ARecently, I was invited to a writing class at my old high school. I accepted the __41__ because it’s always fun to see what young writ ers are up to.

Often people talk about bad __47__they still have about being unprepared for a(n) __48__ test. Others say that being picked on and not being __49__ for a team are still terrible memories for them.

So I volunteer at a school once a week. Each week, I’m a little more __54__ when I walk into the office to _55__.

On the Internet.CWhen a dog loses a leg, the animal eventually figures out the best way to get around on three legs. In a short time, the dog learns to deal with its physical disability.Now, scientists have developed robots that behave in much the same way.We can find robots everywhere. Robots build cars, play chess and can clean your house. They may someday drive your car, too.Two robots, named Spirit and Opportunity, were sent to Mars on a mission to explore the red planet.Jeff Clune is a computer scientist with the University of Wyoming. He says robots also help people in natural disasters.Robots are deployed in search and rescue operations following an earthquake. They may someday also be used to examine the wreckage of a nuclear accident, like the one in Fukushima, Japan.Mr. Clune says robots can be sent to a lot of places said to be unsafe.“The problem is that all of those types of situations and environment are extremely unpredictable and dangerous. And it is very likely that robots and humans in those situations become damaged.”He and other scientists are developing technology so that robots will continue operating after the first sign of injury. They want the machines to have the ability to make changes and continue performing until they can be repaired.Mr. Clune and researchers in France have added one more operation to the skill set of robots working under difficult conditions. They say they programmed a hexapod robot, one with six legs, and a robotic arm to learn how to deal with injury. Their findings were reported in the journal “Nature”.Mr. Clune said that once the robots become damaged, they use their intuition and knowledge of how their body works to find a way to deal with the damage.He says the robots are also programmed with child-like curiosity. In other words, they are always asking questions and looking for answers. The whole process takes about a minute for the robots to find a way to overcome damage.66. At the beginning of the passage, the writer mentions dogs to __________.A. provide examples of how animals deal with unexpected injuryB. show how scientists get inspiration from dogs to develop technologyC. introduce the topic in a more attractive wayD. suggest that scientists shouldn’t ignore the similarity between dogs and robots.67. According to the passage, nowadays robots can’t __________.A. play chess or clean the houseB. be sent on a mission to explore on the MarsC. help people in search and rescue operations following an earthquakeD. examine the wreckage of a nuclear accident68. Why are Mr.Clune and other scientists devoted to developing the technology?A. They want to succeed in programming robots with child-like curiosity.B. They expect to enable robots to continue working despite injury under difficult conditions.C. They intend to make robots which can be sent to a lot of places said to be unsafe.D. They are determined to design a more powerful robot for Mars exploration.69. Now scientists have developed robots that, once damaged, can __________.A. rely on their functions to figure out a way to handle the emergency.B. figure out the best way to get around in a short timeC. spend about a second finding a way to overcome damageD. maintain their child-like curiosity and keep asking people around for solutionsDSuppose you become a leader in an organization. It’s very likely that you’ll want to have volunteers to help with the organization’s activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels ofcommunity service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can s hift people’s wish of participation from an internal (内在的) factor (e.g., “I volunteer because it’s important to me”) to an external (外在的) factor (e.g., “I volunteer because I’m required to do so”). When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to important practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to “training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”.Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view “volunteer” as an important social role. It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as “Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am.” Consistent with the researchers’ expectations, they found a positive correlation (正相关) between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer. These results, once again, lead to conc rete advice: “Once an individual begins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity... Items like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity”.32. People volunteer mainly out of ______ .A. academic requirementsB. social expectationsC. financial rewardsD. internal needs33. What can we learn from the Florida study?A. Follow-up studies should last for one year.B. Volunteers should get mentally prepared.C. Strategy training is a must in research.D. Volunteers are provided with concrete advice.34. What is most likely to motivate volunteers to continue their work?A. Individual differences in role identity.B. Publicly identifiable volunteer T-shirts.C. Role identity as a volunteer.D. Practical advice from researchers.35. What is the best title of the passage?A. How to Get People to VolunteerB. How to Study Volunteer BehaviorsC. How to Keep Volunteers’ InterestD. How to Organize Volunteer Activities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。

AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache.I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit.I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model.I realized this a day later,when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars lessthan I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason,when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually,this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it,I had to change to another channel and then change it back.Sometimes this technique would not work,and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise,I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away.At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist,and it stopped working altogether .My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now,but I keep expecting more trouble.37.Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C. He could have bought it at a lower price.D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.38.Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off”in Paragraph 1?A.ended all their programsB.provided fewer channelsC.changed to commercialsD.showed all-night movies39.How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A. By shaking and hitting it.B. By turning it on and off.C. By switching channels.D. By having it repaired.40. How does the author sound when telling the story?A. CuriousB. AnxiousC. CautiousD.

He hit several cones and at least one doll．Debbie Pickford from the Allstate Insurance Company said, "Teens are especially at risk from distracted driving—and not just because they lack experience on the roads．What we know from research on teen brain development, is that teens don't really have fully developed brains until they are twenty-five years old. You put those two things together and you get a much, much higher risk.”59. According to the passage, _____is the most likely to lead to a traffic accident while you are driving．A. talking on the mobile phoneB. reaching for a cell phone．C. texting on the mobile phoneD. bringing along a cell phone60.

The passage is probably followed by a concluding paragraph about ____．A. measures to be takenB. teen brain developmentC. experience on the roadsD. much higher risk62. Of all the following, which is the best title for the passage?A. Car Crashes —the Top Killer.B. Drunken Driving — Dangerous Enough！C. Distracted Driving —Let's Avoid!D. Tips on Driving While CallingDExcused from recycling because you live in a high rise with a rubbish chute? You won’t be long. Miami’s Mark Shantzis has made it simple for those living in tall buildings to use the chute and recycle too.In Shantzis’s Hi-Rise Recycling System, a chute leads to a pie-shaped container with six boxes that can turn around when operated. The system, which fits in the same space as the chute and container now in use, enables glass, plastic, paper, metal and other rubbish to go into separate boxes.The system is controlled from a board fixed next to the chute door. The board has a button for each class of recycling materials (as well as for unrecyclables). At the press of a button, a microcomputer locks all other chute doors and sets the recycling container turning until the right box comes under the chute. The computer also counts the loads and gives a signal by phone when the box is full. And a particular piece of equipment breaks up the non-recyclables.Sorting recyclables before they are collected saves the use of expensive materials recovery equipment which otherwise has to do the sorting. Such equipment often makes recycled materials very expensive, so expensive that tons of recyclables remain wasted. Shantzis believes his system could help recycled materials become more cost-effective.32. The purpose in writing this text is ______.A. to introduce a recycling system for high risesB. to encourage people to recycle their rubbishC. to describe the use of computer technology in recyclingD. to explain the need for rubbish collection in high rises33. When he says, “You won’t be long.”, the writer means that ______.A. you’ll soon be living in a cleaner buildingB. rubbish chutes will become out of date before longC. it won’t be long before you have to recycle your rubbishD. you won’t wait long for your turn to recycle rubbish34. Before dropping rubbish into the chute you have to ______.A. lock the other floors’ chute doorsB. press the correct buttonC. check if the container is fullD. break up the rubbish35. The biggest advantage of this new system is that ______.A. it makes better use of the existing recovery equipmentB. it saves time and spaceC. it saves money for people living in high risesD. it reduces the cost of recycling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。

All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside said. It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hope. The cupboards in her kitchen were full of things which she did not need. It's no use her husband trying to stop her. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would come to her and said: "Madam, this is your lucky day. Everything in your basket is free."One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She ran back to the supermarket, got the tea and went to pay for it. As she did so, she saw the manager come up to her. "Madam," he said, holding out his hand, "I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free."。

