The crowd of dealers, collectors, bargain-hunters and plain sale-goers walked about examining this and that and generally having a la
19、st look round before the excitement of the sale. Every piece was numbered and listed, and everyone had a copy of the list. The sale was to take place in the largest room, the sitting room, which had been prepared. A few people were already waiting there. The room was half full of chairs. These carri
20、ed the highest numbers, so that they could be put to ordinary use till near the end. In front of the fireplace stood the salesmans desk, a box-like piece of furniture with four steps. At work, the salesman stood a meter above everyone. He was trained to notice the slightest movement of a hand, an ey
21、e, or even an eyebrow, any of which might signal a bid. Beside the desk were a table and two chairs for the clerk and the cashier. Many of the sale goods were already here, some from the bedrooms looking out of place. Almost in the middle stood a big kitchen table covered by a blanket. The salesman
22、came in and climbed on to his stand. His assistants followed him in and took their places. “Ladies and gentlemen, ”the salesman said, “I have been informed to tell you that everything must be sold this afternoon. No price is too low or too high for anything, but a price I must have for everything. W
23、e are now ready to begin, and we do so with Lot Number One ”At this point two strong-looking men lifted on to the central table a large wooden chest. It seemed too big for a modern house. “Lot Number One is an oak chest. Now what am I bid for this fine old chest? Do I hear 20? No? 10 then. Do I hear
24、 10? Come along, ladies and gentlemen, this chest is solid oak. The wood alone is worth 40, so make me an offer for Lot Number One, just to get us started. ”His eyes swung round the room. “One pound, ”a womans voice called. “One pound Im bid, ”said the salesman eagerly, “for this splendid chest. Any
25、 advance on 1 now? One pound Im bid. Do I hear two? No? Going at one pound then. No advance on 1? Going at 1. One pound. ”He brought his wooden hammer down sharply on to his desk. Sold for 1 to Mrs. Duke. Mrs. Duke is a dealer in second-hand furniture. 36. What use was made of the kitchen table? A.
26、The salesman stood on it to conduct the sale. B. It was where the clerk and the cashier worked. C. It served as the stand for the things being sold. D. Two men sat on it during the business. 37. As it is used in the text, the term “a bid” refers to _. A. the present value of an article B. the agreed
27、 price of an article C. the added value of an article D. the price offered for an article 38. Why do you suppose Mrs. Duke wanted Lot Number One? A. Because it was low in price. B. She hoped to sell it for a nice profit（利润） C. She bought it in order to start the sale. D. Because she is a collector o
28、f old oak chests.BLearning English is one of the few things I have been doing consistently over the past 16 years. Like most Chinese students, I started learning English because it was a compulsory (必修的) course in my middle school. More importantly, English was a central subject for the college entr
29、ance exam.At that time, studying English was not a pleasant experience for me. There was no fun in the process of learning. The focus of our English education was getting a good mark in exams. And nobody told me that the real meaning of studying mother language was communication.When I became a univ
30、ersity student, I spent nearly half of my time on English. In fact , more than 90 percent of the job offer ads in Shanghai list “ proficiency (精通) as a main requirement.How did I improve my English? People told me that TOEFL was very helpful and useful. As a result, I took a TOEFL training course an
31、d studied like mad. After six months preparation, I took part in the exam and got a high score. Later on, I had a chance to further my study in Britain. I soon discovered that all of my past English learning had been futile (没用的). When I first went shopping in a local supermarket, I really could not
32、 understand what the cashier was saying at all.It was then that I realized I had totally missed the point. Instead of just passing exams, the main function of learning English or any other language is communication. What is more, language does not exist independent of culture. Hence, mechanical memo
33、rization helps very little in communication. Thats why I was still unable to freely express myself after learning English for many years. By no means am I talented in any foreign language. I am still learning English. Why?First and foremost, my job requires me to use English everyday. Secondly, Engl
34、ish helps me to have access to more information. Thirdly, as a bookworm, English gives me a chance to dive into the huge pool of inspiring English books. Last but not least, it is such a great experience to write in another language. Indeed, English has become part of my life. 39.What is the purpose
35、 of studying English according to the writers idea?A. To get high marks in examsB. To prove that English is very important.C. Studying English well can help you get a good job.D. To use English for communication with others.40.According to the text, how is “my” English?A. I am good at English.B. I c
36、an speak English like natives.C. I can master it but I cant use it correctly.D. I continued to study English at university.41.How can we master English well?A. We need more mechanical memorization.B. We should read and recite more books.C. We should study English as well as its culture and use it mo
37、re.D. We can study hard in classrooms and houses and get high marks in exams.CIn our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of “mastery” feeling important and worthwhile and the sources of what we call a sense of “pleasure” finding life enjoyable are not always the same. Women often are told “
38、You cant have it all.” Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: “You choose a career, so you cant expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life.” or “You have a wonderful husband and children whats all this about wanting a career?” But women need to understand and develop both as
39、pects of well-being, if they are to feel good about themselves.Our study shows that, for women, well-being has two aspects. One is mastery, which includes self-respect, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression. Mastery is closely related to the “doing” side of life
