Air pollution is a l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eading cause of cancer and classified among Group 1,or top, human carcinogens (致癌物质), said the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is the World Health Organization's (WHO) cancer agency, on Oct 17,2013.
The most widely used system for classifying carcinogens comes from the IARC, which places them into five groups. Group 1 carcinogens definitely cause cancer in humans. Group 2A is probably carcinogenic to humans, Group 2B is possibly carcinogenic, the carcinogenicity of Group 3 in humans is unclassifiable, and Group 4 is probably not carcinogenic to humans. Only a little more than 100 are classified as Group 1 cancer-causing substances, including ultraviolet radiation and tobacco smoke.
“Our task was to evaluate the air everyone breathes rather than focus on specific air pollutants,” the lARC's Dana Loomis said in a statement. “The results from the reviewed studies point in the same direction: the risk of developing lung cancer is significantly increased in people exposed to air pollution.”
In 2010, lung cancer resulting from air pollution killed 223,000 people worldwide, and there was also convincing evidence that it increases the risk of bladder (膀腕) cancer, according to the IARC.
Air pollution is already known to raise risks for a wide range of illnesses, including respiratory and heart diseases.
Air pollution is global, although the levels of it vary over space and time.
Loomis said people in Asia, eastern North America, some places in Central America and Mexico, as well as North Africa have relatively high exposure. Developing countries with large populations and booming manufacturing sectors, such as China, are particularly at risk.
Many cities in China, such as Beijing, frequently see smog. This week, Harbin, the capital city of Heilongjiang province, became the first Chinese city to officially suspend classes due to serious smog
Many developed countries face similar problems, although to a lesser degree than most developing nations. In Europe, levels of many pollutants have fallen. But between 91 and 96 percent of Europeans living in cities are exposed to levels of PM2.5—tiny particles with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers—that are higher than the WHO safety limits, says a report published by the European Environment Agency on Oct 15.
Although both the composition and levels of air pollution can vary dramatically from one location to the other, the 1ARC said its conclusions apply to all regions of the world.
“Given the scale of the exposure affecting people worldwide, this report should send a strong signal to the international community to take action without further delay,” said Christopher Wild, director of the IARC.
1、What might be the best title of the passage
A.Signals of air pollution
B.Safety limits of air pollution
C.Air pollution, cancer risk
D.Air pollution, smog risk
2、What’s the main task of IARC
A.To focus on cancer-causing substances.
B.To evaluate the air quality.
C.To study the developing risk of cancer.
D.To send signals to the international community.
3、Why should the inte ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rnational community take action without further delay
A.The composition and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) levels of air pollution vary from place to place.
B.More and mo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re people in developing countries are exposed to air pollution.
C.Developed countri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es face air pollution, the level of which is higher than the safety limits.
D.A large number of people worldwide are exposed to air pollution.

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。
Meeting people fr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )om another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different culture ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s emphasize the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job.In many European countries -- like the UK or France -- people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lso be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand.I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled.After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ifferent parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.
47.In some c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ountries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to _____.
A.develop closer relations B.share the same culture
C.get to know each other D.keep each other company
48.The author menti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ons his experience in Thailand to show that _________.
A.the English prefer to make long speeches
B.too many words are of no use
C.people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature
D.even talk and silence can be culturally different
49.According to the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better
A.By sharing diff ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )erent ways of life. B.By accepting different habits.
C.By recognizing dif ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ferent values. D.By speaking each other' s languages.
50.What would be the best title for the text
A.Multicultural Environment. B.Cross-Cultural Differences.
C.How to Understan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d Each Other. D.How to Build Up a Relationship.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项。
Stage fright or perfo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rmance anxiety is the anxiety, or fear which may occur in an individual by the requirement to perform in front of an audience. It is most commonly seen in school situations, like stand-up projects and class speeches. It has numerous forms: heart beating fast, trembling hands and legs, sweaty hands, dry mouth etc.
In fact, most ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of the fear occurs before you step on stage. Once you’re up there, it usually goes away. Thus, it is a phenomenon that you must learn to control. Try to think of stage fright in a positive way. It heightens your energy, adds color to your cheeks. With these good side effects you will actually look healthier and more physically attractive.
Many of the top ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) performers in the world get stage fright so you are in good company. Stage fright may come and go or decrease, but it usually does not disappear permanently. You must concentrate on getting the feeling out and present what you have prepared calmly.
Remember “Nobody” ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ever died from stage fright. But, according to surveys, many people would rather die than give a speech. If that applies to you, and you are an unlucky guy who is with stage fright the whole time, try out some of the strategies(策略) as follows to help get yourself under control. Realize that you may never overcome stage fright, but you can learn to control it, and use it to your advantage.
Strategies are as follows when the program begins:
1) If legs are trembling, lean on table or shift legs or move.
2) Don’t hold not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es. The audience can see them shake. Use three-by-five cards instead.
3) Use eye contact. Look at the friendliest faces in the audience.
Remember nervousness ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )doesn’t show one-tenth as much as it feels. Before each presentation, make a short list of the items you think will make you feel better. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different combinations. You never know which ones will work best until you try. Use these steps to control stage fright so it doesn’t control you. Once you are used to stage fright, you will find you on the road to a great speech-maker.

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。
Census figures (调查数 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )据) published last Friday indicate that the number of women in management jobs rose by 95% between 1980 and 1990. Most evidence shows that women are still in the lowest class of management and in the lowest-paying industries.
I first noticed ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that girls were different from boys when I was about 4 years old. No experiences either in my personal life or in my business life have caused me to change my opinion. Throughout my adult life, however, I have had to evaluate again and again these differences between men and women and how they affect the way men and women relate to one another and to the environment in which they work. Working with women has given me deep understanding I would never have gained in any other way.
Women are working ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at a decided disadvantage in the business world created by men to make things comfortable for men. To me, this means men often understand the rules without having to be taught or even having to think about them. It is not so easy for women. If I may fall back on typically male sports terms, women have had to learn both the game and the game plan at the same time.
At least in m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y own observation, women in business tend to be more honest than men. A direct question to a woman often results in a direct response. This quality makes it more difficult for women to “yes” an employer. It also makes women more trustworthy than the men who often can’t, or won’t, give a straight answer to a question. Women are also more open than men about their feelings, their ambitions, and everyday situations in the office. This makes them easier to be hurt than men. Traditionally, women in business have been more severely judged than men. They have had to be better in a job than a man to get ahead.
41.What is this passage mainly about
A.the unfair treatment the working women suffering in business
B.the differences between working men and women
C.the qualities of the working men and women
D.the author’s pity on the working women
42.The author mentions the “sports terms” to show that __________.
A.women are more diligent than men
B.women are often looked down upon by men
C.women are slower in learning new things than men
D.men always make things comfortable for themselves
43.How many good quali ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ties of women are mentioned in the last paragraph
A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five.
44.Which of the fol ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lowing will most probably be the first sentence of the fifth paragraph
A.For example, I have ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) interviewed many people for the job of advertising salesperson.
B.Another difference between working men and women is that men take more chances.
C.Of all the differenc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es that I have noticed, one in particular stands out.
D.On the other hand, men also enjoy more rights than women.

