10、ut 30 COver 40二.阅读理解（每题2分，共40分）第一部分 阅读下面的文章，从每题后面所给的四个选项中选出正确的一项。A Mrs. Packletide intended to shoot a tiger. Not that the desire to kill had suddenly come to her, or that she felt she would leave India safer with one wild beast less. It was because Loona Bimberton had recently taken a plane to the
11、forest and killed a tiger, and the newspapers showed photographs of Loona Bimberton with a tiger-skin on. In a world supposed to be moved by hunger and by love, Mrs. Packletides movements were largely governed by dislike of Loona Bimberton. Circumstances proved favorable. Mrs. Packletide had offered
12、 a thousand rupees (印度卢比) for the opportunity of shooting a tiger without risk or effort, and it happened that an old tiger was frequently coming to a neighboring village at night. He was so old that he couldnt kill animals in the wild and just satisfied his appetite to the smaller household animals
13、. The villagers were eager to earn the thousand rupees; children were posted night and day in the jungle to watch the tiger, and the cheap goats were left about to keep him from going elsewhere. The one great fear was that he should die of old age before the day of Mrs. Packletides shoot.The great n
14、ight arrived. A platform had been built in a tree, on which sat Mrs. Packletide and her paid companion, Miss Mebbin. A goat with a loud bleat (咩咩叫) was tied down at the correct distance. With an accurate gun, they waited for the coming of the tiger. “I suppose we are in some danger?” said Miss Mebbi
15、n. She was not actually nervous about the wild beast, but she was unwilling to perform a bit more service than she had been paid for. “Its a very old tiger. It couldnt spring up here even if it wanted to.” said Mrs. Packletide. Their conversation was cut short by the appearance of the old tiger. He
16、saw the goat, and lay on the earth for a short rest before attacking. The gun fired very loudly, and the great yellow beast jumped to one side and then rolled over in the stillness of death. In a moment a crowd of excited villagers appeared on the scene, and their shouting carried the glad news to t
17、he village. It was Miss Mebbin who found that the goat was dying from a bullet-wound, while no wound could be found on the tiger. Evidently the wrong animal had been hit, and the tiger had died of heart-failure, caused by the sudden loud noise of the gun. Mrs. Packletide was annoyed at the discovery
18、; but anyway, she owned a dead tiger, and the villagers, anxious for their thousand rupees, gladly accepted the fiction that she had shot the tiger. And Miss Mebbin was a paid companion. Therefore Mrs. Packletide faced the cameras with a light heart, and her pictures appeared on the newspapers of En
19、gland and America. As for Loona Bimberton, she refused to look at a newspaper for weeks, and was in a depressed emotion for quite some time. Mrs. Packletides tiger-skin was inspected and admired by the neighbors, and Mrs. Packletide went to the Costume Ball in the character of Diana (狩猎女神). “How amu
20、sed everyone would be if they knew what really happened,” said Miss Mebbin a few days after the ball. “What do you mean?” asked Mrs. Packletide quickly. “How you shot the goat and frightened the tiger to death,” said Miss Mebbin, with her unpleasant laugh. “No one would believe it,” said Mrs. Packle
21、tide, her face changing color1 rapidly. “Loona Bimberton would,” said Miss Mebbin. Mrs. Packletides face settled on greenish white. “You surely wouldnt give me away?” she asked. “Ive seen a weekend cottage near Dorking,” said Miss Mebbin, “six hundred and eighty. Quite a bargain, only I dont happen
22、to have the money.”Miss Mebbin possessed the pretty weekend cottage. Mrs. Packletide lost interest in animal-hunting. “The extra expenses are so heavy,” she said to inquiring friends.21.What is the message conveyed in the story?A. Life is hard for one to predict. B. Everything comes for a reason.C.
