AMoods, say the experts, are emotions that tend to become fixed, in influencing one’s outlook for hours, days or even weeks. That’s great if your mood is a pleasant one, but it will be a problem if you are sad, anxious, angry or simply lonely.Perhaps one of the best ways to deal with such moods is to talk them out: sometimes, though, there is no one to listen. Modern pharmacology (药理学) offers an abundance of antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs. What many people don’t realize, however, is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drug approaches to make you loose from an unwanted mood. These can be just as useful as drugs, and have the added benefit of being nonpoisonous. So next time you feel out of sorts, don’t head for the drug store-try the following approach. Of all the mood-altering self-help techniques, aerobic (有氧健身的) exercise seems to be the most efficient cure for a bad mood. “If you could keep the exercise, you’d be in high spirits,” says Kathryn Lance, author of Running for Health and Beauty. There is obviously a link between physical activity and mood changes.Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that make exercise compare favorable to drugs as a mood-raiser. Physical exertion (努力) such as housework, however, does little, probably because it is not intensive enough, and people usually do it unwillingly. The key is aerobic exercise-running, cycling, walk, swimming or other repetitive and sustained a session three to five times a week.1. he problem of talking bad moods out is that _____.A. it proves to be ineffectiveB. sometimes there is noaudienceC. it reveals people’s privacyD. it proves to be a badnonpoisonous2. The underlined word “ antidepressants” in Paragraph 2 Probably means____.A. a drug that relieves depressB. a drug that makespeople sadC. a drug that gives people better sleepD. a drug that isnonpoisonous3. What does the author prefer as a mood-raiser?A. Modern drugs.B. Talking them out.C. Aerobic exercise.D.housework..4. The minimum (最少) length of aerobic exercise a week is ______ according to the passage.A.15 minutesB. 60 minutesC. 100 minutesD. 160 minutes 1．B 细节理解题。

Whether she wantsto or not, she's ready to start each day between1:30 and 3:00 a.m."I'm wide awake and ready to clean thehouse," the 49-year-old woman said. "I don'tneed a cup of coffee to get going, not at all. Butbetween 4:00 and 5:00 p.m. you might have to nudge (轻推) me with an elbow."Middlebrook suffers from what is knownas Familial Advanced Sleep Phase Syndrome, or FASPS. Her body's clock is out of sync (同步) with the sleep-wake rhythm, which most ofthe world lives by. She goes to bed each nightbetween 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. and wakes in theearly hours of the morning."The result is that you can feel very lonely," Middlebrook said. “Who wants to have a party at three in the morning? Nobody I know, and I don’t want to go to the local bar to see who’s still there.〞About three-tenths of the world’s population lives like this, including two of Middlebrook’s sisters, her daughter, and her mother. “Their whole clock is shifted,〞said Fu Yinghui, a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco.In the science journal Nature, Fu and his colleagues reported a newly-discovered mutation 〔变异〕of a single gene that they say causes FASPS.There are more than a dozen genes thatcontrol the human body clock, according to Fu.That clock controls a variety of physical and behavioral cycles. These include fluctuations (波动) in heart rate, blood pressure, and the immune system. Collectively, these cycles are known as circadian rhythms (生理节奏) and are generally tied to the 24-hourday-night cycle.1. What is Susan Middlebrook's problem?A. She can't get enough sleep.B.

