S.A Japanese toy maker declares that they have developed a gadget that translates dog barks into human language and plans to begin selling the gadget——under the name of Bowlingual——in U. S. pet stores and gift shops this summer.Tokyo-based Takara Co. Ltd. says about 300, 000 of the dog translator gadgets have been sold since it was on sale in Japan late last year. It is forecasting far bigger sales once an English language translation for dogs comes to America in August. The United States is home to about 67 million dogs,more than six times the number in Japan."We know that the Americans love their dogs so much, so we don't think they will mind spending $ 120 on this product," the Takara marketing manager said during an interview at a recent pet products conference in Atlanta.Regarded as one of the coolest inventions of 2002 by Time magazine, Bowlingual is made up of a 3 - inch long wireless microphone that is fastened to a dog collar and sends out sounds to a small console (控制台) that is connected to a database (数据库). The console divides each bark into six emotional types——happiness, sadness, disappointment, anger, threat and desire——and shows common phrases, such as "You're ticking me off," that fit the dog's emotional state.Takara says it has spent millions of dollars developing the gadget in cooperation with famous sound experts and animal behaviorists.One thing that does appear certain is that the markets for animal translation products will likely remain a dog's world since Takara has no plans to develop a similar gadget for cats. "They are too unpredictable (反复无常) , " the marketing manager said.54.This passage mainly tells us that Bowlingual ___________.A. was invented in JapanB. has developed quicklyC. will be sold in AmericaD. sells well for its price55.The underlined word "they" in the last paragraph refers to ___________.A. marketsB. productsC. plansD. cats66.When was this passage most probably published?A. In the winter of 2002.B. In the spring of 2003.C. In the summer of 2002.D. In the autumn of 2003.67.From the passage, we can see that Takara Co. Ltd. is ___________ the sale of its new product.A. proud ofB. satisfied withC. confident ofD. worried aboutDThe following conversation is between Susan Russell-Robinson from the US Geological (地质学的)Survey and Barbara Reynolds from USA Today .Q: Why , after 600 years of no activity , did Mount Pinatubo in Philippines erupt(喷发)in 1991 ?A: V olcanoes (火山)each have their own eruption styles . This volcano probably has a rule which makes it erupt in the order of every 500 to 1000 years , but a volcano in Hawaii seems to erupt every year , and some of the Alaskan volcanoes might erupt every 10 or 20 years .Q: So nothing caused it ?A: There’s nothing out of the ordinary . If y ou were to take an ordinary calendar year , 50 to 75 or 80 volcanoes erupt around the world every year . There are 20 to 30 volcanoes every month that show signs of unrest . That might be a full-blown eruption or a whole host of activities like that .Q: W hat is “the ring of fire” ?A: If you look at where active volcanoes are placed around the world , there are somewhere between 500 and 600 of them . There is what appears to be almost a necklace that goes around the Pacific Ocean . It makes a ring where 60% of the world’s volcanoes lie .Q: Why such a concentration(集中)there ?A: That’s based on a theory that the oceans and the continents are like separate pieces . When continents and when that happens it seems to produce magma(熔岩)at depth and then you have volcanoes in the same ring .58.What kind of writing do you think this passage is ?A.A text taken from a geography book . B.An interview published in the press . C.A conversation carried out in a film . D.An oral test recorded as an example . 59.Which of the following statements can correctly explain why we have so many volcanoes around the Pacific Ocean ?A.The movement of the surface of the earth makes it possible.B.The Pacific Ocean produces magma and presses it everywhere.C.The oceans and the continents are separated from each other.D.The earth’s surface around the Pacific is thinner than any other part.60.Barbara Reynolds’ main purpose here is .A.to show how dangerous volcanoes are to the worldB.to learn what signs a volcano gives us before its eruptionC.to warn the world of the existence of “the ring of fire”D.to introduce some general idea of volcanoes to the public61.Which of the following can be considered as the best conclusion of the conversation?A.There are so many volcanoes in the world and we are always in danger.B.Volcanoes have erupted more frequently than ever before.C.Volcanoes are waiting to be better known.D.Something must be done to protect the people near the ring of fire.EThinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water. To be human is to think. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about drinking is the key to critical(判断性的)thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes(过程). Otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of others. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.The word “critical” here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one view against another view, as when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen-beyond the pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the faulty reasoning.Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker. If you find pleasure in deep thinking about differentideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and careful consideration. The y take time, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in today’s world: fast foods, instant coffee, and self-developing film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence(智力), you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein. Hoffman was too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately put Hoffman at ease by saying, “Please go slowly. I don’t understand things quickly.”62.Critical thinking is important to us because if we do not think critically, _______.A.it will be hard for us to think naturally and fast.B.we might be controlled by other people’s ideas.C.we will follow the ideas of others naturally.D.we might b e footed by other people’s ideas.63.If you are a critical thinker, you will ________.A.think deeply about different ideas B.trust the reports in the newspapersC.take one view against another view D.criticize other people for their mistakes64.In t he last paragraph, “something new” suggests that ________.A.the smarter you are, the faster you do thingsB.the faster you do things, the smarter you becomeC.speed can improve intelligenceD.intelligence is not decided by speed65.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Thinking and Critical Thinking.B.Understanding Critical Thinking. C.Thinking Is Natural and Human.D.Thinking Fast Means Intelligence.第二卷四、单词拼写:1. It is just a __________(提示) to him that he is very important to me.2.

