A traveller was staying in an Egyptian village. One day, she held up her camera to take pictures of the children. Suddenly the young ones began to shout at her. The traveller's face turned red and she apologized to the head for what she was doing, and told him she had forgotten that people in some places believed a person would lose his soul(灵魂) if his picture was taken. She explained to him the operation of a camera for a long time. Several times the head tried to say something, but he couldn't. When she believed that the head didn't fear any longer, the traveller then let him speak. With a smile, he said, "The children were trying to tell you that you forgot to take off the lens(镜头) cap!"

Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s.The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.
Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.
People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.
Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.
It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.
51. A good title for this reading passage is______.
A. Popeye the Sailor B. The Truth About Spinach
C.A Mistake with Numbers D. Folic Acid Makes You Strong
52. Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor
A. They thought spinach made them strong.
B. They thought Popeye was funny.
C. Spinach had a lot of iron.
D. People liked folic acid.
53. A research group told people that spinach______.
A. made Popeye strong
B. was a green vegetable
C. had less iron than other green vegetables
D. had more iron than other green vegetables
54. The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from______.
A. iron B. folic acid C. spinach D. exercise
55. Folic acid is ______.
A. something in food B. a vegetable
C. dangerous D. a certain kind of spinach
C
Body and Food
Your body, which has close relations with the food you eat, is the most important thing you own, so it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment (营养).The old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”is not as silly as some people think. The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin C. Many people take extra vitamins in pill form, believing that these will make them healthy.
But a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesn’t need or use extra vitamins, so why waste money on them
In the modern western world, many people are too busy to bother about eating properly. They throw anything into their stomachs, eating hurriedly and carelessly. The list of illnesses caused or made worse by bad eating habits is frightening,

At midnight on New Year’s Eve, people in Rome, Italy, throw out all the things they no longer want. The streets are filled with old chairs, beds, clothes and dishes.

Thank you for your valuable suggestions. We have decided to show the Chinese character along with the Hanyu Pinyin for names of Chinese personages, places and specific things as from the next issue.
Reply letter B
Thank you for your suggestions. Next year will be the 50th anniversary of the establishment of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. One of our staff reporters has just returned from Xinjiang and written a long article about her trip. Next year, we will have even more coverage of Xinjiang.
Reply letter C
Other readers have asked us for similar information and we have so far answered them individually. In this issue, we will print an open reply. We discovered after making a survey that there are few books to be found on China printed in English. Most are published by the Foreign Languages Press and China International press, from where it is possible to buy books directly.
Reply letter D
A majority of Chinese tourists travel abroad in order to see different landscapes and various cultures, to appreciate an exotic atmosphere and to get to know local customs. Some Chinese tourists nevertheless go to China towns, because they can eat Chinese food there. For those who don’t know English or the native language of the country they visit, it is convenient to go shopping or find entertainment in a Chinatown.
Reply letter E
We have taken on your suggestions to start a column on personalities. There are kinds of reports, such as movie stars, directors, businessmen, singers and so on. Our reports not only introduce their achievements, but also report their inner world. We hope you will enjoy it.

I have just started reading your magazine regularly and enjoy the articles very much. I have one comment to make. Can you include the Chinese characters for the names of people, places, etc that you mention with the Hanyu Pinyin of Romanized phonetic system that you use For example, what is “Emei” or “Qitaihe”or “Shaoxing” in Chinese It’s also helpful for those of us who are learning Chinese.
Letter B.
It was interesting to read the magazine. I wonder if you could start a column which introduces the Chinese elites of art, business, sports, politics, especially directors, actors, anchors(主持人)and singers. I believe readers will also appreciate a livelier style.
Letter C
I am a civil servant in Xinjiang, a region relatively underdeveloped in comparison with other provinces. But this does not mean it belong to another world. Xinjiang could benefit from overseas exchanges as well as contact with people living in other regions. Could you include articles about Xinjiang and its people I suggest magazines report more about the western regions, especially exotic and charming Xinjiang.
Letter D
I am an avid(热衷的)reader of your magazine and it has helped me to introduce China to foreign friends. Thank you for great efforts to bring New China to the world. Next month, I may get the opportunity to go to Nigeria, so I must learn more about China’s history and culture. Could you kindly recommend a suitable book in English
Letter E
It was interesting to read “Chinese Travelers Step out”. It seems a large percentage of Chinese tourists visit the West. In Indonesia, Chinese New Year is an official holiday. How would you assess the level of interest Chinese tourists have in Indonesia Would they like to visit Chinatowns or other unique attractions in Indonesia

第三部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节　(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
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。
A
Recently, one of my best friends, whom I've shared just about everything with since the first day of kindergarten, spent the weekend with me. Since I moved to a new town several years ago，we've both always looked forward to the few times a year when we can see each other.
Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night, talking about the people she was hanging around with. She started telling me stories about her new boyfriend, about how he experimented with drugs and was into other self destructive behaviour. I was blown away! She told me how she had been lying to her parents about where she was going and even stealing out to see this guy because they didn't want her around him. No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she deserved better, she didn't believe me. Her self respect seemed to have disappeared.
I tried to convince her that she was ruining her future and heading for big trouble. I felt like I was getting nowhere. I just couldn't believe that she really thought it was acceptable to hang out with a bunch of losers, especially her boyfriend.
By the time she left，I was really worried about her and exhausted by the experience. It had been so frustrating，I had come close to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe we had just grown too far apart to continue our friendship, but I didn't. I put the power of friendship to the final test. We'd been friends for far too long. I had to hope that she valued me enough to know that I was trying to save her from hurting herself. I wanted to believe that our friendship could conquer anything.
A few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our conversation, and then she told me that she had broken up with her boyfriend. I just listened on the other end of the phone with tears of joy running down my face. It was one of the truly rewarding moments in my life. Never had I been so proud of a friend.
56．In the writer's opinion，her friend ________.
A. was a girl with no self respect
B. could find a better boyfriend
C. was brave enough to stick to her own choice
D. didn't value the writer's suggestion
[解析]推理判断题。作者在第二段中提到好友的男友有吸毒及堕落行为，并尽力劝好友悬崖勒马，由此可知作者认为这样的男子不配做好友的男友。此外，本段中的“she deserved better”也是线索提示。作者的好友最终听从了作者的建议，因此D项不正确。
[答案]B
57．What did the writer worry about
A. She would lose the friendship with her.
B. Her friend's parents would be worried about their daughter.
C. Her friend would get into great trouble with the boy.
D. Her friend's boyfriend would be in great trouble.
[解析]细节理解题。根据第三段第一句话的后半部分可知作者担心好友与那个男孩在一起会惹上麻烦。
[答案]C
58．We may learn from Paragraph 3 that the writer________.
A. didn't want to go anywhere else
B. understood her friend's hanging with her boyfriend
C. couldn't believe that her friend's choice was acceptable
D. doubted that she could in any way help her friend
[解析]推理判断题。根据本段中的“I felt like I was getting nowhere.”可知作者怀疑自己无法帮助自己的好友。
[答案]D
59．What can be concluded from the passage
A．Friendship starting from childhood is not reliable.
B．Friendship is a cure for any injury in life.
C．Friendship should be everlasting once begun.
D．Friendship can have magical power in life.
[解析]推理判断题。倒数第二段最后一句提到作者相信友谊能够征服一切，最后一段提到作者的好友认真思索后接受了作者的建议，由此可推断友谊在生活中具有神奇的力量。
[答案]D
B
(·浙江金华十校3月联考)As a kid, I can remember going to the supermarket and grabbing eggs off the shelf. I would run them home to my mother because they were usually going into a delicious cake. Times have changed. Cage free Organic Brown White Omega 3s Help! Here are some tips to help you figure out which eggs you should choose：
●Brown or white In fact，color is simply a sign of the breed of hen. Find the freshest egg with the most flavor and let color be a secondary concern.
●Extra Omega 3s Omega 3 eggs come from a hen whose diet has added flaxseed(亚麻籽) ，which produces an egg containing an average of 225 mg of Omega 3 fatty acids and Vitamin E. The countless health benefits for humans make these eggs an attractive purchase. My opinion Eat a piece of fresh fish and get a pure dose of Omega 3s. Let eggs be eggs.
●Does your egg need exercise Free range eggs are from hens raised without the confines of a cage, though they may or may not have spent much time outdoors. Organic eggs are from hens whose feed must meet organic standards. These hens must be raised humanely, and they must be given time to stay outdoors. Hey，happier hens do lay tastier eggs.
●Does local make a difference Nothing is better than local eggs. They may have a feather or two stuck to them or be a little imperfect shape and they may or may not be certified (证明) organic; however, they have one quality I prize：I know exactly where my food came from and how it came to be! In some cases I can even ask the farmer when the eggs were laid and what the hens were fed.
60．What does the author think of Omega 3 eggs
A. They are a good choice for people to purchase.
B. They contain fewer Omega 3s than fresh fish.
C. They have the highest content of pure Omega 3s.
D. They are not the best source of Omega 3s.
[解析]由第三段最后两句话可知，要想补充Omega 3脂肪酸，吃一片新鲜鱼就可以了，不必挑选含有这种成分的鸡蛋。即D项正确。
[答案]D
61．The underlined part “Free range” probably means“________”．
A. wild B. organic
C. special D. Omega 3 free
[解析]根据第四段第二句话中的from hens raised without the confines of a cage可知，free range eggs 是指放养在野外(wild)的鸡生的蛋，因此选A项。
[答案]A
62．According to the passage, which of the following has nothing to do with an egg's quality
A. The egg's color. 　　　 B. The hen's exercise.
C. The hen's living conditions. 　 D. The hen's food.
[解析]由第二段可知，鸡蛋的颜色不影响鸡蛋的质量，鸡蛋不同的颜色只是因为鸡的品种不同。
[答案]A
63．This passage is most probably taken from a book named________.
A. Shopping Skills B. Eggs and Cooking
C. Raising Hens D. Healthy Diet
[解析]文章讲述的是有关健康饮食方面的事情，因此选D项合理。
[答案]D
C
I fell in love with the minister's son the winter I turned fourteen. He was not Chinese. For Christmas I prayed for the boy, Robert. When I found out that my parents had invited the minister's family over for Christmas Eve dinner, I cried in panic. What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas What would he think of our noisy Chinese relatives who lacked proper American manners
On Christmas Eve, my mother created abundant Chinese food. And then they arrived—the minister's family and all my relatives. Robert greeted hello, and I pretended he_was_not_worthy_of_existence._
Dinner threw me deeper into disappointment. My relatives licked (舔) the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the table. Robert and his family waited patiently for a large plate to be passed to them. My relatives murmured with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish. Robert made a face. Then my father reached his chopsticks just below the fish eye and picked out the soft meat. “Amy, your favorite.”he said, offering me the tender fish cheek. I wanted to disappear.
At the end of the meal, my father leaned back and burped(打嗝) loudly, thanking my mother for her fine cooking. “It's a polite Chinese custom to show you are satisfied.”explained my father to our astonished guests. Robert was looking down at his plate with a reddish face. The minister managed to bring up a quiet burp. I was shocked into silence for the rest of the night.
After everyone had gone，my mother said to me，“You want to be the same as American girls on the outside.”She handed me an early gift.It was a miniskirt.“But inside you must always be Chinese.You must be proud that you are different.Your only shame is to have shame.”
It was not until years later that I was able to fully appreciate her lesson and the purpose behind her particular menu. For Christmas Eve that year, she had chosen excellent Chinese food.
64. When the writer found out the minister's family would come for Christmas Eve dinner, she cried mainly because ________.
A. she worried about their shabby Chinese Christmas
B. she worried about their Chinese relatives lacking American manners
C. she worried about meeting the minister's family
D. she worried about being laughed at
[解析]推理判断题。从第一段最后两个问句可推断出，作者担心中国过节的传统文化不符合美国人的文化习俗，餐桌上的一些“失礼”会让人家嘲笑。
[答案]D
65．What does “he was not worthy of existence” probably mean It means________.
A. the writer was not interested in his existence
B. he was worthless
C. he should not exist
D. the writer expected his coming
[解析]推理判断题。文章开头说作者喜欢上了那位美国男孩，圣诞节为他祈祷，说明她对那男孩很感兴趣，肯定是盼望见到他，但出于少女的羞涩，她假装对人家不感兴趣。
[答案]A
66．The dinner threw the writer deeper into disappointment mainly because________.
A. her relatives licked the ends of their chopsticks
B. her father reached his chopsticks to pick fish for her
C. her father leaned back and burped loudly
D. she childishly expected all of them to act in the same way as Americans at table
[解析]推理判断题。A、B、C三项都是在进餐的过程中作者的亲戚们表现出的不符合美国习惯的中国人的习惯，这是作者早就担心的事情，所以在吃饭过程中作者感到越来越失望，D项可以把前三项都包括进去，比较全面。
[答案]D
67．We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. the writer appreciated her mother's lesson years later
B. the writer must be proud that she is different
C. the mother prepared to show Chinese different food culture
D. the minister's family really enjoyed the food
[解析]推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“为了那年的圣诞晚宴，她选择了极好的中国食物”可看出，作者的母亲是想趁此机会展示中国不同的饮食文化。A项可以从文中直接得到，故排除。
[答案]C
D
It is true that good writers rewrite and rewrite and then rewrite some more.But in order to work up the desire to rewrite，it is important to learn to like what you write at the early stage.
I am surprised at the number of famous writers I know who say that they so dislike reading their own writing later that they even hate to look over the publishers' opinions.One reason we may dislike reading our own work is that we're often disappointed that the rich ideas in our minds seem very thin and plain when first written down.Jerry Fodor and Steven Pinker suggest that this fact may be a result of how our minds work.
Different from popular belief，we do not usually think in the words and sentences of ordinary language but in symbols for ideas (known as‘mentalese’)，and writing our ideas down is an act of translation from that symbolic language.But while mentalese contains our thoughts in the form of a complex tapestry (织锦)，writing can only be composed one thread at a time.Therefore it should not be surprising that our first attempt at expressing ideas should look so simple.It is only by repeatedly rewriting that we produce new threads and connect them to get closer to the ideas formed in our minds.
When people write as if some strict critics (批评家) are looking over their shoulder，they are so worried about what this critic might say that they get stuck before they even start.Peter Elbow makes an excellent suggestion to deal with this problem.When writing we should have two different minds.At the first stage，we should see every idea，as well as the words we use to express it，as wonderful and worth putting down.It is only during rewrites that we should examine what we excitedly wrote in the first stage and check for weaknesses.
68．What do we learn from the text about those famous writers
A．They often regret writing poor works.
B．Some of them write surprisingly much.
C．Many of them hate reading their own works.
D．They are happy to review the publishers' opinions.
[解析]细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可以得出答案：许多著名作家不喜欢读自己的作品。
[答案]C
69．What do people generally believe about the way human minds work
A．People think in words and sentences.
B．Human ideas are translated into symbols.
C．People think by connecting threads of ideas.
D．Human thoughts are expressed through pictures.
[解析]细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知，人们的普遍认识是：人们用词语或句子的方式进行思考，故答案为A项。
[答案]A
70．What can we conclude from the text
A．Most people believe we think in symbols.
B．Loving our own writing is scientifically reasonable.
C．The writers and critics can never reach an agreement.
D．Thinking and writing are different stages of mind at work.
[解析]推理判断题。由第三段第一句可知A项错误；由第二段可知许多作家不喜欢读自己的作品，可排除B项；由最后一段可知C项不正确。根据第三段中的“But while mentalese contains...”一句可知思考和书写是两个不同的工作阶段，故答案选D项。
[答案]D

