Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.(A)LATEST BOOKSBelow you’ll find some latest published books that have been added to the library’s collection in the past 45 days.She Is Not InvisibleSergwick’s ―She Is Not Invisible‖ is partly a thriller, partly a philosophical reflection on coincidence, but mostly, it’s the story of Laureth: a blind British teenager whose father, a famous author, has gone missing in America. She sets out to find him, taking her seven-year-old brother as a guide. She is not sure this is strictly legal, so she pretends not to be blind as they make their way through Heathrow airport and the streets of New York City.Six Bad Poets―Six Bad Poets‖ is a farce-in-verse(闹剧式诗句) by Christopher Reid, following the brave acts and misfortunes of a group of poets –three men and three women, whose destinies(命运) are more closely connected than they themselves can know, in their attempts to deal with the risks of London literary society.Britain Against NapoleonThis book describes how the British state successfully organized itself to overcome Napoleon. For more than twenty years after 1793, the French army was supreme(最优的) in continental Europe, and the British population lived in fear of French invasion(人侵). How did Britain survive and win a generation-long war against a country which at its peak commanded many times Britain’s own resources and manpower?In ―Britain Against Napoleon‖, Roger Knight looks beyond the familiar bravery of the army and navy to the politicians and civil servants, and examines how they made it possible to continue the war.The Beau MondeHannah Greig’s ―The Beau Monde‖ tells the story of the world’s first fashion-obsessed(痴迷于时尚的) society in eighteenth-century London and takes us on a tour from court and Parliament (约会) to Georgian Lo ndon’s parks, pleasure grounds and private homes, meeting a rich and colorful cast of contemporary characters along the way. It reveals the secrets of how membership of the new elite(精英) was won, maintained and sometimes lost. This book also shows how being fashionable was the key to power in a new social order.56. According to the passage, Laureth______A. is a famous writerB. is a blind young girlC. has been lost in New YorkD. has raised her little brother by herself57. Who writes a book about six poets?A. Christopher Reid.B. Hannah Greig.C. Roger Knight.D. Sedgwick.58. The book ―Britain Against Napoleon‖ focuses on_______A. how the British defeated NapoleonB. how Napoleon occupied the UKC. the contribution of politiciansD. the influence of war59. If you are interested in the history of fashion, you should read______.A. ―She Is Not Invisible‖B. ―Six Bad Poets‖C ―Britain Against Napoleon‖ D. ―The Beau Monde‖60. The main purpose of passage is to______.A. compare the booksB. inform readers of new booksC. advocate diverse readingD. persuade people to read more(B)When my friend put out the idea of homeschooling to her parents, the first reaction they gave was, ―You are cutting the child off the world.‖ Did the child really get cut off or did the child socialize better?The moment we hear of homeschooling, we think the child will have no opportunities to interact with peers(同龄人). However, in my friend’s opinion, we forget that when attending a regular school, the child is not into socializing all the while. The child is restricted to so many other activities. Studies take a major role in a child’s life. The child h ardly has the time to interact at school.The child might be meeting and studying along with many peers; however, how many kids interact with all the kids in a class? But in homeschooling system, as my friend mentioned, the kid has all the time and can plan his day accordingly. During the day the child studies just like other school-going kids but with no burden of homework and project work, the child has so much free time in the evening as to effectively interact and play with peers. The quality time the child spends in education is really impressive.Homeschooled kids have the opportunity to socialize more often as they have a lot of time in their hands. They can also make socializing a regular habit. Just as my friend said, her child goes to a neighboring park almost every day and has a set of friends who go there daily. Other children get back home to finish off homework and project work whereas her child who is already through with studies gets the opportunity to spend time with family members.When I heard this, I really felt how lucky the child was. Definitely the child had a better opportunity to socialize when compares with my kids. However, I might not considerhomeschooling for my kid, as I am so used to the traditional schooling system and feel regular schooling the safest bet.61. What is the author’s attitude towards his friend’s idea of homeschooling?A. Surprised.B. Interested.C. Confident.D. Negative.62. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to _________.A. express his views on homeschooling.B. explain what homeschooling is.C. share his ways of teaching his children.D. promote homeschooling.63. What do we know about homeschooling children?A. They don’t interact with their peers often.B. They have more spare time to play.C. They are restricted to certain activities.D. They can’t gain enough knowledge.64. According to the author what is the biggest advantage of homeschooling children?A. They will become braver.B. They can be more popular.C. They can be better at socializing.D. They can study better.65. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By following the order of importance.B. By following the order of timeC. By making comparison.D. By presenting facts.