people from driving on certain days, maybe they could use other ways to get around.

W: I see your point, but I still think it is not legal to stop people from driving.

M: But if effective measures are not taken, drivers will have to waste too much time on the road.

Text 10

Americans celebrate Thanksgiving each year on the fourth Thursday in November. On that day, families get together, eat a big meal and express their thanks for their good things they own.

Since American Thanksgiving is on a Thursday, many people have joined the "Thankful Thursday" movement. On every Thursday throughout the year, they think about what they should be thankful for. These things aren't always necessarily "big" and usually can be called "small”. They can be as simple as talking with friends or getting a seat on a crowded bus.
   When we look for things to be thankful for, we focus on what we have. We don't think about what we don't have. We feel happier and more satisfied and may realize how truly blessed we are. Usually, we want more and don't realize how much we already have.
  Would you like to join the movement and have a Thankful Thursday every week for the month of November? You may surprise yourself with how much you have to be grateful for!

I was watching Sportscenter last night when one of those “human interest” stories came on and really caught my attention.

The story was about a 27-year-old professional Bass Fisherman named Clay Dyer. At first, they played it off as another guy trying to make the cut on the Bassmaster tour until they showed a picture of him. No legs, no arm, or rather, he has only 1/3 of his right arm. That’s all that he has.

It was such an amazing story that I was wondering what this guy could do. Growing up, he learned to play baseball and basketball, but found that fishing was his true calling. And he does it all on his own. He holds the fishing pole under his chin and uses that and his stub (殘端) arm to cast and reel in(收進) the fish. He uses his teeth to help him unhook fish. He ties his own hooks or lures on with his mouth, never really asking anyone else to help. Clay Dyer even knows how to swim. Since his body can’t produce enough sweat on its own, he has to take a dip in the lake every few hours to keep cool. He dives in just like anyone else, then somehow treads water(踩水) with his stub arm, then, with a little help, pulls himself back up into the boat and goes on fishing.

Clay Dyer has never looked for others’ pity, nor has he allowed his physical disabilities to prevent him from becoming a professional fisherman. His motto for life is "If I can, you can." He refuses to use special equipment, saying, "I want to do it with one hand the way they do it with two."

56. Why did the author become interested in Clay Dyer?

A. He assumed Dyer was living happily. 

B. He took great pity on this disabled man.

C. He wanted to know what Dyer could do.

D. He thought that Dyer could do nothing.

57. While fishing, Dyer dives into the lake from time to time _________.

A. to change the lures(魚餌)                 B. to do some exercise

C. to cast a fishing line                        D. to cool himself down

58. We learn from the last paragraph that _________.

A. Dyer aims to behave like a normal person

B. physical disabilities fail to destroy his faith

C. special equipment is allowed when fishing

D. it seems easy for Clay Dyer to go fishing

59. Which word best describes Clay Dyer’s personality?

A. Diligent.               B. Inspiring.           C. Faithful.           D. Stubborn.

October 15th 2008 is the first Global Handwashing Day, whose goal is to create a culture of hand washing with soap. Activities are planned in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap.

150,000 bars of soap were given to schools in Ethiopia, where the Education Ministry asked 1,000,000 schoolchildren to wash their hands for the event

Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at critical moments such as after using the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food.

The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germs(細菌). They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub it into all areas, including under the fingernails. Rub for at least 20 seconds.

Then, wash your hands well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth or wave them in the air.

They say soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing. Soap also helps to break up the grease(油脂) and dirt that hold most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell, which encourages people to wash again.

They say washing with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any vaccine or medicine. It could help reduce cases of diarrhea(腹瀉) by almost half. And it could reduce deaths from pneumonia(肺炎) and other breathing infections by one-fourth.

Diarrhea is the second leading cause of child deaths, killing more than 1,500,000 children a year. Pneumonia is the leading cause, killing about 2,000,000 children under five each year. Hand washing can also prevent the spread of other diseases.

When people get germs on their hands, they can infect themselves by touching their eyes, nose or mouth. Then they can infect others.

60. What does the underlined word “the event” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. 150,000 bars of soap were given to students.

