(2014·滁州市高三年級(jí)適應(yīng)性考試)Moving to a new neighborhood, town, state, or even country can be a pretty scary experience. All you know is that things will be different and chances are you won't know the kids at your new school.
The experiences that go with moving make many kids feel nervous and worried. This is perfectly normal but don't let these emotions overrun your thoughts! You will soon get used to your surroundings and find new friends at your new school.
Leaving old friends and familiar places behind can be difficult. However, as you begin the moving process, keep in mind that saying goodbye to your old house, school, and friends does not mean that you have to forget them or that your farewell is permanent! If you're moving to a new state or even a different country and won't see your friends for a long time, don't despair. Make sure to ask everyone for their address so you can write them letters. Also, thanks to the Internet, it is very easy to stay in touch through email or instant messaging technologies. With your parent's permission, you can even create a blog or web page to chronicle all of your new experiences. Include your thoughts, tales of your new adventures, even pictures of new friends, your new house, and new town. Your old friends will love seeing what you are busy with.
Many schools have an orientation program where a student already established at the school shows a new student around for their first week. This can help you to find your way around the school and to make new friends faster.
While moving is tough on kids of any age, high school counselor Karen Turner says moves can be particularly difficult for teens. “I think moving during adolescents is an extremely stressful experience, especially if you are into your junior high or senior year. Students tend to have established a very strong peer network during that period in their lives. Often this has more influence on them even than their families in some cases, and when they are torn from that there's often resentment (怨氣).” However, Turner adds that while moving isn't easy, there are things that your parents and the school can do to help you cope with the change.
1.Who are the intended readers of the passage?
A.Education experts. B.School teachers.
C.Parents. D.Students.
2.Which of the following is mainly suggested in Paragraph 3?

C.Forming good habits at school.
D.Keeping positive about your new school.
3.According to the passage, an orientation program ________.
A.helps local students in many ways
B.is organized by new students
C.offers help to new students
D.focuses on all the students at school
4.If this passage continues, what would the author further discuss?
A.What a new school is like.

(2014·揚(yáng)州中學(xué)模擬)Aggressive pedestrians are in fact as dangerous as careless drivers. They cause traffic accidents, injury and death.
These dangerous walkers can be seen in any big city all over the world. About 69% of last year's pedestrian deaths in the US occurred in urban areas. They cross
streets ignoring “DON'T WALK” signals, suddenly appear without warning from behind parked vehicles, walk slowly at crossroads with cell phones attached to heads, blocking traffic.
These pedestrians and drivers share a common disregard for the rules of the road, both for selfish reasons. The drivers believe in the power of their machines. If their machines can go faster, they believe they have the right to go faster. If their machines are bigger, they believe they have the right to push smaller vehicles aside. Aggressive pedestrians, on the other hand, believe in the primacy (首位) of the individual, the idea that they are first in any environment, under any circumstances, even when they are on foot in a roaring tide of steel and rubber.
Last year, an estimated 5,220 pedestrians died in traffic accidents. Some 69,000 pedestrians were injured. On average, that worked out to one pedestrian killed in a traffic crash every 101 minutes, and one injured every eight minutes.
The good news is that the accident rate is dropping. For example, the number of pedestrians killed last year was 24 percent less than the number killed in traffic accidents a decade earlier. The bad news is that the basic causes of pedestrian deaths remain pretty much the same — disregard for traffic signals, inattention and crossing roads under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Alcohol, in fact, was involved in 46 percent of the traffic accidents that resulted in pedestrian deaths. Of those, 31 percent of the pedestrians were found to be drunk.
The bottom line is that the pedestrians must do more to protect their lives as well as the lives of other road users. They can start by obeying traffic signals, using marked crosswalks and calling a cab when they've had too much to drink.
5.The passage is mainly about ________.
A.how aggressive pedestrians cause traffic accidents
B.why so many Americans were killed on roads last year
C.what the traffic rules of the road about pedestrians were
D.who are to blame for pedestrian deaths, drunk drivers or the aggressive pedestrians
6.What is the pedestrians' selfish reason for traffic jams?
A.They know all drivers are skilled and with great care.
B.They believe individuals are always first.
C.They think traffic rules have nothing to do with them.
D.They guess all vehicles will slow down at crossroads.
7.What was NOT the basic cause of pedestrian deaths in the US a decade ago?
A.Disregard for traffic signals.
B.Paying no attention to surroundings.
C.Crossing roads drunk.
D.Overspeeding driving.
8.What word can best describe the author's attitude to the traffic accidents caused by pedestrians?
A.Excited. B.Cold.
C.Concerned. D.Unconnected.

