The first day, I finished the ride with great 36 , though I tried hard to keep up with one guy for most the ways. To my 37 , I did a little better the second time.I decided to work harder to 38 . Yesterday, I 39 so much on my ride that I missed the short route (路线) I usually take; 40 , I stayed on the long route. I had never used this route, so I wasn’t really sure aboutwhich 41 I should take. Thankfully, a group of four riders 42 , and I just followed them.A few minutes later, one of the guys got a flat tire (爆了的轮胎), and, with the help of the others, he had it 43 in about a minute. We all waited there 44 he changed his tire. After we started riding again, I noticedsomething 45 . The guy at the front would ride 46 for a couple of minutes, then he would move over to the side, 47 his way to the end of the line, and the guy behind him would move into the lead position. The process (过程) would 48 every few minutes. This was a lot easier than riding alone, trying to 49 the first rider. This time I had a great time – and I think it is the 50 I’ve ever gone.This made me realize how important teamwork is, and the 51 of having a great team. The point is that you don’t have to be at your best 52 . You give it your all for a while, and then you let the guy 53 you do the same. The entire team improves because you don’t have to be the 54 all the time. You get your time to shine, and so does everyone else. You cannot get anywhere – or even make any worthwhile improvement – without a 55 . Who else will stop and help you to change your flat tire?【1】A.comfort B.carefulness C.difficulty D.bravery【2】A.delight B.disappointment C.surprise D.amazement【3】A.adjust B.improve C.approve D.increase【4】A.turned B.checked C.carried D.focused【5】A.therefore B.otherwise C.instead D.still【6】A.end B.direction C.route D.place【7】A.developed B.formed C.left D.appeared【8】A.used B.worked C.changed D.stopped【9】A.if B.since C.while D.before 【10】A.natural B.unusual C.simple D.regretful 【11】A.suddenly B.quickly C.immediately D.finally 【12】A.making B.leading C.getting D.keeping 【13】A.show B.pass C.continue D.repeat 【14】A.catch up with B.end up with C.put up with D.come up with 【15】A.longest B.highest C.biggest D.fastest 【16】A.plan B.aim C.value D.effort【17】A.at a time B.at the time C.for some time D.all the time 【18】A.before B.between C.behind D.above 【19】A.hero B.speaker C.junior D.organizer 【20】A.friend B.team C.practice D.rid三、阅读理解1.Perhaps every older generation since ancient times has complained about young people, and today is no different. Isn’t it obvious that kids these days are self-absorbed social network addicts?However, this summer, my impression of today’s kids has been re stored by the story of Rachel Beckwith. She could teach my generation a great deal about maturity (成熟) and unselfishness —even though she’s just 9 years old, or was when she died on July 23.At age 5, Rachel had her long hair cut off and sent to Locks of Love, which uses hair donations to make artificial hair for children who have lost their own hair because of cancer or other diseases. After that, Rachel announced that she would grow her hair long again and donate it again. And that’s what she did.Then when she was 8 years old, her church began raising money to build wells in Africa through an organization called “charity: water”. Rachel was astonished when she learned that other children had no clean water, so she skipped her ninth birthday party. Rachel set up a birthday page on the charity: water website with a target of $300. Instead of presents, she asked her friends to donate $9 each to charity: water. Finally Rachel raised only $220 — which had left her just a bit disappointed.Then, on July 20, a serious traffic accident left Rachel critically injured. Church members and friends, seeking some way of showing support, began donating on Rachel’s birthday page — /Rachel — and donations reached her $300 goal, and kept rising.When it was clear that Rachel would never regain consciousness, the family decided to remove the life-support machine. Her parents donated her hair for the final time to Locks of Love, and her organs to other children. Word spread about Rachel’s last fund-raiser (募捐行动). Contributions poured in, often they donated $9. The total donations soon topped $100,000, then $300,000.This is a story not just of one girl, but of a young generation of outstanding problem-solvers working creatively. 【1】Which of the following is TRUE of Rachel?A.She died at the age of 8.B.She was a cancer patient.C.She was a warm-hearted girl.D.She founded Locks of Love.【2】The underlined word “skipped” in Paragraph 4 probably means “”.A.put off B.gave up C.expected D.planned【3】According to the text, Rachel set up the birthday page to .A.make more new friendsB.call on people to donate hairC.ask her friends to send her giftsD.raise money to help African children【4】How does the author feel about the young generation now?A.Worried B.Critical.C.Appreciative.D.Doubtful【5】What would be the best title for the text?A.Rachel’s last fund-raiserB.Rachel and her birthday pageC.Kids are addicted to social networks.D.What’s wrong with the young generation?2.The other day, I received a most unexpected message in response to one of my essays: I am so proud of you and all you have accomplished. I shared your opinion …It was signed Margaret Leibfried, who was my English teacher — a teacher who appeared at a vital (关键) point in my life and helped me believe that I could become a writer.Thirty years ago, I entered high school as an introvert (性格内向的人) made all the more shy because I was the school’s only nonwhite student. I always felt in danger of being swept away by a sea of tall white athletes. I spent a lot of time alone, reading and writing stories, hoping to escape being teased.Ms. Leibfried taught American literature and composition grammar, which involved the usual memorizing vocabulary, but also, thrillingly, reading novels.Thrilling to me, that is. Many of my classmates expressed dislike for novels because they were “not real.” For once, I didn’t care what they thought. Ms. Leibfried seemed to notice my interest in both reading and writing, and she took the time to make me feel less shy; she even offered me reading suggestions, like one of her favorite novels, “The Bell Jar.”That year’s big project was a book report, to be read aloud to the class. However, Ms. Leibfried suggested I do something “a little different.” Instead of a report, I chose a passage from “The Bell Jar” that I considered as the best to recite.The morning of the presentations, I remember my hands sweating so badly as I walked to the front of the class that I kept my hands crossed, so I wouldn’t wipe them on my blouse.When I finished, to my surprise, the class applauded. “Marie has picked out a particularly sensitive piece of writing and delivered it beautifully,” Ms. Leibfried said, smiling. I felt, maybe for the first time, confident.【1】What was the author’s high school life like before she met Ms. Leibfried?A.Lonely.B.Exciting.C.Wild.D.Busy【2】In Paragraph 5, the author mainly tells us .A.how she cared what her classmates thoughtB.when she became interested in “The Bell Jar”C.why many of her classmates disliked novelsD.how Ms. Leibfried helped and encouraged her【3】Why did Ms. Leibfried ask the author to recite a passage in front of the class?A.To test whether she had a good memory.B.To make her earn the respect of her classmates.C.To help deepen her understanding of “The Bell Jar.”D.To guide her to build a good relationship with others.【4】How did the author feel when she made the presentation?A.Comfortable.B.sad.C.Nervous.D.Confident.