Instead bot

26、h men opened bookshops on opposite sides of Coleford High Street. It was hard to make money from books, which made the competition between them worse. Now with only one bookshop in town, business was better for George. But sometimes he sat in his narrow, old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window

27、, thinking about his former rival (竞争对手).Perhaps he missed him? George was very interested in old dictionaries. Hed recently found a collector in Australia who was selling a rare first edition. When the parcel arrived, the book was in perfect condition and George was delighted. But while he was havi

28、ng lunch, George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in. He was astonishedthe smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable!

When you hear a person

32、s name，repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial. Ask the other person to recite and repeat. You can let other people help you remember their names. After youve been introduced to

33、 someone，ask that person to spell the name mad pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort youre making to learn their names. Admit you dont know. Admitting that you cant remember someones name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say

34、. “Im working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”Use associations. Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example，you could make a mental note: Vicki Cheng - tall, black hair. To reinforce youre your associations

35、, write them on a small card as soon as possible. Limit the number of new names you learn at one time. When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their na

36、mes. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later. Go early. Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. Thats fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being in

37、troduced to othersan automatic review for you. 59. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?A. They will be delighted. B. They will be moved. C. They will be annoyed. D.

How to recite and repeat names.

39、B. Importance of attending parties.C. How to make use of associations. D. Tips on an important social skill. (C)I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of languagethe way it can evoke（唤起） an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the t

40、ool of my trade. And I use them allall the Englishes I grew up with.Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, Ive been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But feel embarrassed to say th

41、at. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. Ive heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, includin

42、g peoples perceptions（认识）of the limited English speaker.I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mothers “limited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is ,because she expre

43、ssed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her

44、.I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I wont get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her inter

45、nal（内在的） language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.63. By saying “Language is the tool of

46、 my trade”, the author means that _.A. she is a writer by profession B. she is fascinated by languagesC. she works as a translatorD. she uses English in foreign trade 64. The author used to think of her mothers English as _.A. impolite B imperfect C. amusing D. practical65. The author gradually real

47、izes her mothers English is _.A. rich in meaning B. in the old style C. easy to translate D. well structured66. What is the passage mainly about?A. The authors misunderstanding of “limited” English.B. The limitation of the authors perception of her mother.C. The changes of the authors attitude to he

48、r mothers English.D. The authors experiences of using broken English.(D) They were going to Fort Lauderdale three boys and three girls and when they boarded the bus, they were carrying sandwiches and wine in paper bags, dreaming of golden beaches and sea tides as the gray, cold spring of Now York we

49、nt behind them.As the bus passed through New Jersey, they began to notice Vingo. He sat in front of them, completely in silence.Deep into the night, outside Washington, the bus pulled into Howard Johnsons, and everybody got off except Vingo. The young people began to wonder about him. When they went

50、 back to the bus, one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself. “Want some wine?” she said. He smiled and took a swig from the bottle. He thanked her and became silent again. After a while, she went back to the others, and Vingo nodded in sleep.In the morning, they awoke outside another Ho

51、ward Johnsons, and this time Vingo went in. The girl insisted that he join them. He ordered black coffee and some cookies as the young people talked about sleeping on beaches. When they returned to the bus, the girl sat with Vingo again, and after a while, slowly and painfully, he began to tell his

52、story. He had been in prison in New York for the past four years, and now he was going home.“Are you married?”“I dont know.”“You dont know?” she said.“Well, when I was in prison I wrote to my wife,” he said, “I told her that I was going to be away for a long time, and that if she couldnt stand it, i

53、f the kids kept asking questions, and if it hurt her too much, well, she could jus forget me. Id understand. Get a new man, I said shes a wonderful woman. I told her she didnt have to write me. And she didnt. Not for three and a half years.”“And youre going home now, not knowing?”“Yeah. Well, last w

54、eek, when I was sure the parole (假释) was coming through, I wrote her again. We used to live in Brunswick, just before Jacksonville, and theres a big oak (橡树) just as you come into town.