(2014·江西省重點(diǎn)中學(xué)協(xié)作體第一次聯(lián)考)Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and selfrespect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as “honor” help you create this life of good feelings.
Here is an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk's mistake, we would drive home with a sense of mean excitement. Later we might tell our family of friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
In the first case, where we don't tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and selfrespect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing_the_error_to_the_clerk's_attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our selfrespect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it's easy to think and act honorably again when we're happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it's started, it's easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.
1.According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our ________.
A.selfrespect B.financial rewards
C.advertising ability D.friendly relationship
2.The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to ________.
A.lying B.stealing
C.cheating D.advertising
3.The underlined phrase “bringing the error to the clerk's attention” means ________.
A.telling the truth to the clerk
B.offering advice to the clerk
C.asking the clerk to be more attentive
D.reminding the clerk of the charged item
4.How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake?
A.We'll be very excited.
B.We'll feel unfortunate.
C.We'll have a sense of honor.
D.We'll feel sorry for the clerk.
5.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A.How to Live Truthfully
B.Importance of Peacefulness
C.Ways of Gaining Selfrespect
D.Happiness through Honorable Actions

5.選C 句意：在南非，英語是黑人家長們希望他們的孩子受教育時(shí)所采用的語言。the language 是先行詞，關(guān)系詞在定語從句中作狀語，相當(dāng)于in English。故選C。

6.選B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句中“Aggressive pedestrians, on the other hand, believe in the primacy (首位) of the individual”可知，行人過分強(qiáng)調(diào)自我而無視交通規(guī)則從而導(dǎo)致車禍，故答案選B。

8.選C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段可知，作者提出了解決這些問題的辦法，由此可知，作者對于因?yàn)樾腥嗽斐傻慕煌ㄊ鹿时硎緭?dān)心，故答案選C。

Ⅰ.語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了作者在乘火車去投遞個(gè)人簡歷的途中，把裝簡歷的信封弄丟了，本來已經(jīng)不抱任何希望了，幾周之后他卻收到面試通知并且得到了那份工作。作者想對幫他郵寄簡歷的人說：“你的小小善舉對我卻意義重大，謝謝你?！?BR> 1.C ：this指的是作者與老板關(guān)系緊張這件事，C，put up with“”。look up“”;take up“”;come up with“”，。
2.選A 由語境知，作者辭職時(shí)很沖動(dòng)，并沒做好準(zhǔn)備，現(xiàn)在手邊又沒有其他的工作，所以現(xiàn)在作者心里應(yīng)是焦慮的。故選A。hopeless語氣太重，不符合題意。
3.選D 句意：然后，有一天早晨我發(fā)現(xiàn)了一則招聘廣告需要我這樣的人。A項(xiàng)意為“解雇”，與語境不符，可排除;B項(xiàng)意為“雇用”，為過去時(shí)，表示已經(jīng)受雇了，也不符合語境;C項(xiàng)意為“想念”，與語境不符。D項(xiàng)意為“尋找”，符合語境。故選D。
4.選B 由下文語境并結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知，作者要去應(yīng)聘，自己的簡歷當(dāng)然要打印得很整潔。故選B。
5.選A 根據(jù)下文“to get to the post office”可知，信封是要郵出去的，應(yīng)在信封上寫好寄信人和收信人的地址。
6.選C 根據(jù)上文“the post office”可知，作者在郵局可以把信封稱重量，蓋戳，然后寄出去。故選C。
7.選D 由語境可知，作者下了火車，加入到上班一族的人群中走出車站，來到大街上。join意為“加入”，符合句意。故選D。
8.選B 根據(jù)下文提到作者回去找信封可知，作者的信封不見了。missing是形容詞，意為“失蹤的，缺少的”，符合題意。故選B。
9.選A 根據(jù)下句“The train was still there.”和下文語境可知，作者因?yàn)榘l(fā)現(xiàn)信封丟失而原路返回尋找，因?yàn)槭莿倓傁铝嘶疖囯x開車站，所以只有站臺(tái)(platform)符合邏輯。故選A。
10.選C 根據(jù)上文可知，信封不見了，返回自己曾坐過的那節(jié)車廂的目的是為了找信封，因此search符合題意，故選C。a look of意為“……的表情”，不符合語境，可排除。
11.選D 根據(jù)下文可知，他是等火車離開后再看看鐵軌上有沒有信封，所以選擇impatiently，意為“不耐煩地”，表示作者當(dāng)時(shí)焦急的心情。作者并不是漫無目的地亂找，aimlessly“漫無目的地”，可排除。信封丟失后，找不到信封，作者的心情應(yīng)該是焦急的，而不是生氣或興奮。
12.選B 根據(jù)空后的敘述：找不到信封，回家后坐在打字機(jī)旁邊再打一份簡歷寄出去可知，這一系列行為都是符合人的正常做事邏輯的。logically“符合邏輯地”，符合語境。
13.選A 根據(jù)空前的“bad”和下文“so I gave up”可推知，作者認(rèn)為求職路上丟掉信封是不好的征兆，所以選擇sign。fortune意為“運(yùn)氣”，為不可數(shù)名詞，不能用冠詞修飾，可排除。mark意為“標(biāo)志，記號(hào)”，不符合邏輯。
14.選C 根據(jù)下文語意和選項(xiàng)可知，應(yīng)是三周后卻“收到”了一封來信。receive“(客觀上)收到”，符合題意。
15.選D 根據(jù)作者在找工作這個(gè)語境和空后的“the company's managing director”可知，作者是去見這位主任面試。故選D。
16.選A 由語境知，作者把裝簡歷的信封丟失后，決定放棄了，卻收到面試的邀請信，應(yīng)該感到非常吃驚。
17.選C 根據(jù)上文“got the job”和下文“as deputy general manager”可推知，C項(xiàng)正確。A、B兩項(xiàng)是終止性動(dòng)詞，在肯定句中是不能和until連用的，故排除。

