Windbreaks are green walls that are made of trees and other plants with many leaves.Farmers plant them in lines around their fields.Windbreaks stop the wind from blowing soil away.They also keep the wind from damaging crops.They are very important for growing grain, such as wheat and corn.For example,in some parts of.West Africa, studies have shown that grain harvests can be twenty percent higher in fields protected by windbreaks than those in fields without such protection.However,windbreaks seem to work best when they allow a little wind to pass through.If the wall of trees and plants stops wind completely,then strong air motions(运 动)will take place close to the ground.These motions cause the soil to lift up into the air where it will be blown away.For this reason,a windbreak is best if it has only sixty to eighty percent of the trees and plants needed to make a solid line.www.xiexiebang.com
An easy rule to remember is that windbreaks can protect areas up to ten times the height of the tallest trees in the windbreaks.There should be at least two lines in each windbreak.One line should be large trees.The second line,right next to it,can be shorter trees and other plants with leaves.Locally grown trees and plants are the best for windbreaks.Windbreaks not only protect land and crops from the wind,they can also provide wood products.These include wood for fuel(燃料)and longer pieces for making fences.36.Windbreaks work best if they________.()
A.block the wind totally B.allow some wind to go through
C.consist of two lines D.protect only a small area
37.If the tallest tree is 5 meters in the windbreak,at most it can protect an area of________.()
A.50 meters B.10 meters C.25 meters D.30 meters
38.What kind of trees are best for windbreaks?()4
A I.arge trees.B.Short trees.C.Leafy trees.D.Local trees.B

Notice
On Wednesday afternoon,volunteers will go to the nursing home and foreign students can also sign up.参考答案
一、语音知识
1.A sense中的s读[S],其他的读[z]。
2.D字母组合ur在重读音节中发[a:],在非重读音节中发[a]。surprise中的ur是非重读音节,发[a]。其他是在重读音节中。
3.C powder中的OW发[au]。其他单词中的ow发[au]
4.D clothes中的th发[6],其他单词中的th发[e]。
5.B certain中的ai是非重读音节,发音是[a],其他为重读音节,发音是[ei]。
二、词汇与语法知识
6.A参考译文:所有候选人都经过面试后才能决定将来的任命。此题考查时态。until引导的条件状语从句是现在(完成时),根据主将从规原则,主句应为将来时。
7.C参考译文:美国印第安人构成(占)美国人口的5%。其他不合题意。make up是一个多义词组,其中之一是“构成,组成”。
8.B参考译文:我关上所有的窗户以便能集中精力写论文。so that引出目的状语从句,说明关窗户的目的。
9.C参考译文:所有的老师和学生都要求应该有自己的时间和自由。此题考察should型虚拟语气。当主句谓语是表示要求(如本句demand),命令(如order),建议(如advise)的动词时,宾语从句的谓语应是should do--,但should可以省略,因而只剩动词原型。