40、, to work and activity. Pleasure is the other aspect, and it is made up of happiness, satisfaction and optimism. It is tied more closely to the “feeling” side of life. The two are independent of each other. A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa（反之亦然）. For example, a wo
41、man who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time.The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women, and correct past mistakes
42、. In the past, women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being. But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important. And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work. In our study, all the groups of employed women were valued significantly hig
43、her in mastery than women who were not employed.A womans well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles. At least by middle adulthood, the women who were involved in a combination of roles marriages, motherhood, and employment were the highest in well-being, in spite of warnings about stre
44、ss and strain.42. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _.A. for women, a sense of “mastery” is more important than a sense of “pleasure”B. for women, a sense of “pleasure” is more important than a sense of “mastery”C. women cant have a sense of “mastery” and a sense of “pleasure” at the
45、same timeD. a sense of “mastery” and a sense of “pleasure” are both necessary to women43. The authors attitude towards women having a career is_.A. negativeB. positiveC. indifferentD. realistic44. One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles, _.A. it will be easier
46、 for her to overcome stress and strainB. she will be more successful in her careerC. her chances of getting promoted will be greaterD. her life will be richer and more meaningful45. Which of the following can be considered as a source of “pleasure” for women?A. Family lifeB. Multiple roles in societ
47、yC. Regular employmentD. Freedom from anxiety DAnthropologists are looking into the possibility that some European-looking Chinese in North-west China are the descendants(后裔) of a lost army from the Roman Empire.Experts at the newly established Italian Studies Center at Lanzhou University in Gansu p
48、rovince will excavate a section of the Silk Road, a 7,000-kilometer trade route that linked Asia and Europe more than 2,000 years ago, to see whether there are remains of Roman soldiers in China. They hope to prove the legend by digging the Road and discovering more evidence of Chinas early contact
49、with the Roman Empire.Before Marco Polos travels to China in the 13th century, the only known contact between the two empires was a visit by Roman diplomats in 166 AD.Chinese archeologists were therefore surprised in the 1990s to find the remains of an ancient defense structure in Liqian, a remote t
50、own in Yongchang county on the edge of a desert area, that was strikingly similar to Roman defense structures. They were even more astonished to find Western-looking people with green, deep-set eyes, long hooked noses and blond hair.Though the villagers said they had never traveled outside the count
51、y, they worshipped(崇尚) bulls and their favorite game was similar to the ancient Romans bull-fighting dance.DNA tests in 2005 confirmed some of the villagers were indeed of foreign origin, leading many experts to conclude they are descendants of an ancient Roman army headed by general Marcus Crassus.
52、In 53 BC, Crassus was defeated and killed by the Parthians, a tribe(部落) occupying what is now Iran, putting an end to Romes eastward expansion. But a army of 6,000 men led by Crassus eldest son apparently escaped and was never found again.Though some experts are convinced the Roman-looking villagers
53、 in Yongchang county are the descendants of the soldiers, others are not so certain.A professor at Beijing Normal University believes that there were many chances for trans-national marriages because the county is on the Silk Road, and the “foreign” origin of the Yongchang villagers does not necessa
54、rily mean they are of ancient Roman origin.46. What does the underlined word in the second paragraph probably mean?A. Dig.B. Defend.C. Repair.D. Protect.47. The Chinese local villagers and Romans are similar in the following aspects EXCEPT that _.A. they have similar appearanceB. their defense struc
55、tures are similarC. they have the same characterD. they both worship bulls48. The villagers in Yongchang county may not be of ancient Roman origin because _.A. the results of DNA tests may be wrongB. their ancestors might have married other foreignersC. they are of the Parthian originD. Crassus was
56、defeated and killed.49. From the passage, we know that _.A. the ancestors of the Liqian villagers are from ancient RomeB. the research on the origin of the Liqian villagers is still under wayC. Romans built the ancient defense structures in LiqianD. the Liqian villagers are not of foreign origin50.
57、Where might the passage be taken from?A. A science fiction.B. A book review.C. A travel guide.D. A news story.第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分) 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后图表中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。I used to be the messiest person alive.

Make a list of all of the steps that need to be accomplished and think about what needs to be done.Detail everything thoroughly and

You should ensure that if for some reason way one doesnt work, you have way two and way three to lean back on. Therefore, different ways are needed at hand. Its just a matter of being organized. Chance
60、s are that there is always more than one way of doing things, and chances are that if one of those ways doesnt work, one of the other ones will. Committing yourself to finishing at least part if not all of your plan at once is also necessary. It will show that you not only have initiative to get thi

69、 some weight.” As is well-known, we Chinese students are overburdened with lessons and homework which our teachers have given us. All that we do every day is to listen to our teachers lessons, to take notes and do our homework which seems endless. We do hope our teachers will help us get more knowledge with fewer lectures, exercises and less homework. Only in this way will we have spare time to do more physical exercise and make us stronger, and we will have more spare time to take part in some social activities, which makes us all mentally and physically healthier.版权所有：高考资源网()版权所有：高考资源网()