If so，we'll be able to keep the sacred friendship burning all our life.

In my dual (双重的) profession __36__ an educator and health care provider，I have worked with many children infected with HIV. They have taught me so many things, but I have especially learned that great __37__ can be found in the smallest individuals. Let me tell you about Tyler.
Tyler was __38__ infected with HIV；his mother was also infected. From the very beginning of his life，he was dependent on medications to __39__ him to survive. When he was five, he had a tube inserted in a vein(静脉) in his chest. At times, he also needed extra oxygen to support his __40__.
Tyler wasn't __41__ to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was not __42__ to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicine loaded backpack and __43__ his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon (小手推车). All of us who knew Tyler were impressed by his pure __44__ in being alive and the energy it gave him. Tyler's mom often __45__ him by telling him that he moved so __46__ she needed to dress him in red. That way，when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard，she could quickly __47__ him.
This deadly disease eventually __48__ down Tyler. He grew quite ill and, unfortunately, __49__ did his HIV infected mother. When it became __50__ that he wasn't going to survive, Tyler's mom talked to him about __51__. She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too，and that she would be with him soon in heaven.
A few days before his death，Tyler __52__ to me to come to his hospital bed and __53__，“I might die soon. I'm not __54__. When I die，please dress me in __55__ . Mom promised she's coming to heaven, too.I'll be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me.”
36．A.in B．for
C．as D．on
[解析]由第一空后面的an educator and health care provider可知，前面缺少表示“作为”的介词来连接后面的双重职业身份，选项中as后面接表身份或职业的名词。
[答案]C
37．A.pleasure B．pain
C．sorrow D．courage
[解析]从下文可知，“我”特别了解到了Tyler这个弱小的家伙身上有着巨大的勇气。courage“勇气”。pleasure“快乐”；sorrow“悲伤”；pain“痛苦”，都不符合语意。
[答案]D
38．A.seriously B．born
C．unlucky D．disappointingly
[解析]be born infected with HIV表示“天生/出生时携带HIV”，从后半句his mother was also infected和后一句可以推知答案选B项。
[答案]B
39．A.cause B．enable
C．make D．lead
[解析]从上文提示可知，他依赖药物治疗，这能使他活下去。enable“使能够”。cause“引起”；make“使得”，应该用make sb.do sth.结构；lead“导致”，应该用lead to sth.。
[答案]B
40．A.breathing B．living
C．running D．walking
[解析]从该句中的oxygen可知，他需要额外的氧气来支撑他的呼吸，其他选项不符合语境。
[答案]A
41．A.happy B．willing
C．daring D．discouraged
[解析]根据下文语境可知，Tyler不愿意放弃他童年的快乐时间，此处语意表示他的心理状态，故用be not willing“不乐意，不愿意”。
[答案]B
42．A.common B．unusual
C．surprised D．ordinary
[解析]所以我们经常可以看到Tyler背着装满药物的背包，后面小车中拖着氧气瓶，在后院玩耍、跑步。
[答案]B
43．A.dragging B．carrying
C．pushing D．taking
[解析]从常识可知，车在后面，应该是拖着，而不是carry“携带”；push“推”；take“带走”。drag“拖着”。
[答案]A
44．A.character B．joy
C．moment D．excitement
[解析]从上下文可知，“我们”都对Tyler的那种努力活下去的纯真快乐(joy)印象深刻。character“性格”；moment“时刻”；excitement“兴奋”。
[答案]B
45．A.comforted B．scolded
C．teased D．praised
[解析]从常识判断，他母亲也是苦中作乐，常取笑他，告诉他跑得太快了，以至于他需要穿红色衣服，以便她透过窗户看他的时候能够很快发现他。tease“取笑”；comfort“安慰”；scold“指责”；praise“表扬”，都与语境不符合。
[答案]C
46．A.slowly B．happily
C．quickly D．fast
[解析]slowly和happily不符合语境。quickly强调动作迅速、敏捷，而fast则强调速度快，D项符合语境。
[答案]D
47．A.know B．spot
C．stop D．observe
[解析]spot这里表示“发现，看见”。
[答案]B
48．A.tore B．broke
C．wore D．kicked
[解析]从上下文可知，这致命的病最终消耗了Tyler的生命。wear down“(使)消耗，损耗”；tear down“拆毁，拆卸”；break down作“垮掉”讲时人作主语，即用Tyler broke down才对；kick down“踢倒”。
[答案]C
49．A.neither B．so
C．such D．nor
[解析]此处是so引起的倒装结构，表示“他母亲也如此(快要死了)”，所以选B项。
[答案]B
50．A.apparent B．hopeless
C．sure D．terrible
[解析]apparent“明显的，显然的”；hopeless“无望的”；sure跟从句时不能是it作主语；terrible“可怕的，糟糕的”。语境表示“很明显Tyler活不了了”，故选A项。
[答案]A
51．A.life B．dream
C．future D．death
[解析]他母亲跟他聊起了死亡的话题。由后面一句可知答案选D项。
[答案]D
52．A.waved B．said
C．signed D．explained
[解析]他死前几天示意我到他病床边。sign“示意”。wave“招手，挥手”，一般不跟不定式。
[答案]C
53．A.whispered B．shouted
C．cried D．spoke
[解析]由常识判断，他濒临死亡，肯定很虚弱，只能轻轻地向我说。B、C两项不符合语境，D项后面通常不跟直接引语。whisper“低语，耳语”。
[答案]A
54．A.excited B．surprised
C．scared D．happy
[解析]Tyler说他不害怕死亡，但他死后，要给他穿红色衣服，这样在天堂他母亲就能很容易地认出他来。根据语境选C项。scared“害怕的”。
[答案]C
55．A.red B．white
C．bright D．beauty
[解析]文中46空后有提示，解析参考54题。
[答案]A

[答案]C
B
Clothes can make phone calls, play music, dial your pal's number, keep you warm during cold weather and operate your computer.
This is not a fantasy. A British company, called electro texiles, has created a wide range of clothes—clothes tha have minds of their own ! Scientists, working for the company, have invented a kind of fabric that can be mixed with flexible electronic materials to create intelligent clothing. The results are electronic garments.
If you think the weather has to be wired to different devices, think again. These designer clothes are wirefree, soft to touch and washable! Like any electronic device, these high tech clothes have to be powered. Currently, a tiny nine volt battery serves the purpose. But the researchers hope that in the near future the clothes will generate electricity by using body heat. These clothes are 100% shockproof, they say.
The electrotexiles team has also created the world's first cloth keyboard. These keyboard can be sewn into your trousers or skirt. To use this device, you will have to sit down and tap on your lap! These “lap tap” devices are all set to take over laptop computers!
Another useful garment is the shirt cum mobile phone. This handy invention enables drivers to chat comfortably with others at the wheel!

(·北京海淀期末)We've all met with something that slows us down, for example, the bump(颠簸)in the road，the setback. You just have to keep in mind that a setback is only temporary and greater things lie ahead. Therefore, keep moving forward, developing what you have, since you've already built a solid foundation on which you can rely.
It is easy just to quit，give up and ignore the hard work you have put into something. But we believe in the “two steps forward, one step back” philosophy (哲学). So how can you react when something doesn't turn out as you've expected it to be
First，be objective. Step back and look at the situation. Is your setback really that significant，or will it just require a little extra effort Then, plan your next move. You can ask for help. Don't be afraid or ashamed to do this. Frequently, people are more than willing to give you support and advice.You don't have to be perfect; after all, nobody else is. Next, bounce back. Reevaluate the goals you have set for yourself at the beginning and retool(改组) them as necessary. Goals should be realistic and specific, but that doesn't mean they can't be flexible. Instead of looking at your project as a disaster or a failure, view it with success. Concentrate on how great it will feel after it is finally done, after you have put your all into it. Instead of focusing on a possible unsatisfactory performance one single time, take a moment to sit back and reward yourself for all that you have accomplished.
Above all，don't live with regrets. Success is never easy. It remains up to you whether you will give up, or fight through the tough battles to earn whatever you want. Keep reaching for your goals and you will achieve them. One small setback is nothing if you really want something and are willing to work for it.
67．According to the passage, the philosophy“two steps forward, one step back” means that ________ when meeting with a setback.
A. we are supposed to quit and ignore the hard work
B. we'd better think it over before making a decision
C. we should stop to think before taking further action
D. we are expected to look at things in an all round way
[解析]推理判断题。由文章可知，作者认为很多事情都是“进两步，退一步”式地前行的，所以我们碰到挫折的时候，要学会思考，而不是贸然采取行动，据此，C项符合语意。
[答案]C
68．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to________.
A. a performance B. a success
C. a goal D. a project
[解析]词义猜测题。从倒数第二段中的“Instead of looking at your project as...”可知，作者认为我们不要把自己的事业看做是一种失败，而要用成功的眼光看，想想在你全身心投入其中后，如果它成功，结果将会如何好。由此可以推断出，it指代前面的project，故选D项。
[答案]D
69．When suffering a setback，the most important thing to do is________.
A. to keep moving forward to your goals
B. to depend on others' support and advice
C. to sit back and reward yourself for your success
D. to focus on a possible unsatisfactory performance
[解析]推理判断题。文章最后一段中的“Above all，don't live with regrets...Keep reaching for your goals…”并结合第三段的内容可知，作者认为“不要悔恨，要坚持去实现自己的目标”是最重要的，故选A项。
[答案]A
70．What is the passage mainly about
A. How to avoid the bumps.
B. How to deal with the setbacks.
C. Different attitudes to the setbacks.
D. Different suggestions on your goals.
[解析]主旨大意题。本文中作者告诉人们要正确看待人生中所遇到的挫折，要学会如何去对付它，克服它，而不要碰到挫折就放弃。所以B项最佳。
[答案]B

