一、任务型阅读
1．任务型阅读
I work as a meteorologist(气象学家) in Tampa, Florida. It's my job to follow hurricanes(飓风) and provide information about them to scientists.
I was working for the National Meteorological Office in Bracknell, near London, in the autumn of 1995, and I saw a documentary called Stormchasers with family. Two months later I came across an ad for a meteorologist to work in Florida. I was interviewed over the phone, moved to the US, and started to work here in Tampa in May 1996.
I have been all over the world hunting hurricanes. It's exciting to end up in different cities and different countries day after day. If you are a meteorologist, you have to love flying. I also love working with top scientists. For me, it's like a classroom in the sky.
People often ask me what an average day is like. In fact, there's no such thing as an average day in my job! We often take off at a moment's notice to hunt storms.
Next, I would like to join a space program and be the first meteorologist in space. There aren't any hurricanes!
If you also want to be a meteorologist, study math and science and get a degree in meteorology. I have taken the hurricane hunter path, but you could do research.
A. I have learned so much from them.
B. What I like most about my job is the travel.
C. It's a wonderful job and the pay is pretty good.
D. It all depends on the weather, and you can't control that.
E. However, I haven't come up with an experiment to do in space yet.
F. Because of the job, I'm away from my family who all live in the UK.
G. It was about hurricane hunters and I thought, "Wow, that's an interesting job!"
2．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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A. Would you like them to stop B. Would you mind explaining that again C. It is difficult to deal with people who are angry at you. D. If so, maybe people think that your English isn't polite. E. It can often be difficult to refuse an invitation from a friend. F. It will get the result you want and there won't be any trouble! G. You're really busy at work, but your workmate needs your help.
Did you once make you friends angry or unhappy because of your words Are you having trouble getting people to reply to your requests Learn how to say things the right way with this great guide!
Could you give me five minutes vs Go away.
When you're busy and can't do anything else, just saying "Go away" is certainly not right. You can keep everyone happy by saying "Could you give me five minutes "
Excuse me. vs Move.
Telling someone to "Move out of the way" is very impolite. The next time someone is in your way, saying "Excuse me" is a good idea.
I'm afraid I can't. vs No.
People will think it impolite to simply say "No". The next time you have to refuse an invitation, you'd better say, "I'm afraid I can't."
Would you mind... vs Stop it!
Someone doing something you don't like, and perhaps being impolite. To get the result you want, it's not a good idea to shout "Stop talking on your phone in the cinema!" and it's a good choice to ask them politely with the sentence, "Would you mind not using your phone in the cinema, please "

Can you imagine being able to remember every single experience of your life and every word in your favorite book That's what Becky's life is like, and as wonderful as it sounds, it can also be quite terrifying at times.
Three years ago, Becky was reading a newspaper article which mentioned that it was impossible for people to remember the details of their life in the first three years. "What nonsense(胡说八道)!" she thought, because she could clearly remember her life all the way back to when she was just 12 days old. Her parents had carried her to the driver's seat of their car and laid her down for a photo. But it wasn't nonsense. She was just one of only 80 known people who have a condition called HSAM (Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory).
Becky's unusual condition was recently shown on a program called 60 minutes, where reporter Allison tested her ability by asking her questions about her favorite book series, Harry Potter. Allison would pick up a book and open a page and read her a line. Immediately Becky would name the book, chapter number, chapter name and could recite every word until Allison told her to stop.
Being able to remember every little detail is a great ability, but as every person with HSAM will tell you, it can be very hard to deal with. Forgetting is one of the things we use to get over sad experiences in our lives, but it's something that people like Becky are unable to do. Even walking on the street and lightly bumping(撞) into somebody brings back memories from Becky's childhood, when a boy knocked her over. She's taken right back to that time, living the experience all over again. Also, like Becky, people with HSAM never do well in school, because they have problems filtering(过滤) through all the information, remembering only the important bits.
Becky's special brain could help scientists find a way to treat people with terrible illnesses like Alzheimer's. Her condition could hold the secret to treating or even preventing Alzheimer's.
（1）What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A．What people with HSAM feel like.
B．Why HSAM is unfamiliar to people.
C．How Becky knew she was different.
D．How Becky spent her early childhood.
（2）Why was Becky asked questions on 60 minutes
A．To help treat her illness. B．To advertise Harry Potter.
C．To test her ability to remember. D．To encourage other kids to read.
（3）Which of the following troubles Becky
A．She can't forget her painful experience.
B．She feels tired remembering everything.
C．She can't get along well with other kids.
D．She is different from other kids of her age.
（4）Why does Becky do poorly at school
A．She feels sad every time she studies.
B．She remembers too much information.
C．She can't deal with difficult problems.
D．She can't understand the teacher in class.

