Psychologists have discovered that even the most independent-minded of us will conform to social pressure when we are with a group of people. In one classic experiment, people were shown a vertical（垂直的） line and asked to find a line of identical length from a selection of three.You might think that this is an absurdly easy task, and when people perform it by themselves they do it very well. However, psychologists have discovered that we are very easily swayedby the opinions of other people when we do this task in a group. In one study, a group of three people was set up,where two of the people were confederates（同伙） of the experimenter. When the confederates deliberately gave wrong answers, people were often swayed to give the wrong answer also. In fact, 75% of people gave at least one wrong answer, with some people conforming to peer pressure on every occasion.But why do people conform in this way? In an easy task like this, it seems that people do not want to step out of linewith the prevailing opinion of the group. On more difficult tasks, people also conform because they lose confidence intheir own ability to make decisions and prefer to trust the majority opinion instead.1. In Paragraph 1, the underlined word “conform” probably means “”.A. seek independenceB. disobey ordersC. follow what others doD. seek pleasure2. What is the purpose of the experiment described in Paragraph 2?A. To explain why people would be influenced by the opinionsof others.B. To prove that people are easily influenced by the opinions of others.C. To train the confederates of the experimenter as independent-minded.D. To describe how people would be influenced by the opinions of others.3. In the last paragraph, according to the author, why wouldn’t one help the woman?A. He thinks he has no responsibilities to give a hand.B. He thinks he has nothing to do with it.C. He is too shy to give his helping hand.D. He thinks someone else will offer assistance.4. What method does the author mainly use to develop the text?A. Giving examples.B. Cause-effect analysis.【参考答案】1---4、CBDAASince I started working part-time at a grocery store, I have learned that a customer is more than someone who buys things. To me, a customer is a person whose memory fails entirely once he or she starts to push a shopping cart(车). One of the first things customers forget is how to count. There is no other way to explain how so many people get in their express line, which is clearly marked 15 items(件) or less, with 20, 25 or even a cart load of items.Customers also forget why they came to the store in the first place. Just as I finish ringing up an order, a customer will say, “ Oops, I forgot to pick up a fresh loaf of bread. I hope you don’t mind waiting, while I go to get it.”Five minutes later, he’s back with the bread, a bottle of milk, and three rolls of paper towels. What is stranger is that customers also seem to forget that they have to pay for their groceries. Instead of writing a check or looking for a credit card while I am ringing up the groceries, a customer will wait until I announce the total. Then, in surprise, she says , “ Oh no, what did I do with my check book?” After 5 minutes of digging through her purse, she borrows my pen because she has forgotten hers. But I have to tolerate cust omers because they pay my salary, and that’s something I can’t afford to forget.21. What does the author say about his customers?A .They can not count numbers.B. They sometimes jump the queue.C. They don’t know how to express themselves.D. They behave as if their memories had totally failed.22. According to the text, who are supposed to be in the express line?A Customers with nothing purchased.B. Customers with not more than 15 items.C. Customers with items between 15 and 2523. When customers arrive at the check-out counter,they_______A. find their pens lostB. go back and get more itemsC. can not wait to pay for their groceries.D. prefer paying by check to paying with a credit card.24. We can infer from the text that ________A. business in the grocery store runs wellB. the author finds his present job full of funC. the author’s part-time job calls for patienceD. customers go to grocery stores without planning.21~24 DBBCBFlappy Bird is flapping(拍打) its wings no more. The popular game for mobile equipment was removed from online stores on Sunday by its Vietnamese creator. Who said its fame “destroys my simple life”In spite of its simple graphs, Flappy Bird was an extremely difficult game since many users could only keep the bird in the air for a new seconds before it hits an obstacle (障碍物) and falls.After Mr. Nguyen took the game down, many fans turned to social media to ask for its return. The game is no longer a available through online stores, but it still works on phones that had previously downloads it. However, some fans expressed their relief that the game was gone. One user described Flappy Bird as “ an addictive game that everyone hates to love” while another said, “I think it’s for the best, and for the best of all the broken –down phones out there.25.

