ADVICE FROM GRANDAD
Dear James,
It is a beautiful day here and I am sitting under the big tree at the end of the garden.I have just returned from a long bike ride to an old castle.It seems amazing that at my age I am still fit enough to cycle 20 kilometres in an afternoon.It’s my birthday in two weeks time and I’ll be 82 years old! I think my long and active life must be due to the healthy life I live.
This brings me to the real reason for my letter,my dear grandson.Your mother tells me that you started smoking some time ago and now you are finding it difficult to give it up.Believe me,I know how easy it is to begin smoking and how tough it is to stop.You see,during adolescence I also smoked and became addicted to cigarettes.
By the way,did you know that this is because you become addicted in three different ways First,you can become physically addicted to nicotine,which is one of the hundreds of chemicals in cigarettes.
This means that after a while your body becomes accustomed to having nicotine in it.So when the drug leaves your body,you get withdrawal symptoms.I remember feeling bad tempered and sometimes even in pain.Secondly,you become addicted through habit.As you know,if you do the same thing over and over again,you begin to do it automatically.Lastly,you can become mentally addicted.I believed I was happier and more relaxed after having a cigarette,so I began to think that I could only feel good when I smoked.I was addicted in all three ways,so it was very difficult to quit.But I did finally manage.
When I was young,I didn’t know much about the harmful effects of smoking.I didn’t know,for example,that it could do terrible damage to your heart and lungs or that it was more difficult for smoking couples to become pregnant.I certainly didn’t know their babies may have a smaller birth weight or even be abnormal in some way.Neither did I know that my cigarette smoke could affect the health of non smokers.However,what I did know was that my girlfriend thought I smelt terrible.She said my breath and clothes smelt,and that the ends of my fingers were turning yellow.
She told me that she wouldn’t go out with me again unless I stopped! I also noticed that I became breathless quickly,and that I wasn’t enjoying sport as much.When I was taken off the school football team because I was unfit,I knew it was time to quit smoking.
I am sending you some advice I found on the Internet.It might help you to stop and strengthen your resolve.I do hope so because I want you to live as long and healthy a life as I have.
Love from
Grandad
爷爷的忠告
亲爱的詹姆士:
今天这儿的天气很好。现在我正坐在花园尽头的那棵大树底下呢。我刚刚才回来,骑自行车跑了很长一段路,一直到了古城堡。感到惊奇吧,像我这样的年纪,身体健康而且能在一个下午骑车跑20公里。再过两个礼拜就是我82岁的生日了!我想之所以长寿而且精力充沛,要归功于(due to)我的健康生活。
这就是我写信给你的真正原因,我亲爱的孙子。你妈妈告诉我,你不久前开始吸烟了,而且现在很难把它戒掉。
相信我吧,我知道,吸烟容易戒烟难(tough)。你知道,当我还是一个十几岁的孩子的时候,我也吸过烟,而且还上了瘾(addicted to)。
这儿我想顺便问你一个问题,你知道上瘾表现在哪三个方面吗?首先,你会在身体上对尼古丁(nicotine)有瘾,它是香烟里的几百种化学物质之一。这就是说,过一段时间以后,你的身体习惯了(accustomed to)香烟里的尼古丁。一旦你的体内没有这种麻醉剂了,你就会有断瘾(withdrawal)症状,我记得曾感到暴躁(bad tempered)、甚至痛苦。
其次你在习惯上上瘾。你知道,如果你反反复复地做同一件事情,你就会自动地(automatically)做它。最后,你可能精神上(mentally)上瘾。我那时认为,抽了一支烟后就会感到更轻松愉快,于是我就以为只有抽烟才能使自己感觉良好。我在这三个方面都很上瘾,因此,要戒烟就很难。但是我终于还是戒掉(quit)了。
在我年轻的时候,关于吸烟的危害性(effect结果)我知道的并不多。例如,我不知道抽烟能严重侵害人的心脏和肺部(lung),也不知道吸烟的夫妇生育(pregnant怀孕的)能力会下降。我当然不知道他们的婴儿在出生时可能体重较轻或在某些方面不正常(abnormal)。
我更不知道,自己吸烟还会损害那些不吸烟人的健康。然而我的的确确知道,我的女朋友觉得我的烟味很难闻。她说我的呼吸、我的衣服都有味道,而且我的手指头都变黄了。她说在我把烟戒掉之前,她是不会再同我一起外出的。我也发现我很容易就气喘吁吁的(breathless),也不像以前那样爱好运动了。而当我因为不健康(unfit)而被校足球队除名之后,我知道是我该戒烟的时候
了。
我把我从网上找到的一些建议寄给你。也许对你戒烟和坚定(strengthen)决心(resolve)会有所帮助。我的确希望你把烟戒掉,因为我希望你能像我这样活得健康长寿。
爱你的爷爷
How can you stop smoking
It is not easy to stop smoking,but millions have managed to quit and so can you.Here are a few suggestions.
·Prepare yourself.Decide on a day to quit.Don’t choose a day that you know is going to be stressful,such as the day of an exam.Make a list of all the benefits you will get from stop ping smoking.Then throw away your last packet of cigarettes.
·Be determined.Every time you feel like smoking a cigarette,remind yourself that you are a non smoker.Reread the list of benefits you wrote earlier.
·Break the habit.Instead of smoking a cigarette,do something else.Go for a walk,clean your teeth,drink some water,clean the house;in fact,do anything to keep your mind and especially your hands busy.
·Relax.If you start to feel nervous or stressed,do not reach for a cigarette.
Try some deep breathing instead.Do some relaxation exercises every time you feel stressed.
·Get help if you need it.Arrange to stop smoking with a friend so you can talk about your problems,or join a stop smoking group.If you feel desperate,you might like to talk to a doctor or chemist about something to help you,like nicotine chewing gum.
·Keep trying.Do not be disappointed if you have to try several times before you finally stop smoking.If you weaken and have a cigarette,do not feel ashamed.Just try again.You will succeed eventually.
你怎样才能戒烟?
戒烟不容易,但许许多多的人都成功地戒掉了烟,所以你也能。这儿有几点建议:
·做好准备。决定(decide on)一个开始戒烟的日子。不要选择你明知有压力的(stressful)日子,例如要考试的那一天。把戒烟的好处列一个清单。然后把你最后一包(packet)香烟扔掉。
·下定决心。每当你想要(feel like)吸烟的时候,你就提醒你自己,你是不吸烟的人。把你早先写的那个戒烟的好处的清单反复地看一看。
·破除旧习。不要抽烟,而去干点别的事情。去散散步、刷刷牙、喝点水、打扫房间。其实,只要是能使你的大脑,特别是手不得闲的事情,你都可以去做。
·放松。如果你开始感到紧张有压力了,不要伸手去拿香烟。试着做做深呼吸。每当你感到紧张了,就去做做放松(relaxation)运动。
·必要时找人帮忙。安排同朋友一起来戒烟,这样你们可以谈谈你们的问题,你也可以参加一个戒烟小组。
如果你感到成功渺茫(desperate绝望的),你还可以找一个医生或药剂师(chemist)来谈谈,帮你想点办法,如含尼古丁的口香糖(chewing gum)等。
·继续努力。即使非得经过多次戒烟才能最后把它戒掉,你也不要失去希望(disappointed)。如果你因意志薄弱(weaken)而又抽烟了,也不要觉得难为情(ashamed)。那就再努力戒就是了。最终你是会成功的。