(2014·辽宁省大连市高三双基测试)
Now many young people ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) are traveling around the world on their own,not because they have no one to travel with,but because they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life.“It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.
In foreign countries, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )with no one to help you read a map,look after you if you get ill,or lend you money if your wallet is stolen,it is challenging.This is what drives young people to travel alone.It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson de ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year.He set up a website,The Aussie Nomad,to document his adventures.He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier.“The people you meet,the places you visit,or the things you do,everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30 year old man.
Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”,which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”.He said,“The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task.” “I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”
The great 19th centu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ry explorer John Muir once said,“Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”
1.Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with
A.Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.
B.It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.
C.It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.
D.Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.
2.Traveling alone is challenging because________.
A.you have to make things on your own
B.it is hard for you to prove yourself to others
C.you can only depend on yourself whatever happens
D.it will finally build your character
3.What can we infer about Chris Richardson
A.He started traveling alone at an early age.
B.He was once shot in the arm.
C.He used to work as a salesman.
D.His website inspires others a lot.
4.What is the best title for the passage
A.Travel Abroad B.Travel Unaccompanied
C.Travel Light D.Travel Wide and Far

Researchers in over ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )80 nations are taking part in a project to conduct a decade-long census(统计) of sea life. Scientists presented some of their findings at a recent conference as the project neared its completion.
In deep icy water ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s under Antarctica, scientists found bulbous tunicates, an underground animal, and many newly-discovered creatures believed to be related to starfish (海星) and other marine(海洋的)creatures.
Elsewhere in t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he world’s oceans, they have recently discovered many kinds of underwater life forms new to science. It is all part of a research effort called the Census of Marine Life.
“There are abo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ut 2,000 scientists worldwide involved, ” said Bob Gagosian, President/ CEO of the Consortium for Ocean Leadership. Gagosian helps manage the project. “Everywhere they’ve gone they’ve found new things, ” he says. “The ocean basically is unexplored from the point of view of marine living things.”
Researchers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )have placed small markers on hundreds of fish and marine animals to track by satellite their migration(迁移)routes and to discover places where sea life gathers.
According to Ron O’D ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or, a senior scientist with the Census of Marine Life, knowledge of life on the ocean floor is especially limited. “90% of all the information we have is from the top hundred meters of the ocean,” O’Dor states.
And he says the se ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a floor is, on average, at a depth of 4, 000 meters. And so, as some machines dive far below what people have previously seen, scientists are discovering new species of plants, animals and living things.
Since the census proj ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ect began, more than 5,300 new marine animals have been found. Ocean researchers say they hope to catalogue 230,000 species during the census —which some say is only a small part of all the creatures living in the sea.
72.Why do the researc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hers place small markers on many marine creatures
A.To catch them. B.To research them.
C.To kill them. D.To protect them.
73.From what Ron O’Dor says, we can conclude that .
A.human beings only know a little about marine life
B.the oceans don’t need to be further explored
C.he considers exploring the ocean a dangerous thing
D.the marine creatures mainly live on the top of the ocean
74.What can we learn from the passage
A.About 2,000 scientists from America are involved in the project.
B.The census of sea life will last for ten years.
C.230,000 new marine animals have been found.
D.The sea floor is at a depth of 400 meters.
75.Why does the author write the passage
A.To tell the news that new marine creatures are being discovered
B.To encourage people to find new marine creatures
C.To prove the importance of marine creatures
D.To introduce the newly-discovered creatures.

阅读下面短文,按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求,在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。
There was once a beau ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tiful girl who hated herself because she was blind. She also hated everyone else, except her __1__ (love) boyfriend who was considerate and was always there to help her. One day she told her boyfriend, “You __2__ (be) so kind to me and if I could only see the world, I should marry you.”
One day, someon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e donated a pair of eyes to her. Doctors spent several hours doing __3__ (operate) for her and the boy accompanied her at the bedside all the time. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, her boyfriend __4__ (include), of course.
He asked her, “Now __ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )5__ you can see the world, will you marry me?” The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind, too.
The sight of __6 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )__ ugly closed eyelids shocked her and made her feel sick. She had not expected that, and __7__ thought of looking at them in the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.
Her boyfriend le ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ft __8__ tears and a few days later sent a note to her, __9__ said,“Please take good care of your eyes, my dear, because before they are yours, they were __10__!”
After reading the wor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ds, the girl burst out crying, regretting what she had done to the boy.
1. [解析] 结合语境考查非谓语 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )动词。由下文“who was considerate and was always there to help her”可得出答案。loving是由love去掉e后加ing构成的,loving意为“充满爱的”。
[答案] loving
2. [解析] 考查时态。在间接引语中,当动作或状态现在仍然如此时,可以保持原时态。故此处应用are。
[答案] are
3. [解析] 考查词性转换。由设空特点可以看出此处需要一个名词作动词do的宾语,所以应用operate的名词形式operation。
[答案] operation
4. [解析] 考查独立 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )主格结构。注意主句和“her boyfriend________”之间缺少连接词,而且boyfriend与动词include之间为动宾关系,所以用过去分词与“her boyfriend”一起构成独立主格结构。
[答案] included
5. [解析] 结合语境考查连词。now that意为“既然,由于”。句意为“他问她‘既然你见到了光明,你愿意嫁给我吗?’”。
[答案] that
6. [解析] 结合语境考查形容词性物主代词。此处是指男孩的眼睑紧闭,故用his较为妥当。
[答案] his
7. [解析] 结合语境考查冠词。名词前设空答案首先考虑限定词,结合题意可知此处应填the。thought意为”想法,主意”。
[答案] the
8. [解析] 结合语境考查介词。由语境判断,女孩的做法使男孩非常伤心,男孩流着泪离开了。in tears“泪流满面地”。
[答案] in
9. [解析] 结合语境考查非限 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )制性定语从句。关系代词which代指前面的先行词note,在定语从句中充当主语。注意空格前面的逗号,此处which不可用that替换。
[答案] which
10.[解析] 结合语境考查 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )名词性物主代词。由前面的“before they are yours”可知,后面也应用名词性物主代词;此处是男孩留言的内容,应用第一人称,所以用mine。

