Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneIn the old days, divers used to go down into the sea looking for ships that had sunk, because they hoped to find gold and jewels. Now divers still search for valuable things in sunken ships, but they also try to bring to the surface the ships themselves, or parts of them. The value of different kinds of metals has increased greatly over the last twenty or thirty years and even though a ship has been under the sea for many years, it may be worth a great deal.One famous sunken ship is the “Lusitania”, which sank off the southern coast of Ireland in 1915 with a loss of nearly, 1,500 lives. It has four huge propellers made of an expensive metal. Today each of those propellers is worth $ 300,000 or more. The ship lying on the sea-bed has been brought by a man called John Light. He paid about $ 1,200,000 for the whole ship. He hopes to bring up those propellers and sell them. He also hopes to sell other parts of the ship, when he has brought them to the surface, for about $ 600,000.61. Divers today try to bring to the surface _______.A. gold and jewelsB. parts of shipsC. whole shipsD. all of the above62. Diver try to bring up metals because ________.they have been in the sea for a long timegold and jewels are not valuable thingssome kinds of metals are worth a lot of moneyit is easy to bring up metals63. The word “surface” in the passage means the ______.A. marketB. airC. top of a liquidD. sea64. John Light hopes that he may be able to sell all the parts of the “Lusitania” for about _____.A. $12,000B. $300,000C. $1,200,000D. $1,800,00065. John Li ght bought the “Lusitania” _______.A. before 1915B. before it sankC. after it sankD. after they had brought up the propellersPassage TwoMan’s first real invent ion, and one of the most important inventions in history, was the wheel. All transportation and every machine in the world depend on it. The wheel is the simplest yet perhaps the most remarkable of all inventions, because there are no wheels in nature—no living thing was ever created with wheels. How, then, did man come to invent the wheel? Perhaps some early hunters found that they could roll the carcass of a heavy animal through the forest on logs more easily than they could carry it. However, the logs themselves weighed a lot.It must have taken a great prehistoric thinker to imagine two thin slices of log connected, at their centers by a string stick. This would roll along just as the logs did, yet be much lighter and easier to handle. Thus the wheel and axle came into being and with them the first carts.66. The wheel is important because _______.A. it was man’s first real inventionB. all transportation depends on itC. every machine depends on itD. both B and C67. The wheel is called _______.A. simpleB. complicatedC. strangeD. unusual68. It was remarkable of man to invent the wheel because _______.A. it led to many other inventionsB. man had no use for it thenC. there were no wheels in natureD. all of the above69. The wheel was probably invented by ______.A. a group of early huntersB. the first men on earthC. a great prehistoric thinkerD. the man who made the first cart70. This selection says that the first wheel may have been a ______.A. round piece of stoneB. heavy logC. piece of metalD. slice of logPassage ThreeEating in space is different from eating on earth. The food that astronauts carry with them does not look like the food you eat. Some food is carried in closed bags. It is cooked and frozen before the astronauts get it. All the water is removed from the food. In the spaceship the astronaut puts the water back. He “shoots” hot or cold water into the food bag with a special gun. He eats the food through a small hole in the bag.Other foods come in bite sizes. The astronaut puts a whole piece in his mouth at once. There an be no crambs. Crambs would float around the spaceship and get in the way. Meat and cake often come in bite-sized pieces. Astronauts can’t drink water from open cups. The water would fl oat in drops in the air. The water is put in the special gun. The astronaut shoots the water into his mouth. Eating in space is not easy. Astronauts must learn to eat this way.71. Some space foods are carried in _______.A. water gunsB. lunch boxesC. closed bagsD. crumbs72. The story does not say this, but from what we have read, we can tell that ______.A. you get much hungrier in space than you doB. you can’t have water to drink in a spaceshipC. astronauts must learn many new and different thingsD. you can’t eat anything in a spaceship73. Why can’t astronauts drink water from cups?A. The water would come from the open cups.B. The water