16、50分）第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）AThe singer, Mick Jagger, of the Rolling Stones sings a song that tells people they cant always get what they want but if we try sometimes we can get what we need. The past years in my life my parents have told me this saying

17、many times. Ive always complained about the quote(引语). Although over time I have told myself to learn from it.This year my girlfriend flew off to college in West Palm, Florida. This has been a killer for me because I havent been able to see her and she is having a rough time in school. The last two

18、months have been hard but we are working through it. I have been trying to get my dad to buy me a plane ticket to go down there. My dad told me if I brought him some money he would help me pay for the ticket. I started to complain to him because I had no way of getting any money to give him. I spent

19、 several days and nights thinking of ways to earn money to go see my girlfriend. I finally came to the conclusion that I would get a job and work hard to earn some money to give to my dad. I applied to Safeway and I ended up getting the job.I have been working at Safeway for about a month now and wo

20、rk hard to earn money to go see my girlfriend. The other day my mom had surprised me and told me that she asked her boss if she could use their business miles(旅费) to buy me a ticket down to Florida for two weeks. I was very thankful and told her I would help pay for anything that I have to. The thou

21、ght of me working hard and getting a job showed my mom that I really cared and was trying my best to be a successful person. I believe that you cant always get what you want but if you try sometimes, you get what you need.41The authors parents often told him the saying quoted from the song because .

22、AHe liked to complain to them about his lifeBThey expected him to learn from the singerCHe always wanted to get everything he wantedDThey tried to educate him to do things for himself42What does the world “killer” underlined in the second paragraph refer to?ASomething that is quite troublesome.BSome

23、thing that is very difficult.CA person who kills purposely.DA person who treats women very badly.43What can we infer from the passage?AThe author was lazy and unwilling to work hard.BThe authors father was too mean to give him money.CThe authors actual action won support from his mother.DThe author

24、was unable to tear himself away from his girl friend.44By writing the passage, the author tries to show .Awe can do nothing without moneyBfathers are strict while mothers are kindCits hard for parents to bring up their childrenDwe should try to rely on ourselves for everythingBPisco is a city on the

25、 Peruvian coast, the home of Peruvian grape liquor(酒) Pisco has not only given its name to Perus national drink, but it is also the centre of its production.Pisco has its origins in the 16th-century Spanish conquests（征服） of Latin America and particularly Peru and Chile. There the settlers found fert

26、ile land suitable for growing grapes. These vineyards（葡萄园） were so successful that soon the settlers were exporting crops back to Europe.At first, grapes not suitable for making wines were distilled（蒸馏，提取） into a drink, and it soon became popular with sailors who began taking bottles with them back

27、to Europe. They named it after the town where it was bought, Pisco, which in turn had been used to name the round pot that was used to store the liquor.In the 19th century Pisco became a popular drink with the miners who flooded to San Francisco during the Gold Rush, and in the 1940s it again became

28、 a fashionable drink in New York and Hollywood. Production gradually spread from Peru to Chile. However, Pisco is also the topic of heated arguments between Peru and Chile, both of which claim to have invented it. They may fight bitterly over who first distilled the drink, but the rules and regulati

29、ons they have placed on its production have ensured that only top quality Pisco hits the liquor store shelves.Nowadays, Pisco is produced using both ancient and modern techniques and can be enjoyed in its pure form or used to prepare various cocktails, such as the well-known “Pisco Sour”. This is se

30、rved in the best restaurants in Latin America and throughout the world. It can also be mixed with other liqueurs, fruit juice or soft drinks. The main markets for Pisco are currently the United States, Chile, Costa Rica, Venezuela and Canada. 45It can be learned from the passage that Pisco refers to

31、 the following except .Aa cityBa sailorCa potDa drink46The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph implies .APeru and Chile has been fighting for the American market of PiscoBIt makes no difference who has invented Pisco as long as it is popularCBoth Peru and Chile have set strict production rule

32、s to produce a quality drinkDPisco is produced using both ancient and modern techniques from two countries47Whats the best title for this passage?AAn Introduction to PiscoBThe Production of PiscoCThe Origin of PiscoDA History Lesson of PiscoCOf all the problems facing modern astronomers, perhaps the

33、 most fascinating is: “Can intelligent(有智能的) life exist elsewhere?” Since the Earth is an unimportant planet moving round an unimportant star, it would be a pride on our part to suppose that we are the only intelligent beings in the universe. But to obtain proof is difficult.The main trouble is that

34、 our neighbor worlds, the bodies in the solar system appear to be unsuitable for advanced life forms. The Moon may be ruled out at once; it has hardly any atmosphere. Venus（金星） is little better; the surface temperature is extremely high and the atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide. Mars（火星） with a ve

35、ry thin atmosphere and a severe shortage of water, may well support simple plant life but there seems no hope of finding animals, while the attractive Martians of the story tellers have long since been given up.Of course this has not stopped the flow of bright ideas for communicating with the suppos

36、ed people on Mars. In the early nineteenth century the great mathematician Gauss suggested planting tree patterns in Siberia, so that the Martians would see them and replay suitably. Following up this idea, the Austrian scientist Karl Littrow proposed digging very wide ditches（沟） in the Sahara, tria

37、ngular in patterns, and then filling them with petrol or some substance so that, when lit, the ditches would present Martian observers with a “flaming triangle” which would show the existence here of intelligent minds. Even better were the plans of Charles Cross, a French writer of the 1870s, who wa

38、nted to build a large mirror to reflect the suns rays and concentrate them on the surface of Mars, thereby making a vast burning glass. By swinging the mirror around, Cross explained it would be practicable to write words in the Martian deserts simply by burning the sand. For many years he bombarded

