Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us. If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores(胚芽)。

江苏省2011届高三英语一轮阅读理解练习(10)AEveryone has got two personalities – the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behaviour, but when you’re aslee p, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust p eople and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You’re very stubborn (顽固的) ,but you aren’t very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.If you sleep on curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive. You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You’re easily hurt.If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weakness. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.1. According to the writer, you naturally show your secret and real personality _______.A.only in a normal nightB.only when you go to sleepC.only when you refuse to show yourself to the worldD.only when you change sleeping position2. Maybe you don’t want to make friends with a person who sleeps curled up. W hy?A.He or she would rather be alone than communicate with you.B.He or she is rarely ready to help you.C.He or she prefers staying at home to going out.D.He or she wouldn’t like to get help from you.3. It appears that the writer tends to think highly of the person who sleeps on one side because _______.A.he or she always shows sympathy for peopleB.he or she is confident, but not stubbornC.he or she has more strengths than weaknessD.he or she often considers annoying peopleBHe has lived through countless dangers but time may be running out for the Palestinian (巴勒斯坦) leader, Yasser Arafat.On September 11, Israel (以色列) announced its decision to remove him, following several Palestinian suicide bomb attacks on Israel. "He should take some responsibility for the killings," an Israeli official said. "He has done nothing to stop the terrorist groups."But the decision has angered many other countries. China said that Arafat is the true leader, elected by the Palestinian people, and removing him would harm the peace in the Middle East. This view is shared by other governments.Arafat himself said: "They can kill me, but never get me out of my country." He has spent most of his life in danger as the chief target (目标) of Israel. But, just like a cat with nine lives, Arafat escaped every time.For years he has made a practice of sleeping in a different bed each night, thinking a moving target is harder to hit.In 1985, Israel sent fighter planes to kill Arafat. The wild bombing destroyed his old headquarters (总部) in Tunis but Arafat himself was unhurt.In 1992, the aircraft in which he was flying over north Africa broke in two during a crash landing. The crew was killed but he managed to remain alive.What is so unbelievable is that he always remains calm in great danger.Israeli tanks and helicopters attacked his headquarters in Ramallah in December, 2001. Whenthey saw the attackers coming, Arafat's bodyguards ignored his orders to stay still and carried him to safety underground. Seconds later, several bombs exploded nearby. Though safe, his bodyguards were so scared they were soaked in sweat.But Arafat, with Israeli tanks only 200 metres away, showed no fear at all. He stayed in the damaged office, contacting foreign leaders in hope of preventing further attacks from Israel.All these experiences have made him a mysterious man, and one of the world's most legendary (传奇式的) leaders.But has he used up the last of his nine lives? Only time will tell.4. What is the main idea of the story?A. Arafat was in danger again after Israel's decision to remove him.B. Arafat faced dangers without fear.C.

Which is not one of the reasons that Arafat managed to live through countless dangers?A. Luck.B. He was very careful.C. He kept a clear head in danger.D. He had mysterious powers.6. What does the boldfaced word “scared” in the last paragraph but three mean?A. Glad.B. Frightened.C. Feeling lucky.D. Worried.7. Arafat's answer to Israeli decision showed ______.A. that he wasn't afraid of dangerB. his determination to stay in his own countryC. that he has belief in himselfD. both A and BCThere are some special traditions in Hawaii. People are very friendly and always welcome visitors. They give visitors a lei along necklace of beautiful fresh flowers. Men wear bright flowered shirts, and women often wear long flowered dresses. There are traditional Chinese, Japanese and Filipino holidays and all the holidays from the United States. They call Hawaii the Aloha State. Aloha means both hello and go odbye. It also means “I love you”.Usually when people from different countries, races, and traditions live together, there are serious problems. There are a few problems in Hawaii, but in general, people have learned to live together in peace.Hawaiians earn most of their money from travelers and most of the travelers come from the mainland and from Japan. There are many people living in Hawaii now so there are residential areas where there used to be farms. Some of the big sugar and pineapple companies have moved to the Philippines, where they do not have to pay workers as much money. The families of the first people who came from the U.S. mainland own the important banks and companies. Japanese are also buying or starting businesses here.8. The special tradition in Hawaii includes______.A.giving visitors a lei of beautiful fresh flowers. B.Men wear bright flowered shirtsC.Women often wear long flowered dresses D.All of the above.9. The most important problem in Hawaii is ________.A.to learn to live together in peace. B.To earn money from travelersC.To find a comfortable place to live D.To unite different holidays.10. The main travellers are from ________.A.Europe B.America C.Japan D.B and C11. Which is not the transformation in Hawaii? ________.A.Farms have become residential areasB.Some big sugar and pineapple companies have moved to PhilippinesC.Japanese are buying or starting in Hawaii nowD.The families of the first people who came from Europe own the important banks and companiesDAmong all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(寿命) can be prolonged.Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.12. What does “these two killers” in the se cond paragraph refer to ?A.gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases.B.The two murderers who killed the cloned babyC.The two diseases of cancer and heart diseaseD.Hereditary diseases and cancer13. What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?A. How gene technology can be applied in the field of treating hereditary diseases.B. Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.C. Gene technology can help people to give birth of a baby.D. Gene technology can help the English imperial family out14. In what way gene technology can help to treat hereditary diseases?ing gene technology, people with hereditary diseases can have more living days.ing gene technology, scientist finds the wrong gene and corrects it.ing gene technology, human babies can be cloned.D.Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technology.15. What is the main purpose of writing this passage?A.Expressing the writer’s idea that gene technology will benefit peopleB.Telling people the advantages of gene technologyC.Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit peopleD.Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanityEThe European capital cities, Berlin and London, running the third and the fourth richest economies in the world, both produce about a metric ton of rubbish for each household per year. But when it comes to disposing of their citizens’ waste, the comfortable similarities end.London, and Britain as a whole, is in the middle of a waste crisis. Today, the environment secretary, Margaret Beckett, is presiding over a waste summit to try to find out why the UK is not going to reach its 25% recycling and composting (转制成堆肥) target by 2005; currently, it is managing 11%By comparison, Berlin and Germany know exactly where they are going. Although Berlin has been the capital for less than a decade, and has had east and west to unite, it has already reached 40% recycling. The city has one ambition: to have no rubbish to dump or burn in 20 year’s time. So far, the city has not decided quite how, but it is developing new technologies and moving steadily in the right direction. London, by comparison, has a chaotic system. The 33 boroughs all have different recycling systems.Ken Livingstone, who since taking office as mayor has published a brand-new waste management strategy for the capital, is responsible for sorting out this hotch potch. One of the most contentious issues both for London and Berlin is incineration, with both cities burning a large proportion of their waste---London 20% and Berlin 32%Here again Berlin has made decisions and London is uncertain. Berlin has a state of the art incinerator in the 1970s and upgraded constantly until in the 1990s it is impossible to detect any emissions but warm gases. The city has abandoned plans to build another and instead wants to make the existing one redundant by reducing the waste so there is none to burn London boroughs have plans to increase the size of the incinerator at Edmonton and there are plans to build more elsewhere. But Livingstone is resisting and the government is already rethinking its current energy from waste policy.Samantha Heath, the chair of Greater London Authority’s environment committee, wants to invest in the market for recycled goods so there is somewhere for the material to go and a prospect of selling it, or at least disposing of it for less than the price of incineration or landfill Ingolf Rank, spok esman for Berlin’s City Cleaning company has some advice: “The first task is to get the public on your side.” Each household has to pay 40 pounds every three months to dispose of its rubbish. In future, the less they create, the more they recycle and compost, the less they will have to pay, he says.Each house in Berlin has a series of different coloured bins for refuse so glass, paper and plastics can be separated for recycling. This allows 800 000 tonnes of rubbish a year to be turned back into useful items.But Berlin has ideas that have not ever been heard of in London. For example, at this time of year, thousands of trees that line Berlin’s streets shed their leaves. Rather than put these leaves into general rubbish and add to the problems of disposal, they are collected up in large vacuum cleaners and turned into garden compost. Most of London has no composting service at all.Another system that stops material even being called rubbish is a collection service for second-hand furniture and electrical goods less than seven years old. Each offering is inspected, taken to a central shop, and sold at low cost to poorer people. It saves a lot of material being dumped.Not all goes according to plan in Berlin, however. Rank says that people dump waste in the streets, like mattresses, old furniture or just general rubbish cost the city 2.8 million pounds a year.One problem the city has tried to solve but failed, is the excreta of 150 000 dogs. Rank says it is the owners’ responsibility to clean up after their p ets but police who tried enforce the law were “sometimes bitten (by the dogs), insulted by the owners and even beaten up. As a result we still have to clean up 40 tonnes of droppings every day. Nobody is happy about that.”16. Which of the following is correct? __________A.By 2005, UK is going to reach its 25% recycling and composting target. has survived a waste crisis already.B.Berlin has 33 boroughs with different recycling systems.C.Germans are ambitious to have no rubbish to dump or burn in 20 years’ time.17. Which is the main way for the two countries to deal with rubbish?A.To bury.B.To incinerate.C.To sellD.To compost.18.Inferring from the passage, which of the following is the main factor for Germans’ abandoning the incineration system?A. Citizens’ protest.B. High opportunity cost.C. Air pollution.D. Less produced rubbish.19. What do people in Berlin do with the fallen leaves?A. Landfill.B. Burning.C. Putting then into the dustbin.D. Turning them to fertilizer.20. The writer uses the ______as a figure of speech(修辞).A. SimileB. MetaphorC. contrastD. personification参考答案BABCD BDDAD DCABA DBBDC。

江苏省2014届高三英语一轮复习阅读理解攻略训练(2)●阅读经典习题:AFor high school leavers starting out in the working world,it is very important to learn particular skills and practice how to behave in an interview or how to find all internship(实习).In some countries,schools have programs to help students onto the path to work.In the Unites States,however,such programs are still few and far between.Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses,students are likely to get higher earnings in later years.The students are more likely to stay in school,graduate and go on to higher education.In Germany,students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships.German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment. But in America, education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world.Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track.Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the country’s most vulnerable(易受影响的)kids with no jobs and no skills.Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teaching them valuable practical skills at high school.James Madison High School in New York,for example,encourages students to choose classes on career—based courses.The school then helps them gain on—the-job experience in those field s while they’re still at high school.However,even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work,the job market is daunting.In the US,unemployment rates for 16-to-19-year-olds are above 20 percent for the thirdsummer in a row.