Ⅲ.阅读理解(共20小题；每题2分，满分40分)

Last July，my 12?year?old car died on California's Santa Ana Freeway.It was an hour before sunset，and I was 25 miles from home.I couldn't reach anyone to pick me up，so I decided to take a bus.Not knowing the routes，I figured I'd just head east.
A bus pulled up，and I asked the driver how far she was going.“Four more lights，”she said.There was another bus I could take from there.This clearly was going to be a long night.
She dropped me off at the end of her route and told me which bus to look for.After waiting 30 minutes，I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home.Then a bus pulled up.There was no lighted number above its windshield(挡风玻璃)．It was out of service.But the door opened，and I was surprised to find that it was the same driver.
“I just can't leave you here，” she said.“This isn't the nicest place.I'll give you a ride home.”
“You'll drive me home in the bus？”I asked，puzzled.
“No，I'll take you in my car，”she said.
“It's a long way，”I protested.
“Come on，”she said.“I have nothing else to do.”
As we drove from the station in her car，she began telling me a story.A few days earlier，her brother had run out of gas.A good Samaritan picked him up，took him to a service station and then back to his car.“I'm just passing the favor along，”she said.
When I offered her money as a thank-you，she wouldn't hear of it.“That wouldn't make it a favor，”she said.“Just do something nice for somebody.Pass it along.”
36．Why did the writer say that he would have a long night?
A．He wondered how long he had to wait for the next bus.
B．No driver would give him a ride.
C．He didn't know the routes.
D．He perhaps would have to take a taxi.
37．Why did the writer change his mind after waiting for 30 minutes at the end of the route?
A．No bus would come at the time.
B．A taxi ride would be more comfortable.
C．He became impatient and a bit worried.
D．He knew the driver would never return.
38．The bus driver drove the writer home later because ________.
A．she happened to go in the same direction
B．she wanted to do something good for other people
C．her brother told her to do so
D．she wanted to earn more money
39．The bus driver hoped that the writer ________.
A．would do as she did
B．would keep her in memory
C．would give the money to others
D．would do her a favor

Audrey Hepburn won an Academy Award as Best Actress for her first major American movie，Roman Holiday，which was released(发行)in 1953.But she is remembered as much for her_aid_work as for her acting.
Born in Belgium in 1929，Audrey's father was British and her mother was Dutch.
Audrey was sent to live at a British school for part of her childhood.During World War Ⅱ，she lived and studied in the Netherlands.Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks.Audrey studied dance as a teenager and during college when she returned to London after the war.But she realised she wasn't going to be a ballerina(芭蕾舞女演员)．So she began taking acting parts in stage shows.Later she began to get small parts in movies.
But it was Audrey Hepburn's move to America that brought her true fame.In 1951 she played the character“Gigi”in the Broadway play of the same name to great critical(关键的，重要的)praise.Two years later，Roman Holiday made her a star at the age of 24.
Audrey made more than 25 movies.Among her most popular roles was Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's in 1961.Three years later she played Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady.
She was married two times and had one son by each husband.In 1989，the UN Children's Fund named Audrey a goodwill ambassador(亲善大使，特使)．She travelled all over the world in support of UNICEF projects.The UN agency said she was a tireless worker.She often gave 15 interviews a day to gain money and support for UNICEF projects.
Audrey Hepburn often said her loyalty to UNICEF was the result of her experiences as a child during World War Ⅱ.She said she knew what it was like to be starving and to be saved by international aid.She was a goodwill ambassador until her death in 1993 from colon cancer(结肠癌)．
40．In Paragraph 1，“her aid work”means________.
A．winning an Academy Award as Best Actress

D．acting as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF
41．The reason why Audrey lived and studied in the Netherlands was that________.

