36---55 ABCCB ADADB ACDBD ACBDA
36. A。由下文作者回憶如何成癮,如何對他生活的影響以及他是采取什么措施克服,這講的都是作者如何面對解決這個問題的。
37. B。從后面的from the moment I woke up to the time I went sleep中的moment可推知他一直都想打電話,所以選B。
38. C。由第四段的If I couldn’t make a call, I spent the whole time waiting for the phone to ring可反推出該空填wait。
39. C。由下句的轉(zhuǎn)折詞though及其后的內(nèi)容(可是漸漸地越來越糟糕了)可反推出剛開始一天幾個電話并且通話時間很短,似乎還挺正常,所以用fine。
40. B。situation指“形勢,局面”;condition指人的身心或物品所處于的具體狀態(tài),也可表示“條件”;result指最終形成的結(jié)果,既然是最終的結(jié)果,就無法再發(fā)生變化;effect指某物最后產(chǎn)生的“效果”,這里指的是情形越來越糟糕。
41. A。由空后的finally, addiction可知空里應(yīng)該填上癮前的表現(xiàn),而只有總是去做去想才叫上癮,選項中frequent是頻繁的意思,符合上下文的意思。
42. D。由During the day I would disappear for ___call可知本段敘述的是打電話上癮影響了他的工作,要不然他不用偷偷摸摸地去打電話。
43. A。由上題可知這些電話是他在工作時間打的,不可能長時間地打電話;既然他是打電話上癮者,那么他打電話就是因為他想打,不打心里難受,沒有什么特別的理由,所以其他三項不能選。
44. D。他打電話上了癮,工作時間打不成電話,就一直盼著別人來電話,等不來電話,按長理推斷,上了癮的人,不能做想做的事會越來越著急,煩躁不安(anxious)。
45. B。這里他是在做內(nèi)心的自我斗爭,一邊想繼續(xù)打電話一邊告誡自己:再打一個電話就不打了,自己和自己說,故用telling。
46. A。leave a message是打電話者的常用語,意思是“留言”;take a message是接電話的人的常用語,意思也是“留言”,但動作發(fā)出者不同。
47. C。由see me through the day可知,他想熬過這一天,根據(jù)他是個打電話上癮的人要想熬過去,就像吸鴉片上癮的人需要足夠的鴉片一樣,他必須有足夠的電話。
48. D。saying的意思是格言、俗語;demands的意思是要求、需求,wish的意思是愿望、希望;words的意思是話,言語,而下一句就是他說的話,所以選D。
49. B。由下文作者居然用電話打老板這件事可知,不讓他用電話時他的瘋狂行為。
50. D。從下一句他用電話打他的老板可反推知這里講的是他的同事阻止他打電話,stop somebody(from)doing是固定短語,意思是“阻止某人做某事”。
51. A。phone box指的是投幣電話接受硬幣的盒子。由phone box的定語從句知他的最后一個硬幣被phone box吞了,他不能接著打電話,才導(dǎo)致他破壞盒子;他是打電話上癮者,不是小偷,所以不可能是偷盒子或者倒空盒子,排除C、D項。
52. C。既然是被警察捉住,那么他就是在警察的強制命令下去看心理醫(yī)生,去改變或克服他的不正常行為,。
53. B。這一段緊接上文談他是如何克服自己的電話癮的,由此推知在三個星期內(nèi)他的家里是沒有電話機的。
54. D。since是自從……的意思,這句話的意思是自從我上次打投幣電話已經(jīng)有好幾天了。
55. A。電視節(jié)目中確實經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)人們打電話的場景,這里沒有和電視里打電話的人數(shù)形成對比的對象,所以不能用more。

We should like to hear your views on it. If you would rather choose another topic in the field of Linguistics (語音學(xué)), we should be equally interested.
Possible dates would be Monday, 31 th March, or Monday 7th April but if neither of these is suitable, perhaps you youself would suggest a date convenient to you in May. If you find this invitation acceptable, please let me know the date and time when you would like to come, and of course we'll send a car to pick you up from your hotel.