A
Increasingly,Americans are becoming their own doctors,by going online to diagnose their symptoms,order home health tests or medical devices,or even self?treat their illnesses with drugs from Internet pharmacies(药店).Some avoid doctors because of the high cost of medical care,especially if they lack health insurance.Or they may stay away because they find it embarrassing to discuss their weight,smoking,alcohol consumption or couch potato habits.Patients may also fear what they might learn about their health,or they distrust physicians because of negative experiences in the past.But playing doctor can also be a deadly game.
Every day,more than six million Americans turn to the Internet for medical answers?and most of them aren’t nearly sceptical enough of what they find.A 2002 survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that 72 percent of those surveyed believe all or most of what they read on health websites.They shouldn’t.Look up “headache”,and the chances of finding reliable and complete information,free from a motivation for commercial gain,are only one in ten,reports an April 2005 Brown Medical School study.Of the 169 websites the researchers rated,only 16 scored as “high quality”.Recent studies found faulty facts about all sorts of other disorders,causing one research team to warn that a large amount of incomplete,inaccurate and even dangerous information exists on the Internet.
The problem is most people don’t know the safe way to surf the Web.“They use a search engine like Google,get 18 trillion choices and start clicking.But that’s risky,because almost anybody can put up a site that looks authoritative(权威的),so it’s hard to know if what you’re reading is reasonable or not,”says Dr.Sarah Bass from the National Cancer Institute.”
1.According to the text,an increasing number of American ________.
A.are suffering from mental disorders
B.turn to Internet pharmacies for help
C.like to play deadly games with doctors
D.are sceptical about surfing medical websites
解析:选B。推断题。从第一段“Increasingly,Americans are becoming their own doctors,by going online to diagnose their symptoms,”可知,越来越多的美国人上网诊断病症,因此选B。
2.Some Americans stay away from doctors because they ________.
A.find medical devices easy to operate
B.prefer to be diagnosed online by doctors
C.are afraid to face the truth of their health
D.are afraid to misuse their health insurance
解析:选C。细节推断题。从第一段“Or they may stay away because they find it embarrassing to discuss their weight,smoking,alcohol consumption or couch potato habits.”可知,不去看医生的原因之一是害怕跟医生说自己的一些坏习惯,因此C选项正确。
3.According to the study of Brown Medical School,________.
A.more than 6 million Americans distrust doctors
B.only 1/10 of medical websites aim to make a profit
C.about 1/10 of the websites surveyed are of high quality
D.72% of health websites offer incomplete and faulty facts
解析:选C。细节推断题。从第二段“Look up “headache,” and the chances of finding reliable and complete information,free from a motivation for commercial gain,are only one in ten,reports an April 2005 Brows Medical School study.”可知,Brows Medical School的研究表明,只有1/10的网站有可信赖和完整的信息,因此选C。
4.Which of the following is the author’s main argument
A.It’s cheap to self?treat your own illness.
B.It’s embarrassing to discuss your bad habits.
C.It’s reasonable to put up a medical website.
D.It’s dangerous to be your own doctor.
解析:选D。主旨题。文中先讲了越来越多的美国人上网看病,给自己当医生;后来又讲到网上的信息并不完全可靠,许多网站存在不完整、不准确,甚至是危险的信息。因此,作者认为上网看病,给自己当医生这种方式是危险的,选D。
B
(2011年三月济南市联考)David and Victoria Beckham are firing their sons’uncles.Well,sort of.The couple will be forced to let go of their eight longtime security guards when they move to the States this summer.According to the Sun,the Beckham children,Brooklyn,Romeo and Cruz,are so close to the guards that they consider them their uncles.
An insider told the newspaper,“Posh and Becks’personal protection group have been with them for a good few years.But they won’t be allowed to work for them in America because they do not qualify for work permits because of the strict regulations surrounding work permits in the US.It is looking like the Becks will have to give_them_all_the_sack because they will rarely be outside the US and they won’t be needed.The hunt is now on to find an American security team to look after them in LA.It’s proving to be a massive headache because David and Victoria are comfortable and so happy with their current team.”
The current guards have qualifications hard to match.Two of them are former members of Britain’s Special Air Service.But considering the fact that the Beckhams pay their guards about $3,000 a week and the guards get two weeks off every month,it’s likely that they will attract some qualified candidates in Los Angeles as well.
【解题导语】 新闻报道类文章,写了贝克汉姆移居美国后,不得不辞去八个保镖的事情。
5.From this passage,we know that ________.
A.the Becks are not satisfied with their security guards
B.the current guards are popular with the Beckham kids
C.American guards are better qualified than British ones
D.security guards are always loyal and well paid
解析:选B。细节理解题。根据第一段,保镖和孩子们关系密切,孩子们把他们看作叔叔,所以说很受孩子们欢迎。
6.What does the underlined expression “give them all tile sack” mean
A.To help them to find new jobs.
B.To stay inside while in the US.
C.To get all of them dismissed.
D.To offer them a large sum of money.
解析:选C。词义推断题。贝克汉姆夫妇移居美国后,将不会再到别的国家生活,原来英国的保镖因没有许可证而无法一起去美国,所以不得不解雇他们。
7.What does the author want to tell us through the last paragraph
A.It will not be difficult for the Becks to find new guards in America.
B.The American guards are sure to be worse than the current ones.
C.The Becks prefer their guards to have army backgrounds.
D.The Becks have a good relationship with their American guards.
解析:选A。细节推断题。很难找到具有现任保镖资格的人选,其中两人是英国空军特警退役人员。保镖工资待遇高,条件要求高。
8.Which section of a newspaper does this passage probably belong to
A.Sports. B.Opinions.
C.Entertainment. D.Business.
解析:选C。推理判断题。本文属于体育明星生活方卖弄的报导,所以应在娱乐部分。(共36张PPT)

