expected because the young have grown up under the shadow of the bomb: the constant threat of complete annihilation (灭亡). This is just what the older generation has passed down to them.51. Which of the following about the young is NOT mentioned in the article?A. Better educated.B. Richer.C. Independent.D. Hard-working52. Why do old people always think they know best?A. Because they have been around the young for a longer time.B. Because they have experienced more than the young.C. Because they hate their values being questioned by the young.D. Because they think the young should follow their lifestyle.53. From the questions in Paragraph 2, we can learn that the young generation ______.A. feel doubtful about the elder’s beliefsB. are not happy with their present situationC. prefer to live with more freedomD. think they know best of the value of life54. What is the probable meaning of the underlined expression “shrug off” in Paragraph 3?A. askB. take offC. ignoreD. put off55. What’s the biggest lesson the old can learn from the young generation according to the article?A. We must learn to forget the pastB. Enjoyment is a principle of life.C. One can work best if given full freedomD. Life is full of questions.阅读理解36-55ACBCD BBCAB BCADC DBACB。