【5】What was the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To express her thanks to her teacher.B.To discuss the issue of racial prejudice (偏见).C.To introduce one of her favorite books.D.To suggest the ways to gain confidence.3.A new reading tool was put on the market this week for the two-to five-year-old set. It is sold for at least $389, an expensive purchase for a kid –and that doesn’t even include a $99 annual subscription (订阅) fee for games, e-books, and age-appropriate software.That might be fine for parents willing and able to pay thousands for private nursery schools, but will the tool actually help kids learn language and reading skills more effectively than traditional books?Probably not, said Dr. Michael Rich, direc tor of the Center for Media and Child Health at Children’s Hospital Boston. “There is a sensory components (感官因素) to books that isn’t there with e-books,” he explained. “You can smell it, turn the pages, and taste it, as young kids are likely to do.”That might help little ones become more familiar with the books, helping them learn from them, but far more important is whether a person is actually sitting with them while they’re looking at the pages.Researchers have shown time and again that kids learn bet ter when they’re having interaction (互动) with real people, rather than electronic voices reading to them from a computer or speaking to them from the TV.A Georgetown University study found that kids who learned to put on gloves from watching a video took six times as long to learn the process as those who watched it shown by an adult standing in front of them.“I’m a big believer in teaching kids to live in the digital society and use what the rest of the family uses, but they do need to be supervised,” said Dr. Gwenn O’Keeffe, a Boston-based children’s doctor and spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics. “We don’t recommend that young kids use any type of technology for very long since they have the attention span (注意力持续时间) of a butterfly.”【1】According to the text, the new tool .A.is mainly used to entertain kidsB.can be accepted by most familiesC.is designed for preschool kidsD.can download games for free【2】Why is Dr. Michael Rich against the new tool?A.Because it doesn’t really involve many of the senses.B.Because it does great harm to kids’ eyesight.C.Because kids can’t communicate with it.D.Because traditional books are cheaper.【3】The study mentioned in Paragraph 6 aims to .A.show the disadvantage of kids’ watching videosB.prove the importance of interaction with peopleC.ask parents to teach their kids to learnD.prove using e-books saves much time【4】The underlined word “supervised” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “”.A.punished B.watched C.encouraged D.understood【5】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To introduce a new electronic device.B.To teach kids how to live in a digital world.C.To show parents how to help kids gain knowledge.D.To throw new light on kids’ use of electronic tools.4.Tony Burke, Australia’s environment minister, says he won’t decide until next year whether the koala should be protected as an endangered species. He was expected to make his decision by the end of October. But that decision has been put off. Burke said he needed more time to go over the latest information about the koala’s population.In September, an Australian Senate committee reported that ther e was no question the koala’s population is on the decrease. “But they may not yet be eligible (符合条件) for listing as a threatened species,” said Senator Doug Cameron. “To have such a significant Australian icon(偶像) included on the threatened species list would be a national shame.”The koala is found only in the eucalyptus (桉树) forests of Australia. And its population is reported to have fallen sharply for many reasons, including the cutting down of forests to make way for human beings’ development, their own illness, climate change and killings by other animals such as wild dogs. And every year many koalas are hit by cars as they are trying to cross the busy roads.Putting off the decision on protection for the koala “is really bad news,” said Debbie Pointi ng, the president of the Koala Action Group. “We’ve worked tirelessly for many years to gather data on the populations,” Pointing said. “That data should be enough to make a decision.”However, Burke pointed out that the Australian government had spent at least $6.3 million on koala conservation efforts since 1996. senators listed efforts that are already underway in Queensland – the construction of special koala bridges as well as fences along roads, to keep the animals out of harm’s way.Some people say t hat is not enough. “What we’re doing at the moment is likely to drive this species to extinction,” Queensland University zoologist Bill Ellis said.“Koalas are an iconic Australian animal,” Burke told Australians. “They hold a special place in the hearts o f Australians.”But it is a fact that if more isn’t done to protect the koala, they might soon hold a place only in Australians’ memories.【1】Tony Burke put off announcing the koala as an endangered species because .A.he needed more time to examine latest informationB.he doubted whether koalas’ number is decreasingC.he was thinking about ways to protect koalasD.he had more important issues to deal with【2】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A.The habitat of the koala.B.Australia’s traffic problems.C.The importance of koalas for Australians.D.Reasons for the decrease of the koala population.【3】According to the text, Debbie Pointing thinks that .A.the construction of special koala bridges is of little useB.the government should announce the koala as an endangered speciesC.the government is to blame for the decreasing koala populationD.koala are becoming less important in Australians’ hearts【4】It can be learned from the text that Tony Burke .A.decided to construct more fences along roadsB.called on Australians to take care of the koalaC.thought the government has done much for koalasD.was optimistic about the koalas’ future【5】What is the main idea of the text?A.Australia puts off the decision on whether the koala is endangered.B.Australia is taking special measures to protect koalas.C.The population of koalas is reducing rapidly.D.Australians are concerned about koalas.5.[1]Why is physical education important for students? There are many reasons. First of all, this subject helps them achieve the primary goal of physical education, which is physical fitness. As part of this, they can learn that it is highly important to include exercise and physical activities as part of their lifestyle.[2]Physical education helps children achieve a healthy lifestyle. Inside the classroom, teachers educate kids about highly relevant issues such as the importance of hygiene (卫生) and health. This subject will help them realize the importance of having strong bodies. Likewise, it will also teach them how to have a healthy and an active lifestyle.[3]Taking PE classes can help of students. Being confident is very important to them as they grow and become responsible as well as competitive adults someday. This aspect (方面) of physical education is extremely important in the character development of students. Furthermore, it will teach them how to have a positive attitude.[4]Physical education can teach students a set of all-important values. For example, it teaches students to fight like sportsmen and to cooperate with others to achieve one common goal as a team.[5]Physical education also helps students develop their motor skills. On this kind of program, they are placed in situations where they can further develop and improve their reflexes (反应), concentration and body posture. By taking this class, they can realize their full potential as individuals and as part of a team.[6]Moreover, physical education is also a means of enjoyment for students. By engaging in sports and physical activities, they can spend some pleasant time away from their other usual academic subjects. By doing so, they can achieve healthy minds and bodies.【1】What’s the text mainly about? (no more than 6 words)【2】What does the underlined word “it” (Line 3 paragraph 2) probably refer to? (no more than 3 words)【3】Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words. (no more than 4 words)【4】Based on the text, list two values that students can learn in PE classes. (no more than 6 words)【5】How can a student keep healthy physically and mentally? (no more than 9 words)四、书面表达3月21日是“世界睡眠日”。