10.C参考译文:尽管一般的说,彼得是个好人,但他有时够难相处的。本题考查情态动词。can表示“有时会(不经常如此)”,其他不合题意。
11.B参考译文:他在忙着写小说,只是偶尔停下来吸支烟。本题考查分词的用法。此处是分词短语作伴随情况状语。
12.A参考译文:在这个新学校里,当我看到一些熟悉的面孔时,开始感到舒心了。feel athome是固定短语,表示:感觉舒适,自在。
13.B参考译文:中国有众多的人口和悠久的历史。说明人口众多,用great population。
14.B参考译文:在一些地方,妇女外出挣钱而男人在家干活,抚养孩子。while在本句中表示一种对比,转折:然而。
15.C参考译文:史密斯教授和他的助手们夜以继日的忙着这个项目,争取按时完成。此题考查主谓一致。当主语是A,along withB/together with B/ as well as B等结构时,谓语动词与A保持一致。本句主语是史密斯教授一人,(第三人称单数)因而只能选C。
16.A参考译文:乔治一生中发现的第100个山洞靠近阿尔卑斯山。此题考查序数词的用法。
17.D参考译文:暴风雨就要来了,你必须尽快收割 18.D参考译文:在购物中心,你可以找到你所需要的任何东西。在周末那里总是很忙。which引导非限定性定语从句,代替theshopping center,并在从句中作主语。that不能引导非限定性定语从句;where在从句中只能做地点状语,what根本不能引导定语从句。
19.A参考译文:期末考试就要来临了。j该是我们认真考虑我们的学习的时候了。getdown to开始认真考虑。其他不合题意。好小麦。get in收获,收割。其他不合题意。strawberries and blackberry。D的意思是:你可以免费采摘的食品。
20.C参考译文:Lucy尽她最大的努力要
三、完形填空
21.B feel(be)proud of sth.为……感到自豪,是一个固定词组。
22.C remind sb.of sth.使某人想起某事,是一个固定词组。
23.A at all表示“根本,无论如何”。跟在否定句后,起加重语气的作用,表示“根本就不。”
24.A本句的意思是“总穿一样的衣服令人感到厌烦”。分词做表语,在说明人的感觉时,用过去分词;说明某事物的特征时用现在分词。
25.B此句的意思是“学生们对校服的主要的抱怨是:单调的颜色,陈旧的设计和的质量”。可以推断选B.bad quality(糟糕的质量),与前面提到的校服的两个特征一致,说明校服的不足之处。其他三个不合句意。
26.D as有“以……的身份,作为……”的意思,as a teacher and a mother,作为一名教师又是一名母亲,符合题意。
27.D本题考查动词的搭配。requires可以跟一宾语从句,但其中的谓语动词应是should be,而不是will be。need和want后面不接宾语从句。hope后可以接宾语从句,并且从句中的谓语动词是真实语气,即可以是will be。
28.A前面提到学生们抱怨校服的种种缺陷,所以作者呼吁校服应尽快得到改进一improved。
29.B此句意思是:什么导致了这些问题?cause是“导致某事发生的人,事,理由,动机等”。其他不合题意。
30.B此题考查词组的意义。come up有“发生,被提出,和讨论”的意思。其他不合题意。
31.A整句的意思是“……指出,问题的出现是因为全社会没有看到校服的重要性。”function功能,design设计,profit利润放人此句,语法方面没有错误,但句意不合逻辑。
32.C合乎逻辑的句意是“很多设计师一直用着旧款式是因为没有为学生设计的专业人员。”所以选because。
33.B整句的意思是“高质量需要高价钱。但在一些学校,平均每套校服的费用仅50~60元。用这么一点钱怎么生产高质量的衣服呢。”高价钱是high price。
34.A expense泛指“为得到某物或达到目的而支付的东西,或金钱”。fee指的是“会费、学费等费用或酬金”。fare表示交通费用,如乘公共汽车费用。mcome是收入。
35.D说明钱少,用little。
四、阅读理解36.B细节题。第三段第一句就是答案。
37.A推论题。第四段说,防风林可以保护的面积范围是防风林中最高的树高的10倍。由此可以推断,当树高为5米时,可保护的范围应该是50米。
38.D 细节题。第五段最后一句说:locally grown trees and plants are the best forwindbreaks.39.D主旨题。第一句话点出了全文的主要意思:Much of the best food in the world isfree.后面段落分别介绍了mushroom,40.D细节题。第三段最后一句在介绍truffle时提到,他们可以是黑色的,浅褐色的或是白色的。
41.A细节题。第四段提到“In June youmay find wild strawberries”。
42.C细节题。第四段提到,如果你在林子里走,有时在你看到草莓之前,你能闻到他们的气味。
43.D细节题。从第二段可以知道他出售他的大部分产品。因为他自己要吃掉或用去一些他所生产出来的东西,所以C“everythinghe grows他所种植的一切东西”不对。
44.C推论题。第二段提到,他在市场上出售所有其他的东西。所以他不是穷人。可以知道“他不穷是因为通过售出他的产品挣钱的。”
45.A推论题。第三段问到“他为什么没有很多朋友呢?”随后的两段文字说明是如何劳动的,并且提到“People cannot understand itand so they don't like it very much。”可以推断出他没有朋友的原因。
46.D细节题。最后一段告诉了我们一个事实(true thing):“the music does the workAll plants love music;and Matt knows that.”