It changes the brain, which could bring about cognitive advances as well," said Yunxin Wang of Beijing Normal University.The brain’s cortex(皮层) plays a leading role in one’s abilities, from thought and language to memory and attention. The area matures rapidly in the early years of life, and its development could be affected more if a person starts musical training before it fully matures.Wang studied 48 Chinese students aged between 19 and 21 who had received formal music training for at least a year sometime between the ages of 3 and 15. Each had a scan tomeasure the thickness of the brain’s cortex.“We’re not sure why these changes occur, bu t a reasonable explanation is that early starters might depend more on hearing clues(线索) when learning music, since it might be more difficult for younger children to read music,” Wang said.32. According to the researchers, musical training before the age of seven can _______________.A. contribute to future work.B. create a successful lifeC. develop all-round abilitiesD. deal with puzzling problem33. When conducting the research with the students, Wang __________.A. tested their language abilitiesB. watched their musical performancesC. focused on school behavior and achievementsD. measured the thickness of the brain’s cortex34. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _____________.A. it must be hard for kids to read musicB. kids are more likely to learn music by hearingC. Wang’s explanation has been the most reasonableD. Wang will research into the reasons for the brain change35. For what purpose does the author write the text?A. To describe the development of brain.B. To challenge the previous discoveries.C. To present the findings of the research.D. To give advice on how to learn music.32~35 ADBC。

But it’s still unusual to find women doin g dirty or heavy jobs.Nikki Henriques is a car maintenance engineer in London. She used to be a secretary. Barty Philips, a journalist with “The Observer”, a Sunday newspaper, asked her why she wanted to work with cars.“My first reason was independ ence(独立),” she said. “I also wanted to use my hands, and I like learning about how things work. Many people prefer to have a woman repair their cars, too.”Nikki didn’t find it easy to become a car maintenance engineer. She went to a Government Skill Centre—a special sort of college where people can learn a new job for twenty weeks. “For ten weeks I was the only woman among four hundred men, and some of them were rude to me. It was also very tiring—from 8 in the morning to 5 in the afternoon, with only 30 minutes for lunch.”Now Nikki works free-lance, that is, she’s self-employed, working for herself and not for a garage or a company.Barty Phillips also spoke to Rose, who works as a general builder in Sheffield, an industrial town in the north of England. Like Nikki, Rose used to be a secretary. “I didn’t enjoy it at all.” she said. “I wanted to do more practical work, and I wanted to be self-employed.”Rose joined a women’s building co-operative, and she learnt her job from other people and from experience. However, many of the women in her group have been specially trained. Most of the jobs they do are improvements to buildings and general repairs.“People often say, ‘Oh, women aren’t strong enough,’ but I don’t think strength is important.” said Rose, “The important thing is to get used to doing a different sort of work.”Rose would like more women to come into the building industry. “Everything built at the moment is a product of man’s world. If women become builders, they will be able to understand the production of their house and their towns.”59. There are laws in Britain to help women _____.A. get higher pay than menB. enjoy more freedom than menC. do whatever they like to doD. have equal chances with men in education and work60.

