AA German company was concerned about talks in Moscow trying to sell some 100 million dollars worth of equipment to a Russian State company. Talks went smoothly but differences remained. So Martin Bayer himself, the CEO of the German Company, decided to come to Moscow to head the talks. Besides caring about his business, the CEO wanted to go to Russia to hunt bears.Martin Bayer was one of the greatest hunters of our time (and the Russians knew about it). He went to the Sahara more than hundred times and hunted lions, crocodiles; he hunted polar bears in the North Pole and tigers in the rain forests of India. But he had never hunted Russian bears.So the Russians decided to organize a bear hunt for Mr. Bayer to sweeten the talks. This wasn't a simple task. Some people in the west still believe that bears may be found and seen everywhere in Russian cities just like squirrels may be seen in our back yards. This is not true. The closest place one may find bears in the wild is maybe 2,500 miles away from Moscow. However, a solution was quickly found. The Russian businessmen went to Moscow Circus(马戏团)and for $2,000 bought a very old bear. This bear used to amuse and amaze audiences in many countries for 30 years, but got and looked too old, and was retired.“Be careful, the Russian bears are very dangerous, and frightening,” they told to Mr. Bayer. “If compared to the Russian bears, your African lions are nothing more than harmless cats.” The bear was brought to a forest 50 miles from Moscow and was left there. Mr. Bayer was told that bears were plentiful in that forest and that many cattle and even people had been eaten in the surrounding villages.Meanwhile, an 18-year old female drove through the forest on a motorcycle and suddenly saw a bear (no bears had been seen in those places for 200 years). She was frightened, fell, left her helmet and her motorcycle and ran away.Mr. Bayer was excited and ready to hunt. This could become the most successful part of his extraordinary hunting experience. The next moment Mr. Bayer saw a bear in a helmet driving on a motorcycle through the forest in front of him. The bear had a happy expression on his face, as he was doing something he had been doing in the circus for 30 years: circling on a motorcycle!Mr. Bayer lives in a private mental institution near Hamburg happily ever after. The equipment was never sold to Russia. It was sold to Iraq instead.21. Why did the Russians invite Mr. Bayer to hunt bears?A. Russian bears are famous for their cruelty.B. They managed to find a bear for hunting.C. They expected the trade to be successful.D. There was a bear in Moscow Circus.22. Why did the Russians say “Be carefu l, the Russian bears are very dangerous, and frightening”?A. To tell Mr. Bayer that many people had been killed by bears.B. To make Mr. Bayer feel the hunting really challenging.C. To warn Mr. Bayer to mind his safety while hunting.D. To tell Mr. Bayer that the bear is really dangerous.23. We can infer from the last paragraph that __________.A. Mr. Bayer has gone madB. the bear injured him badlyC. he has worked in a mental institution since thenD. the trade has gone smoothly between Russian and IraqBMy son has poliomyelitis (小二麻痹症) and he suffered from it a lot. When he was young, my wife and I took him to see so many doctors and got different kind oftreatments. But still, he couldn’t walk like a normal kid.So he was laughed at by his classmates for his walking style and he was very sad. Then he became afraid of going to school. He wouldn’t go anymore.One night, my wife had a breakdown and shouted at him, “I tell you, my kid, you might be like this forever. You are a freak in other’s eyes, and perhaps it would never change. But in my eyes, in your dad’s eyes, you are not a freak! You are not! Even if you are, we love you and will love you forever!” My son spoke nothing for two days. He didn’t eat or sleep. We could read he was hurt. We hoped something[ wonderful would fall in our family. On the third morning, he struggled to walk to my car, with his school bag in his hand of course. He raised his head high and hugged me, saying “I want to go to school. Nothing will beat me.”You know, from then on, he was never afraid of being laughed at any longer. If he couldn’t avoid these looks, he chose to look at them i n the eyes. Later, something nice really happened and my son went to Harvard University. When he was asked how he managed to bear the p ressure, he said, “Because of my parents.”My dear fellows, if you care too much about how other people look at you or what their opinions are, you will never become what you want to be.29. The author’s son was laughed at by his classmates, because _____________.A. he didn’t do well in his lessonsB. he walked in a strange wayC. he was from a poor familyD. he often burst into tears30. After hearing what the mother said, the son ______________.A. quarreled with his mother and left home angrilyB. went to school unwillingly with speaking anythingC. burst out crying complaining about his bad experienceD. didn’t say anything without eating or sleeping for two days31. Which of the following is NOT right according to the passage?A. The boy was brave to face any difficulty after being encouraged by his mother.B. The boy achieve success and was admitted to a famous university.C. The boy finally could walk like a normal child after some treatments.D. The boy owed his success to his parents and was grateful to them32. From the passage we can say that the boy is _________________.A. confident and outgoingB. brave and hard-workingC. wise and easy-goingD. determined and braveCWith the development of science and technology, new inventions, especially new electronic products, have made people’s lives easy and convenient. But as the saying puts: A coin has two sides.One day, I was walking in the park with a friend and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and…I became invisible, absent from the conversation.The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent. Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction. With email and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated, the alienation(疏远) index goes up. You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person any more. Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.Pumping petrol at the station? Why say good morning to the attendant when you can swipe(刷)your credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact?Making a deposit at the bank? Why talk to a teller who might live in the neighborhood when you can just insert your card into ATM?Pretty soon you won’t have the burden of making eye contact at the grocery shop. Some supermarket chains are using a self-scanner so you can check yourself out, avoiding those check-out people who look at you and ask how you are doing.I am not against modern technology. I own a cell phone, an ATM card, a voice mailsystem, and an email account. Giving them up isn't wise…they're a great help to us. It's some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy.More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation. Or being relieved that voice mail picked up a call because I didn't really have time to talk. The communications industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier.So I've put myself on technology restriction: no instant messaging, with people who live near me,no cell phoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm at home.32. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. The Advance of Communications TechnologyB. The Consequences of Modern TechnologyC. The Process of Communications RevolutionD. The Automation of Modern Communications33. Paragraphs 5 to 7 are listed as examples, which show that the use of modern communications is ___________.A. encouragingB. disappointingC. satisfyingD. embarrassing34. The passage implies that _______________.A. modern technology is bridging the peopleB. modern technology is separating the peopleC. modern technology is developing too rapidlyD. modern technology is interrupting our lives35. What does the writer think to do with the modern technology?A. We may use them no matter what others are doing.B. We can throw them away and return to the ancient.C. We can be far away from them forever.D. We can use them less and communicate with the people around us.DI was 16 when my father finally decided he would send me to wilderness camp for several months. He had threatened to do it many times before, but my mother had alwaysmanaged to prevent him from doing so. This time he insisted on doing it.The latest incident was the last straw. Impulsively(冲动地), I had pushed Mr. Ford, my math teacher, down a flight of steps at school. He broke his arm in two places. Anyway, he had agreed not to accuse me as a favor to my dad, who was in the middle of a tight race for sheriff(执法官) in our town. But my reckless behavior had my dad’s closest advisor talking.“John, he’s your son and he’s a kid, but he is dragging you down,” I heard Jake Hutch tell my dad through his closed office door the night after I pushed Mr. Ford. “If you can’t make your son o bey the rules, how can you make the law obeyed in this town?”So, off to Pisgah National Forest I went. I imagined hours of untold abuse at the hands of some strong sergeants(军士). I was determined no to be broken. I was who I was.Nearly every day for six months, a small group of other troubled teens and I carried our 30-pound backpacks on a difficult journey covering about 10 miles. We hiked in a rough wilderness that seemed untouched by civilization.Our sergeants were firm but kind, not frightening as I had imagined. We learned how to make a fire without matches and create a shelter with branches and grass. We learned which plants were safe to eat out in the wild. I felt myself change. I was calm and often reflective. My old, impulsive self was gone.One morning, six months later, my dad came to pick me up. I ran to hug him and saw relief and love in his eyes.“So what’s it like being sheriff?” I asked on the ride home.“I lost the race, Danny,” he said.“I’m sorry, Dad.” I knew my behavior probably had a lot to do with the defeat.Dad squeezed my shoulder and brought me close. “As long as I don’t ever lose you, I’m okay.”24. The author was finally sent to wilderness because _____.A. he could learn how to survive in the wildB. his teacher insisted on giving him a lessonC. he pushed his math teacher down the stairsD. his mother feared that he would be accused25. The underlined word “reckless” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. selfishB. carelessC. rudeD. reasonable26. What can we learn about the author from the passage?A. He changed a lot after the camp.B. He was not satisfied with his life in the camp.C. He was still what he used to be after the camp.D. He made enemies with other troubled teens at the camp.27. How did the author’s fat her feel at the end of the story?A. Grateful.B. Annoyed.C. DisappointedD. Relieved第二节(七选五共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