47.B 细节题。第二段提到“Thespokesperson for this fame-hungry, talentlessgeneration is Britney Spears.”(这群追求名利,而无能的一代的代言人是Britney Spears)。其他三个特征文章里没有提到。
48.A细节题。第三段中提到“She wasstarrmg on…TV show,…release her firstalbum.她主演电视节目,出版个人专辑”,说明她是a pop singer和TV star.49.D推论细节题。从第四段中提到的“with fame came troubles.Photographersfollowed her everywhere she went.…she didall of this with the world watching.”可以推断出她的一切都有摄影师跟踪拍摄,成为媒体关注的中心。
50.D细节题。A,B,C三项文章里没有提到。但在第四段中提到“She made a series ofbad decisions”,所以选D。
五、补全对话
51.I think it went pretty well
52.That's good
53.we shouldn't have invited my wife's boss
54.How late did he stay this time
55.it's pretty difficult
参考译文:
Bob: 你昨天的晚宴怎么样?
Adam:我觉得很不错。大家似乎玩的都很开心。
Bob:太好了。
Adam:嗯。不过我们真不应该又请了我夫人的老板来。我们没有办法让他离开。
Bob: 真的吗?这次他呆到多晚?
Adam:直到凌晨1点。而我们俩第二天都 要早起。
Bob: 哦,他真不应该呆到这么晚。一点都不考虑别人。你们应该让他早 点走。
Adam:是啊。只是对我夫人的老板那样说有些困难。
六、书面表达

One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea、She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk、As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her、“Madam,” he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you!You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”

Passage Two
Deep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East、Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea、It is listed by the Guinness Book of Would Records as the world’s largest underground lake、The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns、The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation、The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain、Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “The Council Room,” many Indian artisfacts have been found、Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry、For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905、In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground、He found himself in a large cave half filled with water、Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors、More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found、Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown、66、The Lost Sea is unique because it is ________、part of a historical cave system

Passage Three
Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials、Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip、But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure、So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast、Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent、For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news、Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast、“Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Arrold E、Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance、”
Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults, “The literature”, says one researcher, Dr、Erresto at the University of Texas, “is poor”、71、The latest year for which figures could be obtained is _______、A、the year the author wrote the article B、1977
C、any year between 1997 and 1983 D、198372、For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _______、several studies have been done in the past few years
the omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s health
adults have especially made studies in this field
eating little in the morning is good for health73、“…nor does giving people breakfast improve performance” means ______、anyone without breakfast does improve his performance
not giving people breakfast improve performance
having breakfast does not improve performance, either
people having breakfast do improve their performance74、The word “literature” in the last sentence refers to _______、A、stories, poems, plays, etc、B、written works on a particular subject
C、any printed material D、the modern literature of America75、What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that _______、breakfast does not affect performance
Dr、Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learning
not eating breakfast might affect the health of children
Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London
Passage Four
About 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning、The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university、These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts(B、A、)or Bachelor Science(B、S、)degree、Some students attend a junior college(providing only a two-year program)for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore(二年级生)or junior(三年级生)、It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one、Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average(GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school、Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive、Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships、Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad(graduate)school、Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies、Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs、Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time、Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands on their time、While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time, most still enjoy social activities、Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular、However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity、76、College education is _______ in America、A、quite common B、very rare
C、something difficult D、almost impossible77、Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools、A、entrance examinations B、taking part in many activities
C、GPA D、college prep classes78、How can poor students attend private schools?

C、Popular activity D、A new system

3.对中国加入世贸组织感到欣喜之余,我们也应看到随之而来的一些挑战。例文: What Will Happen If China Enters WTO?