(2014·滁州市高三年級(jí)適應(yīng)性考試)Moving to a new neighborhood, town, state, or even country can be a pretty scary experience. All you know is that things will be different and chances are you won't know the kids at your new school.
The experiences that go with moving make many kids feel nervous and worried. This is perfectly normal but don't let these emotions overrun your thoughts! You will soon get used to your surroundings and find new friends at your new school.
Leaving old friends and familiar places behind can be difficult. However, as you begin the moving process, keep in mind that saying goodbye to your old house, school, and friends does not mean that you have to forget them or that your farewell is permanent! If you're moving to a new state or even a different country and won't see your friends for a long time, don't despair. Make sure to ask everyone for their address so you can write them letters. Also, thanks to the Internet, it is very easy to stay in touch through email or instant messaging technologies. With your parent's permission, you can even create a blog or web page to chronicle all of your new experiences. Include your thoughts, tales of your new adventures, even pictures of new friends, your new house, and new town. Your old friends will love seeing what you are busy with.
Many schools have an orientation program where a student already established at the school shows a new student around for their first week. This can help you to find your way around the school and to make new friends faster.
While moving is tough on kids of any age, high school counselor Karen Turner says moves can be particularly difficult for teens. “I think moving during adolescents is an extremely stressful experience, especially if you are into your junior high or senior year. Students tend to have established a very strong peer network during that period in their lives. Often this has more influence on them even than their families in some cases, and when they are torn from that there's often resentment (怨氣).” However, Turner adds that while moving isn't easy, there are things that your parents and the school can do to help you cope with the change.
1.Who are the intended readers of the passage?
A.Education experts. B.School teachers.
C.Parents. D.Students.
2.Which of the following is mainly suggested in Paragraph 3?
A.Staying in contact with old friends.
B.Expressing yourself when it is possible.
C.Forming good habits at school.
D.Keeping positive about your new school.
3.According to the passage, an orientation program ________.
A.helps local students in many ways
B.is organized by new students
C.offers help to new students
D.focuses on all the students at school
4.If this passage continues, what would the author further discuss?
A.What a new school is like.

