Ⅳ.阅读理解
(2011年湖北)In today's throw away society,dealing with the city's growing mountain of waste is an increasing challenge for the city council(市议会).
Recently,Edinburgh is faced with the problem of disposing of(处理) about 250,000 million tons of waste a year.Despite different ways to dispose of much of it in a green manner-largely through encouraging recycling-its aging facilities such as the Powderhall landfill do not have the ability to deal with it.
The European Union (EU) has issued a new policy,regulating how such mountains of waste are to be disposed of.The five councils (Edinburgh,East Lothian,West Lothian,Midlothian and Borders) face fines around £18 million a year from 2013 if they don't increase recycling levels and rely less on landfill.With this in mind,the councils got together with the idea of building a large incinerator plant(垃圾焚烧厂) to burn half of the waste produced in their districts.But this plan fell apart after the change of target levels by a new UK governemnt waste policy which required that no more than 25% of the city's waste should be disposed of in this way by 2025.
After the plan was abandoned,a private company which already transported millions of tons of the city's waste by train to a landfill site near Dunbar,offered an alternative solution when it suggested opening a huge waste site near Portobello.
Since Powderhall is supposed to close in 2015,it seemed necessary for the members of the Edinburgh Council to accept the suggestion.But soon they turned it down-after 700 local objections reached them-because it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud noise through heavily populated areas.
That still leaves the council with a problem.By 2013,only 50% of 1995 levels of waste will be allowed to be sent to landfill.Even if recycling targets are met,there will still be a large amount of rubbish to be burnt up.Due to this,Edinburgh and Midlothian councils have now decided to work together to build an incinerator plant as time to find a solution is fast running out.

(2012年辽宁卷,B)Astronauts on shorter shuttle missions(使命) often work very long days.Tasks are scheduled so tightly that break times are often used to finish the day's work.This type of schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station (ISS).ISS crewmembers usually live in space for at least a quarter of a year.They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible.Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework.They can communicate with family and friends by email,internet,phone and through private video conferences.
While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit,there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy.Before a mission,the family and friends of each ISS crewmember put together a collection of family photos,messages,videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth.During their mission,the crew also receives care packages with CDs,books,magazines,photos and letters.And as from early 2010,the internet became available on the ISS,giving astronauts the chance to do some “web surfing(冲浪)” in their personal time.Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments,astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space.
Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out the window and stare at the universe and the Earth.Both the shuttle and the ISS circle the planet several times each day,and every moment offers a new view of the Earth's vast land mass and oceans.
16.What does the word “mimic” in Paragraph 1 probably mean

(2012年深圳市高三调研)As the forceful king of Macedonia (马其顿),Alexander the Great overthrew the Persian Empire,becoming a hero that would survive centuries after his death.
Born in 356 B.C.,Alexander Ⅲ was the son of Philip Ⅱ and Olympias.Alexander's parents wanted him to receive the finest education,and arranged for him to study under Aristotle,regarded as one of the greatest scholars.
Alexander's father was a strong leader.Philip Ⅱ built an impressive army and established the Macedonian kingdom;he was even planning to attack Persia shortly before his death.
In 336 B.C.,Philip Ⅱ was murdered by one of his guards.Although it was obvious that the guard had a personal hatred,there were clues that other people were related to it.
After Alexander was cleared as a suspect,he succeeded his father without opposition,and killed those said to be responsible for his father's murder,as well as all rivals.He was then just 20 years old.He then prepared to attack Persia.
In the spring of 334 B.C.,Alexander led the army made up of nearly 50,000 soldiers into Asia,which is called “the most powerful military expedition(远征) ever to leave Greece”.He soundly defeated the Persian army at the Granicus River,sending a strong message to Darius Ⅲ,leader of the Persian Empire.
In 333 B.C.,Alexander faced Darius at Issus,a mountain pass.The Macedonian army was greatly outnumbered but able to work the narrow mountain passageway to their advantage.Darius managed to escape.Continuing down the Mediterranean Coast,Alexander took every city in his path.
In 332 B.C. Alexander declared Egypt to be part of the Greek Empire and was crowned Pharaoh(法老).
When Alexander left Egypt in 331 B.C.,he defeated the Persians again and was crowned leader of Asia.
In 323 B.C.,however,Alexander developed a fever on the way back home and died 10 days later at Babylon.He was just 33 years old.

“Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move,” said David Belle,the cofounder of parkour(跑酷).
Do you love running?It is a good exercise,yet many people find it boring.But what if making your morning jog a creative one?Like jumping from walls and over gaps and ground rolls?Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale?Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way.It is just because of Bond's wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.
Yes,that's parkour,an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible,getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body.Parkour is considered an extreme sport.As its participants dash around a city,they may jump over fences,run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.
Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds,but its participants see parkour much more than that.
Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy(哲理) behind parkour.This is the same as life.You must determine your destination,go straight,and jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life,to reach the destinatiion successfully.A parkour lover said,“I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life,my way to do everything.”
Another philosophy we've learnt from parkour is freedom.It can be done by anyone,at any time,anywhere in the world.It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.

