A
Candy Bruton, 56, a Delta Air Lines flight attendant flies about 90 hours over the course of 16 days a month.
But flying hours are only part of the time attendants spend on the job.Bruton explained that they also are required to put in “ground time”．They arrive about an hour before the flight takes off to make sure that the cabin is ready to go, the galley is fully stocked and all the required safety equipment is aboard and working.At the airport, Bruton and her fellow flight attendants are the first people on the plane and the last ones off.
For sports charters, attendants distribute welcoming snacks and drinks as the athletes, coaches and team officials board the plane, then provide nonstop service in the air.They hand-deliver everything — no carts in the aisles.Because the same attendants often are assigned to the same teams, they get to know what people want to eat and drink.“They don't have to ask，” Bruton said.
For a regularly scheduled flight, attendants help passengers put away their carry-on bags and get settled so the plane can depart on time.“In the air, they fill requests and continually check on the passengers，”Bruton said.
“I like to pick a couple of passengers and get to know them，” she said.“It's always the people.In the air, you're never alone.I've developed lifelong friendships with flight attendants and passengers.”
The job is not just about service.“A lot of what we do is safety-related，” Bruton said.In 36 years of flying, Bruton said she's seen only two emergencies, both of which were minor incidents that did not endanger anyone on the plane.
36．It is unnecessary for Bruton to do the job of________.
A．arriving at the airport before the flight takes off
B．handing out foods and drinks and tidying carry-on bags
C．chatting with some passengers on the plane
D．checking on the passengers' requests and serving them
37．What can we know about Bruton from the passage?
A．She is keen on her job as an attendant.
B．She has been an attendant when she was
twenty-one.
C．She is not only an attendant but also a maintenance worker.
D．She is in charge of serving coaches and team
officials.
38．Why are the same attendants assigned to the same team?
A．Because it's easier for them to communicate.
B．Because they know passengers' demands.
C．Because they are familiar with the airline.
D．Because they have passion for the same plane.
39．From the last paragraph we can know as an attendant the main character is________.
A．responsibility B．optimism
C．diligence D．creation
40．Which type of literature does this article belong to?

Jesse was a great teacher, tutor, mentor, and family member.He was a dedicated (忠诚的)volunteer in the Peace Corps in Guinea, West Africa.He went to a place where he knew he could make a difference and wanted to help teach children who otherwise would not have a teacher.He made friends wherever he went and touched the hearts of many.
Jesse was never one to go anywhere without making a good impression on everyone he met.His sudden death in a tragic car accident in Africa brought his family and friends together in a celebration of his life.They came from all over: Africa, Canada, the US.The church was filled with people who knew that Jesse had made a difference in their lives, in the lives of the children, and in the hearts of his loved ones.
Jesse volunteered with the Peace Corps to help educate children in Guinea, Africa.Guinea is a very poor and complex country where tribalism(种族主义)is strong.Each tribe that Jesse worked with wanted him to commit(致力于)to one or the other.
Jesse would not surrender(投降)to tribalism when he took an African name, and he wanted a tribal last name.Each of the two tribes in which he taught insisted that he choose their name.He would not choose but married the tribes' two names into one.
Jesse was a light to all who knew him.We will always remember the joy and love he brought to his work, to his family, his friends.The people who loved Jesse are planning to build a school in Guinea in his honor.So his work continues.

In the United States, elementary and middle schools are advised to give students two and a half hours of physical activity a week.Yet many schools across the country have reduced their physical education programs.Criticism of the cuts has led in some places to efforts to give students more time for exercise, not less.
The future health of Americans may depend on it.Just this week, a study reported that life expectancy has fallen or is no longer increasing in some parts of the United States.The situation is worst among poor people in the southern states, and especially women.Public health researchers say it is largely the result of increases in obesity, smoking and high blood pressure.They also blame differences in health services around the country.
In 2006, a study found that only 4% of elementary schools provided daily physical education all year for all grades.This was true of 8% of middle schools and 2% of high schools.The study also found that 22% of all schools did not require students to take any P．E.
The executive director of the National Association for Sport and Physical Education says one problem for P．E.teachers is that schools are under pressure to put more time into academic subjects.
Also, parents may agree that children need exercise in school.Yet many parents today still have bad memories of being chosen last for teams because teachers favored the good athletes in class.But experts say P．E.classes have changed.They say the goal has moved away from competition and toward personal performance, as a way to build a lifetime of activity.Some parents like the idea of avoiding competitive sports in P．E.class.Yet others surely dislike that idea.In the end, schools may find themselves in a no-win situation.
46．Elementary and middle schools in the US are required to be given more time to have physical activities because________.
A．more good athletes are needed
B．physical activities can make them healthy
C．Americans' life expectancy has fallen
D．America wants to free students from academic
subject
47．Life expectancy has fallen in some areas in the United States mainly owing to________.
