Florence Nightingale was born in Florence, Italy, while her wealthy English parents were traveling in Europe. As a child, she traveled to many places with her family and learned how to speak several languages.
When Nightingale was 17,she told her family that she was going to help sick people. Her parents did not agree,but Nightingale was determined.
She traveled to hospitals all over Europe. She saw that doctors were working too hard. She saw that patients died because they did not get enough care.Nightingale felt that women could be doing more to help doctors take care of sick people.
Nightingale knew that in order for nurses to do more, they needed special training in how to take care of sick people. Nightingale went to a hospital in Germany to study nursing. Then she returned to London and became the head of a group of women-called Gentlewomen During Illness. These women cared for sick people in their homes.
In 1854, England was fighting a war with Russia. The reporters wrote about the terrible conditions in the hospitals that cared for the wounded. People demanded that something be done about it. A leader of the government asked Florence Nightingale to take some nurses into the war hospitals. So, in November 1854,Nightingale finally got to work in a hospital.
She took along 38 nurses whom she had trained herself.
At first,the doctors on the battlefields did not want Nightingale and her nurses in their hospitals. They did not believe that women could help. But in fact,the nurses did make a difference. They worked around the clock,looking after the wounded. Thanks to their hard work, many wounded soldiers survived. After the War, Nightingale and her nurses were treated like heroes. Finally,in 1860,she started the Nightingale School for Nurses. In time, thanks to Florence Nightingale,nursing became an important part of medicine.

The stranger looked at Mark Twain for several seconds and then answered,“I'm a police officer.My job is to catch people who hunt and fish during the wrong seasons.And who are you?”

(2013·广东高考)Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family,and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I'm not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don't come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that's just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that,_in order to get really good at something,one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising. To become great at certain things, it'll require even more time,time that most people won't put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don't enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you're not willing to put in the time and work, don't expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won't guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
46.Paragraph 1 mainly talks about________.
A.the reasons for success
B.the meaning of success
C.the standards of success
D.the importance of success
47.In Paragraph 2, the underlined word that refers to________.
A.being good at something
B.setting a practical goal
C.putting in more time
D.succeeding in life
48.Successful people suggest doing what one loves because________.
A.work makes one feel pain
B.one tends to enjoy his work
C.one gives up his work easily
D.it takes a lot of time to succeed
49.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A.Successful people like to show their great skills.
B.People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
C.People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D.It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
50.What is the main theme of the passage?
A.Having a goal is vital to success.
B.Being good is different from being great.
C.One cannot succeed without time and practice.
D.Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.
D
Rather than talk about how he feels,often a man would express his love by buying the woman cosmetics(化妆品),or bringing home a flower,or giving up the control of the remote(遥控器).
And when men do talk,they'd prefer to talk about actions rather than emotions.For example,a lot of men would choose to express their long-range faith in a relationship by talking about next summer's vacation plans,not by starting a conversation about undying love.
Men just prefer to say their plans with plane tickets,rather than poetry.It's one of the reasons why men are more comfortable talking at work(the practical world) than they are at home(the castle that emotion built).But you can bring out his great communicator by making him feel more like he's operating in the work mode,even when the topic at hand is your love life.
When men talk less and women want more,the conflict can escalate.Like when a policeman is questioning an unwilling witness,more silence equals more questions.A full 65 percent of men we surveyed recently told us that they don't want their partners to ask them more questions about themselves.
It's clear that some men are just tired of feeling like they're on the witness stand.They're not necessarily hiding anything;many men simply prefer not to have to tell confusing feelings that they may not even understand themselves.
An age-old method can make things better:back off a little,give him room to operate in a conversation,and he's more likely to open up.
51.A man is likely to show his concern for woman by________.
a.buying her make-up
b.offering her flowers
c.talking about feelings
d.handing over the remote
A.a,b,c B.a,b,d
C.b,c,d D.a,c,d
52.According to the author,men feel more comfortable when talking________.
A.actions B.feelings
C.long-term friendship D.conversations
53.How can women communicate more successfully with men?
A.They may give men a surprise by buying plane tickets.
B.They can ask men if they have a great time during working.
C.They might create a warm home environment first of all.
D.They can give men the feeling that they are talking at work.
54.The underlined word “escalate” has the similar meaning to________.
A.decrease B.disappear
C.change D.increase
55.From the text it can be inferred that________.
A.women are better at writing poems about emotions than men
B.it is natural for women to be fond of finding the faults of men
C.men are more interested in learning more about their partners
D.men prefer to pour out their hearts in a forgiving environment
Ⅳ.阅读表达(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)
Have you had a headache during a test?Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can't sleep at night?If so,then you know what stress is.Stress is what you feel when you are worried about something.This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad.You may feel angry,sad,scared,or afraid—all these can give you a stomachache or a headache.
However,there are different kinds of stress.Some kinds of stress are good and others are bad.Good stress might happen when you're called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech.This kind of stress can help you to get things better done.For example,you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to prepare better before the test.
On the other hand,bad stress can happen if the stress lasts too long.________ if your parents are fighting,if a family member is sick,if you're having problems at school,or if anything else makes you unhappy every day.That kind of stress isn't going to help you.And it can actually make you sick.
The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life.Make sure you keep yourself in mind:sleep,exercise,leisure(休闲),and food.If you get enough sleep and eat properly,and if you exercise and leave time for fun,you'll probably feel less stressed.