(2011年大纲卷)“I didn't hear them call my name,” explained Shelley Henning to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004.“Are you ready?” is what she heard.Then she said,“I shook my head no,and then they said ‘yes’ and it was announced again.”
It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen year old high school student from Destrehan,Louisiana-she was still on_cloud_nine.
“I was so shocked!I never believed that it could actually really happen.”Present in the audience(观众) that day were:her mother and father,older brother,her friends,and her dance teacher.
Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there,AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete(比赛).“She's always been my role model.I've danced with her since I was six.She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all.I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her.”
One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident.He was 18.She found writing helped her get through the rough days.She said,“I write a lot about my brother.I writer a lot,a lot,a lot...”
As Miss Louisiana Teen,she traveled around the state speaking to teens(青少年) about the dangers of drinking and driving.In her role as Miss Teen USA,Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving,in addition to many other things to help the youth.
When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers,she said,“Don't let anyone change you.Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself.That way,it is easy to be yourself.”

Ⅲ.阅读理解
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。
My students often tell me that they do not have “enough time” to do all their homework.My response often is “You have as much time as the president.”I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty four hours in the day for everyone,and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.
Once in graduate school,I tried to prove to my professor that I was working hard.His answer was “That's irrelevant(不相干).What's important is the quality of your work.”That led me to a new idea:the quality of the work,which is perhaps best explained in a sign:“Don't_work_harder.Work smarter.”
If you can't get more time,as few of us can,the only solution is to improve the quality of your work.That means improving ways to get more out of the same time.That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits,which for students should be read as “study habits”.
Then as a smart student,you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study,chiefly reading and writing.If you can,it will pay off in all your subjects.
As to improving reading,one suggestion is to take a quick nap when you feel reading puts you to sleep,which later helps you read better.The second solution is to speed up.
But there are other issues.First,you need to find a place where you can work without unnecessary disturbances.Second,you need to take control.Success depends on realizing that you have to take active control over what you are doing.Third,you might as well get hold of a good book on reading and master the reading skills that pay off in all your classes.
Talking about advice on good writing habits,you simply have to master the writing skills.
Increasing your efficiency in both reading and writing will pay off immediately in terms of the quality of your work and in terms of the time spent doing it.Then you will be able to do better work in less time.And maybe you will find time to play golf with the president.
36.What's the main idea of the passage
A.In fact,everyone has as much time as the president.
B.The key to having enough time is to improve work quality.
C.Reading and writing matter a lot in finishing homework.
D.Not having enough time is unacceptable for unfinished work.

A.improve reading and writing skills
B.find a quiet place to read and write
C.take control over his or her work
D.read and write in all classes
解析:由文章的第四段的内容可知本题选A。
答案:A
39.According to the passage,“Don't work harder” means that ________.
A.one should not be more devoted to one's work
B.one should not spend more time in working
C.working harder is not allowed in our daily life
D.working harder is not the key point in work
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段的最后一句可知本题选B。

答案:B
22.A.angrily B.carelessly

C.complaining D.shouting
解析:他仍然“微笑”着问候学生。此处与上文的“...with a boyish smile...”相呼应。
答案:A
24.A.active B.curious

答案:D
25.A.sound B.shock
C.interruption D.blow

答案:B
32.A.discussing B.speaking
C.cheating D.sleeping

Ⅲ.阅读理解
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。
A
That summer an army of crickets(蟋蟀) started a war with my father.Dad didn't care for insects much more than Mamma,but he could tolerate a few living in the basement.Mamma was a city girl and she said a cricket was just too noisy.Then to prove her point she wouldn't go to bed.She drank coffee and smoked my father's cigarettes and paced between the sofa and the TV.Next morning she threatened to pack up and leave,so Dad drove to the store and hurried back.He sprayed poison from a jug.When he was finished he told us that was the end of it.
For a couple of weeks we went back to find dead crickets in the laundry.He suggested that we'd all be better off to hide as many as we could from Mamma.I fed a few dozen to the cat who I didn't like because it scratched for no reason.
However,soon live crickets started showing up in the kitchen and bathroom.Mamma was upset because she thought the dead crickets came back,but Dad said these were certainly new ones.He fetched his jug of poison and sprayed all over until the whole house smelled of poison,and then he sprayed the basement again.
A couple of weeks later,when both live and dead crickets kept turning up,Dad emptied the basement of junk.Then he burned a lot of old newspapers and magazines which he said the crickets had turned into nests.
While we ate supper that evening,the wind lifted some flames onto the wood pile.The only gasoline was in the lawn mower's(割草机) fuel tank but that was enough to create an explosion big enough to reach the house.Once the roof caught,there wasn't much anyone could do.
After the fire truck left,Mamma took the others to Aunt Gail's.I helped Dad and Uncle Burt carry things out of the house and pile them by the road.We worked into the night and we didn't talk much,while all around the noise of crickets broke our silence.
【语篇解读】 作者的爸爸因迫于作者的妈妈施加的压力与蟋蟀展开了一场大战,虽然毒死了一些蟋蟀,但是最终损失惨重,笑到最后的仍然是那些鸣叫不已的蟋蟀。
