Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneThe first McDonald’s only sold hamburgers and French fries. It was built in 1953 in Downey, California, and is now the oldest Golden Arches in America.McDonald’s says the building should be torn down, since it was damaged in an earthquake. In addition, it was losing money there. There was no room for drive-thru window, or for indoor seating. After the earthquake, they say it wasn’t possible to fix it. They want to build a copy of this building at another location instead.The citizens in Downey are trying to save the small building, because it carries many of their good memories. They’re angry that the building is in danger and that their memories are as well. They think McDonald’s is using the earthquake as an excuse to avoid making efforts to restore the restaurant.Historians say it has become a cultural symbol and stands for the history of McDonald’s, which was invented by the McDonald brothers rather than Ray Kroc, who later bought the restaurant but is now considered its founder. Many people think tearing down the building reflects McDonald’s attempt to rewrite history.Now a group of historians wants the building to be put on the National Register of Historic Places so that the city of Downey will be able to stop McDonald’s from tearing it down. McDonald’s is angry and has abandoned the building.Everyone hopes McDonald’s and the city of Downey will find peace. The building is still there, but boards cover the windows. Even so, people drive by to remember their McDonald’s. They take pictures ofa moment in history before it’s taken away.31. McDonald’s wanted to tear down the first McDonald’s buildingbecause ____________.A. it became irreparableB. the repair would be too costlyC. it left people with bad memoriesD. it already had a copy elsewhere32. Downey citizens don’t agree to tearing down the small buildingbecause______________.A. it would cause many people to lose their jobsB. it would carry away many of their good memoriesC. it would make the city lose a lot of travelersD. it would mean the decline of McDonald’s33. It can be inferred from the passage that ______________.A. McDonald’s real reason for wanting to close down therestaurant is moneyB. The McDonald brothers were not as successful and influentialas Ray KrocD. McDonald’s has abandoned the plan of tearing down the building34. Which of the following words best describes the building now?A. lonelyB. shabbyC. beautifulD. nostalgic35. This passage is mainly about ______________.A. the long history of the first McDonald’sB. the uncertain fate of the first McDonald’sC. the lasting battle between McDonald’s and DowneyD. the great value of McDonald’s in American culturePassage TwoWhat's the best way to protect, a tender, green seedling from the hungry stomach of deer? Give the seedling bad breath! The same chemical that gives people bad breath after they have eaten garlic can save small trees from being eaten by animals.A kind of chemical selenium (硒), which is also found in garlic, is planted in the soil near a young tree. The tree's roots absorb the selenium, which is then carried to the leaves,From there the selenium is used to form a chemical called dimethy selenide (⼄烷硒化物)---the same chemical made in the human mouth after eating garlic. As deer wander around looking for food, they smell the seedlings' leaves and leave the plants alone.The selenium is important. Why? Because each year deer eat millions of dollars' worth of trees farm seedlings.So far, selenium has been tested only on Douglas fir (枞树) seedlings, but researchers think they could protect fruit trees and garden plants, too.36. When people eat garlic, ______.A. they send out a horrible smellB. they are out of breathC. they will feel sickD. it is hard for them to. breathe37. According to this passage the bad smell given off from those leavesis that of ______.A. seleniumB. dimethy selenideC. deerD. a young tree38. The deer don't touch those young trees because ______.C. the young tree aren't fit for the deer to eatD. the leaves of the young trees smell like garlic39. Up till the time the news was announced, this kind of chemicalwas used ______.A. all over the worldB. all over the United StatesC. on fruit trees and garden treesD. on Douglas fir young trees40. The best title of this passage is ______.A. Hungry Deer and Young TreesB. Why Don't Deer Eat young Fruit TreesC. Plants Saved by "Bad Breath"D. How to Protect Young TreesPassage ThreeOne of the greatest problems for those settlers in Nebraska in the last quarter of the previous century was fuel. Little of the state was forested when the first settlers arrived and it is probable that by 1880, only about one-third of the originally forested area remained, down to the mere 1 percent of the state's 77,000 square miles. With wood and coal out of the question, and with fuel needed year-round for cooking, and during the harsh winter months for heating, some solution had to be found. Somewhat improbably, the buffalo provided the answer. Buffalo chips (⼲粪块)were found to burn evenly, hotly, and cleanly, with little smoke and interestingly, no door. Soon, collecting them becamea way of life for the settlers' children who would pick them up on their way to and from school, or take part in competitions designed to counteract their natural reluctance. Even a young man, seeking to impress the girl he wanted to marry, would arrive with a large bags of chips rather than with a box of candy or a bunch of flowers.41. What is the main topic of this passage?A. The solution to the Nebraska settlers' fuel problem.B. Life in Nebraska in the late nineteenth century.C. The importance of the American buffalo.D. Deforestation in Nebraska in the late nineteenth century.42. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Nebraska was not a densely-forested state even before thesettlers arrived.B. The children enjoyed collecting the buffalo chips.C. The children spent a lot of time collecting the chips.D. Buffalo chips were satisfactory as a fuel.43. The passage implies that buffalo chips were needed ______.A. in greater amounts in summerD. only in winter44. Which of the following does the author not express surprise at?A. The children needed competition to them.B. The buffalo chips gave off no smell.C. Buffalo chips were the answer to the settlers' fuel problem.D. Young men took bags of buffalo chips to their girl friends.45. What's the best title of the passage?A. Early SettlersB. One Use of Buffalo ChipsC. Nebraska's Problem.D. How Young Men Express Their Love for Girls.Passage FourOne of the most authoritative voices speaking to us today is, of course, the voice of the advertisers. It shouts at us from the television screen and the radio loudspeakers; waves to us from every page of the newspaper; signals to us from the roadside bill-boards all day and flashes messages to us in colored lights all night.Advertising has been among England’s biggest growth industries since the war. Perhaps the reason is that advertising saves the manufacturers from having to think about the customer. At the stage of designing and developing a product, there is quite enough to think about without worrying over whether anybody will want to buy it. The designer is busy enough without adding customer-appeal to all his other problems of man hours and machine tolerances and stress factors. So they just go ahead and make the thing and leave it to the advertiser to find eleven ways of making it appeal to purchasers after they have finished it, by pretending that it confers status, or attracts love, or signifies manliness.Other manufacturers find advertising saves them from changing their product. And manufacturers hate change. The ideal product is one which goes on unchanged for ever. If, therefore, for one reason or another, some alteration seems called for --how much better to change the image, the packet or the pitch made by the product, rather than go to all the inconvenience of changing the product itself.46. The author appears ______ modern advertising.A. to likeB. to be indifferent toC. to dislikeD. to know how to deal with47. According to the passage, advertising saves the manufacturersfrom ______.A. thinking about the customerB. changing their productsC. improving their productsD. both A and B48. It is stated in the passage that _____ are responsible for givinga product customer-appeal.C. advertisersD. manufacturers49. According to the passage, some manufacturers would prefer tochange ______ of their product instead of the product itself.A. the production cost.B. the qualityC. the market valueD. the image50. The best title for the passage might be ______.A. Advertising since the WarB. Advertising and ManufacturersC. Advertising- England's Biggest IndustryD. Advertising and PurchasersIII. Cloze (10 points)Directions. There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the answer that BEST fits into the passage. Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.If you ask people to name the person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you may get answers(51)________ “Shakespeare", "Samuel Johnson" and "Webster", but none of these men had any effect at all (52)________ to a man who didn't even speak English--William I.In 1066 the Normans led by William I (53)________ the Saxons (撒克逊⼈) and began their rule over England.

The answer may be a resounding "yes!" 1 helping you feel close and 2 to people you care about, it turns out that hugs can bring a 3 of health benefits to your body and mind. Believe it or not, a warm embrace might even help you 4 getting sick this winter.In a recent study 5 over 400 health adults, researchers from Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania examined the effects of perceived social support and the receipt of hugs 6 the participants' susceptibility to developing the common cold after being 7 to the virus .People who perceived greater social support were less likely to come 8 with a cold ,and the researchers 9 that the stress-reducing effects of hugging 10 about 32 percent of that beneficial effect. 11 among those who got a cold, the ones who felt greater social support and received more frequent hugs had less severe 12 ."Hugging protects people who are under stress from the 13 risk for colds that's usually 14 with stress," notes Sheldon Cohen, a professor of psychology at Carnegie.