“The risk is t hat if teenagers miss out on the Summer job experience,they become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job,”said Michael,a researcher in the US.1. In the author’s opinion, American high school leavers __________.A. have enough career-related coursesB. need more career advice from their schoolsC. perform better in exams than German studentsD. can get higher earnings in later years2. According to Robert Schwartz,_________.A. there is no need for kids to go for higher education in the USB. students should get contact with the working world at high schoolC. education reform should focus on students’ performance in examsD. teenagers in the US can’t miss out on the summer job experience3. What can be inferred from the text?A. Unemployment rates for US teenagers remain high at the moment.B. Students with career—based courses never have problems finding a job.C. US companies work with schools to prepare young people for future employment.D. High school leavers with no practical skills can’t find a job absolutely4. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Arguments about recent US education reform.B. Tips on finding jobs for high school leavers.C. The lack of career—based courses in US high schools.D. Advice for American high school leavers.5. The underlined word “daunting” in Paragrap h 6 most probably means___________.A. discouragingB. interestingC. creativeD. unbearableBDo you think it is ever a good idea for a teenager to have a credit card?My kids watch closely as I swipe the card through the register. The y’ve seen me do it hundreds, thousands of times. Cool. They are itching to swipe it through the machine themselves. When we walk out of the store with our groceries or pet food, or whatever, it’s almost as though money has not changed hands, painless, easy.So it shouldn’t be shocking to discover that teenagers are becoming card carrying consumers in their own right. The question is, should they?While some argue it’s best to teach kids how to use a credit card while still living under the family roof, not everyone agrees. Dave Ramsey, financial expert says getting a credit card for your teenager is actually, “an excellent way to teach him or her to be financially irresponsible. ”Now parents are required to co-sign on credit cards for children under 21. “If their name is on the credit card, then the parent may say, ‘Hey, my name is on this. Don’t get me into trouble,” says Mary Beth Pinto, a marketing professor. “When parents were the co-obligors(共同借贷人),the children caused less debt. If the parents are the co-obligors, the tendency is that the parents were explaining how to use the cards.” Still, Pinto believes parents should start the process much earlier. “Yes, there has to be tea ching going on and it has to start when they’re younger. You’re not going to get rid of credit cards. They are here to stay. You have to have them. You can’t fight progress,” Pinto said.Ramsey, however, disagrees. “Throwing teens into a pool of (credit)sharks is a sure way to guarantee a life-time of heartache,” he said“You can make online purchases and rent a car with a credit card. Of course, you must have money in your bank account before you can make a purchase with a credit card. But paying for things with money is what you are supposed to do. ”6. The author mentioned her experience in Para 2 mainly to_______.A. prove the convenience of using credit cardsB. tell what impression credit cards leave on kidsC. give advice on using credit cards wiselyD. explain the pleasure credit cards bring to customers7. The underlined word in Para 2 can be replaced by _______.A. eagerB. afraidC. embarrassedD. thankful8. What’s Ramsey’s attitude towards teens’ using credit cards?A. He feels it is worth a tryB. He is very supportiveC. He is strongly against itD. He considers it as a pleasant experience9. Pinto will most likely agree that _______.。

Naturally regulate your sleep-wake cycleMelatonin(褪黑激素) is a naturally occurring hormone(激素) that helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle. Melatonin production is controlled by light exposure. Your brain should produce more in the evening, when it's dark, to make you sleepy, and less during the day when it's light and you want to stay awake. However, many aspects of modern life can disturb your body's natural production of melatonin and your sleep-wake cycle.Spending long days in an office away from natural light, for example, can impact your daytime wakefulness and make your brain sleepy. Then bright lights at night—especially from hours spent in front of the TV or computer screen—can hold back your body's production of melatonin and make it harder to sleep, However, there are ways for you to naturally regulate your sleep-wake cycle, improve your body's production of melatonin, and keep your brain on ahealthy schedule.Increase light exposure during the day☆Remove your sunglasses in the morning and let light onto your face.☆Spend more time outside during daylight. Try to take your work breaks outside in sun light, exercise outside, or walk your dog during the day instead of at night.☆Let as much light into your home/workspace as possible. Keep curtains and blinds open during the day, move your desk closer to the window.☆If necessary, use a light treatment box. A light treatment box can create sunshine and can be especially useful during short winter days when there's limited daylight.Improve melatonin production at night☆Turn off your television and computer. Many people use the television to fall asleep or relax at the end of the day. Not only does the light hold back melatonin production, but television can actually excite the mind, rather than relaxing it. Try listening to music or audio books, or practicing relaxation exercises. If your favorite TV show is on late at night, record it for viewing earlier in the day.☆Don't read from a backlit device at night (such as an iPad). If you use a portable electronicdevice to read, use an eReader that is not backlit, i. e. one that requires an additional light source such as a bedside lamp.☆Change your light bulbs. Avoid bright lights before bed, use low-wattage bulbs instead.☆When it's time to sleep, make sure the room is dark. The darker it is, the better you'll sleep. Cover electrical displays, use heavy curtains or shades to block light from windows, or try an eye mask to cover your eyes.☆ Use a flashlight to go to the bathroom at night. As long as it's safe to do so, keep the light to a minimum so it will be easier to go back to sleep.任务型阅读71. occurs 72. More 73. awake 74. aspects 75. natural76. Approaches/Solutions 77.