McKay was included in a list of university alumni （校友） who had served during the First World War, but his name was unfamiliar to Broad, a specialist in military history. Out of curiosity, Broad spent hours at the local archives （档案馆） in a fruitless search for information on McKay. Tired and discouraged, he finally gave up. On his way out, Broad’s glance happened to fall on an exhibiting case showing some old newspapers. His eye was drawn to an old picture of a young man in a rugby uniform. As he read the words beside the picture, he experienced a thrilling realization. “After looking for him all day, there he was, staring up at me out of the exhibiting case,” said Broad. Excited by the find, Broad asked his students to continue his search. They combed old newspapers and other materials for clues. Gradually, a picture came into view.Captain Alfred Edwin McKay joined the British Royal FlyingCorps in 1916. He downed ten enemy planes, outlived his entire squadron （中队） as a WWI flyer, spent some time as a flying instructor in England, then returned to the front, where he was eventually shot down over Belgium and killed in December 1917. But there’s more to his story. “For a brief time in 1916 he was probably the m ost famous pilot in the world,” says Broad. “He was credited with downing Oswald Boelcke, the most famous German pilot at the time.” Yet, in a letter home, McKay refused to take credit, saying that Boelcke had actually crashed into another German plane.Mc Kay’s war records were destroyed during a World War II air bombing on London — an explanation for why he was all but forgotten.But now, thanks to the efforts of Broad and his students, a marker in McKay’s memory was placed on the university grounds in Nov ember 2007. “I found my eyes filling with tears as I read the word ‘deceased’ （阵亡）next to his name,” said Corey Everrett, a student who found a picture of Mckay in his uniform. “This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us, but instead of finishing his time at Western, he chose to fight and die for his country.”51. What made Professor Broad continue his search for more information on McKay?A. A uniform of McKay.B. A footnote about McKay.C. A book on McKay.D. A picture of McKay.52. What did the students find out about McKay?A. He trained pilots for some time.B. He lived longer than other pilots.C. He died in the Second World War.D. He was downed by the pilot Boelcke.53. McKay’s flying document s were destroyed in .A. BelgiumB. GermanyC. CanadaD. England54. We can learn from the last paragraph that McKay .A. preferred fight to his studyB. went to war before graduationC. left a picture for Corey EverrettD. set an example for his fellow students55. What is the text mainly about?A. The research into war history.B. The finding of a forgotten hero.C. The pilots of the two world wars.D. The importance of military studies.BEvery object tells a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful images. Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually makes them so extraordinary. Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glanc e it does not look like much. It is a woman’s shoe of a style popular in the 1890s. But what is unique(独特的) about this shoe is where it was found. It was discovered on the Checkout Pass, the famous trail used by the people seeking gold in Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there is not known. Was it perhaps dropped by accident as the woman climbed up the 1500 stairs carved outface? Or did she throw away goods that she didn’t need in order to travel lighter?Over 100, 000 people with “gold fever” made this trip hoping to become millionaires. Few of them understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wildness. Unprepared for such a dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure to the cold weather.The Canadian government finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry their supplies in backpacks(背包) each weighing up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to get everything to the top and over the pass. Whoever dropped the shoe must have been a brave and determined woman. Perhaps she was successful and made it to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat. No one will ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the 19th century.56. Which of the following is right?A. it was found on a famous trailB. it was an important clue to life in the pastC. it at one time belonged to a VIPD. it was a fashionable shoe at that time57.

The scientific and medical communities are very excited about the chances genetic research provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging(延长) human life. But those communities and policymakers also are careful about the scientific door they are opening as the project uncovers the mysteries of life.For the last few years, the genetic advances in the developing field of biotechnology(生物技术) have provides material for all kinds of work, but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets of the human genetic code have opened a world of possibilities for human health, as well as for the popular imagination.While European and Japanese researchers are making rapid progress in decoding(解码) human DNA, the leading organization for genetic research is in the United States, which began in 1990, is “unlocking the code” of the human body to learn how to defeat fatal diseases . Already, the Human Genome Project has become widely known and praised for finding the genes connected with terrible diseases as yet, and making progress toward separating the genes that show a sign of breast cancer or AIDS.Once these genes are found and studied, researchers can develop new ways to attack infections and genetic diseases. Medical companies are very interested in mapping the human genome, as they expect to develop a lot of new drugs for these illnesses.61. Why did the scientists work hard at mapping the human genome?A. Because the human genome can help us live longer.B. Because they wanted to be better known than others.C. Because the human genome can provide a lot of moneyD.