AA machine that takes sweat-laden clothes and turns the moisture into drinking water is in u se in . The device spins and heats the material to remove the sweat, and then passes the vapor through a special membran e(膜) designed to only let water molecules（分子） get through.Since its Monday launch, its creators say more than 1,000 pe ople have “drunk others’ sweat" in Gothenburg. They add the l iquid is cleaner than local tap water.The device was built for the United Nation's child-focused charity UNICEF to promote a campaign highlighting t he fact that 780 million people in the world lack access to clea n water.The machine was designed and built by engineer Andreas Ha mmar, known locally for his appearances on TV tech show M ekatronik. He said the critical part of the sweat machine was a new water purification component developed by a company n amed HVR in collaboration with 's Royal Institute of Technolo gy."It uses a technique called membrane distillation(膜蒸馏)," he told the BBC."We use a substance that's a bit like Gor tex that only lets steam through but keeps bacteria, salts, clot hing fibers and other substances out."They have something si milar on the International Space Station to treat astronaut's uri ne - but our machine was cheaper to build. Volunteers have b een sampling the treated sweat since the start of the week in Gothenburg .“The amount of water it produces depends on ho w sweaty the person is - but one person's T-shirt typically produces 10ml , roughly a mouthful."The equipment has been put on show at the Gothia Cup - the world's largest international youth football tournament. Mattias Ronge, chief executive of Stockholm-based advertising agency Deportivo - which organized the stu nt(惊人的表演) - said the machine had helped raise awareness for UNICE F, but in reality had its limitations."People haven't produced as much sweat as we hoped - right now the weather in Gothenburg is lousy," he said."So we've in stalled exercise bikes alongside the machine and volunteers a re cycling like crazy."Even so, the demand for sweat is greate r than the supply. And the machine will never be mass produc ed - there are better solutions out there such as water purifying pills."24.Which of the following is the disadvantage of the machine? _______.A. The water processed by the machine is cleaner than local t ap water .B. The amount of water the machine produces is too small.C.The machine is cheaper than the similar one on the Internat ional Space StationD. The machine can help raise awareness of lacking water in the world .25.What is the main idea of the fifth paragraph ?A. How the machine works.B. Who developed the machine.C. How the machine was invented.D. Why the machine was invented..26.What does Mattias Ronge think of the machine?____A. The machine can solve the severe water shortage in the w orld.B. People do not like the water the machine processesC. The machine should be used in rather hot areas in summer .D. The machine is not worth popularizing.BAs you move around your home, take a good look at the thin gs you have. It is likely that your living room will have a televis ion set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with al most three times as many clothes as yon need. You almost c ertainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abr oad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week. Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material succe ss is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long-hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes.

They use d to work in central . He was a newspaper reporter and she u sed to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs , leavi ng their two children with a nanny (保姆). Most evenings Daniel wouldn't get home until eight or nin e o'clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but be gan to feel that life was passing them by.Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of . "I always wa nted to have a farm hen," says Daniel, "and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It's taken some gettin g used to, but it's been worth it. We have to think twice now a bout spending money on car repairs and we no longer have a ny holidays. However, I think it's made us stronger as a family , and the children are a lot happier.Liz, however, is not quite sure. "I used to enjoy my job, even t hough it was hard work and long hours. I'm not really a countr y girl, but I suppose I'm gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to dothe same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all."74. What do the first two paragraphs tell us?A.

The tour guide explains:“Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Ge orgia Tech, asking them such questions as ‘Would you really marry a woman who works?’ And today it’d be ‘Would you marry one who doesn’t?’”The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment w here Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They m ade fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump”. Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a rep orter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband br ought her books to read from the library. She read so many b ooks that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for h er to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success.