it 作人称代词 ,既可指人,也可指物。可作形式主语,形式宾语。
it 的用法(1)
it在英语语法中属人称代词,意思是“它”,用来指人以外的一切生物和事物。也可用于指代人、时间、距离和自然现象等。另外,它也可以用作形式主语、形式宾语,在强调句型中使用等。下面我们来详细总结一下it的用法,希望对大家的学习有帮助。
一、用于指人以外的一切生物、无生命的东西和事情
讲解归纳
一般指说话者心目中已经了解或所指的生物、无生命的东西或事情、没有性别的区分;可以是可数名词,也可以是不可数名词,在句子中既可作主语,也可以作宾语。
1.指动物和植物。如:
It looks like a cat!它看上去像只猫!
Where’s tea grown?It’s grown in the southeast of China.什么地方种植茶?中国东南部种植茶。
2.泛指天气、时间、日期、距离、价值、度量、温度、环境等。如:
What time is it?几点了?
It’s summer in Australia now.现在澳大利亚是夏天。
3.代替上文提到过的整个事情。如:
Well,you mustn’t play on the road.It’s dangerous.
哦,你不能在公路上玩。这太危险了!
Picking apples was hard work,but they really enjoyed it.
摘苹果是件苦活,可他们都乐意去干。
二、用于指代人
1.指代说话者心目中不太清楚的那个人,常在打电话或敲门时用。如:
—Who is knocking at the door?谁在敲门?
—It’s me.是我。
2.指代性别不详的婴幼儿或在不计较性别时,也可用it来指人。如:
The baby smiled when it saw its mother.
这小孩一见到母亲就笑了。
注意:看到这样的句子(或听到这样的话)时,要想一想,不要一看到it就把它译成“它”。
3.在回答用指示代词表示人的特殊问句时,常用it指人。如:
—Who’s that?那人是谁?—Is it Kate?是凯特吗?
三、作形式主语或形式宾语,替代不定式,v. ing形式,主语从句或宾语从句
1.作形式主语
It seemed impossible to finish the job on time.似乎按时完成这项工作是不可能的。(真实主语是不定式短语)
It won’t be easy finding our way home.寻找回家的路不容易。(真实主语是动名词短语)
It is said that he will leave for Beijing tomorrow.
据说他明天去北京。(真实主语是主语从句)
2.作形式宾语
I found it difficult to explain to him what had happened.
我觉得向他解释清楚发生了什么事很困难。(真实宾语是不定式短语to explain to him what had happened)
He thought it no use discussing the subject again.他认为再讨论这个问题没有用了。(真实宾语是动名词短语discussing the subject again)
They kept it secret that he was dead.他们对他的死保密。(真实宾语是that引导的从句)
四、it作形式主语的常用句式
1.It is clear(obvious,true,possible,certain...)that...该句型中it是形式主语,真正的主语是that引导的主语从句,常译为“清楚(显然,真的,可能,肯定……)”。
It is very clear that he doesn’t like it.=That he doesn’t like it is very clear.很清楚他不喜欢它。
2.It is said (reported/learned/believed/thought/known/told/hoped...)that...该句型中的it仍是形式主语,真正主语是that引导的主语从句;该结构常译为“据说(据报道,据悉……)”。
It is reported that another satellite has been put into orbit.据报道又有一颗卫星被送入轨道。
3.It is time(about time,high time)that...该句型中that后的从句应该用虚拟语气,值得注意的是从句的谓语动词①常用过去时态表示虚拟。②有时也用should+动词原形,should不能省,常译为“是(正是)……的时候了”。
It is time that children should go to bed.=It is time that children went to bed.孩子们该睡了。
4.It is the first(second...)time that...该句型要和上一个句型区别开来,该句型中的that从句不用虚拟语气,而用完成时态。
至于用什么完成时态,由主句的谓语动词的时态决定。如果是一般现在时,后面从句用现在完成时态;如果是一般过去时,后面从句则用过去完成时态,该结构中that可以省去;it有时用this/that替换,常译为“是第一(二)……次做……”。
It is the first time I have been here.
这是我第一次到这里来。
5.It is a pity(a shame/an honour/a good thing/a fact/a surprise/...)that...该句型中,that后的从句一般用虚拟语气(should+动词原形),should可省去,表示出乎意料,常译为“竟然”。没有这种意义时,则不用虚拟语气。
It is a pity that such a thing(should)happen in your class.这种事竟然发生在你们班上,真是遗憾!
It is a pity that he is ill.他生病了,真遗憾!
6.It happens(seems,looks,appears)that...该句型中it是形式主语,that引导的是主语从句,主句中的happen,seem等词是不及物动词。
It seems that he will be back in a few days.
他看来再过几天才能回来。