考例分析:D【2022·全国高考乙卷】The Government's sugar tax on soft drinks has brought in half as much money as Ministers first predicted it would generate, the first official data on the policy has shown.First announced in April, 2016, the tax which applies to soft drinks containing more than 5g of sugar per100ml, was introduced to help reduce childhood obesity(肥胖). It is believed that today's children and teenagers are consuming three times the recommended level of sugar, putting them at a higher risk of the disease.Initially the sugar tax was expected to make £520m a year for the Treasury. However, data of the first sixmonths showed it would make less than half this amount. At present it is expected to generate £240m for the year ending in April 2019, which will go to school sports.It comes after more than half of soft drinks sold in shops have had their sugar levels cut by manufacturers(制造商)so they can avoid paying the tax. Drinks now contain 45 million fewer kilos of sugar as a result of manufacturers' efforts to avoid the charge, according to Treasury figures. Since April drinks companies have been forced to pay between 18p and 24p for every litre of sugary drink they produce or import, depending on the sugar content.However, some high sugar brands, like Classic Coca Cola, have accepted the sugar tax and are refusing to change for fear of upsetting consumers. Fruit juices, milk-based drinks and most alcoholic drinks are free of the tax, as are small companies manufacturing fewer than 1m litres per year.Today's figures, according to one government official, show the positive influence the sugar tax is having by raising millions of pounds for sports facilities(设施)and healthier eating in schools. Helping the next generation to have a healthy and active childhood is of great importance, and the industry is playing its part.15. What can be inferred about the adoption of the sugar tax policy?A. It is a short-sighted decision.B. It is a success story.C. It benefits manufacturers.D. It upsets customers.【答案】15. B【解析】本文是一篇说明文。

This behavior interests scientists and they wonder how ants know for sure—and so soon—thatanother ant is dead.One scientist recently came up with a way to explain this ant behaviour. Dong-Hwan Choe is a biologist, a scientist who studies animals and plants. He found that ants have a chemical on the outside of their bodies that signals to other ants, “I'm dead—take me away” when it is dead.But there's a question to answer: As we know, if an ant is dead, it stops moving. But when an ant is sleeping or knocked unconscious, it is also not moving. However, other ants don't move the living ant out of the nest. How do they know this ant is not dead? Choe found that ants have another chemical on their bodies, which tells nearby ants something like, “Wait—I'm not dead yet” when it is not dead. Choe suspects that when an ant d ies, the chemical that says, “Wait I'm not dead yet” quickly goes away. When other ants detect the “dead” chemical without the “not dead yet” chemical, they move away the body.To test his theory , Choe and his team put different chemicals on ants. When the scientists used the “I'm dead” chemical, other ants quickly moved the treated ant away. When the scientists used the “Wait—I'm not dead yet”chemical, other ants left the treated ant alone. Choe believes this behavior shows that the “not dead yet”chemical overrides the “dead” chemical when picked up by other ants. And that when an ant dies, the “not dead yet” chemical fades away. Other nearby ants then detect the remaining “dead” chemical and remove the body from the nest.Understanding this behavior can help scientists figure out how to stop ants from invading new places and causing problems.59. What is the function of the first paragraph?A. Leading the following paragraphs.B. Showing the main idea of the passage.C. Introducing the background of the passage.D. Giving a summary of the passage.60. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “overrides” in thefourth paragraph?A. is weaker thanB. is stronger thanC. is better thanD. is worse than61. What can we learn from the passage?A. Living ants can also be taken away when they are not moving.B. When an ant dies, it can tell others using a certain chemical.C. A living ant can pretend to be dead using a special chemical.D. Ants often use chemicals to communicate with each other.62. Which of the following descriptions about Dong-Hwan Choe is right?A. Choe did this study in order to stop ants from invading new places.B. Choe is a biologist who is only interested in animals, especially in ants.C. Choe first came up with an idea to explain this ant behavior,and then did some tests toprove his theory.D. Choe did the research on this ant behavior on his ownC“Image is everything.” An entire industry has been built upon the assumption that image is everything, but when it comes down to it, an appealing image is not enough.If there is no substance(事实) behind the image, the product, service or person will fail eventually.First of all, one should consider how important image is in the selling of products and services.Advertising agencies have raised the art of creating an image to a state of near perfection.Public concept of that product or service is certainly managed by the images created by the advertising agencies.But if the product or service does not live up to the image that was created, the customer will be very dissatisfied and possibly ask for their money back.Forexample, the Arthur Andersen accounting firm had spent decades building up an image of trustworthiness.But the recent scandal (丑闻) showed that behind that image, it cheated in business practices.Despite the previous positive image, the firm is being accused of criminal actions and it will probably not survive as a business unit.Although the image had been nearly perfect, the reality behind the image has led to the downfall of the world famous accounting firm.Similarly, personal advisers can build up a public image for politicians and movie stars.Putting out positive news releases, making sure that only the best photographs are published, and ensuring that the person is seen in all the right places can build up a very positive image in the view of the general commons.But once again, history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune.With people, just as with products and services, image is certainly important, but without positive substance behind the image, failure is close.To summarize, it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success, whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the “selling” of a person.But image is only half of the equation.What lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itself ——the person or product must deliver on that image or there is little chance for long-term success.63.The downfall of the Arthour Andersen accounting firm is due to ________.A.its dishonesty in business B.its previous imagesC.its bad management D.its poor service64.Why did some famous people fall from grace?A.Their images were not well built upB.They failed to live up to their images.C.They felt much pressure from the publicD.They paid little attention to fame and fortune.65.The structure of the passage is ________.A: Argument P: Point C: Conclusion66.The author tries to argue that _________.A.image creates everything B.image is the key to successC.truth is unlikely ever to be equaled D.truth and image are equally importantDThree boys and three girls were going to Fort Lauderdale and when they boarded the bus,they were carrying sandwiches and wine in paper bags,dreaming of golden beaches as the gray cold of New York vanished behind them.As the bus passed through New Jersey,they began to notice Vingo, He sat in front of them,dressed in a plain,ill-fitting suit,never moving,his dusty face masking his age. He kept chewing the inside of his lip a lot,frozen into some personal cocoon of silence.Deep into the night,outside Washington,the bus pulled into Howard Johnson's,and everybody got off except Vingo. He sat rooted in his seat,and the young people began to wonder about him,trying to imagine his life:perhaps he was a sea captain,a runaway from his wife,an old soldier going home. When they went back to the bus,one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself."We're going to Florida,”she said brightly, “I hear it's really beautiful.”