Shoppers who carefully plan their visit to the grocery store can save money on their grocery bills. __71__
Shoppers should visit the grocery store on a full stomach by scheduling their trip immediately after a large meal. If that's not possible, they should find something healthy to eat while preparing a grocery list. __72__
Although having a list and sticking to it is the most important factor in saving money, shoppers must prepare lists wisely in order to save. __73__ Many special buys are announced through the local newspapers, so buying the “grocery issue”is worth the investment(投资). However, it's important to remember that many newer, more expensive products first offered through coupons may not yield enough savings for shoppers to give up the product they usually buy.
__74__ Once at the store, the shopper who wants to save money should follow a few more rules. The shopper should not stay longer than necessary，because bills go up each minute the shopper is in the store. So, setting a time limit and a cost limit can hold down the bill. __75__ If the grocery list is a short one，some shoppers choose to use the small hand held basket instead of the roomy grocery cart.
A. A carefully planned list should include in season produce and any items on sale or discounted through coupons (优惠券)．
B. Of course, the shopper should stick strictly to the shopping list and resist the temptation to buy additional items.
C. People who are full are less tired and more likely to buy what they want.
D. Now that the shopper has completed the grocery list，it's time to leave for the store.
E. You should keep your shopping list carefully in case you can exchange it for coupons.
F. Most shoppers are less persuaded to buy extra goods when they are not hungry.
G. Shopping when not hungry, sticking to a grocery list，and following a few simple rules will cut down the grocery bill.

With the development of science and technology，more and more children are attracted to play computer games which they're keen on for almost day and night. It does great harm to children's health, especially to their eyes. For the sake of children's health, parents and teachers should help them to play more traditional and healthy games. After all, children's health comes first.
However, what kinds of measures should we take？First，we should let them know the benefits of the traditional and healthy games. Then we should limit their time and places of playing computer games. Finally，train children's abilities of judging the games' advantages and disadvantages, because parents and teachers couldn't accompany them forever. Only children themselves can keep a healthy life through their own efforts to play the traditional and healthy games.2012届高考二轮总复习测试卷（三）英语试卷

第三部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节　(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
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。
A
(·北京高考)
The Cost of Higher Education
Individuals(个人)should pay for their higher education.
A university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual.Graduates earn more than non graduates.Meanwhile，social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree.However，only some people have it.So the individual，not the taxpayers，should pay for it.There are pressing calls on the resources(资源)of the government.Using taxpayers' money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them.
Full government funding(资助)is not very good for universities.Adam Smith worked in a Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees.He knew and looked down upon 18th century Oxford，where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the government.Guaranteed salaries，Smith argued，were the enemy of hard work；and when the academics were lazy and incompetent，the students were similarly lazy.
If students have to pay for their education，they not only work harder，but also demand more from their teachers.And their teachers have to keep them satisfied.If that means taking teaching seriously，and giving less time to their own research interests，that is surely something to celebrate.
Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy(经济)．Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth，but so do all the businesses that invest(投资)and create jobs.If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because graduates are economically productive，you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs.Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the government to invest.
Therefore，it is the individual，not the government，who should pay for their university education.
56．The underlined word“them”in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A．taxpayers B．pressing calls
C．college graduates D．government resources
[解析]词义猜测题。代词them通常指代前文出现的内容，第二段倒数第二句提到“对政府的资源有很多迫切的呼声”，最后一句说到“用纳税人的钱帮助少数人在将来获得高收入不是它们的目的之一”。显然，这儿的them指的就是迫切的呼声。
[答案]B
57．The author thinks that with full government funding ________.
A．teaching are less satisfied
B．students are more demanding
C．students will become more competent
D．teachers will spend less time on teaching
[解析]推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句可知，作者认为，如果大学教育完全由政府资助的话，大学教师们会变得很懒惰很无能。据此可推断，老师们花费在教学上的时间将会更少。
[答案]D
58．The author mentions businesses in Paragraph 5 in order to ________.
A．argue against free university education
B．call on them to finance students' studies
C．encourage graduates to go into business
D．show their contribution to higher education
[解析]推理判断题。第五段第一句提到，很多人认为高等教育应该免费，因为高等教育对经济有好处。作者说既然如此，政府也应该为各大公司企业出资了，因为它们对经济的发展也有巨大的促进作用。这表明，作者不赞成大学教育免费的观点。
[答案]A
B
(·浙江高考)My family and I lived across the street from Southway park since I was four years old.Then just last year the city put a chain link fence around the park and started bulldozing(用推土机推平)the trees and grass to make way for a new apartment complex.When I saw the fence and bulldozers，I asked myself，“Why don't they just leave it alone？”
Looking back，I think what sentenced the park to oblivion(被遗忘)was the drought(旱灾)we had about four years ago.Up until then，Southway Park was a nice green park with plenty of trees and a public swimming pool.My friends and I rollerskated on the sidewalks，climbed the trees，and swam in the pool all the years I was growing up.The park was almost like my own yard.Then the summer I was fifteen the drought came and things changed.
There had been almost no rain at all that year.The city stopped watering the park grass.Within a few weeks I found myself living across the street from a huge brown desert.Leaves fell off the park trees，and pretty soon the trees started dying，too.Next，the park swimming pool was closed.The city cut down on the work force that kept the park，and pretty soon it just got too ugly and dirty to enjoy anymore.
As the drought lasted into the fall，the park got worse every month.The rubbish piled up or blew across the brown grass.Soon the only people in the park were beggars and other people down on their luck.People said drugs were being sold or traded there now.The park had gotten scary，and my mother told us kids not to go there anymore.
The drought finally ended and things seemed to get back to normal，that is，everything but the park.It had gotten into such bad shape that the city just let it stay that way.Then about six months ago I heard that the city was going to“redevelop”certain worn out areas of the city.It turned out that the city had planned to get rid of the park，sell the land and let someone build rows of apartment buildings on it.
The chain link fencing and the bulldozers did their work.Now we live across the street from six rows of apartment buildings.Each of them is three units high and stretches a block in each direction.The neighborhood has changed without the park.The streets I used to play in are jammed with cars now.Things will never be the same again.Sometimes_I_wonder，though，what_changes_another_drought_would_make_in_the_way_things_are_today.
59．How did the writer feel when he saw the fence and bulldozers
A．Scared. B．Confused.
C．Upset. D．Curious.
[解析]推理判断题。根据文章第一段尾句“I asked myself，‘Why don't they just leave it alone？’”及下文提到的这个公园曾经是作者和小伙伴们的乐园可知，作者看到用来隔离的围墙和推土机时肯定是感到有些难过，答案为C项。
[答案]C
60．Why was the writer told not to go to the park by his mother
A．It was being rebuilt.
B．It was dangerous.
C．It became crowded.
D．It had turned into a desert.
[解析]细节理解题。根据文章第四段对干旱之后的公园场景的描述及该段最后一句“The park had gotten scary”可知，这个公园已经不再是过去的样子，到处充满着危险，答案为B项。
[答案]B
61．According to the writer，what eventually brought about the disappearance of the park
A．The drought.
B．The crime.
C．The beggars and the rubbish.
D．The decisions of the city.
[解析]细节理解题。根据文章第五段内容可知，市政府最终决定将公园卖掉开发楼盘，所以答案为D项。
[答案]D
62．The last sentence of the passage implies that if another drought came，________.
A．the situation would be much worse
B．people would have to desert their homes
C．the city would be fully prepared in advance
D．the city would have to redevelop the neighborhood
[解析]推理判断题。公园旧址改造后到处都是建筑物，街上挤满了汽车，这里作者显然带有不满的情绪在里面，所以担心如果再有一场旱灾的话可能情况会更糟，答案为A项。
[答案]A
C

(·安徽皖南八校第二次联考) A well made film offers a whole world of things to watch. First there are the story aspects—the plot, characters, dialogue and themes. Then there are the technical aspects—the camera work, cuttings and special effects. And there are many other things, like the credits, musical score and the acting. A well made film offers much more than you see in one viewing.
Films are a means of communication. They can tell you things，just as newspapers do，or television，or any other means of communication. Sometimes they communicate important things to you，like ideas or lifestyles or ways of looking at the world. Sometimes people are aware of this, and sometimes not. The more you are aware of this，the better you are.
Notice, for example, the way films sometimes affect fashion. A star dresses or wears her hair in a certain way，and suddenly everyone is imitating her. Boys in the 1950s could sometimes be seen wearing black leather jackets, idling (闲逛) on street corners and smoking cigarettes. They were imitating Marion Brando. His films taught them a certain way to behave.
Films can also teach politics. In Star Wars, the heroes were a bunch of lovable incompetents fighting with guts(胆量) and not much else. They were，in fact, rather like the British in the early days of WWⅡ.Their enemies，like the Nazis, had a big advantage in equipment and numbers of troops, and they were like the Nazis in discipline and heartlessness too. The whole film, in fact, was a rerun of WWⅡ， and taught values like faith and love of liberty. This is all to the good，but the point is, did you notice it
67. All of the following are mentioned as noticeable aspects of a film EXCEPT________.
A. the list of names of actors and directors，etc.
B. the cost of a film
C. the music for a film
D. the language used in a film
[解析]细节理解题。通读全文可知，在作者列举的一部电影容易注意到的方面，没有提到一部电影的开支。
[答案]B
68．The last sentence in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.
A. a high quality film can be appreciated repeatedly from different angles
B. a good film always attracts a lot of viewers
C. a well made film usually has more than one theme
D. one can never find out how many characters there are in a good film
[解析]细节理解题。根据这句话中的more than you see in one viewing以及下文内容可知，这句话的大意应该是，一部好电影的美，不是看一次便可以完全看透的。因此A项正确。
[答案]A
69．It can be inferred from the passage that in his film，Marion Brando was ________.
A. a motorist who always wore a black leather jacket
B. a homeless man who died of excessive smoking
C. a rebellious man during WWⅡ
D. an idler who didn't have any serious things to do
[解析]推理判断题。根据文章第三段的内容可知20世纪50年代的男孩子喜欢模仿演员Marion Brando穿着黑色皮夹克在街上闲逛。由此可推知，Marion Brando在电影中应该是演了一个游手好闲的人(idler)。即D项正确。
[答案]D
70．Star Wars is a film________.
A. about WWⅡ B. for politics
C. reflecting WWⅡ D. for peace lovers
[解析]主旨大意题。根据最后一段倒数第二句话可知，C项正确。这句话中的rerun意思是“重现”。《星球大战》是一部折射二战的电影。
[答案]C

[答案]
One possible version：
Dear_Mr._Zhang，
We_have_held_a_discussion_about_whether_it_is_good_or_not_for_a_top_student_to_share_a_desk_with_a_slower_student.
Some are for the idea. As they know, everyone has strengths as well as weaknesses. Although they are not good at lessons, they might do well in other fields like sports or arts. Therefore, they can learn from each other, and they may develop friendship. In addition, top students can help slower ones gain self confidence by helping them with their lessons, which benefits them all.
However，others don't hold the same view. They think some slower students are always making trouble, such as keeping talking in class, breaking school rules, which may lead to them forming bad habits. Besides, slower students often ask top students questions, which has a bad effect on their studies.
In my opinion, I'd like to choose to share a desk with a slower student so that we can learn from each other and make progress together.
Yours，

