Ⅲ.阅读理解 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
A
I honestly have been amazed at the Internet since I was 16.I have used it about 8 years except one year when I lived on a distant lonely island and it's useful.And the Internet has allowed me to learn and become more cultured.I have studied many things about Europe, Russia, history, religion and the Internet has allowed me to meet kids, adults from all around the world.It is interesting also how available data and information is.I had found a lost sister I had never got to meet from our real mother because of the Internet and now we talk often.I am also able to listen to news from other countries such as Russia where the media has less bias while American media hardly tells the truth and tries to hide things behind their own opinions.So I thank the Internet for allowing people to come out of their shell and most likely find the truth if they really seek it.
The Internet is a wonderful communicator which will change the lives of our children and grandchildren into the future and hopefully better communication will lead to a better world.There is a great new site for those who want to find all kinds of jobs at sea.
The Internet has shown me how small the planet actually is.I enjoy reading and learning about my fellow earthlings.To survive we need to work together in the protection of our fragile environment and in sharing our natural resources.
The Internet especially opens the world and gives possibility to communicate.I think the satellite also, because there you can see other people's life and thinking, which increases your knowledge.
36．Now the author is about ________.
A．16 B．23 C．24 D．25

A．studying all kinds of knowledge
B．making friends with both young and old
C．listening to news in Russian and other languages
D．having a talk with relatives and others
39．This passage mainly tells us________.
A．how to use the Internet in our life
B．what role the Internet plays in everyday life
C．what should be learned through the Internet
D．why people like using the Internet
B
At the beginning of the twentieth century, American laborers often worked long hours for little pay.Many worked under extremely dangerous conditions.About five hundred thousand workers, however, had joined groups called labor unions, hoping to improve their situation.
In 1900, the largest national organization of labor unions was the American Federation of Labor.Its head was Samuel Gompers.Gompers had moved to New York with his parents when he was thirteen years old.He was twenty-four when he began working for the local union of cigar makers.He worked for the labor movement for sixty years.
Samuel Gompers had helped create the AFL in the late 1880s.He led the organization for all but one year until his death in 1924.Gompers defined the purpose of the labor movement in America.He also established the method used to solve labor disputes.Gompers thought unions should work only to increase wages, improve work conditions and stop unfair treatment of workers.He called his method pure and simple unionism.
Samuel Gompers sought immediate change for workers.He used group actions such as strikes as a way to try to force company owners to negotiate(谈判)．
Gompers was criticized for going to social events with industry leaders, and for compromising too easily with employers.But Gompers believed such actions helped his main goal.He believed if workers were respected, their employers would want to make working conditions better.
Under the leadership of Samuel Gompers, the labor movement won its first small gains.For example, the federal government recognized the right of workers to organize.That happened when union representatives were part of the National War Labor Board during World War Ⅰ.Yet conditions for American workers continue to improve as employers realize that treating their workers well is good for business.
40．Labor unions were formed to________.
A．fight with the employers
B．protect labors' rights and benefits
C．shorten the working hours
D．make the labors feel sage
41．Which of the following disputes may NOT be solved by the unions according to Gompers' opinion?
A．workers wanted to get more salary
B．some workers were given unequal treatment
C．workers demanded for children's education fees
D．workers put forward changing old machines
42．This passage mainly tells us________.
A．Gompers' contributions to labor class
B．Gompers' political affairs
C．Gompers' fight for workers
D．Gompers' opinions on labour movement