(C)Feeling lonely? New research suggests you might want to find out that answer. Not only is loneliness an unpleasant condition, it can also harm the body’s immune system.The new study shows that people who are lonely experience more reactivation(重新激活) of hidden viruses in their systems than the well-connected ones. Lonely people also are more likely than others to produce inflammatory compounds(炎性化合物) in response to stress, which may cause heart disease and other chronic disorders. ―Both, in different ways, indicate that the immune system is out of whack,‖ said study researcher Lisa Jaremka.Jaremka and her colleagues studied 200 female breast cancer survivors and 134 overweight, middle-aged adults with no major health problems.In the first study, the researchers analyzed the blood of the breast cancer survivors for antibodies against viruses. These common viruses can remain inactive and symptomless inside the body. Higher antibody levels indicate higher levels of activated viruses. The results showed that the lonelier the participant, the higher the levels of virus antibodies in the blood. Jaremka said, ―The immune system is unable at that time, for whatever reason, in this case loneliness perhaps, to keep that virus under control.In the second study, the researchers measured cytokines(炎性因子) in 144 of the breast cancer survivors as well as the healthy thought overweight middle-aged adults. The participantsgave a blood sample and then experienced the stress of having to give a speech and do mental math in front of people in white lab coats.After the stressful speech, the lonelier the person is, the higher the levels of cytokine interleuking-6 are. This cytokine is important for healing in the short term, because it promotes inflammation. However, when cytokines react too readily, inflammation can be harmful. Chronic inflammation has been linked to many diseases.People who are lonely also tend to react more strongly to negative events in their lives. If lonely people experience daily life as more stressful, it may cause chronic stress, which in turn disrupts the immune system.The study indicates that those who feel close to friends and family can know that their health is likely getting benefits from those relationships. People who feel socially connected are experiencing positive outcomes.66. The Underlined phrases ―is out of whack‖ in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by_____.A. becomes healthyB. goes wrongC. starts to respondD. lose connection67. What do the high levels of antibodies indicate?A. The immune system is failing to control the viruses.B. The immune system has managed to kill the viruses.C. The person has been badly ill.D. The immune system has been damaged.68. Why should frequent reaction of cytokines be avoided?A. Because it would make people more stressed.B. Because it can destroy the immune system completely.C. Because it may cause harmful chronic inflammation.D. Because it would make breast cancer survivors overweight.69. According to the passage, lonely people are more likely to _____.A. have had more negative experiencesB. become more sensitive to negative events.C. feel more pressure from chronic diseases.D. react strongly to positive daily life.70. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Loneliness has its advantages and disadvantages.B. Lonely people tend to have negative thoughts.C. Loneliness does harm to health both mentally and physically.D. People whose immune system is weak tend to get lonely.PART ⅣWRITING (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blankets by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Most people with problems see their problem as limitations to their success. The moment you begin to see your problems as stumbling blocks (绊脚石), you start to have more problems. But the way you see your problems determines how they affect you. If you see your problems as the walls that cannot be broken down, then problems will affect you more than they are supposed to. But if you see your problems as opportunities, then you will be able to solve them and get the message that the problems are passing across to you.The greatest men always remain calm when they face problems. When they face problems, they remain positive. Staying positive is one of the keys to solving your problems. When used well it could help get you out of difficulty. When you remain positive, you put yourself in the right position to solve your problems effectively.Problems act as a good teacher and give you something new to learn, and with every lesson comes a solution. You must learn from the problem itself and look for the way forward instead of complaining, worrying and giving excuses. Every problem is just like an examination. Once you solve the problem, you get to the next level.Not everybody is fit to share your problems with you, and not everybody is fit to know your problems. But you should have someone you can speak to and someone who is always willing to listen to you. You must be able to be accountable to this person and the person must be someone that is better and know much more than you. This person would be able to give you meaningful advice, monitor your progress and also support you.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Nong Luhuan had a wild dream when he was little: He wanted to become a cartoonist and publish books of his own. Now, the 22-year-old art design major at Sichuan Fine Art Institute has achieved his dream. His micro blog cartoon has more than 260,000 followers and he will publishhis first book soon.Nong’s micro blog cartoon first drew wide attention in late 2012. He draws stor ies of real-life people striving to (努力) achieve their life goals. Though each story consists of only several pictures, it takes Nong a lot of time and effort to finish them. ― I want my work to be recognizable.I want people to think of me as a cartoonist who makes cheerful works,‖ Nong says. Therefore he digs deep into each person’s story. Before drawing, he spends a whole day researching the person’s background and another three days on interviews. ―Micro blog cartoons are interesting not because of the drawings. We attract viewers with the content,‖ Nong says. ―Besides, viewers only spend one or two minutes on each micro blog post. If my work can cause reflection, then it is meaningful.‖On the way to success, Nong had his struggles. He even thought about giving up drawing in 2011. But when he read the micro blog cartoons of Chen Anni, a well-known female cartoonist of Nong’s age, he found new courage. ―She is not even a fine art student and she is pursuing (追求) her dream of drawing cartoons. Why should I give up?‖ Nong says. After that, Nong worked even harder, gradually becoming popular and receiving positive feedback.Many fans have sent Nong private messages, telling him that his work has encouraged them to pursue their life goals and that if they succ eed they will share their stories with him. ―I’m glad that I have conveyed a positive attitude through my work. My readers are motivated through it and are themselves becoming a source of motivation for others,‖ he says.81.What does Nong draw in his micro blog cartoons?

