三、阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
请阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
This weekend is t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he anniversary of my father’s passing.As I write，I am aware that I am the third generation in my family to earn a living by writing.It makes me wonder how things might have been if Papa had been a doctor instead.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
I know we don’t all ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )follow in the family footsteps，but you are，I suppose，more likely to consider becoming a butcher if you have spent your childhood watching a parent kill a pig.
There have bee ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n family businesses as long as there have been families.The oldest continually existing family run business is a company in Japan called Hoshi Ryokan founded in 718.The current manager，Zengoro Hoshi，is the 46th generation member of the Hoshi family to run a hotel in the same location.According to a tale，the business began when “the god of Mount Hakusan” visited a Buddhist priest and asked him to find a local hot spring.The priest did so and immediately asked the son of a woodcutter (the Hoshi family) to “build and run a spa(温泉浴场) on the spot”．
Today marks the birt ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h of Adolphe Sax，who invented the well named saxophone.It’s not entirely surprising that he thought of such a thing，for his father，Charles Joseph Sax，made a living by designing musical instruments.As the tools were lying around the house，Adolphe began creating things to blow into from an early age.
Following in one’s f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ather’s footsteps can，of course，be daunting(使人气馁的)．When Louis Racine decided he wanted to be a poet，the French critic，Boileau，told him not to bother.Louis’ father was the celebrated dramatist Jean Racine，and Boileau told Louis that the same gifts never exist in following generations.Louis ignored him and went on with his dream.
36．After reading t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he passage，we know the writer believes that ________.
A．young people usually don’t like doing what their father does
B．the father’s work greatly influences the son’s choice of work
C．a child won’t be likely to be a butcher if his father is a butcher
D．fathers usually don ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )’t want their children to follow in their footsteps
37．What do we know about the company called Hoshi Ryokan
A．Its location has changed several times.
B．It has been running a hotel since it started.
C．It has been run by the same family since the beginning.
D．It was founded about one thousand years ago.
38．It is not surprisi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng that Adolphe Sax invented the saxophone because ________.
A．he had a gift for inventing new things just as his father
B．he showed a great interest in music at a very early age
C．his father often taught him how to invent things
D．he could use the t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ools that his father used to make musical instruments
39．According to the last paragraph，we learn Louis Racine ________.
A．didn’t give up his dream to become a poet
B．believed that he didn’t have a gift for poetry
C．thought his father was right when he told him not to bother
D．wanted to try something that his father had never tried before
B
How to improve ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )my life？Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them.They’ll say，“This is my fate，my destiny.I cannot change it.”
Of course not！You ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) don’t have to suffer needlessly.Your destiny depends on you，not on any other external factors.
I know someone who ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it.Guess what her lifestyle is？She wakes up in the morning，goes to work，comes back home，relaxes，chats with people，watches TV，then goes to sleep.Next day，the same routine cycle follows.
Huh！Is this what she c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )alls “doing her best”？She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that God has intended for her to live；that her luck can only change if God wills it.Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest，but we have to do our share of exerting(运用) the effort to live the life of our dreams.
班级：___________ 姓名 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )：___________ 得分：___________ Remember that you reap what you sow.You just don’t sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky.You have to get off the couch，get your eyes off the TV screen，get your hands off the phone.Don’t expect your luck to change unless you do something about it.If something goes wrong，don’t just regard it as a temporary setback；but use it as feedback.Learn your lesson，make the most of the situation，and do something to solve the problem.It’s not enough to think positively；you also have to act positively.
If someone’s li ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )fe is in trouble，do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine？Of course not！You get to do anything you can to save the person.So it is with your own life.It is not enough to hope for the best，but you have to do your best.In other words，don’t just stand (or sit) there，do something to improve your life.
40．According to the woman mentioned in Para.3，her life ________.
A．doesn’t need improving
B．couldn’t be improved
C．will be better some day
D．will be worse in the future
41．What does the author think of the woman’s life
A．Positive. B．Satisfying.
C．Colorful. D．Passive.
42．Which of the following statements is the author’s opinion
A．Your temporary problem is not discouraging.
B．Your luck can be changed by your efforts.
C．You can only achieve success when God wills it.
D．You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends.
43．In Para.5，the author emphasized the importance of ________.
A．positive action
B．positive thinking
C．hope for the best
D．intention to succeed