【语篇解读】 本文为议论文。成功的关键因素不是天赋、出身或运气,而是设定一个符合实际的目标,然后为此不断地努力、付出。巨大的努力也许无法确保你想要的成功,但是你为之付出的(领域)一定会成为你的优势所在。
46.A 主旨大意题。第一段主要分析了成功的原因,有人认为是天赋、出身或者运气,但是作者并不完全认同,认为这只是生活的现实而已。故A项正确。B项意为“成功的意义”;C项意为“成功的标准”;D项意为“成功的重要性”,均与第一段不相关。
47.B 词义猜测题。根据上句...to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.可知,that代指“设定一个符合实际的目标”。
48.D 推理判断题。根据第二段可知,成功需要付出大部分人不愿付出的时间来学习和练习,这就是成功人士建议一个人要从事他所喜欢的事情的原因,故D项“成功需要很多时间”正确。A项和C项描述的情况只能在一个人不喜欢的前提下发生,故排除。B项意为“人们往往喜欢自己的工作”,文章中无从得知。
49.B 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句可知,认为成功是依靠运气或者天赋的想法对你是没有好处的,很有可能你错了,也就是说有时候人们的成功并不是靠这些因素,故B项正确。A项与本段首句不一致,并未提到成功的人喜欢展示自己的技巧;C项at the cost of life“付出生命的代价”是对they have put in a huge part of their life“付出他们生命中绝大部分的时间”的曲解;根据...thinking that way does you no good...排除D项。
50.C 主旨大意题。概括全文可知,文章主要指出成功的关键不是靠天赋、出身或运气,没有大量的时间和练习,一个人是不会取得成功的。文章虽然提到,要取得成功首先要设定一个符合实际的目标,但没说这是“至关重要的(vital)”,这并非文章的主题;文章也并非主要比较being good与being great的不同,故排除B项;D项与文章内容相反。
51.B 细节理解题。根据第一段可知B正确。
52.A 细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句可知,男人更乐意接受具体行动。
53.D 细节理解题。根据第三段的倒数第一句可知,女人要想与男人顺利沟通,就得让他们感到像在上班时交谈一样。
54.D 猜测词义题。根据第四段的“more silence equals more questions”可知,沉默意味着问题更多,故可猜测escalate意为“增加、加剧”。
55.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,退后一步可以让男人敞开心扉,故可推知,男人更乐意在宽容的环境下向人们倾诉衷肠。
56.Face the stress 57.You may not feel well 58.a.sleep B.exercise c.leisure D.food(答出任意三项即可) 59.To have a balanced life 60.I will try to go out for a walk and have a good rest.
【参考范文】
What will the future be like?
Recently our class has held a discussion on“What will the future be like?”Some students think that in the future science will be more advanced,and transportation will be more convenient and what's more,people will live much longer and the level of their living conditions will be higher.
However,some students think that in the future natural resources will further decrease and farmland will become lost(will decline sharply),and there will be more traffic accidents.
In my opinion,we should try to protect natural resources and decrease environment pollution.I hope everyone can be aware of the importance of environment and make his efforts for the better world in the future.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
What will man be like in the future—in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now?We can only make guesses,of course,but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today,for man is slowly changing all the time.
Let us take an obvious example.Man,even five hundred years ago,was shorter than he is today.Now,on average,men are about three inches taller.Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time,so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.Again,in the modern world we use our brains a great deal.Even so,we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity.As time goes on,however,we shall have to use our brains more and more,and eventually we shall need larger ones!This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head,in particular the forehead,will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are in constant use.In fact,we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses.But over a very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand,we tend to make less use of our arms and legs.These,as a result,are likely to grow weaker.At the same time,however,our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.
But what about hair?This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer.In the future,then,both sexes are likely to be bald.
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at!This may well be true.All the same,in spite of all these changes,future man will still have a lot in common with us.He will still be a human being,with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.
1.The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A.man's life will be different in the future
B.future man will look quite different from us
C.man is growing taller and uglier as time passes
D.man's organs' functions will be on the wane
2.What serves as the evidence that man is changing?
A.Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.
B.Man's hair is getting thinner and thinner.
C.Man's arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.
D.Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.
3.The change in man's size of forehead is probably because________.
A.he makes use only 20% of the brain's capacity
B.his brain has grown larger over the past centuries
C.the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time
D.he will use his brain more and more as time goes on
4.Which of the following is TRUE about a human being in the future?
A.He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.
B.He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.
C.His fingers grow weaker because he doesn't have to make use of them.
D.He thinks and feels in different ways.
5.It is implied that________.
A.human being will become less attractive in the future
B.less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration
C.human beings hope for a change in the future life
D.future life is always predictable