高二英语寒假作业(八)第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑.AOne reaction to all the concern about tropical deforestation(砍伐森林) is a blank stare that asks the question, "Since I don't live there, what does it have to do with me?"The answer is that your way of life, wherever you live in the world, is tied to the tropics in many ways. If you live in a house, wash your hair, eat fruits and vegetables, drink soda, or drive a car, you can be certain that you are affected by the loss of tropical forests.Take rubber(橡胶)for example. For many uses, only natural rubber from trees will do. Synthetics are not good enough. Today over half the world's commercial(商业的)rubber is produced in Malaysia and Indonesia, while the Amazon's rubber industry produces much of the world's four million tons. And rubber is an important material in making gloves, balloons, footwear and many sporting goods. Thousands of other tropical plants are valuable for their industrial use.Many scientists strongly believe that deforestation contributes to the greenhouse effect—or heating of the earth from increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As we destroy forests, we lose their ability to change carbon dioxide into oxygen.Carbon dioxide levels could double within the next half-century, warming the earth by as much as 4.5 degrees. The result? A partial melt-down of polar ice caps, raising sea levels as much as 24 feet; even 15 feet could threaten anyone living within 35 miles of the coast. Unbelievable? Maybe. But scientists warn that by the time we realize the severe effects of tropical deforestation, it will be 20 years too late.Can tropical deforestation affect our everyday lives? Now, you should have got the answer.1. The underlined word "synthetics" probably means a kind of __________.A. natural rubberB. tropical grassC. man-made materialD. tropical tree2. In the last paragraph the author tries to _________.A. tell people how to avoid the tropical deforestationB. show us how important it is to protect the tropical forestsC. persuade people to buy something syntheticD. let people realize the good effect of tropical deforestation3. The author's attitude towards the tropical deforestation is __________.A. puzzlingB. coldC. supportingD. opposedBAs a boy, Charles Robert Darwin collected anything that caught his interest: insects, coins and interesting stones. He was not very clever, but Darwin was good at doing the things that interested him.His father was a doctor, so Darwin was sent to Edinburgh to study medicine, and was planned to follow a medical career. But Charles found the lectures boring. Then his father sent him to Cambridge University to study to be a priest. While at Cambridge, Darwin’s interest in zoology and geography grew. Later he got a letter from Robert FitzRoy who was planning to make a voyage around the world on a ship, the Beagle. He wanted a naturalist to join the ship, and Darwin was recommended(推荐). That voyage was the start of Darwin’s great life.As the Beagle sailed around the world, Darwin began to wonder how life had developed on earth. He began to observe everything. After he was home, he set to work, getting his collection in order. His first great work The Zoology of the Beagle was well received, but he was slow to make public his ideas on the origin of life.Later Darwin and Wallace, another naturalist who had the same opinions as Darwin, produced a paper together. Darwin’s great book, On the Origin of Species byMeans of Natural Selection (《物种起源》) appeared. It attracted a storm. People thought that Darwin was saying they were descended from monkeys. What a shameful idea! Although most scientists agreed that Darwin was right, the Church was still so strong that Darwin never received any honors for his work.Afterwards, he published another great work, The Descent of Man. His health grew worse, but he still worked. “When I have to give up observation, I shall die,” he said. He was still working on 17, April, 1882. He was dead two days later.1. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Charles Darwin’s ideasB. Charles Darwin’s worksC. Father of modern biology: Charles DarwinD. The greatest scientist: Charles Darwin2. Darwin’s father sent him to Edinburgh to _____.A. make him like natural historyB. make him become a doctorC. let him change his hobbiesD. have him give up his collection3. According to th e passage, Charles Darwin’s whole life was changed by _____.A. his study at Cambridge UniversityB. his collection of coinsC. the naturalists at CambridgeD. the voyage of the Beagle4. The underlined part “they were descended from monkeys” pro bably means “_____”.A. they gave monkeys lifeB. they were different from monkeysC. they were developed from monkeysD. they had to live with monkeysCSo great is our passion for doing things for ourselves that we are being increasingly less dependent on specialized labour.No one can plead ignorance(对。
