四會中學2009屆高三英語第3周周練

一

 

One night recently , I was driving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour . A car approached from the opposite direction at about the same speed. As we passed each other , I caught the other driver’s eye for only a second . I wondered whether he might be thinking , as I was , how dependent we were on each other at that moment . I was relying on him not to fall asleep , not to be put off by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden end . Though we had never spoken a word to each other , he relied on me in just the same way .

Multiplied a million times over, I believe that is the way the world works . At some level , we all depend upon one another . Sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line . And sometimes it requires us to act cooperatively , with friends or even with strangers .

As technology shrinks our world , the need increases for cooperative action among nations . In 2003, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the SARS virus , which saved thousands of lives . The threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem, one requiring coordinated action by police and intelligence forces across the world . We must recognize that our fates (命運) are not ours alone to control .

In my own life , I’ve put great stock in personal responsibility . But , as the years have passed, I’ve also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others . so , while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a dark road , what we must learn is that the approaching light may not be a threat , but a shared moment of trust .

       A．only one experience                       B．many similar experiences

       C．a(chǎn) driver on a dark road                   D．many friends and strangers

      A．peoples’ fates can’t be controlled by themselves

Remember how great exercise was when you
were a little kid ? Back then , racing around the playground or skipping rope
for hours , you weren’t thinking fitness , you were thinking entertainment .
But in this age of high-tech home equipment and underused gym memberships , the
simple joy of jumping rope has been forgotten . Rediscovering it will give you
a total-body exercise you can find . 
Although considered an excellent form of
exercise , jumping rope has never gained widespread acceptance because of two
fundamental reasons . First ,most people recognize jumping rope as an excellent
form of cardiovascular (心血管的) exercise , but they also believe that it
is simply too difficult . In other words , they don’t think they’ll be able to
continue jumping for the near 20 minutes that it takes to achieve a beneficial
physical outcome . Second , many view it as somewhat boring and overly
repetitive ――not as something fun or enjoyable .
As a matter of fact , jumping rope can be
great fun if you find a proper way to practise it .Instead of doing the usual
two-foot bounce over and over again , people good at rope-jumping often change
their pattern every 10 or 20 jumps . A single bounce , a double ?bounce , a
skip , a knee-up , side swings , as well as a variety of other easy-to-learn
free-style rope-jumping .
Now researchers are learning that jumping
rope also prepares the brain for learning . It is an exercise allowing both
brain hemispheres to perform in parallel to each other . In short , jumping
rope can be a life-long activity requiring little equipment , time and space ,
yet leading to a much healthier life .
11．From the first paragraph we learn that          .
       A．jumping rope has faded from people’s memories 
       B．people now have more advanced equipment 
       C．racing around the playground was preferred 
       D．people now like to have exercise in a gym 
 
 
 
12．Rope jumping has not spread widely because          .
       A．it benefits the cardiovascular system   
B．it is too
hard for people to jump 
       C．it is considered boring and repetitive 
D．it
requires little equipment , time and space 
13．The first sentence in the 3rd paragraph
implies          .
       A．there is only one proper way to follow                           
B．the usual way should not be used 
       C．the easiest way is always the best  
D．there are
many ways to follow 
14．According to the researchers , jumping rope
         .
       A．only prepares the brain for learning                               
       B．is suitable for students only 
       C．helps both brain hemispheres work together                 
       D．can be dangerous for old people 
15．What is the author’s attitude towards rope
jumping ?
       A．He is arguing against it.                  B．He is in favour of it .
       C．He is sitting on the fence of it .       D．He is not clear about it .