“It is,”he said quietly,as if remembering something he had tried to forget."Want some wine?" she said. He smiled and took a swig. He thanked her and once again returned to his silence. After a while,she went back to the others,and Vingo nodded in his sleep.In the morning,they awoke outside another Howard Johnson's.And this time Vingo went in. The girl insisted that he join them. He seemed very shy, and ordered black coffee and smoked nervously as the young people chattered about sleeping on beaches. When they returned to the bus,the girl sat with Vingo again,and after a while, slowly and painfully,he told his story. He had been in jail in New York for the past four years,and now he was going home.“Are you married?”“I don't know.“You don’t know?” she said.“Well,when I was in jail I wrote to my wife,”he said. “I told he r that I was going to be away a long time,and that if she couldn't stand it.if the kids kept asking questions,if it hurt too much,well she could just forget me, I'd understand. Get a new guy,I said she's a wonderful woman,really something and forget about me. I told her she didn't have to write me for nothing. And she didn't. Not for three and a half years.”"And you’re going home now,not knowing?”“Yeah,”he said shyly.“Well,last week,when I was sure the parole (假释) was coming through, I wrote her again. We used to live in Brunswick,just before Jacksonville,and there’s a big oak (橡树) tree just as you came into town. I told her that if she'd take me back,she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree,and I'd get off and come home, If she didn't want me, forget it, no handkerchief,and I'd go on through.”"Vow,” the girl exclaimed. "Wow.”She told the others,and noon all of them were in it, caught up in the approach of Brunswick,looking at the pictures Vingo showed them of his wife and three children. The woman was handsome in a plain way,the children still unformed in the much-handled snapshots.Now they were 20 miles from Brunswick, and the young people took over window seat on the right side,waiting for the approach of the great oak tree. The bus acquired a dark,hushed mood,full of the silence of absence and lost years. Vingo stopped looking, tightening his face into the ex-con's mask, as if fortifying himself against still another disappointment.Then Brunswick was ten miles, and then five. Then,suddenly,all of the young people were up out of their seats,screaming and shouting and crying,doing small dances of joy. All except Vingo.Vingo sat there stunned,looking at the oak tree. It was covered with yellow handkerchiefs,20 of them,30 of them,maybe hundreds,a tree that stood like a banner of welcome billowing in the wind. As the young people shouted,the old rose and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.67. Which is right about Vingo?A. He was a sea captain.B. He was a runaway from his wife,C. He was an old soldier going home.D. He was a prisoner.68. The underlined word "`exclaimed" probably indicates that the girl was“______”A. surprised B: angry C: embarrassed D. puzzled69. From the story,we know thatA. the young people and Vingo loved New YorkB. Vingo dressed himself decentlyC. Vingo's Wife didn't write to him because she didn't miss himD. the young people were happy for Vingo because he could went home70. What is the best title for the story?A. An Unexpected ReturnB.

Born to WinEach human being is born as something unique, something that never existed before. Each person is born with what he needs to win at life. A normal person can see, hear, touch, taste, and think for himself. Each has his own unique potentials---his capabilities and limitations. Each can be an important, thinking, aware, and creatively productive person in his own right---a winner.The words "winner" and "loser" have many meanings. When we refer to a person as a winner, we do not mean one who defeats the other person by dominating and making him lose. Instead a winner is one who responds honestly by being trustworthy and responsive, both as an individual and as a member of a society. A loser is one who fails to respond honestly.A winner is not afraid to do his own thinking and to use his own knowledge. He can separate facts from opinion and doesn’t pretend to have all the answers. He listens to others, evaluates what they say, but comes to his own conclusions.A winner is flexible. He does not have to respond in known, rigid ways. He can change his plans when the situation calls for it. A winner has a love for life. He enjoys work, play, food, other people, and the world of nature. Without guilt he enjoys his own accomplishments. Without envy he enjoys the accomplishments of others.A winner cares about the world and its people. He is not separated from the general problems of society. He tries to improve the quality of life. Even in the face of national and international difficulty, he does not see himself as helpless. He does what he can to make the world a better place.Although people are born to win, they are also born totally dependent on their environment. Winners successfully make the change from dependence to independence, losers do not. Somewhere along the line losers begin to avoid becoming independent. This usually begins in childhood. Poor nutrition, cruelty, unhappy relationships, disease, continuing disappointments, and inadequate physical care are among the many experiences that contribute to making people losers.A loser is held back by his low capacity to appropriately express himself through a full range of possible behavior. He may be unaware of other choices for his life if the path he chooses goes nowhere. He is afraid to try new things. He repeats not only his own mistakes and often repeats those of his family and culture.A loser has difficulty giving and receiving love. He does not enter into close, honest, direct relationships with others. Instead, he tries to manipulate them into living up to his expectations and channels his energies into living up to their expectations.任务型:71. unique/special 72. victory 73. response 74.independently 75. adapts/adjusts76. happiness/pleasure/delight/enjoyment 77. devotes 78. affect/influence 79. lacks 80.sharing●任务型阅读经典习题:请认真阅读下列短文,并根据短文的内容要点完成文章后的表格。