A “talking kit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )chen” teaches students how to cook French and speak French.Researchers at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom have developed the French Digital(数字的) Kitchen.Professor Paul Seedhouse led the project.21cnjy.com
“It works like a satel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lite navigation(导航) system in a car.The system can tell whether you’ve done what you were asked to do or not.For example，the sensor(传感器) in the knife not only knows that the knife is moving，but it also knows how the knife is moving.So it can discover whether the knife is slicing，whether it’s scraping or what.And so it doesn’t go on to the next stage of the program unless you’ve done what it senses you should have done，” said Paul Seedhouse.2·1·c·n·j·y
Students can ask the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )computer to repeat the instructions or translate them into English.There are vocabulary lessons before and after the cooking.
Professor Seedh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ouse became interested in the idea after he visited a talking kitchen designed for a different purpose.In his opinion the French Digital Kitchen turns the process(过程) of learning language into a real life experience.“Here you’re taking it out of the classroom and you’re actually using the language to produce something which you can eat at the end of it.It’s very enjoyable，” he said.
The system will be ava ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ilable for sale by the end of 2020.Adding the technology to a new kitchen could add about ten to twenty percent to the building costs.The system could also be added to an existing kitchen.
The researchers are al ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )so developing a new digital kitchen system that is easy to carry or to move.And the European Union has given them money to begin programs in six other languages，including English，Italian and Spanish.
44．What’s mainly described in the text
A．A satellite navigation system.
B．A talking kitchen.
C．A learning tool.
D．A sensor.
45．The second paragraph tells readers________.
A．how the talking kitchen works
B．why there’s a sensor in the knife
C．what a satellite navigation system is
D．how to use the knife in the talking kitchen
46．How did Seedhouse feel about the French Digital Kitchen
A．Confused. B．Amazed.
C．Pleased. D．Unsatisfied.
47．Which of the following about the talking kitchen is TRUE
A．It can be used in a car.
B．It’s easy to be carried and moved.
C．It can be put into an old kitchen.
D．It can only speak French and English now.

He’s an old c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )obbler(修鞋匠) with a shop in the Marais，a historic area in Paris.When I took him my shoes，he at first told me，“I haven’t time.Take them to the other fellow on the main street；he’ll fix them for you right away.”www-2-1-cnjy-com
But I’d had my eye on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )his shop for a long time.Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather，I knew he was a skilled craftsman(手艺人)．“No，”I replied，“the other fellow can’t do it well.”
“The other fellow ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )” is one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys “while U wait”—without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys.They work carelessly，and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap(鞋带) you might as well just throw away the pair.
The man saw I would ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n’t give in，and he smiled.He wiped his hands on his blue apron(围裙)，looked at my shoes，had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said，“Come back in a week.”
I was about to leave w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hen he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf.
“See what I can do？ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )” he said with pride.“Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work.”
When I got back ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) out into the street，the world seemed brand new to me.He_was_something_out_of_an_ancient_legend，this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly，his very strange，dusty felt hat，his funny accent from who knows where and，above all，his pride in his craft.
These are time ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s when nothing is important but the bottom line，when you can do things any old way as long as it “pays”，when，in short，people look on work as a path to ever increasing consumption(消费) rather than a way to realize their own abilities.In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.
48．Which of the following is TRUE about the old cobbler
A．He was equipped with the best repairing tools.
B．He was the only cobbler in the Marais.
C．He was proud of his skills.
D．He was a native Parisian.
49．The underlined par ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t “He was something out of an ancient legend”(Paragraph 7) implies that________.
A．nowadays you can hardly find anyone like him
B．it was difficult to communicate with this man
C．the man was very strange
D．the man was too old
50．According to the author，many people work just to________.21教育网
A．realize their abilities B．gain happiness
C．make money D．gain respect
51．This story wants to tell us that________.
A．craftsmen make a lot of money
B．whatever you do，do it well
C．craftsmen need self respect
D．people are born equal