Dear Li Hua,
I feel greatly honored to be trusted with your personal affairs.
I have to say that you are not alone when having trouble communicating with parents.Almost everybody had it when they were in their adolescence.Therefore,it’s a common problem shared by many people,whose cause lies in what we call“generation gap”.
As for my advice for you,first of all,don’t hide your feelings.You can make it a routine to share your thoughts with your parents.Secondly,convince them that you have tried your best.It is not their fault to place too high expectations on their child.I believe they will be satisfied with you so long as they know you have tried to live up to their standards.Anyway,there is no one who love you more than your parents in the world.
Whatever you are,they will always be there for you.Love them,and love can heal everything.
Good luck!
Yours,
Bob

词语串串练
我们都希望有健康的生活。
但是你是否染上了吸烟或在
精神上对酒上瘾的坏习惯?
如果没有,你就可能足够幸
运能享有健康的生活。然而,尽管吸烟或喝酒会造成伤害,但是很多青少年正试图养成这种习惯。
由于生活的压力,很多成年人成了重度吸烟者或坏脾气的酒徒。虽然吸烟者知道吸烟对肺部有不好的影响,但是他们戒不了烟。通常他们会在一天不自觉地(automatically无意识地)吸一两包香烟或雪茄
烟。
甚至一些孕(pregnant怀孕的)妇也想吸烟。她们说吸烟能够使她们放松。这是一个误解。恰恰相反,吸烟会使她们的孩子身体不健康甚至畸形,使她们自己喘不过气来。正像吸烟一样,喝酒也同样会消弱人们的体质,而非增强。而且,重度酒徒会使他们的家人失望甚至绝望。有时候醉汉会冒险穿越马路,那会经常引起事故。
另一个坏习惯是注射毒品或吸食非法药丸。人们若与其他人共用一个针头注射毒品,很可能会感染艾滋病。