AThe latest research suggests that the key factor separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is not I.Q., a generally bad predictor of success. Instead, it’s purposeful practice. Top performers spend more hours practising their craft. If you wanted to picture how a typical genius might develop, you’d take a girl who possessed a slightly above average language ability. It wouldn’t have to be a big talent, just enough so that she might gain some sense of distinction. Then you would want her to meet, say, a novelist, who coincidentally shared some similar qualities. Maybe the writer was from the same town, had the same family background, or shared the same birthday.This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self. It would give her some idea of a fascinating circle who might someday join. It would also help if one of her parents died when she was 12, giving her a strong sense of insecurity and fuelling a desperate need for success. Armed with this ambition, she would read novels and life stories of writers without end. This would give her a primary knowledge of her field. She would be able to see new writing in deeper ways and quickly understand its inner workings.Then she would practise writing. Her practice would be slow, painstaking and error-focused. By practising in this way, she delays the automating process. Her mind wants to turn conscious, newly learned skills into unconscious, automatically performed skills. By practising slowly, by breaking skills down into tiny parts and repeating, she forces the brain to internalize a better pattern of performance. Then she would find an adviser who would provide a constant stream of feedback, viewing her performance form the outside, correcting the smallest errors, pushing her to take on tougher challenges. By now she is redoing problems—how do I get characters into a room—dozens and dozens of times. She is establishing habits of thought she can call upon in order to understand or solve future problems.Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.60. What is the missing word about a job search in the following chart?A. Design.B. Changes.C. Cooperation.D. Hobbies.61. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph one mean?A. Before you select your job, you should assess your skills and match them with your positionB. There are more important things than assessing skills and match them with the position when you select job.C. Nothing is important than assessing skills and match them with the position when you select job.D You should ignore your skills when you select job.62. What is the best title for this passage?A. Lifestyles and Job PayB. Jobs and EnvironmentC. Job Skills and AbilitiesD. Personalities and JobsCDisappointed with delays in Sacramento (the capital of California), Bay Area officials said Thursday they planned to take matters into their own hands to regulate the region’s growing piles of electronic waste.A San Jose council woman and a San Francisco supervisor said they would propose new local plans aimed atcontrolling electronic waste if the California law-making body fails to act on two bills delayed in the Assembly. They are among a growing number of California cities and countries that have expressed the same intention Environmentalists and local governments are increasingly concerned about the danger caused by old electronic devices and the cost of safely recycling those products. An estimated 6 million televisions and computers are stocked in California homes, and an additional 6,000 to 7,000 computers become outdated every day. The machines contain high levels of lead (铅) and other dangerous substances, and are already banned from California landfills.A bill by Senator (参议员) Byron Sher would require consumers to pay a recycling fee of up to $30 on every new machine containing a cathode ray tube. Used in almost all video monitors and televisions, those devices contain four to eight pounds of lead each. The fees would go toward setting up recycling programs, providing grants to non-profit agencies that reuse the tubes and rewarding manufacturers that encourage recycling.A separate bill by Los Angeles-area Senator Gloria Romero would require high-tech manufacturers to develop programs to recycle so-called e-waste. If passed, the measures would put California at the forefront of national efforts to manage the refuse of the electronic age.But high-tech groups, including the Silicon Valley Manufacturing Group and the American Electronics Association, oppose the measures, arguing that fees of up to $30 will drive consumers to online, out-of-state shops.“What really needs to occur is consumer education. Most consumers are unaware they’re not supposed to throw computers in the dust bin,” said Roxanne Gould, vice president of government relations for the electronics association.Computer recycling should be a local effort and part of residential waste collection programs, she added. Recycling electronic waste is a dangerous and specialized matter, and environmentalists maintain the state must support recycling efforts and ensure that the job isn’t contracted to junk dealers who send the poisonous parts overseas.“The graveyard of the high-tech revolution is ending up in rural China,” said Ted Smith, director of the SiliconValley Toxics Coalition. His group is pushing for some refinement to Sher’s bill that would prevent the export of e-waste.63. How would Bay Area officials deal with the problem of e-waste? ____________.A. To get enough support to pass the delayed bills.B. To persuade the lawmakers of the California Assembly.C. To make relevant local regulations by themselves.D. To put pressure on manufacturers of electronic devices.64. What do the two bills delayed in the California Assembly both concern? ____________.A. The reprocessing of the huge amounts of electronic waste in the state.B. The regulations on dumping dangerous substances into landfills.C. The funding of local initiatives to reuse waste electronic devices.D. The sales of the second-hand electronic devices to foreign countries.65. High-tech groups believe that if an extra fee is charged on every TV or computer purchased in California, consumers will ______________.A. hesitate to upgrade their computersB. abandon online shoppingC. strongly protest against such a chargeD. buy them from other states66. We learn from the passage that much of California’s electronic waste has been ____________.A. dumped into local landfillsB. exported to foreign countriesC. collected by non-profit agenciesD. recycled by computer manufacturersDA new argument has been put forward as to whether penguins are disturbed by the presence of tourists in Antarctica.Previous research by scientists from Keil University in Germany monitored Adelie penguins and noted thatC. Penguin reduction is closed related to tourist behavior.D. Tourists are not responsible for the fall in penguin numbers.68.Which ONE argument of the following is stated in the passage?A. Penguins are harder to research when they have young.B. Tour operators should encourage tourists to avoid Antarctica.C. Not all penguins behave in the same way.D. Penguins need better protection from tourists.69.What do you notice about the views presented in the passage?A. They are groundless.B. They are factual.C. They are descriptive.D.