Villagers in Koh Samui
yesterday criticized state authorities for their failure to stop illegal
deforestation on the resort island . The villagers in Bor Phut said they had
seen a group of men take chainsaws to a forest on Khao Duang Nok mountain near
Samui airport .They believe the men are falling trees to clear the land for a
construction project .
“We’ve heard the sound of
saws working,” said a villager . The mountain’s steep slope made it difficult
for the villagers to get into the forest to see the men at work . However ,
they said traces (痕跡) of deforestation were apparent . One villager said he
reported the matter to state authorities , asking them to take legal action ,
but to no avail . 
Khao Duang Nok has been
under the spotlight after the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry investigated
the matter .
A businessman was charged
with having occupied 49 rai of land with false land documents and many land
officials were arranged to leave the area during the investigation in
connection with land scandals (丑聞) in a project known as “The Peak”.
Koh Samui district chief
Decha Kangsanant has ordered a stop to any development activities on Khao Duang
Nok until the investigation results are released . However , the villagers said
nothing has been done to stop deforestation . Sunthorn Watcharakuldirok
,director of the Forestry Department , said the group of men entered the forest
two weeks ago after forestry officials returned from their inspection .
The fact that the men
remained fearless showed that it was the work of influential people who were
challenging state power , he said . His department is planning to arrest all
the men . 
16．The underlined phrase “to
no avail” in the 2nd paragraph means          .
       A．in vain             B．in astonishment                              C．without permission       D．without delay 
17．Villagers failed to see
the men cutting down the trees in a forest because          .
       A．the traces of deforestation were
apparent 
       B．the authorities forbade them to go
there 
       C．the mountain blocked their views 
       D．the road to the forest is not easy to
take 
18．         is a person not a place .
       A．Koh Samui       B．Bor Phut         C．Khao Duang Nok              D．Decha Kangsanant 
19．It is obvious that          .
       A．the activity of falling trees is
going on 
       B．the authorities have arrested some
criminals 
       C．the group observes the order of the
authorities 
       D．the activities on Khao Duang Nok have
stopped 
20．The news report mainly
tells us          .
       A．illegal activities were on the move 
       B．some officials involved in the land
scandals 
       C．the villagers blamed the authorities
for the illegal deforestation 
       D．the villagers were angry at the
businessman

Last night was the last game for my eight ? year ? old
son’t soccer team. It was the final quarter. The score was two to one, my son’s
team in the lead. Parents surrounded the playground, offering encouragement.
With less than ten seconds remaining, the ball
suddenly rolled in front of my son’s teammate, Mickey O’Donnel. With shouts of “Kick
it!” echoing (回響) across the playground, Mickey turned
around and gave it everything he had. All around me the crowd erupted (沸騰). O’Donnel had scored!
Then there was silence. Mickey had scored all right,
but in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie. For a moment there was a total
hush. You see, Mickey has Down’s syndrome (唐氏綜合癥) and for him there is no such thing as a wrong goal.
All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey. He had even been known
to hug the opposing players when they scored.
The silence was finally broken when Mickey, his face
filled with joy, hugged my son tightly and shouted, “I scored! I scored.
Everybody won! Everybody won!” For a moment I held my breath, not sure how my
son would react. I need not have worried. I watched, through tears, as my son
threw up his hand in the classic high ? five salute and started chanting, “Way
to go Mickey! Way to go Mickey!” Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey,
joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal.
Later that night, when my daughter asked who had won, I
smiled as I replied, “It was a tie. Everybody won.”
21．What was the score of the soccer match?
       A．Two to two, equal to both the teams.
       B．Three to one in Mickey’s team’s favor.
       C．Two to one in the opposite team’s favor.
       D．Everybody won because of Mickey’s goal.
22．The underlined word “hush” in paragraph 3
means          .
       A．cheer                B．cry                    C．laughter            D．silence
23．What did the author worry about when Mickey
scored and hugged his son?
       A．The result of the match would fail his son.
       B．His son would shout at Mickey for his goal.
       C．Mickey would again hug the opposing players.
       D．His son would understand Mickey’s wrong goal.
24．It can be inferred from the passage that          .
       A．both teams liked and respected Mickey
       B．both teams were thankful to Mickey for his goal
       C．Mickey didn’t mind though his goal was wrong
       D．Mickey was a kind ? hearted boy and hoped everybody
won
25．The purpose of the author in writing the
passage is           .
       A．to tell a joke to make readers laugh

       C．to show enjoying a game is more than winning a game
       D．to present his son’s fine qualities of understanding
others
