A [2015'甘肅天水市高三二聯(lián)] The day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting moments for all the children in the class. It took place during the first week of the term. Every kid was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.

Some jobs were more interesting than others, and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones. When giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year. During the previous year Rita had carried out the teacher's instruc?tions perfectly. All the children knew Rita would be given the best job.

But there was a big surprise. Each child received a nor?mal job. But Rita's job was very different. She was given a little box containing some sand and one ant. Though the teacher insisted that this ant was very special, Rita felt disap?pointed. Most of her classmates felt sorry for her. Even her father became very angry with the teacher and he encouraged Rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet. However, Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing some?thing special with that job of little interest.

Rita started investigating all about her little ant and gave the ant the best food, and it grew quite a bit bigger.

One day, a man, who looked very important, came into their classroom and declared, "Your class has been chosen to accompany me, this summer, on a journey to the tropical rainforest, where we will investigate all kinds of insects. Among all the schools of this region, your class has best cared for the little ant.,,

That day the school was filled with joy and celebration. Everyone thanked Rita for having been so patient and respon?sible. And many children learnt that to be given the most im?portant task you have to know how to be responsible even in what are the smallest tasks.

1. What does the underlined sentence mean?

A.     Each child got an important job.

B.     Each child got an interesting job.

C.     The perfect student got the job of everyone's prefer?ence.

D.     The most responsible student got the job of least in?terest.

 

2.What is Rita's attitude to her father's suggestion?
A. Negative.                     B. Uncertain.

C.  Totally positive.               D. Acceptive.

3.We can infer that the man who made the declaration is a

A. hunter                       B. director

C.  biologist                    D. principal

4. Which would be the best title for the passage?

 A.     Never complain about life

B.     Small tasks can lead to fortunes

C.     Men are best known by their friends

D.     Responsibility and intelligence bring good luck

A [文章大意]本文是一篇記敘文,講述了老師根據(jù)孩子去年的表現(xiàn)給每個孩子一份工作。Rita表現(xiàn)最突出卻沒有得到最好的工作, Rita的工作是照顧螞蟻,她感到很失望,但是還是認(rèn)真地去調(diào)査了解了很多關(guān)于螞蟻的知識。Rita的認(rèn)真負(fù)責(zé)使她所在的班級被選中和生物學(xué)家一起去熱帶雨林研究昆蟲。故事告訴我們認(rèn)真對待每一個小任務(wù)才可能有贏得大任務(wù)的機(jī)會。

1.D 句意猜測題。根據(jù)"All the children knew Rita would be given the best job."可知,所有的孩子都認(rèn)為Rita會被給予最好的工作;又根據(jù)"Each child received a normal job. But Rita's job was very different. ...Rita felt disappointed."可知選D項(xiàng)。

2.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)"Even her father became very angry with the teacher and he encouraged Rita to pay no attention to this in?significant pet. However, Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing something special with that job of little interest." 可知,她沒有聽從父親的建議,故選A項(xiàng)。

3.C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)"One day, a man, who looked very impor?tant, came into their classroom and declared, ' Your class has been chosen to accompany me, this summer, on a journey to the tropical rainforest where we will investigate all kinds of in-sects.'"可知,他可能是一位生物學(xué)家。故選C項(xiàng)。

 4. B主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章的內(nèi)容可知選B項(xiàng)。

A〖2015'泉州市普通高中畢業(yè)班質(zhì)檢〗Each Sunday, people can hear the music of the Mission Dolores Basilica in San Francisco. The Spanish missionaries (傳教士) built the church in 1791. It was the start of a spe?cial kind of neighbourhood: the Mission District.

The area is a place with a long and varied history. One community member says that it's important for people to un?derstand the many levels of history in the neighbourhood. He feels that this knowledge is a big part of understanding what it means to be a real San Franciscan.

One of the most interesting parts of the district is its peo?ple. Over the years? immigrants have come to the area from Ireland* Germany, and Italy. But the most recent immigrants are mainly from Latin America. It's easy to see the style that these recent additions give to the neighbourhood. You can see it in the art on the walls, taste it in the food, and hear it in the music!

