One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something, “Im awfully sorry,” I said and stepped forwar
221、d only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldnt stop unless passengers wanted to
222、 get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived. Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I
223、 usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help. But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; It seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping t

Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping _. A. to find people there B. to find more buses there C. to find the bus by herself there D. to
227、find people more helpful there解析：51.选，C 细节理解题。由第二段前三句，特别是第三句(When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost)可知。52.选， C 细节理解题。由题干中的that evening可知，问的是“那天晚上发生的事”，即信息点应在第2和4段，因为第3段是讲通常的情况而不是当晚，所以A和B两个选项就很容易排除了。根据第2段最后一句No one else was there可知，当晚只有她一个人在那等车，都没有人在身边，怎么可能被人注意
228、到呢？据此可排除D；根据第4段中的But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one.可知，特别用的是过去完成时（had given up），可见她怕拦错车，出洋相，早就放弃努力自己拦车了，因此当晚她并没有努力去拦车，因此，选项C正确。53. 选B 推理判断题。由Sometimes I would stop a big lorry可知
229、，靠声音来判断有时是靠不住的。54.选 A 推理判断题。从I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself可知，她本人不想拦车了，又由managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help可知，她是决定找人帮忙了，而在本站没有人，去下一站当然就是希望在那里可以找到人帮忙。【英语卷（解析）2015届河北省唐山一中高二下学期期末考试（201407）】C2 A There has been an outpouring of love for a 2

However, chances are that you dont ac

You know that to take the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior.Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of taboo behavior is how it can change over the years within the same society, how certain
604、 behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death, for example, were once considered so upsetting and unpleasant that it was a taboo to even talk about them. Now with the publication of important books such as On
605、Death and Dying and Learning to Say Goodbye, people have become more aware of the importance of expressing feelings about death and, as a result, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject.One of the newest taboos in American society is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a top
606、ic that Americans talk about constantly. Its not taboo to talk about fat; its taboo to be fat. The “in” look is thin, not fat. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, trim executives to sell their image as well as their products to the public. The thin look is associated with yout

Recent research has shown the critical importance of diet and exercise for personal health. As in most technologically developed nations, the life-

Let me first refresh your memory: You, a group of fit, young men, were playing soccer on the field across from my apartment building. I, a better-t
647、han-average looking young woman, was walking along the sidewalk with my groceries. Thats when your ball came flying over the fence and landed in front of me.One of you approached and asked politely if I would throw the ball back to you. Fighting the urge to drop my bags and run screaming down the st
648、reet, I reluctantly (勉强地) agreed.Before I continue, let me explain something that I didnt have a chance to mention last night: I hate sports. More specifically, I hate sports involving balls. This results from my lack of natural ability when it comes to throwing, catching and hitting. Im bad at aimi
649、ng too. So you can understand why Id be nervous at what Im sure seemed to you like a laughably simple request. However, wanting to appear agreeable, I put my bags down, picked up the ball and, eyes half-shut, and threw it as hard as I could. It hit the middle of the fence and bounced back to me.Tryi
650、ng to act casually, I said something about being out of practice, and then picked up the ball again. If youll remember, at your command, I agreed to try throwing underhand. While outwardly I was smiling, in my head, I was praying, oh God, oh please oh please oh please. I threw the ball upward with a
651、ll my strength, terrified by what happened next.The ball hit slightly higher up on the fence and bounced back to me.This is the point where I start to take issue with you. Wouldnt it have been a better use of your time, and mine, if you had just walked around the fence and took the ball then? I was
652、clearly struggling; my smiles were more and more forced. And yet, you all just stood there, motionless.Seeing that you werent going to let me out of the trouble, I became desperate. Memories of middle school softball came flooding back. I tried hard to throw the ball but it only went about eight fee
653、t, then I decided to pick it up and dash with ball in hand towards the baseline, while annoyed thirteen-year-old boys screamed at me that I was ruining their lives. Children are cruel.Being a big girl now, I pushed those memories aside and picked up the soccer ball for the third time. I forced a goo