My father traveled from Southern California a few weeks ago to go skiing with his friends.This is an annual event, in which he and several of his club friends stay at a local hotel, dine out, and ski.And because this trip is planned far in advance, they go regardless of the snow conditions.This particular week there was just a small amount of man-made snow.When I asked him how the skiing was, he informed me “It was the best day ever！”
Dad has been skiing for over forty years, in every imaginable condition.He has skied in snowstorm where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.He has skied in sunny days of fresh powder and no crowds.Regardless of the circumstances or conditions, whenever I asked，“How was skiing Dad？”—he always responded the same way，“It was the best day ever！”
Skiing is not the only thing that makes Dad happy.He has the same positive attitude about his job.For twenty-five years he was a fireman, and if you asked him how he liked it, he would tell you that it was “the best job ever！” After retiring from the fire department, he became a traffic warden.And again, he said it was a wonderful job and he loved it!
Maintaining this positive, happy attitude has not always been easy for Dad, either.But on occasion where he has been negative, he always pulls himself out of it and works himself back to that optimistic place of delight in life.
Dad's attitude towards life has taught me an invaluable lesson: life holds such hope and promise for the person who positions his attitude for joy and success.And I have had the pleasure of being raised and loved by a father who usually chooses to stay in a positive frame of mind, which helps him to face each new situation expecting the best outcome.
43．Why did the father go skiing with his friend? Because________.
A．he liked skiing every winter
B．he took part in a competition
C．this is a program of a club
D．he carried out his plan of traveling
44．From the second paragraph we can learn________.
A．the father is crazy about skiing
B．the father works very hard
C．the father is a professional athlete
D．the father only went skiing once
45．The father's longest job is________.
A．fireman B．warden
C．skier D．club owner
46．The writer wrote this passage in order to________.
A．tell people his father's story and interests
B．praise father for his love to him
C．tell people to consider joy and success right
D．tell people father achieves everything

Agricultural experts have launched a land and water management project in the Middle East.The project seeks to increase food security in dry areas.Researchers say the water availability in some of the areas has dropped well below the internationally recognized standard.Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, the West Bank, Syria and Yemen are all taking part in the project.It is part of a larger ten-year effort called the Water and Livelihoods Initiative.The project is also expected to increase household income for farmers in the areas.
The United States Agency for International Development provided one million dollars for the Water and Livelihoods Initiative.Scott Christianson is an agricultural development advisor with USAID.He helped develop the project while working for the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas.He says the countries taking part in the project were all carefully selected.“They all share a socio-economic(社会经济的) and cultural heritage that's fairly homogeneous(同种的)．We feel that it's going to maximize our opportunity for trading of knowledge that we will generate in the project.”
Research by the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas and its partners has already proven to be successful.New irrigation methods are expected to double wheat production while using one-third of the water required for full irrigation.Experts say the new methods also increase crop production up to five times more than crops that depend on rainfall only.
The International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas will provide technical support for the project.Officials from the International Water Management Institute and the International Food Policy Research Institute are also taking part in the effort.Each team will be joined by experts from local research institutions, universities and government agencies.Scott Christianson says, “We have good partnerships among the countries within each agro-ecosystem so that through this twinning they can learn lessons from each other and work together effectively through time.”
47．The land and water management project has been set up in the Middle East to________.
A．increase water available in dry weather
B．guarantee the production of food and household income in dry areas
C．advocate some countries to build a big water power project to serve dry areas
D．take full use of water power resources from other areas
48．From the words Scott Christianson says in the second paragraph, we can know________.
A．the project is a route of spreading new techenological achievement
B．the project in dry areas is only an experiment
project
C．helping poor and undeveloped countries is everyone's responsibility
D．socio-economic and cultural heritage isn't helpful to developed countries
49．The crop in the dry areas________.
A．used to rely on Heaven for food
B．didn't need any irrigation before
C．used to get full irrigation
D．used to need double water of new irrigation
50．The underlined word “twinning” in the fourth paragraph probably refers to________.
A．local people and the researchers
B．international and local officials，experts
C．agriculture and economy system
D．technical support and practical experiment

(2013·郑州盛同学校高二上期末)__51__ One of the best things you can possibly do is to start your own club. It's great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there's never anything to do during the school holidays.

54_____You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up.That'll keep you busy for ages.
At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!
Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can spend a lot of time making them.____55____Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself？That will make the membership card really look like it.