According to Rose, a woman wishing to be a general builder _____.A. must be specially trainedB. should be strong enoughC. can learn her job either from others or by experienceD. must get used to doing a different sort of work62. The best title for this passage might be _____.A. Nikki Henriques, a car maintenance engineerB. Rose, a General Builder in ShefieldC. Women at WorkD. British Women参考答案 59—62 DCDC*********************************************************结束CThings you need to know about studying thereStudy styleSince the 1950s, the Netherlands has had courses in English especially for foreign students. Students are expected to be critical of what they read and hear, and to be able of working independently. Foreign students will soon notice that at Dutch institutions for higher learning people are expected to do a lot of talking. The most common form of teaching is the seminar or working group, where a small group of students work under a teacher’s supervision to analyze（分析）a certain problem. On exams, they have to show that they know the material, and that they have formed well-founded opinions on the subject.Accommodations（住宿）If you are in an exchange programme or an international course, it is quite possible that a room will be arranged for you. Accept it immediately, or you will regret it later. That’s because finding a place to live in a country as crowded as the Netherlands is not easy.Before you leave China, ask your host institution whether or not housing will indeed be arranged in advance. If you are in the Netherlands and still looking for a place, ask the international relations office or the student dean for advice.ExpencesTuition: （学费）Bachelor’s degree：about 2,500 euros a yearMaster’s degree: 5,000-12,000 euros a yearLiving expenses:Experience has shown that a year in the Netherlands costs a ChineseStudent about 450-700 euros a month.Here is a breakdown of average prices of supermarket goods:Litre of milk: 0.5—0.8 euroKilo of apples: 1.5 eurosShampoo, 400ml: 4 eurosTube of toothpaste: 1 euroBed sheet: 20 eurosOther expenses:Haircut: 15 eurosAir ticket to China: 600-800 eurosMobile phone call(one minute): 0.1-0.3 euroPhone call to China (with IP card): 7 euros(one minute)Postage stamp in the Netherlands: 0.39 euroStamp for China: 0.78 euro(1 euro-about 10 yuan)TransportationTrains, buses and trams run throughout the country.If you really want to sample Dutch life, and get around quickly and easily, buy yourself a bicycle. Most students buy second-hand bicycles. A reasonable one will cost you 70-120 euros.You can find them at second-hand bicycle shops or at the bicycle parking facilities near railway stations.63．Teachers want foreign students to do much talking and analyzing in order to make them .A．get higher marks B．pass exams easierC．be able to work independently D．g et in close touch with each other 64．The passage implies that .A．it is easier to find a room in NetherlandsB．it is difficult to find a room in NetherlandsC．your host institution will surely find a room for youD．the international relations office can find a room for you65．It costs at least a year for a Master degree.A．104,000 yuan B．104,000 euros C．174,000 yuan D．134,000 euros66．Most students ride second-hand bicycles mainly because .A．they can ride them fast and easilyB．bicycles are safe and comfortable for ridingC．bicycles are convenient and easy to parkD．bicycles are convenient and cheap参考答案 63—66CBAD*********************************************************结束DA new study says one part of the human brain may become smaller as the result of acondition known as jet lag. Jet lag results from flying long distances in an airplane. People with jet lag may feel extremely tired for several days. They may also have problems thinking clearly and remembering.Recently a researcher at the University of Bristol in Britain reported the findings of his jet lag study, which involved twenty young women who worked for international airlines. They had served passengers on airplanes for five years. These flight attendants flew across many countries and at least seven time zones. In the study, the flight attendants had different amounts of time to recover from jet lag. Half the women spent five days or fewer in their home areas between long flights. The other half spent more than fourteen days in their home areas.The researcher took some saliva from the women”s mouths to measure levels of a hormone(荷尔蒙) that increases during stress(紧张). He tested them to see if they could remember where black spots appeared on a computer screen. And he took pictures of their brains to measure the size of the brain”s temporal lobes(脑叶).It was found that the women who had less time between flights had smaller right temporal lobes. This area of the brain deals with recognizing and remembering what is seen. The same group performed worse and had slower reaction times on the visual memory test. And their saliva samples showed higher levels of stress hormones.The researcher believes the brain needs at least ten days to recover after a long trip. He says airline workers told him their ability to remember got worse after working on planes for about four years. Other studies have shown that increased feelings of stress can cause a loss of cells in the part of the brain that controls memory.Scientists say more tests are needed to study the effects of jet lag on the brain. They want to find out if too much jet lag could permanently (永久性的) affect memory.67. According to the text, jet lag .A.can cause difficulties in speakingB.can make people feel tired for a few weeksC.can be only found in flight attendantsD.can be caused by flying over several time zones68. It can be inferred from the text that .A.the conclusion is refused by many scientistsB.scientists fear that this research is not done properlyC.the scientific conclusion needs the support from many testsD.every women who were examined in the research were mot healthy69. From the result of the research we can see that .A.the women who have longer rest at home show better memoryB.the women who fly in short time have smaller right temporal lobesC.the women who have longer flights fail the memory testD.the women who rest more than 14 days produce less hormones70. What is the subject discussed in the text?A.The cause of jet lag.B. A story of a group of flight attendants.C.The importance of having enough rest after flights.D. A research about the effects of jet lag on the brain. 参考答案 67-70.D .C .A .D**********************************************************结束。