I could tell that my parents had been talking about something in that half-playful, half-serious way I knew so well, he said, "How would you like to go to Eton?""You bet." I cried quickly catching the joke. Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous of schools. You had to be entered at birth, if not before. Besides, even at 12 or 13, I understood my father. He disliked any form of showing off. He always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of the middle class, our house was medium-sized; he had avoided joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club and went to a smaller one instead; though once he had got a second-hand Rolls-Royce at a remarkably low price, he felt embarrassed driving it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100.This could only be his delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to be dropped. Alas! I should also have remembered that he had a liking for being different from everyone else, if it did not conflict with his fear of drawing attention to himself.It seemed that he had happened to be talking to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice fellow, and Graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he was in that part of the world he thought he might just as well phone them. I remember my eyes stinging and my hands shaking with the puzzlement of my feelings. There was excitement, at the heart of great sadness."Oh, he doesn't want to go away," said my mother, "You shouldn't go on like this.” “It's up to him," said my father. "He can make up his own mind."【1】The writer's father sold his Roils-Royce because________.A.it was bought at a low price B.it frequently broke downC.it was a second-hand car D.it made him feel uneasy【2】The writer's father would enjoy being different unless _________.A.there was no danger of showing off B.it drew much attention to himC.it was understood as a joke D.it didn't bring him in arguments【3】The writer felt _______ about the idea of going to Eton.A.unhappy B.unbelievableC.delighted.D.complicated【4】Based on the passage we know that__________.A.It is not easy for children to get admitted by EtonB.Children can go to Eton if they would like toC.Children who can go to Eton are very famousD.Children can’t decide whether they will go to Eton3.If you and I met at a party, you would probably ask me what I do for a living, what town I live in — the kind of questions that would help you to build a picture of who I am. I might ask the same of you, but I probably wouldn't be listening. It's more likely I'd be looking at the label on your jeans, glancing at your shoes, and eyeing up your mobile phone. These are the things that really tell me who you are. In fact, I sincerely hope you would notice the same things about me. Well, that's the way it was a year ago.I began to behave like this at a very early age. I remember the first day of junior school, standing alone in the playground, desperately wanting to make friends. I headed straight for what seemed to be the most promising group of boys. They were talking to girls, trading football cards, eating green sweets — all the things I wanted to do. As I attempted to talk with them, one boy asked me, “Do you support Manchester United Football Club?” Another asked, “Are you into Michael Jackson?” I answered yes to them all, even though the truthful answer was no.Things seemed to be going well until one of the boys caught sight of my trainers. I'd never thought too much about them before. They were just plain blue sports shoes that Mum had bought, for playing in the back garden. At once, the group laughed very loudly, “Where did you get those from? A charitable organization?”Looking at the boys in bewilderment (疑惑), I noticed for the first time that they all had similar shapes on the sides of their trainers, like the ones on footballers' boots on television. It wasn't just their shoes: crocodiles, eagles and tigers sat on the breasts of their T-shirts, and every single boy seemed to have the same school bag, a blue plastic bag with a leaping puma in silver on the side. I walked away quietly, depressed. From that day on, I was determined to be like them, if not more so.【1】What was the author like one year ago?A.He was very interested in figure paintings.B.He used to judge others by their appearances.C.He was crazy about holding different parties.D.He had some difficulty communicating with others.【2】How did the author react when asked about his favorite football team?A.He replied proudly.B.He kept silent.C.He told a lie.D.He refused to answer.【3】Why did the group suddenly burst out laughing?A.Because they looked down upon the author.B.Because they were attracted by the author.C.Because they welcomed the author warmly.D.Because they played a joke on the author.【4】After the first day of junior school, the author began to _____.A.be addicted to television B.concern himself with animalsC.follow famous football players D.spend more money on branded goods4.Single-sex schools are better than mixed schoolsMessage 1 — posted by Jane, AmsterdamI think mixed-sex schools are the only way for children to learn, because it's natural. In higher education and their working life, they will be mixed so it makes sense for them to be mixed at school. School should reflect the real world.Message 2 — posted by Hans, GermanyMy reaction to this is very clear. For me, single-sex schools are much better, and the statistics show that they get better exam results, particularly at secondary level. Anything which helps children pass exams must be a good thing.Message 3 — posted by Bill, USABoys and girls learn in very different ways. I feel that they should be educated separately so teachers can focus on their different needs. The way I see it is that if you have a zoo, you don't put the lions in with the zebras! Message 4 — posted by Martin, LondonMy view on this is that it doesn't really matter. What is important is the curriculum (课程), and keeping students interested. I was a teacher and we had a lot of truancy (逃学) to deal with, and problems with students missing lessons because they found them boring. Never have a timetable with Maths as the first class on Monday morning!Message 5 — posted by Emily, SydneyI don't think there is any question that mixed schools are better. There is too much competition at single-sex schools, which often means that students don't make enough progress. I also think there is more bullying (欺凌) at single-sex schools, where children are picked on because of the increased competition. Single-sex schools lead to a “dog eat dog” situation.【1】What is Jane's attitude towards single-sex schools?A.Favorable.B.Negative.C.Objective.D.Unconcerned.【2】Both Hans and Bill hold that _____.A.teachers should meet students' different needsB.boys and girls should be taught separatelyC.schools should focus on students' exam resultsD.mixed schools are better than single-sex schools【3】Martin stresses the importance of _____.A.exciting students' interest in courses B.students' time awarenessC.training students to obey rules D.school management【4】Emily uses “dog eat dog” to show _____.A.her support for single-sex schoolsB.students' determined effort to succeedC.the fierce competition in single-sex schoolsD.the better education results in single-sex schools二、其他根据短文内容,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。

forecasters predict.“It’s got a little bit of everything,” William Babecock, a meteologist(气象学家)at the National Weather Service in Taunton, said of the post-Christmas storm that brought snowstorm conditions to the Ohio Valley before heading east with its mixed bag of snow, sleet, and rain.State Highway Administrator Frank De Paola said more than 4,000 states and snowplows(扫雪车)and salt spreaders were ready to make the roads safer for holiday travelers.“MassDOT will be fully staffed and will be ready to handle this,” De Paola said, nothing that the storm, which should bring snow to most of the state except the Cape and Island before turning into rain tomorrow, isMa ssachusetts’ first significant snow storm of this winter season.“There have been events where we have had pretty much freezing, icing concerns, which we have treated with chemicals.But this is the first big event that will call for plowing,” he said.A high wind watch has been issued for southeastern Massachusetts, including Cape Cod, Forecasters say the wind could reach 60 mph, possibly bringing down power lines.In Worcester, some were busy for severer by buying rock salt,shovels and windshield wash,Barrows Hardware president Brain Barrow said.He called the volume(总量)of customers at his Webster Street store very steady on Wednesday morning, “You do get that supermarket effect for sure,”he said of shoppers stocking supplies before a storm.There were no fl ight delays or cancellations at Logan International Airport in Boston as of day,” Right now, everything’s running normally.” airport spokesman Richard Walsh said.But Walsh said as the day progressed,travelers should contact their airlines directly to check the status of their flights.