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.(A)LATEST BOOKSBelow you’ll find some latest published books that have been added to the library’s collection in the past 45 days.She Is Not InvisibleSergwick’s “She Is Not Invisible” is partly a thriller, partly a philosophical reflection on coincidence, but mostly, it’s the story of Laureth: a blind British teenager w hose father, a famous author, has gone missing in America. She sets out to find him, taking her seven-year-old brother as a guide. She is not sure this is strictly legal, so she pretends not to be blind as they make their way through Heathrow airport and the streets of New York City.Six Bad Poets“Six Bad Poets” is a farce-in-verse(闹剧式诗句) by Christopher Reid, following the brave acts and misfortunes of a group of poets –three men and three women, whose destinies(命运) are more closely connected than they themselves can know, in their attempts to deal with the risks of London literary society.Britain Against NapoleonThis book describes how the British state successfully organized itself to overcome Napoleon. For more than twenty years after 1793, the French army was supreme(最优的) in continental Europe, and the British population lived in fear of French invasion(人侵). How did Britain survive and win a generation-long war against a country which at its peak commanded many times Britain’s own resources and manpower?In “Britain Against Napoleon”, Roger K night looks beyond the familiar bravery of the army and navy to the politicians and civil servants, and examines how they made it possible to continue the war.The Beau MondeHannah Greig’s “The Beau Monde” tells the story of the world’s first fashion-obsessed(痴迷于时尚的) society in eighteenth-century London and takes us on a tour from court and Parliament (约会) to Georgian London’s parks, pleasure grounds and private homes, meeting a rich and colorful cast of contemporary characters along the way. It reveals the secrets of how membership of the new elite(精英) was won, maintained and sometimes lost. This book also shows how being fashionable was the key to power in a new social order.56. According to the passage, Laureth______A. is a famous writerB. is a blind young girlC. has been lost in New YorkD. has raised her little brother by herself57. Who writes a book about six poets?A. Christopher Reid.B. Hannah Greig.C. Roger Knight.D. Sedgwick.58. The book “Britain Against Napoleon” focuses on_______A. how the British defeated NapoleonB. how Napoleon occupied the UKC. the contribution of politiciansD. the influence of war59. If you are interested in the history of fashion, you should read______.A. “She Is Not Invisible”B. “Six Bad Poets”C “Britain Against Napoleon” D. “The Beau Monde”60. The main purpose of passage is to______.A. compare the booksB. inform readers of new booksC. advocate diverse readingD. persuade people to read more(B)When my friend put out the idea of homeschooling to her parents, the first reaction they gave was, “You are cutting the child off the world.” Did the child really get cut off or did the ch ild socialize better?The moment we hear of homeschooling, we think the child will have no opportunities to interact with peers(同龄人). However, in my friend’s opinion, we forget that when attending a regular school, the child is not into socializing all the while. The child is restricted to so many other activities. Studies take a major role in a child’s life. The child hardly has the time to interact at school.The child might be meeting and studying along with many peers; however, how many kids interact with all the kids in a class? But in homeschooling system, as my friend mentioned, the kid has all the time and can plan his day accordingly. During the day the child studies just like other school-going kids but with no burden of homework and project work, the child has so much free time in the evening as to effectively interact and play with peers. The quality time the child spends in education is really impressive.Homeschooled kids have the opportunity to socialize more often as they have a lot of time in their hands. They can also make socializing a regular habit. Just as my friend said, her child goes to a neighboring park almost every day and has a set of friends who go there daily. Other children get back home to finish off homework and project work whereas her child who is already through with studies gets the opportunity to spend time with family members.When I heard this, I really felt how lucky the child was. Definitely the child had a better opportunity to socialize when compares with my kids. However, I might not consider homeschooling for my kid, as I am so used to the traditional schooling system and feel regularschooling the safest bet.61. What is the author’s attitude towards his friend’s idea of homeschooling?A. Surprised.B. Interested.C. Confident.D. Negative.62. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to _________.A. express his views on homeschooling.B. explain what homeschooling is.C. share his ways of teaching his children.D. promote homeschooling.63. What do we know about homeschooling children?A. They don’t interact with their peers often.B. They have more spare time to play.C. They are restricted to certain activities.D. They can’t gain enough knowledge.64. According to the author what is the biggest advantage of homeschooling children?A. They will become braver.B. They can be more popular.C. They can be better at socializing.D. They can study better.65. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By following the order of importance.B. By following the order of timeC. By making comparison.D. By presenting facts.(C)Feeling lonely? New research suggests you might want to find out that answer. Not only is loneliness an unpleasant condition, it can also harm the body’s immune system.The new study shows that people who are lonely experience more reactivation(重新激活) of hidden viruses in their systems than the well-connected ones. Lonely people also are more likely than others to produce inflammatory compounds(炎性化合物) in response to stress, which may cause heart disease and other chronic disorders. “Both, in different ways, indicate that the immune system is out of whack,” said study researcher Lisa Jaremka.Jaremka and her colleagues studied 200 female breast cancer survivors and 134 overweight, middle-aged adults with no major health problems.In the first study, the researchers analyzed the blood of the breast cancer survivors for antibodies against viruses. These common viruses can remain inactive and symptomless inside the body. Higher antibody levels indicate higher levels of activated viruses. The results showed that the lonelier the participant, the higher the levels of virus antibodies in the blood. Jaremka said, “The immune sy stem is unable at that time, for whatever reason, in this case loneliness perhaps, to keep that virus under control.In the second study, the researchers measured cytokines(炎性因子) in 144 of the breast cancer survivors as well as the healthy thought overweight middle-aged adults. The participants gave a blood sample and then experienced the stress of having to give a speech and do mentalmath in front of people in white lab coats.After the stressful speech, the lonelier the person is, the higher the levels of cytokine interleuking-6 are. This cytokine is important for healing in the short term, because it promotes inflammation. However, when cytokines react too readily, inflammation can be harmful. Chronic inflammation has been linked to many diseases.People who are lonely also tend to react more strongly to negative events in their lives. If lonely people experience daily life as more stressful, it may cause chronic stress, which in turn disrupts the immune system.The study indicates that those who feel close to friends and family can know that their health is likely getting benefits from those relationships. People who feel socially connected are experiencing positive outcomes.66. The Underlined phrases “is out of whack” in Paragraph 2 can be re placed by_____.A. becomes healthyB. goes wrongC. starts to respondD. lose connection67. What do the high levels of antibodies indicate?A. The immune system is failing to control the viruses.B. The immune system has managed to kill the viruses.C. The person has been badly ill.D. The immune system has been damaged.68. Why should frequent reaction of cytokines be avoided?A. Because it would make people more stressed.B. Because it can destroy the immune system completely.C. Because it may cause harmful chronic inflammation.D. Because it would make breast cancer survivors overweight.69. According to the passage, lonely people are more likely to _____.A. have had more negative experiencesB. become more sensitive to negative events.C. feel more pressure from chronic diseases.D. react strongly to positive daily life.70. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Loneliness has its advantages and disadvantages.B. Lonely people tend to have negative thoughts.C. Loneliness does harm to health both mentally and physically.D. People whose immune system is weak tend to get lonely.PART ⅣWRITING (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blankets by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Most people with problems see their problem as limitations to their success. The moment youbegin to see your problems as stumbling blocks (绊脚石), you start to have more problems. But the way you see your problems determines how they affect you. If you see your problems as the walls that cannot be broken down, then problems will affect you more than they are supposed to. But if you see your problems as opportunities, then you will be able to solve them and get the message that the problems are passing across to you.The greatest men always remain calm when they face problems. When they face problems, they remain positive. Staying positive is one of the keys to solving your problems. When used well it could help get you out of difficulty. When you remain positive, you put yourself in the right position to solve your problems effectively.Problems act as a good teacher and give you something new to learn, and with every lesson comes a solution. You must learn from the problem itself and look for the way forward instead of complaining, worrying and giving excuses. Every problem is just like an examination. Once you solve the problem, you get to the next level.Not everybody is fit to share your problems with you, and not everybody is fit to know your problems. But you should have someone you can speak to and someone who is always willing to listen to you. You must be able to be accountable to this person and the person must be someone that is better and know much more than you. This person would be able to give you meaningful advice, monitor your progress and also support you.