Every Chinese is looking forward to China“s entry into WTO,widely seen as a blessing and a promise of prosperity.It seems to be so at first sight,however,on reflection,we”re convinced that it“s just another coin with two sides.On the one hand,both the nation and people will benefit greatly from China“s entry into WTO.Shut out of WTO,China Dused to be deprived of equal trade opportunities and was placed at a distinct disadvantage in world trade.This situation will change if China enters WTO.In addition,foreign coMPAnies will stream into China and offer great job opportunities,which,in a sense,will relieve the unemployment problem.On the other hand,the entry will impose some negative effects on China.State-owned enterprises in China are undergoing great difficulties,which will be more acute with the flow of foreign competitors into China.In short,excited about the advantages caused by the entry,we should not lose sight of the severe challenges posed by it.成人高考高起点英语写作范文

例文: Fast Food
Fast food is becoming more popular in China,especially among children and teenagers.Today,it“s certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that
represents the fast pace of modern society as powerfully as fast food.There are several reasons for its popularity.First,it is very convenient
and saves a lot of time.The trends of modern society seem to all point to one ultimate goal ?D?
D saving time,and fast food well serves this purpose.You just go
into a fast food restaurant,order your food,and your food is ready in no time.You can either eat it there or take it away.Second,its popularity is also attributed to the clean and comfortable environment of fast food restaurants,the excellent service,and the guaranteed qualith of food.However,in terms of nutrition,fast food is far from satisfactory.It usually
does not compose a balanced diet and is low in nutritional value.Thus,doctors suggest that people,especially children,eat fast food as little as possible.Although cooking at home is time ?

例文: Preserving Natural Resources
Through the changes in the ways of making a living in a family over several
generations,the cartoon aims at sounding a warning against man“s wasteful use
of natural resources and emphasizing the urgent need to preserve these resources.Ever since man appeared on the earth,man“s survival has been heavily relied
on nature.Almost everything we use in our everyday life comes from nature,ranging
from the food we eat,the water we drink,to the wood which is turned into furiture.With the development of technology and population growth,the amount and range of materials used has increased at an alarming rate.However,natural resources are
not inexhaustible.Some reserves are already on the brink of exhaustion and there is
no hope of replacing them.The widespread water shortage is an example in point.If
man continued to squander natural resources with no thought for the future,the
later generations would end up selling sand,as is the case in the cartoon,and
the whole world would be in a mess.Time is running out.It is up to us to take effective measures before the
situation gets out of hand.2010年成人高考高起点英语语法归纳一:人称代词

四、例题解析
1)C错。him是宾格,而此处却需要作主语的人称代词,故应将him改为主格he.2)C错。改为they are.C处代替的是“Legends”而不是“an element”。
3)D错。them也是宾格,应改用主格they,作定语从句中的主语,谓语为travel.4)A错。改为me.5)A错。改为宾格us,因为前面是介词of,us作其宾语,故用宾格。

反身代词
一、反身代词有myself,ourselves,yourselves,himself,herself,themselves,itself.主语与宾语为同一人或物时,要用反身代词(否则就不能用反身代词),反身代词也可放在名词或代词(主格)后面(也可放在句尾)起强调作用