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1First two hours , now three hours-this is how far in advance authorities are recommending people show up to catch a domestic flight , at least at some major U.S. airports with increasingly massive security lines.Americans are willing to tolerate time-consuming security procedures in return for increased safety. The crash of Egypt Air Flight 804,which terrorists may have downed over the Mediterranean Sea ,provides another tragic reminder of why. But demanding too much of air travelers or providing too little security in return undermines public support for the process. And it should: Wasted time is a drag on Americans' economic and private lives, not to mention infuriating.Last year, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) found in a secret check that undercover investigators were able to sneak weapons---both fake and real-past airport security nearly every time they tried .Enhanced security measures since then, combined with a rise in airline travel due to the improving Chicago's O'Hare International .It is not yet clear how much more effective airline security has become-but the lines are obvious.Part of the issue is that the government did not anticipate the steep increase in airline travel , so the TSA is now rushing to get new screeners on the line. Part of the issue is thatairports have only so much room for screening lanes. Another factor may be that more people are trying to overpack their carry-on bags to avoid checked-baggage fees, though the airlines strongly dispute this.There is one step the TSA could take that would not require remodeling airports or rushing to hire: Enroll more people in the PreCheck program. PreCheck is supposed to be a win-win for travelers and the TSA. Passengers who pass a background check are eligible to use expedited screening lanes. This allows the TSA wants to enroll 25 million people in PreCheck.It has not gotten anywhere close to that, and one big reason is sticker shock. Passengers must pay $85 every five years to process their background checks. Since the beginning, this price tag has been PreCheck's fatal flaw. Upcoming reforms might bring the price to a more reasonable level. But Congress should look into doing so directly, by helping to finance PreCheck enrollment or to cut costs in other ways.The TSA cannot continue diverting resources into underused PreCheck lanes while most of the traveling public suffers in unnecessary lines. It is long past time to make the program work.21. the crash of Egypt Air Flight 804 is mentioned to[A] stress the urgency to strengthen security worldwide.[B] highlight the necessity of upgrading major US airports.[C] explain Americans' tolerance of current security checks.[D] emphasis the importance of privacy protection.22. which of the following contributions to long waits at major airport?[A] New restrictions on carry-on bags.[B] The declining efficiency of the TSA.[C] An increase in the number of travelers.[D] Frequent unexpected secret checks.23.The word "expedited" (Line 4, Para.5) is closest in meaning to[A] faster.[B] quieter.[C] wider.[D] cheaper.24. One problem with the PreCheck program is[A] A dramatic reduction of its scale.[B] Its wrongly-directed implementation.[C] The government's reluctance to back it.[D] An unreasonable price for enrollment.25. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?[A] Less Screening for More Safety[B] PreCheck-a Belated Solution[C] Getting Stuck in Security Lines[D] Underused PreCheck LanesText 2"The ancient Hawaiians were astronomers," wrote Queen Liliuokalani, Hawaii's last reigning monarch, in 1897. Star watchers were among the most esteemed members of Hawaiian society. Sadly, all is not well with astronomy in Hawaii today. Protests have erupted over construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope(TMT), a giant observatory that promises to revolutionize humanity's view of the cosmos.At issue is the TMT's planned location on Mauna Kea, a dormant volcano worshiped by some Hawaiians as the piko , that connects the Hawaiian Islands to the heavens. But Mauna Kea is also home to some of the world's most powerful telescopes. Rested in the Pacific Ocean, Mauna Kea's peak rises above the bulk of our planet's dense atmosphere, where conditions allow telescopes to obtain images of unsurpassed clarity.Opposition to telescopes on Mauna Kea is nothing new. A small but vocal group of Hawaiians and environments have long viewed their presence as disrespect for sacred land and a painful reminder of the occupation of what was once a sovereign nation.Some blame for the current controversy belongs to astronomers. In their eagerness to build bigger telescopes, they forgot that science is the only way of understanding the world. They did not always prioritize the protection of Mauna Kea's fragile ecosystems or its holiness to the island's inhabitants. Hawaiian culture is not a relic of the past; it is a living culture undergoing a renaissance today.Yet science has a cultural history, too, with roots going back to the dawn of civilization. The same curiosity to find what lies beyond the horizon that first brought early Polynesians to Hawaii's shores inspires astronomers today to explore the heavens. Calls to disassemble all telescopes on Mauna Kea or to ban future development there ignore the reality that astronomy and Hawaiian culture both seek to answer big questions about who we are, where we come from and where we are going. Perhaps that is why we explore the starry skies, as if answering a primal calling to know ourselves and our true ancestral homes.The astronomy community is making compromises to change its use of Mauna Kea. The TMTsite was chosen to minimize the telescope's visibility around the island and to avoid archaeological and environmental impact. To limit the number of telescopes on Mauna Kea, old ones will be removed at the end of their lifetimes and their sites returned to a natural state. There is no reason why everyone cannot be welcomed on Mauna Kea to embrace their cultural heritage and to study the stars.26. Queen Liliuokalani's remark in Paragraph 1 indicates[A] its conservative view on the historical role of astronomy.[B] the importance of astronomy in ancient Hawaiian society.[C] the regrettable decline of astronomy in ancient times.[D] her appreciation of star watchers' feats in her time.27.Mauna Kea is deemed as an ideal astronomical site due to[A] its geographical features[B] its protective surroundings.[C] its religious implications.[D] its existing infrastructure.28.The construction of the TMT is opposed by some locals partly because[A] it may risk ruining their intellectual life.[B] it reminds them of a humiliating history.[C] their culture will lose a chance of revival.[D] they fear losing control of Mauna Kea.29.It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that progress in today's astronomy[A] is fulfilling the dreams of ancient Hawaiians.[B] helps spread Hawaiian culture across the world.[C] may uncover the origin of Hawaiian culture.[D] will eventually soften Hawaiians' hostility.30.The author's attitude toward choosing Mauna Kea as the TMT site is one of[A] severe criticism.[B] passive acceptance.[C] slight hesitancy.[D] full approval.Text 3Robert F. Kennedy once said that a country's GDP measures "everything except that which makes life worthwhile." With Britain voting to leave the European Union, and GDP already predicted to slow as a result, it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to.The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century. Many argue that it is a flawed concept. It measures things that do not matter and misses things that do. By most recent measures, the UK's GDP has been the envy of the Western world, with record low unemployment and high growth figures. If everything was going so well, then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit, despite the warnings about what it could do to their country's economic prospects?A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into well-being sheds some light on that question. Across the 163 countries measured, the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful improvements for its citizens. Rather than just focusing on GDP, over 40 different sets of criteria from health, education and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more rounded assessment of how countries are performing.While all of these countries face their own challenges , there are a number of consistent themes . Yes , there has been a budding economic recovery since the 2008 global crash , but in key indicators in areas such as health and education , major economies have continued to decline . Yet this isn't the case with all countries . Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including civil society , income equality and the environment.This is a lesson that rich countries can learn : When GDP is no longer regarded as the sole measure of a country's success, the world looks very different .So, what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations , as a measure , it is no longer enough . It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes - all things that contribute to a person's sense of well-being.The sharp hit to growth predicted around the world and in the UK could lead to a decline in the everyday services we depend on for our well-being and for growth .

