I’ve always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed, but others had their own ways of showing care.

What I 23 most about visiting my boyfriend’s parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dining room as we 24 ate our meal. With so little conversation I was quick to 25 his family as cold. When we got into the 26 to go home, his father suddenly appeared. 27 , he began to wash his son’s windscreen. I could feel he is a caring man through the glass.

I learned another lesson about love a few years later. My father often 28 me early in the morning. “Buy Xerox. It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the phone. No pleasant 29 or inquiry about my life ,just financial instructions. This manner of his 30 me and we often quarreled. But one day, I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his 31 morning calls. The next time he called and told me to buy a stock, I 32 him.

When my soc ial style has conflicted with that of my friends, I’ve often felt 33 . For example, I always return phone calls 34 and regularly contact with my friends. I expect the same from them. I had one friend who rarely called, answering my messages with short e-mails. I rushed to the 35 : She wasn’t a good friend! My anger 36 as the holidays approached. But then she came to a gathering I 37 and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we did some window-shopping the previous month. I was 38 at her thoughtfulness, and regretful for how I’d considered her to be 39 . Clearly I needed to change my expectations of friends.

Far too often, I ignored their 40 expressions, eagerly expecting them to do things in my 41 .Over t he years, however, I’ve learned to 42 other persons, love signs.

第三节阅读理解（共8小题；每小题2分，满分16分）

A

The global financial crisis is likely to cause increased mental health problems and even suicides as people struggle to cope with poverty and unemployment, the World Health Organization warned Thursday.

Hundreds of millions of people worldwide are already affected by mental problems such as depression and bi-polar disorders (狂躁症) and the current market meltdown (崩溃) could exacerbate (恶化) feelings of despair among people easy to get such illnesses.

The United Nations agency said the impact could be especially marked for those living in low and middle income countries where access to treatment is often limited.

"We should not be surprised at the turbulence (动荡) and likely consequences of the current financial crisis. Now we are seeing a huge gap in taking care of people in great need," WHO director general Margaret Chan told a meeting of mental health experts.

"It should not come as a surprise that we continue to see more stresses, suicides and mental disorders," Chan warned.

Benedetto Saraceno, director of WHO's mental health and substance abuse department, said mental health disorders affect one in four people at some point in their lives.

Mental and nervous disorders are often chronic (慢性) and disabling, he said. Nearly 1 million people commit suicide worldwide every year, a large proportion of them young adults.

Asked about the financial crisis, Saraceno said "Poverty can be the consequence of such events, the debts, despair and sense of loss that may reach middle and lower classes. Even the poor can be affected by this crisis".

"There is a clear evidence that suicide is linked to financial disasters. I am not talking about the millionaire jumping out of the window but about poor people," he said. “The global crisis could be expected to affect the stability (稳定) of communities and families”, according to Saraceno.

( )43. According to the passage, the chief result of the worldwide financial crisis is that ______.

A. more people will be poorer

B. more people will suffer from mental problems

C. more people will be out of jobs

D. more people will commit suicide

( )44. The United Nations agency worried that ______.

A. more rich people would commit suicide

B. hundreds of millions of people in the world were already affected by mental problems

C. the current market meltdown could worsen feelings of despair

D. the financial crisis might especially influence developing or underdeveloped countries ( )45. It is implied that ______.

A. a mental disorder is a chronic disease

B. it will be surprising to see more people commit suicide

C. far more work should be done to help those who are mentally ill

D. many more young adults commit suicide worldwide than people of other ages

( )46. The best title for the passage is ______.

A. Mental Disorders Resulting From Global Financial Crisis

B. Consequence of Global Financial Crisis

C. Suicides as a Result of Market Meltdown

D. Chronic Mental Disorders

B

Is there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don't really hate them. But you do get really angry every time you think of them. If you don't overcome this anger, it can turn into bitterness.

Bitterness can occur when we can't forgive someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of working through the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. The bitterness shows when we constantly criticize the one who hurt us. We may think we are hurting that person, but we are really only hurting ourselves.

Bitterness is a harmful emotion that affects the whole body. It can lead to serious health problems such as high blood pressure. Bitterness can keep us from concentrating on important things. Finally, holding onto bitterness can hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry, negative person for very long.

