AThe Best Theatres of the Year“A Streetcar Named Desire”Maxine Peake, following outstanding performances in “Hamlet” and “The Skriker”, now plays Blanche DuBois. It will be fascinating to see whether Peake plays Blanche as a shape of the poetic spirit rather than a crazy southern beauty. With Sarah Frankcom directing and Ben Batt as Stanley Kowalski, the play must be good.September to 15 October, Royal Exchange, ManchesterBox office: 0161-8339833“The Gaul”Some time on the night of 8 February 1974, fisherman FV Gaul disappeared off the coast of Norway. For the families of the 36 men on board, waiting for news was a hard time. Stories came up. Even when he was discovered on the seabed, many still felt there were questions that remained unanswered. Mark Babych directs Janet Plater’s play.6-29 October, Hull TruckBox office: 01482323638“The Red Barn”David Hare’s new play is based on “La Main”, a thriller by the great Georges Simenon. The setting is Connecticut 1969, and the story is about two couples who, on their way back from a party, try to go through the snow. The play is directed by Robert Icke, and Mark Strong and Hope Davis are leading actors.6-20 October Lyttelton, LondonBox office: 020-********“The Cheviot, the Stag and the Black Oil”John McGrath’s play about the exploitation (开发) of the Scottish Highlands has been described as the most important show in the history of the Scottish theatre. First seen over 40 years ago, the show is now revived (使复活) by Joe Douglas and gets five-star reviews on its first outing. 14-24 September, Royal Lyceum, EdinburghBox office: 0131-24848481. What can we infer about Maxine Peake?A. She is a famous director.B. She acted well in ”Hamlet”.C. She is a friend of Blanche DuBois.D. She enjoys poems much.2. What happened to FV Gaul in the play?A. He was caught in the snow.B. He came back to life after he died.C. He disappeared and died.D. He explored the Scottish Highlands.3. The director of “The red Barn” is _____.A. David HareB. Robert IckeC Mark Strong. D. Sarah Frankcom4. About the plays mentioned in the passage, we can know they _____.A. are all thrillersB. are directed by the same personC. would be on in autumnD. would be on at the same theatreBBritish shoppers buy 2.15 million tons of clothing and shoes per year, yet UK people have about ￡ 30 billon worth of unused clothing at the back of the wardrobe (⾐橱) . But new technology could see the end of tat (粗⿇布) with the clothes themselves reminding the owners of their existence.“Smart clothes” could help us clear out our wardrobes by sending messages or tweeting (推⽂) to us if they haven’t been worn for a good while. If these messages are ignored, the clothes will get in touch with a clothing charity and ask to be reused, with an organization automatically sending out donation in order. They could also be programmed for a public sale where they are sold to whoever offers the highest price on eBay.Experts at Birmingham, City University are developing the “connected wardrobe”to encourage more suitable clothes consumption (消费). The new kind of wardrobe sees clothes tagged, using washable contactless technology.Mark Brill, senior lecturer at the university, said, “Think of the surprise when an owner suddenly receives bids (出价) for items that they didn’t know in their wardrobe. The ‘connected wardrobe’is a practical pleasant idea to encourage people to think about their clothing consumption. Finally, I hope it will encourage more proper fashion consumption. Perhaps we can even move away from the idea of the ownership of clothing. When we’ve worn them enough, the items will pass themselves on to their next keeper.”It follows in the footsteps of the “Internet of things”—an idea that sees ordinary household items connecting to the Internet in order to share information. Now, the “Internet of Clothes” will make sure that neglected clothes will tweet and text the owners,“asking” to be worn depending on the weather and frequency of wear. Clothes will keep track of other information, such as who owned them before, as well as how much they originally cost, who made them and how much the worker was paid for them.5. What does the author say about the “smart clothes”?A. They may be recycled if long forgotten.B. They have gotten popularity.C. They give warnings if worn out.D. They may be donated on eBay.6. What is suggested in the last paragraph?A. The Internet is a place to share items.B. Weather affects the connected wardrobe.C. Household items can be a source of information.D. Clothes are sold online at a low price.7. The underlined word “neglected”in the last paragraph means “_____”.A. changeableB. unforgettableC. recycledD. unnoticed8. What’s the passage mainly about?A. The future of clothes consumption.B. The new technology about clothes.C. Common things sold on the Internet.D. Recycled wardrobes on the market.CCold weather during winter months may keep many people from running in the open air. However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. Researchers say running in cold weather helps improve one’s performance. Many people say running in winter can be difficult. Two reasons are the low temperatures and cold winds. Yet many runners might find it easier than running in hot weather. That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate and the body’s dehydration (脱⽔) levels are lower than those in warmer conditions. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather.This information comes from sports scientist John Brewer at St Mary’s University in London. He and other researchers put a group of people into a room they called an “environmental Chamber”. They then recreated summer and winter weather conditions in the room. The test subjects were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions. The team recorded biological measurements of the runners.Brewer says every movement runners make produces heat. One way in which people lose heat is by sweating (流汗). The body also loses heat by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin, which puts more pressure on the heart in summer because it’s much harder to lose heat in the warm environment. However, the body doesn’t have to work as hard to transport blood to the skin’s surface in cold conditions. That means running in cooler temperatures requires less energy.Several websites note that the most important thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. Wear shoes that will keep you from falling. Keeping as dry as possibleis most important when exercising in low temperatures. And wear more than one layer (层) of clothing to keep sweat away from your skin. So don’t let winter keep you indoors. Simply get ready for the low temperatures and start running.9. What were the test subjects required to do in the “environmental chamber”?A. Stay in the room in the hot and cold conditions.B. Run more than 10,000 meters in the warm environment.C. Run 10,000 meters under summer and winter weather conditions.D. Stay in the room for a long time in the cold environment.10. Running in cooler temperatures requires less energy because _____.A. it prevents runners producing sweatB. it’s much harder for the body to lose heatC. it’s easier for the runners to breathe fresh airD. it’s easier for the body to send blood to the skin’s surface11. Which of the following are proper ways to run in cold conditions?①Wearing as dryly as possible.②Wearing only one layer of clothing.③Wearing shoes that will prevent falling.A.①②B.②③C.①③D.①②③12. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To show his love of running in cold weather.B. To persuade people to stay indoors in winter.C. To give some advice on running in cold weather.D. To encourage people to run in cold weather.DWe had about half an hour until the bus would arrive to take us to the airport. I wasn’t worried about my daughter. At ten years old, she could easily entertain herself. But what was my four-year-old son going to do for the next 30 minutes?Half an hour could seem like a long time for a pre-school child. He began playing with his toy car. Then he noticed a boy similar in age. Actually, they noticed each other. Slowly, theybegan to interact (互动). At first, they shared smiles, which soon led to sharing toys. And before I knew it, they were running and playing in the hotel lobby.I realized that the scene described above was not uncommon. However, there was one thing that I have to mention: The boys did not share a common language. However, this little thing didn’t seem to stop them from their fun in the least. They were two little boys who had just met, and they were having more fun than anyone else in the lobby. In fact, I believed they would have played together all day if we had let them.Classrooms around the world are becoming more and more diverse (多种多样的). And that’s a good thing. But with this diversity comes a responsibility to our students. We must provide ways in which they can interact and feel comfortable, despite the language that they do or don’t speak. We must allow students who share the same interests to spend time together—even when they don’t share the same language. By doing this, we immediately place them in their comfort zone. When they work within their strengths, students’ confidence grows.Furthermore, as walls come down, students are more likely to welcome and work together with those whom they may not have noticed before.13. From the first paragraph, we can infer that_____.A. the author arrived at the airport half an hour earlier.B. the author was worried about his son.C. the author’s son could easily entertain himself.D. the author’s daughter was worried about her little brother.14. What happened to the two boys without sharing the same language?A. They played together happily.B. They learned from each other.C. They had difficulty in communicating.D. They made noises in the hotel lobby.15. According to the passage, students who_____.A. share the same language would be friends.B. come from the same place can communicate well.C. have the same interests should spend time together.D. come from different families have different habits.第⼆节 (共5⼩题；每⼩题2分，满分10分)根据短⽂内容，从短⽂后的选项中选出能填⼊空⽩处的最佳选项。