【1】According to William Babecock, we can know that_____.A.snow, sleet, and rain occurred after ChristmasB.nothing has been done to prepare for the winter stormC.400 snowplows were ready for the snowD.the snowstorm came from the Ohio snow【2】We can conclude from Paragraph 5 that_____.A.this winter season is filled with great significanceB.Massachusetts seldom sees snow all year roundC.here are some poisonous chemicals in the snowD.the icy roads have inconvenienced people【3】Some people bought supplies _______.A.became they got affected by the supermarketB.because they were wrongly directed to do thisC.because they were excited to be informedD.because they were preparing themselves for the snow【4】What does the author mainly want to say in the passage?A.People tend to fall into a panic when faced with had weatherB.The government shows concern for people’s living conditionsC.People from all walks of life have gotten ready for the snowD.Flights usually aren’t affected much by had weather4.What's more exciting than having a fresh hot pizza delivered to your door? How about having it brought to you by a robot? Thanks to Domino's Robotic Unit or DRU, that just became a reality! On March 8, the three-foot tall robot delivered its first pizza to some lucky residents in Brisbane, Australia.The fully autonomous DRU is the result of a cooperation between Domino’s Pizza Australia and Marath on Robotics.The 450-pound machine that travels at a maximum speed of 12.4 miles an hour can traverse a distance of up to 12 miles and back, before requiring a battery recharge. LIDAR, a laser-based sensor technology similar to the one used in self-driving cars, enables DRU to detect and avoid obstacles, while traditional sensors, much like those used in vacuum robots ensure its path is safe as it heads to its destination.The robot can fit up to ten pizzas and even has a separate cold area to accommodate drink orders.To access their fond, customers have to enter the unique code provided by the company.This is not only ensures that they pick up the right pizza, but also prevents the pies from getting stolen.Scientists expert additional DRU’s to be ready f or service in their various Queensland locations within the next six months.But don’t expect these super cute robots to replace humans anytime soon.According to Domino’s the DRU still needs extensive testing, which the company believes could take up to two years.And then there is also the issue of regulations.The public use of autonomous vehicles is still banned in most countries.But Don Meij, the CEO and Managing Director of Domino's Pizza Australia New Zealand Ltd, is not worried.He is “confident that on e day DRU will become an integral part of the Domino's family.”【1】What's the function of LIDAR?A.keeping DRU free of obstaclesB.Recharging DRU’s batteryC.Helping DRU find its destinationD.Protecting DRU from bad weather【2】What does the underlined word “accommodate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Heat B.HoldC.Sell D.Show.【3】Why does the company provide codes for its customers?A.To fit up more pizzasB.To prevent the pizza being taken by mistakeC.To keep the pizza warmD.To get the pizza paid in time【4】What can we infer about the future of DRU?A.It may need some improvements B.It will replace humans soon.C.It may be banned in Australia D.It will soon be applied worldwide二、其他根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Actually, I have a lot of these little annoyances—don't we all?And it isn’t always easy to find peace when you’ve become upset or irritated.Let me tell you a little secret to finding peace of mind: see the glass as already broken .See, the cause of our stress, anger and irritation is that things don't go the way we like, the way we expect them to. Think of how many times this has been true for you. And so the solution is simple:expect things to go wrong, expect things to be different than we hoped or planned,expect the unexpected to happen. And accept it.One quick example: on our recent trip to Japan, I told my kids to expect things to go wrong—they always do on a trip. I told them, “See it as part of the adventure.”And this worked like a charm. When we inevitably(不可避免地) took the wrong train on a foreign-language subway system, or when it rained on the day we went to Disney Sea, or when we took three trains and walked 10 blocks only to find the National Children's Castle closed on Mondays...they said, “It's part of the adventure!” And it was all OK—we didn't get too bothered.So when the nice glass you bought inevitably falls and breaks some day, you might get upset. But things will be different, if you see the glass as already broken, from the day you get it. You know it'll break some day, so from the beginning, see it as already broken. Be a time-traveler, or someone with time-traveling vision, and see the future of this glass, from this moment until it inevitably breaks. And when it breaks, you won't be upset or sad—because it was already broken, from the day you got it. And you’ll realize that every moment you have with it is precious.【1】The author’s children could enjoy their trip to Japan because________.A.everything went smoothlyB.they had a lot of adventuresC.they had expected things to go wrongD.they could soon get used to the customs there【2】The author would probably agree that________.A.we should control our anger and irritationB.we must get well prepared for the futureC.optimism can help us overcome our anger and irritationD.anger and irritation is a natural part of our life【3】The purpose of the author is to________.A.tell us his own experience in lifeB.advise us how to find peace of mindC.tell us a happy trip he took with his childrenD.ask us to see things from both sides【4】By the underlined part (in Para.3), the author tells us to________.A.get ready for the worst result of thingsB.enjoy the process of thingsC.expect little from lifeD.find the relationship between cause and effect【5】We can learn from the passage that the author________.A.often gets angry in his lifeB.can adjust his state of mind accordinglyC.always expects others to act in his wayD.always suffers from his anger and irritation2.With his game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer, Jeremy Lin (林书豪) finished the New York Knicks' dramatic reversed(扭转) victory to defeat the Toronto Rapters.The Knicks have won six games in a row, and Jeremy Lin has put up impressive numbers during the continuous period of competitions. Although the season is still young, the Knicks have reversed course in just one week from the NBA's most disappointing team to a playoff (季后赛) contestant. Lin, not team's high-paid stars, has saved the Knicks season and likely coach D'Antoni's job.After nearly 15 years of disappointing, sometimes unsuccessful seasons, Madison Square Garden is alive again, and New York City can't stop talking about the Knicks. To put things into perspective(角度), consider this: Just several years back, Knicks fans protested nightly outside of the Garden calling for the team's ownership to fire their resented coach Isiah Thomas.Now, Madison Square Garden Co. shares are at a record high, the Knicks' average household television rating is up 70 percent since Lin joined the starting lineup (首发阵容), and jersey sales are increasing very quickly. I watched the Knicks-Lakers game at a bar in Harlem, and have not felt that kind of energy from fans since the great playoff between the Knicks and Miami Heat in the late 1990s.Beyond the Knicks, Lin may be saving the NBA as well. Just a few months back, the NBA took a massive credibility(威信)hit during a multi-month lockout(停工), where the owners did not allow the players to go back to play until they accept the new salary levels. As a consequence, the season did not even begin until Christmas Day. Over the past few years, LeBron James' (勒布朗﹒詹姆斯) relatively long and unpleasant free-agent (自由职业球员) events, combined with poor play around the league, have angered fans and damaged the league's brand.Lin is leading a one-week NBA basketball revival. His legendary story has inspired Asian-Americans, increased NBA sales in China, and turned the basketball world upside down.