Author Chuck Swindoll once said,"...life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we respond to it. "That means when someone hurts you, your response is more important than what happened. You can choose to let go of hurt, or you can hold on to hurt, which results in bitterness.

If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to handle it. Instead of denying your anger, admit it to yourself. Then see your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it. You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life. The best thing you can do is to forgive and forget. You probably can't completely put the act out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Let it go and move on. You'll enjoy better health and peace of mind.

( )47. What will happen if we don’t let go of anger?

A. We’ll put blame on others for no reason

B. A bitter feeling will develop in our mind

C. It will be hard to get rid of anger.

D. We will always be criticized and hurt.

( )48. What is the main idea of Paragraph Three?

A. Bitterness affects us physically.

B. Bitterness hurts relationships

C. The three side effects of bitterness

D. It’s a waste of time to hate others

( )49. The author advises us to do all the following EXCEPT ______.

A. to enjoy the hurt others suffer

B. to forgive the one who hurts us

C. to deal with your anger properly

D. to forget others’ rude behavior

( )50. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. The disadvantages of bitterness

B. How to forgive others

C. The causes of bitterness

D. How to overcome bitterness

I’m walking on a path in the forest in the Central African Republic. Unexpectedly, I’m face-to-face with the gorilla, who begins screaming at 2 top of her lungs. That makes her baby scream, and then a 400-pound male appears. He screams the 3 (loud) of all. The noise shakes the trees as the male beats his chest and charges toward me. I quickly lower myself, ducking my head to avoid 4 (look) directly into his eyes so he doesn’t feel 5 (challenge). My name is Mireya Mayor. I’m a 6 (science) who studies animals such as apes and monkeys. I was searching 7 these three western lowland gorillas I’d been observing. No one had seen them for hours, and my colleagues and I were worried. When the gorillas and I frightened each other, I was just glad to find 8 (they) alive. True to a gorilla’s unaggressive nature, the huge animal 9 (mean) me no real harm.

华美实验学校 高三英语限时训练（六） 第一部分阅读理解（共9小题；每小题2分，满分18分） 第一节: 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs. AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost ￡169.15 at https://www.wendangku.net/doc/266961369.html,. A week later, the same room cost ￡118.15. If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you?re looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as https://www.wendangku.net/doc/266961369.html,, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category. STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday. Don?t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge?s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was ￡95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was ￡75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just ￡62.95. LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city center buildings. A great example is the historic O?Neill Flat on Edinburgh?s Royal Mile, available for ￡420 for five days in late September, with rooms for four adults. GET ON A BIKE London?s …Boris bikes? have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmers that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs. Among the smaller cities with their own programmers are Newcastle (casual members pay around ￡1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or ￡5 per day). 1. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may ________. A. help travelers pass time B. attract lots of travelers to the UK C. allow travelers to make flexible plans D. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation 2. The passage shows that the O?Neill Flat ________. A. lies on the ground floor B. is located in central London

His mother had kept on hinting that there would be a big surprise for him during the vacation. Kevin took out his scrapbook (剪贴簿). The exams had just finished, and summer vacation had just started. Now he was free as a bird — free to draw, paint, play basketball, and watch television…anything he wanted to do. Suddenly, the doorbell rang, startling (使惊吓) him. It was his pain of a cousin, Max. “Hi!” screamed Max as he jumped on Kevin’s bed. “I have come to stay here for the holidays.” Kevin had never expected his mother’s surprise to be this bad. If this was the start of his vacation, then the next few weeks were going to be the worst experience of his life. The next few days were horrible for Kevin. After breakfast, Kevin decided to make a painting. Luckily, Max was not around. Kevin spread out all his art supplies and started painting some beautiful scenery. When he was doing the finishing touches, Max entered the room with a Pepsi bottle. He slipped on some water, spilling Pepsi all over the painting and totally ruining it. The next day was even worse. Everything was peaceful until the evening. It all started when Max put the dirty clothes in the washing machine. After some time, Kevin heard some strange sounds from the washing machine. He went to check and found that Max had put his best pair of shoes into the machine, along with the clothes. One day, Kevin was looking through the newspaper when some interesting news caught his attention. He read it aloud: “The world famous philatelist (集邮家) Dick Brown’s stamps were stolen last week from his house. Several other stamp robberies also have taken place, and police suspect that all the robberies are linked.” This piece of news concluded by warning all stamp collectors to keep their stamps safe.

