1.Imagine looking for your lost dog.You step into a cave(洞穴).But instead of the dog,you find beautiful cave paintings.You see paintings of horses,deer,and bison that are drawn in black,brown,red and yellow.Your first question would probably be"Who did this?"
This is what happened to four French boys in 1940.They found the Lascaux caves.The paintings the boys discovered in those caves are 17,000years old.They were drawn by the ancient people called Cro-Magnons.
Cro-Magnons looked much like people of today.They used tools,such as fishing nets.But their art was extremely good.The main cave at Lascaux is called the Great Hall of Bulls,which has a picture of bulls and horses in many colors.The largest animal is 18feet long.There are smaller animals,such as bison,stags(雄鹿) and a bear.There is also a strange spotted two-horned (兩只角的) animal.
To the left of the main cave are the most famous paintings that are the drawings of multicolored animals.One painting is called Little Horses.On the ceiling are horses and cows.The most unusual sight may be in the Shaft of the Dead Man where there is a thinoceros (犀牛),a carefully drawn dead man,a wounded bison and a bird.
Why did Cro-Magnon artists do these beautiful drawings on cave walls?Did the drawings call upon some magical power?Did the Cro-Magnon people hope that the drawings would bring good luck?There is one thing the paintings seem to tell us.The Cro-Magnons were interested in the world.They looked at beauty and they understood it.

21.The author uses the word"you"in the first paragraph toA.
A.pull the reader into the story   
B.make it clear that this is a true story
C.give the reader good directions to find the caves
D.compare present-day readers with the Cro-Magnon people
22.Most of the drawings in the caves are aboutD.
A.boys               B.tools       
C.dead men           D.a(chǎn)nimals
23.What is the main idea of the passage?C
A.Cave paintings are beautiful.
B.Who found the beautiful cave paintings.
C.The Lascanx caves hold ancient colorful paintings.
D.Drawings of horses are on the walls of the Lascaux caves.

解答 21-23:ADC
21   A.推理判斷題.第一段虛構(gòu)了一個以讀者為主人公的場景,目的就是為了引起讀者的閱讀興趣.故選A.
22   D.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三、四段which has a picture of bulls and horses in many colors.對壁畫的描述可知,洞內(nèi)的絕大多數(shù)壁畫是關(guān)于動物的.故選D.
23     C.主旨大意題.文章開頭指出了發(fā)現(xiàn)壁畫的過程,接下來的內(nèi)容描述了這些壁畫.只有C項能夠全面概括全文內(nèi)容.A項范圍太廣,且有些偏題; B、D兩項只是文中的細節(jié),不能概括全文.故選C.

點評 學(xué)生需要認真閱讀原文,把握文章大意,對文章脈絡(luò)有整體的了解,能仔細查找文中細節(jié),并能根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容進行合理的推測判斷.

11.We've always limited"screen time"at home:no screen time before two years of age,and only occasional educational DVDs after that.Researchers have found a connection between screen time and a host of behavioral and physical problems.Some children have become so addicted to iPads and other tablet devices (平板電腦裝置) that their parents have even sought out treatment.
So,should I be perturbed about the increasing dependence on technology in our schools?In addition to a weekly computer class,my first-grade daughter spends much of her instructional school day in front of the"smart board".And now,school districts across the country are talking about replacing textbooks with tablets.
There are several factors that need careful consideration.Important distinctions must be drawn between television screen time (yes,even educational programming),which is a mostly passive medium,and tablet screen time,which is more interactive (互動的).Another important factor is the age of the child.All people need human interaction,but babies and small children need it most of all.Studies have suggested that tablets may help improve reading and writing abilities in school-aged children,however,plus they help children with autism (a mental disorder) communicate.
Tablets in the classroom could replace expensive and heavy textbooks,allow children to make and read notes more easily,providing interactive functions and help track progress.When I was a child,I could hardly carry my backpack up my driveway-we could avoid a lot of back problems by using one light and thin tablet instead of huge textbooks.
Beyond common concerns (what happens if the tablet is lost,stolen or broken?),I do worry about that we are rushing toward a brave new world of technology without considering what we might lose.If our children spend too much time on tablets,they run the risk of becoming addicted and missing out on a lot of what the world has to offer,especially in a time when schools are cutting art,music and gym.Human brains need real-world connections,touchable sensations and even some downtime.Tablets can be a part of child's education,but we have to guard against these devices taking over.