Did you know that falling down is the leading cause of injury death for Americans aged 65 and older?Each year 35 to 40 percent of older adult Americans fall at least once.Falling down is not just the result of getting older. Falling can be caused by a variety of circumstances, and many falls can be prevented.Here are 4 simple steps you can take to significantly reduce your risk of injury from falling down.Improve Your Body Balance with Exercise to Prevent Falling● If you don’t have a regular exercise program, start one. Lack of exercise leads to weakness, and that increases your chances of falling.● Exercises can improve your body balance and flexibility at any age. Try exercises like Yoga and Tai Chi.● If you are over 50 and haven’t exercised regularly, check with your health care provider about the best type of exercise program for you.Increase Your Home’s Accessibility and Safety to Reduce Falling RisksAbout half of all falls happen at home. To increase accessibility and make your home safer:● Remove items you might trip over from stairs and places where you walk.● Remove small throw rugs(易滑地垫)or use double-sided tape to keep rugs from slipping.● Have grab bars installed next to your toilet, and install grab bars in your tub or shower.● Improve the lighting in your home.● Make sure all stairways have handrails and sufficient lighting.● Wear shoes that give good support and have thin non-slip soles.You might also consider avoiding lightweight slippers ( especially backless styles), which can reduce your feeling of control.Prevent Falling : Watch Out for Medication Side EffectsAge can effect the way some medications work in your body, so if you have been taking any over-the-counter medications for a while, it’s important to tell your health care provider. He or she will be able to tell you if they are still safe for you to take.● Look out for drugs that have side effects including drowsiness(困倦). These side effects can increase your risk of falling . this especially important with over-the-conter cold and flu medications, which can often increase drowsiness.● And don’t forget herbal remedies(草药). Some remedies increase sleepiness and many react with other types of medication, which could increase your risk of falling down. Be sure to check with your health care provider before trying new medication.Want to Prevent Falling? Have Your Vision Checked RegularlyVision problems can increase your chances of falling.●You may be wearing the wrong glasses that cause vision problems or limit your vision.●To reduce your risk of falling , have your vision checked by an eye doctor every nyear for early detection and correction of vision problems. If you can’t see something, it’s harder to avoid it, and this increase your risk of falling.71. Steps/ Measures/Ways 72. balance 73. regularly 74. fall/slip 75.

A56.The purpose of this passage to .A.make your study more fun and efficientB.introduce some apps used on gadgetsC.advertise high-tech teaching waysD.promote new application programs57.According to the passage, we can know that .A.the three apps all support audio and photo forms.B.college study is undoubtebtedly full of ease and funC.college students used to do research work in the library or via computersD.students can record lectures and send them to the cloud without permission58.Which of the following is true about the apps?A.They can only be used on smartphones.B.Evemote and Wikipanion Plus are free.C.Evemote can merely be used on a computer.D.They improve learning efficiency and pleasure.BIt is often assumed that people with parents who lived to be very old are more likely to live to a grand old age themselves."But that's just not true - our study shows that hereditary factors don't play a major role and that lifestyle has the biggest impact." says professor Lars Wilhelmsen, referring to the 1913 Men Study that formed the basis of the current research.Those who did not smoke, consumed mild amounts of coffee and had a good socio-economic status at the age of 50 (measured in terms of housing costs), as well as good physical working ability at the age of 54 and low cholesterol (胆固醇) at 50 had the greatest chance of celebrating their 90th birthday."We're breaking new ground here." says Wilhelmsen. "Many of these factors have previously been identified as playing a role in cardiovascular(心血管的 )disease, but here we are showing for the first time that they are important for survival in general,"He believes that it is significant that the research illustrates so clearly that it is thesum of our own habits that has the biggest impact."The study clearly shows that we can influence several of the factors that decide how old we get," says Wilhelmsen. "This is positive not only for the individual, but also for society as it doesn't need any major drug costs,"The study has been published in the Journal of Internal Medicine.The 1913 Men study started up in 1963. A third of all male 50-year-olds in Gothenburg were called for a check-up that focused on cardiovascular health. Every ten years since, a new group of 50-year-olds has been called in and those who were already taking part in the study have been given another check-up. This has enabled researchers to follow the development of illnesses in a specific age group, and to compare the health of 50-year-olds in 2003 with that of 50-year-olds in 1963, for example. Women have also been included in the study since 2003. Data have been studied over the years. including BMI (体质指数), smoking habits, cholesterol, exercise habits and blood pressure,The men born in l913 were examined when they were 50, 54,60, 67, 75 and 80. Of the 855 men who took part in the study from the start, lll (13%) were still alive at the age of 90. Over the years the material has brought out many research articles. An interesting result came in 2008 when researchers were able to show that the drop in the number of smokers, combined with lower cholesterol levels and lower blood pressure, between 1963 and 2003 could offer an explanation for the marked downturn in the number of heart attacks during this 40-year period.59. Which of the following statements is true'?A.Socio-economic status determines how healthy we are.B.Cholesterol plays an important role in keeping us alive.C.The amount of coffee consumption has an effect on our health.D.How long we can live depends on how long our parents lived.60.The 1913 Men Study helps us to realize that .A.we can do something to lengthen our lifeB. we don't need to take drugs for our diseasesC. we can always predict how long we can liveD. we need to balance the numbers of men and women61.The earlier men involved in the 1913 Men Study were examined in for the second time.A.1917 B.1967 C.1923 D.197362. From the article we can infer that_ .A.more men than women are in the habit of