HIV/AIDS: ARE YOU AT RISK
HIV is a virus.A virus is a very small living thing that causes disease.There are many different viruses,for example,the flu virus or the SARS virus.HIV weakens a person’s immune system;that is,the part of the body that fights disease.You can have HIV in your blood for a long time,but eventually HIV will damage your immune system so much that your body can no longer fight disease.This stage of the illness is called AIDS.If you develop AIDS,your chances of survival are very small.
HIV is spread through blood or the fluid that the body makes during sex.For a person to become infected,blood or sexual fluid that carries the virus,has to get inside the body through broken skin or by injection.One day scientists will find a cure for HIV/AIDS.Until that happens,you need to protect yourself.Here are some things you can do to make sure you stay safe.
If you inject drugs:
·do not share your needle with anyone else.Blood from another person can stay on or in the needle.If a person has HIV and you use the same needle,you could inject the virus into your own blood.
·do not share anything else that a person has used while injecting drugs.Blood could have spilt on it.
HIV病毒/艾滋病:你是否面临危险?
HIV是一种病毒(人体免疫缺损病毒)。病毒是引发疾病的微生物。它有许多种类,如流感病毒和SARS病毒。HIV病毒破坏人体的免疫(immune)系统,也就是说使人体抗衡疾病的免疫功能减弱。在你的血液中,HIV病毒可以长期存在,但是它最终会使你的免疫系统严重受损,以致使你的身体不能再抗衡疾病。这种疾病到了这个阶段就叫艾滋病。如果你得上了艾滋病,幸存(survival)的几率很小。
HIV是通过血液或性交(sex)时产生的体液(fluid)而传播的。携带病毒的血液或体液必须通过皮肤上的创口或通过注射(injection)才能进入人体,使人受感染。将来总有一天,科学家会找到医治HIV病毒和艾滋病的疗法的。在这之前,你必须保护你自己。你可以按这里列举的一些注意事项去做,以确保自己的安全:
假如你要注射药物:
·不要同别人共用注射针(needle)。别人的血液可能会留在针头内外。如果某人有HIV病毒,而你又用了同一个注射针,你就有可能把别人的病毒注入你的血液中来。
·在注射药物时,不得共用患者所用的其他东西,因为血液可能会溅(spill)到这些物品上来。
If you have sex with a male or a female:
·use a condom.This will prevent sexual fluid passing from one person to another.
The following statements are NOT true.
·A person cannot get HIV the first time they have sex.WRONG.If one sexual partner has HIV,the other partner could become infected.
·You can tell by looking at someone whether or not they have HIV.WRONG.Many people carrying HIV look perfectly healthy.It is only when the disease has progressed to AIDS that a person begins to look sick.
·Only homosexuals get AIDS.WRONG.Anyone who has sex with a person infected with HIV/AIDS risks getting the virus.Women are slightly more likely to become infected than men.
·If you hug,touch or kiss someone with AIDS or visit them in their home,you will get HIV/AIDS.WRONG.You can only get the disease from blood or sexual fluid.Unfortunately,people with HIV sometimes lose their friends because of prejudice.Many people are afraid that they will get HIV/AIDS from those infected with HIV/AIDS.For the same reason,some AIDS patients cannot find anyone to look after them when they are sick.
You can get HIV/AIDS from mosquitoes.WRONG.There is no evidence of this.
假如你同男人(male)或女人(female)性交:
·要使用避孕套(condom)。它可以防止性交时产生的体液的传入。
下列这些说法都是错误的。
·初次性交的人不可能染上HIV病毒。错了。如果性交的某一方有了HIV病毒,另一方就有可能传染上。
·通过观察你可以看出某人是否带有HIV病毒。错了。许多HIV病毒携带者看上去十分健康。只有当这种病发展成艾滋病时,人才会显出病态。
·只有同性恋者(homosexual)才得艾滋病。错了。任何人如果同感染了HIV病毒的人性交,他们就有染上这种病毒的危险。女性感染病毒的可能性比男性稍微大一些。
·如果你同艾滋病患者拥抱、接触或亲吻,或者去他们家作客,你就会从他们那里感染上HIV病毒或得艾滋病。错了。你只可能通过血液或性交时的体液传染上这种病。不幸的是,由于偏见(prejudice),HIV病毒携带者有时会失去他们的朋友。
许多人担心他们会从病毒携带者那儿染上HIV病毒,感染上艾滋病。由于相同的理由,有些艾滋病者在生病时找不到任何人来照顾他们。
·蚊子可以传染HIV病毒和艾滋病。错了。目前还没有证据说明这一点。

Good evening,everyone.I’m Lucy Green,welcome to my program.First,I will give you a piece of news.
Guangzhou,the capital city of Guangdong Province,announced that the people there were not allowed to ride electric bicycles,and those who broke the rule would be fined,or their bikes might even be taken away,by the police on Monday.After the government announced the rule,Guangdong Bicycle Industry Association sent a letter to the government on Tuesday.The letter was signed by 110 companies,as well as nine thousand staff members and bicycle riders.The letter said that since the electric bicycle was a kind of bicycle,it should be treated like a normal bicycle,and should be allowed to run freely on the road.Also,they noted that the Law on Road Traffic Safety doesn’t give the local government the right to forbid riding electric bicycles.Some of them believed that the related departments should accept the people’s advice about the rule,and find a good way to solve this problem.Now they are waiting for the government’s reply.