655、, but it only served to deepen the shame. Anyway, I accepted your ball-throwing advice, backed up, rocked back and forth a little, took a deep breath and let it fly. It hit the edge of the fence and bounced back to me. I surprised myselfand Im sure you as wellby letting out a cry, “DAMN IT!” I then
656、willed myself to have a heart attack and pass out in front of you just so Id be put out of my misery. Alas, the heart attack didnt happen, and you continued to look at me expectantly, like you were content to do this all night. I had become a sort of exhibition for you. I could feel your collective

Three failed attempts at a simple task in front of a group of people in a two-minute period were just enough blows for me for one night. I
658、picked up the ball one last time, approached the fence and grumbled, “Please just come get the damn ball.”And you did. And thanks to you, I decided at that very moment to never throw anything ever again, except disrespectful glances at people who play sports.Sincerely, Jen Cordery55. The writer agre

666、eras, held a microphone to their mouth and asked a simple question: “Are you happy?” The question has caught many interviewees off guard. Even Mo Yan, who recently won a Nobel Prize, responded by saying: “I dont know”. While the question has become a buzz phrase and the Internet plays host to heated
667、 discussions, we ask: What exactly is happiness? And how do you measure it? In the 1776 US Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson set in writing the peoples unalienable right to “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. Last year, 235 years on, Chinas Premier Wen Jiabao told the nation: “
668、Everything we do is aimed at letting people live more happily.” At last years National Peoples Congress, officials agreed that increasing happiness would be a top target for the 12th five-year plan. US psychologist Ed Diener, author of Happiness: Unlocking the Mysteries of Psychological Wealth, desc
669、ribes happiness as “a combination of life satisfaction and having more positive than negative emotions”, according to US broadcasting network PBS. This may sound straightforward enough, but it still doesnt explain what determines peoples happiness. Many argue that happiness is elusive and that there
670、 is no single source. It also means different things to different people. For some, happiness can be as simple as having enough cash. Researchers believe happiness can be separated into two types: daily experiences of hedonic(享乐的) well-being; and evaluative well-being, the way people think about the
671、ir lives as a whole. The former refers to the quality of living, whereas the latter is about overall happiness, including life goals and achievements. Happiness can cross both dimensions. Li Jun, a psychologist and mental therapy practitioner at a Beijing clinic, says: “Happiness can mean both the m
672、ost basic human satisfaction or the highest level of spiritual pursuit. Its a simple yet profound topic.” Chen Shangyuan, 21, a junior English major at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, said his idea of happiness always evolves. “At present it relates to how productive I am in a da
673、y,” he said. “It might be linked to job security or leisure time after I graduate.” Then there is the question of measuring happiness. Does it depend on how many friends we have, or whether we own the latest smart phone? Is it even quantifiable? Economists are trying to measure happiness in peoples
674、lives. Since 1972, Bhutans GDP measurement has been replaced by a Gross National Happiness index. It is calculated according to the peoples sense of being well-governed, their relationship with the environment, their satisfaction with economic development, and their sense of national belonging. In 2

Many famous stars brought their children to a strange village alone, and they had to spend 72 hours with their children there. The program fully showed us a modern version of
682、the “how to be a good father”. As the young parents today are too busy to take care of their children, this new form of “Lost on the way” played by nanny Daddy and cute kids triggered（触发）a lot of peoples emotional resonance（共鸣）. Both the kids and their parents will find that their hearts are being d
683、rawn closer. But this kind of feeling has just proved that there is a big spiritual barrier between the modern parents and children. The TV shows like “Children are hard to support!”, “Where are we going, Dad?”, “hot mom” and “cute kids” are becoming more and more popular. All of these show the new
684、parents confusion in childrens education and the appeal for the balance between career and family.In real life, on the one hand the young parents feel helpless because they are too busy to accompany their children under the pressures of work and life; on the other hand they continue to do so. The da