B. Over twenty countries organized different activities.

C. October 15th 2008 becomes the Global Handwashing Day

D. Millions of people in the developing world wash their hands.

61. Which of the following situation doesn’t belong to a critical moment?

A. Before having dinner.

B. When cleaning a baby.

C. After using the toilet.

D. While washing the dishes

62. Why is it necessary for people to wash their hands with soap?

A. To prevent the spread of disease.

B. To remove disease-causing germs

C. To get rid of the dirt the hands hold.

D. To make their hands smell pleasant.

63. What can we learn from the text?

A. 1,500,000 children die of Pneumonia each year.

B. Soap plays an important role in removing germs.

C. Washing hands saves 1,00,000 children from Diarrhea.

D. Breathing infections cause the largest number of child death.

New software is able to analyze exactly how many hairs there are in a patch of skin and could help in testing the effectiveness of baldness(禿頭) treatments and depilatory(脫毛的) creams, say Australian researchers.

Researchers from CSIRO Mathematical and Information Sciences in Sydney report their findings in the November issue of the journal Skin Research and Technology.

The software, developed with a UK company, will make it easier for researchers developing hair removal creams to accurately assess how well they work, says Dr Pascal Vallotton.

"Up to now they were counting the number of hairs that survived after treatment by hand. That's hard work and it's difficult because you may count a hair twice or you may miss it." he said.

The software relies on images captured by a small flatbed scanner(掃描儀) pressed onto the skin. Using a mathematical algorithm(算法), the software then identifies and traces each individual hair based on an understanding of a hair's unique features, such as its relative straightness.

The software is able to distinguish between hairs and other features on the skin such as wounds or moles(痣).

"Our skin irregularities(不規(guī)則) make it difficult to say this is a hair or this is a mole," Dr Vallotton said.

Comparison between earlier and later images can also determine if hair is growing quickly or slowly, he says.

Unfortunately, to check the accuracy of the software, the researchers still had to adopt the old-fashioned method of counting hairs, helped by volunteers from neighboring labs who put their skins on the line for science.

"We had 12 volunteers, mostly from neighboring labs, and we acquired images of hair before and after treatment," Dr Vallotton said.

To ensure an accurate count, the individual hairs had to be marked off as they were counted, but after such a laborious process, the researchers were pleased to discover the software results were comparable to the manual(手工的) count.

Dr Vallotton says the software could also be useful in testing the effectiveness of balding(禿頭的) treatments and counting or tracing substances other than hairs, that are long and thin and otherwise difficult to image.

64. What do we know about the new software?

A. It has replaced human labor completely.           B. It is mainly used to detect hair problems.

C. It can be used for develop new medicine.          D. It can be used to test medical treatments.

65. What plays a key role in counting the number of hairs with the software?

A. A scanner.                                  B. A calculator. 

C. A hair's unique feature.                        D. A mathematical algorithm.

66. What did the 12 volunteers do in the experiment?

A. They counted the hairs by hand.                B. They divided the hairs into parts.

C. They controlled laborious process.              D. They offered their hair for experiment.

67. Which is the best title of the text?

A. Do you think it is possible to count hairs?        

B. New software makes counting hairs easy.

C. Australians find new treatments for baldness.   

D. New software is found in Britain and Australia.

How to Make the Most of Your Time   

Time management is important in our daily life. There never seems to be enough hours in the day to accomplish all you need to do. Here are some tips that might be of some help to you.
1. Set up a plan. Go for a week at a time, and prioritize the most important ones. Include things you want to accomplish. Focus mostly on the things that are important to you.

2. Control your stress. No matter what kind of pressure mounts on you, try to keep cool. Stressing out can lead to an early breakdown, which is definitely counter-productive when you have a list of things to do. It's easier to take a 10-minute break and cool off than work all week with built up stress.

3. Shut your door. When working under a schedule, perform your important tasks with your door shut to get them done. This will ensure a better quality time to get what needs to be done, done.

4. Focus on one thing at a time. Forget trying to multi-task! You will lose concentration, and it will take you longer to accomplish what you set out to do.
5. Just say "no." If you are constantly interrupted, and you really don't have the time to help out, just say "no." You're only one person, and you can't save the world by yourself!
6. Stop wasting time on the phone. While talking on the phone, keep your conversations short, and to the point and you'll waste much less time.
7. Be realistic. You can only do what you can do. Don't set out to accomplish the impossible. Do your best, but keep realistic expectations of yourself.

8. Relax. The most important thing is remember to take time to relax, and regroup. You need a break every now and then to keep working efficiently. Even if it's a 10-minute walk, get away from your list and get refreshed.
   As families today get busier and busier, it's important to your own mental health to keep things on track. Don't delay; get your life in order now.