Juan Pedro Gaffney Rivera, the director of the Spanish Choir(唱詩班)of San Francisco, says that the people there share the pain and happiness of their friends and family mem?bers and that music has always been a basic part of cultural i-dentity in the district. He feels that the music of the district is colourful and lively.

But it isn't just its music that's colourful and lively. Its art is full of life as well.

The local art community stays close to the area's culture and tradition. A local art organization often leads people on walks through the district. They visit streets like Balmy Alley, which is famous for its murals (壁畫).Even though the meanings behind the murals are always changing, they are still very powerful. One artist explains that they are fighting for fairness in the community and to help the environ?ment through murals. Apparently, they're something the community likes.

Many of these artists feel that the district is a successful neighbourhood where new immigrants are welcome. "People see that they're not so different from each other," says one artist. "There are a lot of things that bind(捆綁)the immi?grants through culture and tradition.,,

A.     having memories of the Spanish missionaries

bourhood

2.The author shows the multiculture of the Mission District

Maurice Mountain is a retired lawyer in Washington D. C. He developed a prototype(原型)for a device he calls Presto Emergency Boat Ladder. His invention is a small folding lad?der that attaches to the side of a boat to help people who fall into the water. Mr Mountain plans to mass-produce his boat ladder.

He created his invention at a workshop called TechShop. Mr Mountain says, "I think it encourages innovation. 1 think people who probably have had ideas rolling around in the back of their minds for years but have never had the opportunity to actually put them into production or even experiment with them would find this place wonderful. Members of TechShop use high-tech equipment to develop and produce ideas they have for inventions. " Isabella Musachio manages a TechShop in Arlington, Virginia. She says the shop has many different kinds of equipment.

"TechShop is a do-it-yourself maker space. So when you come in we have all these different areas of the shop, and we have a metal shop, a wood shop, lasers, 3-D printers, and electronics. I mean, we have so many different areas and we have all the equipment that is available to anybody above the age of 12."

Membership costs for TechShop start at just over $ 100 per month. Members are able to use costly machines inclu?ding 3-D modelling tools and laser cutters. Isabella Musachio says TechShop helps its members build their dreams.

"Our motto is 'build your dreams here' because you can really come in with just an idea, and then with the help of TechShop make that leap from an idea to building your pro?ject on your prototype or even your business.,,

Jim Newton is the founder of TechShop. He first intro?duced the idea for the technology workshops at an arts and sciences event called Maker Faire in San Mateo* California in 2006. His idea attracted hundreds of members during that event. Now, there are eight TechShop locations in the US. In all, there are more than 6,000 members. Two more Tech?Shop locations in the cities of St. Louis and Los Angeles will be set up.

  1. The invention Mr Mountain invented will be used to

    A.     save the drowning people

    B.     help people climb the ladder

 C.      make the boat safer

D.     let the boat float safely

 2.What can be inferred from what Mr Mountain says in Par?agraph 2?

 A.     People with imagination can achieve their dreams.

B.     TechShop can help turn some people's ideas into real?ity.

C.     TechShop is a place where people can put forward their new ideas.

D.     It's hard for people to put their ideas into practice.

3. From the last paragraph, we can know .

 A.    Jim Newton is a very great inventor

B.     people didn't like TechShop at first

C.     TechShop will become more and more popular

D.    TechShop greeted with bad reviews in 2006

4. What can we know about TechShop from the passage?

People often say you never get a second chance to make a first impression, and that's actually quite true. 9 After all, making a good first impression is all about making others feel good when spending time with them. The following tips will help you make a positive impression every time.

•  Dress appropriately.

10 That means dressing up or putting on nice, clean, situation-appropriate clothes for social situations. It isn't difficult and it doesn't have to cost you much, either.

•   Be aware of your body language.

