阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

When I asked my daughter which item she would keep: the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.

Point 1: The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?

Point 2: The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance (救护车) to her rescue. Point 3 : The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at a time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went.

Point 4: The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says,“We worked in separate offlees but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near- but we didn't meet for the first two weeks!”

Point 5: The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously (at the same time) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn' t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they're space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.

56. How do you understand “Point 1 : The telephone creates the need to communicate”?

A. People don't communicate without telephone.

B. People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.

C. People communicate more since telephone has been created.

D. People communicate more because of more traffic.

57. Which of the following best shows people's attitude towards mobile phones?

A. Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency (紧急情况).

B. Mobile phones bring convenience as well as little secret to people.

C. Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.

D. Mobile phones are part of people' s life.

58. Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve people's life?

a. Point 1 b. Point2 c. Point3 d. Point 4 e. Point 5

A.c, d B. a, e C. a, e D. b, e

59. It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously through _______.

A. the TV screen B. a fax machine

C. the phone line hooked up to the computer D. a microphone

60. The best headline for the passage is .

A. Phone Power B. Kinds of Phone C. How to Use Phones D. Advantage of Phones

B

Read the following two advertisements and answer the questions below:

《黄冈市优秀文章 学会感恩(5篇)》

学 会 感 恩

学会感恩，因为这会使世界更美好，使生活更加充实。集体温暖开头：雷锋叔叔曾经懂得珍惜，阳光将洒遍心灵，懂得珍惜，晚风将拂过心灵，让我们的心灵那么温暖

爱，还要会爱

九（1）班

时间总是在不经意间从指间滑落，往昔的格子上总已爬满了蜘蛛的足迹。回头望一望硌得脚生疼的鹅卵石，到底是谁陪你一起走过。停下脚步，想一想被妈妈爱过的痕迹。

小时候上幼儿园，妈妈总是两点一线的接送我回家，而我也总是满心欢喜的投入那温暖的怀抱。可是，一天下午放学后，望着越来越黑的天，越刮越大的风，看着自己的小伙伴被自己的爸爸妈妈一一接走，却始终都没有看见那个熟悉的身影。无可奈何的我只好选择独自回家。踏着泥泞的小路，没有方向感的我凭借着自己仅剩的意识艰难的回到了家。走进家门，妈妈仅用一句话就打发了我“你得学会自己走。”没有关心，没有呵护，只有无助，我冲进房间大哭，哭她的狠心。

步入初中，摆脱束缚，可挑食的我二顿不吃一餐补。久而久之，胃病便免不了要找上我。一发作，便不可收拾，痛得满地打滚。妈妈便给我买了胃药，可经常持也不是办法，而她也不同

意我吃，说：“吃多了，你会对这药产生依赖的。”便每次都熬很苦的中草药给我吃，或是让我忍。我没有反驳，或许我应经习惯了她的狠心。

而现在，我上初三了，我的胃病很少发，或许是那起了作用。

如今，当我面对困难时，我不会慌，而是冷静思考解决的方法；当我遇到挫折时，我不会停在原地，因为我知道，一时的挫折并不代表永远的失败，暴风雨后一定会是艳阳天；当我获得称赞时，我不会骄傲，因为那是过去，我要的事更高的追求；面对朋友之间的矛盾，我也有自己处理的方法……而我此案在也才知道妈妈的良苦用心，其实妈妈的狠心也是一种爱，让我懂得怎样面对人生，怎样面对今后的路，怎样面对世界。

爱，不要需求太多，也不要问是什么，其实都在身边，一点一滴的小事，看似微不足道，其实那融融爱意就在里面啊！

点评：这是一篇写“母爱”的文章。作者选材独特，通过写母亲对我的“狠心”来反衬母亲的一片爱心，让我在爱的滋润下也理解了母亲的“良苦用心”，从而更好的扣住文题——爱，还要会爱。小作者文笔细腻，感情真挚，值得学习。

指导老师：

爱，还要会爱

九（1）班

爱，是人的一种天性。爱不仅要讲究方式，还要掌握分寸，这样才能笑到极致。

我们从小就离不开父母的关爱，在他们的呵护下，我们健康成长，我们每个人的父母不同，父母爱的方式也不同，这些爱有 时会是孩子变得傲慢无礼，唯我独尊，所以正确的爱很关键。 那是个周末，我漫无目的地走在小区间，忽然，不远处的两位年轻妈妈吸引了我的注意力，他们正在草坪上训练孩子们走路，小宝宝们大概一岁左右。我忍不住停下脚步驻足观看，只见两位妈妈准备就绪，正准备防守之际，一个红衣妈妈说：“要是磕着了怎么办？”另一位妈妈笑笑道：“不让他来磨练磨练，何时才能学会走路，你要学会放手。“红衣妈妈似懂非懂地点了点头。一、二、三，两位妈妈一起放手，两个宝贝没有利了妈妈的扶助，都颤颤地扭动着身子，失去了妈妈的庇护，他们都有些手足无措。果然，没过多久，一个小宝贝突然重心不稳，“啪”地摔在地上，另一个也像是被传染了一样也摔倒在地。红衣妈妈不由名说立马扑到自家孩子身上，摸摸这儿，拍拍那儿，一副心疼得不得了的样子。另一位妈妈呆在原地一动不动，只听见她一直喊：“宝贝，站起来，到妈妈这儿来。”宝宝像是受到感染般，爬起来，直直地朝怀里跑去，妈妈兴奋地摸摸他的头，夕阳照在她的脸上，幸福之情溢于言表，我热情地向他们打了招呼。知道再次见到他们时，他们呢还是那样，呆着各自的孩子，一路说笑。