Most people are pretty accurate in their answer. And if you don't know for sure, it's very likely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist, there may be a clock on the wall, desk, or computer screen, or maybe you're riding in a car that a clock in the dashboard （仪表盘） .Even if you don't have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat.Humans have an internal clock that regulates （调节） the beating of our heart, the pace of our breathing, the discharge （排出） of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other body functions.Time is something from which we can't escape. Even if we ignore it, it's still going by, ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, "Who's in charge? " We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it our TAL#NBSP ally.By taking control of how you spend your time, you'll increase your chances of becoming a more successful student. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies, the more time you'll have to spend on your outside interests.The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to make informed choices as to how weuse our time. Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.(1) The underlined word”TAL#NBSP ally”in Para. 3 probably means somebody or something that is.A. your slave and serves youB. your supporter and helps youC. under your control and obeys youD. under your influence and follows you(2) The author intends to tell us that time.A. could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watchB. could be managed by the internal clock of human bodiesC. should be well managed for our own interestD. should be saved for outside interests(3) In the next part the author would most probably discuss with you.A. how to keep up with the timesB. how to make up for last timeC. how to have a good timeD. how to make good use of time18、【来源】 2008年高考真题江苏卷（B篇）第59~61题6分We experience different forms of the Sun's energy every day. We can see its light and feel its warmth. The Sun is the major source of evaporation （蒸发）of water from the oceans and lakes. Sunlight also provides the energy used by green plants to make their own food. These green plants then provide food for all organisms （生物） on the Earth.Much of the energy that comes from the Sun never reaches the Earth's surface. It is either reflected or absorbed by the gases in the upper atmosphere. Of the energy that reaches the lower atmosphere, 30% is reflected by clouds or the Earth's surface. The remaining70% warms the surface of the planet, causes water to evaporate, and provides energy for the water cycle and weather. Only a tiny part, approximately 0.023%, is actually used by green plants to produce food.Many gases found in the atmosphere actually reflect heat energy escaping from the Earth's surface back to the Earth. These gases act like the glass of a greenhouse in that they allow energy from the Sun to enter but prevent energy from leaving. They are therefore called greenhouse gases.When sunlight strikes an object, some of the energy is absorbed and some is reflected. The amount reflected depends on the surface. For example, you've probably noticed how bright snow is when sunlight falls on it. Snow reflects most of the energy from the Sun, so it contributes to the low temperatures of winter. Dark-coloured surfaces, such as dark soil or forest, absorb more energy and help warm the surrounding air.(1) According to the passage, the root cause for weather changes on the Earthis.A. the atmosphere surrounding the EarthB. water from oceans and lakesC. energy from the SunD. greenhouse gases in the sky(2) Only a small part of the Sun'senergy reaches the Earth's surface because most ofit.A. absorbed by the clouds in the lower atmosphereB. reflected by the gases in the upper atmosphereC. lost in the upper and lower atmosphereD. used to evaporate water from the oceans and lakes(3) We learn from the passage that.A. all living things on the Earth depend on the Sun for their foodB. a forest looks dark in winter because it absorbs solar energyC. only 0.023% of the energy from the Sun is made use of on the EarthD. greenhouse gases allow heat energy to escape from the Earth’s surface19、【来源】 2008年高考真题江苏卷第52~65题8分Gallery Policies for Visitors to National Gallery of Art, Washington Visitors must present all carried items for inspection upon entry.