A．poverty B．lack of medical care
C．some diseases D．physical quality
48．The figures in the third paragraph mainly intends to show us________.
A．all schools don't require students to take any P．E.
B．physical education were hardly paid attention to in the past
C．efforts should be made to give students more time for physical activities
D．no policies were made to guarantee the students' physical education
49．From the passage we can learn________
A．parents don't require school to give more time to P．E. education
B．government don't restrict schools to have certain exercise time
C．high schools have more time in daily physical education than middle school
D．the United States attaches more importance to academic subjects
50．The last paragraph mainly tells us________
A．parents' opinions influence schools' P．E.classes
B．parents arrange P．E. class for schools
C．parents want to know what kind of P．E.class the schools have
D．parents had interesting sports in P．E.class at their time

Shaw immediately applied to be and was accepted as the first person to receive a guide horse.The instant he met Cuddles，he knew he was making the right choice.Then he began his training.Through training，Shaw and Cuddles learned to find their way on busy streets，step over curbs(便道沿儿)and find elevator buttons.Cuddles even demonstrated(显示)its ability to step in front of Shaw and block him，to prevent him from walking into a dangerous situation.The little horse also expertly led Shaw through busy shopping malls.They got along without any difficulties.Now Shaw is confident that Cuddles will change his life for the better.

综合检测(二)
1．C 考查短语take notice of的变形应用。此句中的notice已作为先行词提前了。
2．C offer to do sth.是“主动提出要干……”的意思。
3．D 该空表示“现在正在被油漆”，应填现在进行时并用被动语态。
4．C suffer from的意思是“受……之苦”。题干中有时间状语for years，故用完成时态。
5．A 这是have an effect on 的一种变形应用。effect作为先行词而出现的，后面跟了定语从句。
6．C when在此是“正在那时；正在这时”的意思。be about to do sth.常和when搭配，意思是“正要做某事时……”。
7．B take it for granted that是一个固定搭配，其中it 是形式宾语，that从句是真正的宾语，其意思是“以为……是理所当然的”。
8．B 考查交际用语。从语境看，应用B项表示“无论什么都可以”，其它选项均与语境不相符。
9．A 考查demand一词的用法。demand to do; demand sth.from/of sb.; demand that sb.(should) do。根据语境A项合适。
10．C 考查时态和语态。根据后一句Could you be so kind as to lend yours to me？可知，前一句强调动作造成的对现在的影响，故用现在完成时态。go在此为系动词，没有被动形式。
11．B 考查短语的应用。in theory“理论上”；in practice“实际上”；in public“公开地”；in private“私下地”。句意：我恐怕那个想法执行起来在实际上并不起作用。
12．B 考查短语的应用。take on“呈现，雇佣”；take up“开始从事，占据(时间、空间等)”； take out“拿出”；take back“收回”。根据句意，B项合适。
13．B 考查短语的运用。in response to “作为……回应”， 句意：那个男孩很快的回答我的询问。in return for “作为回报”；in favour of“同意，支持”；in terms of“关于，涉及到”。
14．C 考查单词词义。profound“深刻的，深奥的”；available“可利用的”；qualified“合格的”；permanent“永久的”。根据语境，C项正确。
15．B 考查词汇应用。available“可获得的，可利用的”；essential“极其重要的”；satisfying“令人满意的”；permanent“永久的，永恒的”。从后面的“what is the most important is a person's attitude to a job ”最重要的是一个人的工作态度，可以看出应该用essential“极其重要的”。
16．C 从上句的“the Ganges，a river which flows through northern India”可以判断，这里应指他看到一家人在“河岸上(bank)”怒气冲冲地争吵。
17．D 由后文可知，他想借此机会对弟子们进行教育，所以他“转向(turned to)”他们。
18．A 上文的angrily给出了提示。为什么人们会“愤怒地(in anger)”向对方喊叫呢？
19．A 为了回答这个问题，弟子们“思考了(thought)”一会儿。
20．C 人们“失去(lose)”内心的平静时才会怒喊。
21．C when在此意为“在……情况下”。
22．A 由前面所说的“离得很近”可知，这里是说可以用“柔和的(soft)”方式讲话。
23．B 一些弟子们又说出了另外的答案，但没有一个能让其他人“满意(satisfied)”。
24．D 当两个人向对方怒喊时，彼此的“内心(hearts)”就会产生距离。前面说到争吵的一家人离得很近，所以排除“bodies”。