You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years
Jane Addams (1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
If it weren't for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world's lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O'Connor (1930-present)
When Sandra Day O'Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员) and, in 1981,the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O'Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil- rights movement. "The only tired I was, was tired of giving in," said Parks.

A．Her social work. B．Her teaching skills.

6．阅读理解
Ask any new college graduate about his immediate goals, and it is likely that he will tell you he wants a job. But it turns out that today's students are not going to be satisfied with any job. According to the latest survey, making a difference through their work is essential(必要的) to young people's happiness.
The survey found that 72 percent of graduating college seniors believe being able to have a positive social influence through their work is essential to their happiness. Making a difference is so important to them that 45 percent say they would take a 15 percent pay cut to work at an organization that has a social or environmental influence, and 58 percent say they would take a pay cut to work for an organization whose values are the same as their own.
Besides this, the survey found that female students are far more likely to put social influence in first place than their male classmates, echoing the results of a former study showing that female maths and science majors are more likely to say they go into those fields to make a difference.
One reason for the emphasis(强调) on improving the world probably has to do with the culture of colleges, which encourages students to connect their studies back to real-world problems. Students are used to discussing important social issues(问题) with their friends and professors, and doing something about them in class or through volunteer activities. Once students develop those habits, they don't shut them off when graduation rolls around.
（1）What does the underlined word "echoing" in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Learning. B．Repeating. C．Believing. D．Creating.
（2）What is one of the reasons for the emphasis on students wanting to improve the world
A．The habits students develop in society.
B．The appearance of important social issues.
C．The encouragement of the culture of colleges.
D．The effect parents' education has on their children.
（3）What can you learn from the passage
A．Young people will surely gain happiness if they can make a difference in their work.
B．Less than half of the college seniors will take a pay cut to work with the same values.
C．Most college graduates believe it important to have a positive social influence in work.
D．Female graduates are all putting more social influence in first place than male graduates.
（4）Which could be the best title for the passage
A．Female Students Are Concerned about Society
B．Young People's Happiness Doesn't Depend on Money
C．Graduates Become More Interested in Challenging Jobs
D．Many Graduates Would Take a Pay Cut to Make a Difference
7．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Chinese high school students have the longest study hours compared to their peers (同龄人) in Japan, the US and the Republic of Korea, a survey conducted by the four countries said.
The survey, released by the China Youth and Children Research Center (CYCRC) on Monday, was jointly conducted with institutions in the four countries in September—October of 2008. It covers nearly 4, 000 students in senior high schools and vocational high schools in the four countries.
About 78.3 percent of Chinese students said they spend more than eight hours at school and 56.7 percent said they study at least two more hours each day at home. By contrast, only 24.7 percent of their peers in the US, 20.5 percent in Japan and 15.4 percent in Korea study more than two hours after school.
Around 60 percent of all students surveyed said their burden for studies was the heaviest; however, the Japanese felt their burden was the worst with respondents (应答者) reaching 79.2 percent.
Among the five biggest headaches for young people in the four countries were: over—scheduling ranked first, followed by a boring leisure life, unsatisfied appearance, little time for exercise and making friends, and no spare money.
"Moderate (适度的) study pressure can better drive students to develop, however, too much will squeeze (挤) their development space, and can even cause harm to their physical and psychological health," the survey said.
"Balancing their studies and all-round development is a very important task," it said.
（1）What would be the best title for the text
A．Chinese High School Students Study More
B．High School Students Need More Rest
C．Heavy Burdens of High School Students
D．Big Headaches of High School Students