What’ the best title of the passage?A. unlocking genetic codeB. the genes' discoveryC. human genome’s scienceD. the genes and the scientistsDGeorge Markov was a famous writer in Bulgaria. In 1969 he suspected that he was going to be imprisoned or killed because one of his plays was regarded as being an attack on leaders of Bulgaria. Markov managed to reach England and got a job with the BBC, writing something in Bulgaria.Some of the BBC programmes were critical of life in Bulgaria. Perhaps as a result of this, Markov received an anonymous telephone call warning him that he would be killed. In September 1978, Markov stopped his car in London and started to walk to his office. When he was passing a bus line, a man in the line seemed to drop his umbrella accidently. Markov felt a sudden pain in the leg.When Markov reached his office, he spoke about the matter to a friend. A few hours later, he began to feel hot. He was sent to hospital and died four days later. The doctors examined his body, and they were puzzled about the cause of his death. Scientists were asked to help and they found a tiny metal pellet in Markov’s leg. The scientists believed that the two holes in it must contain an unknown poison in them.A few weeks before Markov was “shot” with a poisonedpellet fired from an umbrella, another Bulgarian had the same experience in France. Towards the end of August 1978, Kostov felt a sharp pain in the back when he was leaving a railway station in Paris. He was ill for a few days but became well. When news of Markov’s death became known, Kostov was asked to return to hospital for examination. Doctors found a tiny pellet in his back, but it had stuck in an area from which the poison had not been able to spread.The police in both countries are still searching for the reasons why both men were attacked. They hoped to catch their attackers. 66.Which of the statement is right about the underlined word?A．stranger B．well-known C．friendly D. unknown67．Which of the following was not mentioned in the passage?A．George Markov was working for the BBCB．George Markov wrote many plays at that timeC．kostov was “shot” with a poisoned pelletD．Both kostov and George Markov died at last 68．According to the passage, Markov’s suspicions turned out to beA．wrong B．rightC．reasonable D．unreasonable 69．Who killed Markov?A．Bulgarian B．notknown C． French D．British70.

你认为科技公司成功的关键是什么？请谈谈你的看法并举例说明。
【范文】At the dawn of information age, the rising of electronic appliances has given many tech companies an edge in the global market. However, the tide doesn’t necessarily raise all boats. Those companies who cannot cater to the majority’s needs will be easily knocked out. As far as I’m concerned, two key qualities matter a lot.First and foremost, innovation is undeniably of prime significance to the success of a tech company. Apparently, innovative skills exclusive to a company may determine its irreplaceable position in the field. It is also a combination of keeping pace with the times and constantly challenging itself, which helps to grab and retain target customers’ attention.Apart from innovation, it can be the culture that cultivates its customers’ as w ell as employees’ loyalty.For instance, Huawei boasts its customer-oriented attitudes and diligence in transforming itself from a local business to a global brand. It’s no exaggeration to say that only if a tech company occupies a decent culture can it fo ster its employees’ sense of belonging, sense of responsibility and sense of honor, thus the ultimate improved customer experience.In the final analysis, a tech company’s success may not depend on its products so much as its innovation and distinctive company culture. Therefore, it’s high time that companies should at least remember that once involved, one is sure to evolve.(226ws) 【赏析】（1）结构：典型的“三段式”。

If you have any problems downloading the application form or any questions, please contact: London Summer School in Classics, King’s College London.Tel: 020 7848 2299Fax: 020 7848 2545OrganizationThe school is organized by the colleges of the University of London. The summer school offers eight days of intensive teaching in Greek and Latin. There are four language classes each day as well as lectures and a debate, between 10:30 am and 4:30 pm. The course is not residential (提供住宿的), and there is no teaching during the weekend of 12th to 13th July.The fee is £85.00.

The travel grants are arranged during the summer school.Teaching is generally in groups of 12-15 people and it, as far as possible, comprises (包含) of students of roughly the same level of experience. The style of teaching is friendly, but demanding: a lot of work is expected from students during the school, but they usually find the whole experience both stimulating and valuable. Some classes concentrate chiefly on reading, while others offer a mixture of grammar and translation practice. Our tutors include some of the most experienced and talented teachers of Classics in the London area and beyond.The Summer School in Classics caters for a wide range of interests and for both school & university students as well as those who wish to learn Greek or Latin, or to revive their knowledge of the languages. Our principal concern is to provide a thorough program of language learning in a lively university environment.51. To join in the school, you have to apply before ________.A. 8th July, 2008B. 17th July, 2008C. 13th July, 2008D. 2nd June, 200852.

