第一部分任務(wù)型閱讀(共10小題;每小題1分,滿分10分)
請認真閱讀下列短文,并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后表格中的空格中填入最適當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。每空格1個單詞。
Homework is a great way for kids to develop independent, lifelong learning skills, so here are some general homework tips for parents:
● Make sure your child has a quiet, well-lit place to do homework.
Avoid having your child do homework with the television on or in places with other distractions, such as people coming and going.
● Make sure the materials your child needs, such as some paper, pencils and a dictionary, are available.
Ask your child if special materials will be needed for some projects and get them in advance.
● Help your child with time management.
Establish a set time each day for doing homework. Don’t let your child leave homework until just before bedtime. Think about using a weekend morning or afternoon for working on big projects, especially if the project involves getting together with classmates.
● Be positive about homework.
Tell your child how important school is. The attitude you express about homework will be the attitude your child acquires.
● When your child asks for help, provide guidance, not answers.
Giving answers means your child will not learn the material. Too much help teaches your child that when the going gets rough, someone will do the work for him or her.
Cooperation with the teacher. It shows your child that the school and home are a team. Follow the directions given by the teacher.
● Reward progress in homework.
If your child has been successful in homework completion and is working hard, celebrate that success with a special event (e.g. pizza, a walk, a trip to the park) to reinforce the positive effort.

第四部分書面表達(共兩節(jié),滿分45分)
第一節(jié)閱讀表達(共5小題;每小題3分,滿分15分)
閱讀下面的短文,并根據(jù)文章后的要求答題。(請注意問題后的詞數(shù)要求)
A new study has found that a fat cell gene may reduce the risk of colon cancer in some people.The study provldes what scientists say is the first evidence of a genetic link between a fat cell gene and colon cancer.The research could lead to better tests for the disease as well as measures to help prevent it.
Current evidence suggests a relationship between obesity,insulin resistance and colon cancer risk.The scientists say what they have found now is an area of a gene that is connected with the cancer risk.They say this area is most probably not the cause of the disease,but they think it is where the connection comes from.
The gene is involved in the formation of a hormone called adiponectin.Some people have higher levels of this hormone in their blood,____________.Higher levels have been
linked with lower rates of obesity and insulin resistance.And lower levels have been linked with higher rates.
The Journal of thM American Medical Association published the new findings last week.BorisPasche from the Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham led the research.
Colon cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths. Every year it kills almost six hundred eighty thousand people around the world.And doctors find more than one million new cases.The disease is highly treatable if disovered early.
The research involved two studies with a total of about one thousand five hundred people.The lager of the two studies involved Nes Yorkers of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry.Coln cancer is more common in Jews of eastern European ancestry than in the general population.The other study invdVed people of different ethnicities from Chicago,Illinois.
Currently,in the United States,the general advice is for colonoscopy tests(結(jié)腸檢查)for colon cancer to begin at the age of fifty. A colonoscopy can find and remove growths before they become cancerous. But the test is invasive and can be uncomfortable.
A study last month in the New England Journal of Medicine expressde support for a test called a virtual colonoscopy.It uses X-ray and computer technology to search for growths,but cannot remove them.There are still some questions about the effectiveness of a virtual colonoscopy compared to a traditional one .But doctors hope it might appeal to people who would otherwise not be tested at all。

第II卷(共45分)
第四部分 書面表達(共兩節(jié),滿分45分)
第一節(jié) 閱讀表達(共5小題;每小題3分,滿分15分)
閱讀下面的短文,并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題(請注意問題后的字數(shù)要求)。
[1] My daughter did an experiment for me two summers ago. She applied to job openings she’d found on a couple of big online job boards.    She mailed the applications and waited. And waited. After sending out 100 resumes(履歷表), specially addressed to each organization’s human resources(HR) manager, fewer than five HR departments took the time to reply, or acknowledged receipt.
[2] What happened?
[3] Maybe in the thirty seconds or so of attention that her resume received, each HR person made a snap decision. It seemed that 95 of them were unimpressioned.
[4] Or, maybe, out of the 300 other resumes HR had received that morning, they had already scheduled a requisite(必要的) number of interviews. Or, maybe HR simply forwarded her resume to the hiring manager who was supposed to call her for an interview.
[5] Or, maybe they thought her resume was fairly generic(一般的) and they didn’t have time to figure out if she might be a good fit, with the necessary skills, attitudes, and the desire to do the job.
[6] Most likely, the real reason why she didn’t get an interview was the last one. HR didn’t have time to figure out how she would work in their company.
[7] This happens all the time. I think most job seekers make the serious mistake of thinking that all they need to do is tell the HR department what they did in the past.
[8] That might be OK for some hiring managers, but most want to know the answer to one question: How can this applicant help us right now? If your resume does not answer that question, or sufficiently tell a story about how you may be able to help, you won’t have a shot at the job in this market.
[9] Before you can answer that question, however, you need to do some research on the company. Find out everything you can about the company, including the departments, the people, the products, markets, and the plans for the future.
[10] Information is power, and it is available quite easily. Don’t expect HR to figure out how you might fit into their organization. You _________ instead. This is the surest way to get the interview.
76.What’s the main idea of this passage?(within 20 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
77.Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?
You should tell the HR what you can do for them in your resume and then you may be able to find a job.
____________________________________________________________________________
78. Fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper words.(within 8 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
79.List two of the reasons why most HR managers even didn’t give the girl a reply.
(each within 10 words)
①__________________________________________________________________________
②__________________________________________________________________________
80.Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 7 into Chinese.
____________________________________________________________________________