阅读理解。阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
It is evident that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )there is a close connection between the capacity to use language and the capacities covered by the verb “to think”. Indeed, some writers have identified thinking with using words: Plato coined the saying, “In think ing the soul is talking to itself”; J. B. Watson reduced thinking to inhibited(拘谨的) speech located in the minute(微小的) movements or tensions of the physiological mechanisms involved in speaking; and although Ryle is careful to point out that there are many senses in which a person is said to think and in which words are not in evidence, he has also said that say ing something in a specific frame of mind is thinking a thought.
Is thinking reduc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ible to, or dependent upon, language habits It would seem that many thinking situations are hardly distinguishable from the skillful use of language, although there are some others in which language is not involved. Thought cannot be simply identified with using language. It may be the case, of course, that the non-linguistic skills involved in thought can only be acquired and developed if the learner is able to use and understand language. However, this question is one which we cannot hope to answer in this book. Obviously being able to use language makes for a considerable development in all one’s capacities but how precisely this comes about we cannot say.
At the common-se ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nse level it appears that there is often a distinction between thought and the words we employ to communicate with other people. We often have to struggle hard to find words to capture what our thinking has already grasped, and when we do find words we sometimes feel that they fail to do their job properly. Again when we report or describe our thinking to other people we do not merely report unspoken words and sentences. Such sentences do not always occur in thinking, and when they do they are merged with vague imagery and the hint of unconscious or subliminal(潜意识) activities going on just out of rage. Thinking, as it happens, is more like struggling, striving, or searching for something than it is like talking or reading.
Again the study of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )speech disorders due to brain injury disease suggests that patients can think without having adequate control over their language. Some patients, for example, fail to find the names of objects presented to them and are unable to describe simple events which they witness; they even find it difficult to interpret long written notices. But they succeed in playing games of chess or draughts. They can use the concepts needed for chess playing or draught playing but are unable to use many of the concepts in ordinary language. How they manage to do this we do not know. Presumably human beings have various capacities for thinking situations which are likewise independent of language.
1、According to th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e theory of "thought" devised by J. B. Watson, thinking is_______.
A. talking to the soul B. concealed speech
C. speaking nonverbally D. a non-linguistic behavior
2、What does the au ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )thor think about the relationship between language and thinking
A. The ability to use language enhances one’s capacity of thinking.
B. Words and thinking match more often than not.
C. Thinking never goes without language.
D. Language and thinking are generally distinguishable.
3、According to the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )author, when we intend to describe our thoughts, we______.
A. merely report internal speech
B. have to search for proper words in the way we read
C. are overwhelmed with vague imagery
D. sometimes are not able to find appropriate words
4、Why are pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tients with speech disorders able to think without having adequate control of language
A. They use different concepts. B. They do not think linguistically.
C. It still remains an unsolved mystery. D. Thinking is independent of language.

阅读理解。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。
An idea that star ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ted in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond.The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.
In addition ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to encouraging reading as a pursuit(追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools.The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched(发起) the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998.Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.
In Chicago, the m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ayor(市长) appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program.As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city.Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.
The only prob ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lem came up in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population.This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity can be achieved.Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.
Ultimately, as Na ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ncy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.
66.What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy
A.To invite authors to guide readers.
B.To involve people in community service.
C.To encourage people to read and share.
D.To promote the friendship between cities.
67.Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project
A.They came from many different backgrounds.
B.They were too busy to read a book.
C.They had little interest in reading.
D.They lacked support from the local government.
68.According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out
A.In large communities with little sense of unity.
B.In large cities where libraries are far from home.
C.In medium-sized cities with a diverse population.
D.In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.
69.The underlin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean .
A.exchanged ideas wit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h each other B.discussed the meaning of a word
C.gained life experience D.used the same language
70.According to Na ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ncy, the degree of students of the project is judged by .
A.the careful selection of a proper book
B.the number of people who benefit from reading
C.the growing popularity of the writers
D.the number of books that each person reads

When was the l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ast time you did something really fun with one of your parents—just the two of you
Parents who take their young children to music,swimming and art classes often stop arranging such activities once their kids are older and in school all day.But it doesn’t have to be that way.Doing something enjoyable with your kids just might make you look at each other in a whole new way,especially if you do it through a class or an event.When parent and child become students together,it puts them on the same level,at least for a while.
“I really like pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rents to come to class with their kids—they start sharing things and talking about what they’re doing and what they like,” said art teacher Pyper Dixon.
However,finding something new in common is a big choice for them,especially when kids get involved in sports and other after school activities.But it’s possible to learn a new skill or hobby together.
That’s certainly ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )true of Lauren,11,from Silver Spring,who is in Dixon’s class with her father,Dennis.“I was just going to drop her off,” Dennis said,“but Dixon persuaded me to stay.”
Now Lauren gets to n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ag her father about doing his art homework.“He always leaves it to the last minute,” she said.“But then he’ll turn around to do amazing drawings,” she added.“We have different styles of drawing,so it’s interesting to talk it over with him.”
Without the Saturday morning art class,Dennis said,he would be reading the paper,and Lauren would be on her own in her room or on the computer.But they talk more now.“I can’t think of an experience where you communicate with your kid so closely,” he said.
1.The author raises the question at the beginning to________.
A.expect an answer B.criticize some parents
C.introduce the topic D.support his argument
2.What does Dixon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) think is the benefit of parent and child studying art together
A.They will become equal.
B.They will communicate more.
C.The child will learn art much better.
D.The parent will learn something new.
3.The underlined word “nag” in the text probably means________.
A.urge B.help
C.ignore D.teach
4.We can learn from the text that________.
A.Lauren used to talk a lot with her father