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
My house is made out of wood,glass and stone.It is also made out of software.
If you come to visit,you'll probably be surprised when you come in.Someone will give you an electronic PIN(个人身份号码)to wear.This PIN tells the house who and where you are.The house uses this information to give you what you need.When it's dark outside,the PIN turns on the lights nearest you,and then turns them off as you walk away from them.Music moves with you too.If the house knows your favorite music,it plays it.The music seems to be everywhere,but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music.If you get a telephone call,only the nearest telephone rings.
Of course,you are also able to tell the house if you want something.There is a home control console(控制台),a small machine that turns things on and off around you.
The PIN and the console are new ideas,but they are in fact like many things we have today.If you want to go to a movie,you need a ticket.If I give you my car keys,you can use my car.The car works for you because you have the keys.My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.
I believe that ten years from now,most new homes will have the systems that I've put in my house.The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I've put in today.
I like to try new ideas.I know that some of my ideas will work better than others.But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new,and ask myself instead,“How will I live without them?”

A.How to develop a new system.

C.A home for the future.
D.Easy life in the future.

A.To let readers know why his ideas are new.
B.To let readers know how special his house is.
C.To explain the importance of the PIN and the console.
D.To explain more easily what the functions of the PIN and the console are.
4.The writer's new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because________.
A.it has been controlled by computers
B.you can make a telephone call anywhere
C.it has your favorite music following you
D.the writer is able to change his new idea into practice
5.What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?

C.An idealist.
D.An experienced teacher.

Are you ready to experience life as it may be in the future?Here are some interesting points to learn about the future.
Artificial intelligence:Many years down the road,humans might not even be recognizable because artificial intelligence(also known as AI)will have combined with our natural states.Scientists are learning more about the human brain every day,and they are working toward making smart robots we can use to help us.Some people say that nano-bots—super-tiny robots—may help us in invisible(看不见的)ways in the future.They say they will be everywhere,outnumbering humans many times over!
Nano-technology:This is the ability to make tools and helpful robots that are a billion times smaller than we can see.Scientists have already made many nano-sized tools that they can use.When this science is improved and becomes more common and affordable,it will change everything.
Brain-to-computer communication:Nano-computers will probably be linked to your thoughts,voice and emotions,and be able to react to your needs.In the future.people will rely on wireless technology and everyone and everything will be linked(连接).Your brain will be able to receive information from computers to fill your head with knowledge or teach you new things.When you want to learn a new skateboarding trick or dance move,nano-computers will send the information to your brain and allow your body to use the tips and apply them—no studying involved!
Virtual(虚拟的) reality:You already love virtual-reality games—they make imaginary(想象的) worlds in which you can play.But what if it allows you to have a cool new school?Virtual worlds are being created so computer-generated environments will allow you to learn school lessons with your teacher and your friends seemingly present without actually being there.Technology will give you a 3D image and link it to your brain in a way that makes you actually feel as if you were there.
6.The passage mainly introduces________.
A.the use of robots in the future
B.the importance of science and technology
C.some technology in the future
D.some ways to improve communication
7.What can we conclude from the second paragraph?

B.AI will bring about great changes to people's lives.
C.Nano-bots will take the place of humans in some years.
D.Scientists won't stop learning about the human brain until AI is widely used.
8.Which of the following statements about nano-technology is TRUE?
A.It makes robots work longer.
B.It has been common for centuries.
C.It costs a lot of money.
D.It helps make virtual worlds as real as possible.
9.The fourth paragraph introduces a new way of________.