【1】The passage is mainly about______A.why the New Yorkers thought well of Jeremy LinB.why Jeremy Lin became a member of the KnicksC.how the Knicks defeated its opponents in a great playoffD.how Jeremy Lin saved the Knicks, probably including the NBA【2】According to the passage, Jeremy Lin's excellent performance saved the following except___A.The NBAB.Coach Isiah ThomasC.The KnicksD.Madison Square Garden Co.’s shares【3】The underlined word “young” in Paragraph 2 probably means "______"A.not old yet.B.not completely grown.C.in the development D.in the early stage【4】The NBA suffered the credibility crisis months ago because____A.The NBA delayed the season because of players’ wage disagreementsB.the NBA was disappointed at James’ free-agent event.C.The NBA canceled the basketball match for the coming ChristmasD.James had a bad performance in the basketball court【5】Which one of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.These Knicks’ stars who were paid well saved the Knick s seasonB.The Knicks didn’t satisfy its fans for nearly 15 years until this seasonC.The fans objected to dismissing Coach Isiah Thomas outside the GardenD.The owners and the players didn’t agree on raising the TV ratings3.A young executive was traveling down a neighborhood street.He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something.As his car passed,no children appeared.Instead,a brick smashed into his door! He slammed on the brakes(make his car stop).The angry driver then jumped out of the car, caught the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car,shouting,“What was that all about and who are you?”The young boy was apologetic.“Please,Mister...Please,I’m sorry…I didn’t know what else to do.I threw the brick because no one else would stop…”With tears dripping down his face,the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car.“It’s my brother,”he said.“He fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up.”Now sobbing(crying silently),the boy asked the executive,“Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.’’Moved beyond words,the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat.He hurriedly lifted the boy back into the wheelchair,then took out his fancy handkerchief and dabbed(a light touch) at the fresh scrapes and cuts.A quick look told him everything was going to be okay.“Thank you and may God bless you.”the grateful child told the stranger.Shaken up for words,the man simply watched the little boy push his wheelchair—bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home.God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts.Sometimes when we don’t have time to listen,he has to throw a brick at us.Don’t go through life so fas t that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention! 【1】The executive slowed down because______. .A.he saw a boy throw a brick to his carB.he saw a boy rush out from between carsC.he was afraid some boys suddenly rushed outD.a brick smashed into his door【2】The boy threw the brick to the car in order to_________.A.disturb the driver on purposeB.destroy the car of the strangerC.ask someone to drive him homeD.stop someone to help him【3】Knowing the reason why the boy threw the brick at his car the executive must feel .A.sympathized and excitedB.regretful and sympathizedC.ashamed and regretfulD.angry and regretful【4】After the boy’s brother fell off his wheelchair, .A.the boy threw bricks at several carsB.the boy tried to stop several carsC.the boy’s brother was hurt seriouslyD.the boy’s brother wanted to stop a car【5】From the last paragraph we can learn that .A.you shouldn’t drive so fast that someone throws at youB.it is common to throw a brick at a car running too fastC.you can’t go through your life without a brick throwing at youD.you should pay more attention to others and help them4.With the Tesla Roadster and other plug-in (插入式) electric vehicles hitting the road,demand is growing for accessible refueling points to recharge(充电) them. Carbon Day Automotive, a Chicago-based company,has now demonstrated(演示)a solar-powered recharging point, known as the Solar Plug-In Station,which lets motorists easily charge their cars using electricity that has been produced without any environmental damage. The Solar PlugIn Station has gone on show in Chicago as part of the city’s bid(竞标)to host the 2016 Olympic Games. According to Carbon Day Automotive,the Solar Plug-In Station on show in Chicago is part of the vital infrastructure(基础设施) required for electric vehicles in Chicago and was the focus of a recent visit by the International Olympic Committee.These sola rpowered electricity points will be used daily to fuel the city’s electric vehicles with power from the sun. By producing the electricity from pollution-free solar cell, the CO2 emissions are reduced to zero.“Solar energy and electric vehicles are a part nership that is one more step to reducing our dependence on foreign oil,” says Richard Lowenthal, CEO of Coulomb Technologies.Coulomb Technologies recently developed the components (部件) required for individual recharging stations,marketed as ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations.Carbon Day Automotive is the Midwest distributor for the ChargePoint stations. The SolarPlug-In Station consists of giant solar panels (电池板) that shade the tiny ChargePoint Networked Charging Station.The solar panel is connected to an underground battery pack,ready for everyday refueling.“Without these stations it would be like driving around in a traditional car without the availability of gas stations,” says Scott Emalfarb,CEO at Carbon Day.“The day of true plugin electric veh icles will be here sooner than most people realize and the world needs to be ready to accommodate(为……提供场地)them.”【1】The Solar Plug-In Station is used as part of the bid to host the Olympics mainly because ________.A.it’s environmentally friendlyB.it makes up for the lack of electricityC.it’s a new idea and attracts people’s attentionD.it brings convenience to electric vehicle users【2】We can learn from the passage that ________.A.to recharge the electric vehicles takes a long timeB.the Solar Plug-In Station will come into use in 2016C.the Solar Plug-In Station has gone on show internationallyD.Chicago is promoting the use of electric vehicles【3】According to the passage,how many of the following statements are TRUE?a. Tesla Roadster is a kind of plug-in electric vehicle.b. The Solar Plug-In Station uses solar power to charge all of the cars.c. Chicago is a city,which is rich in oil.d. The Solar Plug-In Station consists of underground battery packs.e. Scott Emalfarb is optimistic about the future of plug-in electric vehicles.A.2.B.3.C.4.D.5.【4】The passage implies that when the Solar Plug-In Station becomes popular,________.A.more visitors will come to ChicagoB.the citizens of Chicago will be able to go to work fasterC.more space for electric vehicles will be neededD.the cost of electric vehicles will be lower than traditional cars【5】What would be the best title for the passage?A.Chicago Will Soon Be Full of Electric VehiclesB.Chicago Calls on People to Buy Electric VehiclesC.Chicago Fights for Its Bid to Host the 2016 OlympicsD.Chicago Shows Its Solar-powered Recharging Stations四、其他[1] At some point in your life you are bound to be required to give a speech. But are you capable of having the effect on an audience that you want to have? Here are some things to keep in mind.[2] You may think it's good to create an informal effect, or even that it' s cool to use filler words (填充词) such as “like” and “you know”. But in reality, these words add nothing, and create the danger of making you sound foolish and uninformed.[3] Pauses can be of significant help in adding depth to your speech, but only when they are used at the right moments. Pausing suddenly and with a panicked look will just make your audience uneasy. Also, a very long silence is the last thing you need. Make sure that your pauses are nicely placed if you want to sound like a speaker who has absolute control of what he is talking about.[4] You also need to be careful when you switch to a new idea during the course of a speech. Often speakers________transition words such as “well”, “so”, and so on, when they move on to new ideas. My advice, however, is to avoid such words and to try to think of a way of making a transition that is unique to the topic of your speech.[5] Finally, avoid “umming” and “ahhing” the way many people do when they give speeches. You want to sound co nfident and assured, and the way not to do so is to put an “urn” or an “ah” in the middle of every sentence.【1】What is the text mainly about?