I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest,I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to constructa nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings.I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all —LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.1.What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?A.Efforts made in vain.B.Getting injured in his work.C.Feeling uncertain about his future.D.Creatures forced out of their homes.2.Why was the author called to Muttontown?A.To rescue a woman.B.To take care of a woman.C.To look at a baby owl.D.To cure a young owl.3.What made the chick calm down?A.A new nest.B.Some food.C.A recording.D.Its parents.4.How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?A.It's unexpected.B.It's beautiful.C.It's humorous.D.It's discouraging.2 Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow coms to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall?A bedroom, after all, is a very pri vate space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.Perhaps we all live in each others’ space. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.1.What happened when the author was about to take a photo?A.Her camera stopped working.B.A woman blocked her view.C.Someone asked her to leaveD.A friend approached from behind.2.According to the author, the woman was probably_______.A.enjoying herselfB.losing her patienceC.waiting for the sunsetD.thinking about her past3.In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?A.The rich color of the landscape.B.The perfect positioning of the camera.C.The woman’s existence in the photo.D.The soft sunlight that summer day.4.The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand ________.A.the need to be close to natureB.the importance of private spaceC.the joy of the vacation in ItalyD.the shared passion for beauty5.The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon _______.A.a particular life experienceB.the pleasure of travelingC.the art of photographyD.a lost friendship3. Stephen Hawking, the brilliant British theoretical physicist who published wildly popular books exploring the mysteries of the universe, has died, according to a family spokesman. He was 76.Considered by many to be the world’s greatest living scientist, Hawking was also a cosmologist, astronomer, mathematician and author of numerous books including the landmark“A Brief History of Time,” which has sold more than 10 million copies.With fellow physicist Roger Penrose, Hawking combined Einstein’s theory of relativity with quantum theory(量子理论) to suggest that space and time would begin with the Big Bang and end in black holes. He also discovered that black holes were not completely black but emit(释放) radiation and would likely eventually evaporate(蒸发) and disappear. “It will be difficult enough to avoid disasters on planet Earth in the next 100 years, let alone next thousand, or million. The human race shouldn’t have all its eggs in one basket or on one plant.Let’s hope we can avoid dropping the basket until we have spread the load.”Hawking suffered from ALS (amyotrophic latcral sclerosis), a disease which is usually fatal within a few years. He was diagnosed in 1963, when he was 21, and doctors initially gave him only a few years to live. The disease left Hawking wheelchair-bound and paralyzed. He was able to move only a few fingers on one hand and was completely dependent on others or on technology for everything—bathing, dressing, eating, even speech. “I have been lucky that my condition has progressed more slowly than is often the case. But it shows that one need not lose hope.”Dramatically, he even guest-starred in the “Star Trek”, “The Simpsons” and the 2014movie “The theory of Everything”.Hawking leaves behind three children and three grandchildren. “We are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today,” Hawking’s children, Lucy, Robert and Tim, said in a statement. “He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years. His courage and persistence with his brilliance and humor inspired people across the world. “We will miss him forever.”1.From the passage, we can learn that _______.A.Hawking was diagnosed with the fatal disease since he was born.B.Hawking was once the main character in the movie and TV series.C.Hawking just published one book titled “A Brief History of Time”D.Hawking had to rely on other people and technology to do everything in life.2.Which of the following is NOT believed by Stephen Hawking?A.The space and time would end in black holes.B.Black holes are not exactly black in color.C.The disasters can be avoided in the next thousand or million years.D.Black holes can give off radiation and will disappear in the end.3.What does the underlined sentence mean?A.The humans should explore other planets to live.B.The humans should stay together to fight the disasters.C.The earth will be destroyed if humans continue to live hereD.No other planets can replace the earth as the living place.4.What would be the best title of the passage?A.A Star Just Went Out in the CosmosB.The Achievements of Stephen HawkingC.Stephen Hawking’s S uffering of the DiseaseD.The Predictions of the Great Man4. Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with hisstay-at-home dad when he was seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties(特色菜) in Germany, Spain, and France.At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends.