A
(·福建高考)
Columbus College,241 Queen Elizabeth
Drive，Kowloon City
Memo
To：All Staff
From：Jakie Mok，Secretary；Sports Development Committee
Date：May 20,
A week ago，“Sports for Life”programme was sent to the parents，requiring them to select a sport they wanted their child to play.Since then，our staff have received lots of calls from parents asking for more information about it.Here is a memo(备忘录)for your reference when you answer the phones.
Sports 1：Basketball
We expect that this will be the most popular of the four sports.Therefore，students should be advised to sign up as soon as possible.Students will take a private bus to and from Kwun Tong Sports Park.To cover the cost of hiring a bus，each student will have to pay $10 each time.There will be four basketball courts available for our use with one teacher watching over each game.
Sports 2：Gym
We will be using St.Peter's Memorial Park.There are two reasons for choosing this park.First，it is not very busy and crowded before 6：00 pm.Second，it has lots of trees with plenty of shade.Students must bring along two bottles of water to prevent thirst.Three activities，skipping，jogging，outdoor aerobics(有氧运动)，all of which are free of charge，will be arranged.And there will be a teacher on duty for each of the activities.
Sports 3：Hiking
Hiking(远足)will take place at Kowloon Peak.The activity will start at 2：30 pm and finish 90 minutes later.Three teachers will accompany the students，and a hiking instructor will accompany each group of 15 hikers.Each instructor will cost $75/hr.Students are advised to bring plenty of water and sunscreen.
Sports 4：Swimming
The Kowloon City Aquatic Centre is a 10 minute walk from our school.Four teachers will go to the pool and conduct the goings on from the poolside.We will only be able to reserve the pool for one hour(i.e.2：45 pm to 3：45 pm)．Only students skilful at swimming can take up this activity.The pool will have two lifeguards present.Girls must wear a swimming suit.The cost is $10 per visit.
56．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．Students selecting basketball had better register early.
B．Students participating in gym should arrive at 6：00 pm.
C．Hiking usually begins at 2：30 pm and lasts 2 hours.
D．Students having swimming suits can take up swimming.
[解析]细节理解题。根据Sports 1：Basketball这部分内容的第二句可知，选择篮球的学生最好尽快报名，故A项正确。根据Gym这部分内容的第三句可知，下午六点之前公园人不多，因此学生应该在六点前来到，不是正好在六点，排除B项；根据Hiking这部分内容的第二句可知，该项活动持续的时间是一个半小时，不是两个小时，排除C项；根据Swimming部分的内容可知，只有游泳技术好的学生才能参加这项活动，不是穿了游泳衣就可以，排除D项。
[答案]A
57．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．students taking part in basketball will walk to the courts
B．every student can gain admission to one of the four sports
C．hiking students can have a regular rest in the shade of trees
D．students taking up the four sports should bring bottles of water
[解析]推理判断题。根据第一段第一句．..requiring them to select a sport they wanted their child to play可推断，每个学生都可以参加四项活动中的一项。
[答案]B
58．It can be concluded that ________.
A．each sport will take only one hour
B．students will be charged for the four sports
C．all the sports will take place at Kowloon Peak
D．teachers will accompany students on each sport
[解析]细节理解题。根据Basketball部分的最后一句、Gym中的最后一句、Hiking中的第三句、Swimming中的第二句可判断，四项活动中的每一项都有老师陪同。
[答案]D
59．The purpose of the memo is to ________.
A．attract students' interest in the programme
B．require the parents to select a sport for their child
C．help the staff explain the programme to the parents
D．remind teachers and lifeguards to be present on time
[解析]细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句可知，该备忘录的目的是帮助员工向家长们解释这个项目的具体内容。
[答案]C
B
Edward Wilson is America's, if not the world's, leading naturalist. In The Future of Life, he takes us on a tour of the world's natural resources (资源). How are they used What has been lost What remains and is it able to continue with the present speed of use Wilson also points out the need to understand fully the biodiversity (生物多样性) of our earth.
Wilson begins with an open letter to the pioneer in environment (环境) protection, Henry David Thoreau. He compares today's Walden Pond with that of Thoreau's day. Wilson will use such comparisons for the rest of the book. The problem is clear: man has done great damage to his home over the years. Can the earth, with human help, be made to return to biodiversity levels that will be able to support us in the future
Biodiversity, Wilson argues, is the key to settling many problems the earth faces today. Even our agricultural crops can gain advantages from it. A mere hundred species (物种) are the basis of our food supply, of which but twenty carry the load. Wilson suggests changing this situation by looking into ten thousand species that could be made use of, which will be a way to reduce the clearing of the natural homes of plants and animals to enlarge farming areas.
At the end of the book, Wilson discusses the importance of human values in considering the environment. If you are to continue to live on the earth, you may well read and act on the ideas in this book.
60．We learn from the text that Wilson cares most about ______.
A．the environment for plants
B．the biodiversity of our earth
C．the waste of natural resources
D．the importance of human values
[解析]细节理解题。根据全文描述可知，Wilson在其著作The Future of Life中非常关注生物的多样性。只是简单提到植物的生存环境，自然资源的浪费以及人类价值观的重要性。
[答案]B
61．How many species are most important to our present food supply
A．Twenty. B．Eighty.
C．One hundred. D．Ten thousand.
[解析]细节理解题。文章第三段“A mere hundred species are the basis of our food supply，of which but twenty carry the load.”指出，近一百种物种是人们基本的食物来源，然而主要依赖其中的大约二十种。carry the load意为“挑担子”。
[答案]A
62．Wilson suggests that one way to keep biodiversity is to ______.
A．learn how to farm scientifically
B．build homes for some dying species
C．make it clear what to eat
D．use more species for food
[解析]细节理解题。文章第三段提到“Wilson suggests changing this situation by looking into ten thousand species that could be made use of，which will be a way to reduce the clearing of the natural homes of...”，可以看出使用更多种类的物种作为食物，是保持或促进物种多样性的方法。
[答案]D
63．We can infer that the text is ________.
A．a description of natural resources
B．a research report
C．a book review
D．an introduction to a scientist
[解析]推理判断题。通观全文可以看出，作者的写作目的是介绍Wilson的The Future of Life一书，是一篇书评。
[答案]C
C
(·江苏高考)It is reported that conservation groups in North America have been arguing about the benefits and dangers of wolves.Some groups believe wolves should be killed.Other people believe wolves must be protected so that they will not disappear from the wilderness(荒野)．
For Killing Wolves
In Alaska，the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago，because hunters were killing hundreds of them for sport.However，laws were established to protect the wolves from sportsmen and people who catch the animals for their fur.So the wolf population has greatly increased.Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply.
A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family.People in the wilderness also hunt deer for food.Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by changes in the wilderness plant life.When the deer can't find enough food，they die.
If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer，their prey(猎物)will disappear some day.And the wolves will，too.So we must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance the ecology.If we killed more wolves，we would save them and their prey from dying out.We'd also save some farm animals.
In another northern state，wolves attack cows and chickens for food.Farmers want the government to send biologists to study the problem.They believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small wolf population.
Against Killing Wolves
If you had lived long ago，you would have heard many different stories about the dangerous wolf.According to most stories，hungry wolves often kill people for food.Even today，the stories of the“big bad wolf”will not disappear.
But the fact is wolves are afraid of people，and they seldom travel in areas where there is a human smell.When wolves eat other animals，they usually kill the very young，or the sick and injured.The strongest survive.No kind of animal would have survived through the centuries if the weak members had lived.That has always been a law of nature.
Although some people say it is good sense to kill wolves，we say it is nonsense！Researchers have found wolves and their prey living in balance.The wolves keep the deer population from becoming too large，and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life.
The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used by people.Even if wilderness land is not used directly for human needs，the wolves can't always find enough food.So they travel to the nearest source，which is often a farm.Then there is danger.The“big bad wolf”has arrived！And everyone knows what happens next.
64．According to the passage，some people in North America favor killing wolves for all the following reasons EXCEPT that________.
A．there are too many wolves
B．they kill large numbers of deer
C．they attack cows and chickens for food
D．they destroy the wilderness plant life
[解析]细节理解题。从For Killing Wolves部分看出：第一段最后一句说明狼多是猎狼的原因之一，A项正确；第二段和第三段说明狼杀死大量的鹿是猎狼的原因之一，B项正确；第四段说明狼袭击农民的牛和鸡是猎狼的原因之一，C项正确。由此可知答案为D项，文章没有说明作为食肉动物的狼对野生植物的破坏程度。
[答案]D
65．Some people are against killing wolves because________.
A．wolves help to keep the ecological balance in the wilderness
B．there is too small a wolf population in the wilderness
C．there are too many deer in the wilderness
D．wolves are afraid of people and never attack people
[解析]细节理解题。从Against Killing Wolves部分的第二段和第三段看出，狼猎食其他动物，使其他动物优胜劣汰、适者生存，符合自然界的法则；并且研究表明狼和鹿等其猎物数量保持平衡，避免了鹿群过度膨胀，也保护了野生植物的平衡，因此答案为A项。
[答案]A
66．According to those against killing wolves，when wolves eat other animals，______.
A．they never eat strong and healthy ones
B．they always go against the law of nature
C．they might help this kind of animals survive in nature
D．they disturb the ecological balance in the wilderness
[解析]细节理解题。根据Against Killing Wolves部分的第二段第二句可知，狼通常吃幼小和有病的动物，但不是从来不吃，故A项错误；由这部分第二段最后一句可知，B项错误；由此部分第三段最后一句可知，D项错误；由此部分第二段可知，狼猎食其他动物使它们优胜劣汰，并长期生存下去，故C项正确。
[答案]C
67．The last sentence“And everyone knows what happens next”implies that in such cases________.
A．farm animals will be in danger and have to be shipped away
B．wolves will kill people and people will in turn kill them
C．wolves will find enough food sources on farms
D．people will leave the areas where wolves can live
[解析]推理判断题。从文章的最后一段看出，狼生存的环境遭到人为破坏，找不到足够的食物，就会来到农场等地方觅食，“狼来了”带来的结果必然是“人狼互相残杀”。
[答案]B
D
(·全国Ⅱ)How words came into being is unknown.All we assume(推测)is that some early men invented certain sounds，in one way or another，to express thoughts and feelings，actions and things，so that they could talk with each other.Later they agreed upon certain signs，called letters，which could be put together to show those sounds，and which could be written down.Those sounds，whether spoken or written in letters，are called words.
The power of words，then，lies in their associations—the things they bring up to our minds.Words become filled with meaning for us by experience；and the longer we live，the more certain words bring back to us the happy and sad events of our past；and the more we read and learn，the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings.This clever use of words is what we call literary style(文体)．Above all，the real poet is a master of words.He can express his meaning in words which sing like music，and which by their position and association can move men to tears.We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly，or they will make our speech silly and common.
68．We learn from the text that language might have begun with ________.
A．expressions B．actions
C．signs D．sounds
[解析]推理判断题。根据文章第一段可知，语言可能最早是从声音开始的。
[答案]D
69．What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2
A．The learning of new words.
B．The importance of old words.
C．The relation of human experience with words.
D．The gradual change and development of words.
[解析]主旨大意题。第二段主要介绍词汇和人们的经历之间的关系，特别是根据本段的第二句“Words become filled with meaning for us by experience”可知答案为C项。
[答案]C
70．In the last paragraph，what does the author suggest that we should do
A．Use words skilfully.
B．Make musical speeches.
C．Learn poems by heart.
D．Associate with listeners.
[解析]推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly...”可以推知，作者建议我们熟练运用语言。
[答案]A

Defenders hold the view that short messages offer the audiences more chances to participate in the live programs. In this way, the mass media benefit a lot from them. On the other hand，they appeal to the need of the young people.
Critics accuse that if the short messages are out of control, we cannot ensure the taste of the programs. What's more, the expenses may make audiences feel bad. To make matters worse, some adolescents are so addicted to them that too much time and energy are wasted.
As far as I am concerned, the short message is typical of information technology, but it is a powerful tool that needs to be used with care.2012届高考二轮总复习测试卷（二）英语试卷