68. What does the underlined word “prioritize” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. choose something by thinking carefully

B. recognize the difference between things

C. put many things in order of importance

D. get rid of something that is unwanted

69. We should avoid stressing out because ____________.

A. it may cause us to fail to work normally

B. it may limit the speed to get things done

C. we don’t have enough energy to keep working

D. we are supposed to have a break while working

70. Which statement would the author agree to?

A. Try multi-tasks, and we can get more done.

B. It is impolite to refuse to help others at work. 

C. Having breaks regularly may delay our tasks.

D. It is wise to be aware of what we can achieve.

71. By writing the text, the author would like to ___________.

A. ask readers to share their time management skills 

B. offer some advice on how to make full use of time

C. invite readers to discuss how to improve life quality

D. persuade readers to spend less time on daily routine

Top Eco Destinations in the World for 2008

Have you spent hours searching the web for an eco-friendly holiday that suits your budget or ideals? Then look no further because online travel planning resource, Professional Travel Guide, recently revealed(透露) their top choices for eco-travelers this year. Here are just some of their recommendations:

1. Africa: Madagascar

Home to a variety of animals found nowhere else on the planet, Madagascar is a must-go destination for anyone interested in the natural world. Lemurs(狐猴) and baobab trees account for just some of the unique flora(植物群) and fauna(動物群) entrapped on this wonderful island.

2. America: St John (US Virgin Islands)

Though it’s the smallest of the US Virgin Islands, St John has a remarkably varied landscape. Virgin Islands National Park makes up two-thirds of its landmass, where visitors can hike in deep ravines(山谷), over tropical mountains and across arid coastal areas. Don’t overlook the beaches and coral reefs ? it’s a Caribbean island.

3. Europe:Iceland

As one might expect from a country whose name is “ice”, Iceland’s landscape is rugged(崎嶇不平的)and harsh(粗糙的). Take a hike past lava fields, glaciers and waterfalls and marvel at the wildlife (puffins) and natural wonders (hot springs and geysers) akin to this barren landscape. Visit between fall and spring to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights.

72. We learn from the text that Professional Travel Guide is ____________.

A. a website offering travel information

北京先知文化中心2009屆高三模擬測試試題(一)

1―5: CABCA   6-10:BABCA     11-15:BACBA   16-20:CBCBA

21. B. 考查冠詞。第一空表示“一位國際明星”,應填an,第二空為固定詞組, achieve a balance between her career and family意為“把事業(yè)和家庭更好地結(jié)合起來” ,因此填a。

22 A. 考查名詞辨析。symbols“象征, 標志,符號”,Olympic symbols“奧林匹克標志”。signals“信號, 暗號”,marks“記號, 標記”,signs“標記, 符號,手勢, 姿勢, 信號”。

23. D. 考查謂語動詞的形式。句意為:專家稱,人衰老的速度因人而異。衰老通常受多因素的影響。空白處的動詞應與主句的動詞和從句的第二個謂語的動詞形式一致,即用一般現(xiàn)在時。因從句的主語是the rate,故謂語用varies。

24. C. 考查狀語從句連詞的選擇。句意為:當Ashley在百老匯首次公演的時候,她全家都來觀看。根據(jù)前后句邏輯關(guān)系,空白處應填When。

25. B. 考查情態(tài)動詞辨析。can 意為“會,能,能夠”,表示一種能力。例如:Even a small personal computer can store vast amounts of information. might“可能”,表示某事發(fā)生可能性很小,而shall和will不能表示能力。   

26. D. 考查代詞辨析。句意為:史上最早的一場選美比賽于一八八八年在比利時舉行。雖然世人對那次比賽了解不多,但這個構(gòu)想開始風行?瞻滋幪頻ittle表示人們對選美比賽不太了解,知道的內(nèi)容不多。

27. A. 考查名詞性從句.在 doubt 后面帶有同位語從句, 因含有“是否”之意, 故應填whether。

28. C. 考查謂語動詞。句意為:經(jīng)過七次成功的飛行之后,人們估計中國下次發(fā)射的宇宙飛船神州八號的飛行任務是為建立太空試驗室鋪平道路。句式be expected to do sth“人們預計某事將要發(fā)生”,

29. A. 考查名詞辨析。resource”資源”,natural resources指“自然資源” source“來源, 出處;河流的源頭, 發(fā)源地”。power“力量,權(quán)力, 勢力; 能力,體力”。energy“能量, 能源;精力,活力, 干勁”。