B．her parents were from Britain
C．the education there was excellent

Today almost everyone knows computers and the Internet.If I ask you“What is the most important in your life？”，maybe you will say“Computers and the Internet.”．The first computer was made in 1946.It was very big but it worked slowly.Today computers are getting smaller and smaller.But they work faster and faster.What can computers do？A writer has said，“People can't live without computers today.”
The Internet came a little later than computers.It is about twenty-five years later than computers.But now it can be found almost everywhere.We can use it to read books，write letters，do shopping，play games or make friends.
Many students like the Internet very much.They often go into the Internet as soon as they are free.They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends.They don't know their real names，ages and even sex(性别)．They are so interested in making the “unreal friends”that they can't put their hearts into study.Many of them can't catch up with others on many subjects because of that.
We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world.But at the same time，we should remember that not all the things can be done by computers and the Internet.
44．The Internet can not be used for ________.
A．studying B．shopping
C．thinking D．playing
45．When the computer was invented，it was ________.
A．large and worked quickly
B．small and worked slowly
C．large but worked slowly
D．small but worked quickly
46．The Internet was born in about________.
A．1960 B．1970
C．1980 D．1985
47．Which of the following is TRUE?

Bullies(欺凌弱小者)often bully students who are lonely.They do it over and over，but the students usually don't tell anybody they are being bullied because they are afraid of the bullies.
These students don't know how to stop the bullies and are very unhappy.Some don't see a solution and don't want to be bullied any more，so they decide to commit suicide(自杀)．
On the Internet，there are many stories about bullying victims who killed themselves.Here are three we read about online.
A 14-year-old girl in Canada was bullied all the time by three girls in her class.The girls even called her on the telephone to bully her.She was afraid to stand_up_to them and never told anyone about the situation.She was miserable and didn't want to be bullied again，so she killed herself.
A 14-year-old boy in Canada was also bullied a lot.He was miserable，but he did not talk to anyone either.Finally，he wrote a note to his parents.He told them that he was scared of the bullies and didn't know what to do.Then he jumped off a bridge.
In England，a 13-year-old girl was bullied because she was very tall.She was scared of the bullies，but she also never told anybody what the bullies was doing.She was so unhappy that she committed suicide.
These young students were lonely and unhappy.They did not know how to stop the bullies，so they killed themselves.We need to notice when students are victims(受害者)and desperate.Then we can help them before they decide to commit suicide.
48．The reason why victims keep silent about bullying is that________.
A．they don't want to take that seriously
B．they are too shy to say that to others
C．bullies may have ordered them not to tell others about that

C．bully D．met
51．What should those who are bullied do in order to stop being bullied again?
A．They should have the bullies beaten by others.
B．They should try their best to fight against them.
C．They should tell others about the matter and ask them for help.
D．They should try to avoid meeting them again.

When you are deciding which wheels are right for you，there are quite a few choices.Here are some tips that may be helpful in choosing a wheel.
Steel wheels—offered mostly for off-road or as a low cost alternative to aluminum(铝)．Steel wheels can be improved by making small changes with a spray can or brush if the need ever arises.A chromed steel wheel is likely to rust and is likely to need repair，especially in areas that use salt on the roads in the winter.They are heavier than aluminum wheels，thus，add some additional stress to suspension and braking(刹车)parts.Another downfall of steel wheels is that they are hand-built wheels and have lower ability of bearing in regard to run in，sometimes causing shaking problems on the street.
ALWAYS dry your wheels off after going through a car wash.The chemicals used in car washes these days can leave dirty spots that are difficult，if not impossible，to get rid of.
ALWAYS wash the road salt off your wheels as soon as possible.Salt can eat into the last part of a wheel and leave pits and stains that cannot be fixed.
ALWAYS check the directions on a cleaner before you use it on your wheels or tyres.Some tyre cleaners will forever discolour wheels and some wheel cleaners contain acids that will eat certain types of wheels.
52．The passage mainly tells us about________.
A．how to repair and fix wheels
B．how to buy and wash wheels
C．how to introduce and use wheels
D．how to choose and protect wheels
53．If you are a driver，you should better buy________.
A．steel wheels B．aluminum wheels
C．iron wheels D．plastic wheels
54．If a driver has bought steel wheels，________.
A．braking parts of the wheel are not quick
B．the wheels must leave a lot of dirty marks
C．sometimes the wheels will cause shaking on roads
D．he can save a lot of money in repairing his car
55．According to the passage，a driver should________.
A．pay special attention to his car's wheels
B．make less use of salt to protect and repair his car's wheels
C．let acids eat certain types of wheels
D．often wash his car and keep it away from danger
Ⅳ.任务型读写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
Millions of people from all over the world use the Internet to communicate，get information and play games.However，using the Internet can have both positive and negative effects on young people.
As for positive effects，children can use it for searching useful articles and materials.Also they can do their homework on the computer instead of writing it down.
The Internet gives children possibilities to learn about new things in life，and discover how people live all over the world.Children can communicate with their friends and relatives who live far away.In addition，they can make friends and talk with people in foreign countries.
However，there is much information that can be dangerous to children and damage their development.When children surf the Internet，they can easily be tempted into something that is not proper.When kids start to communicate with strangers online，they don't know that they can be talking to a sick or a harmful person and may meet the person later.Another thing is that many children only play games rather than learn online.Too much sitting before the computer can be unhealthy and result in stress injuries，obesity and social isolation.
Parents have a big responsibility to guide and guard their children and set clear boundaries to what kids do.Parents can reduce the risks for their children by setting sensible rules and knowing what their children are interested in.