When 47-year-o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ld volunteer Susan Boyle stepped on to the stage of Britain’s Got Talent and announced she was unemployed, had never been married and “never been kissed, actually”, few in the audience would have wondered why. This Ms. Boyle, looking unfashionable, from a village in Scotland, shocked the three judges and the audience with the song “I Dreamed a Dream” from the musical Les Miserables on a show of “Britain’s Got Talent”, one of the hottest reality shows in Britain.
She couldn’t hide the awkwardness when walking to the center of the stage in a housedress, and everyone—including the judges—seemed laughing at her when she said she wanted to be as successful as Elaine Paige. As soon as she began singing, however, everyone present fell silent, then rose within seconds to applaud her incredible voice as the celebrity(名人) judges sat open-mouthed, and remained standing to the end.
After her perf ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ormance, one of the judges Piers Morgan said, “Without doubt that was the biggest surprise I’ve had in three years of this show. When you stood there everyone was laughing at you. No one is laughing now. That was amazing.” Actress Amanda Holden followed, “I am so thrilled because I know that everybody was against you. I honestly think that we were all being cynical(愤世嫉俗的)and I think that’s the biggest wake-up call ever.”
Susan obviously ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )won over the hearts of millions around the world with sensation spreading across the Atlantic. Hollywood actors Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore—who between them have nearly 1.5 million followers—speak highly of her. Kutcher posted a link to the video clip(片段). The Scottish talent made her live American debut(露面) via satellite connection on CBS’s The Early Show, doing an interview and singing live from her room. And she already accepted an invitation from talk show host Oprah Winfrey.
Now Boyle has become o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ne of the world’s hottest celebrities. The video clip of her performance has been viewed more than 50 million times on YouTube, becoming a hit on the Internet. Not long ago she came to China and was warmly welcomed.

1. [解析] 结合语境考查非谓语动词 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。此处分词的完成式表示状态位于主句谓语动词died之前。谓语动词之后设空,且提示词为动词时,答案首选非谓语动词。

2. [解析] 结合语境考查where连接的地点状语从句。此处意为“她在她住的地方去世了”。此处指她住的地方,所以用where。
[答案] where
3. [解析] 结合语境考查介词。此处用 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )来说明轮船行驶的方向,所以用for。bound for“前往……的”。此处意为“轮船朝着美洲方向前进”。

[答案] had recovered
7. [解析] 结合语境考查不定冠词。此处用a表示泛指,staff nurse意为“医院护士”。此处意为“该养老院的一位护士”。
[答案] A

A punctual person ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.
The unpunctu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )al man, on the other hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is for ever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset as well as others’. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it. He knows that he can not get through huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to.
Failure to be p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )unctual in keeping one’s appointments is a sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.
Unpunctuality, moreo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ver, is very harmful when it comes to doing one’s duty, whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow men.
1. What is an unpunctual person like
A. He always does a thing when it should be done.
B. He is always very busy.
C. He always does a thing at the wrong time.
D. He always keeps the appointments.
2. Why is unpunctuality very harmful
A. Because it makes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a man lose many chances of doing important affairs.
B. Because it makes a man lose friends.
C. Because it makes a man work quickly.
D. Because it makes a man be more respected by others.
3. According to the passage, which is right
A. The punctual person has no much work to do.
B. The unpunctual person is very rich. (from www.)
C. The unpunctual person is often respected by his friends.
D. The unpunctual person loses what can’t be regained again.
4. According to the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )passage, what are good manners when you are invited to a party
A. Arriving at ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the appointed time. B. Arriving before all other guests.
C. Arriving after a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll other guests. D. Keeping all other guests waiting.
5. Why is a person always unpunctual
A. He is too busy. B. He has too much work to do.
C. He does care muc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h about time. D. He doesn’t manage his time properly.

阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
The Western has be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en the favorite type for American adventure story since the nineteenth centu ry. While the American West was being settled, newspapers and "dime novels" could depend on stories of the frontier settlements and tell tales about living in the untamed wilderness to sell. The public back East was eager to read about the West, even if the stories were more fiction than fact.
In 1902, Owen Wist ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er published his novel The Virginian, which was one of the first novels to treat the Western as a serious literary form; the novel still sold well and had inspired several movies and a television series. In 1905, Bertha H. Bower and Zane Grey published their first novels, and the popular Western novels had continued to flourish from that day on, with current novels by Luke Short, Max Brand, and Louis L’ Amour carrying on the tradition.
The first Western ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) movie appeared even earlier than these serious Western novels. Before the turn of the century, an associate of Edison’s had filmed Cripple Creek Barroom Scene, a few seconds of film showing the inside of a saloon, to help publicize the invention of the movie camera. In 1903 the Edison’ company filmed the first "full-length" Western — The Great Train Robbery. The film lasts less than fifteen minutes, but a story is told its entirety. In the movie, bandits (强盗) rob a train and its passengers, killing the engineer, and find themselves tracked down by a posse. Audiences loved the movie. Some theaters were actually opened for the single purpose of showing The Great Train Rob bery and only later realized that they could do equally well showing other movies. The film was so suc cessful that other companies, and finally even the Edison company itself, began producing copies and other versions of The Great Train Robbery. Ironically, in" an era when the West was still very real —-Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma were all territories rather than states in 1903 — The Great Train Robbery was filmed in New Jersey.
1. The purpose of this passage is to________.
A. discuss the making of the movie The Great Train Robbery
B. discuss the early Western novels
C. discuss the art of movie making
D. trace the devel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )opment of the Western as an American adventure story tradition
2. We can conclude from this passage that________.
A. people lost interest in the West after 1903
B. Owen Wister was an ex-cowboy
C. New Jersey was still "untamed wilderness" in 1903
D. films were fai ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rly uncommon at the time The Great Train Robbery was made
3. The passage suggests that________.
A. Edison’s invention of the movie camera happened;by accident
B. movie houses didn’t make much-money in the early days
C. Easterners were fascinated by the " wild West"
D. The Great ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Train Robbery was poorly received by the public because it lacked a plot
4. As used in this passage, the word “literary” means________.
A. humorous B. financial
C. appropriate to literature D. amateur
【答案解析】
1. D 推断题。从190 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )2年出版的小说,1903年拍的一部电影,到1905年的第一批小说等,作者如此不吝惜笔墨,是为了追溯具有冒险故事传统的美国西部发展史。故D项是正确答案。
2. D 推断题。第三段,通过T ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he Great Train Robbery影片的成功放映,人们才开始认识到在影剧院也可以同样放映一些其它影片,于是其它制片公司甚至于the Edison公司本身便开始生产其副本及The Great Train Robbery的其它译本。通过以上信息,我们得出的结论应是D项所表达的内容,那一时期的电影并非相当普及。
3. C 推断题。第一段最后一句的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )was eager to read about the West(渴望看一些有关西部的书),与题中were fascinated by the wild West (对荒芜的西部着了迷)表达了同样的信息,故C项为正确答案。
4. C 词义题。根据上下文关系以及关键词语novels和form可推知literary的词义。因为“小说”与“形式”应属于“文学”范围。
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。
For eighty four da ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ys old Santiago had not caught a single fish. At first a young boy, Manolin, had shared his bad fortune, but after the fortieth luckless day the boy’s father told his son to go in another boat. From that time on, Santiago worked alone. The boy loved the old fisherman and always helped him with money and food. Usually, they would talk about the fish they had taken in luckier times or about American baseball after supper, while at night, alone in his cottage, Santiago dreamed of lions on the beaches of Africa, where he had gone years before. He no longer dreamed of his dead wife.
On the eighty-fif ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )th day, Santiago set off to fish before dawn. Two of his baits(饵) were fresh tunas(金枪鱼) the boy had given him, as well as sardines(沙丁鱼) to cover his hooks. Then he set his lines which went straight down into deep dark water.
As the sun rose he saw other boats in toward shore. A bird showed him where dolphin were chasing some flying fish. This time Santiago saw tuna jumping in the sunlight. A small one took the hook on his line. Pulling the fish aboard, the old man thought it a good fortune.
Toward noon a marlin, a common fish in the sea, started eating the bait which was one hundred meters down. Gently the old man played the fish, a big one, as he knew from the weight on the line. At last he struck to settle the hook. The fish did not come out of the surface. Instead, it began to pull the boat to the northwest. The old man followed it. Although he was alone and no longer strong, he had his skill and knew many tricks. He waited patiently for the fish to be tired .
It was cold after the sunset. When something took one of his remaining baits, he cut the line with his knife. Once the marlin leaned suddenly, pulling Santiago forward on his face and cutting his cheek. By dawn his left hand was cramped(抽筋的). The fish had headed northward; there was no land in sight. Hungry, he cut pieces from the tuna and chewed them slowly.
That morning the fi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sh jumped. Seeing it, Santiago knew he had hooked the biggest marlin he had ever seen. Then the fish went down and turned toward the east. Santiago drank a little water from the bottle during the hot afternoon.
Close to nightfa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll a dolphin took the small hook he had rebaited. He lifted it aboard, careful. After he had rested, he cut meat from the dolphin and kept also the two flying fish he found in its stomach. That night he slept. He awoke to feel the line running through his fingers as the fish jumped. Feeding line slowly, he tried to tire the marlin. After the fish slowed its run, he washed his cut hands in sea water and ate one of the flying fish. At sunrise the marlin began to circle. Faint, he worked to bring the big fish nearer with each turn. Almost exhausted, he finally drew his big fish alongside and drove in the harpoon(鱼叉). The fish was two feet longer than the boat. No fish like it had ever been seen in Havana harbor.
An hour later, he sighted the first shark, a fierce Mako, and it came in fast to chase after the dead marlin. The old man struck the shark with his harpoon. The Mako rolled and sank, carrying the harpoon with it and leaving the marlin bloody. He knew the smell would spread. Watching, he saw two sharks closing in. He struck at one with his knife and watched it sliding down into deep water. The other he killed while it tore at the flesh of the marlin. When the third appeared, he thrust(刺) it with the knife. The other sharks came at sunset. At first he tried to beat them with the tiller(舵柄) from the boat, but his hands were bleeding and there were too many in the sea. In the darkness, as he steered toward the harbor of Havana, he heard them hitting the boat again and again. But the old man thought only of his steering and his great tiredness. He had gone out too far and the sharks had beaten him. He knew they would leave him nothing but the stripped skeleton of the big marlin.
All lights were out when he sailed into the little harbor and beached his boat. He could just make out the white backbone and the upstanding tail of the fish. Once he fell under their weight and lay patiently until he could gather his strength to go on. In his cottage he fell on his bed and went to sleep.
55. The above story is adapted from __________.
A. Treasure Island B. The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer
C. The Old Man And The Sea D. The Son Of The Sea
56. Why did the man feel that he could be lucky this time
A. Because a small tuna took the hook on his line.
B. Because he dreamed about the American lions.
C. Because he saw many flying fish were chased by the dolphins.
D. Because a lot of sharks followed his boat.
57. According to the text, which statement is NOT true about Manolin
A. The boy had mercy on Santiago.
B. The boy often shared his stories with Santiago.
C. The boy showed his great concerns to Santiago.
D. The boy was Santiago’s adopted son.
58. Why does ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Santiago let the marlin lead his boat instead of pulling the big fish up
A. He wanted to ki ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll the marlin first before he pulled it up to the boat.
B. He was too tired and hungry to pull the big fish up.
C. His experie ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nce told him not to do so before the fish was tired out.
D. He wanted to use the marlin as a bait to catch the sharks.
59. Which senten ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ce below can be used to best describe Santiago’s character

C. “Almost ex ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hausted, he finally drew his big fish alongside and drove in the harpoon.”(Para7)
D. “Once he f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ell under their weight and lay patiently until he could gather his strength to go on .”(Para 9)