30. D. 考查非謂語動詞形式。在be reported/said/considered等句式中通常與動詞不定式連用。由于動詞不定式的動作早于謂語動詞發(fā)生,因此用動詞不定式的完成式,根據(jù)語意,那位探險家的飛機已經(jīng)被找到,故動詞不定式需用被動式。

31. B. 考查強調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu)。根據(jù)句意:正是在那起惡性事故發(fā)生之后不久,涉案人員就被逮捕和審訊。

32. C. 考查動詞詞組辨析。句意為:在我們動身外出宿營旅行時,一定確保我們貯存有大量的水和食物。空白處需填一詞組,表示“動身,出發(fā)”,只有setting out合乎語意。

33. D. 考查形容詞的常用句式。表示倍數(shù)的句式有:(1)倍數(shù)as+形容詞原級+as+比較對象:(2)倍數(shù)+形容詞的比較級+than +比較對象;(3)倍數(shù)+the+抽象名詞(size, length, height, depth…)+of+比較對象。選項中只有D為正確表達。

34. A. 考查謂語動詞。句中的時間狀語since 從句和副詞短語so far后表明謂語動詞應用現(xiàn)在完成時或現(xiàn)在完成進行時。而且,后句的謂語動詞用了現(xiàn)在完成時,也暗示前句的時態(tài)。

35. C. 考查交際用語。That suits me fine意為“這個時間對我非常合適。”

第五次參加奧運會的美國游泳健將戴拉?托雷斯是2008北京奧運會的最受矚目的奧運巨星之一。41歲的戴拉?托雷斯在參加悉尼奧運會之后,就從美國游泳隊退役。在復出后,她多次打破自己保持的游泳記錄,并獲得了參加北京奧運會的資格。在2008年的北京奧運會上,她與年輕的隊友們合作,在4×100接力賽和400米自由接力賽中收獲了兩枚銀牌。在個人50米自由泳賽中以0.01秒之差又獲一枚銀牌。在戴拉?托雷斯看來,年齡僅僅是一個數(shù)字而已,參加奧運會就能從中享受無窮的樂趣。

36. B. 下文多次談到她參加游泳比賽,因此她是年齡最大的游泳運動員(swimmer)。

37. A. outstanding“突出的; 杰出的,為人矚目的”。41歲的戴拉?托雷斯在2008年的北京奧運會獲得三枚銀牌的事跡為世人所關(guān)注。

38. C. 雖然她已經(jīng)41歲,但是她的競技狀態(tài)絕佳,頻頻打破自己保持的世界記錄,因此對她來說,年齡僅僅是一個數(shù)字而已。

39. D. 她要與比自己年輕20多歲的運動員進行比賽。

40. B. winning 表示“獲得(金牌),贏得(比賽)”。

41. C. 戴拉用自己的比賽成績證明了她絕非等閑之輩。prove“證明,證實”。

42. D. average與common和ordinary同義,表示“一般的,平凡的”。

43. A. While attending the University of Florida指在她上佛羅里達大學期間。attend表示“上(學),開(會)”。

44. B. compete in“參加”與take part in, participate in同義。

45. C. medals“獎牌”,下句的golds(金牌)為暗示。

46. D. competitive“競爭激烈的”。

47. A. after which 引導一個定語從句,which代替上句話的內(nèi)容。

48. C. 下文中談到她生孩子,因此這里是她退役后成了家。

49. B. set a new world record“創(chuàng)造新的世界記錄”。

50. D. 句意為:在女兒出生后三周,她就開始參加比賽并且出人意料地創(chuàng)造新的世界記錄。根據(jù)常情,女人剛剛產(chǎn)孩子后身體比較虛弱。因此她的突出成績顯得令人吃驚。

51. C. another表示“又一個,另一個”與 one more同義。

52. A. once again“又一次,再一次”。

53. C. secure“獲得,得到,弄到手”。

54. D. Apart from“除……之外(還有)”表示附加,下文顯然是講述戴拉?托雷斯在體育比賽之外的其它工作。

55. B. appear“出現(xiàn)”,指她出現(xiàn)在電臺的體育節(jié)目中擔任評論員。

56. C. 推理判斷題。前兩段告訴我們Clay Dyer的基本身體狀況。根據(jù)第三段的第一句話可知,作者被Clay Dyer的故事所吸引是因為他沒有手臂和腿腳,只有殘缺的1/3右臂,因此作者急于發(fā)現(xiàn)這樣一個肢體嚴重殘缺的人能做些什么呢?

