"To be quite honest, it was a relief because people have been. hoping for this for a long time," said Ola Iarsmo, a novelist and the president of the Swedish Pen Association. "Some thought the train might have already left the station because he is old and not quite well. It felt great that he was confirmed in this role of national and international poet. "21.Why was Mr Transtromer awarded the Nobel Prize according to some critics?A.His poems have been translated into many languages.B.His poems are mostly about the beauty of nature.C.The style of his writing is unique.D.Readers can appreciate his poems easily.22.What happened after Mr Transtromer got recovered from the stroke?A.He began to write poems.B.He was finally devoted to writing.C.He was able to return to poem writing.D.He had to think about his career again.23.What can we infer about Mr Transtromerfrom from Paragraph 3?A.He had been expecting the prize.B.He was surprised that prize went to poetry.C.He felt calm when he got the Nobel prize.D.He remained modest after he got the Prize.答案：DCB解析：21.细节理解题.根据第一段Critics (评论家) have praised Mr Transtromer s poems for their accessibility, even in translation, noting his elegant descriptions of long Swedish winters, the rhythm of the seasons and the beauty of nature.可知,他的诗歌易于读者理解,接受,能引起读者的共鸣.故选D.22.细节理解题.根据第二段In 1990, Mr Transtromer suffered a stroke(中风) that left him mostly unable to speak, but he eventually began to write again.可知,在他中风康复后能够再次写诗;故选C.23.推理判断题.根据第四段"That you happened to receive it is a great joy and happy surprise, but the fact the prize went to poetry felt good ,可知,他写诗能够获得诺贝尔奖是出乎他的预料的,故选B.BThe world’s first robot police officer has started working. Its name is ‘RoboCop’ and it went into service for the Dubai Police earlier this week. Robocop’s first official duty was to greet guests at the opening of a security conference in Dubai. Apart from greeting visitors’ its job was to answer questions and give directions. RoboCop has a built — in tablet for people to interact with. People can use the tablet to pay traffic fines and use other smart police services. The tablet is linked to a police station, so people can talk to human police officers. In addition,RoboCop can speak six languages, including English and Arabic. The 170 - centimetre - tall robot can also shake hands, salute people and recognize peopl e’s emotions and facial expressions.Dubai Police says RoboCop is the first of many robot police officers for the city. A spokesman said that by 2030, 25 per cent of the Dubai Police force will be robots. He said: “We are looking to make everything smart i n Dubai Police. By 2030, we will have the first smart police station which won’t require human employees.”“The RoboCop is the latest smart addition to the police force and has been designed to help us fight crime, keep the city safe and improve happiness levels,” He added. He also said that RoboCop would, “assist and help people in the malls or on the streets”. An official at the security conference commented that the future is here now, saying: “The age of the robots is no longer coming. It has arrived.”24.What was Robocop’s first official duty?A.To spot criminals in the crowd.B.To serve guests at a meeting.C.To organize a secure conference.D.To offer help to the people on the street.25.What can we learn from the spokesman?A.Human police will become smarter.B.RoboCop has done a good job at the meeting.C.Robots will soon take the place of human police.D.Robots will help Dubai Police do dangerous work.26.What do the underlined sentences mean in the last paragraph?A.The age of robots is now on the way.B.Robots will change the world.C.Scientists are making smarter robots.D.The age of robots is already here.答案：BCD解析：24.细节理解题.根据Robocop's first official duty was to greet guests at the opening of a security conference in Dubai.Robocop的第一个职务是在迪拜一个安全会议开幕迎接客人.所以答案选B.25.细节理解题.根据句子By 2030,we will have the first smart police station which won't require human employees.到2030年底,我们将拥有第一个不需要人工雇员的智能警察局.可见他很快就会代替人类,所以答案选C.26.句意理解题.根据前一句An official at the security conference commented that the future is here now.安全会议的一位官员评论说,未来就在这里.后文句子说的就是这个意思,所以答案选D.CWhat are dreams for? A handful of theories have the most influence. Sigmund Freud famously claimed that they reveal hidden truths and wishes. Despite being largely unsupported by evidence, researchers found that students in the U. S., Korea, and India were much more likely to accept the view. In the same study, respondents said that dreaming about a plane crash would cause them more anxiety than an official warning about a terrorist attack. More recent research suggests that they may help us process intense emotions, or perhaps sort through and strengthen memories, or rehearse responses to threatening situations.Even if dreams can't foretell the future, they seem to expose our shared fascinations. The majority of dreams occur during REM sleep cycles, of which the average person has four or five a night. A study of Canadian university students found the most common dream topics to be school, falling, being chased, and arriving too late for something.For all the commonalities dreams exhibit, they vary across time—people who grew up watching black-and-white TV are more likely to dream in black and white—and culture. A 1958 study determined that compared with Japanese people, Americans dreamed more about being looked up, losing a loved one, finding money. Japanese people were more likely to dream about school, trying repeatedly to do something, being paralyzed with fear, or "wild, violent beasts."If human dreams sound boring, bear in mind that even negative ones can have positive effects. In a study of students taking a French medical-school entrance exam, 60 percent of the dreams they had beforehand involved aproblem with the exam, such as being late or leaving an answer blank. But those who reported dreams about the exam, even bad ones, did better on it than those who didn't.27.What do you know about Freud's view on dreaming?A.It will cause people more anxiety.B.It's already been proved by evidence.C.It's popular with some American and Asian students.D.It can reveal the hidden truth and predict the future.28.According to recent research, dreams may _______.A.make emotions intenseB.help prepare for special situationsC.reduce our memoriesD.help us take notes29.According to paragraphs 2 and 3, which of the following is true?A.The average person has four or five REM sleep cycles a night.B.Canadian students aren't worried about being late for school.C.Americans usually share the same dream topics with Japanese.D.Films about wild beasts may be widely shown in America in 1958.30.If you dream that you failed the exam, _______.A.your dream will come trueB.you'll be depressed with fearC.you are supposed to take it seriouslyD.it shows that you care a lot about the exam答案：CBAD解析：27.根据文章第一段中的"researchers found that students in the U. S. , Korea, and India were much more likely to accept the view"可知，美国、韩国和印度的学生更有可能接受那种观点。

