A [2015*山東泰安高三下學(xué)期二輪檢測]

When people are asked to list typical English gentlemen, for many,Colin Firth immediately comes to mind.

  In his recent film, Kingsman : The Secret Service ?the 54-year-old actor appears as elegant and violent super spy Harry Hart. One minute he's calm and polite, and then in the next he's skilfully violent and aggressive. For example,in one scene he says,"Manners maketh man",before severely beating up a group of villains (if A). Firth brings out the perfect mix of typical British style and humour through this performance.

  Firth began appearing on English TV in the early 1990s, but it wasn't until he played Mr Darcy,a charming upper class character from Jane Austen's famous novel Pride and Preju?dice ,that Firth's career really took off. His portrayaK形象)of the perfect fictional gentleman conquered millions of hearts, especially females'.

In many fans and critics'eyes, Firth has British good looks,British charm, and a gift for characters with a British sense of being reserved(矜持).Movie reviewer Jason O'Bryan described Firth as "always befitting the calm and stiff-upper-lip British gentlemen character".

However Firth doesn't consider himself the authority on gentlemen. "I don't necessarily approach every challenge like a perfect English gentleman spy. There are many aspects in my personality that are not consistent with someone like Har?ry Hart,"he said to Dialogue, an English-language show on CCTV News.

But let's just take his words as another gentlemanly quality-modesty. After all, who might expect an Oscar-win?ning actor over 50 years old to learn to fight for his first ac?tion movie?

To prepare for Kingsman ^ Firth trained for three hours every day over six months. He broke a tooth and got bruised everywhere, but took the damage as a symbol of his accom?plishments.

In Dialogue, Firth said he had many other sides―he's passionate about literature and literary research. However,to many of his movie fans, he is indeed a gentleman and excel?lent actor above all else.

1. The example given in Paragraph 2 is______________ .

A.     to describe the character of Harry Hart

B.     to introduce one scene of Kingsman

C.     to prove Colin Firth a gentleman

D.  to compare Colin Firth with Harry Hart

2. When did Firth come to be famous?

4.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

  You may have experienced the annoyance of being fined because of parking illegally

or finding your car towed away(拖走)after leaving it parked somewhere for a couple of 

mi?nutes. But now a high-tech car sticker that's designed to be stuck to a car's 

windscreen could help motorists avoid such a situation.

    The TowStop sticker sends a text message to a driver when touched by a traffic 

policeman, to allow motorists to send a reply and give them time to move their cars 

immediate?ly. Frankfurt-based IT consultant, Daniel Kalliontzis?came up with the idea 

and is raising money to put his £ 54 (£43) sticker into production.Car owners can put 

the sticker inside their car's wind?screen, having set it up with key information, such

as their phone number. The slim design will include a sensor(傳感器) that when touched

by a traffic policeman, will send a text message warning a driver of a possible fine. 

The driver could then type a reply for the policeman using a smart phone, which will 

appear on the sticker's screen.

    The smart sticker system will rely on the good will of traffic policemen and in 

a way,a German law. The law states: an officer has to choose the most efficient and 

inexpensive way for the car owner to remove the vehicle. It could be chea?per for the 

government to call the driver than to tow his car.

    Mail Online asked the Department of Transport whether the sticker could be used 

in the UK in a similar way. A spokesman said," In England there is no legal duty to 

warn the motorist before issuing the ticket. However, a policeman does have the 

discretion not to issue a ticket if he doesn't think the situation is that bad or he 

just wants to issue a warning."

    So far,Mr Kalliontzis has raised just over 362) of his ?50,000(£39,381) goal. 

If he manages to raise the money, the stickers will be shipped. But it appears that 

car owners using the smart system could get some unnecessary warning messages, because

anyone could touch the smart sticker.

1.The author wrote the third paragraph to .

A.explain how a smart car sticker works

B.advise drivers to buy a car sticker

C.show the importance of a sensor

D.tell drivers how to park a car

2.We may infer from the text that in Britain .

A. car owners don't have to worry about a parking ticket

B.smart car stickers wouldn't work as well as in Germa?ny

C.traffic policemen prefer to call a driver rather than tow his car

D.the Department of Transport thinks highly of smart car stickers

3.The underlined word " discretion" in Paragraph 5 can best be replaced by " ,,.