And now, all the students,_______________ subjects they are engaged in, must pay for tuition.There are many ways for a student to finance his college education. Most students ask their parents to pay the tuition fee and pay for their books, accommodation and other cost. A student can also apply for the scholarship. Most universities set up scholarship to offer money to the poor students who do well in entrance exams and reward those who do well in entrance exams and reward those who work well at university. A student can also apply for the low-interest loans. In addition to the above, taking part-time jobs is also a common way for a college student to get money to pay part of his tuition and fees.So far as I'm concerned, I'd prefer earning the scholarship. This means I must study hard and be a top student, which has always been my goal. After all, the task of a student is to study. And in addition to solving my financial problems, getting the scholarship can also prove my ability and isgood for my future.1.What would be the best title of this passage?

Heights.The youngest sister,Anne,was also a gifted novelist, and her books have the same extraordinary quality as her sisters'.Their father was Patrick,born in Ireland.He moved with his wife,Maria Bronte,and their six small children to Haworth in Yorkshire in 1820.Soon after,Mrs.Bronte and the two eldest children died,leaving the father to care for the remaining threegirls and a boy.Charlotte was born in 1816.Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820.Their brother Branwell was born in 1817.Left to themselves,the children wrote and told stories and walked over the hills.They grew up largely selfeducated.Branwell showed a great interest in drawing.The girls were determined to earn money for his art education.They took positions as teachers or taught children in their homes.As children they had all written many stories.Charlotte,as a young girl,alone wrote 22 books,each with 60 to 100 pages of small handwriting.Therefore,they turned to writing for income.By 1847,Charlotte had written The Professor;Emily,Wuthering Heights;and Anne,Agnes Grey.After much difficulty Anne and Emily found a publisher(出版商),but there was no interest shown in Charlotte's book.(It was not published until 1859.)However,one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her work.Jane Eyre was already started,and she hurriedly finished it.It was accepted at once;thus each of the sisters had a book published in 1847.Jane Eyre was immediately successful;the_other_two,however,did not do so well.People did not like Wuthering Heights.They said it was too wild,too animal­like.But gradually it came to be considered one of the finest novels in the English language.Emily lived only a short while after the publication of her book,and Anne died in 1849.Charlotte published Shirley in 1849 and Villette in 1853.In 1854 she married Arthur Bell Nicholls.But only a year later,she died of tuberculosis(肺结核)as her sisters had.36.We know from the text that ________.A.Jance Eyre was published in 1847B.Charlotte wrote 22 books in allC.the sisters received good educationD.Patrick helped his daughters with their writing37.Which of the following was published after the death of its writer?A.Shirley B.VilletteC.Agnes Grey D.The Professor38.The underlined words “the other two” in the 5th paragraph refer to ________.A.Shirley and VilletteB.the Professor and Agnes GreyC.Agnes Grey and Wuthering HeightsD.The Professor and Wuthering Heights39.What do we know about the sisters from the text?A.Their novels interested few publishers.B.None of them had more than two books published.C.None of them lived longer than 40 years old.D.Emily was the least successful of the three.B(2013·新课标全国卷Ⅰ)It happened to me recently.I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President.A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was,in his words,“a brilliantly (精彩地) written book”.However,he then went on to talk about Mr Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all.I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.And it seems that my friend is not the only one.Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven't.In the World Book Day's“Report on Guilty Secrets”,Dreams From My Father is at number 9.The report lists ten books,and various authors,which people have lied about reading,and as I'm not one to lie too often (I'd hate to be caught out),I'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten.But I am pleased to say that,unlike 42 percent of people,I have read the book at number one,George Orwell's 1984.I think it's really brilliant.The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it.It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen,Charles Dickens,Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven't read him,but haven't lied about it either)and Herman Melville.Asked why they lied,the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to.This could be tricky if the conversation became more in­depth!But when asked which authors they actually enjoy,people named J.K.Rowling,John Grisham,Sophie Kinsella(ah,the big sellers,in other words).Forty­two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I'll come clean:I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).40.How did the author find his friend a book liar?A.By judging his manner of speaking.B.By looking into his background.C.By mentioning a famous name.D.By discussing the book itself.41.Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day report?A.Charles Dickens is very low on the top­ten list.B.42% of people pretended to have read 1984.C.The author admitted having read 9 books.D.Dreams From My Father is hardly read.42.By lying about reading,a person hopes to ________.A.control the conversationB.appear knowledgeableC.learn about the bookD.make more friends43.What is the author's attitude to 58% of readers?A.Favorable. B.Uncaring.C.Doubtful. D.Friendly.C(2012·福建高考)At exactly eleven, Sir Percival knocked and entered,with anxiety and worry in every line of his face.This meeting would decide his future life,and he obviously knew it.“You may wonder,Sir Percival,”said Laura calmly,“if I am going to a sk to be released(免除) from my promise to marry you.I am not going to ask this.I respect my father's wishes too much.”His face relaxed a little,but one of his feet kept beating the carpet.“No,if we are going to withdraw(退出) from our planned marriage,it will be because of your wish,not mine.”“Mine?”he said in great surprise.“What reason could I have for withdrawing?”“A reason that is very hard to tell you,”she answered.“There is a change in me.”His face went so pale that even his lips lost their color. He turned his head to one side.“What change?”he asked,trying to appear calm.“When the promise was made two years ago,”she said,“my love did not belongto anyone.Will you forgive me,Sir Percival,if I tell you that it now belongs to another person?”“I wis h you to understand,”Laura continued,“that I will never see this person again,and that if you leave me,you only allow me to remain a single woman for the rest of my life.All I ask is that you forgive me and keep my secret.”“I will do both those things,”he said.Then he looked at Laura,as if he was waiting to hear more.“I think I have said enough to give you reason to withdraw from our marriage.”she added quietly.“No.You have said enough to make it the dearest wish of my life to marry you.”he said.44.How did Percival feel during his meeting with Laura?A.Angry. B.Calm.C.Nervous. D.Excited.45.We can learn from the passage that ________.A.Laura had once promised to marry PercivalB.Laura's father wished to end her marriageC.Percival had been married to Laura for two yearsD.Percival asked to be released from the marriage46.The passage is probably taken out of ________.A.a novel B.a reportC.a diary D.an essayDErnest Miller Hemingway (July 21,1899-July 2, 1961) was an American writer and journalis t. His writing style had a strong influence on the 20th­century fiction, while his life of adventure and his public image(形象) affected later generations. Hemingway produced most of his works between the mid­1920s and the mid­1950s, and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954.Hemingway was raised in Illinois. After high school he reported for The Kansas City Star, before leaving for the Italian front to enlist with the World War I ambulance drivers. In 1918, he was seriously wounded and returned home. In 1922, he married Hadley Richardson. The couple moved to Paris, where he worked as a foreign journalist. Advised and encouraged by other American writers in Paris—F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, he began to see his work appear in printthere, and in 1925 his first important book, a collection of stories called In Our Time, was published. A year later, he published The Sun Also Rises, a novel with which he scored his first solid success.The writing of books occupied Hemingway for most of the postwar years. He remained based in Paris, but he traveled widely for bullfighting(斗牛), fishing, and hunting that by then had become part of his life and formed the background for much of his writing. Hemingway's love of Spain and bullfighting resulted in Death in the Afternoon(1932). His position as a master of short fiction had been