For all the dinner t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )able，a glass of milk seems to be a constant，at least it was when I was growing up.It was widely believed that milk was integral in building strong bones and teeth.There’s no doubt that dairy products (乳制品)，and milk in particular，are high in protein and calcium，and most milk products are supplemented with Vitamin D and A.
While it’s well ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) known that our bones need calcium，some studies suggest that high calcium intake doesn’t necessarily lower a person’s risk for fractures (骨折)．A Harvard study found that people who drank two or more glasses of milk had no greater protection from breaking a bone than those who drank a glass or less a week.21教育名师原创作品
There’s no doubt that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) we need calcium.Some anti dairy supporters claim that dairy can lead to heart disease.Much of this claim is based on high fat and high dairy products，like cheeses and creams，which may indeed contribute to cardiovascular problems.Some studies have linked high milk intakes with a risk of prostate cancer；this seems to be caused by high fat dairy products，not dairy in general.
Although milk ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) was always regarded as one of the most important things we need for our bones，yet least promoted，factors involved in strengthening bones.Perhaps we should think of dairy as less like a nutrient and more like a food.If you like it，eat it.If not，find some_others.Because some claims may not be completely true，when I eat a cream，I’m not thinking about calcium，protein，or any such thing I’m thinking delicious.
52．Some anti dair ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y supporters claim that dairy can lead to EXCEPT ________.
A．cardiovascular problems
B．heart disease
C．prostate cancer
D．stomach cancer
53．The underlin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed words “some others” in the last paragraph refer to “________”．
A．dairy products B．milk
C．food D．cream
54．What’s the author’s attitude towards milk
A．He doesn’t like milk any more.
B．He used to drink milk as a child.
C．He regards milk as a nutrient.
D．He always cares about calcium，protein when he eats something.
55．We can learn from the text that ________.
A．all the claims are not completely true
B．high milk intakes can lead to cancer
C．it’s necessary for you to reduce milk intakes
D．give up milk for your health

I wanted to d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o something where I would always have a job regardless of the economy.I have heard from many people that women’s beauty salons are almost recession resistant(抗衰退)，where women would continue to spend money to look and feel better.So I decided to give that a try and went to a beauty school for a few months.21教育名师原创作品
Luckily，I like that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) kind of work.Getting into this work actually enabled me to see the other side of things.I learned to give great customer service.Whatever things I complained about when I was a customer，I was able to look at those problems，and made sure they did not happen.Later I was promptly hired at a local beauty place.21·世纪*教育网
I am doing well，a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd making good money.The economy did cause our store’s income to drop a little，but we didn’t have to shut down.All of our coworkers agreed to take a small pay cut so we could stay in business.When the economy improves and people start spending again，I am sure our business will do even better.21*cnjy*com
My message is—don ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )’t get discouraged if you get laid off.Look around for other opportunities.God shuts one door but he opens another，you know.
1．Why did the writer begin to collect coupons
A．To save money.

2．The writer went to a beauty school because ________.21·cn·jy·com
A．she was a woman of great beauty
B．she liked to get a good education
C．she wanted to spend money to look better
D．the women’s beauty salon is an ideal field in recession
3．From Para.3，we can learn that the writer ________.
A．feels a strong sense of responsibility
B．thinks it unwise to always complain
C．has an idea about how to judge customers
D．used to make complaints against bad service
4．The author writes this passage to ________.