8．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
The world we live in gets more mechanized every year. Some countries which were mainly agricultural a hundred years ago have now become industrial. New factories and towns have been built on good agricultural land. There are now fewer farms to serve a much greater population, so these farms must be more efficient in order to produce as much food as possible. There is no place in the modern agricultural world for the inefficient farmer. Unfortunately, many of the picturesque aspects of farming are disappearing in the search for efficiency. The more tractors are used, the fewer horses are needed. Everyone agrees that horses are far more pleasant to look at than tractors. But they are less efficient. Cows are usually milked by machinery nowadays, and even pigs are fed automatically. There is not much art or poetry on the modern farm, and the old traditional idea of a farm as a slow, peaceful, romantic place is totally wrong nowadays.
The modern farmer has to be a mechanic, a scientist, an accountant and a gambler. The more mechanized farming becomes, the more expert the farmer has to be. He must understand what machinery is necessary for his kind of farm, and he must know how to use it efficiently. He must also understand the new technical advances in agriculture, and how to use chemical and synthetic products to improve his crops. The more workers a farmer employs, the more he must know about the problems of wages and taxes. As in any other industry, most modern farmers find it necessary to employ office staff to deal with these. But although he has more modern equipments and far more scientific aids than his grandfather had, the farmer is still dependent upon the weather. As he can never be sure what the weather will do, he must be prepared to take risks, and face the possibility of losing everything.
（1）The underlined word "mechanic" means ________.
A．a skilled farmer
B．a skilled person in using and repairing
C．a worker
D．a driver
（2）Why the idea of a farm as a slow, peaceful, romantic place is wrong nowadays
A．Because nowadays, the world gets more mechanized.
B．Because cows are usually milked by machinery and pigs are fed automatically.
C．The fewer horses are needed.
D．No farm needs the inefficient farmer.
（3）How to explain "The more mechanized farming becomes, the more expert the farmer has to be"
A．With the development of agriculture, it needs farmers to become a skilled man to operate those agricultural machines.
B．With the development of agriculture, the farmer should be an accountant.
C．With the development of agriculture, the farmer should be mechanized.
D．With the development of agriculture, the farmer has to be a driver.
（4）Which of the following is NOT TRUE
A．The weather is a very important factor in agriculture.
B．It's necessary for modern farmers to have modern equipments.
C．The farmers don't have to know about their wages and taxes today.
D．Nowadays, it's necessary for farmers to use office staff.