1)All [A] the scouts(童子军)got theirselves [B] ready for the [C] long camping trip by spending their weekends living [D] in the open.2)Various [A] animals have shells that keep themselves [B] from growing beyond [C] a certain [D] size.3)Benjamin Banneker’s aptitude [A] in mathematics [B] and knowledge of astronomy enabled himself [C] to predict the solar [D] eclipse of 1789.4)The president announced that he himself [A] would act upon [B] the evidence as presented [C] to himself [D] by the congressional committee.5)Garrett [A] Morgan died in Cleveland,Ohio,the city that [A] had awarded himself [B] a gold medal for his devotion [C] to public [D] safety.6)Plants rid them [A] of excess water through [B] transpiration,the evaporation of extra [C] moisture from their [D] leaves.7)When Jonathan went [A] to Spain with his [B] sister,he bought a [C] leather coat for her and another for him [D].二、例题解析
1)B错。改为themselves.2)B错。B处明显指代animals,而它前面的主语that却指代shells,也就是说“that”和“themselves”指的不是同一事物。由于主语与宾语不是同一物,故不能用反身代词,应改为宾格them.3)C错。本句的主语为aptitude,而非Benjamin Banneker(在这里它作aptitude的定语),而C处的代词却指上文提到的人名“Benjamin Banneker”,由于主语与宾语并非指同一人,故不能用反身代词,应改用宾格him.4)D错。改为to him.动词“presented”的(逻辑)主语是“evidence”,而不是A处的“he,”所以D“himself”处与C处“presented”的主语“evidence”不一致,所以不能用反身代词。
5)B错。改为him.同上。
6)A错。此处的them指主语plants,rid是及物动词,由于主语与宾语指同一物,故应使用反身代词themselves.7)D错。改为for himself.2010年成人高考高起点英语语法归纳四:不定代词
不定代词
一、“every”(每一个)只作为定语使用,即必须在其后加上单数可数名词构成名词短语,它不可与everyone(每一个)混淆。everyone相当于名词,它不可修饰其他名词,只
作主语或宾语
1)Every [A] knows that hospitals are institutions where the sick are treated,but how many [B] realize that they were once [C] homes for the indigent and the friendless [D] ?
2)Everyone [A] child in the United States must [B] receive [C] some form of educational instruction [D].例题解析
1)A错。every不可单独充当句子成分,应在其后加上person或改为everyone.2)A错。改为Every,修饰child.二、“much”和“many”分别修饰不可数名词和可数名词,可作为代词(如much of)和形容词使用
3)Food seasoning plays an important [A] role in the cooking [B] customs of much [C] cultures in [D] the world.4)The general sales tax has been [A] a major source of income for state governments,much [B] of which derive more than half [C] of their budgets from [D] it.5)Data received from [A] two spacecraft indicate that there is many evidence [B] that huge thunderstorms are now occurring [C] around the equator [D] of the planet Saturn.例题解析
3)C错。应改为of many,因为被修饰词cultures为可数名词,故其修饰语应用many,而much要修饰不可数名词。
4)B错。应改用many,因此处所指代的是可数名词governments(复数),many在本句中为代词,作非限定性定语从句的主语。
5)B错。应改为much evidence,因为evidence(证据,迹象)为不可数名词,故应用much来修饰。
三、“some”和“any”是表示不定数量的代词,相当于汉语的“一些”,作定语可修饰可数名词复数或不可数名词,其中some(包括它的合成词something,someone,somebody)多用于肯定句,而any(包括它的合成词anything,anyone,anybody)则用于疑问句和否定句中,其中any在否定句中相当于汉语中的“任何”;形容词修饰something,someone,somebody,anything,anyone,anybody,nothing,nobody时,形容词要放在这些词的后边
6)Historians [A] have never reached some general [B] agreement about [C] the precise causes of the [D] Civil War in the United States.例题解析
6)B错。应为any general,因为本句为否定句(否定副词never),应该用any,此处表示“(没有达成过)任何共识”。
四、“another”和“other”分别表示“另外的一个”(an+other)和“另外的”“其余的”意思,可以用作定语修饰名词或单独作主语与宾语,其中前者只用来修饰或指代单数可数名词,后者修饰单复数名词和不可数名词,二者不能相互混淆
7)Lizards lack [A] the builtin body temperature control [B] many another [C] creatures possess [D].8)Some bacterium are extremely [A] harmful,but anothers [B] are regularly [C] used in producing cheeses,crackers,and many other foods [D].9)Like [A] most another [B] art forms,the Greek tragedy had [C] its origins in religious [D] observances.例题解析
