My violin is like a soul mate that whispers words of wisdom to me. Together, we've gone through both tears and happiness.
About 12 years ago, I made acquaintance with it following an order from my mom. Many
hours of boredom were spent practicing it. And to make things worse, the disappointment in my teacher's eyes as I played the wrong notes was like an invisible hammer, striking on my heart, One day, I finally decided: I hate it!
By chance, things changed when I was seven. I was at home lying on the sofa, wondering how those famous violinists dealt with this terrible dilemma. I searched online for the E-minor Concerto, a well-known violin work by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, and listened to it.
A beautiful and mysterious sound came from the violin as the bow moved across it. It was like the music slid over the flowers, rose up, and started to fill the air. The violin's voice woke up the sun, made the trees green, and freshened the air. As the music changed, the sky turned hack to gray. A gloomy shade covered the grass as all the sunshine disappeared. I could hear children crying and men shouting. It was like an invisible claw had grabbed my heart tightly, making it unable to beat.
That glorious day set off my passion and interest in violin-I grabbed mine and never let it go. Before the memories faded, I stared at my instrument. Without hesitating, I picked it up, rosined(用松香擦)the bow, and began to play. Peace filled my heart.
My violin has been by my side for 12 years. When I feel happy, an energetic tune makes it even better; when I'm deep in sorrow, a peaceful tune washes it away, when I'm walking on air, feeling especially pleased with my achievements, solemn(庄严的)tunes calm me down. Gradually, it has become a part of my life.
My violin, shall I compare you to a summer's day?
24. What further contributed to the author's dislike of violin-playing?

D. The scenery outside the room was quite attractive.

C. A famous tune aroused his interest and passion.
D. He was crazy about Felix Mendelssohn's works.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

Laughter is part of the universal human vocabulary. All members of the human species understand it. Unlike English or French or Swahili, we don't have to learn to speak it. We're born with the capacity to laugh.
Very little is known about the specific brain mechanisms responsible for laughter. Contrary to folk wisdom, most laughter is not about humor; it is about relationships. To find out when and why people laugh, I went with several assistants to local malls and recorded what happened just before people laughed. Over a 10-year period, we studied over 2,000 cases of naturally occurring laughter.
We found that most laughter does not necessarily follow jokes. People may laugh after a variety of statements, such as, "Here comes Mary," "How did you do on the test?" or "Do you have a rubber band?" These certainly aren't jokes.
We believe laughter evolved from the panting(喘气的)behavior of our ancient ancestors. Today, if we tickle(使发痒)chimps, they don't laugh. But, instead, they produce a panting sound. That's the sound of ape laughter, and it's the root of human laughter.
Apes laugh in the kinds of situations that lead to human laughter, like games that involve chasing. Other animals produce sounds during play, but they are so different from laughter. Rats, for example, produce high sounds during play and when tickled, but these are very different in sound from human laughter.
Laughter is often positive, but it can be negative too. There's a difference between "laughing with" and "laughing at". People who laugh at others may be trying to drive them out of the group.
No one has actually counted how much people of different ages laugh, but young children probably laugh the most. At ages 5 and 6 we probably laugh more than at any other times. Adults laugh less than children, probably because they play less.
Work now underway will tell us more about the brain mechanisms behind laughter, how it has evolved, and why we're so susceptible to tickling.
28. What was the purpose of the decade's research?
A. To prove that people laugh because of humour.
B. To find out the real reason for people s laughter.
C. To research people s different reaction on jokes.
D. To record conversations among shoppers in malls.
29. What can we learn from the text?
A. People who play more tend to laugh more.
B. Apes produce high sounds when tickled
C. Scientists know the brain mechanisms responsible for laughter well.
D. The situations in which apes laugh are very different from those in which humans laugh.
30. What does the underlined word "susceptible" in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Sensitive.
B. Flexible.
C. Addictive.
D. Reliable.
31. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A. The Impact of Laughter
B. The Meaning of Laughter
C. A Big Mystery: Why Do We Laugh?
D. Laughter: The Most Beautiful Words