What will people die o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f 100 years from now If you think that is a simple question，you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio technology (生物技术)．With the help of new medicine，the human body will last a very long time.Death will come mainly from accidents，murder and war.Today’s leading killers，such as heart disease，cancer，and aging itself，will become distant memories.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
In discussion ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of technological changes，the Internet gets most of the attention these days.But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times.How long can humans live Human brains were known to decide the final death.Cells are the basic units of all living things，and until recently，scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells，such as those of brain cells，would not last forever.But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine.Sometime between 2050 and 2100，medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so，people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs.The medicine，made up of the basic building materials of life，will build new brain cells，heart cells，and so on—in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.21世纪教育网版权所有
It is exciti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng to image that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence，but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.21cnjy.com

A．heart disease will be far away from us
B．human brains can decide the final death
C．the basic materials of cells will last forever
D．human organs can be repaired by new medicine
8．How long can humans live in the future according to the passage 【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
A．Over 100 years.
B．More than 120 years.
C．About 150 years.

American’s genius w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ith high technology may have put men on the moon，but there is growing doubt about its ability to solve human problems closer to home. 21*cnjy*com
In fact，a slight ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )but significant change from purely technological solutions is already under way as scientists insist that answers to the world’s problems will not come from an attractive exhibition of electronics and machines.Instead，as they see it，solutions must develop from a better understanding of the humans that drive the system and from a fuller appreciation of the limits and potential of the earth’s resources.21教育名师原创作品
What this means is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) an increased emphasis on the life and earth sciences，on sociology，psychology，economics and even philosophy.
More and more of th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e best minds in science，particularly young researchers，are being drawn into these developing fields.
All this is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )not to say that technological creativity will not play a critical role in solving energy and food shortages，or that answers to environmental difficulties will not come from further advances in the same technologies that may have helped cause the problems.
Where the real ch ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )allenge lies，in the view of the new generation of scientists，is in finding ways to produce goods and meet the world’s needs，using less of the raw materials that are becoming short.21cnjy.com
1．Which of the following would the author probably agree with 2·1·c·n·j·y
A．The enviro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nment crisis will not be solved unless we stop using virgin(原始) materials.
B．In scientific r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )esearch，a higher priority(优先) should be given to understanding all living systems.
C．Exploration of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) outer space will finally lead to an improvement on human living conditions.
D．U.S.high techno ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )logy companies are welcoming this new change in scientific research.
2．Which of the following best expresses the main idea
A．A growing n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )umber of Americans are doubtful about what high technology can do in solving the world’s problems.
B．Many scientis ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ts are beginning to believe that the better understanding of human beings will play a more decisive role in solving the world’s problems.
C．More and more young ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )scientists are trying their best to find new ways to solve the world’s problems.
D．Technological cr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eativity will still play a very important part in solving the world’s problems.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
3．In the pas ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sage “human problems” or “world problems” refers mainly to “________”．
A．global food shortage
B．resources depletion(耗尽)