25．D 提高嗓门是为了能使双方都“听见(hear)”对方。
26．C 前文的To cover that distance给出了提示。
27．B 由下句“They don't shout at each other”可知，这句是说“如果两个人相爱会是一种什么情况呢？”
28．A 从下句的“The distance between them is either nonexistent or very small”可知，两个相爱的人的心彼此很“亲近(close)”。
29．B 说完了上述内容，这位智者“接着(continued)”解释。前一段也是智者的话，所以不能用“replied”。
30．D 与本空后的whisper构成对比，相爱的人不会“大声交谈(speak)”而只会甜蜜地低语。
31．C 最后他们“甚至(even)”不必低语，而只需深情地注视对方。
32．B 他们只要注视着对方就可以明白“一切(all)”。
33．A 所以，当你们“争吵(argue)”时，千万不要伤害对方的心灵。
34．C 不要轻易地说出那些令人伤心的话。“否则的话(or else)”，你们的心会彻底相离。
35．D 你们心灵的距离会越来越远，以至于你们不会再“和好如初(find the path to return)”。
36．C 细节理解题。从第二段的第三句可以看出A项不对；从第三段的第一句可以看出B项不对；从第三段的最后一句可以看出D项不对；从第五段“I like to pick a couple of...”可以看出和乘客聊天并不是她分内的工作。
37．A B项文中提到；根据第二段第二句可知，确认客舱、厨房及安全设备的正常工作是乘务员的本职工作，故排除C项；D项仅适用于sports charters 的情况，故选A项。
38．B 细节理解题。从第三段的第三句话“Because the same attendants often are assigned...”可以看出答案为B。
39．A 推理判断题。通过Bruton所说的话可以看出她飞行36年只出了两次小事故，从Bruton这句话“A lot of what we do is safety-related.”可以看出作为航空服务员主要应该具备的就是责任心。
40．D 推理判断题。文章采用了很多Bruton的原话，并且还有作者的简单的描述，应该属于人物专访类的文章，故答案应该为D。
41．B 推理判断题。因为他帮助了那些需要帮助的人，人们才都记住了他。
42．B 细节理解题。从第二段的第二句话“His sudden death in a tragic car accident...”，可以得知答案。
43．D 推理判断题。从第四段的最后两句“He would not choose but married the tribes' two names into one.”可以推断出答案为D。
44．A 推理判断题。从第一段的第三句“He went to a place where he knew he could make a difference...”和第二段的最后两句可以看出他的确是一很有影响的人物。B项文中没有明确地提出；C项中的“hero”一词用的不是太合适；D项的“local peace”也不是他的主要功绩。
45．A 主旨大意题。作者回顾了Jesse生前所做的主要贡献，本文带有纪念性情调。
46．B 细节理解题。本文主要介绍了美国中小学生目前缺乏体育活动的现状以及下一代人可能出现的健康问题，这个问题已经引起了政府的注意，并要求各级学校还学生足够的运动时间。从第二段的第一句话“The future health of Americans may depend on it.Just this week, a study reported that...”可以看出增加学生运动时间的目的是为了学生的健康。
47．D 细节理解题。从第二段的第三句话“Public health researchers say it is largely the result of increases in obesity, smoking and high blood pressure.”提到的疾病可以看出有写地方寿命减少的原因是由于身体的素质下降了。
48．C 推理判断题。这些数字是列举了过去一年学校进行体育活动的情况，从这些数字可以看出体育运动没有得到足够的重视，这是很危险的一个警告。
49．D 细节理解题。从第五段的第一句话“Also, parents may agree that children need exercise in school.”可知A项不对；从第一段的第一句话可以看出B项不对；从第三段的第二句话可以排除C项；从第四段的最后一句话可以推断出D项正确。
50．A 主旨大意题。从最后的一段的一、二句话和最后一句话，可以总结出父母的要求影响了学校的体育教学安排，故A项正确。
51．B 细节理解题。本文主要介绍了美国著名的政治活动家和女权倡导者Bella Abzug的一些经历和主要的贡献。从第三段的第一句话“Bella Abzug became a lawyer in the 1940s.”可以判断出B项正确。
52．C 细节理解题。从第二段的最后三句话可以判断出C项正确。
53．C 推理判断题。从第四段Bella Abzug所解释的带帽子的原因中可以总结出她带帽子的原因是要争取男女平等的权利。
54．D 词意猜测题。从后面的一句话“They did not want me to wear a hat.”可以看出此短语含有贬义色彩，故D项正确。此短语的真正意思是：小题大做。
55．A 细节理解题。从最后一段可以找到这些事实依据。从最后一段的第三句可以看出她是抗议战争的；从第二句可以排除B项；从第一段的最后一句话可排除C项；从最后一段的第五句话可排除D项。
56．Tiny/Little/Small/Very small.

B
(2011·广东高考)A year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class.Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published.I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr.Davis.My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused.“Wait a minute.” someone might say, “are you talking about Mr.Davis the retired man, or Mr.Davis the respectable scholar？”
The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase (公文包) and standing before my full－length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class.I'm Mr.Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice.Sometimes I would sound experienced.But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr.Davis was there.I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.