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Nong Luhuan had a wild dream when he was little: He wanted to become a cartoonist and publish books of his own. Now, the 22-year-old art design major at Sichuan Fine Art Institute has achieved his dream. His micro blog cartoon has more than 260,000 followers and he will publish his first book soon.Nong’s micro blog cartoon first drew wide attention in late 2012. H e draws stories of real-life people striving to (努力) achieve their life goals. Though each story consists of only several pictures, it takes Nong a lot of time and effort to finish them. “ I want my work to be recognizable.I want people to think of me as a cartoonist who makes cheerful works,” Nong says. Therefore he digs deep into each person’s story. Before drawing, he spends a whole day researching the person’s background and another three days on interviews. “Micro blog cartoons are interesting not bec ause of the drawings. We attract viewers with the content,” Nong says. “Besides, viewers only spend one or two minutes on each micro blog post. If my work can cause reflection, then it is meaningful.”On the way to success, Nong had his struggles. He even thought about giving up drawing in 2011. But when he read the micro blog cartoons of Chen Anni, a well-known female cartoonist of Nong’s age, he found new courage. “She is not even a fine art student and she is pursuing (追求) her dream of drawing cartoons. Why should I give up?” Nong says. After that, Nong worked even harder, gradually becoming popular and receiving positive feedback.Many fans have sent Nong private messages, telling him that his work has encouraged them to pursue their life goals and that if they succeed they will share their stories with him. “I’m glad that I have conveyed a positive attitude through my work. My readers are motivated through it and are themselves becoming a source of motivation for others,” he says.81.What does Nong draw in his micro blog cartoons? (No more than 13 words)______________________________________________________________________________ 82.What will Nong Lunan do before he draws stories of a person?

全国高中英语试题汇编(10月+上)：O单元+湖南

O单元湖南目录【英语卷（解析）·2015届湖南省岳阳一中高三10月第二次月考（201410）】Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Every person needs energy to go about the day and continue to function correctly. To get this energy, you eat, and your body changes the food into the nutrients and energy you need to survive. Your metabolism (新陈代谢) is directl y related to how quic kly and efficiently your body cre ates this energy, and if it takes too long, the food gets stored as fat. A slow metabolism will leave you with less energy and more weight than you probably desire.Your basal metabolic rate (基础代谢率) is the amount of energy your body consumes while you're resting. When people say they have a slow metabolism, they mean they have a slow basal metabolic rate. Increasing this number is possible through exercise and muscle building.According to Metabolism-Advice. com, as your age, your basal metabolic rate will lower as your body begins to deteriorate (衰退). At the age of 30, your body will stop producing the high levels of growth hormone it previously produces. Your body senses that it's done growing at 30, so it uses the resources elsewhere. Unfortunately, that means that your muscle will deteriorate more rapidly than before. While you can’t block age's effects or your metabolism, you can fight against it with regular exercise that builds muscle.Although muscle deteriorates quicker with age, a lack of exercise will hurt your metabolism at any age. The muscle developed during exercise is vital to maintaining a healthy body with a normal basal metabolic rate. Therefore, while cardiovascular(心血管的)exercise will burn fat during the work out, building muscle will wisely allow your body to use more calories to give you healthy energy instead of stored fat.Another large factor that determines your basal metabolic rate is your eating habits. Metabolism-Advice. com suggests eating small meals every two to three hours. This will make sure that your metabolism is constantly working throughout your day. Another large factor is how healthily youeat. Taking in the required calories for your amount of daily activity will help keep your metabolism from lowering, but taking in too many calories may lead to fat.Title: About slow metabolismI .

Being a teenager is hard as you are neither a child nor 51 adult. Families can be one of the biggest causes of stress，such as problems with parents arguing at home.