D．all of the above

Have you ever dreamed ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of visiting a planet in the Milk Way While the trip sounds exciting，it would take years and years to reach your destination.So in the future，bedtime for astronauts may be more than a few hours of regular shut eye.They would have to sleep for years.
European rese ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )archers are now conducting hibernation experiments.The study may help them understand whether humans could ever sleep through the years it would take for a space flight to distant planets.“If there was an effective technology，it could make deep space travel a reality，” said Mark Ayre of the European Space Agency last month.www.21-cn-jy.com
What_seems_li ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ke_science_fiction_is_not_completely_unlikely.Researchers have been able to use chemicals to put living cells into a sleep like state where they don’t age.They have now moved on to small，non hibernating mammals like rats.The results will be out by the end of 2014.
A major challenge is t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he fact that cells can be very simple systems，whereas body organs are far more complex.
“It’s like moving fro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m a simple Apple computer to a supercomputer，” said Marco Biggiogera，a hibernation researcher at Italy’s University of Pavia.
Just like bears and f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rogs，the hibernation of human beings would cause a person’s metabolism (新陈代谢) to lower so they would need less energy.
Medical research，howe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ver，is just half of a space flight hibernation system.
There is the chall ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )enge of designing a suitable protective shelter.Such a shelter would provide the proper environment for hibernation，such as the proper temperature.It would also have to monitor (监控) life functions and serve the physiological needs of the hibernator.
According to Ayre， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the six person Human Outer Planets Exploration Mission to Jupiter’s moon (木星的卫星) Callisto，could be an opportunity to use human hibernation.The mission aims to send six humans on a five year flight to Callisto，where they will spend 30 days，in 2045.
1．European re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )searchers are conducting hibernation experiments to ________.
A．ensure astronauts to get a complete sleep
B．find the secret of some creatures
C．make preparations for the journey to Jupiter’s moon Callisto【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
D．know if man can sleep for years
2．The underlined se ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ntence “What seems like science fiction is not completely unlikely.” means ________.21·世纪*教育网
A．science fiction is people’s imagination
B．science fiction is imaginative，but it can be realizedwww-2-1-cnjy-com
C．things seem impossible may come true
D．things described in science fiction are sure to become true【版权所有：21教育】
3．The passage is implied but doesn’t state that ________.
A．putting living cells into a sleep like state is full of failure
B．Biggiogera is confident with the experiment
C．human’s hibernation needs no energy
D．medical research is the key to space flight hibernation system
4．By designing a suitable protective shelter，astronauts can ________.
A．have a good hibernation
B．lessen the pressure of traveling in space
C．feed themselves in spaceship
D．monitor their body changes

Europe’s first satell ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ite navigation spaceships have been sent into space.The two Galileo satellites were launched by a Russian rocket in French Guiana at 07∶30 local time on October 22,2011.
The European Commissi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on (EC) is investing(投资)billions of euros in its own form of the American GPS system.It will cost at least five billion euros to put all satellites in space.It expects Galileo to bring great returns to EU nations in the form of new business that can develop exact space borne (星载) timing and location data.
The two satellites ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )launched on Friday are pathfinders(探路者) for the Galileo system as a whole.The arrangements for the full Galileo system are likely to take most of the decade.30 satellites will be arranged in space at last.
Users will not im ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mediately see any benefits from Galileo，however.They will have to wait until a navigation signal is turned on，and it is likely to be 2015 when there are enough satellites in space for Galileo to start to show its true capability(能力)．
Compared with the Am ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )erican current form of GPS，Galileo carries more exact atomic clocks—the heart of the system.In theory，the data sent by Galileo should be much better than that of its US counterpart.A position fixed by the American GPS signal might have a mistake of about 10 meters，while Galileo’s designers guarantee the exactness when the full arrangements are achieved.
As the decade ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) progresses and the number of satellites in space increases，the performance of all Galileo equipment should be improved.Fixes ought to be faster and more dependable.
Few people perh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aps know the full usage of GPS today.The system is not just about drivers trying to find their way—banks employ GPS time to deal with world business，and telecommunications and computer networks use the satellites’ atomic clocks to set time.In fact，according to a report，the UK economy becomes over dependent on American GPS satellite navigation signals.It would be very dangerous if these signals are going down.So it is very necessary to have a second system.
5．When can Galileo start to show its true capability
A．In 2013. B．In 2015.
C．In 2019. D．In 2025.
6．Which of t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he following is the most important part of the Galileo system
A．The rocket.
B．The satellite.
C．The atomic clock.
D．The ground control system.
7．We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．quite a few people are aware of the full usage of GPS21·cn·jy·com
B．many people are agai ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nst the Galileo system because of the high price
C．the more satel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lites are arranged in space，the more exact the location is
D．the Galileo syste ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m will replace the American GPS system in the near future
8．Which of the following is the best title for the passage 2·1·c·n·j·y
A．Europe’s First Galileo Satellites Launched
B．GPS Plays an Important Role in Our Life
C．The Galileo System Is Better than American GPS
D．People Can Now Use EU’s Form of the GPS System