smokingB.scientists began to study men's habits in the year 1913C.women tend to Live a longer life than man because of their good lifestyleD.heart attack is related to smoking, cholesterol take-in and blood pressureCMany people believe that the common garden slug【鼻涕虫) is nothing more than a pest that should be wiped out. In attempts to beautify their yards, people employ various poisons, strategically chosen plants, and gardening techniques. Success is attained when no trace of slugscan be found, although the worn-out gardener still watches and waits for their return, ascompletely ridding a garden of slugs is almost impossible.Experts, however, have discovered that the slug's evil reputation as an enemy of home gardeners may, in fact, be groundless to some degree. Although it is true that a slug can devour【吞食)garden plants from the roots up in amazing quantities, it also produces nutrients(养分)for the soil, which help other plants grow. The diet of a slug consists of plant waste and mould, as well as living plants, making it a sort of natural recycling center. The unique structure of a slug digestive system enables it to take these discarded(弃置) products, transform them into the nutrients that plants need, and then release those nutrients harmlessly as wastes.To some, this situation is unacceptable. No gardener wants to sacrifice his or her plants just to gain a few nutrients that could easily be provided by fertilizers(化肥)In order to achieve a balance, both slug and gardener may have to compromise some things. One relatively easy step is to separate plants with high slug appeal from those with low appeal. That way, the sections of the garden spared for plants with high slug appeal can contain plants that the gardener is willing to sacrifice so as to protect those plants that have a lower slug appeal . Another possibility is to leave some ground-covering plants in a less tidy state, since slugs particularly enjoy semi-decayed (半腐烂的)plant matter. The slugs will then be drawn toward this decaying matter instead of toward the living plants.These measures may seem slow and difficult but they are still preferable to commercial slug repellents (驱虫剂) for several reasons. The topsoil of a garden is often highly lacking in nutrients, due to chemical damage caused by just such products. The fertilizer industry sells millions of pounds of dirt mixed with the nutrients necessary for a healthy garden every year. Yet these are the very same minerals that a healthy slug population would provide at no cost. Moreover, since slugs find newly dead slugs highly appetizing. the slug population is unlikely to decreasesignificantly as a result of these severe measures.63.According to the passage, the wise way to deal with slug problem is that we should _ ,A.apply as many kinds of commercial repellents as possible to the plant rootsB.sacrifice some plants and keep semi-decayed plant matter as food for slugsC.employ all possible gardening techniques to get rid of slugs completelyD.protect the garden from slugs by keeping it in a clean and tidy state 64.Commercial slug repellents are not advisable, because they__ __A.do chemical harm to the top soil of a gardenB.make chemical fertilizers not so effectiveC.make products not so healthy for eatingD.they help slugs reproduce more quickly65.Which word can be used to complete the structure of the passage?A.plants B.mould C.nutrients D.poisonsD"Joe? Is chat you?" The woman speaking to me at he baseball game looked somewhat familiar, "Marci? ""It IS you ! " she exclaimed, smiling broadly. "God, it's good to see you again !"It was good to see Marci, too. Very often during the past few decades, I've wondered about her, I almost tried to reach her a few years ago after talking to a shared friend, who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci. So, running into her at the baseball game was, at the very least, just happening by chance.We spent a few minutes talking about the business of our lives: kids and grandkids, husbands and houses, education and recreation. It's always a little upsetting to see how few words are required to summarize 32 years of living. We played a little "have you seen...?" and "did you know,..?" And we recalled the good old, bad old days we used to spend together.Then Marci grew quiet for a moment, looking out over the crowd walking about the marketing area at the stadium."You know, Joe.” she said, "I've always wanted t o tell you...how...you know...how sorry I am for the way I treated you."Hearing that, I felt I was suffering extreme embarrassment. One does not like to remember when one has been rid of by others roughly and suddenly."It's OK." I said. "No big deal." At least, I thought to myself, not now."But I was so stupid: she continued.Yes, you were. I thought. "We were both pretty young:' I said."I know," she said. "But that's no excuse for..." She hesitated. then continued. "It's just always bothered me, remembering how mean I was to you. And I've wanted to tell you that I'm sorry. So...I'm sorry."The smile on her face was warm and sincere, and there was something in her eyes, it looked a lot like relief—that melted any remains of icy barriers that may have built up within me during the years since she had played Wif'fle ball with my heart."OK:'I said. "Apology accepted!Overcome by the sweetness of the moment. I reached an arm around her and gave her a quick hug Just then, the crowd erupted with a huge cheer, and Marci and I both returned our attention to the game By the time I looked over to where she had been, she was gone. But the warm, wonderful feeling of our brief exchange was still there, and continues to this day whenever I think about it .We all carry bitter, discomforting memories of deeds done or undone, and words said or unsaid. And we all bear wounds —some slight, some not so slight—that have been inflicted(打击) upon us by others.The healing balm of forgiveness can calm a troubled conscience and bring peace to an injured soul, even years after the fact.Of course,it isn't enough to just say “I’m sorry,”and "You're forgiven." While there is indeed great power in those simple words, it is not available to those who are insincere, or who are only looking for a way to control or exploit.But when those words are truly felt and sincerely expressed , they can open the door to miracles(奇迹 )of the heart and soul –miracles of forgiveness, even at a baseball game.66.When Joe and Marci saw each other by chance at a stadium, they both felt .A.surprised and delighted B.embarrassed and sorryC.sensitive and curious D.upset and concerned67.What happened after they broke up?A.Joe was angry with Marci and decided not to see her again.B.Marci's life was always full of miseries.C.Joe couldn't forget Marci and tried to get in touch with her.D.They made up with their friend's help.68.