Talking to people is one of the best ways. It may sound simple.55 , it works. A saying goes, “A problem shared is a problem halved.”Part III Reading Comprehension (30 marks)Directions Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AAlmost all aspects of American pop culture such as McDonald's, American films, and blue jeans can be seen in Brazil. My father, who had leftist orientated ideas, used to say that all kinds of American cultural icons(图标) were distasteful. When I was a child, it was forbidden to drink coke and to chew chewing gum in my house. Both actions were representative of the American control to my father. Incongruently(不相称地), he had an American Ford car.My father died 32 years ago, and I wonder how he would feel seeing his daughter politically centered, a diet coke addict, sometimes chewing Wrigley's juicy fruit gum, and living in the United States. He didn't live long enough to see this and the spread of American culture in the last decades. He would probably be convinced that American pop culture was swamping Brazil.I think it is difficult to stop American cultural influence. Many years ago, there was an attempt to reduce the number of American films in Brazil. The government passed a law that all cinemas should show a higher percentage of Brazilian movies. However, we didn't have enough good films, or even enough films, to show. So, in spite of government subsidies(补助金), this measure failed soon after.American music is, of course, present in Brazil. Everybody knows about Madonna, Michael Jackson, and other icons of American music; but Brazilian music has never lost its first place in the Brazilians' preferences. I read once that my country and some Asian countries are among the few which listen mostly to their own music.I think we don't need to be afraid of cultural free trade. People tend to be selective, and not everything that is imported is necessarily bad. Our native Brazilians also protest against the control of imported culture in their lives while they wear watches and shorts and use tape recorders. We can't avoid the process, but we could learn to be more critical and as selective as possible.56. American cultural icons in Paragraph 1 refer to ______.A. McDonald'sB. blue jeansC. American filmsD. things with American culture57. In the author's opinion, if his father lived now, he would ______.A. hate the American cultural icons as beforeB. spread the American culture in the last decadesC. feel proud seeing his daughter politically centered, a diet coke addictD. probably be convinced that American pop culture was swamping Brazil58. From the third paragraph, we know ______.A. in Brazil, it's hard to stop American cultural influenceB. the Brazil government encouraged the author's father to do soC. the Brazil government's measure brought enough good films for its peopleD. after the government passed a law, there was no longer American film in Brazil59. From the passage, we can infer that ______.A. Brazilian music is not as popular as beforeB. everything that is imported is necessarily badC. most Brazilians love to listen to American musicD. as for imported culture, we could learn to be more critical and selective60. What is the author's attitude towards imported American culture?A. Critical.B. Sceptical.C. Objective.D. Disapproving.BMany parents of preschoolers(学龄前儿童) struggle with their children's fears of real and imaginary creatures. A new study offers some ideas on how they can better manage their children's worries. The study, which was carried out by researchers at the University of California, Davis, appears in the November/December 2009 issue of the journal Child Development.Researchers studied about 50 4­，5­，and 7­year­olds in an effort to identify coping strategies that can be carried out by children. The children listened to aseries of short illustrated(有插图的)stories. Each story featured a child alone or with another person who came into contact with something that looked like a real or an imaginary frightening creature, such as a snake or a ghost. Children were asked to predict how intensely afraid each of the children in the stories were, to give a reason why each child felt that way, and to offer a way to help the child in the story feel less afraid.In situations in which a child's fear was caused by real creatures, the researchers found, children would rather do something than think positive thoughts. In these situations, boys more often suggested fighting, while girls more often wanted to avoid the creature. They also found that between ages 4 and 7, children show more understanding that people's thoughts and beliefs can both cause and reduce fear. While preschoolers tended to suggest pretending the imaginary creature was friendly, older children tended to suggest reminding themselves what the reality was. Therefore, the researchers say, preschoolers may benefit from seeing things in_a_more_positive_light,_while older children may do better when they focus on what's real and what's not.“These results should help parents by reminding them to keep in mind their children's age­appropriate abilities when helping them deal with their fears, particularly fears of imaginary creatures，” according to the researchers.61. The text is mainly about ______.A. a study on preschoolers' fears of real and imaginary creaturesB. a study on children's age­approp riate abilitiesC. short illustrated stories told to preschoolersD. children's better understanding of people's thoughts and beliefs62. According to the researchers, the results of the study should ______.A. help parents deal with their fearsB. help parents better deal with their children's fearsC. improve children's age­appropriate abilitiesD. remind children to help parents win over fears63. The underlined words “in a more positive light” in Paragraph 3 most probablymean “______”.A. with a brighter lightB. in a more friendly atmosphereC. at a straighter angleD. with a more positive attitude64. Girls' attitude towards the situations of a child's fear caused by realcreatures generally is that they are ______.A. brave to fight with real creaturesB. afraid of getting into contact with real creaturesC. very interested in touching real creaturesD. very confident of the friendliness of the real creatures65. What can we learn from the third paragraph?A. Children sense that people's thoughts and beliefs can cause and reduce fear.B. Children would rather do nothing than think about the situations positively.C. Children's fear of creatures is related to their age­appropriate abilities and sex.D. Preschoolers' parents worry about their children's fears of creatures.C(CNN) — Syrian military airstrikes killed more than 20 people in a province bordering Turkey, an opposition group said Saturday.