would spill all over their food.C. Crambs would float in the cups.D. The cups would float in the air.74. The main idea of the whole story is that _______.A. there is more food and water in space than on earthB. eating and drinking in space is a special problemC. astronauts can never eat or drink in a spaceshipD. there is no food or water in a spaceship75. Which of the following does the story lead you to believe?A. Food for astronauts must be made in a special way.B. All meat on earth comes in bite-sized pieces.C. Astronauts will only eat cakes made from crambs.D. Astronauts have to go hungry in a spaceship.Passage FourThe energy which the sun radiates goes in every direction, and only a minute part of it falls on the earth. Even so, it represents power of about 5,000,000 horsepower (马力) per square mile per day; the sun gives us as much energy every miunte as mankind utilizes in a year. At present, we use this energy indirectly, and it is our final source of power. Coal represents the chemical action of the sun on green plants thousands of years ago. Water power results from the rain formed by vapor which comes from the evaporation of water under the sunshine. Even windmills operate because of air currents set in motion by the different heating affects of the sun in different places. Some day, through chemistry or some type of solar engine, we shall harness this great source of energy more directly. Already a scientist has worked out an engine, surprisingly efficient, in which the sun’s rays are concentrated through mirrors on a tube of water to create steam.76. How much energy given off by the sun reaches the earth?A. 100% but indirectly.B. 5%.C. 50%.D. only a very tiny amount.77. The reason why all the solar energy falling on the earth can’t be utilized is that ______.A. only a very small part is availableB. the sun is too distant from the earthC. it takes thousands of years for this energy to be stored up in coal and oilD. our scientific knowledge is not sufficient78. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Even windmill’s action depends on the sun.B. The sun produces enormous energy for man to make use of.C. Some day man will be able to utilize 100% of the solar energy that gets to the earth.D. The sun produces different heating effects in different places.79. In order to support this argument, the writer gives the example that _______.A. a machine using solar energy efficiently has already been developedB. the sun is our final source of powerC. man uses only a tiny part of the sun’s energyD. the part of the sun’s energy we use is used indirec tly80. This passage centers mainly on ________.A. harnessing energy through chemistryB. our last source of powerC. how water power is producedD. the amount of solar energy that can be utilizedⅤ.

What that means is that as you're typing a message in Wave, either a new message or a reply, the person you’re writing to can see what you're typing as you type it. Sounds awful, right?You don’t have to use Wave in this real-time way. It also works as a standard e-mail. What’s really different about Wave is that ifyou’re replying to a message and the person you're replying to happen to be online, they can jump into the conversation at that point, and change what is an e-mail conversation into an instant message conversation or a chat.Wave right now is still closed to most users. And Wave isn't yet connected to other communication systems, like regular e-mail, which means that the only people we can Wave with are other people on Wave as well. So we don’t yet know what using Wave will be like once it gets crowded like e-mail. Also, the technology behind Wave is far more demanding on servers and the Internet itself than regular e-mail or chat, so we don’t know if the technology will work at scale.But Wave really is a current re-think of e-mail. A lot of people won’t like it. A lot of people didn’t like e-mail either when it first showed up. But people will find real uses for Wave or whatever it becomes, and it's one of the most interesting new takes on communication. Even if you don't like it, it will make you think differently about e-mail.36. What is special about Wave?A. It makes people see each other online.B. It enables people to send real-time e-mails.C. It allows you to send more e-mails at the same time.D. It can be easily connected to other communication systems.37. It is uncertain that Wave will work on a large scale because______.A. people cannot find practical uses for itB. it will be a challenge to regular e-mailC. the technology it needs is more complicatedD. many people do not understand how it works38. We know from the last paragraph