But it did so while holding its nose at the ethics of his conduct, which included accepting gifts such as a Rolex watch and a Ferrari automobile from a company seeking access to government.The high court's decision said the judge in Mr. McDonnell's trial failed to tell a jury that it must look only at his "official acts," or the former governor's decisions on "specific" and "unsettled" issues related to his duties.Merely helping a gift-giver gain access to other officials, unless done with clear intent to pressure those officials, is not corruption, the justices found.The court did suggest that accepting favors in return for opening doors is "distasteful" and "nasty." But under anti-bribery laws, proof must be made of concrete benefits, such as approval of a contract or regulation. Simply arranging a meeting, making a phone call, or hosting an event is not an "official act".The court's ruling is legally sound in defining a kind of favoritism that is not criminal. Elected leaders must be allowed to help supporters deal with bureaucratic problems without fear of prosecution for bribery." The basic compact underlying representative government," wrote Chief Justice John Roberts for the court," assumes that public officials will hear from their constituents and act on their concerns."But the ruling reinforces the need for citizens and their elected representatives, not the courts, to ensure equality of access to government. Officials must not be allowed to play favorites in providing information or in arranging meetings simply because an individual or group provides a campaign donation or a personal gift. This type of integrity requires well-enforced laws in government transparency, such as records of official meetings, rules on lobbying, and information about each elected leader's source of wealth.Favoritism in official access can fan public perceptions of corruption. But it is not always corruption. Rather officials must avoid double standards, or different types of access for average people and the wealthy. If connections can be bought, a basic premise of democratic society-that all are equal in treatment by government-is undermined. Good governance rests on an understanding of the inherent worth of each individual.The court's ruling is a step forward in the struggle against both corruption and official favoritism.36. The undermined sentence (Para.1) most probably shows that the court[A] avoided defining the extent of McDonnell's duties.[B] made no compromise in convicting McDonnell.[C] was contemptuous of McDonnell's conduct.[D] refused to comment on McDonnell's ethics.37. According to Paragraph 4, an official act is deemed corruptive only if it involves[A] leaking secrets intentionally.[B] sizable gains in the form of gifts.[C] concrete returns for gift-givers.[D] breaking contracts officially.38. The court's ruling is based on the assumption that public officials are[A] justified in addressing the needs of their constituents.[B] qualified to deal independently with bureaucratic issues.[C] allowed to focus on the concerns of their supporters.[D] exempt from conviction on the charge of favoritism.39. Well-enforced laws in government transparency are needed to[A] awaken the conscience of officials.[B] guarantee fair play in official access.[C] allow for certain kinds of lobbying.[D] inspire hopes in average people.40. The author's attitude toward the court's ruling is[A] sarcastic.[B] tolerant.[C] skeptical.[D] supportivePart BDirections:The following paragraphs are given in a wrong order. For Questions 41-45, you are required to reorganize these paragraphs into a coherent article by choosing from the list A-G to filling them into the numbered box. Paragraphs B and D have been correctly placed. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)[A]The first published sketch, "A Dinner at Poplar Walk" brought tears to Dickens's eyes when he discovered it in the pages of The Monthly Magazine. From then on his sketches ,which appeared under the pen name "Boz" in The Evening Chronicle, earned him a modest reputation.[B]The runaway success of The Pickwick Papers, as it is generally known today, secured Dickens's fame. There were Pickwick coats and Pickwick cigars, and the plump, spectacled hero, Samuel Pickwick, became a national figure.[C]Soon after Sketches by Boz appeared, a publishing firm approached Dickens to write a story in monthly installments, as a backdrop for a series of woodcuts by the ten-famous artist Robert Seymour, who had originated the idea for the story. With characteristic confidence, Dickens successfully insisted that Seymour's pictures illustrate his own story instead. After the first installment, Dickens wrote to the artist and asked him to correct a drawing Dickens felt was not faithful enough to his prose. Seymour made the change, went into his backyard, and expressed his displeasure by committing suicide. Dickens and his publishers simply pressed on with a new artist. The comic novel, The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, appeared serially in 1836 and 1837, and was first published in book form in 1837.[D]Charles Dickens is probably the best-known and, to many people, the greatest English novelist of the 19th century. A moralist, satirist, and social reformer. Dickens crafted complex plots and striking characters that capture the panorama of English society.[E]Soon after his father's release from prison, Dickens got a better job as errand boy in law offices. He taught himself shorthand to get an even better job later as a court stenographer and as a reporter in Parliament. At the same time, Dickens, who had a reporter's eye for transcribing the life around him especially anything comic or odd, submitted short sketches to obscure magazines.