7)C错。应改用other来修饰可数复数名词creatures.本句是一个省略了关系代词that(或which)的定语从句,control为名词作主句中及物动词(谓语)lack的宾语,同时又受其后面定语从句的修饰。
8)B错。改为others.9)B错。改为other.五、one与other “one”作为代词代替前面提到的人或物,它前边加the; “other”作代词修饰复数名词。“one…another”表示“一个…另一个”的意思,或表示多个(三者以上)之中的“另一个”,“又一个”; “one…the other”表示两者之中剩下的“另一个,又一个”
10)I’d like to [A] buy a coat similar [B] to one [C] you are wearing [D].11)Though [A] Art Tatum was totally blind in one eye and had only slight [B] vision in another [C],he became [D] an internationally renowned jazz musician.例题解析
10)C错。改为to the one.11)C错。应用the other,因为此处表示两者之中的另一个,Art Tatum为人的名字,他只有两只眼睛,故提到“另一只”时应用the other.六、“few”和“little”两者分别为“many”和“much”的反义词,表示“少,很少”的意思,有否定含义,即等于“几乎没有”,如若表示肯定的含义,则应在little和few前加不定冠词“a”,即变为“a few”和“a little”
12)Because they are generally [A] taken simply to obtain a recognizable [B] and relatively clear [C] image,most nonprefessional photographs demand few [D] equipment.例题解析
12)D错。应改用little,因为equipment为不可数名词,故其修饰语应用little,few后面只接可数复数名词。
七、“a great deal(of)”(大量)只作为限定语修饰不可数名词或在句中指代不可数名词作主语或宾语
13)of giftgiving,barter,buying and selling goes on among the Narvjos.[A] A great deal [B] A great many [C] Much greater [D] Many
例题解析
13)A为正确答案。空白后为不可数名词“giftgiving,barter,buying”,“[B] A great amny”和“[D] Many”修饰可数名词,而“[C] Much greater”本身是形容词,空档后不应有“of”,所以填“[A] A great deal of”。
八、“nothing but”表示“只不过,就是,只有”
He is nothing but a singer.他只不过是个唱歌的。
Nothing but a miracle can save us.只有奇迹才能救我们。
九、“anything but” 表示“根本不,并不”
She is anything but beautiful.她并不美。
John is anything but a liar.约翰决不是个骗子。
十、“something of” 表示“略有”
He has seen something of life.他略有阅历。
I’m something of a cook.我略懂烹饪。
(试比较)
He is not much of a scholar.他算不上个很好(高明)的学者。
十一、“none other than”表示“就是”
The new arrival was none other than the President.刚到的那人就是总统本人。我们要注意none other than 与 other than 的区别,后者表示“与……不同”
I do not wish him other than he is.我不希望他改变现状。
The truth is quite other than what we think.事实与我们所想的不一样。
十二、“none”有时可作副词,表示“一点也不”
We did the work none too well.我们活干得一点也不好。
十三、nowhere可用以成语:be nowhere一无所得,一事无成;get nowhere一事无成,nowhere near离……很远。
十四、有些不定代词同时也是形容词,或有其他的含义
He is all attention,and she is all eyes.他十分留意,她也注意力集中。
Everybody who is anybody(somebody)at all will be at the dance.[句中的“anybody(somebody)”在此当“大人物,重要人物”讲。]

A
Have you ever felt your mind falling into disorder after a sleepless night? You couldn't come up with an original thought no matter how hard you tried.You were probably right if you thought that was caused by a lack of sleep.Dr.Home,a sleep researcher in England, studied 24 college students.One group got their normal eight hours of sleep.The other group didn't get the smallest amount of sleep-they stayed awake all night.The next day, Dr, Home tested the students.He asked them question that required creative and original thinking.One of the questions was “How many uses can a cardboard box be put to?”
The result? The wide-awake students did well on the test.The tired students did poorly.Research has already shown that tired people can do OK on tests of habitual thinking,like simple addition But Dr.Home tested creative thinking only.As part of his study, he offered an amount of money as reward to the sleepy students if they did well.But even this encouragement was not enough to help the students conquer their tiredness.They did poorly.Dr.Home believes that the part of the brain where thinking takes place may becomes very tired during waking hours.Sleep may help to repair the brain.“Without any sleep,” he emphasizes(强调), “even if you pay closer attention, you can't do better.”