He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.〞“He didn’t have such a wish,〞I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance, by pushing on steadily.〞Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,〞he said. “He won it because he was lucky.

She also believes in “Women’ s Liberation(解放)”.“I don’t wish that I were a man,” she says, “and I don’t think many women do. But I do wish that people would stop looking down upon us women.

Total farm earnings were estimated (估计) at 74,000 million dollars for the year. That means the average(平均的) farm income was about 71,000 dollars, or a gain of about three percent from the year before.However, the growth in earnings depended on the size of the farm. Large farms had increased earnings of six and one-half percent. Smaller farms saw growth in earnings of less than three percent.Part of American farm income came from the federal (联邦的) government. The Department of Agriculture reports that about thirty-nine percent of farmers accepted some kind of aid(援助), or subsidy in 2003. Reports say the total amount of farm aid paid last year is estimated at 15,700 million dollars.An organization called the Environmental Working Group keeps information on all farm subsidies paid by the government. The group examined subsidies between 1995 and 2003.It says ten percent of farms received seventy-two percent of government subsidies during that nine-year period. The group says big farms that are organized as corporations (公司) or partnership businesses receive the most aid. It says the big farms receive more aid, even when they are more profitable(盈利的) than smaller family farms.Critics(评论家) say farm subsidies are costly and wasteful. Critics also note that subsidies go only to growers of widely traded crops, like corn, cotton, wheat and soybean.But many farmers, including the ones who only receive a few thousand dollars a year, support the subsidy programs. They say small farming communities in states like Minnesota, Nebraska, and South Dakota would not survive without the aid.41. What is the probable number of American farms?A. 10 million.B. 1 million.C. 10 thousand.D. 100 thousand.42. Why was 2004 a good year for American farmers?A. American farmers’ earnings increased a lot in 2004.B. The federal government gave American farmers more aid in 2004.C. Big farms were organized as partnership businesses in 2004.D. The federal government reduced farmers’ taxes in 2004.43. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. All American farmers can get the government aid.B. Only big farms can get the government aid.C. Only profitable farms can get the government aid.D. Farmers growing crops like corn and cotton may get the government aid easily.CWhat is it that makes people laugh? More than two thousand years ago the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle defined (定义) jokes as the pleasure that results from a feeling of triumph by showing we’re better than someone else in a certain way. According to Aristotle and many other philosophers，all jokes depend mainly on showing inferiority in another person or group of persons — that is，putting it clearly，on showing that they are worse off than ourselves. Jokes raise our goodopinion of ourselves at someone else’s expense.Showing how much better than other people we are is only one reason we like jokes. Someone may also use a joke to express their anger or their cruelty or any other kind of action that is not acceptable to us. We feel free to laugh when we hear about someone sliding on a banana skin. The joke lets us express those attitudes which are usually unacceptable to society. This is probably the reason why some of the jokes，especially those involving cruelty，are so popular with certain people.Besides，all jokes depend on our enjoyment of laughing at something that is strange and out of place because it’s different from things which are happening around it. The same situation can be either sad or pleasant，depending entirely on how strange and out of place it is. If a girl in a bathing suit falls into a swimming pool，we don’t laugh because nothing unusu al has happened. But if a man in a smart suit falls in，the situation is at once unusual in a pleasant way and we laugh. A good joke-teller will always try to build up a situation in which one thing is expected until something unexpected suddenly happens，and so we laugh.44. The underlined word “inferiority” (in Paragraph 1) means ______.A. something that is not as good as something elseB. something that is better than something elseC. someone that is not as good as someone elseD. someone that is better than someone else45. According to Aristotle, all jokes depend mainly on ______.A. showing inferiority in another person or groupB. resulting in a sense of successC. having a good opinion of other peopleD. making people laugh unexpectedly46. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. Showing we are better than other people is the only one reason we like jokes.B. When people are angry, they would like to hear jokes.C. People who like jokes are usually cruel.D. To express those attitudes usually unacceptable to society is one of the reasons we like jokes.47. What will a good joke-teller always try to do?A. Make a sad situation into a pleasant one.B. Make different things happen at the same time.C. Make an unexpected thing happen in an expected situation.D. Make people laugh at something unusual and out of place.DThere is one language that is used in every country in the world. The people who use it are young and old, short and tall, thin and fat. It is everybody’s s econd language. It is easy to understand, although you can’t hear it. It is sign language.When you wave to a friend who is across the street, you are using sign language. When you smile at someone, you are saying, “I want to be friendly”, but you are not using speech. You are using sign language. When you raise your hand in class, you are saying, “Please ask me. I think Iknow the correct answer.”Babies who can’t talk can point at things. They are using sign language. A policeman who wants to stop traffic holds up his hands. He is using sign language.Many years ago, a French priest, Charles Michel de Epee, became interested in education for deaf people. He invented a finger alphabet (字母表). It is still in use. People can make the sign for letters and spell words with their hands, and deaf people can read and understand them. Soon there were schools for the deaf in many countries. The only university for the deaf is Gallaudet College in Washington, D.C.Today, in the United States, there are special TV news programs for deaf people. The newsreader tells the news in sign language. At the same time, the words appear on the TV screen.The actors in the Theatre of Deaf don’t spell every word. Sometimes they use hand signs. When they put two hands together, it means sandwich. They can make a roof with their hands when they want to show a house. One finger in front of an actor’s mouth can mean quiet. You can talk to people who are behind windows that are closed. And when you go swimming with your friends, you can have conversations under water.How many hand signs do you use every day?48. Which of the following about sign language is TRUE?A. It is a special language used in a few countries in the world.B. It is a way to express one’s ideas without words.C.

He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him 36 he thought he was able to be so much more 37 than the average person.He responded that it all came from a(n) 38 with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to 39 milk from the fridge when he 40 the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.When his mother came in, 41 shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful 42 you have made! I have 43 seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been 44 . Would you like to get down and 45 in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “Robert, w henever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to restore everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?” He chose the sponge.His mother then said, “ You know, w hat we have here is a 46 experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two 47 hands. Let’s go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can 48 .” The little boy learned that if he 49 the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful 50 !This scientist then said that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be 51 to make mistakes.

It was a dark，windy night, and they did not know the way very well. They drove through a town until they found what they thought was the road to Dorling，where their friends lived. But it soon became clear that they were not on the road to Dorling at all. The road that they were on was getting narrower，and there were no other cars on it. The wind was blowing harder with every minute that passed.They came to a small village .They drove past a church and then two houses without lights on. There was nobody about to tell them where they were，or where the road went. Just then，Ben saw a telephone box，twenty meters or so further on. While he walked back along the road to see if there was a name outside the church，Susan telephoned their friends and told them that they were still on their way.Their friends were just saying that the dinner was already getting rather cold，when Ben came back to the telephone box，his head down against the wind. He said that there was a tree lying across the road，and that the telephone lines were down. Susan heard nothing more from their friends about the dinner.56.