The question of what c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hildren learn, and how they should learn, is continually being debated and redebated. Nobody dares any longer to defend the old system, the learning of lessons parrot-fashion, the grammar-with-a-whip system, which was good enough for our grandparents. The theories of modem psychology have stepped in to argue that we must understand the need of children. Children are not just small adults; they are children who must be respected as much.
Well, you may sa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y, this is as it should be, a good idea. But think further. What happens "Education" becomes the responsibility not of teachers, but of psychologists (心里学家). What happens then Teachers worry too much about the psychological implications (暗示) of their lessons, and forget about the subjects themselves. If a child dislikes a lesson, the teacher feels that it is his fault, not the child’s. So teachers worry whether history is "relevant" to modern young children. And do they dare to recount stories about violence Or will this make the children themselves violent Can they tell their classes about children of different races, or will this encourage racial hatred Why teach children to write grammatical sentences Verbal expression is better. Sums Arithmetic No: Real-life mathematical situations are more understandable.
You see, you can go ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) too far. Influenced by educational theorists, who have nothing better to do than to write books about their ideas, teachers leave their teacher-training colleges filled with grand, psychological ideas about children and their needs. They make elaborate, sophisticated (精致的,复杂的) preparations and try out their "modem methods" on the long-suffering children. Since one "modem method" rapidly replaces another the poor kids will have had a good bellyful by the time they leave school. Frequently the modem methods are so sophisticated that they fail to be understood by the teachers, let alone the children; even more often, the relaxed discipline so essential for the " informal" feelings the class must have, prevents all but a handful of children from learning anything.
1. People do not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) dare defend the old system mainly because under the old system________.
A. too much grammar was taught to children
B. children were spoiled (宠坏)
C. children were treated as grown-ups
D. children were made to learn passively(被动的)
2. What view do the modem psychologists hold
A. Children must be understood and respected.
B. Children are small adults and know what they need.
C. Children are better off without learning lessons.
D. Education of children is the responsibility of psychologists.
3. What happens w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hen teachers pay too much attention to the psychology of their lessons
A. They find that the children dislike the lessons.
B. They tend to blame students for their failure.
C. They do not pay enough attention to the actual lessons.
D. They no longer want to teach children history.
4. Grammatical sent ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ences are regarded as unimportant because ________.
A. it is better to use verbs only
B. words are said out of natural feelings only
C. talking freely ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and naturally without sentences is a better form of expression
D. it is felt t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat formal grammar rules might cause unnatural expressions
5. According t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o the passage, the modern methods are understood by ________.
A. neither teachers nor pupils

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。
I was walking ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )along the deserted main street of a small seaside town in the north of England looking somewhere to make a phone call.My car had broken down outside the town and I wanted to get in touch with the Automobile Association .Low gray clouds were drifting across the sky and there was a cold damp wind blowing off the sea.It had rained in the night and water was dripping from the bare trees that lined the street.I was glad that I was wearing a thick coat.
I could see ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )no call box, nor was there anyone at that early hour I could ask.I had thought I might find a shop selling the Sunday papers or a milkman doing his job, but the town was completely dead.
Then suddenly I found what I was looking for.There was a small post office, and almost hidden from sight in a dark narrow street next to it was the town's only public call box, which badly needed a coat of paint, I hurried forward but stopped in astonishment when I saw through the dirty glass that there was a man inside.He was very fat, and was wearing a cheap blue plastic raincoat and rubber boots.I could not see his face - he was bending forward over the phone with his back pressed against the glass and didn't even raise his head at the sound of my coming nearer and nearer.Carefully and surprisedly, I remained standing a few feet away and lit a cigarette to wait my turn.It was when I threw the dead match on the ground that I noticed something bright red trickling from under the call box door.

阅读理解。阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Directions: Read th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
For the most part, it ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) seems, workers in rich countries have little to fear from globalization, and a lot to gain. But is the same thing true for workers in poor countries The answer is that they are even more likely than their rich-country counterparts (地位相当的人) to benefit, because they have less to lose and more to gain.
Traditional economic ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s takes an optimistic line on integration (整合) and the developing countries. Openness to foreign trade and investment should encourage capital to flow to poor economies. In the developing world, capital is scarce, so the returns on investment there should be higher than in the industrialized countries, where the best opportunities to make money by adding capital to labour have already been used up. If poor countries lower their barriers to trade and investment, the theory goes, rich foreigners will want to send over some of their capital.
If this inflow ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of resources arrives in the form of loans or portfolio investment (组合投资), it will top up domestic savings and loosen the financial restriction on additional investment by local companies. If it arrives in the form of new foreign-controlled operations, FDI, so much the better: this kind of capital brings technology and skills from abroad packaged along with it, with less financial risk as well. In either case, the addition to investment ought to push incomes up, partly by raising the demand for labour and partly by making labour more productive.
This is why w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orkers in FDI-receiving countries should be in an even better position to profit from integration than workers in FDI-sending countries. Also, with or without inflows of foreign capital, the same gains from trade should apply in developing countries as in rich ones. This gains from trade logic often arouses suspicion, because the benefits seem to come from nowhere. Surely one side or the other must lose. Not so. The benefits that a rich country gets through trade do not come at the expense of its poor country trading partners, or vice versa. Recall that according to the theory, trade is a positive sum game. In all these trades, both sides—exporters and importers, borrowers and lenders, shareholders and workers can gain.
1. Why are workers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in poor countries more likely to benefit from the process of globalization
A. They can get more chances to gain a good job.
B. They can get more financial aid.
C. They have nothing to lose.
D. They have less to lose and more to gain.
2. What can be the final result of the inflow of the resource
A. It will top up domestic savings.
B. It will loosen the financial restriction.
C. It will push people’s incomes up.
D. It will bring technology and skills from abroad.
3. What can we know from the last paragraph
A. Poor countries get the most profit during the process of trade.
B. Rich countries get profit from trade at poor countries’ expense.
C. Poor countries get more profit from trade than rich ones.
D. All aspects involved in the trade can get benefit.
4. Which can be the most appropriate title for this passage
A. Benefited or Hurt B. Who Benefits the Most