Words express very little of what you say. Body lan?guage can tell someone a lot about your mood and confidence level. 11 Eye contact is an easy way to make others feel comfortable, important and special. Nervous body language can make others uncomfortable and anxious. Try to be aware of your body language when communicating with others.

•  Respect the opinions of others.

Not everyone will have the same opinion with you, and friendly disagreements can be a gateway to a great conversa?tion. Respect other people's right to have their own opinion. Respect the opinions of others even if you disagree with them. 12

 People love talking about themselves, but generally, you want to be careful of taking over the conversation. By listen?ing carefully to what others are saying, you are not only mak?ing them feel important, but also gathering cues you need to keep the conversation going and bridge to new topics.

A.     Be a careful listener.

B.     Show an interest in every person you meet.

C.     Smile especially when first meeting someone.

D.     Make sure you look nice whenever you meet
someone new.

E.     Meeting new people and starting conversations is often challenging.

F.      Others will want to be with you and help you make a good impression.

G.     Don't force others to believe what you believe or to see things only as you see them.

And so did a woman who was worried about her green potatoes. Could she make chips with them? Were they poisonous? She didn't hesitate about calling the local ambulance service to ask. According to a recent report, more than 31,000 non-ur?gent calls were made to the Welsh Ambulance Service in the last year.

But those who try to be funny shouldn't be surprised if the police have the last laugh. One man from Colorado was arrested for making more than 1,200 prank calls,according to a report on the US television station KOAA-TV.

People who take these calls are trained to stay calm and keep a straight face, no matter how strange the calls sound. "There's no way for us to know whether the call is real,acci?dental or a prank call," said a public safety worker inter?viewed by the American TV channel.

The Head of Clinical Services at the Welsh Ambulance Service, Richard Lee, has a warning for prank callers. He says,"When people misuse the service it means our precious time is being taken away from someone who really does need our help. ,, Indeed,these hotlines are supposed to help the se?riously ill or those with a life-threatening injury. You never know,one day,the person who needs assistance could be you or someone in your family.

Plan on travelling around theUSAthis summer? If you need help in arranging the trip,or want ideas about where to go and what to do, there are a number of out?standing websites that can make your American dream come true.

http : //byways, org

The National Scenic Byways Programme covers 150 memorable roads. Some are natural routes , such as Route 1 along the Californian coast. Others focus on his-tory(such as Route 6) or man-made attractions (the Las Vegas Strip). For each, you are provided with a map, told the route's length and how long it is allowed, and given detailed suggestions on sights and stop-offs.

www. oyster, com

This is the best website for reviews of hotels in US cities and resorts. The reviews are impressively thorough― covering locations, rooms, cleanliness, food and so on. Importantly, these are not promotional photos by the ho?tels, but more honest and revealing ones taken by in?spectors. Search facilities are excellent. From the 243 hotels reviewed in New York, you can narrow down what you are looking for by locations, facilities and styles,or just pick out a selection of the best.

www. lOlusholidays. co.uk

This is the latest offering that features 101 holiday ideas to theUSA. It's an impressively diverse selection, ranging from touring in the footsteps of Martin Luther King to a golfing break in Arizona and a cycling and wine-tasting trip in California's Napa Valley. Narrow down what you are looking for―by price, region, theme and who will be travelling―and then just the photos of the relevant holidays remain on view. It's a really clever design.

www. mousesavers. com

Walt Disney World in California can make dreams come true,but the price is not affordable for the majority of people.

So turn to long established Mousesavers. com,dedi?cated to giving big discounts on tickets,hotels and dining at Walt Disney World. The website also offers general money-saving tips, suggestions for cheap and free stuff and brief coverage of other Florida and California theme parks.

A. Route 1         B. Route 6

6. Why are the photos of the hotels in US cities and re?sorts real in www. oyster, com?

A. Because they were taken by customers who once lived there.

B. Because there are comments of customers on each photo.

C. Because there are qualifications of the authority.

D. Because they are taken by inspectors of the web?site.

7.What can be inferred from the text?