C.curiously D.nervously
解析:选D。因为向别人要钱,有点儿不好意思,因此应是紧张地向四周看看。

C.sell D.give
解析:选D。send派遣,发送;provide提供;sell卖;give给。根据上文的表述,小男孩不仅不要钱,给他钱他也觉得好像受了伤害一样,由此判断小男孩现在是来报答我的,因此这些水果应该是给我,而不是卖给我。
第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Many kids are too busy to have time to play creatively or relax after school.Kids who complain about the number of activities they’re involved in or refuse to go to them may be a sign that they’re burdened with stress.
How can you help kids deal with stress Proper rest and good nutrition can improve such skills,as can good parenting.Make time for your kids each day.Whether they need to talk or just be in the same room with you,make yourself available.
Even as kids get older,quality time is important.It’s really hard for some people to come home after work,get down on the floor,and play with their kids or just talk to them about their day- especially if they’ve had a stressful day themselves.But expressing interest in your kids’days shows that they’re important to you.
Help your child deal with stress by talking about what may be causing it.Together,you can come up with a few solutions like cutting_back_on after?school activities,spending more time talking with parents or teachers,developing an exercise habit,or keeping a journal.
You can also help by anticipating(期待) potentially stressful situations and preparing kids for them.For example,let a child know ahead of time (but not too far ahead of time) that a doctor’s appointment is coming up and talk about what will happen there.Keep in mind,though,that younger kids probably won’t need too much advance preparation.Too much information can cause more stress?reassurance(放心) is the key.
Remember that some level of stress is normal; let kids know that it’s OK to feel angry,scared,lonely,or anxious and that other people share those feelings.
51.The passage is mainly written for ________.
A.parents B.teachers
C.kids D.doctors
解析:选A。推理判断题。依据第二段as can good parenting和Make time for your kids each day推断本文对象主要是针对父母的。
52.You can do the following to help reduce children’s stress EXCEPT ________.
A.making yourself available
B.showing interest in kids’ days
C.reminding them some stress is OK
D.trying to offer more information
解析:选D。细节理解题。依据第五段Too much information can cause more stress推断也不能盲目给孩子太多信息,无形中增加压力。
53.The underlined “cutting back on” in the fourth paragraph probably means ________.
A.reducing B.increasing
C.creating D.expecting
解析:选A。猜测词义题。上文提到孩子回家没有时间玩说明作业和活动太多,应减少活动量。
54.The purpose of the passage is ________.
A.to find out the sources of stress
B.to offer tips on dealing with stress
C.to give advice on how to relax
D.to explain why stress is harmful
解析:选B。推理判断题。本文主要介绍孩子压力的来源及减压措施,因此B项是最佳答案,C项relax含义太广,脱离本文主旨。
B
The Invention of Hugo Cabret,by Brian Selznick,is a novel like no other.There are pages of exciting events and then suddenly,wait! A picture with tiny details,then a big picture that takes up the whole page-and the next page,and the next page,and the next!The pictures are actually telling the story.It’s like a book and a movie all in one.
I recently had the opportunity to talk with Selznick about his unique novel.I wanted to know just how he came up with the concept of writing a novel that reads like a picture book.
“Because the book was so much about movies and the history of cinema,I also wanted to figure out how to make a book that was also like a movie,” Selznick said.
Writing and illustrating the book was a long and hard process,Selznick said.One of the challenges was figuring out what the story was really about and what happens to the main character,Hugo.Selznick also had to figure out how to make the narrative and the pictures work together to tell the story.
Working with pictures was natural for Selznick.He has actually spent most of his career as an illustrator and really considers himself more of an artist than a writer.
But sometimes figuring out what was going to happen in the story was not easy,he told me.He had no idea what the story was going to be about when he started writing.He didn’t know if it was going to be sad,adventurous,or exciting.For now,Selznick doesn’t plan on writing a sequel (续集) to the book,but he warns,“You can never say never.”
55.The Invention of Hugo Cabret is ________.
A.a novel on which a popular movie has been based
B.a novel only using pictures explaining series of events
C.a book which tells children how to draw pictures
D.a book packed with pictures-a combination of words and drawings
解析:选D。推理判断题。依据前两段推断The Invention of Hugo Cabret是一部特殊的小说,作者把文字和图片相结合,独具匠心。
56.What does Brian Selznick think of writing the novel
A.Challenging. B.Time?saving.
C.Adventurous. D.Foolish.
解析:选A。细节理解题。依据第四段One of the challenges was figuring out知道答案。
57.By saying “You can never say never”,Selznick means ________.
A.it’s hard to say whether he will continue writing the book
B.it is such a difficult book that he won’t continue it
C.he will never give up writing a sequel to the book
D.he will never write a novel like The Invention of Hugo Cabret
解析:选A。语意理解题。依据最后一段内容推测即使作者本人也难以断定是否会继续写下去。
58.It can be inferred that the text is ________.
A.an introduction to an unusual novel
B.a summary record of an interview
C.a biography of the novelist Brian Selznick
D.an ad persuading kids into buying the novel
解析:选B。推理判断题。依据第二段特别是I recently had the opportunity to talk with Selznick about his unique novel推断这是作者采访作家后写下的概述。
C
A new study of 8,000 young people in the journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make grown?ups live healthily and happily,it is a bad thing for young people.Puppy love (早恋) may bring trouble for young people and can cause depression (沮丧).The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys,and young girls are the worst of all.
The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”.According to the study,even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic (浪漫的) relationship”,this “loss of self” is much more likely to cause depression when it happens to girls.Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions.They won’t tell that to their parents.
Dr.Marianm Kaufman,who works on young people problems,says 15% to 20% of young people will have depression during their growing.Trying romance often causes the depression.She advises kids not to jump into romance too early.During growing up,it is important for young people to build strong friendship and a strong sense of self.She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends,attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.
Parents should watch for their children’s eating or mood changes.If they see some,they need to give help.The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age.Love will always make us feel young,but only maturity (成熟) gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.
59.What’s the main idea of the passage
A.Puppy love may bring young people depression.
B.Parents should agree to their children’s love.
C.Romance is a two?edged sword for grown?ups.
D.Romance is good for young people.
解析:选A。根据第一段第1、2句“...although love can make grown?ups live healthily and happily,it is a bad thing for young people.Puppy love may bring trouble for young people and can cause depression”可知A项为正确答案。
60.Who are most likely to become depressed
A.Young people who have a strong sense of self.
B.Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.
C.Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.
D.Careless parents whose children are deep in love.
解析:选C。根据第二段内容可知C项为正确答案。
61.According to the passage,the author ________ puppy love.
A.is for B.is against
C.is not interested in D.thinks highly of
解析:选B。根据文章最后一句“Love will always make us feel young,but only maturity gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects”可知正确答案为B项。
62.Dr.Marianm Kaufman does NOT suggest parents’encouraging their kids to ________.
A.keep close to their friends
B.attend more interesting activities
C.chat more on line
D.spend more time with their family
解析:选C。根据文章第3段最后一句“She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends,attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family”可知正确答案为C项。
D
National Family Week-an event that encourages families to spend more time together-carried out a study among 8-15 year?olds.The study found 40% of girls thought Facebook was one of the most important things in their lives-compared with 6% of boys.Parents were found to underestimate (低估) the importance of Internet technology.
The role of social networking was particularly important in families with a single mother as parent.The survey was carried out last month and based on 3,000 parents and 1,000 children across the UK.
The survey shows that girls are using social networking as something central to their social and family life.Girls saw websites such as Facebook as much more influential (有影响力的) than television,magazines, famous people and even their own brothers and sisters.Asked to name the three most important things in their lives, the most popular choices for girls were friends, family and then Facebook and MSN.
Girls are also more likely to believe that technology-in the form of social networking and mobile phones-plays an important role in their lives.While 41% of girls think technology is one of their biggest influences,only 17% of boys believe this.
Girls see their big influences as parents,teachers and technology,while boys choose parents,friends and school as their big influences.The survey says that parents have failed to keep up with their children’s use of technology,overestimating (高估) their own importance in their children’s lives.
The survey also looked at how children thought about their relationships with their parents.It found that both boys and girls would much rather have stories read to them by their mothers.However,girls felt closer to their fathers,while boys felt closer to their mothers.
【解题导语】 一项调查显示, 网络已经成为女孩生活中最具影响力的因素之一。
63.What can we know from the first paragraph
A.The study was carried out by the government.
B.The researchers studied more girls than boys.
C.Boys liked to surf the Internet more than girls.
D.Parents didn’t think the Internet was so important.
解析:选D。细节理解题。由第一段最后一句可知,父母过分低估网络技术的重要性。
64.How many people were included in the survey last month
A.1,000. B.2,000.
C.3,000. D.4,000.
解析:选D。细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知,这个调查涉及3000名父母和1000名孩子,故总人数为4000。
65.Which of the following is NOT among the three most important things for girls