[F] Dickens was born in Portsmouth, on England's southern coast. His father was a clerk in the British navy pay office -a respectable position, but wish little social status. His paternal grandparents, a steward and a housekeeper possessed even less status, having been servants, and Dickens later concealed their background. Dicken's mother supposedly came from a more respectable family. Yet two years before Dicken's birth, his mother's father was caught stealing and fled to Europe, never to return. The family's increasing poverty forced Dickens out of school at age 12 to work in Warren's Blacking Warehouse, a shoe-polish factory, where the other working boys mocked him as "the young gentleman." His father was then imprisoned for debt. The humiliations of his father's imprisonment and his labor in the blacking factory formed Dicken's greatest wound and became his deepest secret. He could not confide them even to his wife, although they provide the unacknowledged foundation of his fiction.[G] After Pickwick, Dickens plunged into a bleaker world. In Oliver Twist, e traces an orphan's progress from the workhouse to the criminal slums of London. Nicholas Nickleby, his next novel, combines the darkness of Oliver Twist with the sunlight of Pickwick. The popularity of these novels consolidated Dichens' as a nationally and internationally celebrated man of letters.D →41. →42. →43. →44. →B →45.【答案】41. [F] Dickens was born in Portsmouth42.

Your translation should be written neatly on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)The growth of the use of English as the world`s primary language for international communication has obviously been continuing for several decades.(46)But even as the number of English speakers expands further there are signs that the global predominance of the language may fade within the foreseeable future.Complex international, economic, technological and culture change could start to diminish the leading position of English as the language of the world market, and UK interests which enjoy advantage from the breath of English usage would consequently face new pressures. Those realistic possibilities are highlighted in the study presented by David Graddol(47)His analysis should therefore end any self-contentedness among those who may believe that the global position of English is so stable that the young generation of the United Kingdom do not need additional language capabilities.David Graddol concludes that monoglot English graduates face a bleak economic future as qualified multilingual youngsters from other countries are proving to have a competitive advantage over their British counterparts in global companies and organizations. Alongside that,(48)many countries are introducing English into the primary-school curriculum but British schoolchildren and students do not appear to be gaining greater encouragement to achieve fluency in other languages.If left to themselves, such trends will diminish the relative strength of the English language in international education markets as the demand for educational resources in languages, such as Spanish ,Arabic or Mandarin grows and international business process outsourcing in other language such as Japanese, French and German, spreads.(49)The changes identified by David Graddol all present clear and major challenges to UK`s providers of English language teaching to people of other countries and to broader education business sectors. The English language teaching sector directly earns nearly &1.3 billion for the UK in invisible exports and our other education related explores earn up to &10 billion a year more. As the international education market expands, the recent slowdown in the number of international students studying in the main English-speaking countries is likely to continue, especially if there are no effective strategic policies to prevent such slippage.The anticipation of possible shifts in demand provided by this study is significant:(50) It gives a basis to all organization which seek to promote the learning and very different operating environment. That is a necessary and practical approach. In this as in much else, those who wish to influence the future must prepare for it.【答案】(46) 但是即使当下英语使用者的人群还在进一步扩大,有迹象表明:在可预见的未来,英语可能会逐渐失去其全球主导地位。

2024年全国高考仿真模拟卷一英语

2024年全国高考仿真模拟卷一英语一、阅读理解第一节阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A.B.C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

(共15小题:每小题2分,满分30分)(共15题;共30分)ADuring ancient times,children didn’t have smartphones,iPad or computers to entertain themselves. Instead,they came up with interesting games to play.★Stone ballsDuring the Qing Dynasty,kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China,and it was often played in the winter to protect kids from the cold.Stones were carved into small balls and kicked along with feet.In1999,the sport was included in the6th National Ethnic Group Traditional Sports Meeting held in Beijing.★Flying kitesKites have quite a long history.The earliest kites were made of wood,instead of paper.Nowadays, the four most famous kites are the Beijing kite,Tianjin kite,Weifang kite and Nantong kite,of which each has distinctive features.The kite which resembles a swallow is a well-known Beijing style.★Hide-and-seekHide-and-seek is a traditional game for children,popular around the nation.There are two ways to play:covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to tease(戏弄)him or,more commonly, participants hide and one child must try to find them.