综合检测(四)
1．D 考查冠词。go to the prison指的是“到监狱去”；不带定冠词的意思是“坐监”。
2．B 考查短语。dress up“穿上盛装，打扮得漂漂亮亮”；take up“拿起；开始从事；吸取；接纳”；pick up“捡起，拾起；收听节目；用车接；恢复”；turn up“出现，来到，卷起，找到，被找到，出现，发生”。
3．A 考查短语。on end“连续地”； in end短语不存在；in silence“沉默地”；on purpose“故意地”。根据句意选A项。
4．B 考查动词的时态语态。此句中显然要用被动语态，从从句中的时态可以断定主句要用过去时。
5．B 考查pretend一词的基本用法。pretend后接从句或不定式。从语境语意来看用进行时。
6．C hide sth.from sb.“向某人隐瞒某事”。 prevent...from... “防止某人做……”．..protect...from... “保护某人免遭……”；defend...from...“防御……”。
7．B wander除了“漫游；遛达”之外，还有“离题；走神”的意思。
8．A 从lucky一词可以看出这个孩子没有被惩罚，故用unpunished，go是系动词。
9．A 考查date back to的用法。此短语是不及物动词短语，无进行时无被动，但本句中需要的是非谓语形式，故用现在分词。
10．D 句意：你能把你的访问再延长几天吗？我将带你游览一些北京的名胜。expand扩大，膨胀；add加；spread传播，均不合句意。extend延伸，延长，符合句意。
11．B 句意：昨天我用我的字典换了一本小说。change...into ...“把……变成……”，把一个东西变成另一个，不是交换；trade sth. with sb.“和某人交换”；make...out of“用……制作”，均不符合题意。trade...for“用……交换”，符合句意。
12．D 考查和take搭配的有关短语及意义。take over“承担，接管”； take in“吸收，接纳，欺骗”；take up“拿起，占据(时间，空间等)”；take on“呈现，雇佣”。
13．B 考查习语俚语。in one's blood的意思是“天生就……”。
14．D 土地被冲走为正在进行的动作，故用现在进行时；土地是冲走这一动作的承受者，故用被动语态；quantity表示“大量”意思的短语其谓语动词和quantity保持一致。
15．C 考查交际用语。up to有下列几层意思“多达，打算做，胜任”。根据语境，这里的答语应该去“由你来决定”。
【语篇解读】 本文作者描述了和女儿一起到英国旅游时由于天气原因出现的一些小的行程的变更及在途中遇到一些小麻烦，在无助时突有转机，使父女俩有绝处逢生的感觉。
16．A 作者到英国去旅行，由于飓风造成的影响而不“允许”他在Shannon停留。
17．A 作者在伦敦和女儿Robin会面做了4日的短暂“停留”，其它词“休息”、“购物”、“会面”都不太合适。
18．C 从前面提到的租了一辆车以及开头提到的“enjoyed a busy tour”可以看出作者是开始了他到另一个地方the Cotswolds旅游。
19．D 从后文提到的“All the pictures you've seen of the English countryside...”和下段的第一句话可以看出作者旅游的这个地方“秀美动人的”的风景。
20．C do sth. justice/do justice to sth.“给……公正的评价”，作者描述这个地方的美丽的风景时认为“所有的你见过的英国乡村的画都不是这个地方的真实写照”。
21．B 从下文“we decided to try one more Bed and Breakfast”可以看出作者还没有离开，故用leave。
22．C 作者认为路途遥远而决定住下“而不是”选择“在车上睡觉或待在车站附近”。
23．A 从下文的“but in fact was more than half an hour...”可以看出作者被告知的路程和实际不符，被告知的应该是“很近”。
24．D 从下段的第一句话“headlights”和“Robin flicked her lights”可以看出他们是在黑暗中行驶。
25．B 由于被告知的路程不太准确，他们没有按时到达他们预期要到达的地方。
26．C 他们陷入了困境，女儿有点害怕了，从下段的第二句话“As I say, she was close to tears...”也可以得到提示，女儿快要哭了。
27．C make it“及时抵达， 走完路程，成功地做成……”；get it“了解，懂得”；catch it“受责备， 挨骂， 受罚”；take it“以为，断定”。根据语境C项合适。
28．D come up with“提出，想出”；keep away from“远离”；look back to“回顾”；come out of“从……出来”。此处作者和女儿看到车灯从一个不引人注意的车道上突然出来了。
29．A 从后文和这个偶遇的人谈话这件事上可以看出女儿是拦住了这辆车。
30．D 显然女儿是向这位偶遇者求助，向她解释他们的所遇到的麻烦。
31．B 女儿哭，而这个人却笑了，这应该使我们感到“吃惊”。
32．B 从后面的这个偶遇者的举止可以看出她是帮助他们了，根据26空前提到的“The gas was left little”，这里这位偶遇者应该是带他们去加油。
33．B 有人帮忙了，他们的担心也就“减少了”。
34．C chance此处是“可能”之意，opportunity“机会， 时机， 良机”，这里应该选用“可能”之意。
35．B happen to do sth.“碰巧做……”，从故事的内容看，这里是一个巧合。
【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了网络给人带来的好处。作者从自己的亲身经历出发，总结了网络的一些好处。
36．D 计算题。从第一段的第一、二句话得知信息，16岁时开始使用因特网，用了8年，还有一年没有用，加起来作者的现在的年龄应该是25岁。
37．C 推理判断题。从第一段的倒数第二句话“while American media hardly tells the truth...”可以看出作者是来自美国。
38．C 细节理解题。从第一段的第三句话可以得知A项是作者网上的内容之一；从第一段的第四句话可以得知B项也是作者的上网内容之一；从第一段的第六句可以看出D项也是作者上网的内容之一；只有C项中的“用俄语或其它语言听新闻”这个信息不准确。
39．B 主旨大意题。本文的作者主要介绍了因特网在生活中给人们带来的方便和起的作用。
40．B 推理判断题。从第一段的最后一句话“About five hundred thousand workers，...hoping to improve their situation.”可以推断出工人们加入工会的目的是通过工会来改善自己的工作条件，换句话说也就是改变他们的条件。
41．C 细节理解题。从第三段的倒数第二句“Gompers thought unions should work only to increase wages, improve work conditions and stop unfair treatment of workers.”可知，只有C项不是这句话中提到的。
42．A 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了Gompers作为工会领导为改善劳动者的劳动条件而做的努力和贡献。B项不是太具体；C项说法不准确；D项有点片面。
