9、s people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what keeping up with the Joneses is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors. The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand
10、. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich pe
11、ople had servants. Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors. It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life.
12、 They had to move back to an apartment in New York City. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it Keeping up with the Joneses” becau
13、se Jones is a very common name in the United States. Keeping up with the Joneses came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momands series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. A
14、nd there are Joneses in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.21. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they _.A. want to be as rich as their neighborsB. want others to
15、know or to think that they are richC. dont want others to know they are richD. want to be happy22. It can be inferred from the story that rich people like to _.A. live outside New York City B. live in New York CityC. live in apartments D. live with many neighbors23. Whats the authors attitude to kee
16、ping up with the Joneses?A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Supportive. D. Objective.B Moral science is taught as a subject in most schools but with little effect. Perhaps part of the problem lies in the fact that morality is not a science, strictly speaking. It is too much of a social phenomenon, and als
17、o has too much of the personal and subjective things mixed within. Besides, morality itself changes with generations. So it is impossible to be defined in a textbook. I remember sitting through forty minutes of moral lessons, which told stories about little children who never told lies and were rewa
18、rded for their goodness. It had little effect and left no impression on me, though. If moral science has to be taught as a subject in schools, it needs a participatory(参与其中的) approach. When you tell a child about morals, you also have to deal with social norms（规范）and cultural differences. You have t
19、o explain that morality can be subjective, and be able to co-exist in society. You will probably have to refer to the morals of the present time.The best way to tell a child how to live is to show him what is valued. If a child likes his friend, you have to make the child think about why. Once the c
20、hild notices and recognizes goodness in others, he or she is likely to develop it as well. In fact, children learn most of their morals by watching people around them. They absorb behavior patterns from teachers and older students. They watch to see what is rewarded and who is punished. They learn o
21、n the sports field and through social work. Moral science lessons should simply consist of letting them live and interact, and watch you support correct values and reward good behavior. 24. Which is NOT the reason that moral science is taught in schools but with little effect? A. Morality doesnt str
22、ictly belong to a science B. Morality is more like a social phenomenon. C. Morality cant be written down in textbooks. D. Different generations have different moral ideas.25. The author describes his own experience of having moral lessons in order to _. A. explain telling lies is not moral for littl
23、e children B. advise people should be rewarded for their goodness C. show he has no opinions about moral science D. prove moral lessons in schools have little effect26. When you tell a child about morals, you should_. A. teach him to share personal moral ideas with others B. tell him about social no
24、rms and cultural differences C. explain that nobody can influence his moral ideas D. say that the present morals are likely to be changed27. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The influence of peoples behavior on morals. B. The value of teachers setting a good example C. The best way of tea
25、ching children about morals. D. The importance of rewarding good behavior.C The North and South poles are remote and freezing places that receive lots of animal visitors but few human tourists. But 2007 marked the beginning of the International Polar Year (IPY), a two-year-old activity of science pr
26、ojects that aimed to show how important the poles are to the health of our planet. During the IPY, which lasted until March 2009, thousands of researchers from more than 60 countries conducted more than 200 projects and expeditions to both the top and bottom of the world. In recent years, the polar
27、regions have begun to change severely as a result of global warming. Temperatures there are rising faster than anywhere else on Earth. As a result, the ice and snow in these regions are melting at record-setting rates. One result is that sea levels are rising around the world, putting animals and pe
28、ople at risk. Only by studying the poles, say IPY researchers, can we find ways to protect them and ourselves. Both the Arctic and the Antarctic are cold and remote, but the two regions have important differences. For one thing, the Arctic is an ice-covered ocean surrounded by land. The Antarctic, o
29、n the other hand, is a continent of ice-covered land surrounded by water.Most polar studies have focused on the Arctic, and that is where scientists have observed the most remarkable changes in the ice. During a typical year, Arctic ice expands in the winter and shrinks in the summer. But recently,
30、the amount of ice covering the ocean has been steadily dropping in both seasons.28The goal of the International Polar Year is _.Ato make it clear that the poles have much to do with a healthy earthBto provide practical theory to further develop this distant areaCto call on as many scientists as poss
31、ible to do research on the polesDto discover more mysteries unknown to man29What is the main factor that has caused the changes of the poles?AThe increasing number of animals.BThe development of the poles.CThe melting of the poles.DThe rising temperature.30What unusual phenomenon worries the scienti
32、sts?AIn summer the ice of the Arctic loses faster.BThe ice covering the Arctic decreases even in winter.CThe ice of the Arctic increases less than in the past.DThe changes in the Arctic are more serious.31Which of the following might be the best tile of the passage?AEarths Poles Interest Scientists
33、BThe Animals of Earths PolesCEarths Poles in Danger DThe Discoveries in Earths PolesD Feeling tired? Under too much stress? Well, you may want to try Yoga(瑜珈). Its what more and more people have been turning to to release the trouble of modern life. Practically unheard of in the West until 50 years
34、ago, Yoga has become one of the most popular health trends around the world, including China. If you search for Yoga on line in Chinese, lots of pages are there to see, most of which are main pages of Yoga clubs. In order to keep fit and lose weight, many girls spend more than 1000 yuan taking part
35、in Yoga classes every month. However, are you really ready for it? There are several things you need to know before you really take it. First, do not force your body too much. Yoga has many difficult poses. They are beautiful and worth boasting if you could finish them. But if you force yourself to
36、do as exactly as an experienced Yoga teacher does, you may hurt your body, instead of strengthening it. Do you remember you original purpose for playing Yoga? It is self -building, not competing. Second, do some research about the Yoga class that you are to register. Yoga is new in China and there a
37、re not so many certificated well-trained Yoga teachers. Some not well organized clubs just find someone learn a little Yoga and certificate them. But be aware, a non-eligible teacher might wrongly guide you and you could not benefit from the classes much except that they force you to exercise your b
38、ody a bit. Considering about the large amount of money you invest in it, its worth and reasonable to make sure the teachers in the club are qualified before you join. Third, it would be better to learn something about nutrition when you practice Yoga. In the very beginning, Yoga was part of the Veda
39、s, bible of the traditional Indian philosophy. So it could be regarded as a kind of lifestyle. When you have decided to care for your body, why not feed it properly? In fact, good clubs have their own nutritionists. Anyhow, make sure you are ready before you act. The fashion may change quickly. But
40、what benefits is still good for us. 32The authors main purpose in writing the passage is to .Atell people how to relax themselvesBlet people know more about YogaCgive people some advice on taking part in Yoga classesDtell peoples Yoga has gained its popularity in China33The underlined word “eligible
41、” in the fourth paragraph most probably means .AexperiencedBqualifiedChonoredDhi-technical34Which of the following is NOT the authors advice?AJoin one of the noblest Yoga clubs. BDont easily follow the fashion about Yoga.CKnow some knowledge about nutrition. DFind out a real teacher.35From the advic
42、e offered by the author, we can conclude that .AYoga has nothing to do with cultureBYoga is somehow easy to exerciseCmany people learn Yoga in order to competeDnot all the Yoga clubs have standard teachers第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题3 分，满分15分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Technology has enabled peop

44、erson if calling them is not possible. Unless you cant help it, give up the habit of texting while walking, eating or driving because texting is not real communication. 37 Calling is a great way of enhancing conversations because its more direct, with a greater chance of successful communication. 2.
45、 _38_ We are more willing to spend time on Facebook than actually turn away from our desks and have a conversation with the person working right next to us.