(2014·揚(yáng)州中學(xué)模擬)Aggressive pedestrians are in fact as dangerous as careless drivers. They cause traffic accidents, injury and death.
These dangerous walkers can be seen in any big city all over the world. About 69% of last year's pedestrian deaths in the US occurred in urban areas. They cross
streets ignoring “DON'T WALK” signals, suddenly appear without warning from behind parked vehicles, walk slowly at crossroads with cell phones attached to heads, blocking traffic.
These pedestrians and drivers share a common disregard for the rules of the road, both for selfish reasons. The drivers believe in the power of their machines. If their machines can go faster, they believe they have the right to go faster. If their machines are bigger, they believe they have the right to push smaller vehicles aside. Aggressive pedestrians, on the other hand, believe in the primacy (首位) of the individual, the idea that they are first in any environment, under any circumstances, even when they are on foot in a roaring tide of steel and rubber.
Last year, an estimated 5,220 pedestrians died in traffic accidents. Some 69,000 pedestrians were injured. On average, that worked out to one pedestrian killed in a traffic crash every 101 minutes, and one injured every eight minutes.
The good news is that the accident rate is dropping. For example, the number of pedestrians killed last year was 24 percent less than the number killed in traffic accidents a decade earlier. The bad news is that the basic causes of pedestrian deaths remain pretty much the same — disregard for traffic signals, inattention and crossing roads under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Alcohol, in fact, was involved in 46 percent of the traffic accidents that resulted in pedestrian deaths. Of those, 31 percent of the pedestrians were found to be drunk.
The bottom line is that the pedestrians must do more to protect their lives as well as the lives of other road users. They can start by obeying traffic signals, using marked crosswalks and calling a cab when they've had too much to drink.
5.The passage is mainly about ________.
A.how aggressive pedestrians cause traffic accidents
B.why so many Americans were killed on roads last year
C.what the traffic rules of the road about pedestrians were
D.who are to blame for pedestrian deaths, drunk drivers or the aggressive pedestrians
6.What is the pedestrians' selfish reason for traffic jams?
A.They know all drivers are skilled and with great care.
B.They believe individuals are always first.
C.They think traffic rules have nothing to do with them.
D.They guess all vehicles will slow down at crossroads.
7.What was NOT the basic cause of pedestrian deaths in the US a decade ago?
A.Disregard for traffic signals.
B.Paying no attention to surroundings.
C.Crossing roads drunk.
D.Overspeeding driving.
8.What word can best describe the author's attitude to the traffic accidents caused by pedestrians?
A.Excited. B.Cold.
C.Concerned. D.Unconnected.

(2014·江西省重點(diǎn)中學(xué)協(xié)作體第一次聯(lián)考)Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and selfrespect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as “honor” help you create this life of good feelings.
Here is an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk's mistake, we would drive home with a sense of mean excitement. Later we might tell our family of friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
In the first case, where we don't tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and selfrespect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing_the_error_to_the_clerk's_attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our selfrespect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it's easy to think and act honorably again when we're happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it's started, it's easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.
1.According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our ________.
A.selfrespect B.financial rewards
C.advertising ability D.friendly relationship
2.The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to ________.
A.lying B.stealing
C.cheating D.advertising
3.The underlined phrase “bringing the error to the clerk's attention” means ________.
A.telling the truth to the clerk
B.offering advice to the clerk
C.asking the clerk to be more attentive
D.reminding the clerk of the charged item
4.How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake?
A.We'll be very excited.
B.We'll feel unfortunate.
C.We'll have a sense of honor.
D.We'll feel sorry for the clerk.
5.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A.How to Live Truthfully
B.Importance of Peacefulness
C.Ways of Gaining Selfrespect
D.Happiness through Honorable Actions

5.選C 句意：在南非，英語是黑人家長們希望他們的孩子受教育時(shí)所采用的語言。the language 是先行詞，關(guān)系詞在定語從句中作狀語，相當(dāng)于in English。故選C。

6.選B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句中“Aggressive pedestrians, on the other hand, believe in the primacy (首位) of the individual”可知，行人過分強(qiáng)調(diào)自我而無視交通規(guī)則從而導(dǎo)致車禍，故答案選B。

8.選C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段可知，作者提出了解決這些問題的辦法，由此可知，作者對于因?yàn)樾腥嗽斐傻慕煌ㄊ鹿时硎緭?dān)心，故答案選C。