43．D 细节理解题。从第一段的第三句话“And because this trip is planned far in advance, they go regardless of the snow conditions.”可以得知正确答案为D。
44．A 推理判断题。从第二段的每一句话都清楚的说明了父亲不管自然条件如何，都要进行滑雪，这就表明父亲是一个热衷于滑雪的人。
45．A 细节理解题。从第三段的第三句话“For twenty-five years he was a fireman...”可以看出父亲最长的职业是消防员。
46．C 推理判断题。从最后一段作者总结的话可以看出作者并不是想讲父亲故事，而是想通过父亲的故事教育人们要正确的看待欢乐和成功。
【语篇解读】 本文讲述中东干旱地区如何增加粮食的产量。国际农业研究中心会向他们提供一套新的灌溉技术指导，这种技术会起到节水、增产的效果。
47．B 从第一段的第二句话“The project seeks to increase food security in dry areas”和最后一句话可以得知这个陆上水管理工程成立的目的是为干旱地区的食物增长寻找防护措施。故B项符合题意。
48．A 推理判断题。从第二段的最后一句话“We feel that it's going to maximize our opportunity for trading of knowledge that we will generate in the project.”可以看出这个工程是一个传播科技成果和交流知识的途径。
49．A 细节理解题。从第三段的最后一句话“Experts say the new methods also increase crop production...”可以得知干旱地区的庄稼过去经常是靠天吃饭的。
50．B 词义猜测题。从第四段的第二句话“Officials from the International...”和第三句话“Each team will be joined by experts from local research...”可以看出Scott Christianson所指的“twinning”指的是当地国际的和当地专家、官员的结合。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
The 9th day of the 9th lunar month is the traditional Chongyang Festival, or Double Ninth Festival.It usually falls in October in the Gregorian calendar(阳历)．In an ancient and mysterious book Yi Jing, or The Book of Changes, number “6” was thought to be of Yin character meaning feminine or negative, while number “9” was thought to be Yang, meaning masculine or positive.So the number nine in both month and day create the Double Ninth Festival, or Chongyang Festival.Chong in Chinese means “double”．Also, as double ninth is pronounced the same as the word to mean “forever”， both are “Jiu Jiu”， the Chinese ancestors considered it a lucky day worth celebration.That's why ancient Chinese began to celebrate this festival long time ago.
The custom of climbing to a height to avoid popular disease was passed down from long time ago.Therefore, the Double Ninth Festival is also called “Height Ascending Festival”．The height people will reach is usually a mountain or a tower.Ancient literary figures have left many poems describing the activity.Even today, people still crowd to famous or little known mountains on this day.
On this day, people will eat Double Ninth Gao (or Cake)．In Chinese, gao (cake) has the same pronunciation with gao (height)．People do so just to hope progress in everything they are engaged in.There is no fixed ways for the Double Ninth Cake, but super cakes will have as many as nine layers, looking like a tower.
The Double Ninth Festival is also a time when chrysanthemum(菊花)blooms.China is proud of different species of chrysanthemum and people have loved them since ancient times.So enjoying the flourishing chrysanthemum also becomes a key activity on this festival.Also, people will drink chrysanthemum wine.Women used to stick such a flower into their hair or hang its branches on windows or doors to avoid evilness.
In 1989，the Chinese government decided the Double Ninth Festival as Seniors' Day.Since then, all government units, organizations and streets communities will organize an autumn trip each year for those who have retired from their posts.At the waterside or on the mountains, the seniors will find themselves merged into nature.Younger generations will bring elder ones to the country or send gifts to them on this day.