Try to get help from your classmates.CTowards the end of Middle English, a sudden change in pronunciation started, with vowels being pronounced shorter and shorter. From the 16th century the British had contact with people from around the world. This means that many new words and phrases entered the language. The invention of printing also meant that there was a common language in print. Books became cheaper and more people learned to read. Spelling and grammar became fixed and the dialect （方言）of London became the standard. In 1604, the first English dictionary was published.The numbers of words in Early Modern English and Late Modern English differ. Late Modern English has a lot more words because of two main factors: firstly, the Industrial Revolution created a need for new words; secondly, the British Empire covered one quarter of the earth’s surface, and the English language took in foreign words from many countries.From around 1600, the English colonization(殖民地化)of North America resulted in the creation of American English. Some English pronunciation and words froze when they reached America. In some ways, American English is more like the English of Shakespeare than modern British English. Some expressions that the British call “ Americanisms” are in fact original （原先的）British expressions that were preserved (保存) in the colonies but were lost in Britain. Spanish also had an influence on American English, with words like canyon, ranch, stampede and vigilante being examples of Spanish words that entered English. French words and West African words also influenced American English.Today, American English is the most influential(有影响力的). But there are many other kinds of English around the world, including Australian English, New Zealand English, Canadian English, South African English , Indian English and Caribbean English. They have differences.63.What can we know from Paragraph 1?A. The dialect of London became the standard in the year 1604.B. V owels were pronounced longer towards the end of Middle EnglishC. The first English dictionary was published in the early 17th century.D.Many new words entered English because many people moved to Britain.64. From Paragraph 2, we know that the Industrial Revolution __________.A. required spelling and grammar to be fixedB.required a greater number of English wordsC. caused many old English words to be uselessD. led to the English colonization of North America.65.The underlined word “froze” in Paragraph 3 shows that some English words inAmerica___________.A. became longerB. greatly changedC. a little changedD. stayed as they were66. What will the paragraph following this passage most probably discuss?A. The development of Modern EnglishB. How the English vocabulary became largerC. Differences among the different kinds of EnglishD. Differences between Middle English and Modern EnglishDHer frozen fingers touched the flame trying to feel alive. She could feel the warmth but it was a cold heat, as if the candle was rejecting her.Her arms turned red because of the cold, her short sleeved shirt not giving her enough warmth. The winter air grabbed(抓住) at her arms, causing her pain, but she didn’t mind. She knew she should put her jacket on, it was winter in Connecticut, but that would be giving up. Up here, in this tree she felt safe.She looked at the candle, surrounded by hardening wax(蜡). She placed her fingers gently on the warm green wax. This candle was a reminder of her life inside that house, a life she would have to return to eventually.As a child, she had gotten this candle. She spent all she had on it. The beautiful crystal box （水晶盒）had caught her eye. Five whole nickels（五分币）had brought her that candle.She gave it to her mother for Mother’s Day. Her mother had managed a smile and put it on a shelf. “It’s very pretty, honey! I will put it right here.” Since then that candle had never been moved, never been lighted, sitting dusty on a cluttered shelf that no one could see. Later on, her parents got divorced.By now the candle was colder than the air and the darkness was complete. The snow on the ground made the night lighter and less satisfying than it had been before the first snowfall. She liked the darkness because she felt safe in it. From the glances of her friends who liked the girl she used to be. From the boys who could never figure out who she was. From her guidance counselor(顾问) whose endless worried looks never made her feel any better.No one was outside at this time of night. She was alone in the world, just how she liked it. Just as she was about to lean back against the branch, she heard a sound.She heard footsteps breaking the ice in the snow, heading toward her. He was making his way toward the white fence at the edge of the building, right against the road. Normally she would have ignored this person and stayed on her branch faraway from human contact, but this figure had something with him. He trudged(吃力地走) toward the white fence carrying a case. The figure reached the fence, opened the case and took out a shiny object.She took her eyes off this figure only long enough to climb down the tree to get a better view of him. She reached the bottom and saw that the person had turned to face the street, sitting on the white fence that she and her friends once sat on. She stepped carefully on the ice, making her way toward him.And then a beautiful sound of music came from the shiny object. She stopped and listened to it. She started walking towards the guy again. Just as she was about to step onto the snow banks, she slipped on the ice crashing to the ground. The figure turned around in surprise and a sudden recognition fell upon them both.67. The girl was hiding in the tree at deep night to ______.A. keep herself from the coldB. wait for the boy to comeC. want to be left aloneD. seek safety from any hurt68. From the story, we can learn that ______.A. the girl suffered a lot in her lifeB. the girl’s parents divorced because of herC. teachers and friends treated the girl badlyD. the girl used to stay in the tree when feeling sad69. The underlined word “it” in the story refers to ______.A. leaning back against the branchB. being alone in the worldC. not being disturbed at nightD. it being dark with snow around70. From the end of the story, it can be known that the girl _______.A. knew the personB. knew what the object wasC. realized her wishesD. would never feel alone any more第四部分：任务型阅读(每小题l分，满分l0分)Becoming a fireman is a challenging and competitive job today.