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。
Australia---The vote f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or euthanasia(安乐死)was finally taken at 3:45 this morning. After six months’ argument and final 16 hours’ hot debates, Australia’s Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. The bill was passed by the vote of 15 to 10. Almost immediately word flashed on the Internet and was picked up, half a world away, by John Hofsess, the director of the Right to Die Society of Canada. He sent it on through the group’s on-line service, Death NET. Hofsess says, “We posted it all day long, because this isn’t just something that happened in Australia. It’s world history.”
The full import m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ay take a while to understand. The NT Rights of the Terminally III law has left physicians and citizens trying to deal with its moral and practical meaning. Some have breathed sighs of relief, but others, including churches, right to life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the bill and the haste(匆忙,急忙) of its passage. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia — where an aging population, life extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part — other states are going to consider making a similar law to for euthanasia. In the US and Canada, where the right to die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes(多米诺骨牌) to start falling.
Under the new N ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orthern Territory law, an adult patient can request death — probably by a deadly injection or pill — to put an end to suffering. The patient must be diagnosed as incurably ill by two doctors. After a “cooling off” period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd Nickson, a 54 year old Darwin man suffering from lung cancer, the law means he can get on with living without the fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. “I’m not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I’d go, because I’ve watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks,” he says.
45. According to the text ,which of the following statements is TRUE
A. Australia ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) now is the only country in the world to pass the law of euthanasia.
B. All people in Austr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )alia don’t have the same positive attitude to euthanasia.
C. Many patients wi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll ask their doctors for euthanasia because they are afraid of death.
D. According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to the law, if a patient requests death, his or her wish will be met after 48 hours.
46. The underlined sen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tence in Para 2, “observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling.” means that observers are waiting to see ___________.
A. the result of the game of dominoes.
B. that people’s attitude to euthanasia will be changed.
C. that the bill about euthanasia in Australia will come to an end.
D. the similar bills will be passed in other countries.
47. Australia was the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )first country to pass the bill of euthanasia, but not USA or Canada. Which one is NOT the reason
A. In Australia, the technology of extending life is advanced.
B. In Austral ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ia, it is easy to deal with the moral and practical meaning.
C. In Australia, old p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eople take up great part in the population of the whole country.
D. Australians gr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )adually realize suffering from a terrible disease is worse than immediate death.
48. It can be inferred from the text that _____________.
A. when Lloyd Nicks ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on dies, he will face his death with calm characteristic of euthanasia.
B. physicians and citi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )zens in Australia share the same view on euthanasia.
C. other countries ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia.
D. under the bi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll, patients requesting death are sure to be injected by deadly medicine.
49. What’s the author’s attitude to euthanasia
A. Negative B. Critical C. Positive D. Doubtful

Nowadays some students ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in middle school date with their classmates.According to a new study from the University of Georgia, those students have much worse study skills and are four times more likely to stop schooling.They use twice as much alcohol and tobacco than their single classmates.
"Romantic relatio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nships are a trademark of adolescence, but very few studies have examined how adolescents differ in the development of these relationships," said Pamela Orpinas, study author and professor in the College of Public Health and Head of the department of Health Promotion and Behaviour.
Orpinas followed ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a group of 624 students over a seven-year period from 6th to 12th grades.
Each year, the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) group of students completed a survey indicating whether they had dated and reported the frequency of different behaviours, including the use of drugs and alcohol.Their teachers completed questionnaires about the students7 academic efforts. He found some students never or hardly ever reported dating from middle to high school, and these students had consistently the best study skills according to their teachers.Other students dated infrequently in middle school but increased the frequency of dating in high school.
"At all poin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ts in time, teachers rated the students who reported the lowest frequency of dating as having the best study skills and students with highest dating as having the worst study skills," according to the journal article.Study skills refer to behaviours that lead to academic success such as doing homework for extra credit, being well organized, finishing homework, working hard and reading assigned chapters.
"Dating a classmate ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )may have the same emotional complications (并发症) of dating a co-worker," Orpinas said."When the couple break up, they have to continue to see each other in class and perhaps witness the ex-partner (前伴侣) dating someone else.It is reasonable to think this could be linked to depression and distract (分散注意力) them from studying."
"Dating should no ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t be considered a ceremony of growth in middle school," Orpinas concluded.
1.We can learn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) from the passage that students who date in middle school may _____.
A.be less likely to use alcohol and tobacco
B.enjoy better school lives
C.be more likely to hurt others
D.have poorer academic performances
2.During his study, Orpinas _____.
A.found study skills have connection with their frequency of dating
B.completed questionnaires about the students7 academic efforts
C.completed a survey and a report each year
D.followed a group of students of 6th and 12th
3.Study skills may inc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lude the following behaviors and qualities except _____.
A.being kind and helpful
B.being well organized
C.being diligent
D.finishing assigned schoolwork
4.What can possibly h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )appen to those who date in middle school after they break up
A.They will think it reasonable to get depressed.
B.They will miss their ex-partners sometimes.
C.Their attention to studying will be affected.
D.They don't want to see each other any longer.
5.According to t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he passage, Orpinas holds a(n) _____ attitude towards dating in middle school.