Tired of dealing with those slow, dumb, and unfriendly hotel staff? How about a hotel that provides chance for minimal interaction with the" people" running the hotel? In the Henn Na Hotel in Japan, there aren't any!
Being called "Weird Hotel" by locals, the Henn Na Hotel opened in 2016 in the town of Sasebo, is staffed almost by robots. The robots are not just for fun. They do a large amount of work saving time and money as well. They can greet you when you enter. Also, they play music in the lounge, inform you of the breakfast menu, and control the lights in your hotel room, etc.
Thinking that the hotel should be unique and appealing, the owners made each robot different from each other with a variety of shapes and sizes. One of the robots behind the front desk is designed to look like a dinosaur, "If you want to check in, push one." the dinosaur says. Then the guest can type the information on a touch panel screen. Inside the room, there's a small robot called Tuly in the shape of a pink tulip(郁金香). Tuly can answer simple questions like "what time is it?" and "What will the weather be like tomorrow?" With no switches on the wall, Tuly can also turn the room lights on or off if it's told to.
But how do things like check-in and room access work? Well, the screen at the reception captures and registers a digital image of the guest's face during check-in which is used to get access 10 rooms instead of traditional keys. However, the reception shall also provide you card keys on request in case you wish to keep it subtle!
If you're wondering what happens in the case of an emergency, you need not worry. Humans
do step in when it's of great importance. According to the hotels website, there are a few human staff members who are available on-call 24X7 and help guests in the case of an emergency.
32. The robots in the Henn Na Hotel can do the following things for the guests EXCEPT
A. tell the breakfast menu
B. control the lights in the room
C. play music in the lounge
D. respond to all the requirements
33. What can we learn from the passage?
A. TheHenn Na Hotel is managed all by robots.
B. A dinosaur-like robot will guide guests to check.
C. No human staff can be connected even in an emergency.
D. Guests can have access to rooms by using traditional keys.
34. It can be inferred that the owners of the hotel
A. entertain the guests all the time in person
B. are imaginative and have creative thinking
C. are knowledgeable and acquire advanced technology
D. attach great importance to the social image of the hotel
35. What's the main idea of this passage?
A. It advocates people to promote hotel equipment
B. It compares the robots with human staff in a hotel.
C. It introduces a new hotel staffed by intelligent robots
D. It describes how wonderful artificial intelligence is

I’m walking on a path in the forest in the Central African Republic. Unexpectedly, I’m face-to-face with the gorilla, who begins screaming at 2 top of her lungs. That makes her baby scream, and then a 400-pound male appears. He screams the 3 (loud) of all. The noise shakes the trees as the male beats his chest and charges toward me. I quickly lower myself, ducking my head to avoid 4 (look) directly into his eyes so he doesn’t feel 5 (challenge). My name is Mireya Mayor. I’m a 6 (science) who studies animals such as apes and monkeys. I was searching 7 these three western lowland gorillas I’d been observing. No one had seen them for hours, and my colleagues and I were worried. When the gorillas and I frightened each other, I was just glad to find 8 (they) alive. True to a gorilla’s unaggressive nature, the huge animal 9 (mean) me no real harm.

While regularly eating out seems to 6 (become) common for many young people in recent years, it’s not without a cost. The obvious one is money; eating out once or twice a week may be 7 (afford) but doing this most days adds up. There could be an even 8 (high) cost on your health. Researchers have found that there is a direct link between the increase in food eaten outside the home and the rise in 9 (weigh) problems. If you are not going to suffer this problem, then I suggest that the next time you go to your mum’s home 10 dinner, get a few cooking tips from her. Cooking food can be fun.

阅读理解试题库及答案
Passage 1 CBBCC If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are. Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety. The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge. The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly. With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”. In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others? 1. While taking a taxi in Finland, _____ A. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driver B. a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi ride C. a passenger can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wants to go D. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration before they leave without paying 2. We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland_____ A. provide meal for only those who live in the hotels B. provide meals for any diners C. provide free wine and charge for food D. are mostly poorly managed 3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. The workers in Finland are paid by the hour. B. The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees. C. The workers are always honest with their working hours. D. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay. 4. The word “those” in the last paragraph probably refers to _____ A. people who often take taxis B. people who often have meals in big hotels C. people who are dishonest D. people who are worthy of trust

It also contains your spine cord, a massive collection of nerves conveying electric signals from the rest of your body to your brain. 36 . Maintaining good posture is one of the most important things you can do to keep your spine healthy. Proper posture means standing or sitting while keeping your spine straight, except for its natural curves. Posture comes into play even when you are asleep. Sleeping on your side puts less stress on your spine than most other positions. 37 . Especially if you work at a desk most of the day, it’s important to get up and stretch regularly. 38 . Stretch can help the muscles around your spine relax and allow bones to shift into better arrangement. Strength exercises like push-ups (俯卧撑) can also help by strengthening the muscles around your spine. However, don’t overdo the exercise, as repeated movements can strain the muscles around your spine. Finally, your diet affects the health of your spine because many vitamins are necessary for bones and nerves. In particular, vitamins B and D are essential to keep bones healthy, so you may want to consider taking a supplement. 39 , so it is also helpful to do some of the back exercise outside. Many of the actions necessary to keep your spine healthy are identical to those used to preserve your health in other ways. 40 . A. It can be hard on your back to stay still for too long B. So, to have a healthy spine, you should take the following factors into account C. Try the following exercises to keep your spine more flexible D. So protect your back, the rest of the body will benefit E. Exercise is also an important factor in your spine’s health F. Doing yoga to protect your spine is also a necessary step G.