于对市爱美阳光实验学校高一英语下学期暑假作业试题〔4〕一阅读理解〔共两节，总分值40分〕AWatson entered Mr Smith’s office. The boss was a hard man. He fired people who didn’t do well without giving them a second chance.“Watson,〞 said Mr Smith, “this past year your department (部门)hasn’t earned money. We’re going to drop that department. It’s finished. I’m sorry but you’ll have to go.〞“But sir, if I just had a little more time. For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.〞“What’s that?〞 said the boss. “Riverside! I didn’t know you had a boy there. That’s an expensive school for a man with your salary.〞“I know, sir. But he likes it there so much! He’s a star athlete and the best boxer in the school. The boys call him Champ(冠) there.〞The boss sat perfectly still for a long time—a faraway(恍惚的)look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said,“We’ve got to close your department, Watson. But you’ll take over a new job in another department. It means longer hours maybe more pay. Now get out. You’re here for life.〞Watson got out, with surprise on his face. Then the boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk. It was Herbie’s last letter from Riverside School—written a few days before he died. He had read it over and over again with sick pain. The letter read:I can’t say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were.I guess it’s the same everywhere when you’re a cripple〔跛脚的人〕. But don’t worry about me, Dad. They’ve got a good chemistry department here. And there’s one boy here who is really great. He’s a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry. The boys call him Champ. He made them stop throwing my books around. And he knocked a boy down who hit me. He is the best friend I ever had. Dad, when I grow up, I want to do something for Champ.

I’m afraid people will laugh at me. What should I do?Ryan in GettysburyDear Ryan,As soon as I read your letter, I thought of Tito. He is good at almost every sport. So, when we were playing indoor soccer in gym class and Tito kept messing up〔搞糟〕，I knew there was something unusual. Tito told others that he couldn’t see because he had something in his eye.Later that day, I went over to Tito at lunch and asked if his eye was feeling better. And right at that moment, an eyeglasses case dropped out of his backpack. I did n’t know Tito wore glasses. I encouraged him to put them on, but he refused and asked me not to tell anyone about the secret.Then one day, this other kid named Tyler in my class showed up wearing a pair of glasses. He looked really cool. Some students even wished they had a pair.The next day, Tito came in wearing his glasses and that was that. Maybe there were a few little jokes at first, but for the most part, people hardly seemed to notice. What people did notice, though, was that Tito went right back to being the best athlete around. He wears special sports glasses and has no trouble keeping his eye on the ball!So, dear Ryan, I hope you’ll stop worrying. If kids in your school laugh at you about your new glasses, just try to ignore them. Remember that the kids worth playing with are the ones who like you for who you are, not what you wear.Now go out there and have fun looking at the world clearly!Arizona17.What’s Ryan’s problem?18.A.

But it wasn’t always January l that marked the New Year.At least 4,000 years ago the ancient Egyptians and Bahylo-nians(古巴比伦人)marked the changing of the year. In Egypt, the year started when the Nile River(尼罗河)flooded, enriching farmers’ fields with silt(淤泥). This happened at the end of September.The Babylonians held a festival in spring, on March 23, to kick off the next farming cycle.

That new calendar was in time with the sun and it has been used until the present day.Around the world, different cultures have their own traditions for welcoming the New Year.

Benjamin’s older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects.Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin’s Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long. Newspaper companies are losing advertisers, readers, market value. and. in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor of the times said recently,” At places where they gather, editors ask one another, 'How are you?', as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law came. “An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian, under the headline “NOT DEAD YET.”Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet, which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past thee years. The New York Times Company has seen its stock （股票） drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock-holders sell off their Times stock. The Washington Post Comply has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education: its testing and test-preparation service now bring s in at least half the company’s income.12.