I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves.I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper.I saw nine students along a long table.I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.
“All right then，” I said.“OK, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment.I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day.I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forest of hands.Every student would yell.“Calm down, you'll all get your turn.One at a time, one at a time！”
A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.
6．The author took the job to teach writing because________.
A．he wanted to be expected
B．he had written some stories
C．he wanted to please his father
D．he had dreamed of being a teacher

Ⅰ.1.grateful 2.available 3.traditional 4.leisure 5.demands 6.essential 7.individual 8.doubled 9.personalities
10．suffering
Ⅱ.1.A 第一个空可用relating to(现在分词短语)和related to(形容词短语)作定语，修饰the matter; deal with与the matter之间是动宾关系，又结合require doing/to be done的用法，第二空可用dealing with或to be dealt with。
2．B 考查动词词义辨析。earn“挣得；赢得”。earn sb.success and fame“为某人赢得成功和名望”。save“保存，节省”；make“制造，使得”；offer“提供，出价”。
3．B 句意：在美国15年后，他最终决定申请美国公民。concentrate on“集中”；apply for“申请”；look out of“从……朝外看”；appeal to“向……呼吁，恳求，吸引”。
4．B 句意：——今天下午4点半我能见到贝克博士吗？——那要看情况。恐怕那时他有一个会议要参加。accurate“精确的”；available“可得到的，可利用的”；suitable“合适的”；convenient“方便的”。后两个词的主语一般不能是人。
5．C 句意：他受到胃疼的折磨，睡不着觉。suffer作“患……病；受……苦”讲时为不及物动词，常与from连用。现在分词短语在本题中作状语。
6．C 根据后面宾语从句为虚拟语气可知该词后接虚拟语气从句的只有essential(必不可少的)有此用法。句意：我认为她懂得点电脑知识对她现在的工作来说是必不可少的。urgent“紧急的”；normal“正常的”；gifted“有天赋的”。
7．B 此题考查动词过去分词作定语的用法。根据语意判断，此处应为“警察在寻找与事故有关的(related to)人”。refer to“参考”；link to“连接”；connect to“连接”。
8．B be grateful to sb.“对某人感激”。be grateful for sth.“因某事而感激”。
9．C 句意：他没有留下钥匙，因此我们不能进入办公室。没有留下钥匙的动作先于不能进入办公室，故用过去完成时态。
10．A 句意：研究表明人们如果总是长时间地坐在电脑屏幕前，就更有可能患上背部疾病。sb.＋be likely to do sth.某人可能做某事。possible, probable的主语不能是人。be sure to do表示一种主观意志，与句意不符。
Ⅲ.1.D 主旨大意题。通读全文可看出，作者就残疾人如何找工作以及找工作的注意事项发表了自己的见解：残疾人找工作时应该用一种聪明的方式。
2．C 细节理解题。文章第二段的“Some larger companies have programmes for hiring people...as they are much more enthusiastic(热情)to hiring people with disabilities due to their positive past experiences.”可知，一些大公司愿意雇佣残疾人主要因为他们有积极工作的经历，暗含他们比普通人更努力。
3．C 细节理解题。第三段的第一、二句“When talking with an employer about the job, one must be very honest.He should tell the employer about his disability.”给出了确切答案。
4．A 细节理解题。第三段的第三句“It is also important to know whether there are any sorts of tools or, new technology that could help a person with a disability do a job.”可以判断，现代设备能够在工作中帮助残疾人。
5．B 段落大意题。最后一段主要讲述残疾人不应该得到很糟糕的待遇，而应该要求得到公平的工资和待遇。
6．A 细节理解题。根据文章第一段的I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr.Davis...or Mr.Davis the respectable scholar？可知，作者想要被尊敬。
7．C 推理判断题。根据文章第二段的But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr.Davis was there.I sounded not like a thoughtful professor，but rather a 12-year-old boy.可知，作者在第一节上紧张了。
8．D 细节理解题。根据第三段的I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.可知，作者在开课之前，让学生们把名字写在卡片上并按照我的要求固定在他们胸前的衣袋上。
9．B 细节理解题。根据最后一段的A terrible silence ruled the room, and...可知，作者开始上课的时候，学生们保持沉默。故选B项。
10．A 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，作者想像着第一节课上，学生们积极地表达自己的观点的热烈场面。而根据最后一段的首句可知，学生们却都沉默不语。想像与现实相反，故由此可知，作者得出作文的题目是因为A项。
Ⅳ.1.I demand that John (should) go there at once. 2.She's very likely to ring me tonight.
3．Wealth is seldom related to happiness. 4.Our school suffered a great loss. 5.The daily output is expected to be doubled by the year 2013.