(·浙江高考)When you are little，the whole world feels like a big playground.I was living in Conyers，Georgia the summer it all happened.I was a second grader，but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade.Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.
It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie's basement.As I opened the basement door，before us lay the biggest room，full of amazing things like guns，dolls，and old clothes.I ran downstairs，and spotted a red steel can.It was paint.I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple，orange，blue and green.
“Stephanie，I just found us a project for the day.Get some paintbrushes.We are fixing to paint.”She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work.We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard.There on the road in front of my house，we painted big stripes(条纹)of colors across the pavement(人行道)．Stripe by stripe，our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow.It was fantastic!
The sun was starting to sink.I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car.It was my mother.I couldn't wait to show her my masterpiece.The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother's face，I could tell that I was in deep trouble.
My mother shut the car door and walked towards me.Her eyes glaring，she shouted，“What in the world were you thinking？I understood when you made castles out of leaves，and climbed the neighbors' trees，but this！Come inside right now！”I stood there glaring back at her for a minute，angry because she had insulted(侮辱)my art.
“Now go clean it up！”Mother and I began cleaning the road.Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.
Though years have now passed，I still wonder where my rainbow has gone.I wonder if，maybe when I get older，I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away.I guess we all need some sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.
56．What did the writer want to do when his mother came home
A．To introduce Stephanie to her.
B．To prevent her from seeing his painting.
C．To put the materials back in the yard.
D．To show his artwork to her.
[解析]细节理解题。根据文章第四段“I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car.It was my mother.I couldn't wait to show her my masterpiece.”可知，作者看到母亲回来就迫不及待地要将自己的“作品”展示给母亲。
[答案]D
57．In his mother's eyes，the writer________.
A．was a born artist B．always caused trouble
C．was a problem solver D．worked very hard

B．the stripes on the pavement
C．something imaginative and fun
D．important lessons learned in childhood

A．encourage children to paint
B．value friendship among children
C．discover the hidden talent in children
D．protect rather than destroy children's dreams

B
(·四川高考)I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves，most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of.In fact，I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives(观点)by creating worlds we could step into，take part in and live in.
With this unshakable belief，I，at fourteen，decided to become a writer.Here too，reading became useful.Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say，but being unable to find the right ways to say it.He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with，or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world.He cannot write without loving to read，because only through reading other people's writing can one discover what works，what doesn't and，in the end，together with lots of practice，what voice he has.
Now I am in college，and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction(文学作品)．As a law student，my reading is in fact limited to subject matter—the volume(量)of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else.Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life.Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own.It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road，all from the comfort of my own armchair，to experience，though secondhand，exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessariy be able to have in my lifetime.
60．What can be inferred about the author as a child
A．He never watched TV.
B．He read what he had to.
C．He found reading unbelievable.
D．He considered reading part of his life.
[解析]推理判断题。根据“I grew up thinking of reading as natural...by creating worlds we could step into，take part in and live in”可判断出：他认为读书是他生活的一部分。
[答案]D
61．The underlined word“voice”in the second paragraph most probably means“________”．
A．an idea B．a sound quality
C．a way of writing D．a world to write about
[解析]词义猜测题。根据前一句的“...but being unable to find the right ways to say it”可猜测出后一句的voice是“写作风格”的含义。
[答案]C
62．What effect does reading have on the author
A．It helps him to realize his dream.
B．It opens up a wider world for him.
C．It makes his college life more interesting.
D．It increases his interest in worldwide travel.
[解析]推理判断题。根据文章最后一段最后一句话“It allows me to travel across the high seas...exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime”可知，读书开阔了作者的视野。
[答案]B
63．Which of the following can be the best title of this text
A．Why do I read B．How do I read
C．What do I read D．When do I read
[解析]主旨大意题。文章围绕作者童年直到上大学读书展开，提到了作者读书的动机和目的，同时也讲到通过读书给作者带来的益处。故应该选择A项。
[答案]A
C
I was in a rush as always，but this time it was for an important date I just couldn't be late for ! I found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries.A PhD student with not a lot of money，I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers.I was in a huge rush，thinking of my upcoming evening.I did not want to be late for this date.
We were in Boston，a place not always known for small conversation between strangers.The woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me.She smiled.It was a nice smile—warm and reassuring—and I returned her_gift by smiling back.
“Must be a special lady, whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers，”she said.
“Yes，she's special，”I said，and then to my embarrassment，the words kept coming out.“It's only our second date，but somehow I am just having the feeling she's‘the one.’”jokingly，I added，“The only problem is that I can't figure out why she'd want to date a guy like me.”
“Well，I think she's very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her.”the woman said.“My husband used to bring me flowers every week—even when times were tough and we didn't have much money.Those were incredible days；he was very romantic and—of course—I miss him since he's passed away.”
I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries.There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her.I touched her on the shoulder and said，“You were right，you know.These flowers are indeed for a very special lady.”I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation.
It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just purchased.“You have a wonderful evening.”I said.I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers.
I remember being slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story.A couple of years later，when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me，she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her—that was the night that I won her heart.
64．Why was the writer in a hurry that day
A．He was to meet his girlfriend.

第二节　(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
__71__ From 18－25, according to I．Q. scores；but you are wiser and more experienced with increasing age.
You are smartest in your 20's; around 30, your memory begins to go down, particularly your ability to perform mathematical computations. __72__ Your vocabulary at the age of 45, for example, is three times as great as when you graduated from college. At 60, your brain possesses almost four times as much information as it did at the age of 21.
__73__ You have the best physical sense of yourself from 15 to 24; the best professional sense from 40 to 49.
Before the age of 24, we believe that our happiest years are yet to come；over 30，we believe that they are behind us. A National Health survey agrees: after the age of 30, we become more realistic and do not view happiness as a goal in itself. If we maintain our health, achieve professional and emotional goals, happiness, we feel, will follow.
__74__ Generally between 30 and 39，but the peak(顶峰) varies with different professions.
Mosart wrote a symphony (交响曲) and four sonatas by the age of 8, and Mendelssohn composed his best known work A Midsummer Night's Dream, at 17, but most of the great music was written by men between 33 and 39.
Though the peak in most fields comes early, most Nobel Prize winners did their top research in their late 20's and 30's—creative people continue to produce work with high quality throughout their lives __75__
A. When are you most creative (创造性的)
B. When are you happiest
C. When are you smartest
D. Do you know what I．Q. refers to
E. But your I．Q. for other tasks goes up.
F. Creative people usually produce a lot of works.
G. For the “well conditioned mind”， there is no upper limit.

Last Sunday I saw a worst storm in years. It came sudden and went on for over three hours. After lunch, I went into my room to have a rest. The air was hot，but all was quiet. Then a strong wind started to blow into my room. Pieces of paper on my desk flew high into the air and some flew out the open window. As I ran out to catch it, big drop of rain began to fall. When I come back into my house, it was raining more harder and harder. Then I heard a loud crashing sound from the back of the house. When I ran out of my room to find out that had happened，a big tree had fallen down and broke the top of the backroom.

第二节　书面表达(共25分)
随着哥本哈根世界气候大会的召开，越来越多的人关注气候变化。请写一篇120～150词的英语短文，简要描述二氧化碳(carbon dioxide)过量排放的危害(风暴、干旱、全球变暖……)，并提出具体建议，号召人们选择低碳生活(low carbon life)方式。
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
[答案]
One possible version：
With the levels of carbon dioxide in the air increasing rapidly, the global temperature continues going up, which would be a catastrophe. The rise of temperature will result in a higher sea level, more severe storms, floods, droughts, and even the extinction of species.
The UN conference in Copenhagen focused on future actions on climate change, which has attracted more and more people's attention. It is realized that leading a low carbon life is necessary. Turn off the lights, the TV, the computer and so on if we are not using them. Recycle cans, bottles, plastic bags and newspaper if possible. Walk or ride a bike if we can.
Together, individuals can make a difference. If all of us think about the problems and lead an environmentally friendly life，we will have a better and cleaner planet in the future.2012届高考二轮总复习测试卷（七）英语试卷

(·福建厦门质检)A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile(敌意的)person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.
Mirrors have a very particular __36__. They reflect the image in front of them. Just as a __37__ mirror works as the vehicle to reflection, __38__ do all of the people in our lives.
When we see something beautiful such as a flower garden, that garden __39__ a reflection. When we love someone，it's a(n) __40__ of loving ourselves. We have often heard things like “I love how I am when I'm with that person”. That simply __41__ into “I'm able to love me when I love that other person”. __42__， when we meet someone new, we feel as though we “click”. Sometimes it's as if we've __43__ each other for a long time. That feeling can come from __44__ similarities.
Just as the “mirror” or other people can be a positive reflection，it is more likely that we'll __45__ it when it has a negative connotation(内涵). __46__，it's easy to remember the times when we have met someone we're not particularly __47__ about. We may have some criticism(批评)in our mind about the __48__. This is especially true when we get to know someone with whom we would rather spend __49__ time.
Often, when we __50__ qualities in other people, ironically(讽刺地), it's usually the mirror that's __51__ to us.
At times we meet someone __52__ and feel distant disconnected, or disgusted. __53__ we don't want to believe it，and it's not easy or __54__ to look further，it can be a great learning lesson to __55__ what part of the person is being reflected in you. It's simply just another way to create more self awareness.
36．A.target　 　 B．style

(·浙江高考)Below is a housing guide for students going to London.
University accommodation(住所)offices
Many university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords(房东)．Others also provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organizations.The advantage of using your university accommodation office is that you can get some support if you have a problem.The disadvantage is that they are unlikely to have enough registered landlords to house all their students.
Property papers：Loot and Renting
Loot is an important source(来源)of information about private housing for co renters.The offers are from private landlords，agencies and individuals looking for other co renters.They also have a website：www..The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains.The disadvantage is that there is no quality control over the offers.
Renting is another useful paper.The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies.Their website is at www.renting.co.uk.
Accommodation agencies
The majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation agencies.The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have access to a large number of accommodations.A good agent will listen to your requirement and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation.The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters.
Noticeboards
Around the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be posted.These will either be from landlords or from students.Some universities will also have online noticeboards where students can advertise to other students.Advertisements from students can be an excellent way to find accommodation.However，advertisements from landlords can be problematic.
Word of mouth
Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth.It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students.However，don't suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily going to be better than that found through any other source.
Family
Faced with the very high rents charged in London，some students and their parents will consider buying as an alternative.In some cases this might be a good choice.
56．What is the advantage of using Loot
A．It has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting.
B．It gives you personal information about other co renters.
C．Their website is designed mainly for students.
D．There are some good bargains.
[解析]细节理解题。根据文章中第二部分第四句“The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains.”可知应该选择D项。bargain“廉价物”，在这里指Loot提供一些租价低廉的房屋的信息。
[答案]D
57．A good agent can help you________.
A．know more people
B．find cheap accommodation
C．get the right accommodation quickly
D．get free information about most accommodations
[解析]细节理解题。根据文章中第三部分第三句“A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation.”可知应该选择C项，意思是“能够帮助你快速地找到合适的住宿的地方。”
[答案]C
58．The information passed on by word of mouth is important because________.
A．it is better than that found through any other source
B．it helps you find some of the best housing never advertised
C．the final year students always offer better information

59．For students going to London for the first time，which of the following provides the most reliable information
A．University accommodation offices.