2016年高考新课标卷寒假考练--英语试题(一)配答案

2016年高考新课标卷寒假考练—英语试题（一）配答案AWhen Josephine Cooper was growing up，she learned the importance of charity from her parents．Although they made a modest living for their family of 10，they insisted on sharing with those less fortunate．Half a century later，Mrs. Cooper became a beloved volunteer at the San Diego Food Bank，where she devoted herself to helping others．She organized and ran a distribution center from a church，helping it become the organization’s largest emergency food distribution center in San Diego．She was one of 25 outstanding senior volunteers in the nation selected and invited to Washington D．C．to receive the award．―She was the main person who helped us make that program grow,‖ said Mike Doody，former director of the Food Bank．―She had a way of g etting people to work together and to work hard．She was determined and stubborn，but in a good way．She had a good heart．‖ People knew her as ―Grandma‖ because of her selflessness and her devotion to helping hungry children and families．―She reminded people of their Grandma.‖ Doody said．As a widow with a young child in 1979，Mrs．Cooper was helped through a difficult financial time when the Food Bank provided her with groceries．―She dedicated her life to giving back,‖ said her daughter，Monica Cooper．It wasn’t unusual for a local church to call Mrs Cooper to ask her to aid a needy family．―She would give people food out of her cupboard．Sometimes we would cook a meal for a family living out of their car,‖ Cooper said．Although Mrs Cooper was honored to receive the national award for her volunteer work，she said being able to help others was her reward．She died of liver disease and kidney failure，aged 93．1．The underlined word ―charity‖ in Paragraph 1 refers to ．A．offering help B．donating money C．providing services D. showing sympathy2．Which of the following is true of Mrs. Cooper?A．She died at an early age B．She refused the national award．C．She was kind and devoted．D．She was not easy to get along with．3．Mrs Cooper’s story suggests that ．A．everyone needs a Grandma nearby B．children are what their parents areC．a sound mind is in a sound body D．a mother’s love never changesBThose who have suffered from insomnia know the sinking feeling of watching the clock tick．Now a new study in the Archives of Internal Medicine suggests that lying in bed awake may actually contribute to the problem of sleeplessness．The study of 79 adults（average age 72）with insomnia aimed to determine whether brief behavioral interventions for insomnia would help．Traditional behavioral therapy （疗法）requires at least half a dozen hour-long sessions with a therapist — a costly commitment many patients either can't make or don't have access to．Other options include sleep-aiding medications or supplements．In the current study，the 39 participants in the behavioral therapy group received a 45-to-60-minute instructing session，plus a 30-minute follow-up session and two 20-minute phone calls．Doctors offered the following behavioral interventions for improving sleep: reduce time in bed; get up at the same time every day，regardless of sleep duration; don't go to bed unless sleepy; and don't stay in bed unless asleep．The other 40 participants in the study were given printed educational materials about insomnia，which included the same instructions given to the intervention group，but without the individualized sessions with a therapist．Two weeks later，the latter group also got a 10-minute follow-up phone call．At the end of four weeks，the behavioral treatment group was significantly more likely to show improvements in sleep than the printed-materials group．By that time，55% of those who received behavioral treatment no longer met the criteria for insomnia，compared with 13% of the group that got educational brochures．The good news comes at the same time as a report on the health effects of insomnia from the U.K.’s Mental Health Foundation．The report，Sleep Matters，suggests a link between insomnia and poor relationships，low energy levels and an inability to concentrate．Poor sleep has already been linked to depression，immune deficiency and heart disease．4．What is the meaning of the underlined word ― insomnia‖?A．sleeplessness B．depressionC．heart disease D．immune deficiency5．What is the disadvantage of traditional behavioral therapy?A．It can’t help．B．It costs a lot of money．C．It requires sessions with a therapist．D．It includes sleep-aiding medications．6．How to improve sleep according to the doctor?A．Lying in bed awake．B．Get up early every day．C．Don’t go t o bed late at night．D．Don’t stay in bed if you are not asleep．7．We can learn from the text that insomnia may cause the following results except_____．A．depression B．concentration C．immune deficiency D．heart diseaseCDhaka's pedal-powered tricycles (脚踏三轮车) may not appear high-tech but they keep the commuters moving and do no damage to the environment.Travel, they say, broadens your mind. I am not sure if it really does but it is certainly an experience in itself. Just like the food, the public transport is also an experience. Dhaka streets are full of carbon emitting buses and trucks and noisy cars.Traffic jams are a part of daily life in Dhaka. Residents say vehicle-related pollution has been more and more serious over the last few years. Perhaps to ease the situation, some of the many non-profit non-government organizations –and the civil society ought to launch a ―Save the Capital campaign‖.It is true that in Dhaka at any hour of the day and in many areas, there are always crowds of people going somewhere –or just waiting for something to happen. One thing is sure: You will never feel lonely!One form of transport which is extremely popular, widely available, cheap, private and eco-friendly is a three-wheeled invention called rickshaw(人力车). The