综合检测(三)
1．C 句意：——不，他不在。我是他秘书。我可以代劳吗？——我看可以吧。A项说法太生硬，似乎在命令别人做某事，B项显然不恰当；D项不合此时的语境；C项正合题意。
2．C 句意：今年小麦好收成的希望不大，因为霜冻的损失太大。damage损失；destroy毁坏，不用作名词；reduction减少；break休息。
3．A 考查时态。根据句意“这正是我一直在想的事”，选择A项，为现在完成进行时。
4．B 句意：无论他承诺什么，你都不能指望他做任何事情。rely on/upon sb.to do sth.指望某人做某事符合句意。
5．A 答语句意：多亏吃药，现在不那么频繁了。A.时常的，频繁的；B.常见的，普遍的；C.有规律的；D.方便的。
6．D be admitted to/into意为“被……所录取/接纳”，应该用被动语态。
7．C 句意：如果你今天下午回电话以便于我们能早做决定我将非常感激。appreciate one's doing sth.感激某人做某事。考查appreciate后跟动名词作宾语。
8．D 考查动词时态。现在完成时可以用于时间或条件等状语从句中，表示将要做某个动作之前必须要先完成的动作，故此题选D，即write the report之前必须先finish the experiment。
9．B 句意：孩子们应该自己负责打扫自己的房间。watchful注意的，警惕的；responsible负有责任的；present出席的，在场的；popular有名的，受欢迎的，流行的。
10．B pull on猛吸，狠吸；pull out(火车)出站；pull round恢复健康；pull off驶向路边。句意：当我们匆忙赶到月台时，这次北京特快已经开出车站。

13．C 句意：这所学校创建于20世纪早期，它一直激励着孩子们对于艺术的热爱。the school与found之间为被动关系，故用过去分词。
14．B 句意：正是在当地导游的帮助下那位爬山者获救了。这是一个It is/was...that...强调句型。判断的标准是：把It is/was和that去掉，然后调整句子的顺序看句子是否成立。如果成立，就是强调句型，反之则不是。而本题将It was和that去掉并调整顺序后为“The mountain climber was rescued with the help of the local guide.”，句子完整无缺，因此是强调句型，所以答案为B。
15．A 句意：老年人在冬天需要特别的照顾，因为他们对天气的突变很敏感。be sensitive to...对……敏感。
16．B 由下文可知，“车轮”的发明使得运载重物更容易。

32．C expect(期望)符合语境。
33．A 根据语境可知，新的发明“不断”出现。
34．C 从本空后面可知，人类要探索宇宙。且从本空后面的again也可以推断本空应选“探索(explore)”。