C．Noticeboards.
D．Family.
[解析]推理判断题。根据文章第一部分第一句“Many university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords.”可知，许多的大学住宿机构都有自己的房东清单。由此推断大学的住宿机构能提供最可靠的信息。
[答案]A
B
Compared to adults, children seem to be moving constantly. So it's no surprise that most parents who are quizzed about their child's physical activity level describe their children as fairly active. But a new study of nearly 2000 British school children suggests that many parents overestimate the amount of physical activity their children are really getting.
The researchers equipped 1892 British school children, ages 9 and 10, with accelerometers that measure all physical activity during a given time period. The research，known as the Speedy study collected the exercise data from children at 92 schools in Norfolk，England, between April and July 2007.
A child was regarded inactive if he or she recorded less than an hour a day of physical activity. Although the majority of children studied were getting enough physical activity, a_sizable_minority_of_children_were_not. Overall,39 percent of girls and 18 percent of boys studied were getting less than an hour of physical activity each day.
But if you asked the parents of the inactive children to describe their child's activity level，the vast majority—80 percent—described their children as fairly or very physically active, according to the findings published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. Interestingly, the children themselves had more awareness about their lack of physical activity. Overall, 40 percent of children overestimated their physical activity.
But it wasn't the parents of overweight children who were most likely to guess wrong about physical activity levels. The parents who were most out of touch about their child's physical fitness were more likely to have children who were slim. Parents of girls were also more likely to overestimate physical activity. The researchers noted that parents should be educated about the importance of physical activity for children even if the child is not overweight.
“Parents of slim children appear to assume that their children are adequately active.”the study authors reported. “Increasing awareness regarding health benefits of physical activity beyond weight control might help have a correct idea of physical activity levels and encourage behavior change.”
60．According to the Speedy study，what kind of children can be judged physically inactive
A. Slim children.
B. Children with less than an hour a day of physical activity.
C. Overweight children.
D. Children out of touch with their parents for a long time.
[解析]细节理解题。根据第三段第一句话可知，如果孩子一天的运动时间少于1个小时，那么他就被认为是不好动的。
[答案]B
61．What does the writer probably mean by saying “a sizable minority of children were not”in Paragraph 3
A. The amount of children's physical activity is far from the writer's satisfaction.
B. Only a small number of children were not getting enough physical activity.
C. A small number of children didn't overestimate their physical activity.
D. The minority of children were not studied at all.
[解析]句意理解题。根据第三段第二句可知，本句不是要强调大部分孩子得到了足够的锻练，而是要让人们注意到还有一些孩子的运动时间没有达到标准，由此可以看出作者对孩子的运动量并不满意。
[答案]A
62．The passage is intended to________.
A. encourage parents to fairly judge their children's physical activity levels
B. persuade parents to keep an eye on their children's weight
C. urge children to wear accelerometers during exercise
D. advise parents to keep in touch with their children
[解析]推理判断题。根据文章的第一段最后一句可知许多父母过高地估计了孩子的运动量，因此本文的写作目的就是要求父母能够客观地判断孩子的运动量。
[答案]A
C
(·上海春招)A 69 year old grandmother with no teeth of her own has eventually won a long legal battle to stop a Scottish regional council(政务委员会) adding fluoride(氟化物)chemical to the public water supply.
In a case which has already cost the taxpayer ￡1,000,000，the judge ruled that it was beyond the powers of the local authority to add the chemical to the water in order to reduce tooth decay.
At her home last night Mrs Catherine McColl said, “I did what I thought was right and I would do it again，too.”She claimed that adding fluoride to public drinking water made it into some kind of dirty soup.“Where would it stop？”she asked.“They might come up with the idea of putting drugs into the water to keep the unemployed quiet.”It was a horrible poison，she said，that could have caused all kinds of diseases，including cancer.
The judge, however, concluded that there was no evidence to suggest that the inclusion of fluoride in the water supply would have had a negative effect on public health. Although the chemical might serve as an efficient and convenient means of achieving a beneficial effect on the dental health of consumers generally, he said, and its use was greatly favoured by the dental profession, he could also understand why some members of the public, Mrs McColl in particular，might be passionately opposed to the action of the Water Authority in assuming the right to improve public well being without consulting the public in the first case. The Authority's legal duty to provide“wholesome” water for public consumption which was both safe and pleasant to drink，did not，he said，extend to their right to safeguard public health by chemical means.
63. Mrs McColl felt so strongly about the fluoride issue that she eventually ________.
A. took the local council to court
B. had a physical fight with the judge
C. urged the authority to apologize
D. spent much money removing the chemical
[解析]细节理解题。从文章第一段中“has eventually won a long legal battle”以及下文的case，judge等可以知道，Mrs McColl把地方政务委员会告上了法庭，所以答案是A项。
[答案]A
64．According to what the judge said in the passage, adding fluoride to the water________.
A. was not proved to be harmful
B. was the duty of the local authority
C. was strongly opposed by dentists
D. was surely beneficial to the public
[解析]细节理解题。从文章第四段中“concluded that there was no evidence to suggest that”可以看出“没有证据表明添加氟化物会对公众的健康产生负面影响”，所以A项正确。
[答案]A
65．The word“wholesome”in the last paragraph can be best replaced by the word“________”．
A. clear B. poisonless
C. healthy D. recycled
[解析]词义猜测题。从上下文尤其是最后一句可知，法官判定地方政务委员会败诉是因为其责任只是为公众提供健康的饮用水，而无权将职责扩展到通过添加化学物质来保障公众健康。“wholesome”应与下文的“safe and pleasant”照应，故C项正确。
[答案]C
66．From the passage we learn that people like Mrs McColl are more concerned about________.
A. the improvement of their personal health
B. the problem of unemployment in their community
C. the chemicals to be used for the improvement of water quality
D. their right to be informed of the authorities' decisions
[解析]推理判断题。从文章最后一段中“might be passionately opposed to the action of the Water Authority in assuming the right to improve public well being without consulting the public in the first case”可以知道“苏格兰人很关注他们的知情权”。因此答案为D项。
[答案]D
D
(·陕西)Brave Frenchman Found Half way Around the World
(NEW YORK)A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two year old girl in Manhattan said he didn't think twice before diving into the freezing East River.
Tuesday's Daily News said 29 year old Julien Duret from France is the man who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday.
He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Seaport museum.He handed the girl to her father，David Anderson，who had dived in after him.
“I didn't think at all，”Duret told the Daily News.“It happened very fast.I reacted very fast.”
Duret，an engineer on vacation，was walking with his girlfriend along the pier(码头)when he saw something falling into the water.He thought it was a doll，but realized it was a child when he approached the river.In an instant，he took off his coat and jumped into the water.
When he reached the girl，she appeared lifeless，he said.Fortunately，when she was out of the water，she opened her eyes.
Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera.An ambulance came later for her，said Duret，who was handed dry clothes from onlookers.Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.
The rescue happened on the day before he left for France.Duret said he didn't realize his tale of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning.
“I don't really think I'm a hero，”said Duret.“Anyone would do the same thing.”
67．Why was Duret in New York
A．To meet his girlfriend.
B．To work as an engineer.
C．To spend his holiday.
D．To visit the Andersons.
[解析]细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“Duret，an engineer on vacation，was walking with his girlfriend along the pier when he saw something falling into the water.”可知，他是在度假中遇到的这件事。所以C项符合题意。
[答案]C
68．What did Duret do shortly after the ambulance came
A．He was interviewed by a newspaper.
B．He asked his girlfriend for his dry clothes.
C．He went to the hospital in the ambulance.
D．He disappeared from the spot quickly.
[解析]细节理解题。根据文章的第二段“Tuesday's Daily News said 29 year old Julien Duret from France is the man who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday.”可知，在救起这个小女孩之后，他就迅速离开了。
[答案]D
69．Who dived after Duret into the river to save the little girl
A．David Anderson. B．A passer by.
C．His girlfriend. D．A taxi driver.
[解析]细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句话“He handed the girl to her father，David Anderson，who had dived in after him.”可知，小女孩的父亲David Anderson在Julien Duret跳下水之后也跳了下去。故只有A项符合题意。
[答案]A
70．When was Duret most probably found to be the very hero
A．The day when he was leaving for home.
B．A couple of days after the girl was rescued.
C．The first day when he was in New York.
D．The same day when he was interviewed.
[解析]推理判断题。根据文章的倒数第二段的最后一句话“Duret said he didn't realize his tale of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning.”可推断出，Duret是在离开的那天早上才被发现是真正的英雄。故B项正确。
[答案]B

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the fact of friendship for granted, we often don't clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, __71___ .
Moreover, a great many relationships come under the general term “friendship”. In all cases, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for their interest in each other change greatly.
At the beginning, much depends on how people meet, and on good first impressions. As we get to know people, __72___ . Although these factors are not of the greatest importance, it is more difficult to have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background.
Then, __73___ . Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than ordinary friends. Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness, and it is because they may give the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty making friends. A friendly look with a wrong facial expression can turn into an unfriendly stare, and nervousness may be wrongly understood as unfriendliness.
Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have the same ideas and beliefs, the same opinions and interests. The more closely involved people become, the more they depend on each other. And __74___ . Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each other, to put up with annoying habits, and to accept differences in opinions.
In contrast with marriage, __75___ . But the support and understanding that results from shared experiences and affections does seem to create a close and lasting relationship.
A. we are usually friends with only a few
B. many factors can affect friendship and relationship
C. people want to do friends favors and hate to let them down
D. argument and discussion can improve personal relationships
E. we consider things like age, race, looks, economic and social status, etc.

Recently, people are having an argument on whether a subway should be built or not in the city. Opinions vary from person to person.__________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
[答案]
One possible version：
Recently,_people__are__having__an__argument__on_whether_a_subway_should_be_built_or_not_in_the_city._Opinions_vary_from_person_to_person.
Some people think it necessary to build a subway. For one thing, building a subway can help solve traffic problems and people will enjoy a more convenient life. For another，it provides a new means of transportation，which is environmentally friendly.
On the other hand, others hold the opposite opinion. From their point of view, the long process of construction is bound to influence the city's traffic. What's more，too much money will be spent building it, and it will take a long time to get the money back.
Weighing the pros and cons，I support the idea that a subway should be built because not only will the environment be protected but also more space will be saved.2012届高考二轮总复习测试卷（四）英语试卷

(2011·陕西宝鸡质检二)My husband is an engineer. Since we met，he has always been the rock in my life.I knew he had his feet __36__ planted on the ground，and it seemed that no matter what else went __37__，he would be the constant one.
Three years of romance and two years of marriage later, I began to feel __38__ of him because he never brought me flowers，he never __39__ me，and nothing had changed in our marriage.
After __40__， I finally told him I wanted to be __41__. He just sat there, speechless and didn't even know __42__ to say to make me stay. Finally，he spoke, “What can I do to change your __43__？”
“I'll stay if you have a good answer __44__ this question，”I replied coldly. “If I asked for a __45__ growing on a cliff, and getting it for me __46__ certain death，would you still do so？”
His face grew troubled. “Can I give you the answer tomorrow morning？” With that, my heart __47__. He couldn't even give me an answer __48__ away.
The next morning，I found he was __49__. However，I found a note under a warm glass of milk. My eyes __50__ misty(湿润)as I was reading it.
“Dear，I'll give you my __51__.

Every time you leave the house，you forget your keys. I need my legs to run __53__ and open the door for you.... that's why I cannot pick the flower for you...”