most interesting feature of these slow-moving pedal-powered transport is the bright and colourful ―moving art‖ which decorates their side and back. The drawings range from romance to the wildest flights of fantasy. The scenes are common: airplanes, helicopters, and gun-battles, masked men in sports cars, rosy cheeked well-endowed women, palatial mansions, rivers and green landscape.When you hire a rickshaw, make yourself ―comfortable‖ and tell the driver your destination, you have then become a part of the moving art exhibition. The rickshaws are decorated in vivid colors, from front to back.We cannot deny that the rickshaw art however modest it may be reaches millions everyday –something only dreamt of by the likes of Picasso, Van Gogh, Turner or Monet.While at the local level the rickshaws provide a readily available cheap means of transport and a way out of the crowded Dhaka streets, on a broader and international level the rickshaws are contributing to help bring down the city’s pollution levels and ease global warming.8. The first paragraph serves as a(n) ________.A. explanationB. introductionC. commentD. background9. According to the passage, the writer agrees that ________.A. we can broaden our mind when travelingB. traffic jams is the most serious problem in DhakaC. we can experience public transport when travelingD. Dhaka is the most famous travel destination10. It is true that in Dhaka ________.A. there are still not enough rickshawsB. it is a little expensive to hire a rickshawC. rickshaws are very popular and eco-friendlyD. rickshaws are decorated with the drawings of famous artists11. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. the writer thinks highly of rickshawsB. rickshaws will be popular all over the world soonC. the drawings on the rickshaws covers limited topics.D. the government has launched a ―Save the Capital campaign‖12. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To introduce Dhaka to tourists.B. To report recent news in Dhaka .C. To teach tourists how to use rickshaw.D. To provide some traffic information in Dhaka.DThe Diet Zone: A Dangerous PlaceDiet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet .... We are surrounded by the word ―diet‖ everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brains to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale （秤）instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word ―diet‖ in food labels.On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients (营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.13. From Paragraph 1, we learn that ______.A. diet products fail to bring out people’s potentialB. people have difficulty in choosing diet productsC. diet products are misleading peopleD. people are fed up with diet products14. In Paragraph 3, ―gain comes without pain‖ probably means ______.A. losing weight is effortlessB. it costs a lot to lose weightC. diet products bring no painD. diet products are free from calories15. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products ______.A. are over-consumedB. lack basic nutrientsC. are short of chemicalsD. provide too much energy七选五：每题二分You think you know your dog．16 She probably recognizes you when she sees you．But can a dog tell by simply looking at you whether you have a happy or an angry expression on your face? Researchers in Austria have taught pet dogs to know the difference.17 When dog owners shout or speak in a strong，sharp voice，dogs often act guilty and quietly move away from the area．Recently，researchers found that dogs can look at our faces，and tell the difference between a smile and a frown．The animals were able to recognize a look of approval from one of disapproval．Researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine performed a series of experiments．18 They showed the dogs two pictures of either the upper or lower half of a person’s face．On one picture，the person looked happy．The other appeared angry．The dogs were then shown images of the eyes or mouths of people they had never seen before．19 Once the dogs learned to recognize which image was happy or angry，they could easily identify the same expressions in pictures of any face．Future studies will try to show whether dogs can learn the meaning of facial expressions．20 The researchers’findings were published in the journal Current Biology．They provide the first solid evidence that humans are not the only species that can read the body language of another species．A．Dogs are very aware of sound．B．Dogs have feelings just as you do．C．But how well does your dog know you?D．They were also shown the left half of the faces used in training．E．Some dogs are very unhappy when they are left alone for a long time．F．They taught dogs to recognize facial expressions．G．For example，whether a frown shows that someone is angry．完形填空：每题1.5 分When I was thirteen, one day my mom told my family that she had to tell us something．So my dad, my brother and I all sat down on the sofa to begin the discussion．You could feel the 21 atmosphere of the room．It was 22 that something was wrong．Then my mom told us that she had been diagnosed with a very serious disease．That was when we all had a moment of 23 and cried．After that my mom started the 24 and had to travel to the hospital every day．After a week, she began to lose her 25 and so she shaved it all off．My mom would always wear bright-colored scarf’s and after a while 26 to buy a wig ．Along with losing her hair she lost all her nails．27 , I had never seen a desperate look in my mom's eye．I remember one day I went with my mom to the hospital．When we were 28 for her to receive the treatment, we kept telling jokes．We both burst out 29 from time to time．Everyone in the waiting room was so 30 , while we were in the middle of the room, chatting 31 .

