9、项的标号涂黑。AThere was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to 16 things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest (寻求), 17 , to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in winter, the second in spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son

10、in fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to 18 what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and 19 . The second son contradictedit was covered with green buds and full of 20 . The third son 21 , saying it was laden with blossoms that smelled so s

11、weet and looked so beautiful. It was the most graceful thing he had 22 seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and 23 with fruit, full of life and fulfillment. The man then 24 to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but one season in the trees life

12、. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they arethe pleasure, joy, and love that come from that lifecan only be 25 at the end, when all the seasons are up. If you give up when its winter, you will 26 the hope of your spring, the beaut

20、f my high school graduation project, I volunteered at Saunders House nursing home. I choose this experience because it was something that I had never done before and I wanted to lend a helping hand. When I first came up with the idea of volunteering at a nursing home, I wanted to help out with activ

21、ities and meet with some of the residents (住客). At first it was challenging because I was extremely shy; however after getting to know the residents a little better, I started to feel more comfortable around them. My goal in volunteering was to bring a smile to the residents by doing different activ

22、ities from word games to playing chess. I feel as if I had accomplished that goal. At the nursing home, I did a lot of different activities with the residents ranging from Jeopardy, to Wheel of Fortune. One of my favorites was a word game where I would write a ten letter word on the board and the re

23、sidents would try to come up with as many smaller words as possible. I could tell that it was one of their favorite games because they always seemed to be so enthusiastic when they played. I also transported residents to and from their rooms when they needed help; and whenever it was a nice day out,

24、 I would take them outside to get some fresh air and relax. On Saturday mornings, I would deliver the newspaper to the residents and on Sundays, I assisted with morning church services.The most unforgettable part of this experience was when I had one on one conversations with the residents; it was i

25、ncredible how many great stories they had to tell. One of the first residents was Mr. Charles Bowman who is one hundred and three years old!36. The author volunteered at the nursing home because _. A. she was willing to help B. the residents needed her C. she was good with the old D. the old people

26、challenged her37. What helped the author get over the challenge? A. The determination to do the voluntary work. B. Communicating with the residents. C. The residents smiling faces. D. The sense of achievements.38. The author felt it _ to do the activities with the residents. A. enjoyableB. upsetC. u

27、ncomfortableD. challenging39. The author wrote the passage in order to _. A. persuade readers to care more about the old B. encourage readers to do voluntary work C. describe a social problem D. share an experienceBMore and more pupils are giving teachers presents, but the practice only creates inse

28、curity in parents and staff.Ive certainly noticed some pupils being feverishly overgenerous of late. Last year, I received not one bottle of wine but four for helping a disaffected pupil through his GCSEs. By and large, my colleagues report the gifts differing along gender lines. Gentlemen get ties,

29、 mugs, booze and, if theyre really lucky, tickets to football matches. The ladies are often presented with flowers, jewels, chocolates and so on.When my son was at private school, I noticed there was a real competitiveness between the students about giving presents to teachers, with expensive basket

30、s from fancy stores and huge bouquets being handed out on the last days of term. Since my wife and I only let my son give thank-you cards, it was clear we were not “classy”. Now he is at an inner-city primary, weve noticed that this kind of nonsense seems to have more or less disappeared. For one th

31、ing, there isnt that kind of money floating around but there isnt that kind of competitive culture either.Personally, I think gifts to teachers should be banned beyond the thank-you card: they cause many more problems than they solve, creating insecurity in both parents and staff. Perhaps the recess

32、ion and the lack of money in peoples pockets might be a good excuse for the government to issue some guidelines to schools that gifts shouldnt be accepted by teachers.The gifts that I really value are the cards which say a genuine thank you. I still keep them in a file at home.40. What can the autho

33、r most probably be? A. A teacher.B. A school nurse.C. A researcher. D. A gift shop owner.41. The underlined word “nonsense” in Paragraph 3 refers to the fact that _. A. the son only gives thank-you cards to teachers B. the author and his wife are not classy C. the son goes to an inner-city primary D

34、. the students give gifts to teachers42. To solve the problem, the author thinks its a good way to _. A. forbid the students to give any gifts to teachers B. create insecurity by giving thank-you cards C. make people have less money in pockets D. issue some guidelines by the government43. Which of t

35、he following can be the best title? A. Dont Forget to Give Gifts to Your Teachers B. Presents Wont Make Pupils Teachers Pets C. Learn the Competitive Culture of Gifts D. Refuse Presents from Your StudentsCOn warm summer days with little or no wind, the air temperature in cities can be up to ten degr

36、ees higher than that of the surrounding countryside. This is a phenomenon commonly referred to as the “urban heat island” effect.This phenomenon happens when pavement, buildings, and other infrastructure (基础设施) replace natural land cover. Large amounts of paved and dark colored surfacessuch as roofs

37、, roads, and parking lotsabsorb, rather than reflect, the suns heat, causing surface temperatures and overall ambient (周围的) air temperature to rise. Unlike soil, paved areas contribute to runoff, which means that as paved areas increase, the amount of water available for evaporation (蒸发) decreases.