4．【答案】（1）C
（2）C
（3）A
（4）D
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，Becky患有一种神奇的超忆症，她可以对任何事情做到过目不忘，这给她的生活和学习带来了一些困扰，但是贝基的案例有助于科学家找到治疗老年痴呆症的方法。
（1）考查段落大意。根据第二段中的“Three years ago, Becky was reading a newspaper article which mentioned that it was impossible for people to remember the details of their life in the first three years.‘What nonsense(胡说八道)!’ she thought, because she could clearly remember her life all the way back to when she was just 12 days old. Her parents had carried her to the driver's seat of their car and laid her down for a photo. But it wasn't nonsense. She was just one of only 80 known people who have a condition called HSAM (Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory).”三年前，Becky在报纸上读到一篇文章，其中提到人们不可能记住他们四岁前生活的细节。“胡说八道。”她想，因为她可以清楚地回忆起自己出生十二天的生活。她的父母把她抱到驾驶座上，让她躺下来拍照。但这并非无稽之谈。她是已知的80位患有HSAM的患者之一。由此可知，这一段主要讲了Becky是怎么知道她与众不同的，故选C。
（2）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Becky's unusual condition was recently shown on a program called 60 minutes, where reporter Allison tested her ability by asking her questions about her favorite book series, Harry Potter.”可知在60 minutes节目中，Becky被问问题，是为了测试她的记忆力，故选C。
（3）考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段中的“Even walking on the street and lightly bumping(撞) into somebody brings back memories from Becky's childhood, when a boy knocked her over. She's taken right back to that time, living the experience all over again.”即使走在街上，轻轻撞到一个人，也会让Becky想起自己的童年，那时一个男孩把她撞倒了。她又回到了那个时代，重新体验了一次。可推断出最让Becky烦恼的事情是她忘不了她的痛苦经历，故选A。
（4）考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的“Also, like Becky, people with HSAM never do well in school, because they have problems filtering(过滤) through all the information, remembering only the important bits.”可知不管任何事情，Becky都记得一清二楚。这也让她的学习不好，因为她脑中储存了太多的信息，以至于让她对所学的重要书本知识的理解和提取有些困难，故选B。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和段落大意三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

【分析】本文是一篇人物传记，介绍了Jane Addams、Rachel Carson、Sandra Day O'Connor、Rosa Parks四位在社会工作、环境保护、反对性别歧视以及人权运动方面做出了很大贡献的先驱者的相关事迹。
（1）考查细节理解。根据Jane Addams (1860-1935)部分中的“Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace.”可知受到社工帮助过的人都要感谢Jane Addams，因为正是她建立庇护所并为需要帮助的人提供教育和服务，以培养人们的团体意识。她也由此获得了诺贝尔奖。她是因为社会工作而被历史铭记的。故选A。
（2）考查推理判断。根据 Sandra Day O'Connor (1930-present)部分中的“When Sandra Day O'Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman.”可知当O'Connor完成大学学业时候，却因为自己是女性找不到律师事务所的工作。说明当时有歧视女性的现象。故选C。
（3）考查细节理解。根据 Rosa Parks (1913-2005)部分中的“But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement.”可知正是Rosa Parks的不愿意让座给白人引发了美国的人权运动。故选D。
（4）考查推理判断。文章里提到的四位杰出女性在社会工作、环境保护、反对性别歧视以及人权运动方面做出了很大的贡献，都是先驱者。故选C。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇人物类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。

（2）C
（3）C
（4）D
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，通过工作能有一个积极的社会影响对年轻人的幸福至关重要。
（1）考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的“Besides this, the survey found that female students are far more likely to put social influence in first place than their male classmates”除此之外，调查发现女生比男生更有可能把社会影响放在第一位；以及“the results of a former study showing that female maths and science majors are more likely to say they go into those fields to make a difference.”以前的一项研究结果显示，数学和科学专业女学生所占的比例更有可能说她们进入这些领域是为了有所作为，可以推断出两项调查的结果是一致的。都说明了女性更愿意在工作中做出影响。故选B。
（2）考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“One reason for the emphasis(强调) on improving the world probably has to do with the culture of colleges, which encourages students to connect their studies back to real-world problems.”强调改善世界的一个原因可能与大学文化有关，大学文化鼓励学生将他们的学习与现实世界的问题联系起来。故选C。
（3）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“The survey found that 72 percent of graduating college seniors believe being able to have a positive social influence through their work is essential to their happiness.”调查发现，72% 的大学毕业生认为通过工作产生积极的社会影响对他们的幸福至关重要。可知，多数的毕业生都认可工作产生的社会影响对他们而言是重要的。故选C。
（4）考查主旨大意。通过第一段的调查结论得出：通过工作产生积极的社会影响对他们的幸福至关重要。所以，文章主要阐述年轻人的幸福取决于在工作中改变世界；再根据第二段中的“Making a difference is so important to them that 45 percent say they would take a 15 percent pay cut to work at an organization that has a social or environmental influence, and 58 percent say they would take a pay cut to work for an organization whose values are the same as their own.”对他们来说，改变世界是如此重要，以至于45% 的人说他们愿意接受15% 的减薪去为一个对社会或环境有影响的组织工作，58% 的人说他们愿意接受减薪去一个与他们价值观相同的组织工作。综上所述，选D。