★Playing diabolosA diabolo is always made of wood or bamboo and has empty space in the center.By juggling(边抛边接)the diabolo on the rope,the high-speed spinning diabolos will make a sound like a whistle.Playing diabolos is an interesting folk game,especially popular in North China.Playing diabolos was also included in the first group of national intangible cultural heritage.1.Why did ancient children often play stone balls in the winter?A.To practice their feet B.To warm themselvesC.To train their skills D.To relax themselves.2.Which kites are swallow-shaped?A.Weifang kites.B.Tianjin kites.C.Beijing kites.D.Nantong kites.3.According to the passage,which one is a national intangible cultural heritage?A.Stone balls.B.Flying kites.C.Hide-and-seek.D.Playing diabolosBTechnology usually distracts us from nature.But now technology is“offering us an opportunity to listen to nonhumans in powerful ways,reviving our connection to the natural world,”wrote professor Karen Bakker in her new book,The Sounds of Life:How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants.All around the animal kingdom,there are sounds that we struggle to pick up and decipher.Elephants, for example,communicate with each other using infrasound,a sound frequency far below our human hearing range.Coral in the ocean also communicates with each other through sound waves,with one purpose being to attract baby coral to areas where it can successfully grow.This is a shocking fact as coral doesn’t have any ears!Scientists have placed listening devices in these environments to pick up sounds humans are normally unable to detect.After the sounds are recorded,AI is then able to determine their meaning,according to the news website Vox.There are now whole databases of whale songs and honeybee dances.Bakker wrote that one day this information could be turned into“a zoological version of Google Translate”.One animal language Bakker wrote about is that of the elephant.She explained how elephants“have a different signal for honeybee,which is a threat,and a different signal for human,”in an interview with Vox.“Moreover,they distinguish between threatening humans and non-threatening humans,”she said.This technology can not only understand the animals,but also communicate back to them.For example,bees use dances to communicate to their peers where to go in search of nectar.A research team in Germany,therefore,fed the bee language AI database system into a robot bee,allowing the robot to create a dance routine that can tell the bees which direction to move,Vox reported.Whereas in the past language creation had been limited to mainly apes,with there being many examples of chimpanzees(黑猩猩)having been taught sign language to communicate with humans,this new technology now allows humans to socialize with different animals throughout the animal kingdom.4.What does the underlined word“decipher”most probably mean in paragraph2? A.Understand.B.Hear.C.Produce.D.Record.5.What helps baby coral choose their home?A.Infrasound.B.Sounds within human range of hearing. C.Sounds through its ears.D.Sound waves.6.What can we infer from the passage?A.Bees used dances to warn their peers of danger.B.Human fed listening devices into coral to detect it.C.Elephants have different signals for different purposes.D.Elephants can tell whether there are threatening animals around.7.Why did researchers create the robot bee?A.To collect more bee dances.B.To convey direction to bees.C.To learn the language of bees.D.To help bees search for their friends.CWhen you are travelling in Thailand,which means of transport is the best choice?You can rent a variety of motorbikes or bikes in Thailand.It seems to be very popular in most of the beaches and islands along the places in the north.The most popular bikes are the little125cc Honda Dream which you can get for about150baht(铢)a day or as little as3,000baht per month,making it the cheapest way to tour Thailand for the people from other countries.Sometimes you will have to go somewhere by taxi.When you are in cities in Thailand,especially in Bangkok,always remember to get a taxi that is traveling on the roads.Some drivers outside hotels refuse to use the meter(计程表).They will ask a price which is several times the price when they use the meter!The quality of the roads in Thailand is generally pretty good,so renting cars is another way to get around.The big car rental companies may offer you slightly older cars at a very reasonable price.It is a little surprising considering that the cost of buying a car in Thailand is more than that in the West.Petrol is also reasonably priced in Thailand,more expensive than American prices,but much cheaper than what is paid in Europe.In the past,Bangkok could be a difficult place to drive in—signs were generally in Thai (泰语)only,making it a hard job to find exactly where you were by looking around.But now,the situation is improved.In a lot of places,even the farthest corners of the country,street signs are in both Thai and English.8.To a foreigner,the cheapest way to get around Thailand is renting a______.A.car B.taxi C.bike D.motorbike9.What is the writer's advice about taking a taxi in Thailand?A.To take a taxi going on the road.B.To take a taxi parked outside hotels.C.To make sure there is a meter in it.D.To bargain with the driver over the price. 10.Why was it difficult to drive in Bangkok in the past?A.Because there were too many traffic jams on the roads.B.Because there were no signs showing directions.C.Because the signs were written only in their own language.D.Because the quality of the roads was not good.11.In which part of magazine can this passage be found?A.Entertainment B.Tourism C.Market D.AdvertisementDWilliam I,who conquered England some930years ago,had wealth,power and an army.Yet although William was very rich by the standard of his time,he had nothing like a flush toilet(抽水马桶),or riding lawn mower(除草机).How did he get by?History books are filled with wealthy people who were poor compared to me.I have storm windows, Croesus did not.Entire nations trembled before Alexander the Great,but he couldn,t buy cat food.Czar Nicholas lacked an electric saw.Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead people,you,d think I,d be content.The trouble is that,like most people,I compare my wealth with that of living persons:neighbors,school classmates,famous TV people.The greed I feel toward my friend Howard,s new kitchen is not reduced by the fact no kings ever had a refrigerator with glass doors.’There is really no rising or falling standard of living.Over the centuries people simply find different things to feel sad about.You,d think that simply not having disease would put us in a good mood,but no, we want a hot bath too.Of course,one way to achieve happiness would be to realize that even by today,s standards the things I own are pretty nice.My house is smaller than the houses of many investments bankers,but even so it has a lot more rooms than my wife and I can keep clean.Besides,to people looking back at our era from a century or two in the future,these bankers,fancy counter tops and my own worn Formica will seem equally shabby.I can,t keep up with my neighbors right now.But just wait.12.What does the underlined phrase“get by”in the first paragraph mean?A.Succeed as a king.B.Deal with complaints.C.Live in s satisfactory way.D.Get some extra money.13.How many historical figures are mentioned to compare lives in the past and present?A.3.B.4.C.5D.614.According to the passage,the author.intends to.A.tell us to be content with lifeB.warn us to live in a simple wayC.teach us to learn lessons from lifeD.encourage us to struggle for wealth15.What,s the author,s attitude towards life?A.Doubtful.B.Optimistic.C.Uncaring.D.Cautious.二、阅读理解第二节七选五(5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)(共1题;共10分)Table manners are the ultimate way to show respect or some accidental disrespect to yourhost.___16___.In France,you are supposed to use two hands to eat—either fork and knife or fork and bread.Bread isn't meant to be an appetizer.___17___When you eat the bread,tear off a piece of it to eat instead of biting directly into the bread.When not in use,the bread belongs on the table or tablecloth instead of the plate.Finishing everything on your plate is a no-no in many Asian countries.___18___Leaving a small amount on your plate symbolizes that you've had your fill and acknowledges your host's generosity.___19___So,tipping,in their culture,is rude.Even if they don’t assume you’re being rude,they can also be very confused by the extra money,thinking you have overpaid.Whether it's a taxi driver,a server, or a bellhop,don't tip them.It's not good manners.Among the local people of China and the Inuit people of Canada,a light burp(打嗝)at the end of a meal is considered a compliment,as it indicates that you've eaten well.___20___,or never leave them upright in a bowl of rice.For this is how food is offered to the spirit of a dead person. A.Furthermore,don't lick your chopsticksB.Instead it serves to assist the food to the forkC.It suggests that your hosts didn't feed you enoughD.Many people in Japan believe that good service is standardE.In Brazil,bread and pizza are normally eaten with a fork and knife,tooF.Here are some of the very specific dining do's and don’ts from around the worldG.You may also drink directly from the soup bowl—spoons,however,are uncommon三、语言知识运用第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)(共1题;共30分)In October,2003I started my work at my local animal shelter’s Adoption Department.Over the years,more than50,000animals have___21___the doors of the shelter.Most of them,I do not remember.

Reading Comprehension (40%)AEveryone knows that the favorite food in the United States is the hamburger. It seems impossible, but people eat 34 billion hamburgers a year. This is enough to make a line of hamburgers around the world four times.The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast-food restaurant. In these restaurants, people order their food, wait just a few minutes, and carry it to their tables themselves. They can eat it in the restaurant or take the food out and eat it at home, at work, or in a park. At some restaurants people can drive up beside a window. They order the food,and a worker hands it to them through the window. They order the food, and a worker hands it to them through the window. Then they eat in their cars.Hamburgers are not the only kind of food that fast-food restaurants serve. Some serve fish, chicken, beef sandwiches, or Mexican food. They also serve fries, shakes, soft drinks, and coffee.Fast-food restaurants are very popular because the service is fast and the food is inexpensive. For many people, this is more important than quality of the food. These restaurants are also popular because the food is always the same. People know that if they eat at a company’s restaurant in the north or south of the city, the food will be the same. If they eat in New York or San Francisco, it will still be the same.Fast service and low cost are important in the United States. One reason is that about 50 percent of all married women with children work outside the home. They are too busy and too tired to cook dinner every night.Is the food at fast-food restaurants good for you? In general, it is all right, except that it ahs too much fat and salt.One thing is sure. People will continue to eat fast foods. In fact, now there are fast-food restaurants in countries all over the world.1.