38．B 细节理解题。由“I'm just passing the favor along”可知，司机的弟弟曾经有过与作者相似的经历，她只是想把这种助人的行为传递下去。而最后当作者给她钱表示对她的感激时，她说“Just do something nice for somebody.Pass it along.”，由此也可知她只是想帮助别人。
39．A 推理判断题。由文章最后司机说的“Just do something nice for somebody.Pass it along.”可知，她希望作者也能像她一样为他人做些好事。
40．D 推理判断题。此题应根据全文内容来判断。第一段是全文的概括，其重心在后面，即奥黛丽·赫本尽管获得奥斯卡最佳女主角奖，但她担当的援助工作同样使人铭记。再结合文章接下来的叙述可知答案为D项。
41．D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks.”和“...she returned to London after the war.”可知D项正确。
42．B 推理判断题。根据第二段和第三段前半部分可知，A项错误；根据第三段中“she realized she wasn't going to be a ballerina.”可知是她主动放弃的，C项错误；根据第四段中“In 1951 she played the character‘Gigi’in the Broadway play...”及后文可判断，这个角色并不是她扮演的最有名的角色，因此D项错误。由文章第四、五两段可知B项正确。
43．D 细节理解题。可以运用排除法。她的婚姻、身份和贡献在文章中都提到了，唯独没有提及她的宗教信仰，故选D项。
44．C 细节推断题。根据第二段的最后一句“We can use it to read books，write letters，do shopping，play games or make friends.”没有thinking，故选C项。
45．C 信息捕捉题。根据第一段中的“It was very big but it worked slowly.”可知答案为C项。
46．B 细节推断题。根据文中两点信息“The first computer was made in 1946.”和“It is about twenty-five years later than computers.”可推算1946＋25＝1971，故选B项。
47．D 细节推断题。文中明确说出几乎每个学生都爱上网，交的是“unreal friends”，彼此并不了解，故D项正确。
48．C 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句说明被欺负者之所以不敢告诉别人他们被欺负，是因为他们害怕这些欺负他们的人，这说明他们可能受到了欺负他们的人的恐吓。
49．D 细节理解题。根据第二段说明他们选择自杀不是因为没有人敢帮助他们，而是他们自己不知道怎么解决这个问题，然后闷闷不乐，从而选择死亡来结束这一切。
50．A 词义猜测题。根据上下文可知该短语的意思接近“勇敢地面对”。
51．C 推理判断题。根据最后一段，可以解决受欺负的方法是我们的帮助，说明受害者应该将自己受到欺负的事告诉别人以寻求帮助才是明智的做法。
52．D 主旨大意题。根据第一段第二句话“Here are some tips that may be helpful in choosing a wheel.”及最后三段段首的“ALWAYS”可知本文主要谈论的是如何挑选和保护车轮。
53．B 推理判断题。根据文章第二段，steel wheels与aluminum wheels相比存在很多缺点，所以作为司机最好要买aluminum wheels。
54．C 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句话“Another downfall of steel wheels is...，sometimes causing shaking problems on the street.”可知C项正确。
55．A 细节理解题。文章最后三段主要讲的是司机在日常行车中须特别注意保养车轮。故选A项。
56．without 57.life 58.far 59.Negative 60.dangerous 61.sick 62.learning 63.Parents'

【参考范文】
On behalf of our group，I'd like to give a brief summary of our discussion.
The main advantage of using public transportation is that it's cheap and generally much better for the environment，because you are only using one vehicle instead of many.Another advantage of public transportation is that it reduces traffic jams.I think public transportation is less stressful because you don't have to worry about parking and all that kind of thing.
The big disadvantage of public transportation is the wait.It's much more convenient to just jump in your car and take off.Also，you have to follow a route and you have no flexibility with public transportation.Sometimes it can be very uncomfortable，especially during rush hours.