that ______.A. Wave is a basis for face-to-face communication on lineB. Wave allows people to look at e-mail from a new angleC. most Internet users will have access to WaveD. Wave is now as popular as standard e-mail39. What is the author's attitude toward Wave?A. Optimistic.B. Indifferent.C. Pessimistic.D. Critical.Passage TwoWell, it could not have got better for young Kavya Shivashankar, a13-year-old student from Olathe, Kansas as she came out very successfully at the Scripps National Spelling Bee 2009 (2009全美拼写大赛). On Thursday night she defeated the other 11 finalists to win the 82nd Scripps National Spelling Bee, taking home more than $40,000 cash money along with other prizes.Kavya Shivashankar, whose parents migrated to the United States from India, and who aims to become a doctor, enjoys playing the violin, bicycling, swimming and learning Indian classical dance.Thing came a bit late in Kavya’s life since she could win the championship with her fourth appearance in the competition. The last three times when she had taken part in the same competition she had finished Tenth, Eighth and Fourth.However, this time Kavya proved her courage and determination by winning the title she had been competing for so long. Her last challenge was to spell out " Laodicean". The word" Laodieean" means one who is indifferent, mostly in religious matters. She spelled it correctly and a big smile appeared on her face. Kavya wrote the words on her palm each time and spelled every word correctly.After winning Kavya exelaimed," I can’t believe it happened It feels kind of unreal. " Her family was there to support her through the competition. Her father, Mirle Shivashankar said, "The competitiveness is in her.., but she doesn’t show that. She still has that smile. That’s her quality. " He went on to say that this was" the moment" they had been waiting for so long. It was like" a dream come true" for them.40. Who is Kavya Shivashankar?A. One of the 11 finalists at the spelling competition.B. A 13-year-old girl planning to become a star dancer.C. Champion of the Scripps National Spelling Bee 2009.D. An Indian girl enjoying playing various musical instruments.41. The second time Kavya took part in the same competition, she took the ______ place.A. thirdB. fourthC. eighthD. tenth42. Before spelling out the last word "Laodicean", Kavya ______.A. wrote it down in her handB. hesitated for a momentC. smiled at her fatherD. knew that she could win43. The father’s words show that ______.A. the family needed the prize money to support Kavya's educationB. the family were too worried to be present at the competitionC. Kavya was very good at expressing her feelingsD. Kavya had a strong sense of competitionPassage ThreeNothing says "Happy Birthday!" like having a coin released in your honor by the United States Mint(铸币局), and 2009 has become an especially festive year as the Mint rolled out nine different coinsin honor of Abraham Lincoln’s 200th birthday.Four pennies with new designs on the reverse side were issuedstarting February 12. The image of a cabin represents his birthplace. Because Lincoln’s family was poor, and no one could have predicted his later importance, the actual cabin is long gone. Therefore the design is based on the "symbolic cabin" displayed at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site in Kentucky.The other designs show Abraham taking a break to read a book, the young lawyer Lincoln in front of the Illinois state capitol and a Lincoln-free image of the half finished U. S. Capitol dome as it looked during his time in office. These four coins-produced with today’s standard mix of 97.5 percent zinc and 2.5 percent copper-are intended for general circulation.The Mint also released five collectible coins that sell for more than their face value. Special editions of the four penny designs were produced with the metal content used in 1909 ; a mix of 95 percent copper and 5 percent tin and zinc. In addition, in the world of "bigger" money,2009 has brought the Lincoln Commemorative One-Dollar Coin-made up of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper-with an image that has a Gettysburg Address theme.44. What does Paragraph 2 tell about the cabin on the coins?A. It is a symbolic cabin rebuilt in Kentucky.B. It is newly built for producing new coins.C. It has been protected well for over 200 years.D. It is exactly the one where Lincoln was born.45. Special editions of the 4 collectible coins ______.A. are made of copper and silverB. sell at a price same as their face valueC. are likely to be used for circulation in the futureD. have different metal content from the one-dollar coin46.