In 1945 there were 17 universities in Britain; by 1967 there were 45.A period of very rapid expansion took place in the middle sixties when ten new institutes were granted university status by Royal Charter.These modern universities do not in many ways resemble their older counterparts.Much more emphasis is placed on advanced studies in science and technology and the newer social science disciplines than on the arts and humanities.For the most part of the buildings the students live and work in are severely functional and there are the hum and bustle of continuous activities.The quiet gardens and enclosed quadrangles of Oxford and Cambridge belong to another world.This will certainly happen, for the universities like everything else must change and adapt themselves to meet the needs and demands of a new age.
In recent years there has been a very rapid increase in the number of young people (especially girls) seeking higher education.Between 1962 and 1975, the number of students in higher education more than doubled from 222,400 to 497,000.Part of this increase is accounted for by the creation of thirty “Polytechnics” which offer a wide range of courses leading to recognized qualifications.
For those who missed the opportunities for higher education at the age of eighteen or so, a major innovation in the academic world now provides a second chance.The Open University was found in 1971; it offers tuition to degree standards to anyone who chooses to entry.The courses are taught through radio, television programs, Internet and by correspondence with Open University tutors.By now there are over 100,000 students enrolled for Open University and there are several thousand people who are the proud holders of a B.A degree from the Open University.
68.The underlined word “counterparts” in the first paragraph has the closest meaning with “______.”
A.enemies                      B.leaders                         C.similarities                           D.strangers
69.Who can go to the Open Universities in Britain?
A.The British young people only.
B.Anyone who missed the chance to go to college.
C.Girls who missed the chance to enter a college.
D.Those who are interested in science and technology.
70.How can a student get taught in the Open University?
A.Study in the open air of Oxford and Cambridge Universities.
B.Through the modern communication methods.
C.By self-study with the help of polytechnics.
D.By attending to the top ten institutes in Britain.
71.Which of the following might serve as the best title of the above passage?
A.Life in the Open Universities.                        B.Free Degrees in Open Universities.
C.A Way Out, the Open Universities.    D.Open University, Past and Future.

科目:高中英語 來源:不詳 題型:閱讀理解


Last Sunday I made a visit to some new neighbors down the block. No specific purpose in mind, just an opportunity to sit at the kitchen table, have some tea and chat. As I did so, it occurred to me how rare the Sunday visit has become.
When I was a kid in the New Jersey of the 1960s, Sunday visits were routine. Most stores were closed, almost nobody worked, and the highways, as a result, were not the desperate steeplechases(障礙賽跑) they have become today. My family normally traveled eight city blocks to the home of my grandmother—the same house my father was raised in, where adults would sit on the front porch and chat while we children played hide-and-seek.
The Sunday visit was something to desire strongly. It was the repetition to church, our reward for an hour of devotion, an opportunity to take advantage of the fact that Dad was not at work, we were not in school, and there were no chores that couldn’t wait until Monday. Sunday was, indeed, different from all the other days of the week, because everyone seemed to be on the same schedule, which means that there was one day when everyone seemed to have time for everybody else.
Sunday as a day of rest is, or was, so deeply rooted in the culture that it’s surprising to consider that, in a short span of time, it has almost entirely lost this association. In my childhood, it was assumed that everyone would either be home or visiting someone else’s home on Sunday. But now the question is, “What do you plan to DO this Sunday?” The answer can range from going to the mall to participating in a road race to jetting to Montreal for lunch. If one were to respond, “I’m making a Sunday visit to family,” such an answer would feel sepia-toned, an echo from another era.
I suppose I should be grateful to live in Maine, a state of small towns, abundant land and tight relationships. Even though folks work as hard here as they do anywhere else, the state’s powerfully rural cast(特質(zhì))still harbors at least remnants of the ethic of yesterday’s America, where people had to depend on one another in the face of economic vagaries(反復(fù)無常的情況)and a challenging environment.
63.The writer’s general impression of the Sunday in the past was a day when _______.
A. everyone was paying a visit to some relative far away
B. everyone seemed to be free and could have some leisure
C. Dad was not at work while Mom was busy cleaning the house
D. nearly every adult would go to church and children were not at school
64.In the fourth paragraph, the writer compares the response “I’m making a Sunday visit to family” to an echo from another era because _______.
A. people nowadays prefer staying at home on Sunday
B. such answers are rarely heard in our modern society
C. people in the city dislike being disturbed on Sunday
D. visiting someone on Sunday might take a lot of time
65.From the last paragraph we may infer that _______.
A. people in Maine suffer more from economic depression and the changed environment
B. people in Maine has abandoned their tradition and lived an absolute new life
C. land in Maine is short, thus the relationship between people is tense
D. people in Maine always help each other when they are in need
66.Which word we may use to describe the writer’s attitude towards the Sunday today?
A. Unsatisfied.          B. Anxious.          C. Treasured.          D. Teased.