ADear Alcohol,You've been around forever. I can remember all the pain you've caused for me.Do you remember the night you almost took my father's life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He's addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn't the only one hurt by you that night.Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. "I'm so embarrassed," they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit . "I'm sorry," they said when I called taxies for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. "This won't happen again," they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn't realize her brother was in the midst of it all. She never saw him again. And it's all your fault.I wish you'd walk out of my life forever. I don't want anything to do with you. Look at all the painyou've caused. Sure, you've made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring (引诱) in the people I love. Stop hurting me, please.Sincerely,Anonymous24. What is the author's purpose in writing to alcohol?A. To introduce Mr. Alcohol to the readers.B. To describe the harm alcohol did to his family.C. To show how much alcohol can hurt people.D. To show the great fun that alcohol can bring to people's life.25. What did alcohol do to the author's father?A. It made him crash into two other cars and took his life.B. It made him drink too much and he had to get his stomach pumped.C. It made him kill two other people when driving.D. It made him get into a car accident and badly injure himself.26. The underlined phrase "were intrigued by" is closest in meaning to ______.A. were familiar withB. were int1`BAlmost five years ago, I announced to my loved ones I was to become a Mrs. Naturally. I then began to wonder about the perfect wedding dress, hoping that it would fit me. Even at the age of 23, I had gone through my share of dieting.I am an emotional eater and I knew that at 5 feet 5 inches tall and 180 pounds, I wasn’t at my healthiest. My mother had been doing Weight Watchers for some time and was rapidly seeing results without starving herself. She shared her books with me and explained the program: estimate your daily target based on your weight and other factors, write down everything you eat and move! The longer I stuck to it the more I noticed a difference in the way I enjoyed food. I soon began to like eating fruits and vegetables for snacks instead of chocolate bars and chips. My mother and I went on walks together and kept each other in check. Unsurprisingly, I lost twenty pounds soon and looked amazing in my wedding dress.I buy healthy foods, replace ice cream and faithfully keep a food journal. I exercised and take evening walks. Because I have a hard time reaching for something healthy by myself, I bought a Weight Watchers cookbook and use it to prepare our meals.