Ⅰ.語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了作者在乘火車去投遞個(gè)人簡歷的途中，把裝簡歷的信封弄丟了，本來已經(jīng)不抱任何希望了，幾周之后他卻收到面試通知并且得到了那份工作。作者想對幫他郵寄簡歷的人說：“你的小小善舉對我卻意義重大，謝謝你?！?BR> 1.C ：this指的是作者與老板關(guān)系緊張這件事，C，put up with“”。look up“”;take up“”;come up with“”，。
2.選A 由語境知，作者辭職時(shí)很沖動(dòng)，并沒做好準(zhǔn)備，現(xiàn)在手邊又沒有其他的工作，所以現(xiàn)在作者心里應(yīng)是焦慮的。故選A。hopeless語氣太重，不符合題意。
3.選D 句意：然后，有一天早晨我發(fā)現(xiàn)了一則招聘廣告需要我這樣的人。A項(xiàng)意為“解雇”，與語境不符，可排除;B項(xiàng)意為“雇用”，為過去時(shí)，表示已經(jīng)受雇了，也不符合語境;C項(xiàng)意為“想念”，與語境不符。D項(xiàng)意為“尋找”，符合語境。故選D。
4.選B 由下文語境并結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知，作者要去應(yīng)聘，自己的簡歷當(dāng)然要打印得很整潔。故選B。
5.選A 根據(jù)下文“to get to the post office”可知，信封是要郵出去的，應(yīng)在信封上寫好寄信人和收信人的地址。
6.選C 根據(jù)上文“the post office”可知，作者在郵局可以把信封稱重量，蓋戳，然后寄出去。故選C。

10.選C 根據(jù)上文可知，信封不見了，返回自己曾坐過的那節(jié)車廂的目的是為了找信封，因此search符合題意，故選C。a look of意為“……的表情”，不符合語境，可排除。
11.選D 根據(jù)下文可知，他是等火車離開后再看看鐵軌上有沒有信封，所以選擇impatiently，意為“不耐煩地”，表示作者當(dāng)時(shí)焦急的心情。作者并不是漫無目的地亂找，aimlessly“漫無目的地”，可排除。信封丟失后，找不到信封，作者的心情應(yīng)該是焦急的，而不是生氣或興奮。
12.選B 根據(jù)空后的敘述：找不到信封，回家后坐在打字機(jī)旁邊再打一份簡歷寄出去可知，這一系列行為都是符合人的正常做事邏輯的。logically“符合邏輯地”，符合語境。
13.選A 根據(jù)空前的“bad”和下文“so I gave up”可推知，作者認(rèn)為求職路上丟掉信封是不好的征兆，所以選擇sign。fortune意為“運(yùn)氣”，為不可數(shù)名詞，不能用冠詞修飾，可排除。mark意為“標(biāo)志，記號(hào)”，不符合邏輯。
14.選C 根據(jù)下文語意和選項(xiàng)可知，應(yīng)是三周后卻“收到”了一封來信。receive“(客觀上)收到”，符合題意。
15.選D 根據(jù)作者在找工作這個(gè)語境和空后的“the company's managing director”可知，作者是去見這位主任面試。故選D。
16.選A 由語境知，作者把裝簡歷的信封丟失后，決定放棄了，卻收到面試的邀請信，應(yīng)該感到非常吃驚。
17.選C 根據(jù)上文“got the job”和下文“as deputy general manager”可推知，C項(xiàng)正確。A、B兩項(xiàng)是終止性動(dòng)詞，在肯定句中是不能和until連用的，故排除。
18.選B 根據(jù)上下文語境可知，作者是在思考自己的簡歷是怎樣到達(dá)收信人手里的。reach意為“到達(dá)”，符合題意。故選B。
19.選A 本句是作者猜測的內(nèi)容，作者認(rèn)為一定是有人發(fā)現(xiàn)了那個(gè)信封，意識(shí)到這封求職信對其主人來說一定很重要，所以代為投遞了。故選A。
20.選D 由上下文語境知，拾到自己丟失信封的那位好心人作者并不認(rèn)識(shí)。故選D。
Ⅱ.語篇解讀：本文為一篇說明文。文章以例證的方式說明了“高尚品行造就幸福生活”的真理，并剖析了其中的原因，呼吁人們?yōu)樘岣呱钚腋Ｖ笖?shù)應(yīng)該去做高尚的、值得人尊敬的事。