While most people were warming up their cars, Trev or, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货)，saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.56. How did people get to know the couple’s problem?A. From radio broadcasts.B. From TV newsC. From a newspaper.D. From a stranger.57.Which of the following is TRUE?A. The author used to get to work by bike.B. The author’s husband often parked the bike beside the back door.C. Several strangers offered bikes to them, but they only accepted oneof them.D. Somebody had stolen their bike before, but soon returned it to the author.58.What do we learn from the couple’s experience?A. Strangers are usually of little help.B. One should take care of their bike.C. News reports make people famous.D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.59. Why was the bike so important to the couple?A. They used it for work and daily life.B. It was their only possession.C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.D. The man’s job was bike racing.60. We can conclude that _______A. the couple worked 60 hours a week.B. people were busy before ChristmasC. the stranger brought over the bikeD. life was hard for the young family.CThe literal meaning of philosophy is “love of wisdom”. But this meaning does not tell us very much. Unlike the other disciplines, philosophy cannot be defined by what you study, because it is actually unlimited. Anything can be the subject matter of philosophy: are, history, law, language, literature, mathematics, and in fact, the other academic disciplines are directly related to philosophy. For this reason you get a Doctorate（博士学位）of Philosophy (Ph. D. ) in biochemistry, or computer science, or psychologyTwo broad sub-fields of philosophy are logic and the history of philosophy. Logic is the science of argument and critical thinking. It provides sound methods for distinguishing good from bad reasoning. The history of philosophy involves the study of major philosophers and periods in the development of philosophy.Of what use is philosophy? First it is useful in educational advancement. It is necessary for understanding other disciplines. Only philosophy questions the nature of the concepts used in a discipline, and its relation to other disciplines. And through the study of philosophy, one develops sound methods of research and analysis that can be applied to any field.There are a number of general uses of philosophy. It strengthens one’s ability to solve problems, to communicate, to organize ideas and issues, to persuade, and to take what is the most important from a large quantity of data. These general uses are of great benefit in the career field, not necessarily for obtaining one’s first job after graduation, but for preparing for positions of responsibility, management andleadership later on. It is very short-sighted after all, to take a course of studies only for the purpose of getting one’s first job. The useful skills developed through the study of philosophy have significant long-term benefits in career advancement. No other discipline systematically follows the ideals of wisdom, leadership, and capacity to resolve human conflict61. What’s the meaning of philosophy according to the passage？A. social sciencesB. both social and natural sciencesC. natural sciencesD. the subject matter of politics62. What does “discipline” mean in the first paragraph?A. literatureB. scienceC. subjectD. occupation63. With the study of philosophy, you can .A. make progress in your career developmentB. succeed in everythingC. find a good job soon after graduationD. become a great leader64. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Philosophy is an independent discipline.B. The study of philosophy brings you immediate benefits.C. Logic helps you to become a better thinker.D. The meaning of philosophy is too limited to define.65. From the passage, we can conclude .A. not all the subjects have to do with philosophyB. philosophy can be helpful for the study of any other subjectsC. a person will get a Ph.D. if he/she studies philosophyD. philosophy is the only solution to all the problems in the worldDWugging, or web use giving, describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user. By using , which is being added to a number of university computers across the UK, students can raise money every time they search, but it won’t cost t hem a penny.Research shows that students are extremely passionate about supporting charity — 88% of full time students have used the Internet to give to charity. This age group is often the least likely to have their own income. 19% of 22 to 24 year olds have short-term debts of more than £5,000. With rising personal debt levels in this age group, due to university tuition fees or personal loans and a lack of long-term savings, traditional methods of donating to charity are often not appealing (有感染力的) or possible.Beth Truman, a 21 year old recent university graduate, has used to donate to her chosen charity, the RSPCA, for two years and has seen the “wugging” movement grow in popularity with students. “When you’re at university you become more socially aware, but it’s sometimes hard to give to others when you have little money yourself,”says Beth. “Wugging is great for people in this age group as it allows them to use the technology on a daily basis to give to charity, without costing them a single penny.”Wugging is perfect for people who want to be more socially aware and supportive but don’t feel they have the means to do so. Students using the web can raise money for causes they care about without costing them anything in terms of time or money, and charities get a valuable source of funding. works like any other search engine, allowing users to search for information, news and images but users can decide which of the UK’s 170,000 charities they would like to support throug h their clicks. then makes monthly payments to every registered charity. Launched in June 2005, is now the eighth largest search engine and one of the busiest charity websites in the UK.66. What does “wugging”show According to the passage?A. a websiteB. a school organizationC. a student movementD.a charity-related action67. In the case of charity, ______.A. receives much money from studentsB. offers valuable information to studentsC. frees students of the financial worriesD. praises students for their money-raising 68. What does we think of the “wugging” movement?A. It makes popular in the UK.B. It becomes easy to do charity because of it.C. It results in students’ more social awareness.D. It helps students to save money.69. From the passage, we can inferred that ______.A. “wugging” is a win-win idea for both students and charitiesB. most full time students do charity on the Internet every dayC. helps students pay for the college educationD. is the most successful search engine in the UK70. What’s the general idea of this passage?A. “Wugging”, a new popular term on the Internet.B. More Britain charities benefit from the Internet.C. Students raise money for charity by “wugging”.D. British people show strong interest in charity.星期一（U1-M2）第一节单项填空1—5 DBBBA 6-10 DDCDC 11-15 CBCBA 16-20 ACDCC 21-25 CABAA第二节完形填空26-30 DBCAA 31-35 ACADB 36-40 BACDB第三节语法填空41. to 42. amazing 43. which 44. because 45. it 46. was selected47. like 48. room 49. decorated 50. to make第四节阅读理解51-55 DBBCB 56-60 CBDAD 61-65 BCACB 66-70 DCBAC。