The over-55s use their brains more efficiently (高效率地) than younger people, as they are much more likely to get rid of mistakes. Younger people, ________, give the impression of being sharper, simply by coming up with answers more quickly. But this may be a sign of inexperience rather than wisdom.[2] According to their experiment on sorting words into pairs, scientists found surprising differences between the brains of the older and younger participants when they made a mistake. To the younger ones, the mistake immediately activated(激活) several different parts of the brain to help them decide what to do next. The older people, however, didn’t start thinking about what they were going to do until the game restarted.[3] Dr Oury Monchi said, “When the young participants made a mistake and had to plan and take a new measure to get the right answer, various parts of their brains were used even before the next task began. However, when the older participants learned that they had a mistake, they decided to make adjustments(调整) only when completely necessary. The older brain had experience and knew that nothing was gained by taking action too soon.”[4] Dr Monchi compared the results to Aesop’s fable of the tortoise and the hare, saying, “Being able to run fast does not always win the race --you have to know how to best use your abilities.” This saying is a defining characteristic of ageing. It is as though the older brain is more unaffected to criticism and more confident than the young brain. Overall, the older group, who were aged between 55 and 75, took longer to complete the game but did roughly as well as those aged 18 to 35.【1】What’s the main idea of the passage?

Small talk means the little things we talk aboutat the start of a conversation. In English-speaking countries people often make small talk about the weather. “Nice day, isn’t it?” “Terrible weather, isn’t it?” But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion(宗教) or politics(政治) so these are not suitable topics for small talk. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place.

When she was young she took lessons in music and drawing, and read great books. She also traveled a great deal with her mother and father.As a child she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure. She enjoyed helping them.At last mind was made up. “I’m going to be a nurse,” she decided.“Nursing isn’t the right work for a lady,” her father told her.“Then I will make it so ”, she smiled. And she went to learn nur sing in Germany and France.When she returned to England, Florence started a nursing home . During the Crimean War in 1854 she went with a group of thirty eight nurses to the front hospitals. What they saw there was terrible. Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen — and smelled. The officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital, either. But the brave nurse went to work.Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicine and food for the men. Her only pay was in smiles from the lips of dying soldiers. But they were more than enough for this kind woman. After she returned to England, she was honored for her services by Queen Victoria. But Florence said that her work had just begun. She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London. She also wrote a book on public health, which was printed in several countries.Florence Nightingale died at the age of ninety, still trying to serve others through her work as a nurse. Indeed, it is because of her that we honor nurses today.【1】When she was a child, Florence ________.A.loved to travel very muchB.knew what her duty in life wasC.loved to help the sick peopleD.want to learn music and drawing in the future【2】What made Florence make up her mind to become a nurse?A.Her father’s support.B.Her desire to help the sick.C.Her education in Germany and France.D.Her knowledge from reading great books.【3】During the Crimean War in 1854, Florence served in the front hospital where ____.A.she earned a little moneyB.work was very difficultC.few soldiers died because of her workD.she didn’t have enough food or clothes【4】 Why was Florence honored by Queen Victoria?A.She built the Nightingale Home for Nurses.B.She wrote a book on public health.C.She worked as a nurse all her life.D.She did a great deal of work during the Crimean War.【5】The passage can best be described as ____.A.the life story of a famous womanB.a description of the nursing workC.an example of successful educationD.the history of nursing in England3.I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约)mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.So here’s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(空闲), it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.【1】The best title of this passage probably is _______.A.Love your friends B.Live a real lifeC.Don’t waste time D.Be a good mother and wife【2】How did the author form her view of life?A.By working and social experience.B.Learning from her friends.C.Through an unfortunate experience.D.Because of her children and husband.【3】The underlined sentence “It is so easy to exist instead of to live” in the fifth paragraph probably has the same meaning as ______.A.it is so easy to keep alive but not to live a real life.B.it is very hard to live a real lifeC.it is so easy to make a living.D.it is more difficult to exist than to live a happy life.【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards work?A.Try our best to serve others.B.To earn enough money to make life better.C.Try our best to get higher position and pay.D.Don’t let it affect your real life.【5】It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A.the author is a success in personal life.B.the author didn’t try her best to work well.C.the author spent all her time caring for her children.D.the author doesn’t travel much4.In recent years, there has been a steady attack on salt from the doctors: salt is bad for you—regardless of your health. Politicians also got aboard. “There is a direct relationship,” US Congressman Neal Smith said, “between the amount of sodium(钠) a person consumes and heart disease, circulatory(循环的) disorders, stroke and even early death.”Frightening, if true! But many doctors and medical researchers are now beginning to feel the salt scare has gone too far. “All these remarks and cry about salt is unnecessary,” Dr. Dustan insists. “For most of us it probably does not make much difference how much salt we eat.” Dustan’s most recent short-term study of 150 people showed that those with normal blood pressure experienced no change at all when placed on an extremely low-salt diet, or later when salt was reintroduced. Of the hypertensive(高血压的) patients, however, half of those on the low-salt diet did experience a drop in blood pressure, which returned to previous level when salt was reintroduced. “An adequate to somewhat excessive(过度的) salt intake has probably saved many more lives than it has cost in the general populati on,” said Dr. John H Laragh. “So an opinion that the whole population should avoid salt makes no sense.”Medical experts agree that everyone should practice reasonable “moderation”(节制) in salt consumption. For the average person, a moderate amount might run from four to ten grams a day, or roughly 1/2 to 1/3 teaspoons. One to two grams of salt would come from the natural sodium in food. The rest would be added in processing, preparation or at the table.“Na is not your enemy,” says Comek’s Dr. Laragh. “Salt is the No.1 natural component of all human tissue, and the idea that you do not need it is wrong. Unless your doctor has proven that you have a salt-related health problem, there is no reason to give it up.”【1】Why is salt attacked by doctors and politicians?A.It’s unnecessary.B.It does no good to human health.C.It is hated by most people.D.It will always lead to heart disease and circulatory disorders.【2】From Dr. Dustan’s study in Paragraph 2 we can infer that _____.A.a low-salt diet may be good to some patientsB.the amount of salt intake has nothing to do with one’s blood pressureC.the reduction of salt intake can completely cure a hypertensive patientD.an extremely low-salt diet makes no difference to anyone【3】In the 3rd paragraph, Dr. Laragh implied that _____.A.people should not be afraid of taking much excessive saltB.doctors should not advise people to avoid saltC.an adequate to somewhat excessive salt intake is suggested to ill peopleD.excessive salt intake has killed some patients in the general population【4】What is the experts’ advice for average people on salt consumption?A.They should increase salt intake through sodium pills.B.They should avoid salt as often as possible.C.They should consume 1/2 to 1/3 teaspoons of salt a day.D.They needn’t care about how much salt they consume.【5】What is the main idea of the passage?A.The salt scare is not reasonable.B.The cause of hypertension is disclosed.C.The moderate use of salt is recommended.D.Salt consumption is to be avoided.四、书面表达书面表达(满分25分)进入高中以后,同学们的学习任务加重,对于参加课外活动,同学们有着两种不同的看法。