686、st playing computer games in the bedroom. The story of a child without the company of father is still going on. In fact, it is sometimes the same to mothers. In a modern family, it is often the old who take the responsibility of raising a child. The participation of mother in the childrens education
687、 is also very low.It is just this kind of confusion where the parents have gone in the modern family education, and where the parents will guide their children to go that “Where are we going，Dad?” shows us. If a child wants to grow up healthily and safely into a modern citizen with independent perso
688、nality and free spirit, it is very important for him or her to follow the parents who serve as their first teacher. Maybe this is the real reason why such kind of TV programs could get hot. The truth is that children will go where their parents go; and society will go where the children go.46. In ra

Organic farming means farming with natural materials, rather than with man-made fertilizers or pesticides(杀虫剂). Organic farmers rel
836、y on many methods such as crop rotation (农作物的轮作) and the use of resistant（有抵抗力的）varieties, because they are necessary for organic farmers to compensate for the shortage of man-made chemicals.

The House of Commons committee on agriculture stated that, even with complete research work, it would fail to find any scientific evidence to prove “that any of claims made for organic farming
838、 is always true”. However, the talk about the benefits of organic farming is going on. This is partly because many people depend on their individual farm, the soil, the weather, and so on. 51.

880、. 选C，最后一段先描写该地的山势地形，然后落到了“水”上。高山泉水（盖尔语里的“生命之水”）造就了举世闻名的苏格兰威士忌。61. 选B，B和D选项让我在做的时候，斟酌了很久。除了C项“探究苏格兰地理特征”和A项“介绍苏格兰风俗”错得比较明显，其他2个就要仔细比较了。注意这两个单词：D项的“show the attraction”，B项的“describe”。表面上作者确是在描写苏格兰生活的悠闲生活，并非只是描写生活在苏格兰的乐趣而已。更深层次的目的是：他分别用了两段、浓墨重彩给游人介绍两个威廉堡最独特的吸引：渔趣和泉水酿的酒。这两个事、物是如此独特，足以让威廉堡与众不同。所以想及此，果断选了
881、B，证明判断正确。62. 选B，第一段是提纲挈领介绍苏格兰高地威廉堡的两大不可错过的事，而列举维多利亚女王的事例，完全是为了说明威廉堡是个好地方，而且，女王甚至还没有体会垂钓之乐，都写下了“I never saw a lovelier spot ”，可见该地确实是值得去的好地儿。【英语卷（解析）2015届湖北省部分重点中学高三上学期起点考试（201408）】C7 B I have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly.

930、sions,” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, while Easterners favor the eyes and ignore the mouth.” According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressio

The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the facial movements of 13 Western people and 13 Eastern people while they o
932、bserved pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, or angry. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies. It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention
933、 on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions,” Jack said. “Our data suggest that while Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners us

From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating

Amazingly, this delicious treat started its life as a corn kernel (玉米粒) , not just from any corn. Popcorn is a type of sweet corn that was originally grown in Mexico and
990、 spread to China, India and elsewhere. It is the only kind of corn that will pop. Today, most of the worlds popcorn is grown in the United States. Every popcorn kernel contains a tiny drop of water，surrounded by soft starch (淀粉). When the popcorn is heated, the water turns into steam. This puts pres
991、sure on the surrounding hard kernel, forcing it to explode. The soft starch increases about 40 times in size as the corn kernel turns itself inside out. In the 1500s popcorn was an important food source for the Aztec Indians of central and southern Mexico. But it wasnt only food. It was also used in
992、 ceremonies or on red dresses and in necklaces. By the time the Europeans arrived in America，popcorn had spread through most of the American Indians. Some early American settlers ate popcorn with cream and sugar for breakfast. But it wasnt until the late 1800s that popcorn became popular. The demand
993、 for popcorn increased and farmers began farming popcorn. The first mobile popping machine was invented in 1885, and popcorn was sold by street sellers much like hot dogs that are sold today. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, the popcorn business still thrived as people could still afford it
994、. Then in the 1950s television arrived and popcorn consumption decreased. People stayed home and stopped going to the theatre. But the link between movies and popcorn had already existed.

Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet b
1001、rings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people - half of them pet owners while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice wate
1002、r. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mi
1003、stakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more relaxed (放松)around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets dont judge. A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits.
1004、Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lost about I1 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Their dogs did even

1011、stones (宝石) by their appearances. An emerald flashes deep green, a ruby seems to hold a red fire inside, and a diamond shines like a star. Its more difficult to tell where the gem was mined, since a diamond from Australia or Arkansas may appear the same to one from the Democratic Republic of the Con
1012、go. However, recently, a team of scientists has found a way to identify a gemstones origin.Beneath the surface of a gemstone, on the tiny level of atoms and molecules（分子）, lie clues (线索) to its origin. At this years meeting of the Geological Society of America in Minneapolis, Catherine McManus repor
1013、ted on a technique that uses lasers (激光) to clarify these clues and identify a stones homeland. McManus directs scientific research at Materialytics, in Killeen, Texas. The company is developing the technique. “With enough data, we could identify which country, which mining place, even the individua
1014、l mine a gemstone comes from,” McManus told Science News.Some gemstones, including many diamonds, come from war-torn countries. Sales of those “blood minerals” may encourage violent civil wars where innocent people are injured or killed. In an effort to reduce the trade in blood minerals, the U.S. g
1015、overnment passed law in July 2010 that requires companies that sell gemstones to determine the origins of their stones.To figure out where gemstones come from, McManus and her team focus a powerful laser on a small sample of the gemstone. The technique is called laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy.
1016、 Just as heat can turn ice into water or water into steam, energy from the laser changes the state of matter of the stone. The laser changes a miniscule part of the gemstone into plasma, a gas state of matter in which tiny particles（微粒）called electrons separate from atoms.The plasma, which is superh
1017、ot, produces a light pattern. (The science of analyzing this kind of light pattern is called spectroscopy.) Different elements produce different patterns, but McManus and her team say that gemstones from the same area produce similar patterns. Materialytics has already collected patterns from thousa
1018、nds of gemstones, including more than 200 from diamonds. They can compare the light pattern from an unknown gemstone to patterns they do know and look for a match. The light pattern acts like a signature, telling the researchers the origin of the gemstone.In a small test, the laser technique correct
1019、ly identified the origins of 95 out of every 100 diamonds. For gemstones like emeralds and rubies, the technique proved successful for 98 out of every 100 stones. The scientists need to collect and analyze more samples, including those from war-torn countries, before the tool is ready for commercial
1020、 use.Scientists like Barbara Dutrow, a mineralogist from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, find the technique exciting. “This is a basic new tool that could provide a better fingerprint of a material from a particular locality,” she told Science News. 66.

But while our daily routines rely on clocks that tell us the time, science is discovering that our well-being is influenced by a very different kind of timepiece. Circadian rhythms
1027、-the human bodys own internal clock-have a powerful influence on our health and behaviour. They are programmed from birth and control functions ranging from temperature and blood pressure to sleep patterns.In recent years researchers have also discovered that this built-in mechanism can influence ev
1028、erything from the way we react to medicines to how well we learn music.The latest example, from experts at Harvard University in the US, shows that the human body clock can even dictate whether or not we are likely to tell the truth. Researchers found it was easier for people to fib（撒小谎） in the afte
1029、rnoon because, as they were tired, the self control that would normally prevent them from lying started to break down. Tiredness made it harder to resist the temptation to tell lies-especially if it meant they got a financial reward at the end.“The body clock has a great effect on us all,” says Prof
1030、essor Jim Horne from the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University. “Most people tend to feel good around late morning and then decline in the early afternoon. But the time most of us will feel our sharpest is between 6pm and 8pm. Thats because sleepiness tends to build up throughout the day.
1031、 By early evening our body clock kicks in to wake us up. One reason may be to ensure we get home safely. When our ancestors were coming home after hunting all day their internal clocks kicked in to get them home in one piece.”So what effects do circadian rhythms have and whats the best time of day t