AWinning the lottery (彩票) is not the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for many past winners. Sad stories do exist in large numbers for the past lottery winners and that's why some financial experts say "70 percent of lottery winners will squander away (乱花) winning within a few years." Some end up losing all within two years, family relationships destroyed or even worse.Wayne Schenk was an old soldier diagnosed with lung cancer. When he won a million dollars in a lottery he thought his troubles were over and he would get the advanced medical treatment that might save his life. But Lottery officials refused to pay him the total sum in a single payment and they said they could not make an exception to the regulations. When Schenk died in 2007, he'd only received one payment of $34,000.Another lottery winner, Billy Bob Harrell, Jr. killed himself two years after winning 31 million dollars in the Texas lottery in 1997.He'd spent large amounts of money and given large amounts away, but he didn't end me expected peace that should have come with the freedom of money.Other lottery winners have ended up in prison for crimes. Many suffer bankruptcy (破产) after the big jackpot (头奖) is spent and given away, including some of the eight people who won the 365 million Powerball in 2006.The examples given paint a sad picture of what can happen if you win a big lottery jackpot, but fortunately, these examples don't tell the stories of all jackpot winners.56. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Most lottery winners use up money quickly.B. Most lottery winners don't really end up well.C. Winning lottery means relationships destroyed.D. Financial experts are against the lottery industry.57. Why did lottery officials refuse to give Wayne Schenk the million dollars in one payment?A. He was diagnosed with lung cancer.B. He was unwilling to give away his money.C. They had to observe the official rules.D. They didn't want to disturb his peace.58. The author supports his main idea by ____.A. giving examplesB. making comparisonsC. listing numbersD. listing reasons59. In the following paragraph, the author will probably talk about_____.A. advice given by financial expertsB. happy stories of the lottery winnersC. conclusion drawn by the authorD. regulations about lottery winning56-59BCAB************************************************黑龙江省大庆实验中学2018届高三月考---BTeleNav GPS Navigator(导航仪)TeleNav Talks.

Scientists have shown that eggs produce proteins with a function similar to that of powerful blood pressure-lowering drugs.The research, from the University of Alberta in Canada, showed that when eggs come in contact with stomach enzymes (酶) they produce a protein that acts in the same way as Ace inhibitors, but more work is needed to show the effects outside a lad and in the human body.Earlier this month, British researchers declared that, contrary to popular beliefs, it is healthy to go to work on an egg. They concluded that the type of cholesterol (胆固醇) found in eggs has little effect on increasing heart disease risks.Research Professor Bruce Griffin, form the University of Surrey, said: “The wrong beliefs linking egg eating to high blood cholesterol and heart disease must be corrected. The amount of fat in our diet has an effect on blood cholesterol thatis several times greater than the relatively small amounts of cholesterol found in eggs. The UK public do not need to be limiting the number of eggs they eat. They can be encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of nature’s most nutritious foods.”The British Heart Foundation dropped its three-egg-a-week limit in 2005. however, half of Britons believe the limit still applies.63. From the text we know that Ace inhibitors are ________.A. a kind of medicineB. a kind of proteinC. a kind of illnessD. a kind of food64. According to what Professor Bruce said, eggs ________.A. are the most nutritious foodB. have no effect on blood cholesterolC. can be included in a healthy dietD. are forbidden to be eaten in the UK65. We can infer from the text that ________.A. drugs to lower blood pressure will be replaced by eating eggsB. stomach enzymes mixed with eggs can cure heart diseasesC. most Britons agree the three-egg-a-week limit should be droppedD. about 50 percent of Britons think eating an egg a day is bad for their health 66．The text is meant ________.A. to introduce scientific findings about eggsB. to introduce a medicine made from eggsC. to tell people how to lower their blood pressureD. to advise people to eat as many eggs as possible63-66 ACDA******************************************************黑龙江省大庆实验中学2018届高三月考----D Visitors to museums have to pay “voluntary” admission fees, Boris Johnson, the mayor (市长) of London, urged yesterday. He said that encouraging visitors to set a value on museums and art galleries, which have been free since 2001, would work extremely well. Mr. Johnson held up New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art as a model. Although New York’s museums are officially free, visitors are strongly encouraged to pay a recommended entry fee of $20. At the Met, entry is impossible without first going to the ticket desk.Mr. Johnson’s spokesman later admitted that free admission was a “huge draw” for London, but he said, “Having visited the Met last week, the mayor is impressedby how they maximize voluntary contributions and believes there are lessons to be learnt.” Mark Jones, director of the Victoria and Albert Museum, told The Times that the museum already requested a £3 donation but was not as forceful as New York’s institutions. He said, “I’m not in favor of anything that makes people feel they won’t want to go because they feel like they will have to pay.”When entrance fees to national museums were decided not to be charged here in 2001, there was a 70 percent increase in visitor numbers in the first year. Political parties have since been unwilling to suggest change, despite concerns about cost. Hugo Swire, the former Shadow Culture Secretary, was dismissed in 2007 for suggesting that “museums and galleries should have the right to charge if they wish”.Some in the art community argue, however, that free entrance has done little to increase the breadth (广泛) of visitors and has caused shortfalls in the budget for the museums. In response to it, Colin Tweedy, chief executive of Arts & Business, said that Britain was “leading the world” in allowing its treasures to be freely available. He said, “To return to museum charging would be a return to the dark ages.”Ben Bradshaw, the Culture Secretary, said, “The mayor revealed his true intention when he suggested those who could afford it should be encouraged to contribute to the arts. I believe it is a disaster for the culture, arts and sport.” He thinks that free museums and galleries have once been one of this Government’s great successes.67. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that ______.A. museums in London are free by nowB. most museums in London have admission feesC. Metropolitan Museum of Art is not officially freeD. free entry is impossible to New York’s museums68. We can learn from Mark Jones’ words that ______.A. his museum shows a lack of moneyB. admission fees should be forcefulC. he is in favor of New York’s actionD. he has a consideration for the visitors69. According to the passage, the cancellation of entrance fees to national museums in 2001 _____.A. was changed in 2007 by Hugo SwireB. has been opposed by political partiesC. has no influence on the number of visitorsD. has caused financial problems to the museums70.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Charging entrance fees to museums.B. Decrease in the number of visitors.C. Ensuring visitor s’ benefits.D. Free access to museums.67-70 ADDA*******************************************************结束【阅读判断推理篇】词数：344 体裁：记叙文难度：3I remember my math teacher Mr. Young very well.