Abraham Lincoln’s 200th BirthdayB. Coins Issued with Metal Content in 1909C. Coins in Honor of Abraham LincolnD. Collectible Coins for Abraham LincolnPassage FourLaura and Anthony Valois are a young New York couple who have been trying in vain to have their first child. Several years ago, Belinda Ramirez read an Internet adoption listing and quickly contacted them from her home in Texas ,telling them they could adopt her unborn baby. Excited, Laura and Anthony spent weeks communicating with Ramirez and got regular updates on her pregnancy.Before long, Ramirez began to ask them for financial support. That took the Valoises by surprise. But they were willing to do a lot to ensure a smooth birth. They sent more than $1,000 to Ramirez over several months.Laura and Anthony finally drove to Texas so they could be on hand for the birth. But once they arrived,Ramirez avoided their daily phone calls. After three weeks, the couple drove back to New Yorkemptyhanded and emotionally crushed.They later learned Ramirez had been cheating about ten other peoplefor such things as Wal-mart gift cards in states ranging from California to Ohio to Florida. From start to finish, it was a scam.In fact, Ramirez was never even pregnant. She was sentenced to 24 months in prison as she deserved." When you find out you can’t have children, it’s just depressing, " Laura Valois told a Texas TV station. " But when somebody intentionally does this to you, it's 15 times worse. "48.

They warn that angry hostile feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possible cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others explode with anger, and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing(压制) anger. For years many doctors thought that compared with expressing anger, repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health. It may speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure or sugar into the blood and narrow the blood vessels. To avoid these problems, doctors thought a person should let the anger out by expressing it freely. But recently some doctors disputed this. They said that people who express anger repeatedly and explosively did cause, in fact, more and not less anger. They said these too can cause medical problems.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. Expressing anger intensively may be more likely to develop heart disease, and keeping anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it isn’t, they say," Don’t express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. "Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.52. The passage mainly focuses on ______.A. the causes of angerB. the medical treatment of angerC. the health problems caused by angerD. reasonable ways of dealing with anger53. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. keeping anger inside is better than expressing it intensivelyB. both repressing and expressing anger cause health problemsC. keeping anger inside is more likely to cause heart diseaseD. expressing anger freely can avoid medical problems54. The author of the passage is most probably a(n) ______.A. patientB. editorC. psychologistD. surgeon55. According to the passage, a good way to control anger is ______.A. to do sportsB. to be high-spiritedC. to turn it into laughterD. to discuss it with doctorsⅤ.

This year’s college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of san Jose State University, got a degree in religious studies, but he has not gotten any job offers. He points out that many people already working are getting laid off and don’t have jobs, so it’s even harder for new college graduates to f ind jobs.Four years ago, the future looked bright for his class of 2006. There were many high-tech (“dotcom”) job opportunities, graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as health insurance and paid v acations. However, “Times have changed. It’s a new market.” according to an officer of the university.The officer says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several short-time jobs, and they majored in fields that are still paying well, such as accounting or nursing.Even teaching is not a secure profession now. Ryan Stewart wanted to be a teacher, but instead he will probably go back to school in order to become a college teacher. He thinks college teaching could be a good career even in a bad economy.In conclusion, these days a college degree does not automatically lead to a good job with a high salary. Some students can only hope that the value of their degree will increase in the future.1. What did a college degree mean to people in the past?A. It was a proof of their professional skills.B. It would guarantee their quick promotion.C. It built up their confidence in the job market.D. It would help them to start an academic career.2. Ryan Stewart has not got any job offer because_______.A. there are too many graduates of his majorB. he wants to find a job with very high salaryC. he has not received a degree in the universityD. the job market has changed greatly since 20023. According to the passage, _______ had the best job prospects in 2002.A. computer scienceB. accountingC. teachingD. nursing4. Why does Ryan Stewart want to be a college teacher?A. Teaching jobs are well-paid.B. He majored in teaching in the university.C. College teaching is less challenging than high-tech jobs.D. College teaching career won’t be influenced by economy.5. It can be concluded from the passage that _______.A. the value of a college degree has decreased now.B. new college graduates today can’t find jobs.C. a college degree can still lead to a good job.D. graduates must prepare early to find jobs.Passage one 1.