39、 (鼓吹) the French government with literature about this plan and was very disappointed when no official interest was shown.48From the passage we can learn that the opinion of the writer is that .Apeople on the earth are almost certainly the only intelligent beings in the universe Bpeople on the earth

40、 are definitely the only intelligent beings in the universeCthere may be other intelligent beings in the universeDthere are other intelligent beings in the universe49Why is there unlikely any life on Venus?ABecause the weather is too cold.BBecause it is severely short of water.CBecause it has a very

41、 thin atmosphere.DBecause the surface temperature is too hot.50According to the passage, it seems that Mars .Amay have both vegetable and animal lifeBmay be inhabited by attractive Martians Cmay have some vegetable lifeDcan have no life at all51How did Gauss, the mathematician, want to establish con

42、tact with the Martians?ABy building a large mirror.BBy making patters with trees.CBy filling wide ditches with oil.DBy planting trees in triangular shape.52It can be learned from the last paragraph that Charles Cross felt .Adisappointed at the lack of official interest shown in his planBsurprised th

43、at the officials were interested in his suggestionCangry when the government paid little attention to his ideasDpleased when the government did take notice of his planDIn this modern world, activity and movement are the default modes（默认模式）,if not with our bodies then at least with our minds, with ou

44、r attention. We rush around all day, doing things, talking, emailing, sending and reading messages, clicking from browser tab （分页浏览器）to the next, one link to the next.We are always on, always connected, always thinking, always talking. There is no time for stillness and sitting in front of a crazy c

45、omputer all day, and then in front of the too active television, doesnt count as stillness.This comes at a cost: we lose that time for deep thinking, for observing and listening. We lose peace.And worse yet: all the rushing around is often agaist our will. I know, in our society action is all-import

46、ant inaction is seen as lazy and passive and unproductive. However, sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around crazily, all sound and fury, but get nothing done. Or you can get a lot done but nothing important. Or you can hurt things with your actions, make things w

47、orse than if youd stayed still.And when we are forced to be still because wee in line for something, or waiting at a doctor appointment, or on a bus or train, we often get impatient and need to find something to do. Some of us will have our mobile devices, others will have a notebook or folder with

48、things to do or read, others will move their bodies around. Being still isnt something were used to.Take a moment to think about how you spend your days at work, after work, getting ready for work, evenings and weekends. Are you constantly rushing around? Are you constantly reading and answering mes

49、sages, checking on the news and the latest stream of information? Are you always trying to Get Lots of Things Done, ticking off tasks from your list like a machine, rushing through your schedule?Is this how you want to spend your life?53Which of the following is true, according to the passage?ADoing

50、 nothing means happiness.BModern people are not used to being still.CPeople tend to pretend to be busy sometimes.DToo much action is always better than no action.54The underlined “this” in the third paragraph probably means .Abeing unable to keep stillBsitting before a computerCalways talking and th

51、inkingDwatching too much TV55Which of the following can be considered to be stillness according to the author?a. Thinking deeply about your life.b. Listening to the world around you.c. Reading about the news on the Internet.d. Looking through an interesting story book.e. Feeling your breath coming i

52、n and going out.Aa, b, dBa, b, eCa, c, e Db, c, d56What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?AHowe to avoid restlessness and why.BSome advantages of less movement.CHow to keep still and its good effect.DSome disadvantages of constant action.EApples iPod completely changed

53、the way people experience music. What will it do for television？The industry was intrigued by Wednesdays announcement that episodes of the hit ABC shows desperate Housewives and Lost will be available for Apples new video iPod. Episodes will go on sale for $1.99 on iTunes the day after they are broa

54、dcast. For ABC and its parent Walt Disney Co., the bet is that the new technology will bring in more new fans of the programs than will be taken away from watching them on traditional broadcast television. The networks affiliates（广播电视网的成员） were not told the deal was in the works before Wednesday, an

55、d theyre the people most likely to be concerned about its impact. Now the iPod will join digital video recorders and DVDs as another way of seeing television programs other than their regularly scheduled times on the ABC stations. Leon Long, chairman of ABCs affiliate board said if viewers have the

56、choice of watching desperate housewives on their wide-screen television with surround sound or a two-inch iPod screen, they will almost certainly watch it on TV. The iPod option will likely be attractive to people who missed an episode and want to keep up with the story, he said. He noted that two o

57、f the three series ABC is offering to iTunes - the new Night Stalker is the other - are serials（系列片） that require viewers to follow story lines that play out over several months. At the beginning, the downloads might also appeal to techies who want to try out the new product and might not necessaril

58、y be fans of the programs, which could bring these shows a new audience. As for the chance it will pull people away from his station, Long said, Its certainly a risk but I dont think its a great risk. 57From the passage, we can guess that ?Aepisode means a part of a TV show broadcast in several part

59、sBiTunes here refers to a musical store seen everywhereCiPod is a kind of media player only used for musicDABC is a small local American television company58Why are the networks affiliates most likely to be concerned about the deals effect?ABecause they are worried it may affect their TV programs.BB

60、ecause people ill have another way of watching TV.CBecause they want the iPod to join their organization.DBecause they didnt know what was happening.59According to Chairman Leon, we learn that .Aonly techies will show interest in the downloadsBits impossible for iPod to take away TV viewers Cthe TV

61、shows to be offered by ABC are very boring.Dmost people prefer to watch a play on TV rather than on iPod60What would be the best title for the passage.AA great risk for television station.BiPods will bring new fans to TV shows.CWill iPods change TV the way it changed music?DWhich is better, wide - s