Just because someone doesn't love you __55__ you want him to, it doesn't mean that he doesn't love you heart and soul.
36．A.deeply　　 B．firmly　　
C．slightly　　 D．totally
[解析]考查副词辨析。此处是一种比喻用法，因为前边作者说丈夫是她生活中的靠山，“靠山”应该是脚很稳地踩在地面上，故用firmly“坚固地，牢固地”。deeply“深深地”，用来形容情感；slightly“轻微地”；totally“完全地”。
[答案]B
37．A.different B．crazy
C．exciting D．excited
[解析]根据后边的信息“他总是永恒不变的那一个”可知，前面应该是表达相反意义的句子，结合选项只有crazy符合语境。
[答案]B
38．A.liked B．tried
C．fond D．tired
[解析]从下文作者想离开可判断出，作者对丈夫的呆板和一成不变的婚后生活感到厌烦了。be tired of sb.“对某人感到厌烦的”。C项表示“喜欢”；A项从意义和语法上都不适合；B项是表示“知道的”。
[答案]D
39．A.frightened B．loved
C．surprised D．lost
[解析]从前面的“他从不给我送花”和后面的“我们婚姻生活中没有什么变化”可知，应用surprised“吃惊，惊喜”，表示“他从未让我惊喜”。
[答案]C
40．A.some time B．sometime
C．sometimes D．some times
[解析]过了一段时间之后，我终于告诉他我想离开。some time“一段时间”，是一个名词短语，可与介词搭配；sometime指在过去或将来的某个时候，sometimes表示“有的时候”，some times表示“几次”，三者皆为副词，不和介词连用。
[答案]A
41．A.in B．up
C．down D．out
[解析]out意为“离开某地”，此处表示离开这个家庭。
[答案]D
42．A.what B．which
C．how D．when
[解析]语意：他只是坐在那里，一声不吭，甚至不知道该说点什么使我留下来。what“什么”；which“哪一个”；how“怎么样”；when“什么时候”。在没有范围限定的情况下用what作say的宾语。
[答案]A
43．A.saying B．comment
C．opinion D．mind
[解析]句意：我能做点什么使你改变主意？change one's mind表示“改变某人的主意”。
[答案]D
44．A.to B．of
C．for D．about
[解析]表示“问题的答案”或“门上的钥匙”时，常用an answer to a question和a key to a door表达。
[答案]A
45．A.tree B．moon
C．flower D．butterfly
[解析]从后边作定语的现在分词短语growing on a cliff可知，只有树和花是长在悬崖峭壁上的，但依语境和常识可知，“我”要的肯定是花。倒数第三段中“I cannot pick the flower for you”也是线索提示。
[答案]C
46．A.meant B．resulted
C．caused D．led
[解析]句意：弄到它肯定意味着死亡。mean“意味着”；result常用于result in(导致)短语；cause“导致，引起”；lead常用于lead to结构中，意为“导致，引起”。
[答案]A
47．A.sank B．settled
C．rose D．worried
[解析]句意：听了那句话，我感到很失望。one's heart sinks相当于one feels disappointed，表示“某人感到失望”。
[答案]A
48．A.soon B．straight
C．slight D．quickly
[解析]句意：他甚至不能立即给我一个答复。表示“立即”或“马上”之意的词或短语有immediately，right away，straight away，at once等。
[答案]B
49．A.missed B．missing
C．losing D．lost
[解析]此处表示没有看见丈夫，用be missing“不见，没有在”较恰当。be lost也可表示“不见了”，但此时主语常为物；当人作主语时，be lost意为“迷路”。
[答案]B
50．A.fell B．changed
C．grew D．got
[解析]眼睛变得湿润是读便条时发生的，应该用表示逐渐变化意义的系动词grow。
[答案]C
51．A.descriptions B．causes
C．lists D．reasons
[解析]从便条上的内容来看，这是丈夫对前一天晚上的问题的回答和理由。reason表示做某事的理由；description是对人或事物进行的描述；cause表示某事发生的原因或根源；list表示名单或清单。
[答案]D
52．A.heart B．fingers
C．mind D．arms
[解析]根据前面的do typing for a long time可知，丈夫需要替妻子打字。按照常识，打字用到的应该是手指头。
[答案]B
53．A.home B．at home
C．out D．in
[解析]从前面的信息“每次你离开屋子时总会忘记带钥匙”可以推断出，丈夫需要跑回家为妻子开门。
[答案]A
54．A.steaming B．stretching
C．streaming D．spreading
[解析]句意：我泪流满面，打开了门。stream用作动词时既可表示小溪的流淌，也可表示泪水的流淌。steam是stream的形近词，表示“冒蒸汽”；stretch “延伸，伸展”；spread“传播，伸展”。
[答案]C
55．A.like it B．way
C．how D．the way
[解析]句意：只因为某人没有按你想要的方式去爱你，(但)这并不意味着他不全心全意地爱你。the way sb.does sth.表示“某人干某事的方式”，其中the way后省略了引导定语从句的关系词。
[答案]D
第三部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节　(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
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。
A
I was reading these intriguing stories behind a group of great logos in the world. Personally Nike is my favorite one—it's so simple. And I liked the stories behind them, which made me forget all other things. McDonald's, Apple, Mercedes Benz and Adidas own great logos as well，and they are among my very favorites.
Nike
In the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers. This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nike's logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $35，and was registered as a trademark in 1995.
McDonald's
The logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the archshaped signs on the side of the company's then walk up hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were combined together to form the M．The McDonald's name was added to the logo in 1968.
Apple
There are different stories behind Apple's logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne，and it described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didn't stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoff's “rainbow apple”，a rainbow colored silhouette(轮廓)of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbow colored apple was replaced by the onecolored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far.
Mercedes Benz
The Mercedes Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a simple description of a three pointed star that represents its rule of the land，the sea and the air. The company was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Marcedes is the name of Maybach's elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a combination with Benz，Cie. and DMG in 1926.
Adidas
The Adidas logo, which was created by the founder of the company Adi Dassler, represents mountains, pointing towards the challenges that are seen ahead and goals that can be achieved. The logo was used for the first time in 1967.
56．What does the author think of the stories of the great logos
A. They are boring.
B. They are out of date.
C. They are attractive.
D. They are practical.
[解析]细节理解题。由第一段中的intriguing stories和作者的话“我喜欢这些商标背后的故事，这些故事使我忘记了其他所有事情”判断选C项。这些商标背后的故事很有吸引力。
[答案]C
57．What does Nike's logo stand for
A. The goddess of victory.
B. The source of inspiration for soldiers.
C. The statue of the Greek goddess.
D. The wing of the Greek goddess.
[解析]细节理解题。从耐克的商标介绍可知，该商标代表的是希腊女神雕像上的翅膀。
[答案]D
58．We can learn that Apple's present logo is ________.
A. the religious story of Adam and Eve
B. a bitten apple with only one color
C. Newton's sitting under an apple tree
D. the rainbow colored bitten apple
[解析]推理判断题。题干询问的是苹果目前的商标是什么。从苹果商标部分的介绍可知，几经发展和变化，现在的苹果商标是被咬了一口的单色苹果。
[答案]B
59．Which of the following time orders describes the births of the great logos
A. Mercedes Benz—McDonald's—Nike—Apple
B. Nike—McDonald's—Apple—Mercedes Benz
C. McDonald's—Apple—Nike—Mercedes Benz
D. Nike—Mercedes Benz—McDonald's—Apple
[解析]细节理解题。从本文介绍的几个著名商品的图标诞生的顺序看，首先是奔驰(1909年)，然后是麦当劳(1962年)，耐克(1971年)，苹果公司第一个图标产生于1976年。因此选A项。
[答案]A
B
There are several advantages in planting trees：they firm the soil，soak(渗透) up extra water and take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. However，it now turns out that planting trees could add to global warming. We all know that tree roots do a great job of keeping soil firmly on the ground and out of the wind's power. The problem is that some of the dust clouds play an important part in soaking up carbon dioxide.
Huge dust storms blow out over the oceans from dry parts of North Africa and Central Asia. Tons of dust are lifted and left as a thin film over the ocean surface.
Dust from China is carried east and left in the Pacific Ocean. If a tree planting programme there is successful and the dust supply reduced, the net result may be that less carbon dioxide gets locked away in the ocean.
Andy，an environmental scientist has spent the past few years studying dust and says his work shows clearly the complexity of the system. For this reason the need is to focus on cutting carbon dioxide giving off rather than doing anything else.
Robert, an American scientist, has shown that when native grassland areas are invaded by trees, carbon is lost from the soil. “We are studying why the soil carbon disappears，but one theory is that trees do a lot more of their growing above ground compared to grass, so less carbon goes directly into the soil from trees.” said Robert.
In wet areas of the world, the gain from trees absorbing carbon dioxide above ground seems to be outweighed by the loss of carbon from the soil below ground.
Countries that plan to fight against global warming by planting trees may have to think again. Solutions to environmental problems are often more complex than they first appear，and understanding the Earth's climate is a very great challenge.
60．People usually hold the opinion that ________.
A. huge dust storms can destroy carbon dioxide
B. planting trees could reduce global warming
C. huge dust storms can destroy the oceans on the Earth
D. planting trees is the only way to control huge dust storms
[解析]推理判断题。从第一段的第二句“然而，现在证明植树可能会助长全球变暖”和最后一段第一句可推断出，人们通常所持的观点是“植树可能会减缓全球变暖”。
[答案]B
61．Andy, an environmental scientist, believes that________.
A. environmental problems are more complex than expected
B. trees shouldn't have been planted in dry places
C. dust plays a more important part than trees
D. carbon dioxide is harmful to everything
[解析]细节理解题。由第四段第一句中的“says his work shows clearly the complexity of the system”可知，这位环保专家认为环境问题比人们估计的要更复杂。
[答案]A
62．Robert's experiment proves that ________.
A. trees absorb more carbon than grass
B. carbon can turn grass into dust
C. less carbon can make trees grow faster
D. grassland areas should be covered by forests
[解析]细节理解题。根据第五段内容可知，这位美国科学家通过研究发现，当树侵占了草坪的地方时，碳元素就从土壤中消失，分析其原因得知，与草相比，树在成长的过程中需要大量的碳，所以从树木那里直接进入到土壤里的碳就比从草里进入到土壤里的要少，即树比草吸收的碳要多。
[答案]A
63．The best title for this passage is “________”．
A. The importance of planting trees
B. The dust clouds soak up carbon dioxide
C. Is it really useful to plant trees to reduce global warming
D. Why the soil carbon disappears
[解析]主旨大意题。全文通过实例证明植树可能会助长全球变暖，所以C项最能突出主题，其他三项只是文章内容的一个部分或某部分中的一个事实。
[答案]C
C
However important school life may be，we can't ignore the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore the great influence of parents can't be ignored or discounted by the teacher. They can become strong supports of the school or they can consciously or unconsciously prevent the school from accomplishing its aims.
Administrators have been aware of the need to keep_parents_apprised_of the newer methods used in schools. Many principals have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness program and developmental math.
Moreover，the classroom teacher can also play an important role in explaining to parents what they should do. The informal tea and many interviews carried on during the year，as well as new ways of reporting pupils' progress, can significantly aid the interchange of ideas between school and home.
Suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly interview, the teacher can help the parent change his method. He might be persuaded to let Junior participate in discussing the family budget，buying the food，using a measuring cup at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip and engage in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis.
If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making satisfactory progress in math and at the same time，enjoying the work.
Too often, however, teachers' conferences with parents are devoted to unimportant accounts of children's wrong doing, complaints about laziness and poor work habits，and suggestions for punishments and rewards at home.
What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher，as a professional advisor，plants ideas in parents' minds for the best use of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom. In this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters' competence.
64．The underlined phrase “keep parents apprised of” in Para.2 probably means to let parents ________.
A. judge B. know
C. design D. develop
[解析]词义猜测题。文章第一段告诉我们，对于老师来说，家长的作用不容忽视。再结合文章第二段中的“newer methods used in schools”“Many principals have conducted workshops explaining...”可以推断出keep parents apprised of在文中表示“让父母知道，通告父母”，故选B项。
[答案]B
65．What is the purpose of the schools' informal tea and interviews
A. To improve the relationship between teachers and parents.
B. To explain to parents the change of the school curriculum.
C. To report students' misdoings and suggestions for punishments.
D. To help develop good communication between school and home.
[解析]细节理解题。从第三段中的“...can significantly aid the interchange of ideas between school and home”可知，学校的非正式茶话会等活动能有效帮助学校和家庭之间交换意见，共同促进学生健康成长。所以D项为最佳选项。
[答案]D
66．Why does the author provide the example in Paragraph 4
A. To help parents know the importance of home activities.
B. To show how the teacher can guide in home training.
C. To prove parents are non professional advisors.
D. To advise parents to teach kids math at home.
[解析]推理判断题。第四段承接上文，举例说明在和家长的交流中，老师能够帮助家长改变一些想法和教育方式，据此选B项。
[答案]B
67．From the passage we learn that the author ________.
A. thinks teachers should do better as professionals
B. is worried about children's performance at home
C. is satisfied with the present state of school education
D. believes time spent out of the classroom has been wasted
[解析]推理判断题。从全文最后一段中的“What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher，as a professional advisor...”可知，作者认为老师作为专业的顾问，在教学中应该更专业、更出色。故选A项。
[答案]A
D
Dear Economist，
My newly wedded wife and I are deeply in love. There is, however, one issue that threatens the happiness of our marriage. I absolutely insist on shopping at Walmart. My wife, meanwhile, would rather avoid Walmart at all costs. I have recently tried to convince her that not only does Walmart offer the lowest prices known to man, but that the chain is also a force for good—lower prices mean better standards of living for all consumers, increased global trade means a tighterknit(紧密团结的) international community, and efficient operations translate into higher productivity growth for the economy. My wife complains about poor labour policies, the fact that Walmart squeezes suppliers, and that it puts local shops out of business.
Who is right Will our marriage survive
Brian Gee
Dear Brian，
I have to agree with you about Walmart. Jason Furman，then an economist at New York University, now an adviser to President Obama, famously argued in 2005 that Walmart was unwittingly (不知不觉地) a progressive success story.The chain's prices don't much affect me(I prefer Whole Foods)but Furman estimated that they benefited low and middle income Americans to the sum of around $250 billion a year.
Walmart does not pay much, so it may depress wages.Then again, it may increase wages by offering jobs to the otherwise—unemployed. Either way, the benefits of low prices to Walmart shoppers far outweigh any seemingly reasonable costs to Walmart employees. And while it is true that Walmart employees tend to be poor，the same is true of Walmart shoppers.
Armed with this information you can face your wife with confidence. You are sure to win the conversation. The divorce is likely to be more argued.
Economist
68. What concerned Brian Gee so much that he wrote the letter
A. His wife refuses to shop at Walmart.
B. They are faced with a divorce.
C. They can't afford the costs of shopping at Walmart.
D. They are in conflict about shopping at Walmart.
[解析]细节理解题。第一段第二句提到有一个问题影响到两人的美满婚姻，这正是他写信求助的原因。再结合下文中提到的矛盾冲突可知D项正确。
[答案]D
69．Brian Gee's wife tends to hold the opinion that________.
A. it is wrong for Walmart to depress its employees' wages
B. consumers' lives have improved thanks to Walmart
C. Walmart's business operation increased productivity in economy
D. Walmart's business increases global trade
[解析]细节理解题。根据第一封信中的“My wife complains about poor labour policies，the fact that Walmart squeezes suppliers”可知她认为沃尔玛公司降低员工的工资是错误的。另外，第二封信第二段第一句也是线索提示。
[答案]A
70．What can be inferred from the reply letter
A. Some employees accept the low pay to keep the job.
B. Walmart appeals to only poor consumers and poor employees.
C. Employees suffer from Walmart's low prices more than consumers.
D. Jason Furman, a New York University economist，spoke highly of Walmart.
[解析]推理判断题。结合第二封信第二段第二句以及最后一句的内容可以推断一些员工为了保住工作而接受低报酬。
[答案]A
第二节　(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Making Peace with Your Parents
As a teen，you're going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are expanding. __71__
Here is the challenge：Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers in that world. These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can't be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.
For instance，try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted or hungry. A good time to talk is when you're all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you'd better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation—for now. __72__ Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you're listening. __73__
Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each others' feelings can disagree without things getting ugly.
__74__ How do you build trust Trust comes by actually doing what you say you're going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule makers—they're interesting people who like to watch movies and go shopping—just like their teenagers!
What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky __75__ You can find supportive adults，such as a teacher or a coach，who can lend an ear.
Remember you can only change your own behavior. Your parents are the only ones who can change theirs.
A. It also gives them a chance to clear things up if you're not on the same page.
B. You can pick it up again when everyone's more relaxed.
C. And then you'll be able to accept what your parents say.
D. Faced with the challenge, children don't know what to do.
E. You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more independence if your parents believe in you.
F. And your desire to take control of your own life is growing.
G. You may consider seeking outside help