2010-2023历年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试重庆卷英语试题
2010-2023历年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试重庆卷英语试题第1卷一.参考题库(共20题)1.How to Be a WinnerSir Steven RedgraveWinner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes （糖尿病）. Believing my career （职业生涯）was over, I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it----the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn’t finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”Karen PickeringSwimming World Champion“I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success—you can’t follow a career in any field without being well-organized. List what you believe you can achieve. “Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them.”Kirsten BestPoet ＆ Writer“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve something. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’, ‘peace’ or ‘focus’, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological （心理的）tool.”【小题1】What does Sir Steven Redgrave mainly talk about?A．Difficulties influenced his career.B．Specialists offered him medical advice.C．Training helped him defeat his disease.D．He overcame the shadow of illness to win.【小题2】What does Karen Pickering put on top of her diary?A．Her training schedule.B．Her daily happenings.C．Her achievements.D．Her sports career.【小题3】What does the underlined word “distractions” probably refer to? A．Ways that help one to focus.B．Words that help one to feel less tense.C．Activities that turn one’s attention away.D．Habits that make it hard for one to relax.【小题4】According to the passage, what do the three people have in common? A．Courage.B．Devotion.C．Hard work.D．Self-confidence.2.Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses （球场） in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry abou t resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health cl ubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.【小题1】Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of? A．Cycling around a lake.B．Motor racing in the desert.C．Playing basketball in a gym.D．Swimming in a sports center.3.I arrived at my mother’s home for our Monday family dinner. The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. Mother was pulling out quilt(被子)after quilt from the boxes, proudly showing me their beauties. She was preparing for a quilt show at the Elmhurst Church. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes, I noticed something at the bottom of one box. I pul led it out. “What is this?” I asked.“Oh?” Mom said, “That’s Mama’s quilt.”I spread the quilt. It looked at if a group of school children had pieced it together; irregular designs, childish pictures, a crooked line on the right.“Grandmother made this?” I said, surprised. My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This certainly didn’t look like any of the quilts she had made.“Yes, right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes,” she said. “I’m still working on it. See, this is what I’ve done so far.”I looked at it more closely. She had made straight a crooked line. At the center of the quilt, she had stitched(缝) a piece of cloth with these words: “My mother made many quilts. She didn’t get all lines straight. But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt.”“Ooh, this is so nice, Mom,” I said. It occurred to me that by completing my grandmother’s quilt, my mother was honoring her own mother. I realized, too, that I held in my hands a family treasure. It started with the loving hands of one woman, and continued with the loving hands of another.【小题1】Why did the author go to mother’s home?A．To see her mother’s quilts.B．To help prepare for a show.C．To get together for the family dinner.D．To discuss her grandmother’s life.【小题2】The author was surprised because .A．the quilt looked very strange.B．her grandmother liked the quilt.C．the quilt was the best she had seen.D．her mother had made some changes【小题3】The underlined wood “crooked” in the passage most probably means . A．unfinishedB．brokenC．bentD．unusual【小题4】 Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．A Quilt ShowB．Mother’s HomeC．A Monday DinnerD．