23、Its unwise to keep bad company. D. False pride costs more than expected. 22. What was the result of Mrs. Packletides shooting?A. The old tiger was shot to death. B. Neither the tiger nor the goat was shot.C. The old tiger missed being shot. D. Both the goat and the tiger were shot.23. Mrs. Packletid
24、e planned to shoot a tiger because she _.A. would leave India safer B. hated the wild animalC. admired her good friend D. disliked a certain personB Occasional self-medication has always been part of normal living. The making and selling of drugs have a long history and are closely linked, like medi
25、cal practice itself, with the belief in magic. Only during the last hundred years or so has the development of scientific techniques made it possible for some of the causes of symptoms to be understood, so that more accurate diagnosis has become possible. The doctor is now able to follow up the corr
26、ect diagnosis(诊断)of many illnesses with specific treatment of their causes. In many other illnesses, of which the causes remain unknown, it is still limited, like the unqualified prescriber (出具处方者), to the treatment of symptoms. The doctor is trained to decide when to treat symptoms only and when to
27、 attack the cause: this is the essential difference between medical prescribing and self-medication. The advance of technology has brought about much progress in some fields of medicine, including the development of scientific drug therapy (治疗法). In many countries public health organization is impro
28、ving and peoples nutritional standards have risen. Parallel with such beneficial trends have two harmful effects. One is the use of high-pressure advertising by the pharmaceutical（制药）industry, which has tended to influence both patients and doctors and has led to the overuse of drugs generally. The
29、other is the emergence of the sedentary (需要久坐的) society with its faulty ways of life: lack of exercise, over-eating, unsuitable eating, not enough sleep, too much smoking and drinking. People with disorders arising from faulty habits such as these, as well as from unhappy human relationships, often
30、resort to self-medication and so add the taking of pharmaceuticals to the list. Advertisers go to great lengths to catch this market. Clever advertising, aimed at chronic (慢性的) sufferers who will try anything because doctors have not been able to cure them, can induce such faith in a preparation, pa
31、rticularly if steeply priced, that it will produceby suggestiona very real effect in some people. Advertisements are also aimed at people suffering from mild complaints such as simple colds and coughs, which clear up by themselves within a short time. These are the main reasons why laxatives, indige
32、stion remedies, painkillers, tonics, vitamin and iron tablets and many other preparations are found in quantity in many households. It is doubtful whether taking these things ever improves a persons health; it may even make it worse. Worse because the preparation may contain unsuitable ingredients;
33、worse because the taker may become dependent on them; worse because they might be taken in excess; worse because they may cause poisoning, and worse of all because symptoms of some serious underlying cause may be masked and therefore medical help may not be sought.24. The first paragraph is intended
34、 to _.A. suggest that self-medication has a long historyB. define what diagnosis means exactlyC. praise doctors for their expertiseD. tell the symptoms from the causes25. Advertisements are aimed at people suffering from mild complaints because _.A. they often watch ads on TVB. they are more likely
35、to buy the drugs advertisedC. they generally lead a sedentary lifeD. they dont take to sports and easily catch colds26. Paragraphs 2 and 3 explain _.A. those good things are not without side effectsB. why clever advertising is so powerfulC. why in modern times self-medication is still practisedD. wh
36、y people develop faulty ways of life27. The best title for the passage would be _.A. Medical Practice B. Clever Advertisin C. Self-Medication D. Self-TreatmentC In ancient Japan, if you saved someones life, they would make it their duty to spend the rest of their life serving you. Nowadays, if you r
37、escue someones story, he or she will feel the same kind of gratitude (感激). It happens all the time. Someone in a group is telling a story and, just before their big point, BOOM! Theres an interruption. Someone new joins the group, a waiter with a plate of biscuits comes over, or a baby starts crying
38、. Suddenly everyones attention turns to the new arrival, the food on the plate, or the “charming” little child. Nobody is aware of the interruption except the speaker. They forget all about the fact that the speaker hasnt made his or her point. Or youre all sitting around the living room and someone
39、 is telling a joke. Suddenly, just before their big punch line (妙语), little Johnny drops a dish or the phone rings. After the crash, everyone talks about little Johnnys carelessness. After the call, the subject turns to the upcoming marriage or medical operation of the caller. Nobody remembers the g
40、reat punch line got unfinished except the joke teller. When its you entertaining everyone at a restaurant, have you ever noticed how you can almost set your clock by the waiter coming to take everyones order just before your funny punch line? Most joke and story tellers are too shy to say, after the
41、 interruption, “Now, as I was saying ” Instead, theyll spend the rest of the evening feeling bad they didnt get to finish. Heres where you come in. Rescue them with the technique I call “Lend a Helping Tongue.” Watch the gratitude in the storytellers eyes as he stabilizes where his story sunk and he
42、 sails off again toward the center of attention. His expression and the appreciation of your consideration by the rest of the group are often reward enough. You are even more fortunate if you can rescue the story of someone who can hire you, promote you, buy from you, or otherwise lift your life. Bi
43、g winners have excellent memories. When you do them subtle favors like Lend a Helping Tongue, they find a way to pay you back.28. Very often, a storyteller cannot make his point because _.A. people are more interested in food than his storyB. many guests bring their babies to the partyC. he is inter