江西高二高中英语月考试卷带答案解析

江西高二高中英语月考试卷班级:___________ 姓名:___________ 分数:___________一、阅读理解1.A new study says electronic toys are not helping babies learn."Even if companies are marketing them as educational, they're not teaching the babies anything at this time," said Anna Sosa the study's author.Researchers listened to audio(声音的)recordings of parents playing with their babies aged 10 months to 16 months. The researchers compared the experiences when the children played with electronic toys, traditional toys such as blocks,or when the children looked at books. What they found is that parents talked less with their babies when the babies played with electronic toys.Why is this important? Research shows that how quickly children develop language is often based on what they hear from parents. When the infants played with electronic toys, parents said little to their children. But with traditional toys, such as blocks, parents shared the names anddescriptionsof the animals, colors and shapes as their children played. There was even more information given by parents as their babies looked at the pictures in books.Of course, there is no need for parents to throw out electronic toys, but they should look at their infants’ play with such toys as entertainment, not a learning experience.Toy Industry Association spokeswoman Adrienne Appell responded to the study. She said it is important that parents make time to play with their children. "Playing is a way that kids can learn so much, not onlycognitive(认知的)skills, but social and developmental skills," she said. She added that play should be balanced, including time for just "make believe"activities, as well as traditional and electronic toys.【1】What’s Anna Sosa’s attitude towards companies claiming that their toys are educational?A.supportive B.indifferent C.uninterested D.doubtful【2】We can learn from the text that babies in the research ________.A.liked traditional toys better than electronic toysB.interact less with their parents when playing with electronic toysC.talked little with their parents when playing with electronic toysD.listened to audio recordings of their parents【3】Children develop language more quickly when their parents ________.A.read them picture books often B.teach them how to speakC.buy them a lot of toys D.throw away their electronic toys【4】According to Adrienne Appell, playing ________.A.can’t take the place of learningB.shouldn’t take most of children’s timeC.is good to children’s overall developmentD.can’t develop children’s cognitiveskills2.Do you believe that things are connected for no scientific reason at all? For example, do you avoid saying the word “four” to avoid bad luck? If so, you have a superstition (迷信). And you’re not alone — all kinds of people have them.For example, Portugal’s soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo always steps onto the pitch (球场) with his right foot first, according to The Telegraph. And sports players are not alone in having superstitions. A visitor once asked the Nobel Prize winning scientist Niels Bohr whether he really believed that the horseshoe he’d hung at his country home was lucky. “Of course not,” the Danish physicist said.“But I understand it’s lucky whether you believe in it or not.”One recent study found that even scientists at MIT and other top US schools tended to look for a meaning in natural events, similar to the connection between stepping on the pitch and playing soccer well, according to The Atlantic. When the researchers gave the scientists little time to answer questions, they were twice as likely to agree with statements such as “Trees produce oxygen so that animals can breathe” as they were when they had more time to think about their reply.It seems that fear can make people think differently in this way, too. In a British study, students imagined meeting a “witch” who said she would cast (施魔法) an evil spell(符咒) on them. About half said a scientist should not be worried about the spell. Yet each of them said that, personally, they wouldn’t let the witch do it to them.So why are so many of us superstitious? Well, it seems to be our way of dealing with the unknown. “Many people quite simply just want to believe,” Brian Cronk, a professor of psychology at Missouri Western State University, said in a 2008 interview. “The human brain is always trying to work out why things happen, and when the reason is not clear, we tend to make up some pretty bizarre (古怪的) explan ations.”And these explanations aren’t completely unhelpful. In fact, superstitions can sometimes work and bring real luck, according to psychologists at the University of Cologne in Germany in the May 2010 issue of the journal Psychological Science. They found that believing in something can improve performance on a task like an exam. So, what about you? What superstitions do you follow to keep you safe and successful?【1】The author mentions avoiding saying the word "four" in the opening paragraph to ________.A.show how foolish it is to believe in superstitionsB.introduce the readers to the topic of superstitionsC.discuss the scientific reasons behind superstitionsD.prove that it is reasonable to be superstitious【2】How many superstitious practices are mentioned in the passage?A.3B.2C.4D.5【3】What’s the author’s attitude to superstitions?A.Unknown.B.Positive.C.Negative.D.Neutral.【4】What is the best title of the article?A.Why superstitions are commonB.How superstitions affect our daily livesC.How some common superstitions came into beingD.How to get rid of superstitions3.This could be the perfect gift for the partner, who embarrasses you on the dance floor. Smart socks, which can teach to dance, may be the answer for anyone with two left feet.The socks have been developed as a running tool to help runners improve their skills. Thanks to the socks, users can accurately record not only how far and fast they run but also how well. It means the user maximizes their performance, and reduces damage to body and prevents hurt. The hi-tech socks are made of special fibers that watch the movements of your feet. They look, feel and can be washed like normal clothes.Sensors (传感器) record each movement and send it by an ankle transmitter (脚踝发射器) to a smart phone. Then a “virtual coach” application shows the information and can tell the user what they are doing wrong, and help to improve skill in any task with feet.The socks should be useful to athletes and weekend joggers. “People think running is so easy and of course everybody can do it but not necessarily safely and well,” Dr Davide Vigano said. A recent study showed that between 60 and 80 percent of runners got hurt per year. This is pretty much more than any other human activity. Researchers say the technology can also be developed to teach people how to dance, play sports such golf, or even to help to teach women to walk better in high heels.Mr. Vigano said, “People could all benefit from the idea. We have had interest from all sorts of sports, like skiing, football, cycling and golf. Anything where you have to use your feet can use it. It could even be put in high heels to help women walk in them safely.”Socks are just the start, and the technology could be used in gloves, hats and boots. The socks, anklet and software package, are expected to be sold for around £120, which will go on sale in March.【1】What does the underlined part “anyone with two left feet” refer to?A.People who are disabled.B.People who are interested in dancing. C.People who invented the socks.D.People who are not good at dancing.【2】What’s special about fibers that the socks are made of?A.They feel much softer than normal clothes.B.They can monitor the movement of feet.C.They are expensive to produce.D.They act as a smart phone for users.【3】Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the socks?A.They can improve the skill of running.B.They can help women walk better in high heels.C.They can teach people to dance well.D.They can be worn for days without washing.