He looked at me, moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.“They sh ouldn’t do that to you because you can't help having a finger, Mr.Young.

weight at slimming classes in the new year…but it didn’t happen.Instead of losing the pounds.I put them on.I’d lost willpower and tried to b elieve that the old bage of fish and chips didn’t make any

the NBA if they go.Wang Zhizhi,the 2.16-metre center for the Bayi Rockets who was chosen by the Dallas Mavericks two years ago,has finally received permission from authorities to travel to Dallas to play for the rest of the NBA season after he finishes playing in the Chinese Basketball Association’s finals on March 25th.If he has no problems with his visa(签证),Wang will be the NBA’s first Asian player.Wang was chosen by the Mavericks in the second round of the 1999 draft but the Rockets,and army-run club,refused to let him go.After negotiations（谈判）between the Rockets and NBA representatives（代表）,the decision was made to allow Wang the chance to try his hand at American basketball,but only for a period of short time.He has to be back to play in the NinthNational Games in November in Guangzhou.Another center who has attracted attention from the NBA is Yao Ming,the 2.25-meter star who has led to the Shanghai Sharks into the finals fight with the Rockets this year.The 20-year-old’s NBA dreams might be harder to realize.Yao is the center of the Sharks and the club’s manager Bei Genyuan has said that he would allow Yao to go only at a proper time,for a proper team andunder proper conditions.Yao hasn’t been chosen yet and it is unlikely that he will be any time soon.People in the Shark’s front office earlier told members of the press that “it is not proper for Yao to atte nd the draft this year”because he has to represent Shanghai in the Ninth National Games.Even if Wang and Yao make it to the promised land of basketball at last,analysts on both sides of the Pacific have said the NBA road will be a long one for both of them.Besides needing to work on their upper body strength,Wang and Yao will also have to adapt（适应）to the speed,techniquesand above all,culture of the NBA.63.Yao Ming has attracted attention from NBA because .A.he is 2.25 metres tall,who is the tallest basketball player in ChinaB.he is the center of the Shanghai Sharks and has led Sharks into the final fight with the RocketsC.he is regarded as the best basketball player in ChinaD.he is thought highly of in the international world64.Yao Ming can play for NBA if .A.there is no problem with his visaB.NBA agrees to supply favorable conditions for himC.time and conditions are properD.NBA can pay a large sum of money for Sharks65.The underlined phrase“try his hand”in the passage probably means .A.初试身手B.碰碰运气C.成为一员D.为其效劳66.NBA chose Wang Zhizhi so that .A.it can show NBA need talentsB.Wang Zhizhi can have a bright futureC.its whole level will be improvedD.it can make Wang Zhizhi world-famous67.When Wang Zhizhi plays in NBA,he will have to adapt to many things of NBA except .A.rules of basketballB.the speedC.cultureD.techniquesDAntigua and Barbuda is the 32nd