College, career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.Over the phone, his mother told him, "Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday." Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel（新闻短片） as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days."Jack, did you hear me? ""Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It's been so long since I thought of him. I'm sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago, " Jack said.Well, he didn't forget you. Every time I saw him he'd ask how you were doing. He'd reminisce （回忆） about the many days you spent over 'his side of the fence' as he put it, " Mom told him."I loved that old house he lived in, " Jack said."You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man's influence in your life, " she said."He's the one who taught me carpentry. I wouldn't be in this business if it weren't for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important… Mom, I'll be there for the funeral, " Jack said.Busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser's funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.The night before they had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture… Jack stopped suddenly."What's wrong, Jack? " his Mom asked."The box is gone, " he said."What box? " Mom asked."There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he'd ever tell me was 'the thing I value most', " Jack said.It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it."Now, I'll never know what was so valuable to him, " Jack said sadly.Returning to his office the next day, he found a package on his desk. The return address caught his attention."Mr. Harold Belser" it read.Jack tore open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack's hands shook as he read the note inside."Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. It's the thing I valued most in my life." A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, and tears filling his eyes, Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover, he opened it.Inside he found these words carved: "Jack, Thanks for your time! Harold Belser.""Oh, My God! This is the thing he valued most…"Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days. "Why? " his assistant asked."I need some time to spend with my son, " he said.(1) Why did Jack think Mr. Belser died years ago?A. College and career prevented him from remembering Mr. Bleser.B. Jack was too busy with his business and family to think about Mr. Belser.C. Jack was too busy realizing his dreams to think about Mr. Belser.D. His present busy life washed away his childhood memories.(2) Jack's mother told him on the phone about Mr. Belser EXCEPT that.A. Mr. Belser often asked how Jack was doingB. Mr. Belser's funeral would take place on WednesdayC. Mr. Belser had asked for Jack's mailing addressD.

Because he thought he had to keep his word.D. Because Jack had always wanted it during his childhood.(4) Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage?A. The Good Old TimesB. What He Valued MostC. An Old Gold WatchD. The Lost Childhood Days四、阅读填空（每小题1分，共10分）21、【来源】 2008年高考真题江苏卷第71~80题10分Teamwork is just as important in science as it is on the playing field or in the gym. Scientific investigations （调查） are almost always carried out by teams of people working together. Ideas are shared, experiments are designed, data are analyzed, and results are evaluated and shared with other investigators. Group work is necessary, and is usually more productive than working alone.Several times throughout the year you may be asked to work with one or more of your classmates. Whatever the task your group is assigned, a few rules need to be followed to ensure a productive and successful experience.What comes first is to keep an open mind, because everyone's ideas deserve consideration and each group member can make his or her own contribution. Secondly, it makes a job easier to divide the group task among all group members. Choose a role on the team that is best suited to your particular strengths. Thirdly, always work together, take turns, and encourage each other by listening, clarifying, and trusting one another. Mutual support and trust often make a great difference.Activities like investigations are most effective when done by small groups. Here are some more suggestions for effective team performance during these activities: Make sure each group member understands and agrees to the task given to him or her, and everyone knows exactly when, why and what to do take turns doing various tasks during similar and repeated activities; be aware of where other group members are and what they are doing so as to ensure safety; be responsible for your own learning, though it is by no means unwise to compare your observations with those of other group members.When there is research to be done, divide the topic into several areas, and this can explore the issue in a very detailed way. You are encouraged to keep records of the sources used by each person, which helps you trace back to the origin of the problems that may happen unexpectedly. A format for exchanging information （e.g. photocopies of notes, oral discussion, etc.） is also important, for a well chosen method not only strengthens what you present but also makes yourself easily understood. When the time comes to make a decision and take a position on an issue, allow for the contributions of each member of the group. Most important of all, it is always wise to make decisions by compromise and agreement.After you've completed a task with your team, make an evaluation of the team's effectiveness the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and challenges.Title Working TogetherTheme Effective performance needs highly cooperated1.General rulesKeep an open mind to everyone's2.Divide the group task among group members.3and trust each other.4Understand and agree to the5task of one's own.Take turns doing various tasks.Show concern for others to ensure safety.Take6for one's own learning.Compare your own observations with those of others.Explore an issueBreak the7into several areas.Keep records of the sources just in8.9your information with others via proper format.Make all decisions by compromise and agreement.10EffectivenessAnalyze the strengths and weaknesses.Find out the opportunities and challenges.五、书面表达（共25分）22、【来源】 2008年高考真题江苏卷第81题25分实现有效的沟通，建立良好的人际关系，不仅要善于言表、更要学会倾听。