C.Facebook and MSN. D.Friends.
解析:选A。细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知,女孩们认为最重要的三样东西是朋友、家庭以及Facebook和MSN,老师并不在列。故选A项。注意不要与倒数第二段提到的最具影响力的因素相混淆。
66.According to the passage,the survey shows ________.
A.girls felt closer to their mothers
B.children are better at using technology than their parents
C.televisions are much more influential in girls than magazines
D.more boys regard technology as one of the biggest influences than girls
解析:选B。细节理解题。由最后一段最后一句可知,女孩与父亲更亲近,A错误;由第五段第二句可知,孩子比父母更擅长使用网络等科技,B正确;由第三段第二句可知,C错误;由第四段可知,D错误。

On Nov.18,1995,Itzhak Perlman,the violinist,came on stage to give a concert.If you have ever been to a Perlman concert,you know that getting on stage is no small achievement for him.He was stricken with polio(小儿麻痹症) as a child,and so he walks with the aid of two crutches.
The audience sat quietly while he makes his way across the stage to his chair and begins his play.But this time,something went wrong.Just as he finished the first few bars,one of the strings on his violin broke.We thought that he would have to stop the concert.But he didn’t.Instead,he waited a moment,closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again.
Of course,anyone knows that it is impossible to play a pleasant work with just three strings.I know that,and you know that,but that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that.
When he finished,there was a breathtaking silence in the room.And then people rose and cheered.There was an extraordinary outburst of applause from every corner of the auditorium.
He smiled,wiped the sweat from this brow and then he said-not proudly,but in a quiet,holy attitude-“You know,sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left.”
This powerful line has stayed in my mind ever since I heard it.And who knows?Perhaps that is the meaning of life-not just for artists but for all of us.
So,perhaps our task in this fast changing,puzzling world in which we live is to make music,at first with all that we have,and then,when that is no longer possible,to make music with what we have left.
【解题导语】 本文讲述了著名小提琴家伊萨克·帕尔曼的一次特殊演奏经历。
67.What made Itzhak Perlman’s performance at the concert special on Nov.18,1995
A.There were too many audience.
B.He was late for the stage.
C.He had a quarrel with the audience.
D.One string of the violin got broken.
解析:选D。细节理解题。从第二段第三句可知,在他刚演奏了几个小节时,一根琴弦断了,但令人惊讶的是,他仍继续演奏。
68.Why did Itzhak Perlman continue his playing after one string was broken
A.Because he was a person of self pride.
B.Because he thought the audience didn’t see that.
C.Because he decided to succeed with the broken violin.
D.Because he didn’t know that the string was broken.
解析:选C。细节理解题。从第五段可知,他认为即使断了一根弦也要用剩下的弦弹奏出属于自己的音乐。
69.Why did the audience give heated claps to Itzhak Perlman
A.Because they were moved by his disease.
B.Because they were moved by his spirit.
C.Because they were laughing at his action.
D.Because they were encouraging him to cheer up.
解析:选B。推理判断题。第四段第二句的rose and cheered和第三句的extraordinary outburst都说明了观众对Itzhak的赞许和认可,而第五段的Itzhak的话也印证了这一点。
70.What is the best title for the passage
A.When you lose the most important thing.
B.How can you give it up easily.
C.Playing a violin with three strings.
D.Playing a violin by yourself.