(2013·重庆高考)Almost every machine with moving parts has wheels, yet no one knows exactly when the first wheel was invented or what it was used for. We do know, however, that they existed over 5,500 years ago in ancient Asia.
The oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia. It is over 5,100 years old. Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didn't become popular for a while, though. This could be because animals did a perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and humans around.
But it could also be because of a difficult situation. While wheels need to roll on smooth surfaces, roads with smooth surfaces weren't going to be constructed until there was plenty of demand for them. Eventually, road surfaces did become smoother, but this difficult situation appeared again a few centuries later. There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of modern road design.
In the mid-1700s, a Frenchman came up with a new design of road—a base layer(层) of large stones covered with a thin layer of smaller stones. A Scotsman improved on this design in the 1820s and a strong, lasting road surface became a reality. At around the same time，metal hubs (the central part of a wheel) came into being, followed by the pneumatic tyre(充气轮胎) in 1846. Alloy wheels were invented in 1967, sixty years after the appearance of tarmacked roads(柏油路). As wheel design took off, vehicles got faster and faster.
1．What might explain why transport wheels didn't become popular for some time?
A．Few knew how to use transport wheels.
B．Humans carried farming tools just as well.
C．Animals were a good means of transport.
D．The existence of transport wheels was not known.
2．What do we know about road design from the passage?
A．It was easier than wheel design.
B．It improved after big changes in vehicle design.
C．It was promoted by fast-moving vehicles.
D．It provided conditions for wheel design to develop.
3．How is the last paragraph mainly developed?
A．By giving examples.
B．By making comparisons.
C．By following time order.
D．By making classifications.
4．What is the passage mainly about?
A．The beginning of road design.
B．The development of transport wheels.
C．The history of public transport.
D．The invention of fast-moving vehicles.

The Couch Surfing network is an online community stretching across the globe with over one and a half million members.The basic concept is to provide a platform for travellers to contact people who are willing to put them up free of charge.Travellers connect with potential hosts online and，if they like each other，exchange details to make further arrangements.
Basil is one traveller from Switzerland who is currently couch surfing with a Chinese host in Beijing.“I thought staying in hostel is nice but you mostly meet foreigners and speak English.If you use Couch Surfing you have a chance to meet people living here and really get a chance to know the life of the place you visit.”Basil was speaking during a regular meeting of the Beijing network of Couch Surfing with a membership of almost 2,000.
Although some people may have concerns about meeting complete strangers and giving them full access to your house，Beijing group member Fred Sharp from California says that the Couch Surfing community is one that generally attracts trustworthy people.
“I have never had a problem with guests.I'd say that this Couch Surfing community worldwide is a fairly trustworthy community.I say，always be cautious，make sure that you read everyone's profile that you're considering hosting，and if it doesn't feel right just say‘no’，it's OK.”
Originally launched in the US as a non-profit organisation in 2004，Couch Surfing is growing fast across the world.China is no exception with around 30,000 members and hundreds more signing up each week.One of them is Beijing resident Hai Yan who joined in November 2009.She says the first time she hosted a guest was a very positive experience.“My first guest was from Italy.He was very kind and helpful.He bought me a present from Italy，a handbag.It's a famous brand！”
As the organisation grows from strength to strength，hotel owners across the world will be watching very closely and possibly thinking twice about raising their prices too high.
5．The Couch Surfing network is intended to________.
A．give reliable information about hotels
B．provide people with a platform to contact each other
C．find potential hosts who want to supply travellers with couches
D．offer travelers convenience to find suitable hosts for free accommodations
6．According to Fred Sharp，________.
A．couch surfers can fully rely on Couch Surfing community
B．Couch Surfing community enables you to meet different people
C．Couch Surfing community is trusted by all couch surfers
D．couch surfers may form a judgment on hosts and make a final decision
7．We can infer from the passage that________.
A．Couch Surfing has a long history
B．Hai Yan is satisfied with her host
C．Couch Surfing is getting popular in China
D．Basil works at the Beijing Network
8．The last paragraph suggests that hotels will________.
A．be replaced by the organisation
B．probably not charge too much
C．not consider raising their prices
D．show no concern about the organisation

1．C 细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句话可知，交通轮子没有流行开来是因为动物在运载农具和人方面做得很好，所以C项表达正确。
2．D 推理判断题。根据第三段第二句的介绍可知，轮子需要在平坦的表面滚动。根据第四段最后两句话可知，柏油马路的出现使轮子设计成功，车辆跑得越来越快。这都与D项的意思“道路的设计为轮子设计的发展奠定了基础”相吻合，所以选择D项。