put in his pocket book.At the loneliest part of the road a man in shabby,badly-fitting clothes stopped him and asked for a lift.Mr.Green told him to get into the car and continued on his way.As he talked to the man he learned that he had been in prison for robbery and had broken out of prison two days ago.Mr. Green was very worried at the thought of the ￡50 that he had put in his pocket book.Suddenly he saw a police-car and had a bright idea.He had just reached a small town where the speed limit was 30 miles an hour.He pressed down the accelerator and drove the car as fast as it would go.He looked back and saw that the police-car had seen him and had begun to chase him.After a mile or so the police-car overtook him and ordered hi m to stop.A policeman got out and came to Mr.Green’s car.Mr.Green had hoped that he could tell the policeman about the escaped robber,but the man had taken a gun out of his pocket and had put it to Mr.Green’s back.The policeman took out his notebook and pe ncil and said he wanted Mr.Green’s name and address.Mr.Green asked to be taken to the police station but the policeman said,“No,I want your name and address now.You will have to appear at the police court later.”So,Mr.Green gave the policeman his name and address.The policeman wrote it down,put his notebook and pencil back in his pocket and gave Mr.Green a talk about dangerous driving.Then Mr.Green started up his car again and drove on.He had given up all hope of his ￡50,but just as he reached the outskirts of London,the passenger said he wanted to get out here.Mr.Green stopped the car,the man got out and said,“Thanks for the lift.You’ve been good tome.This is the least I can do in return.”And he handed Mr.Green the policeman’s notebook.While the policeman had talked

阅读理解训练（12）AOnce there was a man who liked to eat mangoes(芒果). One day he decided to get the sweetest mango from the very top of the tree. Mangoes which are exposed to the sun the most are the sweetest.So he climbed up to the top, where the branches were thin. He managed to pick up a few sweet reddish fruits, but, in an attempt to climb down, he slipped and started falling towards the ground. Fortunately, he caught the branch as he was falling and remained helplessly hanging on the tree.Then he started to call nearby villagers for help. They immediately came with a ladder and sticks, but could do little to help him. Then after some time one calm and thoughtful person arrived - a well-known sage who lived in a simple hut nearby. People were very curious to see what he would do, as he was famous in solving many people’s problems in the area and sometimes very complicated ones. He was silent for a minute and then picked up a stone and threw it at the hanging man.That’s what everybody wanted - that he came down. But how? Now everybody was tense(紧张), as to what would happen next! Some wanted to punish the sage, but they didn’t. The sage picked another stone and threw it again at the man, even more forcefully.

However, the meaning of a smile in different cultures may be different. Depending on different cultures, smiling can express joy and amusement, but it can also indicate embarrassment. The following examples show this point of view:In an attempt to be open and friendly, people in the United States smile a lot. Every one smiles at each other, this nonverbal communication shows being friendly in the United States. However，in China, smiling is not only an expression of happiness, but also a way to avoid being embarrassed. Chinese people like smiling when they are embarrassed in order to avoid embarrassment. Smiling is a kind of good will but not sneer（嘲笑）. For example: When a child falls off from a bike, the adults in China may smile, which is a kind of gentle encouragement and may not be a kind of impolite laugh.When a person from the United States might blush（脸红）with embarrassment or become offensive, a Chinese might blush with smile. To avoid serious misunderstanding, people who engage in intercultural communication should be able to understand the meaningof smiling appropriately. Related to the smile is the laugh. Also, different cultures have different meanings about laugh. For example, Americans can enjoy a very heartfelt belly (腹部) laugh that comes from the deepest emotions. However, most Chinese seldom laugh that way because they are thought to be silly except among close friends.5.