Dear friends,
As_we_all_know,we_are_what_we_eat.Therefore,it’s_very_important_
for_us_to_form_healthy_eating_habits. However,bad eating habits are still very common among us students.Some of us often go to school without breakfast;some like to have snacks; some others are particular about food;and still some eat or drink too much.All these bad habits will surely do harm to our health.
To keep fit,we should have various healthy diets,which generally include proper amounts of fish,meat,vegetables,fruit as well as main food.Besides,we’d better have meals regularly.
In my opinion,we should try to develop healthy eating habits to build up a strong body.Only in this way can we have enough energy to study better.

4.A.polite B.important
C.fine D.special
解析:选C。接打电话感觉真好,故此电话逐步成瘾。

C.result D.effect
解析:选B。“情形”越来越严重,由爱接打电话到离不开电话,心理依赖逐步加剧。
6.A.frequent B.regular
C.unusual D.particular
解析:选A。接上句情形越来越严重,由爱接打电话到经常性的使用,直至病态地成瘾(下文)。
7.A.friends B.study
C.family D.work
解析:选D。上文说从早上醒来到晚上入睡,都想接打电话,应有一半时间是在家里,而此时应该是在工作的地方。下文也有During the day(在白天,他应该在上班),故选work。
8.A.a quick B.a secret
C.an expected D.an extra
解析:选A。因正在上班,但又抵挡不住想打电话的诱惑,所以偷偷溜出去打电话,当然是匆匆打个电话(a quick call)。
9.A.hopeful B.delighted

C.determined D.helpless
答案:B
15.A.save B.reduce

C.stealing D.emptying
答案:A
17.A.offered B.guided
C.ordered D.reminded
解析:选C。在电话亭打电话要用钱,把最后一枚硬币用完了,电话便打不下去了。可以想象,因打不成电话连老板都敢打的人,当然也敢因打不成电话而“打”电话亭了。警察会认为他有心理疾病(他的确有病),而“命令”他去看心理医生了,这才有最后一段的试着戒除电话瘾的陈述。
18.A.missed B.had
C.received D.fixed
解析:选B。不是接电话(receive)、误电话(miss)或安电话(fix),而是家里根本就没电话,下文提到去电话亭打电话大概是因为家里电话拆了(原本有的),连电视都尽量不看,怕触景生情,见电话而犯瘾,家里怎敢留着电话?
19.A.as B.when
C.if D.since
解析:选D。家里没电话三周了,好多天没用电话亭了,(试着戒电话瘾),填since,符合句型“it is+过去的时间或动作+since+一段时间”,意为:自从……(到现在为止)已(多长时间了)。
20.A.always B.just
C.more D.different
解析:选A。电视上“总是”有人打电话(也确实不少),自己看了便想打电话,这还怎么戒电话瘾呢?只好尽量不看了。
Ⅴ.阅读理解
I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill.It was 1994,but I can remember my mother’s words as if it were yesterday: “Kerrel,I don’t want you to take food from your father,because he has AIDS.Be very careful when you are around him.”
AIDS wasn’t something we talked about in my country when I was growing up.From then on,I knew that this would be a family secret.My parents were not together anymore,and my dad lived alone.For a while,he could take care of himself.But when I was 12,his condition worsened.My father’s other children lived far away,so it fell to me to look after him.
We couldn’t afford all the necessary medication for him,and because Dad was unable to work,I had no money for school supplies and often couldn’t even buy food for dinner.I_would_sit_in_class_feeling_completely_lost,the_teacher’s_
words_muffled_as_I_tried_to_figure_out_how_I_was_going_to_manage.
I did not share my burden (负担) with anyone.I had seen how people reacted to AIDS.Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease.And even adults could be cruel.When my father was moved to the hospital,the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself.
I had known that he was going to die,but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret,I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days.Sad and hopeless,I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support.That day,she kept me on the phone for hours.I was so lucky to find someone who cared.She saved my life.
I was 15 when my father died.He took his secret away with him,having never spoken about AIDS to anyone,even me.He didn’t want to call attention to AIDS.I do.
1.What does Kerrel tell us about her father
A.He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill.
B.He depended on the nurses in his final days.
C.He worked hard to pay for his medication.
D.He told no one about his disease.
解析:选D。判断题。最后一段“He took his secret away with him,having never spoken about AIDS to anyone”可知D正确。
2.What can we learn from the underlined sentence
A.Kerrel couldn’t understand her teacher.
B.Kerrel had special difficulty in hearing.
C.Kerrel was too troubled to focus on the lesson.
D.Kerrel was too tired to hear her teacher’s words.
解析:选C。判断题。文中第三段前面讲到家庭状况很差,不能负担父亲的医疗费、我上学需要的钱甚至是吃饭的钱,因此很受困扰。这种困扰带到课堂上,影响了上课,因此选C。
3.Why did Kerrel keep her father’s disease a secret
A.She was afraid of being looked down upon.
B.She thought it was shameful to have AIDS.
C.She found no one willing to listen to her.
D.She wanted to obey her mother.
解析:选A。细节推断题,可以从第四段寻找答案。第四段讲到“我看到过人们对待艾滋病的态度”,并且举例说明。因此作者不告诉别人的原因是怕别人看不起。
4.Why did Kerrel write the passage
A.To tell people about the sufferings of her father.
B.To show how little people knew about AIDS.
C.To draw people’s attention to AIDS.
D.To remember her father.
解析:选C。判断题。从最后一句可以判断,“He didn’t want to call attention to AIDS.I do.”可知写这篇文章的目的是为了引起人们对艾滋病的重视,选C。