Grandmother’s Quilt4.DSeeing a volcano erupt (喷发) is a wonderful experience, and you can really feel the beat by climbing to the summit(山顶) of Pacaya for a close-up view. There are guided tours every day up this highly active volcano from Antigua. Giving travelers a chance to see Mother Nature at her most powerful.Pacaya is an easy drive from Antigua, a beautiful city with many colorful houses along its old streets that are turned into art-works during its Holy Week festival. No matter when you come to Antigua, you won’t miss the Pacaya-tour companies.But climbing Pacaya is no easy job: it is 2560 metres high, and reaching the summit takes two to three hours of seemingly one-step-forward and two-step-back movements. As you climb, you hear the dull sounds of eruptions high above. Steaming. Hot remains from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you near the active summit; the McKenney Cone(火山锥). Just as though you were going to walk over to the edge of the cone, the road turns to the left and up to the relative safety of the old, inactive summit.Many tours are timed so that you arrive at the cone of the volcano is plenty of time for sunset and the full contrast between the erupting red lava(熔岩) and the darkening sky. On a good day the view from the summit is extremely exciting. The active mouth boils, sending red lava over its sides, and once in a while shoots hot streams up to 100 metres into the air. There is a strong bad smell in the air even if you take care to be upwind of the cone. As evening turns deeper into the night. the burning lava quietly falls down tae side of the volcano. For you, too, it is time to get down .【小题1】 What is the main purpose of this passage?A．To attract tourists to Pacaya.B．To describe the beauty of Pacaya.C．To introduce guided tours to Pacaya.D．To explain the power of nature at Pacaya.【小题2】Antigua is a city .A．where people can enjoy cultural festivalsB．where the daring Pacaya tour startsC．that gives a close-up view of ParayaD．that is famous for its tour companies【小题3】Climbing to the McKenney Cone, people will .A．walk directly to the active summitB．hear the continuous loud noise from aboveC．make greater efforts than to other summitsD．see a path lined with remains of earlier eruptions【小题4】 Many tours are timed for people to .A．get down the mountain in time when night fallsB．avoid the smell from the upwind direction of the coneC．enjoy the fantastic eruption against the darkening skyD．appreciate the scenery of the 2560-metre-high mountain5.Liverpool, my hometown, is a unique city. It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage （遗产） Site.I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was at a museum on the River Mersey. Blanketed in mist （薄雾）, Victorian architecture rose from the banks of the river, responded to the sounds of sea-birds, and appeared unbelievably charming. When I headed toward the centre, I found myself surrounded by buildings that mirror the best palaces of Europe. It is not hard to imagine why, on first seeing the city, most visitors would be overpowered by the beauty of the noble buildings, which are solid signs of Liverpool’s history.As if stress its cultural role, Liverpool has more museums and galleries （美术馆）than most cities in Britain. At Walker Art Gallery, I was told that it has best collections of Victorian paintings in the world, and is the home of modern art in the north of England. However, culture is more than galleries. Liverpool offers many music events. As Britain’s No.1 music city, it has the biggest city music festival in Europe, and its musicians are famous all over the world. Liverpool is also well-known for its football and other sports events. Every year, the Mersey River Festival attracts thousands of visitors, madding the city a place of wonder.As you would expect from such a city, there are restaurants serving food from around the world. When my trip was about to complete, I chose to rest my legs in Liverpool’s famous Philharmonic pub（酒馆）. It is a monument to perfection, and a heritage attraction itself.Being a World Heritage Site, my home city is certainly a place of “outstanding universal value”. It is a treasure house with plenty of secrets for the world to explore.【小题1】Visitors who see the city for the first time would be deeply impressed by __________.A．its charming banksB．its famous museumsC．its wonderful palacesD．its attractive buildings【小题2】The third paragraph is developed mainly by __________.A．providing different examplesB．following the order of spaceC．making comparisonsD．analyzing causes【小题3】The author uses the Philharmonic pub to prove that _________. A．Liverpool is a well-known city for its restaurantsB．Liverpool is an impressive place full of attractionC．a pub is a wonderful place for visitors to relax themselvesD．a pub is a perfect choice for visitors to complete their journey【小题4】 What is the passage mainly about?A．The universal value of the world heritage in Liverpool.B．The exciting experience of the author in Liverpool.C．The special cultural atmosphere of Liverpool.D．The beautiful historic sites of Liverpool.6.——I am afraid I can’t return the book to you before Friday.—— .A．Don’t be afraidB．Be carefulC．Not at allD．Take your time7.Teenagers their health because they play computer games too much.A．have damagedB．are damagingC．damagedD．will damage8.With the world changing fast, we have something new _______with all by ourselves every day.A．dealB．dealtC．to dealD．dealing9.Michael’s new house is like a huge palace, ______with his old one.