Over the next six minutes, more than a dozen people walked by the girl, yet not one individual did anything to help her. The girl was then hit a second time by another van before an elderly trash collector came to her aid and brought the attention of the girl’s mother, according to the video and eyewitnesses.Doctors said that the girl, who was put on life support after being hospitali zed, remains in a deep coma. The girl’s parents, who are migrants living in the city, are now with her. Police said the drivers of both vehicles have been arrested. However, the indifference of the bystanders shown in the video has shocked the public, as Internet forums have boiled with anger, and people are questioning the morality of society.High moral standards were once triumphed as national pride in China where individuals known for selflessly helping others were adored by the public. But in recent years, the perception of a decline of morals has become a hot topic as profit and materialism are recognized to be affecting society’s values.On Sept. 2. an 88-year-old man in central China collapsed, his face striking the pavement. Yet, no one came to his aid, and he ended up choking to death on the blood from his nose. Some have linked the absence of good models to a previous case in which a man trying to help an elderly woman who fell was accused of harming her.A strong chorus of opinion on the Internet says laws should exempt（免除）models from responsibility, yet laws themselves cannot solve society’s morality dilemma. Cao Lin, a China Youth Daily commentator, said in a signed article published on Monday that the worry of responsibility should not be an excuse for not helping, and this case exposes the decline of humanity in Chinese society.9. What happened to the two-year-old girl?A. Nobody helped her after she was struck by two different vans.B. She died immediately after she was hit a second time.C. An old trash collector saved her and attracted her mother’s attention.D. Journalists from TVS captured her story by using a camera.10.

He/she would have to worry about legal responsibility.11 In recent years, society’s values are believed to be a ffected by________.A. people’s awarenessB. the indifference of bystandersC. profit and materialismD. the morals of society12. Where is the article probably taken from?A. A news report.B. A fashion magazine.C. A science fiction.D. An education column. 参考答案9—12CACADMost people are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he / she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.13. What is the hand for most people used to do?A. It’s used to fin d or hold things.B. It’s used to work with things.C. It’s used to make a person’s eyes work together.D. It’s the centre for thinking and doing problems.14. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.B. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.15. The best title for this passage is _______.A. Scientists’ New InventionsB. Left-handed PeopleC. Which HandD. Different Brains, Different Hands参考答案13—15ABC。

Much of north and central China, or one-seventh of the country, was covered in it over the weekend.Responses have included reduced industrial activities, a ban on fireworks and barbecues, raised pollution alerts and reduced vehicles travelling on the roads. Citizens are advised to stay indoors while schools have either stopped classes or suspended outdoor activities.And Chinese officials, after a long period of prioritizing economic development over environmental protection, are now likely to see their future career shaped by how effectively they handle the serious pollution.“Even as a foreigner, I know the pollution has a lot to do with too much focus on economic indicators（指标）inevaluating Chinese officials,” said Florian Kessler, an executive（执行的）director with German law firm WZR Consulting. The German executive speaks fluent Chinese, loves Beijing food and is a big fan of Beijing Guo’an Football Club, but after staying in the city for eight years, he now wants to leave. “Since I smoke, I’m okay with the pollution, but I can’t let my kid breathe in the polluted air. That’s why I’m leaving,” Kessler explained.China has repeated in the past that we would not follow the old path of industrialized nations to develop first and deal with pollution afterward. But the smog is an awkward reminder that our country is already on that path. Whether we can change route depends on the choice Chinese officials make between environment and growth in the years ahead.21.

It is even better when you write with your finger, feeling the flow of the cursive script（草写体）and the grace and art of Chinese characters, he says.“Smart gadgets（小装置）don’t take life from the square-shaped characters, instead they offer a new and advanced platform to show the charm of Chinese characters, which are always evolving,” Zhang says.26.
