第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A (2013江西省景德镇)
When a baby is seven months old, he or she can already feel, hear, taste, smell and see. As a new mother, you should know that your child is ready to learn about the world from birth.
Touch. One of the most important means of communicating a mother has with her baby is touch. Babies enjoy gentle touch and rhythmic（有节奏的） movement.While inside the mother, the baby is used to being rocked by the mother’s movements. After birth, the same rocking movements comfort him or her. Crying babies often become quiet by being put close to the mother’s body and gently rocked. Even the most common activities—feeding and bathing the baby, or walking with the baby in your arms—improve the baby’s sense of touch and movement.
Smell and Taste. Even at birth, babies show that they can tell apart different kinds of smells by turning away from unpleasant ones.They quickly learn to recognize familiar smells, especially their mothers’. Although their taste organs aren’t completely developed, they can tell sweet from sour and much prefer the former.
Hearing. A baby listens to your voice, your heartbeat, breathing and so on.When his or her head is pressed against your chest, those familiar sounds are comforting, and many babies fall asleep in this position.You may notice that high-pitched（声调高的） voices are more pleasant to babies, so men should raise the pitch of their voices when speaking to them. As a baby gains more control over his or her head movements, it becomes clear that he or she can correctly find the location of a sound source. Loud, sharp noises often upset babies, while soft, rhythmic sounds calm them down. Music boxes, toys that make pleasant sounds and soft music stimulate（激发）the babies’ sense of hearing.
36. According to the passage, a mother should communicate with her baby by________.
A. dancing B. singing C. talking D. touch
37. Which of the following is TRUE about babies?
A. They don’t like the mother’s movements.
B. They can’t tell sweet smells from unpleasant smells.
C. They would be upset by a toy that makes sharp noises.
. D. They’re not sure of where sounds are coming from
38. Men should raise their voices when speaking to babies because________.
A. higher voices are more familiar to babies
B. they need to attract babies’ attention
C. babies can’t hear clearly
D. babies like higher-pitched voices
39. In the next part the author will probably talk about________.
A. the baby’s sense of sight
B. the effect of a mother on her baby
C. how to improve the baby’s senses of smell and taste
D. how the baby’s hearing develops inside the mother
40. The passage is mainly written for________.
A. doctors B. mothers C. children D. fathers
B (2013山东省曲阜师大附中)
　Success is often measured by the ability to overcome adversity（逆境）. But it is often the belief of others that gives us the courage to try.
J. K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter book series, began writing at age 6. Her good friend-Sean became the first person to encourage her and help her build the confidence that one day she would be a very good writer.
“He was the first person with whom I really discussed my serious ambition to be a writer. He was also the only person who thought I was bound to（注定）be a success at it, which meant much more to me than I ever told him at the time.”
Though there were many difficulties, Rowling continued her writing, particularly fantasy stories. But it wasn't until l990 that she first came up with the idea about Harry Potter. As she recalls, it was on a long train journey from London to Manchester that “the idea of Harry Potter simply fell into my head. To my great disappointment, I didn't have a pen with me, and I was too shy to ask anybody if I could borrow one. I think, now, that this was probably a good thing, because I simply sat and thought, for four (delayed train) hours, and all the details came up in my brain, and this thin, black-haired, bespectacled（戴眼镜的）boy who didn't know he was a wizard became more and more real to me.”
That same year, her mother died after a ten-year fight with serious diseases, which deeply affected her writing. She went on to marry and had a daughter, but separated from her husband shortly afterwards.
During this time, Rowling was diagnosed with depression（诊断患有抑郁症）. Unemployed, she finished her first novel in area cafes, where she could get her daughter to fall asleep. After being refused by l2 publishing houses, the first Harry Potter novel was sold to a small British publishing house.
Now with seven books that have sold nearly 400 million copies in 64 languages, J. K. Rowling is the highest earning novelist in history. And it all began with her friend’s encouragement as well as her ambition to write.
41. Who believed J. K. Rowling was to be a good writer?
A. Her friend Sean. B. Her mother. C. Her daughter. D. Her husband.
42. Rowling first came up with the idea about Harry Potter________.
A. at the age of 6 B. on a train journey
C. after her mother's death D. in her secondary school
43. She felt disappointed on the train because_________.
A. her train was delayed for four hours B. she didn't have a pen with her
C. her mind suddenly went blank D. no one would offer her help
44. It can be concluded from Paragraph 5 and 6 that Rowling is_________.
A. open-minded B. warm-hearted C. good-natured D. strong-willed
45. The text mainly tells us_________.
A. adversity makes a good novelist
B. the courage to try is a special ability
C. you can have a wonderful idea everywhere

C (2013山东师大附中期中)
The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means. Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.
Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true.
Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.
The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time.
46. _________, our world is becoming much smaller.
A. Because of the rise in pollution

C. Because the earth is being polluted day and night

C. it makes our rivers and lakes dirty D. it’s bad for all living things in the world
50. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Many countries are making rules to fight pollution.
B. The pollution of the earth grows as fast as the world population does.
C. The problem of pollution is not so serious because there are not so many people on the earth.

A farmer didn’t want his farmhand to stop do his work. One morning, he told the farmhand, “It’s so annoyed to return from the field, wash up to lunch and take time to eat. Why not save time and eat lunch now?” The farmhand agreed. The farmers’ wife brought him some cold meat and fried potatoes, and the two men began to eat. When they had been finished, the farmer said, “While we’re still at table, let’s have supper too.” They were now served mixed vegetables, but ate once more. “Now we can go out and work all day without interruption,” the farmer announces. “Oh, no,” the farmhand answered, “I never work before supper.”