38、Moreover, urban areas have fewer trees and less natural vegetation which help to control the heat by providing shade and blocking solar radiation. The surfaces of leaves also provide water for evaporation which cools the air, further worsening the heat island effect.In particular, during summer, mor

39、e energy is required to cool the insides of building and for refrigeration, thereby creating additional heat output. This in turn leads to higher ambient air temperatures, which can also significantly increase the formation of urban smog in an area, degrading local air quality. Such a situation may

40、directly affect public health with individuals more likely to suffer from heat exhaustion and the effects of asthma (哮喘).44. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means _. A. Due to dark colored roads, urban areas are becoming hotter each year B. Dark colored surfaces reflect the suns heat, causing air

41、 temperatures to rise C. Because urban surfaces absorb heat, air and surface temperatures increase D. Rising ambient air temperatures lead to urban surfaces absorbing more heat45. Which of the following is not a cause of the urban heat island effect? A. The lack of trees B. The demand for refrigerat

42、ion C. The blocking of solar radiation D. The construction of infrastructure.46. The underlined word “degrading” most probably means _. A. ignoringB. improvingC. highlightingD. worsening47. The passage is mainly developed by _. A. giving typical examples B. following the time order C. presenting the

43、 effect and analyzing the cause D. analyzing a problem and seeking the solutionDThe U.S. governments push to decrease the nations output of greenhouse gases by increasing the fuel efficiency of the cars Americans drive is arousing again an emotional argument: Does driving a small, fuel-efficient car

44、 make you more likely to die on the road?Engineers and statistical analysts can point to data that suggest more-efficient cars dont necessarily put motorists at greater overall risk. But most of us care less about the “overall” risk than we do about ourselves. Driving a big Chevrolet Tahoe SUV makes

45、 many of us believe we are safer than we would be in a smaller car even if statistical measures across a large population of vehicles and all kinds of car accidents suggest the advantage of safety isnt quite as wide as SUV owners believe.The Obama government has put the fuel-efficiency and safety qu

46、estion back on the front burner by calling for new-vehicle fuel economy to rise to an average of 35 miles per gallon (加仑) by 2020 from about 25 mpg today. That goal could move higher if the government decides to adopt Californias requirement to cut vehicle greenhouse-gas giving off, which would resu

47、lt in stricter mileage standards.Those moves, and the effects of last summers gas-price shock, are driving auto makers to offer cars such as the Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit and Daimler AGs Smart For Two which get the kind of mileage today that law says should be the average in a decade. Beyond that, aut

48、o makers will launch a wide range of new compact (紧凑的) vehicles, and decrease production of large, body-on-frame SUVs.Thats leading to new concerns about “green safety”, a term for managing the balance between reducing vehicle size for efficiency and adding safety and protection features that tend t

49、o make vehicles heavier and less efficient. Undoubtedly, further work has to be done before Americans make the choice.48. The U.S. government requires to improve the fuel efficiency in order to _.A. push Americans to drive smaller carsB. reduce the output of greenhouse gasesC. drive auto makers to p

50、roduce fewer SUVsC. cause Americans to make an argument49. According to Paragraph 2, engineers and analysts idea _. A. fails to relieve people of their worry about safetyB. persuades people to purchase smaller cars instead of SUVsC. is based on research and therefore persuasive enough D. makes peopl

51、e think of their safety as well as others50. About the Obama governments new moves, the auto makers are _ and averageAmericans are _. A. uncertain; positiveB. doubtful; uncertain C. supportive; positiveD. positive; uncertain51. The best title for the text should be _.A. New Law Reduces Greenhouse Ga

52、ses OutputB. Can Small Cars Overcome Accident Fears?C. New Compact Cars Gets Popular in the U.S.D. Do We Have to Follow the Government?EEveryone has some opinion about history, no matter how ill-informed. Walking through a parking lot in a university in Miami, I noticed a bumper sticker (车尾贴纸) that

53、said, “Ruin a Liberals (自由派) DayRecite Historical Fact!” But Marwick thinks this sort of opinion is just fine; it is unavoidable that we all feel a sense of ownership of history.History never stands still, as Marwick says at the beginning of The Nature of History, “The shape and content of history,

54、too, vary according to the methods and materials available to different generations.” Marwicks goal is to explain, in plain language, the changes in the way history is done up to the present; one method is to connect history with advances in the physical sciences. Marwick examines a number of case s

55、tudies toward the end of the book. He ends the book with a refreshing collection of aphorisms (格言) about history. History truly belongs to each and every man and we all belong to history; with the proper education, history can be made more accessible to everyone.Marwick relates how inventions and th

56、e physical sciences have driven historical changes. Dropping a ball in a vacuum will reveal the same properties (性质) each time the experiment is conducted, providing the conditions are the same. But historians obviously do not have the luxury of reproducing such conditions; historians view the past

57、through the present which depends on invention and science. By looking at the changing nature of history, Marwick feels the study progressing. Although Marwick suspects some people would accuse a historian of creating job security with the endless views of the past, he insists it is imperative based

58、 on the philosophy, science, and new materials of the age. History, according to Marwick, must be for everyone and not remain locked behind the walls of academia.52. The author mentions the bumper sticker in order to _. A. show his own opinion about history B. introduce the readers to Marwick C. exp

59、lain the freedom of understanding history D. make the readers know about the argument between historians53. Which of the following best describes the statement “History never stands still”? A. Marwick explains the changes in the way history is done up to the present. B. Marwick connects history with

60、 advances in the physical sciences. C. He ends the book with a refreshing collection of aphorisms about history. D. The shape and content of history vary according to the methods and materials available.54. In paragraph 3, Marwick gives the example of dropping a ball in a vacuum to prove _. A. the c

61、hangeable nature of history B. the difficulty of historical study C. changeable ways of historical study D. the difficulty of scientific study55. The text is intended to _. A. state a historians ideas B. argue against a historian C. attract readers to study history D. describe the story of a histori

66、to explain to you what military training is. We middle school students usually go to camps to take military training, which lasts about two weeks. We have to practise some simple military movements. In addition, we are taught to sing songs which are very encouraging. What impresses me most is the lo

67、ng march, which sometimes covers as far as ten kilometers. Military training is meant to teach us how to cooperate and act as a whole. Meanwhile, good qualities such as selflessness, dedication and perseverance can be cultivated and fear conquered. In short, military training leaves me a deep impression and influences me profoundly, which is far beyond my imagination.