One summer day 36 I was headed over to the administration building, I heard someone call my name. I 37 around and saw Philip, one of my colleagues standing with another young man.

浙江省杭州市萧山区第三高级中学高三英语限时训练1月日 含答案

A Famous centenarians (百岁老人) still active in arts, science are in no mood to retire. "Those who stand still, die," is one of Oliveira's favorite phrases. He knows from experience what it means, as the Portuguese film director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his profession. Every year, Oliveira shoots a film and is currently working on his next project. "You have to work, work, work in order to forget that death is not far away," he said. When asked about his age, Oliveira said with some humility: "It's down to mother nature. It gave to me what it took from others." Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to do with character. Not every white-haired person is wise and social skills, openness and the ability to train the brain are essential for senior citizens. Along with the architect Oscar Niemeyer (103), Nobel laureate Montalcini (101) and director Kurt Maetzig (100), Oliveira is one of those people of whom it would be very wrong to think as members of a listless elderly generation. Another master in his profession is the architect Oscar Niemeyer. The 103-year-old Brazilian is best known for his futuristic-looking（未来派的）buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the poor. "The role of the architect is to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of architecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged few," said Niemeyer recently. He spends almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on ideas: After a gallbladder (胆囊) operation he composed a samba tune (桑巴舞曲) in the clinic. Another man who could sing a song about age is 107-year-old Heesters. The Dutch-born opera singer spent most of his life performing in Germany, where he still works. Recently Heesters said: "I want to be at least 108-years-old." He also plans to keep performing. "Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?" Heesters has not given up trying to add to his tally of awards and is looking for a "good stage role". Italian scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini, who is 101-year-old and is still active in medical science, has described the force that keeps driving her on: "Progress is created through imperfection." In 1986 she and her lab colleague were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on nerve growth factor. She's convinced that humans grow on challenges.

限时规范练35(选修6Module5) 核心素养关键词:培养学生人与社会、克隆科技的素养能力意识 一、阅读理解 A The news that researchers have used cloning to make human embryos for the purpose of producing stem cells may have some people wondering if it would ever be possible to clone a person.Although it would be immoral,experts say it is likely biologically possible to clone a human being.Since the 1950s when researchers cloned a frog,scientists have cloned dozens of animal species,including mice,cats,sheep,pigs and cows. With mice,researchers are able to use thousands of eggs,and conduct many experiments,to work out these problems.“It’s a numbers game,” said Dr.Robert Lanza,the chief scientific officer at a biotech company.“But with primates (灵长类动物),eggs are very precious,and it is not easy to get them to conduct experiments.” In addition,researchers can’t simply apply what they’ve learned from cloning mice or cows to cloning people.Cloning an animal requires that researchers remove proteins that are necessary to help cells divide.In mice,this isn’t a problem,because the embryo that is created is able to make these proteins again.But primates aren’t able to do this,and researchers think it may be one reason that attempts to clone monkeys have failed. What’s more,cloned animals often have different kinds of abnormalities.These abnormalities are common because cloned embryos have just one parent rather than two,which means that a process known as “imprinting (印记)” does not occur properly in cloned embryos. “Problems with imprinting can result in extremely large embryos,which leads to problems with blood flow for the baby,” Lanza said.“The extremely high rate of death and the developmental abnormalities from cloning make cloning people immoral.It’s like sending your baby up in a rocket knowing there’s a 50-50 chance that it’s going to explode.” 1.What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A.Animal cloning is illegal. B.Human cloning is possible. C.Human embryos may have new functions. D.Animal embryos can be used for medicine. 2.How does the author develop Paragraph 2? A.By making comparisons. B.By showing processes. C.By offering analyses. D.By using statistics. 3.How were the experiments on cloning monkeys?