一、任务型阅读
1．任务型阅读
I work as a meteorologist(气象学家) in Tampa, Florida. It's my job to follow hurricanes(飓风) and provide information about them to scientists.
I was working for the National Meteorological Office in Bracknell, near London, in the autumn of 1995, and I saw a documentary called Stormchasers with family. Two months later I came across an ad for a meteorologist to work in Florida. I was interviewed over the phone, moved to the US, and started to work here in Tampa in May 1996.
I have been all over the world hunting hurricanes. It's exciting to end up in different cities and different countries day after day. If you are a meteorologist, you have to love flying. I also love working with top scientists. For me, it's like a classroom in the sky.
People often ask me what an average day is like. In fact, there's no such thing as an average day in my job! We often take off at a moment's notice to hunt storms.
Next, I would like to join a space program and be the first meteorologist in space. There aren't any hurricanes!
If you also want to be a meteorologist, study math and science and get a degree in meteorology. I have taken the hurricane hunter path, but you could do research.
A. I have learned so much from them.
B. What I like most about my job is the travel.
C. It's a wonderful job and the pay is pretty good.
D. It all depends on the weather, and you can't control that.
E. However, I haven't come up with an experiment to do in space yet.
F. Because of the job, I'm away from my family who all live in the UK.
G. It was about hurricane hunters and I thought, "Wow, that's an interesting job!"
2．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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A. Would you like them to stop B. Would you mind explaining that again C. It is difficult to deal with people who are angry at you. D. If so, maybe people think that your English isn't polite. E. It can often be difficult to refuse an invitation from a friend. F. It will get the result you want and there won't be any trouble! G. You're really busy at work, but your workmate needs your help.
Did you once make you friends angry or unhappy because of your words Are you having trouble getting people to reply to your requests Learn how to say things the right way with this great guide!
Could you give me five minutes vs Go away.
When you're busy and can't do anything else, just saying "Go away" is certainly not right. You can keep everyone happy by saying "Could you give me five minutes "
Excuse me. vs Move.
Telling someone to "Move out of the way" is very impolite. The next time someone is in your way, saying "Excuse me" is a good idea.
I'm afraid I can't. vs No.
People will think it impolite to simply say "No". The next time you have to refuse an invitation, you'd better say, "I'm afraid I can't."
Would you mind... vs Stop it!
Someone doing something you don't like, and perhaps being impolite. To get the result you want, it's not a good idea to shout "Stop talking on your phone in the cinema!" and it's a good choice to ask them politely with the sentence, "Would you mind not using your phone in the cinema, please "