56、ick, and the young people took over window seats on the right side, waiting for the approach of the great oak. Vingo stopped looking, tightening his face, as if protecting himself against still another disappointment.Then Brunswick was ten miles, and then five. Then, suddenly, all of the young peopl

57、e were up out of their seats, shouting and crying.Vingo sat there astonished, looking at the oak.

A new theory suggests that medicine could be bad for your health, which should at least come as

61、 good news to people who cannot afford to buy expensive medicine. This new theory argues that healing is at our fingertips: we can be healthy by doing Yoga on a regular basis.Supporters of medical treatment argue that medicine should be trusted since it is effective and scientifically proven. They s

62、ay that there is no need for spiritual methods such as Yoga. These waste our time, something which is quite precious in our material world. There is medicine that can kill our pain, x-rays that show us our bones or MRI that scans our brain for tumors (肿瘤).We must admit that these methods are very ef

63、fective in the examples that they provide. However, there are some “everyday complaints” such as back pains, headaches, insomnia, which are treated currently with medicine. When you have a headache, you take an Aspirin; when you cannot sleep, you take Xanax without thinking of the side effects of th

64、ese. When you use these pills for a long period, you become addicted to them; you cannot sleep without them. We pay huge amounts of money and become addicted instead of getting better. How about a safer and more economical way of healing? When doing Yoga, you do not need anything except your energy

65、so it is very economical. Its popularity has spread particularly throughout America and Western Europe. In quantum (量子) physics, energy is recognized as the fundamental substance (物质) which the universe consists of. Yoga depends on the energy within our bodies. It is a simple and effective way of re

66、storing the energy flow. There are no side effects and it is scientifically explained. Opponents of alternative healing methods also claim that serious illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and cancer cannot be treated without drugs. They think so because these patients spend the rest of their lives in the hos

67、pital taking medicine. How can Yoga make these people healthy again? It is very unfortunate that these patients have to live in the hospital losing their hair because of chemotherapy (化疗), losing weight because of the side effects of the medicine they take. Actually, it is common knowledge that exce

68、pt for when the cancer is recognized at an early stage, drugs also cannot treat AIDS or cancer. Most of the medicines these patients use are to ease their pain and their sufferings. Instead of drugs which are expensive and have many side effects, you can use your energy to overcome the hardships of

69、life, find an emotional balance, leave the stress of everyday life and let go of the everyday worries. We should definitely start learning Yoga and avoid illnesses before it is too late. Title: Health and Healing at Your Fingertips(71) to a new theory A new theory argues that doing Yoga (72) can kee

70、p people healthy while medicine might do (73) to peoples health. Support of medical treatment People should (74) medicine as it is very useful for killing pain. Medicine is effective and scientifically proven while Yuga is a kind of spiritual method and doing Yoga is only a (75) of time. Illnesses (

Most of the medicines that patients with some (78) diseases use are to ease their pain and their sufferings but can not cure them. Yoga has no side effects and also there is

72、 a (79) explanation. It can restore the energy flow in peoples bodies, which can (80) our emotions, control thoughts, overcome the hardships of life, leave the stress of everyday life and let go of the everyday worries.第六部分：书面表达（满分25分）阅读下面短文，然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。“When should I begin to develop good h

Cultivating a good habit can not only shape our character, increase our inner beauty but also influence those people around you. Therefore,

79、 I think it is of great significance to form a good habit. As for me, I benefit a lot from my good habits like getting up early to speak English aloud, reviewing and previewing lessons before going to bed every day. In the past, I didnt dare to speak English before others because of my poor pronunci

80、ation and I also did badly in my English tests. Thanks to my good habits, I have been making progress in my English study. Now I am proud of my speaking and writing in English. Then how can we form a good habit? First of all, you should be determined to fight against your laziness. Once you make up

81、your mind to do something, never give up easily. Then, you have to be confident, believing that you can become a better person. Last but not least, keep pushing yourself. It may take a long period for you to form a good habit but remember it is perseverance that makes you successful!- 11 - 版权所有高考资源网