However, it’s still a Chinese style heroic legend and an exciting adventure against evil and darkness in troubled times, according to Lu Wei, the producer.“Monkey King is China’s super hero. It is so popular among Chinese audien ce because they long for and cherish our own superhero,” said Tian Xiaopeng, the director.Some media also put on a lot of comments from foreigners.“He’s never dead, he’s just fallen asleep. We all need a hero to look up to, to give us hope and courage when it is needed. We grew up listening to his tales, his great adventures and heroic deeds. What makes a true hero is not just helping people when one has the power, but having the courage to stand up against the evil even without power. And this is what the film is about. When the hero loses his power and armor, when he is nothing more than an ordinary monkey, what would he do to protect the one he loves? This is also about a group of Chinese dream chasers trying to keep the beacon of hope lit even though being in the most unfavorable situations” from Tumblr.“Though the film was injected with a little bit of Hollywood, its bold and creative story has attracted several Chinese cinema aficionados.” from Yibada.One netizen posted after watching the film: “The film sets a new high-bar for the domestic animation film, when I walked out of the theater, I was crying.”12.

Do you argue whether it’s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit?If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who f elt the elephant’s trunk said it was like a snake.

It can help your body grow stro ng to take care of what you eat.There are four main food groups altogether. The dairy group has food like milk, cheese and sour milk. The other three groups are the meat and fish group, the fruit and vegetable group, and the bread and rice group. Each meal should have at least one food from all four main groups. With all these food together, you will be give n eno ugh en ergy duri ng the day.It is easy to get into bad eating- habits. You may eat your breakfast in a hurry to get to school on time. Or you maynot have time for a good lunch. It may seem easy to. But you will find yourself tired in these days and you can not think quickly.Watch ing what you eat will help your body rema in healthy and stron g. It is also good to take some exercise. It will help you eat more if you take a walk or play games in the open air. Having a good eati ng habit with some exercise is the key to your health.67. Which of the following diets do you think is the best one?A . Corn, fish , cream and pork. B. Eggs, tomatoes and chicken.C. Milk, bread, cabbages and beef. D . Rice, beancurd, apples, fish and chicken.68. Which of the following is a good eating habit?A . Going to school without any breakfast.B. Finishing your lunch in a very short time.C. Eating fish and chips for supper all the time.D. Having at least one food from all four groups in each meal.69 . In this passage the writer mainly tells us that ______ .A . the right kind of food with exercise will keep you healthyB . tak ing exercise can keep your body strongC . every pers on n eeds food to grow wellD . eno ugh en ergy helps people think more quickly70 . The underlined word “ dairy ” in the second paragraph means _______ .A . the shop that sells milk and butterB . the food made out of cows such as milk and butterC . a farm where cows are keptD . a place where milk products are madeThe term culture now is more used to describe everything from the fine arts to the outlook of a business group or a sports team. In its original sense, however, culture includes all identifying aspects of a racial group, nation, or empire: its physical environment, history, and traditions, its social rules and economic structure, and its religious beliefs and arts.The central beliefs and customs of a group are handed down from one generation to another. It is for this reason that most people regard culture as learned rather than innate. People acquire a culture because they are not born with one. The process by which a person develops a taste for regional foods, accented speech, or an outlook on the world over time, therefore, is known as enculturation （文化适应）.Cultures are often identified by their symbols —images that are familiar and coated with meaning. Totem poles （图腾柱） carved with animals and creative figures suggest aspects of the Native American peoples of the Pacific Northwest but more literally represent specific tribes （部落）. In Asia and India, the color of yellow is connected with temples while in ancient China it was a color only the emperor ' s family was allowed to wear. Thus, different cultures may respond to asymbol quite differently. For example, to some a flag may represent pride, historical accomplishments, or ideals; to others, however, it can mean danger or oppression.To individuals unfamiliar with cultures outside their own, the beliefs, behaviors, and artistic expression of other groups can seem strange and even threatening. A society that ranks all other cultures against its own standards is considered to be ethnocentric （from the Greek ethnos, meaning “ people, ” and kentros, meaning “ center ” ）. A strongly ethnocentric society assumes also that what is different from its own culture is likely to be inferior and, possibly, wrong or evil.All people are ethnocentric to some degree, and some aspects of ethnocentrism, such as national pride, contribute to a well- functioning society. An appreciation for one 'oswn culture, however, does not prevent acceptance and respect for another culture. History documents the long-term vigour and success of multicultural groups in which people from numerous and various cultural backgrounds live and work together. Extreme ethnocentrism, in contrast, can lead to racism —the belief that it is race and racial origin that account for variations in human character or ability and that one ' s own race is superior to all others.87. What does the word “ innate ” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. Instinctive.B. Developed.C. Believable.D. Cultivated.88. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Different interpretations of a symbol help to distinguish one culture from another.B. An eth nocen tric country ope ns welcomi ng arms to cultures differe nt from its own.C. Culture con sists of some positive features of a racial group, n atio n or empire.D. People from various cultural backgro unds ofte n reach an agreeme nt on some image.89. What can be in ferred from the passage?A. All aspects of eth nocen trism can produce n egative effects on a society.B. Racism is unlikely to bring about serious conflicts among different cultures.C. Respect and accepta nee of differe nt cultures are a proper cultural attitude.D. Countries with a strong sense of national pride play a superior role in the world.90. Which might be the best title of the passage?A. Culture, the origi n of racial superiorityB. Culture, a faithful mirror of historyC. Culture, the vigour of world developmentD. Culture, a distinctive identity of a nation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。

