For many months he 17 (admire) a beautiful sports car in a dealers showroom, and knowing his father could well aff
11、ord it, he told him that was _18 _ he wanted.As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, _19 _ the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study and handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, and som
12、ewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a Bible, with the young mans name 20 (mark) in gold. Angrily, he stormed out of the house, 21 (leave) the Bible.Many years passed and the young man had become very successful in business. He realized his father _22 (get) now old, and thought
13、 perhaps he should go to see him. However, before he 23 make arrangements, he received a mail telling him his father had passed away.When he arrived at his fathers house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He saw the still gift-wrapped Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he
14、 opened the Bible and was about to turn pages 24 a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealers name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had wanted. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words PAID IN FULL.(B)Some people can stay up all night and stil
15、l get work done the next day. Im not one of them. After a night without enough sleep, I feel bad-tempered and I have trouble 25 (remember) things. How do you feel after youve stayed up late 26 (finish) schoolwork? Scientists now say that your answers to these questions may depend on your genes.New r
16、esearch suggests that a gene 27 (call)“period 3”affects how well you function without sleep. The gene comes in two forms：short and long. Everyone has two copies of the gene. Your particular combination depends on what your parents passed on to you.Scientists from the University of Surrey in England
17、studied 24 people who had 28 two short or two long copies of “period 3”. Study participants had to stay awake 40 hours straight. Then, they took tests 29 measuredhow quickly they pushed a button when numbers flashed on screen and how well they could remember lists of numbers.Results showed that the
18、people with the short form of“period 3”performed much 30 (well). In both groups，people performed worst in the early morning.After the first round of experiments，participants 31 (allow) to sleep. People in the group that performed well on the tests took about 18 minutes to nod off(打盹).People with the
19、 long“period 3”gene, by contrast, 32 （fall） asleep in just 8 minutes. They also spent more time on deep sleep. That suggests that people with the long form of the gene need more and deeper sleep to keep their brains working in top form.Section B 10Directions: Complete the following passage by using

It stands out for recogniz
23、ing that fish are interesting animals that deserve over _39_ and pity every bit as much as dogs and cats and other animals,” said Karin Robertson, a director of the People for the Ethical treatment of Animals.Last year a law was passed in Italy that gives people who _40_ pets big fines and prison se
24、ntences. Since then local governments have added their own animal protection rules.The northern city of Turin passed a law in April to give pet owners fines of _41_ $598 if they do not walk their dogs three times a day.The new law in Rome also says that owners mustnt leave their dogs in hot cars or
25、cut their dogs tail to make them look lovelier. The law also gives _42_ recognition to the “cat ladies” who feed homeless cats.

47、or exercise.” said Dr. Hans Selye, the first physician to document the effects of stress on the body. While theres no question that continuous stress is harmful, several studies suggest that challenging situations in which youre able to rise to the occasion can be good for you.In a 2001 study of 158
48、 hospital nurses, those who faced considerable work demands but coped with the challenge were more likely to say they were in good health than those who felt they couldnt get the job done.Stress that you can manage may also boost immune(免疫的) function. In a study at the Academic Center for Dentistry
49、in Amsterdam, researchers put volunteers through two stressful experiences.

56、each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.We all go through times when we feel we are not good enough. We might feel that way at work or in school or even as a parent. Here are some things to remember
57、 when you feel like that. 69 .When I started my Ph.D. program, I felt like the dumbest(愚蠢的) person in every class. I couldnt believe how many smart people were there. I didnt know if I could measure up to their intelligence or compete in the same league with them. Years later, I found out that almos

59、t. Whats perfect to me is not perfect to you. So if you think that there is some objective measurement of perfection and that the rest of the world is judging you against, then you are wrong. 71 . 72 .Our sense of self-worth is based in our thoughts. We have been programmed for many years with thoug
60、hts about ourselves. Messages come from our parents, our peers, teachers, the media and our own labels. But guess what? They are only thoughts. Just because you think these thoughts, it doesnt make them true. 73 .A. You have the power to change your future.B. So focus on your own passions and talent

Use your own words as far as possible.Do you like movies and the cinema? If the answer is yes, then youll love hearing
63、that there is a 3D revolution in cinema entertainment coming. 3D technology has been around for many years. The first 3D movie shown to a paying audience can be traced down to as early as 1922. But now 3D movies are being released on a large scale. This year, some major movie studios have released 3
64、D movies, including the blockbuster Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and animations like Up and Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. But now does 3D movie technology work and why do you have to wear glasses while watching 3D movies? The technology is actually simple. When a director is making a 3D
65、 movie, he must have it filmed by two cameras, from two slightly different angles, at the same time. Because it is filmed from different angles, if you watch the movie without the 3D glasses, it will look blurred(模糊). In the cinema, the movie is played on a special silver screen. When you watch the
66、movie through the 3D glasses, each of your eyes sees from one of the different angles because each lens of the glasses only lets through one type of polarized light. This makes your brain think it is seeing 3D images. Unfortunately, there are some problems with 3D movies. Because the movie has to be
67、 filmed from two different angles, the filming of 3D movies is really expensive. And, upgrading a screen to 3D and installing the projector can cost tens of thousands of dollars. So we might be waiting a while before every film is 3D, but it will be worth the wait.Summary:_第II卷 （共 40分）I. Translation

76、I. Guided Writing （共25分）（参考）We will soon graduate from senior high school. Now almost every student is faced with the question: Should I choose a good major or a good university first?Some students prefer to consider majors first so that they can learn what they are interested in. It will also make
77、it possible for them to take their favourite jobs in the future. However, those who think differently believe that the environment is important to ones development and that graduates from leading universities are often more likely to find a good job.In my opinion, the best choice is a good major at a good university. But if we cannot obtain both, the first thing to consider is a good major, because no matter where we study, we can still achieve a lot in a certain field if we have interest in it and try our best. - 19 - 版权所有高考资源网