advanced by Men Without Women in 1927. The harvest of Hemingway's considerable experience of Spain in war and peace was the novel For Whom the Bell Tolls(1940).In_the_public_view,however,the_novel_A_Farewell_to_Arms(1929)overshadowed_those_works.Shortly after he published The Old Man and the Sea in 1952, Hemingway went to Africa, where he was almost killed in a plane crash that left him in pain or ill­health for much of the rest of his life. Hemingway lived in Florida and Cuba during the 1930s and 1940s, but in 1959 he moved from Cuba to Ketchum, Idaho, where he ended his life in the summer of 1961.47.Which arranges Hemingway's works in the correct order of time?a. A Farewell to Armsb. Men Without Womenc. The Old Man and the Sead. Death in the Afternoone. The Sun Also Risesf. For Whom the Bell TollsA.e,a,b, f,d,c B.e,b,a,d, f,cC.b,a,d,f,e,c D.b,d,a,e,c,f48.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 probably means that A Farewell to Arms________.A.was thought to be better than Hemingway's otherworksB.was considered to make a show in Hemingway'slifeC.was only as excellent as Hemingway's otherworksD.was believed to be Hemingway's worst work49.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Hemingway must have spent his childhood in Italy.B.Hemingway was an energetic writer with wide interests.C.Hemingway's first book In Our Time was published before 1925.D.Hemingway won the Nobel Prize in Literature just after his death.50.It can be concluded from the passage that________.A.Hemingway produced most of his works in AfricaB.Hemingway led a very happy life in his last fewyearsC.most of Hemingway's works were based on his life experienceD.Hemingway's writing style affected the life of latergenerationsⅣ.任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后的空格内填入最恰当的单词。

The colour bar with five levels shows how confident you yourselves feel about what you have learnt.In this unit, 16 items are listed, each having a score of 5, with a total of 80 points possible. These items cover the main study targets in this unit, such as skills in listening, speaking, reading, writing, the usages of vocabulary and grammar items, as well as doing activities in English. Through assessing yourselves as learners, you will realize whether you have achieved the goals for this unit.In Part A, some items are presented to you and you are asked to check how well you think you have developed these skills. Each item corresponds with one or more parts in this unit. For example, by going over Part E on page 5, you will know whether you are able to use the vocabulary learnt in the unit or not.You have the opportunity to evaluate your own skills and abilities in English. If you feel very confident about an item, you get a score of 5. If you feel slightly confident about another item, you get a score of 2. By adding all the scores and dividing by 16, you will get a percentage, which shows your level.

In the last act,the girl says she would not marry him even if he had proposed (求婚) to her.Theprofessor,curiously ineffectual (无效的) to sexual emotions,does not love any girl because he finds them to be rivals (对手) to his own mother.He wonders,if Eliza does not want to marry him,then what does she want from him? Old Mrs.Higgins,who knows much about a woman says that it would have been better if he had thanked her and petted her and told her how wonderful she had been.Then perhaps she would not have fought with him.Every girl loves to be loved.Eliza herself says that she loves Freddy and he also loves her.Professor Higgins,however,remains as ever,an old bachelor.1.Who wrote Pygmalion?A.Aphrodite.B.Bernard Shaw.C.Galatea.D.Henry Higgins.2.What does the underlined phrase “passes her off as” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Let her pretend to be.B.Dress her up as.C.Make her become.D.Turn into.3.What kind of person do you think Higgins is according to the second paragraph?A.He is a kind man.B.He is a considerate man.C.He is a selfish man.D.He is a rude man.4.Why does not Eliza marry Higgins? Because ________.A.she does not love himB.his mother does not like any girl to be her rivalC.he likes to be a bachelorD.he does not love any girl for fear of them being his mother’s rivals答案基础落实Ⅰ.1.has;nothing;to;do;with 2.came;to;his;rescue 3.was;intended;to;be 4.consists;ofⅡ.1.will do great harm to me 2.the possibility of shortening work time 3.People say t hat/It’s said that 4.is bent on becoming pared the world to a stage 6.as/so long as 7.was divided into 8.At one time 9.means waiting for another hour 10.me included/including myselfⅢ.1.D 2.C 3.B 4.C 5.A 6.B 7.B 8.A 9.A 10.B 11.B 12.D 13.B 14.C 15.A能力提升1.B2.A3.C4.D。