ADear Alcohol,You've been around forever. I can remember all the pain you've caused for me.Do you remember the night you almost took my father's life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He's addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn't the only one hurt by you that night.Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. "I'm so embarrassed," they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit . "I'm sorry," they said when I called taxies for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. "This won't happen again," they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn't realize her brother was in the midst of it all. She never saw him again. And it's all your fault.I wish you'd walk out of my life forever. I don't want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you've caused. Sure, you've made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring (引诱) in the people I love. Stop hurtingme, please.Sincerely,Anonymous24. What is the author's purpose in writing to alcohol?A. To introduce Mr. Alcohol to the readers.B. To describe the harm alcohol did to his family.C.

I then began to wonder about the perfect wedding dress, hoping that it would fit me. Even at the age of 23, I had gone through my share of dieting.I am an emotional eater and I knew that at 5 feet 5 inches tall and 180 pounds, I wasn’t at my healthiest. My mother had been doing Weight Watchers for some time and was rapidly seeing results without starving herself. She shared her books with me and explained the program: estimate your daily target based on your weight and other factors, write down everything you eat and move! The longer I stuck to it the more I noticed a difference in the way I enjoyed food. I soon began to like eating fruits and vegetables for snacks instead of chocolate bars and chips. My mother and I went on walks together and kept each other in check. Unsurprisingly, I lost twenty pounds soon and looked amazing in my wedding dress.I buy healthy foods, replace ice cream and faithfully keep a food journal. I exercised and take evening walks. Because I have a hard time reaching for something healthy by myself, I bought aWeight Watchers cookbook and use it to prepare our meals. I use small plates and bowls to trick myself into believing there is more food than the serving size.It’s been hard to discipline myself not to eat badly. But when I find myself having a desire for strawberries instead of chocolate, I know it’s all worthwhile.21．The author successfully lost twenty pounds ____________．A．by walking and eating less every day B．by only eating fruits and vegetablesC．under her doctor’s direction D．with the help of her mother22．What is the third paragraph mainly about?A．How to prepare healthy food．B．The ways of eating less food．C．The role exercise plays in keeping fit．D．What the author does to keep healthy．23．We know from the last paragraph that the author ____________．A．likes strawberries mostB．has formed healthy eating habitsC．can’t resist chocolateD．finds keeping a healthy diet easyCJust three days after hitting the screen across China, the Chinese animation (动画) film “Monkey King: Hero is Back” aroused enthusiasm among audience and ticket sales have exceeded（超过）100 million yuan ($16.11 million).Web celebrities and many fans even posted topics about the film on China’s Twitter-like Weibo, at which heated discussion are sparked.“Monkey King: Hero is Back” is based on the household legend of the Monkey King, but tell s a not-so familiar story.