Can you imagine being able to remember every single experience of your life and every word in your favorite book That's what Becky's life is like, and as wonderful as it sounds, it can also be quite terrifying at times.
Three years ago, Becky was reading a newspaper article which mentioned that it was impossible for people to remember the details of their life in the first three years. "What nonsense(胡说八道)!" she thought, because she could clearly remember her life all the way back to when she was just 12 days old. Her parents had carried her to the driver's seat of their car and laid her down for a photo. But it wasn't nonsense. She was just one of only 80 known people who have a condition called HSAM (Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory).
Becky's unusual condition was recently shown on a program called 60 minutes, where reporter Allison tested her ability by asking her questions about her favorite book series, Harry Potter. Allison would pick up a book and open a page and read her a line. Immediately Becky would name the book, chapter number, chapter name and could recite every word until Allison told her to stop.
Being able to remember every little detail is a great ability, but as every person with HSAM will tell you, it can be very hard to deal with. Forgetting is one of the things we use to get over sad experiences in our lives, but it's something that people like Becky are unable to do. Even walking on the street and lightly bumping(撞) into somebody brings back memories from Becky's childhood, when a boy knocked her over. She's taken right back to that time, living the experience all over again. Also, like Becky, people with HSAM never do well in school, because they have problems filtering(过滤) through all the information, remembering only the important bits.
Becky's special brain could help scientists find a way to treat people with terrible illnesses like Alzheimer's. Her condition could hold the secret to treating or even preventing Alzheimer's.
（1）What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A．What people with HSAM feel like.
B．Why HSAM is unfamiliar to people.
C．How Becky knew she was different.
D．How Becky spent her early childhood.
（2）Why was Becky asked questions on 60 minutes
A．To help treat her illness. B．To advertise Harry Potter.
C．To test her ability to remember. D．To encourage other kids to read.
（3）Which of the following troubles Becky
A．She can't forget her painful experience.
B．She feels tired remembering everything.
C．She can't get along well with other kids.
D．She is different from other kids of her age.
（4）Why does Becky do poorly at school
A．She feels sad every time she studies.
B．She remembers too much information.
C．She can't deal with difficult problems.
D．She can't understand the teacher in class.

You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years
Jane Addams (1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
If it weren't for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world's lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O'Connor (1930-present)
When Sandra Day O'Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员) and, in 1981,the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O'Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil- rights movement. "The only tired I was, was tired of giving in," said Parks.

Ask any new college graduate about his immediate goals, and it is likely that he will tell you he wants a job. But it turns out that today's students are not going to be satisfied with any job. According to the latest survey, making a difference through their work is essential(必要的) to young people's happiness.
The survey found that 72 percent of graduating college seniors believe being able to have a positive social influence through their work is essential to their happiness. Making a difference is so important to them that 45 percent say they would take a 15 percent pay cut to work at an organization that has a social or environmental influence, and 58 percent say they would take a pay cut to work for an organization whose values are the same as their own.
Besides this, the survey found that female students are far more likely to put social influence in first place than their male classmates, echoing the results of a former study showing that female maths and science majors are more likely to say they go into those fields to make a difference.
One reason for the emphasis(强调) on improving the world probably has to do with the culture of colleges, which encourages students to connect their studies back to real-world problems. Students are used to discussing important social issues(问题) with their friends and professors, and doing something about them in class or through volunteer activities. Once students develop those habits, they don't shut them off when graduation rolls around.
（1）What does the underlined word "echoing" in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Learning. B．Repeating. C．Believing. D．Creating.
（2）What is one of the reasons for the emphasis on students wanting to improve the world
A．The habits students develop in society.
B．The appearance of important social issues.
C．The encouragement of the culture of colleges.
D．The effect parents' education has on their children.
（3）What can you learn from the passage
A．Young people will surely gain happiness if they can make a difference in their work.
B．Less than half of the college seniors will take a pay cut to work with the same values.
C．Most college graduates believe it important to have a positive social influence in work.
D．Female graduates are all putting more social influence in first place than male graduates.
（4）Which could be the best title for the passage

Chinese high school students have the longest study hours compared to their peers (同龄人) in Japan, the US and the Republic of Korea, a survey conducted by the four countries said.
The survey, released by the China Youth and Children Research Center (CYCRC) on Monday, was jointly conducted with institutions in the four countries in September—October of 2008. It covers nearly 4, 000 students in senior high schools and vocational high schools in the four countries.
About 78.3 percent of Chinese students said they spend more than eight hours at school and 56.7 percent said they study at least two more hours each day at home. By contrast, only 24.7 percent of their peers in the US, 20.5 percent in Japan and 15.4 percent in Korea study more than two hours after school.
Around 60 percent of all students surveyed said their burden for studies was the heaviest; however, the Japanese felt their burden was the worst with respondents (应答者) reaching 79.2 percent.
Among the five biggest headaches for young people in the four countries were: over—scheduling ranked first, followed by a boring leisure life, unsatisfied appearance, little time for exercise and making friends, and no spare money.
"Moderate (适度的) study pressure can better drive students to develop, however, too much will squeeze (挤) their development space, and can even cause harm to their physical and psychological health," the survey said.
"Balancing their studies and all-round development is a very important task," it said.
（1）What would be the best title for the text
A．Chinese High School Students Study More
B．High School Students Need More Rest