57. D. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的倒數(shù)第二句可知,Clay Dyer時不時跳入水中是為了使自己涼快一下。

58. A. 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的一句"I want to do it with one hand the way they do it with two" 可知,Clay Dyer要像正常的垂釣者從事釣魚活動,而不愿意搞任何特殊。其它選項的陳述與文章的原意不符。

59. B. 推理判斷題。Inspiring“激勵的, 令人鼓舞的”。根據(jù)最后一段中的His motto for life is "If I can, you can"(“如果我能,你也能”。) 他活著是為了激勵他人。全文對Clay Dyer的描述使我們感受到Clay Dyer他雖然身體殘缺,卻用積極的心態(tài)生活著,因此他的例子對正常人也有激勵作用。

60 C. 判斷指代題。根據(jù)文章第一、二段的內(nèi)容,顯然“the event”指文章第一句:2008年10月15日成為第一個國際洗手日。后面的信息是關(guān)于第一個國際洗手日具體的信息。

61. D. 細節(jié)理解題。文章第三段指出在關(guān)鍵時刻要洗手,包括:觸摸食物前、便后、給嬰兒洗澡后等洗手。因此D洗刷餐具時可被排除。

62. B. 主旨大意題。第四段講述了用肥皂洗手的目的是清除雙手攜帶的致病細菌。

63. B. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段可判斷B的陳述正確。其它的陳述與原文的意思不符。

64. D. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章的第1至3段的內(nèi)容可知,這種新的軟件可用于數(shù)某塊皮膚上的毛發(fā)的數(shù)量、還可輔助檢驗治療禿頭和脫毛霜的效果。因此可判斷D的陳述符合文章原文的意思。

65. A. 推理判斷題。 根據(jù)第五段的內(nèi)容可知,這種新的軟件主要依賴掃描儀在皮膚上拍攝的圖像,根據(jù)頭發(fā)的特點使用數(shù)學計算方法識別頭發(fā),因此掃描儀的作用是至關(guān)重要的。

66. D. 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章的9至11段可知,為了驗證這種新軟件的準確性,研究者采用了過時的數(shù)頭發(fā)辦法。他們請到12名志愿者參與試驗,結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)軟件得到的結(jié)果可與人工數(shù)頭發(fā)的結(jié)果相似。第九段中的helped by volunteers from neighboring labs who put their skins on the line for science一句表明志愿者提供自己的頭發(fā)作為實驗品。

67. B. 主旨大意題。全文的屬于新聞報導,主要介紹澳大利亞和英國的研究者研制出的一種新的軟件,它可以分析出某人的頭發(fā)的數(shù)量。因此B項的陳述揭示出了文章的重要內(nèi)容。

68. C. 猜測詞義題。根據(jù)第一段的內(nèi)容可知,我們每次應安排一周的工作計劃,要優(yōu)先考慮重要的事情,包括想完成的事情。可見prioritize意為:“把…… 放在優(yōu)先次序, 優(yōu)先考慮”。

69. A. 細節(jié)理解題。第三段中的Stressing out can lead to an early breakdown, which is definitely counter-productive when you have a list of things to do一句表明壓力過大可導致人身體過早衰竭,不利于完成任務。

70. D. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第八段的內(nèi)容可知,我們應該面對現(xiàn)實,不要對自己有過高的期望值,這樣盡力做好力所能及的事情。

71. B. 主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章的內(nèi)容,特別是結(jié)合第一段和最后一段,可判斷作者的寫作目的是給讀者提議如何高效利用時間。

72. A. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章的第一段的第二句話推測,Professional Travel Guide可提供在線的旅游計劃資源,因此它應該是一家提供旅游咨訊的網(wǎng)站。

73. C. 在文章推薦的第二處旅游景點(美屬)維爾京群島中,第一句話Though it’s the smallest of the US Virgin Islands, St John has a remarkably varied landscape表明維爾京群島景色非常美麗,而且景色多變。接著具體描述了該群島具體有國家保護區(qū)、游客可看到山谷、熱帶山脈及海濱等。

74. D. 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三處景點“Europe:Iceland”介紹的最后一句話可知,在春秋季節(jié)去冰島旅游可以看到北極光。

75. B. 主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章的題目和內(nèi)容,可概括文章的寫作目的是提供關(guān)于生態(tài)旅游的信息,換言之,就是推薦一些生態(tài)旅游的去處。

76. kept→ keep  77. sport →sports 78. when→ while  79. were→ are 80. that → it  81. safely→ safe  82. Therefore→ However, 83. 去掉to 84. √   85.在live與happy間添一詞a