The group estimates Syria's civil war, now in its third year, has killed more than 106,000 people and created more than 1.8 million refugees.

Fighters from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and various rebel battalions(营) destroyed several tanks and killed a number of regime(政体) soldiers as they fought for control of the Menagh air base, the Observatory said. At least 10 rebel fighters, including foreigners, also died, the group said. The Menagh air base is north of Aleppo, Syria's largest city and financial hub.

Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.American families are uprooting (根除) their entire lives and relocating their families to China to give their children a leg up in learning Mandarin as China's influence continues to grow, according to The Wall Street Journal.High­powered American couples reportedly move to China and enroll their children in elementary schools that teach Mandarin. Instruction is completed in two years in these schools, and then the families move back to the United States.And even if parents aren't moving there, they are choosing Mandarin submersion programs, hiring tutors, using Skype to talk with teachers in Beijing, and even hiring Chinese­speaking nannies.Sources told The Wall Street Journal that prospective employees who speak Mandarin have a leg­up in the job market, and doting American parents are trying to do everything they can possible to give them that edge.Learning Mandarin is hardly an easy task. It's a tonal language and there's no “right” way to learn it.To earn certification in Mandarin, it takes 2,200 class hours, and half of that time must be spent in a Mandarin­speaking country. For comparison's sake, Spanish can be learned in 600 to 750 class hours.Ironically in China, where a huge emphasis is placed on education, 85 percent of people whose household income is more than $950,000 recently said they planned on sending their children abroad to study.So, Americans are still playing catch up.81.

You step up and the computer reads your eye, comparing it to the stored file it has of your iris. The images had better match---otherwise, you won’t be able to get your money.Iris scanning and other technologies, such as fingerprint and voice scanning, have appeared in many science fiction movies in the past. Today, these advanced technologies are part of the real world. They are common at work, the bank, the airport, and your local prison. The iris scan, fingerprint scan, and voice scan are all examples of biometrics(生物测定学), a fast developing area of automatic personal identification technology. Basically, biometrics uses various ways to verify a person’s identity, based on the individual’s unique characteristics, including fingerprints, signature, and so on.Biometrics identification systems have a number if advantages over password systems. The primary advantage is that an individual has to be physically present in order to be identified. Another important advantage is that there are no passwords to remember, forget, lose, or steal.The voice scan is the simplest and most affordable form of biometrics. It only requires a computer, a microphone, and the correct software. The software records a subject’s voice and then compares it to a stored voice sample for identification purpose.For additional safety, fingerprint and handprint scans can also be employed. Fingerprint scans take the image of a fingerprint and compare it to a stored file of prints. Handprint scans identify the unique features of a hand.56.