8．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
The world we live in gets more mechanized every year. Some countries which were mainly agricultural a hundred years ago have now become industrial. New factories and towns have been built on good agricultural land. There are now fewer farms to serve a much greater population, so these farms must be more efficient in order to produce as much food as possible. There is no place in the modern agricultural world for the inefficient farmer. Unfortunately, many of the picturesque aspects of farming are disappearing in the search for efficiency. The more tractors are used, the fewer horses are needed. Everyone agrees that horses are far more pleasant to look at than tractors. But they are less efficient. Cows are usually milked by machinery nowadays, and even pigs are fed automatically. There is not much art or poetry on the modern farm, and the old traditional idea of a farm as a slow, peaceful, romantic place is totally wrong nowadays.
The modern farmer has to be a mechanic, a scientist, an accountant and a gambler. The more mechanized farming becomes, the more expert the farmer has to be. He must understand what machinery is necessary for his kind of farm, and he must know how to use it efficiently. He must also understand the new technical advances in agriculture, and how to use chemical and synthetic products to improve his crops. The more workers a farmer employs, the more he must know about the problems of wages and taxes. As in any other industry, most modern farmers find it necessary to employ office staff to deal with these. But although he has more modern equipments and far more scientific aids than his grandfather had, the farmer is still dependent upon the weather. As he can never be sure what the weather will do, he must be prepared to take risks, and face the possibility of losing everything.
（1）The underlined word "mechanic" means ________.
A．a skilled farmer
B．a skilled person in using and repairing
C．a worker
D．a driver
（2）Why the idea of a farm as a slow, peaceful, romantic place is wrong nowadays
A．Because nowadays, the world gets more mechanized.
B．Because cows are usually milked by machinery and pigs are fed automatically.
C．The fewer horses are needed.
D．No farm needs the inefficient farmer.
（3）How to explain "The more mechanized farming becomes, the more expert the farmer has to be"
A．With the development of agriculture, it needs farmers to become a skilled man to operate those agricultural machines.
B．With the development of agriculture, the farmer should be an accountant.
C．With the development of agriculture, the farmer should be mechanized.
D．With the development of agriculture, the farmer has to be a driver.
（4）Which of the following is NOT TRUE
A．The weather is a very important factor in agriculture.
B．It's necessary for modern farmers to have modern equipments.
C．The farmers don't have to know about their wages and taxes today.
D．Nowadays, it's necessary for farmers to use office staff.