【4】According to Dr Vigano, _________.A.everyone can make good use of the smart socksB.users can run as fast as they like with the socksC.60 to 80 percent of runners would like to buy the smart socksD.no runners will get hurt, thanks to the socks4.Researchers in the psychology department at the University of California at Los Angeles(UCLA)have discovered a major difference in the way men and women respond to stress. This difference may explain why men are more likely to suffer from stress-related disorders.Until now, psychological research has maintained that both men and women have the same“fight-or-flight”reaction to stress. In other words, individuals either react with aggressive behavior, such as verbal or physical conflict(“fight”),or they react by withdrawing from the stressful situation(“flight”).However, the UCLA research team found that men and women have quite different biological and behavioral responses to stress. While men often react to stress in the fight-or-flight response, women often have another kind of reaction which could be called“tend and befriend.”That is, they often react to stressful conditions by protecting and nurturing their young(“tend”),and by looking for social contact and support from others—especially other females (“befriend”).Scientists have long known that in the fight-or-flight reaction to stress, an important role is played by certain hormones(激素)released by the body. The UCLA research team suggests that the female tend-or-befriend response is also based on a hormone. This hormone, called oxytocin, has been studied in the context of childbirth, but now it is being studied for its role in the response of both men and women to stress. The principal investigator, Dr.Shelley E.Taylor, explained that“animals and peop le with high levels of oxytocin are calmer, more relaxed, more social, and less anxious.”While men also secrete(分泌)oxytocin, its effects are reduced by male hormones.In terms of everyday behavior, the UCLA study found that women are far more likely than men to seek social contact when they are feeling stressed. They may phone relatives or friends, or ask directions if they are lost. The study also showed how fathers and mothers responded differently when they came home to their family after a stressful day at work. The typical father wanted to be left alone to enjoy some peace and quiet. For a typical mother, coping with a bad day at work meant focusing her attention on her children and their needs.The differences in responding to stress may explain the fact that women have lower frequency of stress-related disorders such as high blood pressure or aggressive behavior. The tend-and-befriend regulatory(调节的)system may protect women against stress, and this may explain why women on average live longer than men.【1】Which of the following is true about oxytocin according to the passage?A.Men have the same level of oxytocin as women do.B.Oxytocin used to be studied in both men and women.C.Both animals and people have high levels of oxytocin.D.Oxytocin has more of an effect on women than on men.【2】What can be learned from the passage?A.Male hormones help build up the body’s resistances to stress.B.In a family a mother cares more about children than a father does.C.Biological differences lead to different behavioral responses to stress.D.The UCLA study was designed to confirm previous research findings.【3】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.How men and women suffer from stressB.How men and women get over stressC.How researchers overcome stress problemsD.How researchers handle stress-related disorder二、其他根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Today, everyone at the university knows her as the “Squirrel Girl”.Mary started bringing them food, and gradually they began to trust her. She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture. Thinking that her colleagues could do with something to lift up their spirits, she started posting similar photos on Facebook. The response was greatly positive, and before long Mary and her squirrels became an Internet sensation.Growing up in a neighborhood outside State College, Mary was always fond of birds and animals around her home, but she didn’t interact with (交流) people very much. She was later diagnosed with Asperser’s syndrome, but the squirrels changed that. “The squirrels are actually a good way to break the ice, because I’ll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and we’ll just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them,” she said.”Iam a lot more outgoing.”And in case you’re wondering how Mary is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos, it has a lot to do with food. For example, whenever she wants them to hold or play with something, she puts peanut butter on the prop (道具), and they’ll grab it. But getting to that part took a while. In the beginning, she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them, but they hesitated to approach her. She had the patience to earn their trust, though.This year, Mary is graduating with a degree in English and wildlife sciences. She wants to be a science writer and educate people on how to preserve the environment. As for her furry friends, Mary plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can.24.

The species is native to tropical and temperate waters around the globe, and resembles a giant fish head with a tail. Rather than having a tail fin, like most fish, the Mola mola’s main body is flattened. In fact, its height is often equal to its length, which is unusual in fish. It can grow to 10-20 feet in length and height and weigh in at an average of 2,000 pounds.Its specific name, mola, is Latin for “millstone”, which the fish resembles because of its grey colour, rough texture (肌理), and rounded body. Its common English name, sunfish, refers to the animal’s habit of sunbathing at the surface of the water. The Dutch-, Portuguese-, French-,Catalan-, Spanish-, Italian-, Russian-, and German-language names mean “moon fish”, in reference to its rounded shape. In Polish it is named Samoglow, meaning “head alone”, because it has no true tail. The Chinese translation of its academic name is fan-che-yu.Its diet is extremely varied but nutrient-poor, consisting mainly of jellyfish. In order to consume enough daily nutrients, it must travel through a wide range of oceanic depths in search of its food. It has a beaked(喙状嘴的) mouth that does not totally close, so it chews its food in several stages.Its thick skin is covered in a dense layer of mucus (粘液), which is host to many kinds of parasites(寄生虫). To try and rid itself of these uninvited guests, it will often float on its side near the surface of the water, inviting birds to feast on the parasites. Similarly, it will sometimes launch its considerable body up to ten feet out of the water before crashing back down in an effort to remove some of the parasites. With its habit of floating near the surface, it often runs the risk of being hit by boats. Finally, smaller Mola molas are sometimes subject to attack by sea lions.28.

His older sister Patti was off at boarding school, leaving him and his mother, Nancy, alone with the man who was to become one of the most popular politicians of all time.So, what insight would his son give us about the man many still find a mystery? He admitted early on that he was haunted(缠绕)by the inevitable question: “What are you going to tell me about him that I don’t already know?”The younger Reagan covered a lot of familiar aspects. He admitted, for instance, the well-known fact that his father could be distant and inattentive. “He was often wandering s omewhere in his own head,”he wrote.“...A paradoxical(自相矛盾的)character, my father: He was warm yet remote.”Reagan made it clear that his memoir was not political. He said it was only his attempt to understand the father with whom he grew up, a public figure and, most importantly, a human being in all his stubborn mystery.While this book is certainly not the end-all of who Ronald Reagan was, it adds many personal pieces to the Reagan puzzle.The son decided to go back to the beginning, from ancestral Irelan d to his father’s childhood in small Midwestern towns, where he discovered that the energetic and optimistic young lifeguard was much the same person who was to become his father, and then president.He cleverly jumped back and forth from his father’s life to his own, but one hungers for more stories about the young Reagan family of California, for more first-person accounts from the son who was there, like the story of his father never letting young Ron win a race in the pool.32.In Ron Reagan’s eyes, his fat her was________.A.kind but distantB. cold and impatientC. energetic but pessimisticD. hardworking and devoted33.What can we say about the book My Father at 100?A.It doesn’t relate to familiar stories of Ronald Reagan.B. It was written out of political reasons.。