This study gives people something to think about, especially like hospital workers who must stay awake all night and then make quick decisions.36.It can be known from the text that lack of sleep may _.()
A.be a cause of some serious diseases
B.cause one to lose his ability to calculate
C.do harm to one's power of usual thinking
D.weaken one's power of creative thinking
37.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?()
A.Hospital workers can think well although they often stay awake all night.B.People can not work well without good sleep.C.Dr.Home's tests are on habitual thinking.D.Sleep has nothing to do with creativity.38.The underlined word “conquer” can be replaced by _()
A.take off B.break out C.give off D.get over
39.Why couldn't the reward offered in the study attract the sleepy students?()
A.Because they were too tired and too sleepy.B.Because they did not care for money at all.C.Because they thought sleep might help to repair the brain.D.Because they waited for bigger rewards.B
It's important to learn about protecting environment.Here is 5R rule for us:
1.Reduce
If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely.A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper.If everyone uses a little paper carelessly and throw it out, soon we would not have anv trees left.Other things are also being wasted.and DeODle don'tknow what to do with the waste in big cities.So it is necessary to reduce the waste.2.Reuse
You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them out.Give your clothes you do not use or the ones which are too small to the poor.In a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.3.Recycle
Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled.By doing so, we save lots of time and money.For example, coke cans are sent to a factOry, where they are smashed flat and melted, and the metal things are made for new coke cans.4.Recover
When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten apples, you have two choice: one is to throw the whole apples away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and use the good parts.In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.5.Repair
If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it.If you want to change for better ones, it is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair.It is true that North America is a “throw-away” society,but the time has come to change our way of life so that we can protect our environment.Every one of us should try our best.40.The “Reduce” rule mainly requires us _.()
A.to use things wisely
B.to cut down many trees
C.to use a lot of paper.D.to throw away your old things
41.What's the right order of recycling coke cans?()
a.collect the used cans b.melt them
c.smashed them flat d.send them to a factory
A.abcd B.adcb C.dbca D.cabd()
42.The “Recover” rule mainly requires us-…。
8.D 参考译文:--玛丽不在乎钱。--我也如此。此题考查倒装句。前句用little,为否定意义,所以后句要用否定形式,……也不,用neither.A只能用于肯定句;B中的too应改成either;C没有这种表达。
9.A参考译文:我一坐下铃声就响了。否定词放句首用倒装。Hardly这部分用过去完成时,when这部分用一般过去时。
10.C 参考译文:--我能用你的字典吗?--当然可以。此题为英语交际用语。符合英语习惯。A use后应该加it;B不符合习惯;D go on意思是继续,应该用go ahead。
11.C参考译文:要是她那天晚上没丢项链就好了。if only引导的句子用虚拟语气,与过去事实相反的用过去完成时态。

13.C参考译文:你妈妈一定在家,是吗?此题must表推测。反意问句应为must后面动词的否定形式。
14.C参考译文:我想去看医生,你不必跟我一起去了。此题考查need作为实意动词及情态动词的用法区别。作为情态动词,后面直接加not+动词原形。
15.A参考译文:我现在没钱了。你能帮我把这本书留到明天吗?A any用于否定句,Bsome用于肯定句,C little本身就是否定意思,D a little是肯定意思,与原句不符。
16.C参考译文:无论谁犯了错误都要改正。Whoever用于引导主语从句。A引导定语从句,不能在此处做主语;B no matter引导状语从句;D不存在。
17.A 参考译文:--你最近见过莉莉吗?--没有,但是这个周末开会时候我会见到她。进行时表示将来的动作。
18.B参考译文:--结果天气很好,这是我们没有想到的。定语从句。Which代替前边整个一句话。其他词不可以。