【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，Becky患有一种神奇的超忆症，她可以对任何事情做到过目不忘，这给她的生活和学习带来了一些困扰，但是贝基的案例有助于科学家找到治疗老年痴呆症的方法。
（1）考查段落大意。根据第二段中的“Three years ago, Becky was reading a newspaper article which mentioned that it was impossible for people to remember the details of their life in the first three years.‘What nonsense(胡说八道)!’ she thought, because she could clearly remember her life all the way back to when she was just 12 days old. Her parents had carried her to the driver's seat of their car and laid her down for a photo. But it wasn't nonsense. She was just one of only 80 known people who have a condition called HSAM (Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory).”三年前，Becky在报纸上读到一篇文章，其中提到人们不可能记住他们四岁前生活的细节。“胡说八道。”她想，因为她可以清楚地回忆起自己出生十二天的生活。她的父母把她抱到驾驶座上，让她躺下来拍照。但这并非无稽之谈。她是已知的80位患有HSAM的患者之一。由此可知，这一段主要讲了Becky是怎么知道她与众不同的，故选C。
（2）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Becky's unusual condition was recently shown on a program called 60 minutes, where reporter Allison tested her ability by asking her questions about her favorite book series, Harry Potter.”可知在60 minutes节目中，Becky被问问题，是为了测试她的记忆力，故选C。
（3）考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段中的“Even walking on the street and lightly bumping(撞) into somebody brings back memories from Becky's childhood, when a boy knocked her over. She's taken right back to that time, living the experience all over again.”即使走在街上，轻轻撞到一个人，也会让Becky想起自己的童年，那时一个男孩把她撞倒了。她又回到了那个时代，重新体验了一次。可推断出最让Becky烦恼的事情是她忘不了她的痛苦经历，故选A。
（4）考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的“Also, like Becky, people with HSAM never do well in school, because they have problems filtering(过滤) through all the information, remembering only the important bits.”可知不管任何事情，Becky都记得一清二楚。这也让她的学习不好，因为她脑中储存了太多的信息，以至于让她对所学的重要书本知识的理解和提取有些困难，故选B。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和段落大意三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

（1）考查细节理解。根据Jane Addams (1860-1935)部分中的“Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace.”可知受到社工帮助过的人都要感谢Jane Addams，因为正是她建立庇护所并为需要帮助的人提供教育和服务，以培养人们的团体意识。她也由此获得了诺贝尔奖。她是因为社会工作而被历史铭记的。故选A。
（2）考查推理判断。根据 Sandra Day O'Connor (1930-present)部分中的“When Sandra Day O'Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman.”可知当O'Connor完成大学学业时候，却因为自己是女性找不到律师事务所的工作。说明当时有歧视女性的现象。故选C。
（3）考查细节理解。根据 Rosa Parks (1913-2005)部分中的“But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement.”可知正是Rosa Parks的不愿意让座给白人引发了美国的人权运动。故选D。
（4）考查推理判断。文章里提到的四位杰出女性在社会工作、环境保护、反对性别歧视以及人权运动方面做出了很大的贡献，都是先驱者。故选C。

（1）考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的“Besides this, the survey found that female students are far more likely to put social influence in first place than their male classmates”除此之外，调查发现女生比男生更有可能把社会影响放在第一位；以及“the results of a former study showing that female maths and science majors are more likely to say they go into those fields to make a difference.”以前的一项研究结果显示，数学和科学专业女学生所占的比例更有可能说她们进入这些领域是为了有所作为，可以推断出两项调查的结果是一致的。都说明了女性更愿意在工作中做出影响。故选B。
（2）考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“One reason for the emphasis(强调) on improving the world probably has to do with the culture of colleges, which encourages students to connect their studies back to real-world problems.”强调改善世界的一个原因可能与大学文化有关，大学文化鼓励学生将他们的学习与现实世界的问题联系起来。故选C。
（3）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“The survey found that 72 percent of graduating college seniors believe being able to have a positive social influence through their work is essential to their happiness.”调查发现，72% 的大学毕业生认为通过工作产生积极的社会影响对他们的幸福至关重要。可知，多数的毕业生都认可工作产生的社会影响对他们而言是重要的。故选C。
（4）考查主旨大意。通过第一段的调查结论得出：通过工作产生积极的社会影响对他们的幸福至关重要。所以，文章主要阐述年轻人的幸福取决于在工作中改变世界；再根据第二段中的“Making a difference is so important to them that 45 percent say they would take a 15 percent pay cut to work at an organization that has a social or environmental influence, and 58 percent say they would take a pay cut to work for an organization whose values are the same as their own.”对他们来说，改变世界是如此重要，以至于45% 的人说他们愿意接受15% 的减薪去为一个对社会或环境有影响的组织工作，58% 的人说他们愿意接受减薪去一个与他们价值观相同的组织工作。综上所述，选D。