A. trouble B. pressure

C.  freedom D. opportunity

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A.Daniel Kalliontzis―a great inventor

B.Environment-friendly car stickers

C.Parking systems in Europe

D.End of the parking ticket?

The kitchen is one of the most important parts of the house. You may think that, since it's only used for cooking, there's no need to pay much attention to its colour. 9 Colour influences people's mood and creates an atmosphere, and surely you want to be in a good mood when you're cook-ing.

To decorate a kitchen, first look for a theme which will then influence the colour scheme (方案).The most common colours in kitchens are white, yellow and other light colours. Kitchens are usually painted in one colour to create a clean and neat look. 10  Also, since kitchens tend to have smaller windows, the light colours help make it brighter. Neutral colours such as grey and cream can also be used to create some contrast.

11 Start with your favourite colour, or two light col?ours that balance each other. Make sure that you test them thoroughly first so that you can be sure they'll actually work. For more adventurous kitchen owners? three colours next to each other can also work. But these need to be carefully chosen, because one wrong colour can ruin the whole look of the kitchen.

When the kitchen colour scheme has been chosen, other elements must be considered. Some important things, such as cupboards, in the kitchen can affect its look. Tiles (瓷磚) and the floor must be chosen to fit the look. 12

Last but not least, no matter what colour scheme you use, make sure that it really is the one you want. 13

A.     Many people want to decorate their kitchens with bright colours.

B.     Different colours have different effects on people's mood.

C.     Otherwise, get advice from other members of the family.

D.     The light colours make the room seem bigger than it is.

E.     There are different ways to create a colour scheme.

F.      In a word, kitchen decoration must go together with the colour scheme,

G.     But in fact, the colour schemes of kitchens are as impor?tant as those of any other rooms.

INSTANT COLOUR TV

In 1962 there was only one TV channel inSweden, and it broadcast in black and white. The station's tech?nical expert?

Actual colour TV transmission only started to ap?pear in Sweden on April 1, 1970.

SAN SERRIFFE

最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

If you feel depressed, it's best to do something about it―depression doesn't just go away on its owts. In addition to getting help from a doctor or counsellor, here are four things you can do to feel better.

Exercise. Take a 15-to 30-minute walk every day―or dance, jog, or bike if you prefer. People who are depressed may not feel much like being active. 5 Once you get in the exercise habit, it won't take long to notice a difference in your mood.

Cherish yourself with good nutrition. Depression can af?fect appetite. One person may not feel like eating at all, but another might overeat. If depression has affected your eating, you'll need to be extra mindful of getting the right food.

  6 So eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and get regular meals (even if you don't feel hungry, try to eat something light, like a piece of fruit, to keep you going).

Identify troubles. 7 When you know what's got you feeling blue and why, talk about it with a caring friend. Talk?ing is a way to release the feelings and to receive some under?standing. If there's no one to tell, pouring your heart out to a journal works just as well.

 8 Depression affects a person's thoughts making everything seem dark, negative, and hopeless. If depression has you noticing only the negative, make an effort to notice the good things in life. Try to notice one thing, and then try to think of one more.  Consider your strengths ? gifts , or blessings. Most of all, don't forget to be patient with your?self. 9

A. Look on the bright side.

B. Take action to solve problems.

C. But make yourself do it anyway.

D. Depression takes time to heal.

E. Proper nutrition can influence a person's mood and ener?gy.

F. With depression, a person's creativity and sense of fun may seem blocked.

G. Try to make out any situations that have contributed to your depression.

A discussion about hiking had been held in our class. Some students think that hiking during vacations can make people feel healthier, fresher or more harmonious with the nature. They find themselves deep at?tracted by the beauty of nature. They can also be relaxing by walking in deep mountains. But nowadays some hikers even begin to explore the places people have ever been to, and accidents have happened now and then be?cause poor knowledge of hiking. Some hikers even lost their life. The other students in our class think not safe to organize such dangerous activities. They make sug?gestions which laws should be passed and hikers should be trained before they attend the activities.