Can’t you see he’s only trying to get home?”“He doesn’t have any money! ” the driver 48 .“Well, that’s no 49 to throw him off the bus,” she insisted.Then she reached inside her blouse, look out her 50 money, and handed it to the conductor. “Here’s his fare and mine. Just stop giving him a 51 time.”All heads turned to the woman. “It’s only money,” she shrugged.She rode the rest of the way home 52 a happy smile, with the money she’d lost earlier 53 .On the road of life, the help of strangers can 54 our loads and lift our spirits.

It is listed by the Guinn ess Book of Would Records as the world largest un dergro und lake. The Lost Sea is part of an exte nsive and historic cave system called Craighead Caver ns.The caver ns have bee n known and used since the days of the Cherokee In dia n n ati on.The cave expa nds into a series of huge rooms from a small ope ning on the side of themountain. Approximately one mile from the entran ce, in a room called “ The Council Room,” many In dia n artisfacts have bee n found. Some of the items discovered in clude pottery, arrowheads, weap ons, and jewelry.For many years there were persiste nt rumors of a large un dergro und lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boyn amed Ben Sands crawled through a small ope ning three hun dred feet un dergro und. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors.

Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told aga in, is as n ecessary as putt ing gasoli ne in the family car before start ing a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So't he despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the nu mber of people who did n breakfast, i ncreased by 33 perce nt.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good n ews. Several studies in the last few years in dicate that, for adults especially, theremay be no thi ng wrong with omitti ng breakfast. “ Goi ng without breakfast does not affect performanee, ” said Arrold E.

Professor Ben der once taught college courses in nu triti on in LondonPassage FourAbout 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in anin stituti on of higher lear ning.

Some college graduates go on to earn adva need masters or doctoral degrees in grad (graduate school. Occupati ons in certa in fields such as law or medici ne require such adva need studies.Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time. Ofte n some will take five or more years to complete a four-year programbecause of money / job dema nds on their time.While the college and work dema nds take up the great part of a stude ntstillenjoy social activities.

Everything alive has genes. Plants have genes.Animals have genes. You have genes. Genes are the basic units of heredity. Heredity means all the characteristics you inherit from your parents. You get your genes from your parents. You inherit half of your genes from your mother. You inherit half of your genes from your father. Genes are a kind of code. A tree’s genes tell what shape its leaves will be. A cat’s genes tell what color its fur will be. Your genes tell what color your eyes will be. Your genes tell what color your hair will be. Everything about you comes from the code in your genes. Genes line up on strands called chromosomes in cells. Everything alive is made up of cells. Chromosomes are in the center, or nucleus, of cells.An Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel first saw inherited patterns in pea plants. He experimented with pea plants in the 1860s. One of the things, or traits, Mendel studied was what makes some pea plants tall and some short. He said that the traits (特征) must come from units of heredity (遗传)passed from the parent plants. These units were called genes. In the mid-1900s, scientists discovered that genes are made of DNA. In the 1970s, scientists learned how to change DNA with genetic engineering. Scientists also learned that problems with certain genes cause diseases. Muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, and hemophilia are some genetic diseases—diseases caused by problems in genes. Today, scientists are looking for ways to cure genetic diseases by altering genes through a process called gene therapy.1. If one's father has blue eyes, while his mother has grey ones, _________.A. their son will have blue eyes.B. Their son is sure to have greyeyes.C. their son's eyes will share both that of father's and mother's.D. It is probably their son will have either blue eyes or grey ones.2.

Something that happened to an Austrian monk4. In the last sentence, the word "altering" can best be replaced by __________.A. changingB. preserving D. deserving D. digesting 阅读理解（二）In recent years advances in medical technology have made it possible for people to live longer than in the past. New medicines and instruments are being developed every day to extend(延长) life. However, some people, including some doctors, are not in favour of these life extending measures, and they argue that people should have the right to die when they want. They say that the quality of life is as important as life itself, and that people should not be forced to go on living when conditions of life have become unbearable(不能忍受的).