In_early_November,_2010,_our_city_witnessed_a_terrible_disaster_of_snowstorm._The_heavy_snow_happened_a_month_earlier_than_last_year，greatly_affecting_the_life_of_people.
Early in the morning，it was snowing heavily. As a result, trees along the streets fell down and houses were severely damaged. Many vehicles were trapped on the roads. Therefore, people had to walk to their destinations. Not only were some of the flights cancelled but also many trains were delayed. The city government called on all the citizens to take an active part in the activity of cleaning snow. Besides, all kinds of necessary measures were immediately taken to rescue the people trapped in the snowstorm to ensure that everything returned to normal as soon as possible.

(·安徽江南十校联考)We may all have had the embarrassing moment：Getting half way through a story only to realize that we've told this exact tale before to the same person. Why do we make such memory mistakes
According to the research published in Psychological Science, it may have to do with the way our brains process different types of memory.
Researchers Nigel Gopie, of the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto, and Colin Macleod, of the University of Waterloo, divided memory into two kinds. The first was source memory，or the ability to keep track of where information is coming from. The second was destination memory，or the ability to recall who we have given information to.
They found that source memory functions better than destination memory, in part because of the direction in which that information is travelling.
To study the differences between source memory and destination memory, the researchers did an experiment on 60 university students, according to a New York Times report. The students were asked to associate (联想) 50 random(随意的) facts with the faces of 50 famous people. Half of the students“told”each fact to one of the faces, reading it aloud when the celebrity's(名人的) picture appeared on a computer screen. The other half read each fact silently and saw a different celebrity picture afterward.
When later asked to recall which facts went with which faces, the students who were giving information out(destination memory)scored about 16 percent lower on memory performance compared with the students receiving information(source memory)．
The researchers concluded that out going information was less associated with its environmental context (背景)—that is，the person—than was incoming information.
This makes sense given what is known about attention. A person who is giving information, even little facts, will devote some mental resources to thinking about what is being said. Because our attention is limited，we give less attention to the person we are giving information to.
After a second experiment with another group of 40 students, the researchers concluded that self focus is another factor that undermines destination memory.
They asked half the students to continue giving out random information, while the other told things about themselves. This time around, those who were talking about themselves did 15 percent worse than those giving random information.
“When you start telling these personal facts compared with non self facts, suddenly destination memory goes down more, suggesting that it is the self focus component (成分) that's reducing the memory.”Gopie told Live Science.
60．The point of this article is to ________.
A. give advice on how to improve memory
B. say what causes the memory to worsen
C. explain why we repeat stories to those we've already told them to
D. discuss the differences between source memory and destination memory
[解析]主旨大意题。从文章第一段可知，作者用“讲故事所碰到的尴尬事”来引出话题——“为什么会犯这样的错误呢？”下文都围绕着这个问题展开，所以答案选C项。
[答案]C
61．What can we learn from the article
A. Source memory helps us remember who we have told the information to.
B. One's limited attention is one of the reasons why those reading aloud to the celebrity's pictures perform worse on the memory test.
C. Silent reading is a better way to remember information than reading aloud.
D. It tends to be more difficult for people to link incoming information with its environmental context than outgoing information.
[解析]推理判断题。从倒数第四段可知，人的注意力是有限的，我们很少关注那些我们给予信息的人。由此答案选B项。
[答案]B
62．The underlined word“undermines” probably means________.
A. weakens B. benefits
C. explains D. supports
[解析]词义猜测题。结合文章倒数第三段和最后一段中的reducing the memory可知，自我关注会“削弱”目的记忆。答案选A项。
[答案]A
63．What did the scientists conclude from the second experiment
A. Destination memory is weaker than source memory.
B. Focusing attention on oneself leads to relatively poor source memory performance.
C. Associating personal experience with information helps people memorize better.
D. Self focus is responsible for the reduction of destination memory.
[解析]细节理解题。由倒数第三段结合第62题解析可知D项正确。
[答案]D
C
(·福建龙岩质检一)China reported blistering growth for the last three months of 2009 ，raising expectations of interest rate increases and other measures to head_off inflation.
China has declared that it is recovering from the global economic crisis.
Ma Jiantang, head of the National Bureau of Statistics，said Thursday the country's economy grew by 10.7 percent in the last three months of 2009.
Ma says China has managed to quickly hold back what he described as “the sliding of the national economy”. He says China has become the first country，on the whole，to achieve economic recovery and stabilization.
According to previous estimates, Ma says China's gross domestic product for 2009 rose 8.7 percent，to nearly five trillion dollars.
This goes beyond the official growth rate target of eight percent. The government has long considered eight percent growth essential to create enough jobs for the country's more than one billion people.
At the same time, Ma says some problems and contradictions are natural.
Ma says the Chinese government will give more priority to restructuring economic and improving peoples' livelihood.
To reduce the effects of the global economic crisis that began in 2008 ，China loosened lending practices, cut interest rates and began massive spending programs. But the government wants to make sure those measures do not contribute to inflation, which can be politically sensitive in a country where hundreds of millions of people remain poor.
Beijing resident Ms Wang says she is worried. She says she thinks prices are rising really fast. She points to the price of cabbage, which has increased more than 10 times in the past year.
The head of the Chinese Banking Regulatory Commission, this week said the government will step up monitoring of banks and rein in lending to prevent speculative bubbles(投机泡沫) in real estate(房地产) and other assets.
The World Bank on Thursday released a report that predicts China's economy will grow by nine percent this year. This contrasts with forecasts of 2.5 percent growth rate for the United States and one percent growth for European economies in , because of weaknesses remaining from the global financial crisis.
64．What does the underlined phrase in the first paragraph mean
A. Prevent. B. Begin.
C. Continue. D. Reduce.
[解析]词义猜测题。从第一段“raising expectations of interest rate increases and other measures to head off inflation”可知，国家在采取措施控制通货膨胀，所以 head off解释为“防止，阻止”比较符合语境。
[答案]A
65．How many measures did China take to reduce the sliding of the national economy
A. 2. B. 3.
C. 4. D. 5.
[解析]细节理解题。从倒数第四段第一句话可知，为了应对经济危机，防止经济下滑，中国政府采取放宽借贷政策，降低利率，开始大规模投资三项重要措施，所以答案选B项。
[答案]B
66．The global economy in will ________.
A. increase more quickly than in 2009
B. recover immediately if proper measures are taken

(·辽宁高考)On May 23,1989，Stefania Follini came out from a cave at Carlsbad，New Mexico.She hadn't seen the sun for eighteen and a half weeks.Stefania was in a research program，and the scientists in the program were studying body rhythms(节奏)．In this experiment Stefania had spent 130 days in a cave,30 feet in depth.
During her time in the cave，Stefania had been completely alone except for two white mice.Her living place had been very comfortable，but there had been nothing to tell her the time.She'd had no clocks or watches，no television or radio.There had been no natural light and the temperature had always been kept at 21℃.
The results were very interesting.Stefania had been in the cave for over four months，but she thought she had been there for only two.Her body clock had changed.She hadn't kept to a 24 hour day，she had stayed awake for 20～25 hours and then had slept for 10 hours.She had eaten fewer meals and had lost 171 bs in weight as a result！She had also become rather depressed(抑郁)．
How had she spent her time in the cave？As part of the experiment she'd done some physical and mental tests.She'd recorded her daily activities and the results of the tests on a computer.This computer had been specially programmed for the project.Whenever she was free，she'd played cards，read books and listened to music.She'd also learned French from tapes.
The experiment showed that our body clocks are affected by light and temperature.For example，the pattern of day and night makes us wake up and go to sleep.However，people are affected in different ways.Some people wake up naturally at 5：00 am，but others don't start to wake up till 9：00 or 10：00 am.This affects the whole daily rhythm.As a result，the early risers are at their best in the late morning.The late risers, on the other hand，are tired during the day and only come to life in the afternoon or evening!
68．Stefania stayed in the cave for a long time because________.
A．she was asked to do research on mice
B．she wanted to experience loneliness
C．she was the subject of a study
D．she needed to record her life
[解析]细节理解题。根据第一段后两句话可知，Stefania参加了一个实验项目，她在30英尺深的洞穴里生活了130天；第三段介绍了实验的结果。由此可以看出Stefania是这项研究的实验对象。故选C项。
[答案]C
69．What is a cause for the change of Stefania's body clock
A．Eating fewer meals.
B．Having more hours of sleep.
C．Lacking physical exercise.
D．Getting no natural light.
[解析]细节理解题。最后一段首句说明，人体的生物钟受光和温度的影响；第二段末句说明在洞穴里没有自然光，温度保持在21℃。由此可推断答案为D项，Stefania身体生物钟的改变是由于接受不到自然光。
[答案]D
70．Where does the text probably come from
A．A novel. B．A news story.
C．A pet magazine. D．A travel guide.
[解析]推理判断题。从全文内容看，本文报道了1989年进行的一项研究实验，所以应该选自A news story，即新闻故事。
[答案]B

Dear editor，
I am a high school student. A few days before，one of my very good friend told me that he was going to stop the school. He said that he wanted to start his own business. I tried my best to get him change his mind, but failed. I know it is difficult of him to change his mind. He is not doing so good in his studies, yet I want to insist that I give it a try. The process is more important than the results. Now there are only 90 days leaving before the test. I am not sure that his decision is right or wrong. I needed your advice.

One possible version：
My_fellow_students，
As_head_of_the_group，I_would_like_to_report_to_you_on_the_event.
Last Friday，the Students' Union organized a clean up project in Zhongshan park, for the purpose of raising the environmental awareness of the public. At around 4 p．m., 35 students went to the park to pick up the litter.
Actually，we did a wonderful job. When we were collecting the litter, many people came to our help, showing considerable appreciation and support. But our work still left something to be desired. For one thing, since we started late in the afternoon, it was not long enough to attract enough people. For another, some people passed by because they even didn't know what we were doing. Otherwise, our project could have been much better and more effective.
Next time if we have similar activities, I think we should try to start earlier. And also, we can put up some posters to tell people what we are doing and call their attention to environmental protection.
Thank_you.