For hundreds of years, artists have used cartoons to criticize bad rulers or landowners. As early as the 19 th century, people produced and read books of drawings. In many ways, they were similar to modern comics(漫畫). They contained stories of naughty children and playful animals. The owl and the elephant were usually wise animals, ready to give advice. The lion and tiger were brave. The fox and wolf were cunning, greedy and dangerous.
A century ago, an American newspaper published the first-color comic strip. It was so popular that sales of the newspaper, Morning Journal, increased quickly. Since then, newspapers throughout the world have included comic strips.
In modern time, comics are popular in China, Japan, the USA and almost everywhere. Not even video games or CD-ROMs have reduced their popularity. Names such as Snoopy, Woodstock and Garfield are well known in dozens of countries. The Peanuts comic strip appears in over 2,000 newspapers and in more than 25 languages.
Perhaps one day, you may like to create your own comic strip and become a millionaire. First, you must think of a good plot. It should be funny, exciting or interesting in some way. It should have plenty of action. Moreover, the language must be realistic and simple. The words should suit the characters in your story.
Furthermore, the characters in your story must be clear to readers. They should be obviously good or bad. In many comic strips—especially those showing crime of adventure—there should also be a hero or heroine. This will attract the reader to keep on reading the story.
1. Which of the following is NOT the name of a cartoon character?
A. Snoopy B. Garfield C. Peanuts D. Woodstock
2. We can know from the first paraphaph that rulers ________.
A. asked the artists to draw cartoons B. probably did not like cartoons about them.
C. often drew cartoons many years ago. D. used cartoons to give people advice.
3. According to the passage, what makes a popular and successful comic strip?
A. Good plot B. suitable language C. clear characters D. All of above
4. The underlined word “plot” is similar in meaning to ______.
A. places B. stories C. events D. characters

科目:高中英語 來源:吉林省實驗中學(xué)2009屆高三第四次模擬考試 題型:閱讀理解
Dr Wiseman started “the laugh lab” project in September 2001. It is the largest study of humour. Participants are invited to log on to the laugh lab website, give a few personal details , tell their favorite jokes and judge the jokes told by other people.
The project will last for a year, and the organizers hope to finally discover the world’s funniest joke. But there is also a serious purpose, the researches want to know what people from different nations and cultures find funny. And they want to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humor. The idea is that if we want to understand each other, we have to find out what makes us laugh.
This is a subject that has long interested psychologists and philosophers. Most of the time, people are not completely honest. We do things that society expects us to and say things that help us get what we want. But laughing cannot be controlled. When we laugh, we tell the truth about ourselves.
By December 2001 over 10,000 jokes had been submitted(提交). This gave the scientists enough evidence to make early conclusions. It seems that men and women do have different senses of humor, for instance.
“Our findings show the major differences in the ways in which males and females use humor,” said Dr Wiseman. “Males use humor to appear superior(優(yōu)越的) to others, while women are more skilled in languages and prefer word play.”
Researchers also found that there really is such a thing as a national sense of humor. The British enjoy what is usually called “toilet humor”. But the French like their jokes short and sharp: “You’re a high priced lawyer. Will you answer two questions for $500?” “Yes. What’s the second question?”
The Germans are famous for not having a sense of humor. But the survey found that German participants were more likely to find submitted jokes funny than any other nationality. Perhaps that proves the point. Is this joke funny? I don’t know, but let’s say yes, just to be safe.
Dr Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jokes created by computer. But none of those who took part in the survey found any of them amusing. Perhaps this is relief. Computers already seem like they can do everything. At least they should leave the funny stuff to us.
1.Scientist started “the laugh lab” project ____________

A.to show that French people have a better sense of humour
B.to prove the British people have a sense of “toilet humour”
C.to show people from different nations have different senses of humour
D.to prove that the Germans have no sense of humour
4.Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The jokes by computer are less funny than those by humans
B.The Germans cannot find the submitted jokes amusing
C.Males are better at word play compared with women
D.Females like to use humor to show that they are superior