浙江省杭州市萧山区第三高级中学高三英语限时训练1月日 含答案
A Famous centenarians (百岁老人) still active in arts, science are in no mood to retire. "Those who stand still, die," is one of Oliveira's favorite phrases. He knows from experience what it means, as the Portuguese film director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his profession. Every year, Oliveira shoots a film and is currently working on his next project. "You have to work, work, work in order to forget that death is not far away," he said. When asked about his age, Oliveira said with some humility: "It's down to mother nature. It gave to me what it took from others." Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to do with character. Not every white-haired person is wise and social skills, openness and the ability to train the brain are essential for senior citizens. Along with the architect Oscar Niemeyer (103), Nobel laureate Montalcini (101) and director Kurt Maetzig (100), Oliveira is one of those people of whom it would be very wrong to think as members of a listless elderly generation. Another master in his profession is the architect Oscar Niemeyer. The 103-year-old Brazilian is best known for his futuristic-looking（未来派的）buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the poor. "The role of the architect is to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of architecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged few," said Niemeyer recently. He spends almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on ideas: After a gallbladder (胆囊) operation he composed a samba tune (桑巴舞曲) in the clinic. Another man who could sing a song about age is 107-year-old Heesters. The Dutch-born opera singer spent most of his life performing in Germany, where he still works. Recently Heesters said: "I want to be at least 108-years-old." He also plans to keep performing. "Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?" Heesters has not given up trying to add to his tally of awards and is looking for a "good stage role". Italian scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini, who is 101-year-old and is still active in medical science, has described the force that keeps driving her on: "Progress is created through imperfection."

“煮书” 爷爷的书房里挂着一张条幅，上面写着“煮书”两个苍劲有力的大字，我感到很奇怪：书只能读，怎么可以煮呢？ 一天，爷爷刚刚写完一篇文章，正坐在藤椅上品茶。我指着条幅问爷爷：“书怎么可以煮呢？书放锅里煮，不是要煮坏了吗？” 爷爷笑了说书是精神食粮嘛既是食粮怎么不可以煮呢煮熟了 吃下去才好消化吸收嘛 爷爷看见我疑惑不解的样子，便接着说：“你知道唐代诗人杜甫吧？他小时候读书，就能反复诵读品味，非把书读透不可。其实，这就是‘煮书’。这样，他做起诗来就感到得心应手了。所以他说：‘读书破万卷，下笔如有神’。我们学习语文，对那些好的文章也应该这么‘煮’，否则，就很难把语文学好。” “爷爷，你看我该怎么‘煮书’呢？” “你可以从‘煮’语文书入手嘛。语文课文都是范文，每天清晨起来，放声读上几遍，仔细品味一番，多有意思！这样煮下去，你不仅能体会到文章的情感，还可以牢记妙词佳句……好处可多啦。肚子里的词儿多了，今后说话和写文章还会犯愁吗？” 爷爷的话使我豁然开朗，“煮书”还真有道理哩！ 1. 从短文中找出与下面意思相近的词语，写在括号里。 A. 指心里不明白，不相信。（） B. 形容运用自如，心里怎么想，手就能怎么做。（） C. 形容开阔或通达，一下子就明白了。（） 2. 阅读短文后填空。 （1）使“我”感到奇怪的问题是（）。 （2）“我”认为“煮书”是。而爷爷说的“煮书”是指（）。 （3）“煮书”的好处是（）。 3. 给第三自然段加上标点符号。 4. 写出你对“读书破万卷，下笔如有神”的理解。 竺可桢的故事 竺可桢不仅爱学习，还爱用脑子思考问题。家乡雨水特别多，屋檐上老是滴水，落在石板上发出“滴滴答答”的响声。竺可桢站在一旁数那滴答作响的水滴，数着数着，他像发现了奇迹，眼睛盯住石板出神，他心里纳闷：哎，这些石板上