They claim environmental disadvantage and concerns over public safety justify their ban. Local government officials and law makers have argued their leading concern is the threat of pollution from spent lead-acid batteries.The relatively high speed of electric bicycles---faster than most common bikes at about20kilometers per hour---is just too dangerous in the eyes of some policy-makers.They also mention interference with automobiles,common bikes and passers-by that results in accidents or slowed traffic.But none of these arguments justify the ban.In the first place,it should be made clear that while operating,the battery driving an electric bike sends out almost no polluting gas.They are much cleaner than cars.If the batteries, which can be used for one or two years,are thrown away without proper treatment or recycling,environmental damage is highly likely.It is required that electric bike producers and store sellers sign recycling contracts to ensure consumers can sell used batteries back to producers.In practice,some small producers neglect their recycling responsibility,causing concern for environmental pollution.It is clear the authorities can solve the problem through strengthening management. Although it will require some extra efforts from the government,it does not go beyond government officials'call of duty.Regarding the speed,there are technical standards governing the production of electric bikes.According to the standards,the designed speed should be limited to a maximum of20kilometers per hour.This is slower than the top speed of some mountain bikes.To cater to the consumer desire for higher speed,some manufacturers have made it easy to remove speed-limiting devices after purchase,which is potentially very dangerous.To make the bicycles safer,local governments should draft regulations specifying severe punishments for rule-breakers.The black sheep should be picked up and punished,but violations by a small number of manufacturers or riders should not be an excuse to spoil the fun for everyone.1.What is the author's attitude towards banning electric bicycles_______A.PositiveB.NegativeC.NeutralD.Not mentioned2.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?_______A.Beijing will be the first city in China to ban electric bicycles starting this year.B.Zhuhai rather than Beijing is the first to make law to forbidden the use of electric bicycle.C.More than one local government has decided to ban the use of electric bicycles.D.Shanghai is not one of the cities,which have determined to ban electric bicycles.3.In the last paragraph but one,the sentence"To cater to the consumer desire for higher speed,..."the underlined phrase can best be replaced by___________.A.satisfyB.delayC.promoteD.haste4.Which of the following is not considered to be a disadvantage by those who want to ban electric bicycles?______A.The used batteries will pollute the environment.B.The dangerous speed.C.More accidents and slow trafficD.Some producers neglect their recycling responsibility阅读理解（二）Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the United States,yet she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies.As she once said of herself:”I would never sit back in a rocking chair,waiting for someone to help me."No one could have had a more productive old age.She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State,one of five boys and five girls.At twelve she left home and was in domesti(家庭的)service until,at twenty-seven,she married Thomas Moses,the hired hand of one of her employers.They farmed most of their lives,first in Virginia and then in New York State,at Eagle Bridge.She had ten children,of whom five survived;her husband died in1927.Grandma Moses painted a litte as a child and made embroldery(刺绣)pictures as a hobby,but only changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff(硬的)to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time.Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore(杂货店)and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought everything she painted.Three of the pictures exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art,and in1940she had her first exhibition in New York.Between the1930's and her death she produced some2,000pictures:detailed(详细的)and lively portrayals(描绘)of the country life she had known for so long,with a wonderful sense of colour and form."I think really hard till1think of something really pretty,and then I paint it."she said.1.According to the passage,Grandma Moses began to paint because she wanted to.A.make herself beautifulB.keep activeC.earn more moneyD.become famous2.Grandma Moses spent most of her life.A.nursingB.paintingC.embroideringD.farming3.The underlined word survived means.A.graduated from collegeB.examined the condition of the houseC.lived longer than the other childrenD.gave up themselves to the police4.From Grandma Moses'description of herself in the first paragraph,it can be inferred that she was。