只是不同的是，一个宝贝是被妈妈牵着走，而另一个则是被塞入小推车里的。一路上，走路的孩子活蹦乱跳，而坐车的孩子只能坐在小推车里自娱自乐。夕阳下，他们四个人成了我眼中一副滑稽的剪影。

当今社会，一些父母过度溺爱孩子，如果从小就培养孩子吃苦耐劳的精神，就不会有今天的“小皇帝”，“小公主”。如果从小我教孩子尊老爱幼，尊师重道，就不会有现在的孩子的任性，骄横，傲慢无礼。这都是什么造成的？这些都是溺爱造成的结果。

没有一个父母不爱自己的孩子，同样孩子也 需要父母的爱，不过，父母给予孩子的爱要是正确的，才能使孩子走上正确的道路，如果爱你的孩子，请你教会孩子阳城良好的习惯；如果爱你的孩子，请教会孩子生存的能力吧。

点评：文章叙事明理，从两位母亲对待孩子的不同态度，让我们明白了一个道理，爱是讲究方式的，不但要爱，更要会爱，小故事，大道理。

指导老师：

爱，还要会爱

九（3）班黄冈叶茂

阳光给大地带来了光明温暖，但阳光太大也会把植物晒焦；雨水给植物带来了滋润，但雨水太多也会把植物淹死；爱，能催人奋起，给人力量，但溺爱百害而无一利。因此，爱要讲究方式；爱要黄酒分寸；爱还要会爱。

曾听说过这样一个故事：有个人养了一只小鸟，由于从小鸟儿就被人养在笼子之中，便慢慢地丧失了鸟儿原有的能力。有一天，鸟儿从笼中飞走了，这个人也没有在意，觉得鸟儿在大自然中也许会过得更好。几天后，这个人却在山上发现了小鸟的尸体。这个人很疑惑，便去请教猎人。猎人对他说：“正是你对它的百般呵护，才酿成眼前的惨剧！”

在生活中，我觉得有许许多多类似的“小鸟”，他们从小便被父母百般呵护，衣来伸手，饭来张口，是一个个“小皇帝”，“小公主”，要什么就有什么，就是在父母的保护下成长了起来。他们不知道什么事“苦”，什么是失败。因此他们的自我动手能力和心理承受能力都十分脆弱，遭受一点小小的困难便束手无策。这都是由于父母对子女的过分溺爱造成的。

翻过来看一看外国父母教育子女的方法：在美国，五六岁的小朋友都自觉地去做一些力所能及的事。十八周岁以后，父母不再承担子女的学费，而让子女通过勤工俭学等方式解决。这就充分说明了外国父母重视对子女自我动手能力及各方面综合素质的培养，这正是美国为何迅速发展的一个重要原因。

A

Tuvalu, a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, had asked for help as it fears it will be swallowed up (淹没) by the sea.

Storms and huge waves are a repeated threat (威胁) and none of Tuvalu's nine little islands is more than five meters above sea level. Salt water is already entering the country’s drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetables. Without urgent (紧急) help, the country's days are numbered.

But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea. Venice, a historic city in Italy best known for its canals (运河), has sunk about 24 cm over the past 100 years. Experts say that it will have sunk another 20 – 50 cm by 2050. A century ago, St. Mark' s Square, the lowest point in the city, was flooded about nine times a year. Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times. While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, Tuvalu's rising sea level is caused by global (全球的) warming.

The average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 degree centigrade over the past century; scientists expect it to rise by extra 1 – 3 degrees over the next 100 years.

Warmer weather makes glaciers (冰川) melt, adding more water to the ocean. The warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up mare space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen about 10 – 25 cm in the last 100 years.

The main cause of global warming is human pollution. Through burning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (大气), such as CO2. This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer.

Many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes. The sea level could rise by one meter this century.