高三英语周练（1）试题命题人：考试时间：50分钟总分：89分Ⅰ. 阅读理解(满分39分)AFood festivals around the worldStilton Cheese RollingMay Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans. Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors' lane(赛道). Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the competitors are served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.Fiery Foods Festival—The Hottest Festival on EarthEvery year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction—food that is not just spicy(辛辣),but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March. You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper—officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one thing's for sure—if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn't for you!La Tomatina—The World's Biggest Food FightOn the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bunol hosts La Tomatina—the world's largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events. The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes—official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd.The battle lasts little more than half an hour, in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back. Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again—and for a much-needed wash!1. In the Stilton cheese rolling competition, competitors on each team must________.A. wear various formal clothesB. roll a wooden cheese in their own laneC. kick or throw their cheeseD. use a real cheese weighing about four kilos2. Where is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival held?A. In New Mexico.B. In the Caribbean.C. In Australia.D. In China.3. The celebration of La Tomatina lasts ____________ .A. three daysB. seven daysC. less than three daysD. more than seven days4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The chief prize for the Stilton cheese rolling competition is beer or port wine.B. More than 10,000 Chinese take part in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival.C. Thousands of spicy foods are on show in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival.D. An exciting tomato battle takes place at the beginning of La Tomatina.BLife can be so wonderful, full of adventure and joy. It can also be full of challenges, setbacks(挫折) and heartbreaks. Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams, hopes and desires—that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones. Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem, because when we go to change the way we do things, up come the old patterns and pitfalls(陷阱) that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.This tension between what we feel we can have and what we’re seemingly able to have is the niggling(烦人的) suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think it's easier to just give up. But we're never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is us—the real us. It's the part that believes in life and its possibilities. If you drop that, you begin to feel a little "dead" inside because you're dropping "you".So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck, how do we break these patterns?Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today's challenges.While, deep down, we know we can do it, our mind—or the minds of those close to us—usually says we can't. That isn't a reason to stop, it's just the mind, that little man or woman on your shoulder, trying to talk you out of something again. It has done it many times before. It's all about starting simple and doing it now.Decide and act before overthinking. When you do this you may feel a little, or large, release from the jail of your mind and you'll be on your way.5. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should ______________ .A. slow down and live a simple lifeB. be careful when we choose to changeC. stick to our dreams under any circumstancesD. be content with what we already have6. What is the key to breaking the old patterns?A. To focus on every detail.B. To decide and take immediate action.C. To listen to those close to us.D. To think twice before we act.7. Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?A. Escape from your punishment.B. Realization of your dreams.C. Freedom from your tension.D. Reduction of your expectations.8. What does the author intend to tell us?A. I t's easier than we think to get what we want.B. It's important to learn to accept sufferings in life.C. It's impractical to change our way of thinking.D. It's harder than we expect to follow a new course.C(七选五)Are you preparing any gifts for your friends now? 9 , but choosing a proper gift can be a big headache, because it takes a lot of time and effort to think of the right gift for someone. Before you finish your list, keep these dos and don'ts in mind:◆Do put thought into your gift.If you like something, that doesn't mean that your friend is going to like it, too. 10 .Don't get him/her an ordinary gift, and reflect back on your previous conversations to see if he/she talked a certain gift he/she had been wanting to get.◆11 .Make sure the gift you're buying is appropriate for the person. For example, if you're buying a friend a gift, remember not to overspend or personalize it too much.