But a big tarantula（鸟蛛）is much more terrifying for many. Now, scientists in Sri Lanka have discovered a huge species of tarantula that’s about the size of a person’s face.The first part of the spider’s scientific name, Poecilotheria rajaei, comes from the Greek words for “spotted”(poikilos) and “wild beast”(therion). Its species name, rajaei, comes from a local police officer who helped the team that discovered the creature. Poecilotheria rajaei has 8-inch long legs, and unusual spots colored gray, pink, and yellow.Although it is very big, is there a real reason to be afraid of one? Maybe. This tarantula has enough poisonous fluid（毒液）to kill mice and small birds and snakes –but its bite wouldn’t cause the death of most humans.Poecilotheria rajaei was first seen in 2009, when a villager in Sri Lanka found the body of a male and brought it to Ranil Nanayakkara, co-founder of Sri Lanka’s Biodiversity Education and Research organization.An examination of the awesome creature proved that it was a type of tarantula scientists hadn’t seen before. So Nanayakkara carefully looked through the Sri Lankan forests to try to find more of the spiders.It’s still too early to know whether this species is endangered. But researchers fear that the tarantulas’ natural habitat is slowly being destroyed.“ They prefer old trees, but due to the widespread removal of trees the number has dropped,” Nanayakkara said in an interview.Tarantulas have eight legs and two body parts. They are different from insects, which have only six legs but three body parts. Tarantulas have hairy bodies and are usually larger than other types of spiders. Some species of tarantulas can live up to 25 years.While Poecilotheria rajaei is very big, the largest tarantula is the Goliath bird-eater (Theraphosa blondi). Found in the rainforests of South America, its legs can be up to 10 inches long. But don’t worry if you ever see one: Its poisonous fluid isn’t really dangerous to humans.66.

BusinessPart 1V Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Every person needs energy to go about the day and continue to function correctly. To get this energy, you eat, and your body changes the food into the nutrients and energy you need to survive. Your metabolism (新陈代谢) is directly related to how quickly and efficiently your body creates this energy, and if it takes too long, the food gets stored as fat. A slow metabolism will leave you with less energy and more weight than you probably desire.Your basal metabolic rate (基础代谢率) is the amount of energy your body consumes while you're resting. When people say they have a slow metabolism, they mean they have a slow basal metabolic rate. Increasing this number is possible through exercise and muscle building.According to Metabolism-Advice. com, as your age, your basal metabolic rate will lower as your body begins to deteriorate (衰退). At the age of 30, your body will stop producing the high levels of growth hormone it previously produces. Your body senses that it's done growing at 30, so it uses the resources elsewhere. Unfortunately, that means that your muscle will deteriorate more rapidly than before. While you can’t block age's effects or your metabolism, you can fight against it with regular exercise that builds muscle.Although muscle deteriorates quicker with age, a lack of exercise will hurt your metabolism at any age. The muscle developed during exercise is vital to maintaining a healthy body with a normal basal metabolic rate. Therefore, while cardiovascular(心血管的)exercise will burn fat during the work out, building muscle will wisely allow your body to use more calories to give you healthy energy instead of stored fat.Another large factor that determines your basal metabolic rate is your eating habits. Metabolism-Advice. com suggests eating small meals every two to three hours. This will make sure that your metabolism is constantly working throughout your day. Another large factor is how healthily you eat. Taking in the required calories for your amount of daily activity will help keep your metabolism from lowering, but taking in too many calories may lead to fat.Title: About slow metabolismI .

In much of Africa, elephants are now put in national parks. Elephants suffered a serious and steady decrease in number in the 1970s.This was the same time when scientists were beginning to learn a great deal about elephants and their behavior. Studies through the 1980s and into the 1990s showed a lot about their sounds and methods of communication.In Kenya alone, in the 1970s and 1980s, the elephant population decreased from 170,000 t0 25,000. The sharp drop in number was the result of poachers (偷猎者) illegally killing elephants for their ivory. The price of ivory went up from $ 3 a pound to $ 50 to $ 100 a pound. Africa became very attractive to poachers. Bull elephants carried larger tusks (象牙) , so they were more often killed. With males gone and older females killed by poachers as well, there were many young elephants unable to benefit from the wisdom of the older females and matriarchs, who lead the herds.Kenya took a stand that international trade in ivory was officially forbidden, and $ 3, 000,000 worth of confiscated (没收的) ivory was burned in Kenya. The following year, only 50 elephants were lost to poachers in Kenya instead of 3,000. But Kenya has the fastest growing human population in the world. People throughout Africa won’t tolerate elephants eating their crops and destroying their livelihoods. In South Africa, elephants live behind the fences of national parks. In some parts of Africa, big-game hunters pay a lot of money to hunt elephants. This keeps their numbers down, and the money goes toward conservation. In Kenya, there are some attempts at birth control to keep the elephant population in manageable numbers to reduce conflicts with people.Faced with a growing human population, elephants are losing the battle for space. It’s unlikely, though, that they will become extinct(绝种的). They will live in natural parks that bring tourists to Africa as well as India and other parts of Asia. The money from tourism will help elephants to survive.81. What’s the reason for elephant population decrease? ( No more than 8 words)82. Why were bull elephants at higher risk of being killed?