Should this come true, the sea will swallow up millions of homes and the world will be flooded with “ looking for somewhere to live. A. Tuvalu is in danger of being swallowed up by the sea

B. all Tuvalu's islands are about five meters above the sea level

Business activities are becoming increasingly worldwide as many firms spread their operations into markets abroad. Many U.S. firms, for example, are trying to enlarge markets by doing business in China, India, Latin America, and Russia and other Eastern European countries. Multinational Corporations ( MNCs ), which operate in more than one country, at once, especially move operations to wherever they can find the least expensive employees who are able to do the work well. Production jobs requiring only basic or repetitive skills — such as sewing, computer pieces — are usually the first to be moved abroad. MNCs can pay these workers a small part of what they would have to pay in their countries, and often work them longer and harder. Most U.S. multinational businesses keep the majority of their upper level management, marketing and finance within the United States. They employ some lower level managers and a large number of

第一节 （共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项 （A 、B 、C 和 D ）中，选出最佳选项，并 在题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

In 1970, my five brothers, my sister and I lived in the housing projects of Toronto with our parents. My father was a factory worker, and my mother stayed at home. Each year my father would dress up as Santa Claus and go through the streets of the projects sharing joy and candies with the children there. He loved it as much as they did!

But around the Christmas in 1970, my father was out of his job and money was tight. In fact, there was no money for Christmas and my parents weren't sure what they'd provide for us.

That Christmas Eve, however, as usual, my father left the house dressed as Santa Claus. He knew that even though our Christmas would be hard, he could not disappoint the other kids in the neighborhood.

As my father left the house and went down the walkway, Santa Claus was walking up, with a great sack full of gifts for us! He said nothing, only smiled a sweet smile at my father, and wished him a Merry Christmas. The happy man handed Dad the sack and walked away down the block. We never knew who the man was and who showed us great kindness on a snowy Christmas night. We do know, however, that without him we would have had nothing under the tree. His kindness gave my parents hope and showed us in a very real way the true meaning of Christmas. Our family has never forgotten this kind stranger. Each year we tell the story of the mysterious Santa Claus and try to repay his gifts by giving gifts to others in need.

Usually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of correct answers. That question is ―What's your name?‖ Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.

Have you ever wondered about people's names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?

People's first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.

Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means ―bright‖; Beatrice means ―one who gives happiness‖; Donald means ―world ruler‖; Leonard means ―as brave as a lion‖.

The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook（小溪)；someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.

Other early surnames came from people's occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter — a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter — a person who made pots and pans.

The ancestors(祖先) of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter's great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture. Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.

Some family names were made by adding something to the father's name. English-speaking people added –s or –Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O'Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.

24. Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover(涉及)?

A. Places where people lived. B. People's characters.

C. Talents that people had. D. People's occupations.

A. owned or drove a cart B. made things with metals

C. made kitchen tools or containers D. built houses and furniture

26. Suppose an English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named A. Beatrice Smith B. Leonard Carter

C. George Longstreet D. Donald Greenwood

27. The underlined word ―descendants‖ in the last paragraph means a person's A. later generations B. friends and relatives

C. colleagues and partners D. later rulers

C

Looking back on my childhood, I get to believe that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon threw away their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic(算术).

Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the unclear memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and, above all, the insects.

I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations(调查). I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people's observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you

wonder you see the answer to the riddle(迷), because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.

But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist; one of the outstanding qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist requires not only self-discipline but hard training, determination and a goal. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.

28. The first paragraph tells us that the author .

A. was born to a naturalist's family

B. lost his hearing when he was a child

C. didn't like his brothers and sisters

D. was interested in flowers and insects

29. The author can't remember his relatives clearly because A. he didn't live long with them

B. he was fully busy observing nature

C. the family was too large to remember

D. he was too young when he lived with them

30. It can be inferred from the passage that the author was actually .

A. a naturalist but not a scientist

B. more a good observer than a listener

C. no more than a born naturalist

D. a scientist as well as a naturalist

31. The author says he's a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he A. lacks some of the qualities required of a scientist

B. he couldn't do mental arithmetic

C. he was brought up in a family of farmers

D. he was not knowledgeable enough

D

Do you ever wonder why the English have one word for some animals and a different one for their meat? Why do they use pig and pork, cow and beef, and sheep and mutton? To find out, we have to go back to 1066, when the Norman French invaded England and put a French king on the English throne(王位)which not only changed the government but also changed the language. French became the language of the upper classes of society. And it remained that way for 300 years. Only these high society people could afford to eat meat. As a result, French words like porc(pork) and beouf(beef) came into the English language. However, poor English farmers raised the animals. So the English language the words pig and cow from the Native Anglo-Saxon.

The Norman French added about 10,000 French words to the English language. Seventy-five percent of them are still in use today.

Language experts estimate that English speakers who have never studied French already know 15,000 French words! Between one-third and two-thirds of all English words have French origins. Some words such as ―possible‖ and ―avenue‖ are the same in French and English; only the pronunciations change. Other words such as ―ballet‖ or ―a la carte‖(照菜单点菜) retain their French pronunciations in both languages.

In French grammar, nouns have either a male or female gender(性别), so adjectives take different forms for each. English has only one adjective that does this, and it came from French.