29.The underlined word"perturbed"in Paragraph 2is closest in meaning to"D".
A.curious      B.happy      
C.excited      D.worried
30.According to Paragraph 3,allowing very young children to use tabletsB.
A.is worth a try
B.may be harmful
C.helps improve their learning skills
D.offers them more human interactions
31.The author mentions her childhood experience toC.
A.express her support for traditional education
B.stress the importance of taking notes
C.show the disadvantages of textbooks
D.describe her happy childhood
32.Which may be the author's opinion on tablets?A
A.They're helpful only in a limited way.
B.They are too expensive for most students.
C.They excite students'interest in learning.
D.They improve the effectiveness of education.

9.Willy,a merchant,returned home to his own country from a faraway continent,where he had succeeded in making a small fortune by hard work.He found on arriving at the port that all his relatives were having a large party.
He was in such a happy mood and the joy of the moment that he did not even bother changing his grey flannel(法蘭絨)suit which had become a little worn during the trip home.
When he entered the brilliantly lit room,his relatives and friends gave him a rather cold welcome because they had noticed his modest suit and immediately imagined that he had come back a poor man.
A young man who happened to be accompanying him was quite irritated  at this and said to Willy,"What a wonderful reception you have received from these people.They have not even the intention of shaking your hand after all these years that you have been away from home."
"Just wait and see!"whispered Willy,"They will soon change their looks!"Saying this he slipped a precious ring on his finger.All of a sudden the faces of all those present lit up and immediately Willy was surrounded by so many people that he didn't know what to do.A man shook his hand,a cousin threw his arms around him,and he had so many invitations from the people present that he thought he would be unable to make any other appointments for several years.
"Has this beautiful,precious ring of yours the power of magic people?"asked the young man.
"Oh,no!"replied Willy,"They see in this glittering diamond ring something that makes them think I am rich,and,unfortunately,they place wealth above everything else."
"What blind people!"exclaimed the young man."It is not the ring that has drawn them to you but their desire for riches.Is it possible to appreciate more a piece of yellow metal surrounded by little stones than the goodness of my Lord?And indeed how foolish are people who place their trust in riches rather than in virtues(美德)!"
28.In what way did Willy go to attend the party held by his relatives and friends?B
A.In a modest mood.
B.In travel-soiled clothes.
C.Wearing a precious jewel.
D.Without being accompanied.
29.The word"irritated"in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to"C".

30.According to the young man,people shouldD.
A.give up all the physical wealth  
B.a(chǎn)ppreciate more jewelry than goodness
C.observe carefully when judging a person 
D.a(chǎn)void being blinded by the desire for wealth
31.Which can be the best title of the passage?A
A.The Diamond Ring

11.When asked about happiness,we usually think of something extraordinary,an absolute delight,which seems to get rarer as we get older.
For kids,happiness has a magical quality.Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved(毫不掩飾的).
In the teenage years,the concept of happiness changes.Suddenly It's conditional on such things as excitement,love and popularity.I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.
In adulthood the things that bring deep joy-love,marriage,birth-also bring responsibility and the risk of loss.For adults,happiness is complex.
My definition of happiness is"the capacity for enjoyment".The more we can enjoy what we have,the happier we are.It's easy to overlook(忽視) the pleasure we get from the company of friends,the freedom to live where we please,and even good health.
I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday.First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself.Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing,which I love.When the kids and my husband came home,I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.
Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work.I don't think that my grandmother,who raised 14children,had much of either.She did have a network of close friends and family,and maybe this is what satisfied her most.
We,however,with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area,have turned happiness into one more thing we've got to have.We've so self-conscious about our"right"to it that it's making us miserable.So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success,without noticing that the people who have those things aren't necessarily happier.
Happiness isn't about what happens to us-it's about how we see what happens to us.It's the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative.It's not wishing for what we don't have,but enjoying what we do possess.
29.As people grow older,theyB.
A.care less about their happiness   
B.feel it harder to experience happiness
C.will take fewer risks in pursuing happiness       
D.tend to believe responsibility means happiness
30.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 5and 6?D
A.She cares little about her own health
B.She enjoys the freedom of traveling
C.She prefers getting pleasure from loneliness       
D.She is easily pleased by things in daily life
31.People who equal happiness with wealth and successA.
A.stress their right to happiness too much    
B.consider pressure something blocking their way
C.a(chǎn)re at a loss to make correct choices   
D.a(chǎn)re more likely to be happy
32.What can be concluded from the passage?C
A.Happiness lies in wealth
B.Each man is the servant of his own life
C.Happy is he who is content
D.Success leads to Happiness.