Mothers who work outside home often have meals in fast-food restaurants.BMrs. Peters stopped playing the piano when she began to work. She had lived in a very small flat(公寓), and there had been no room for a piano. But when she married, she had a new flat which was big enough for one. So she decided to get one and her husband agreed and helped her. She saved some money, and her parents gave her a generous amount of money for her birthday. Then she went to a shop and said, “I’ll choose whichever piano does not cost too much and fits into my living room.”When she had paid for the piano, the shop assistant asked her if she would like him to get it tuned (调音) every few months. Mrs. Peters agreed.A few months later she heard from the shop that a man was coming to tune the piano at ten that morning. Now she had not cleaned the house yet, so it was dusty and untidy. Mrs. Peters hated having even the least amount of dirt, and felt ashamed whenever strange people saw her house like that. So she had to hurry to clean everything carefully. It meant a lot of effort, and it made her hot and tired, but anyhow, by the time the man arrived everything was finished.She opened the door, and the man was standing there with a big dog. “Good morning,” the man said politely, “will it disturb(打扰) you if I bring my dog in, please? I’m blind, and he leads me wherever I go.”6. Mrs. Peters stopped playing the piano______.A. because she began to workB. when she had no room to live inC. because her flat was too small for a pianoD. when she got married7. Mrs. Peter was soon able to buy a piano because ______.A. her parents gave her all the money for itB. she saved enough money for itC. her husband gave her the moneyD. she saved some money and her relatives gave her the rest8. One morning, ______.A. the man was coming to tune her pianoB. Mrs. Peters received a telephone call from the shopC. The piano was sent to her house at 10D. Mrs. Peters was going to clean the house9. “It meant a lot of effort, and it made her hot and tired.” Here, “it” refers to______.A. hating dirtB. cleaning everythingC. waiting for the manD. feeling ashamed of the dirty and untidy house.10. Mrs. Peters had wasted her time getting everything clean as ______.A. the dog would dirty the houseB. the piano tuner could see nothing in the houseC. the dog disturbed Mrs. PetersD. the piano tuner always took the dogCWe know that we have to pay for what we get. If we buy food , we have to pay for it. If a doctor treats us, we know there will be a bill to pay. These are private bills. But there are also public bills that must be paid. Public bills are paid for by the government. In return we get needed services. We all use these services without thinking how we get them, but such services cost money. We pay for these services through taxes.What would happen if everyone in a city stopped paying taxes? The water supply would stop. Water might even become unclean and impure. The streets might not be cleaned. There would no police force to protect people and property. Schools would be closed. People will become sick and disease might spread. We would not want to live in such a city. We all want pure water and food, clean streets, and good schools. We want police to protect us from crime.These services are expensive. The bills get larger each year. We spend public money today for services that we did not have fifty ears ago. For instance, we now use public money to help stop accidents in mines and shops and to help harmers.The chief duty of every government is to protect persons and property. More than three-fourths of the money spent by our government is used for this purpose. The next largest amount of public money goes in teaching and training our citizen. Billions of dollars each year are spent on schools and libraries. Public money is use to pay the teachers and other public officials. Also, a large amount of public fund is spent on roads.The greatest part of the needed funds is raised by taxes. A tax is the money that we all must pay to support the government. The law orders us to pay taxes. We have no choice in the matter. Almost everyone pays some tax in one form or another.Years ago, the government made money form the sale of public lands. But most of the best public lands have now been sold. The money raised was used to help pay the costs of the government. There are still some public lands that contain oil, coal, gas, and other natural products. They could be sold. But we want to save them for future years. So, we all must pay our share for services that make our lives comfortable.11. Who actually pays for the public bills?A. The publicB. The societyC. The governmentD. Both A and C12. Why should everyone pay taxes?A. Because water might even become unclean and impure.B. Because streets might not be cleaned and schools would be closed.C. Because people would become sick and disease might spreadD. Because the government would have funds to work for the welfare of people13. The largest amount of public money is used to ______.A. protect persons and propertyB. stop accidents in minesC. pay the teachersD. build roads14. Which of the following about taxes is not true?A. It’s lawful that everyone pays taxes.B. The taxes raised are used for supporting the government.C. Everyone has his right to make a decision in the matter.D. The government spent a large amount of money on road building.15. Why did the government sell public lands years ago?A. Because those public lands were not rich in natural resources.B. Because the government wanted to benefit from the sale of lands.C. Because the government had to pay all kinds of costs.D. Because people needed lands to build their houses.DAs he closed his service station at 1:20 one Sunday morning, Tony Payseur set on the ground a metal cash box containing $7 000.