3．The fourth paragraph mainly talks about what people________ on the day.

C．eat D．drink

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
If there is one thing I'm sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers.It is not that newspapers are a necessity.Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio.Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday.But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation(一代人)．
The nature of what is news may change.What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories, the coverage(报导) of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same.I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though.It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因) engineering.In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送)electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home.In fact, I'm pretty sure that how it will happen in the future.You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news, etc.
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media.They actually feed_off each other.Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn't happened.What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air.And as for the Internet, it's never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.
1．What is the BEST title for the passage?
A．The Best Way to Get News
B．The Changes of Media
C．Make Your Own Newspaper
D．The Future of Newspaper
2．In the writer's opinion, in the future，________.
A．more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news
B．newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer
C．newspapers will cover more scientific research
D．more and more people will watch TV
3．What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?
A．Sports and international news.
B．A menu of important news.
C．The most important news.
D．What you are interested in.
4．From the passage, we can infer________.
A．newspapers will win the competition among the different media
B．newspapers will stay with us together with other media
C．television will take the place of newspapers
D．the writer believes some media will die out
5．The phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means________.
A．depend on B．compete with
C．fight with D．kill off
B
Show your child that you care about him and that you are dependable.
Children who feel loved are more likely to be confident.Your child must believe that, no matter what, someone will look out for him.Give your baby or toddler plenty of attention, encouragement, hugs and lap time.
Set a good example.
Children imitate what they see others do and what they hear others say.When you exercise and eat nourishing(有营养的) food, your child is more likely to do so as well.When you treat others with respect, your child probably will, too.
If you share things with others, your child also will learn to be thoughtful of others' feelings.
Provide opportunities for repetition.It takes practice for a child to crawl, pronounce new words or drink from a cup.
Your child doesn't get bored when she repeats things.Instead, by repeating things until she learns them, your child builds the confidence she needs to try new things.
Use appropriate discipline.All children need to have limits set for them.Children whose parents give them firm but loving discipline generally develop better social skills and do better in school than do children whose parents set too few or too many limits.Here are some ideas.
Direct your child's activities, but don't be too bossy.
Give reasons when you ask your child to do something.Say, for example, “Please move your truck from the stairs so no one falls over it”—not, “Move it because I said so.”
Listen to your children to find out how he feels and whether he needs special support.
Show love and respect when you are angry with your child.Criticize your child's behavior but not the child.
Be positive and encouraging.Praise your child for a job well done.Smiles and encouragement go much further to shape good behavior than harsh(严厉的) punishment.
6．Why should parents set a good example for their children? Because________.
A．children love their parents
B．children like learning from their parents

D．children like staying with their parents
7．A child can learn something well by________.
A．doing it again and again
B．watching others do it again and again
C．playing with their parents
D．building their confidence she/he needs
8．What is TRUE about children's discipline?
A．The more give children limits, the better to help them develop good habits.
B．The more give children limits, the worse to help them develop good habits.
C．Give children firm but loving discipline and they'll get better habits.
D．Give children a lot of limits out of love and it's good for children.
9．Which of the following idea is WRONG when we educate our children?
A．Guide our children to be confident and bossy.
B．Say why if we want our child to do things.
C．Listen to the children's feeling and needs carefully.