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。
ROME: The leg ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )end of Leonardo da Vinci is covered in mystery: How did he die Are the remains buried in a French castle really those of the master Was the "Mona Lisa" a self-portrait in disguise (伪装)
A group of Italian ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )scientists believe the key to solving those puzzles lies with the remains, and they say they are seeking permission to dig up the body to conduct carbon and DNA testing.
If the skull is undamaged, the scientists can go to the heart of a question that has fascinated scholars and the public for centuries: the identity of the "Mona Lisa." Recreating a virtual and then physical reconstruction of Leonardo's face, they can compare it with the smiling face in the painting.
"We don't know what ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )we'll find if the tomb is opened. We could even just find grains and dust," says Giorgio Gruppioni, an anthropologist who is participating in the project. "But if the remains are well kept, they are a biological record of events in a person's life, and sometimes in their death." Silvano Vinceti, the leader of the group, said that he plans to press his case with the French officials in charge of the said burial site at Amboise Castle early next week.
Leonardo moved ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to France at the invitation of King Francis I, who named him "first painter to the king." He spent the last three years of his life there, and died in 1519 at age 67. The artist's original burial place, the palace church of Saint Florentine, was destroyed during the French Revolution and remains that are believed to be his were eventually reburied in the Saint-Hubert Chapel near the castle.
"The Amboise tomb is a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) symbolic tomb; it's a big question mark," said Alessandro Vezzosi, the director of a museum dedicated to Leonardo in his hometown of Vinci. Vezzosi said that investigating the tomb could help identify the artist's bones with certainty and solve other questions, such as the cause of his death. He said he asked to open the tomb in 2004 to study the remains, but the Amboise Castle turned him down.
The group of 100 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) experts involved in the project, called the National Committee for Historical and Artistic Heritage, was created in 2003 with the aim of "solving the great mysteries of the past," said Vinceti, who has written books on art and literature.
Arguably the world ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )'s most famous painting, the "Mona Lisa" hangs in the Louvre in Paris, where it drew some 8.5 million visitors last year. Mystery has surrounded the identity of the painting's subject for centuries, with opinions ranging from the wife of a Florentine merchant to Leonardo's own mother.
That Leonard ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o intended the "Mona Lisa" as a self-portrait in disguise is a possibility that has interested and divided scholars. Theories have existed: Some think that Leonardo's taste for tricks and riddles might have led him to hide his own identity behind that puzzling smile; others have guessed that the painting hid an androgynous lover.
If granted ac ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cess to the grave site, the Italian experts plan to use a tiny camera and radar to confirm the presence of bones. The scientists would then exhume (挖掘) the remains and attempt to date the bones with carbon testing.
At the heart of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the proposed study is the effort to discover whether the remains are actually Leonardo's, including with DNA testing. Ks*5u
Vezzosi questions th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e DNA comparison, saying he is unaware of any direct descendants (后代) of Leonardo or of tombs that could be attributed with certainty to the artist's close relatives.
Gruppioni said that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) DNA from the bones could also eventually be compared to DNA found elsewhere. For example, Leonardo is thought to have rubbed colors on the canvas with his thumb, possibly using saliva (唾液), meaning DNA might be found on his paintings.
Even in the ab ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sence of DNA testing, other tests could provide useful information, including whether the bones belonged to a man or a woman, and whether the person died young or old.
Even within the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )committee, experts are divided over the identity of the "Mona Lisa."
Vinceti believes that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a tradition of considering the self-portrait to be not just a faithful imitation of one's features but a representation of one's spiritual identity may have resonated (共鸣) with Leonardo.
Vezzosi, the mus ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eum director, dismissed as "baseless and senseless" the idea that the "Mona Lisa" could be a self-portrait of Leonardo. He said most researchers believe the woman may have been either a wife of the artist's sponsor, the Florentine nobleman Giuliano de Medici, or Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a rich silk merchant, Francesco del Giocondo. The traditional view is that the name "Mona Lisa" comes from the silk merchant's wife, as well as its Italian name: "La Gioconda."
50.Why does the author ask a couple of questions in the beginning
A.To arouse the interest of readers. B.To puzzle Italian scientists.
C.To answer t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he questions himself. D.To make fun of French officials.
51.The best title of this story might be “_____”.
A.What Is the Purpose of an Investigation
B.How Did Leonardo da Vinci Die in France
C.Are the Remains Really Those of the Master
D.Did Leonardo Paint Himself as 'Mona Lisa'
52.The sentence ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“he plans to press his case with the French officials” (underlined in Paragraph 4) suggests that Vinceti intends to _____.
A.press the French officials to participate in their project
B.urge the French officials to open the tomb early next week
C.persuade the French officials to allow opening the tomb
D.record events in a person’s life with the French officials
53.Which of the fol ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lowing statements is true according to the passage
A.Scholars have the same opinion on DNA testing.
B.Scientists doubt if the remains are those of da Vinci.
C.The identity of “Mona Lisa” has already been proved.
D.Alessandro Vezzosi got permission to open the tomb.
54.We can infer from the last two paragraphs that _____
A.“Mona Lisa” is the name of the wife of a silk merchant
B.the “Mona Lisa” is a self-portrait of Leonardo da Vinci
C.experts divided the committee into several groups
D.opinions differ of the identity of the “Mona Lisa”

However, the mea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ning of a hero __5__(change) in the past fifty years, and a common man can __6__ be a hero. A person who has done a great job is a hero.

In a word, h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eroism keeps changing its __9__ .The time has come __10__ everyone tries to be a hero. Let’s try to be one.
1. [解析] 前面的主语a hero表示“任何一个英雄”的概念,由who引导的定语从句可以断定横线处应该是表示人的代词,所以填one。
[答案] one
2. [解析] 前面的谓语是一般过去时,因此此处应该使用fight的过去式,故填fought。
[答案] fought
3. [解析] 该句子具有完整的主谓语结构,由此可知横线处应该是副词修饰整个句子,因此加-ly构成副词usually。
[答案] Usually
4. [解析] 这里是指“英雄的称号”,表示特指,应该用定冠词the。
[答案] the
5. [解析] 从in the past fifty years可以知道谓语应该使用现在完成时has changed。
[答案] has changed
6. [解析] 这里考查语篇的意义。前文叙述了大英雄的概念,这里笔锋一转,说普通人也可以成为英雄,因此此处填also。
[答案] also
7. [解析] 通过观察前句和后句的定语从句可知,此处的定语从句缺少主语,先行词是A sportsman,所以用who或者that。
[答案] who/that
8. [解析] 这里是对语境的考查,从后面的定语in a school可推知,这里应填student。
[答案] student
9. [解析] 这也是一个语境词,意思是说英雄的含义在不断变化,应填meaning与第二段的第一句照应。
[答案] meaning
10.[解析] 空处及其后面部分是定语从句,故此处用when来引导定语从句修饰time。

Tea drinking wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s common in China for about one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea. People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.
Tea was rare an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.
At the same time peopl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e on the Continent were becoming more and more appreciate of tea. Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day an outstanding French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added. She found it so agreeable. Because she was such a great lady, her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few British people drink tea without milk.
At first, tea was us ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ually drunk after dinner in the evening No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o’clock stopped her getting “a submerging(沉浸) feeling” as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so, tea-time was born.
56.Which of the follow ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing is true of the introduction of tea into Britain

B.Tea reached Britain from Holland.

1.[解析] 考查短语keep on doing的用法。
[答案] increasing
2.[解析] There w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ill not be enough resources的主谓结构是完整的,所以只能用event的副词形式eventually作状语。
[答案] eventually
3.[解析] 时间状语是by+将来时间,谓语用将来完成时态。
[答案] will have used
4.[解析] 考查句型make+it+adj.+for+sb.+to do sth.。
[答案] necessary
5.[解析] 考查理解和代词。根据意 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )思应该是“其他行星中到目前为止还没有一个适合生命的生存。”none of+复数名词/不可数名词,表示“……中没有一个。”
[答案] none
6.[解析] 考查上下文理解和行文逻辑。前文说“没办法”,这里说“可能的解决方案”所以用“however”表示转折。
[答案] however
7.[解析] 考查内容理解和从句。这里应该是“在地球的资源完全枯竭之前”,所以用before。
[答案] before
8.[解析] 是个及物动词,“耗尽,用完”,这里应该用被动语态。
[答案] exhausted
9.[解析] 考虑到行文逻辑,这里表示的是结果,因此,so/therefore是最佳措辞。
[答案] so/therefore
10.[解析] 考查行文逻辑。文章 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )最后两句很明显是解释something is difficult这句话。有两件事是困难的,除了Venus比地球热得多,另一难题是那里的水有限,所以这里用Besides.
[答案] Besides