6．D 细节理解题。由倒数第三段“...and if it doesn't feel right just say‘no’，it's OK.”如果对对方感觉不好的话，就拒绝对方。可知沙发客应该先对对方做出判断，然后再决定是不是让对方来住。

You have heard the expression“horse sense”．As you may imagine，it came from the time when the majority of people traveled in vehicles drawn by horses.A horse does have a lot of common sense.and there are many true stories about horses having saved their drivers from danger of death.
Today for the most part，people travel by train，ship，airplane，and car，but very little by the use of horses.Modern vehicles are propelled by engines，and an engine does not have any sense.In case of danger，many horses could be depended on to help.Not so with the engine；the driver must do all the things.
In recent years，the speed of traveling has increased greatly.With the increased speed comes greatly increased danger.The driver of a powerful engine needs to be careful.A moment of being careless may cost a life.In order to drive today，a person must be able to see clearly，and he must learn and follow carefully the rules for safety on the road.Greater attention is the price we pay for using a machine instead of a horse.

Parking has long been a major headache for drivers in Shanghai.The Transportation Department is mapping_out a new plan for the city's parking system.There are one million cars on the road in Shanghai but only enough public parking spaces to provide room for 15 percent of these vehicles.It is no wonder that local drivers get so worried trying to find a place to park.
The city is seeing a rise in private car owners.In March，the city sent out 2,000 private car licenses(牌照)，the highest number of licenses ever sent out in a month.And price rose to 14,600 yuan,500 more than in February.Industry experts say this suggests that local people have a strong，active interest in buying cars.
By the year 2020，the number of automobiles in Shanghai will probably reach two million.If one parking lot is for each car，then a lot of new parking spaces should be built for these vehicles.
Downtown Shanghai is most short of parking spaces.However，experts point out that simply building more parking lots in downtown areas is not practical and doesn't provide an ideal solution(解决办法)．The idea of a“Park &.Ride”system has been suggested.This means that drivers can leave their vehicles in car parks nearby subway or bus stations and ride public transport to go downtown.Based on this idea，the city will limit the number of parking lots in downtown areas and demand higher parking fees but build more parking areas near main subway and bus stops.
1．The underlined phrase“mapping out”(in Paragraph 1)means________.
A．making B．arguing
C．controlling D．inspiring
2．About ________drivers can find places to park their cars in Shanghai now.
A．850,000 B．1,000,000
C．150,000 D．2,000,000
3．What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?
A．The city sent out more private car licenses in February.
B．Less and less people bought cars in March.
C．The city issued less private licenses in March.
D．More and more people are going to buy cars.
4．According to the idea of a “Park & Ride” system，the city will ________.
A．issue more private car licenses
B．build more parking lots near bus stops
C．encourage people to buy more cars
D．build more parking areas in downtown

Frank had a very fascinating way of helping the guard dogs he trained to feel respected，protected and loved.Here is how he accomplished(完成)this.First of all，he started out by treating his dogs with love and respect，and by showing them enough patience as they were learning.
Then，the next thing he did was a true action of genius(天才)．He would cut a small piece of carpet for each dog he trained.He would place the carpet in the dog's sleeping area，for him to lay on each night.He would also take this carpet during the day and set it down in various locations，and sit the dog on the carpet，as he praised the dog for being good.Whenever he moved to a new place，he would have the dog stand up，and he would pick up the carpet and carry it to the new place，set it down，sit the dog down，and again，praise the dog for being a“good boy”．
Next，Frank would teach the dog to pick up the piece of carpet himself，and carry it to wherever they were going.The dog would then set the piece of carpet down when they stopped，and sit on top of it，with Frank all of the time praising him for being a good dog.Now Frank said，“The dog begins to feel that he truly belongs in every place that he travels to，and no matter where he goes，he receives my love and appreciation.”
And I ask you now，if this strategy(策略)works so clearly with dogs，would the same basic strategy not work just as well with human beings？Ask yourself，“What is the small piece of carpet you carry around with you wherever you go？”“Would your life not be very different if you changed your piece of carpet to one of self love and appreciation？”