44、rupted by something unexpectedD. his story is easily forgotten by the listeners29. From Paragraph 3, we know that when someone is telling a joke, _.A. something bad will surely happen just before their punch lineB. listeners attention is often drawn to something elseC. the only person really interes
45、ted in the joke is the joke tellerD. the waiter knows when to take everyones order30. How can we help the joke and story tellers when they are interrupted?A. By giving them a chance to finish.B. By comforting them to make them happy.C. By going on telling the story for them.D. By teaching them some
46、useful techniques.31. What is the text mainly about?A. People should learn how to take turns in a conversation.B. We can win someones heart by getting him back to his story.C. Telling jokes will make you the center of attention.D. It is impolite to cut in on someones talk.D Once upon a time, science
47、 fiction was just a style among other styles. There were crime stories, there were horror stories, there was literary fictionand there was science fiction. But today science themes dominate these other styles. Its difficult to think of much modern crime, horror or “serious” fiction that doesnt invol
48、ve science. And its not just books. With every second movie and computer game having a sci-fi element, science fiction seems to have controlled our entire entertainment culture. Its clear that if we want to define science fiction we should relate it to the role that science plays in our lives. Perha
49、ps the place to start is by noting when it began. Although some experts have claimed to be able to trace sci-fi back to ancient times, it is more plausible to find it in initial form in the 19th century, when industrial societies arose. One of the features that set industrial societies apart from ot
50、her kinds was the increasing part that science played in everyday life. Factories with vast machines turned out huge quantities of goods, which were transported by trains, motor vehicles and ships all over the world. Cities were built on the back of technology, with electricity in homes and hospital
51、s helping everyone to lead healthier, more convenient lives. All of these changes had great effects not only on peoples real lives, but on their imaginative ones. Writers began to articulate these changing physical and mental landscapes, eventually giving science fiction a large and devoted fan base
52、 of especially young readers, who found that it spoke to their curiosity about the future that science would create. But sci-fi reflected fears about science more than it did hopes. These typical early science fiction novel might be a UK novel like H.G. Wells The War of the Worlds (1897). With great
53、 skill, Wells played upon the fears of technology by imagining Earth under threat by a civilization that of men from Mars. The science fiction of today expresses the impact of the computing revolution, robotics and our environmental challenges, while it is less concerned with “little green men from
54、Mars” and other themes of past sci-fi. Given that science, technology and politics are always intertwined (交织), contemporary science fiction often has a great deal to say about power. Many recent novels like American Cory Doctorows Little Brother (2008) are concerned with government and security ser
55、vice “conspiracies (阴谋)” against the people, particularly as the revelations of whistleblowers like Edward Snowden sink in. This can give sci-fi writing a “skeptical” feel. This underlines one of the features that remains constant between the beginnings of the empire of science fiction and its state
56、 today. As then, so now: We want to read about how fearful the future will be, not how it will be a paradise (天堂).32. The underlined word “dominate” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”.A. induce B. represent C. interfere D. influence33. What caused science fiction to appear in the 19th century?A. The
57、curiosity of young readers about the future.B. The changes that the industrial revolution brought about.C. Peoples stretched imagination affected by their real life.D. Peoples fears about science rather than hopes.34. What is mostly conveyed in contemporary science fiction?A. Our earth is threatened
58、 by aliens from Mars.B. Modern crime and horror are involved in science.C. Power is a very important element to ensure security.D. Entertainment culture and environmental issues are crucial.35. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. The impact of the science fiction.B. The development of the science
59、fiction.C. The content of the science fiction.D. The characteristic of the science fiction.第二部分 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。Bad breath can be a major problem. The good news is that it can often be prevented with some simple steps.Bad breath is caused by certain bacteria that grow in the
60、 mouth. When you dont brush regularly, bacteria accumulate in your mouth and between your teeth. 36Certain foods, especially ones like garlic and onions that contain pungent (辛辣的）oils, can contribute to bad breath because the oils are carried to your lungs and out through your mouth. 37Some people t
61、hink that as long as you brush your teeth, you shouldnt have bad breath. 38That, however, just doesnt remove the smell. To sufficiently clean all the surfaces of your teeth, you should brush for at least 2 minutes at least twice a day.Many people believe that if you breathe into your hand, youll kno
62、w when you have bad breath. But its wrong! 39When you talk, you tend to bring out the smell from the back of your mouth (where bad breath starts), which simply breathing doesnt do. Also, because we tend to get used to our own smells, its hard for a person to tell if he or she has bad breath.If youre
63、 concerned about bad breath, make sure youre taking care of your teeth and mouth properly. If you brush properly and visit your dentist for regular cleanings but your bad breath persists, you may have a medical problem. 40They can figure out if something else is behind your bad breath and help you t
64、ake care of it.A. These bacteria make your breath smell.B. In that case, call your doctor or dentist.C. Smoking is also a major cause of bad breath.D. Remember to brush your tongue, too bacteria love to hang out there.E. The truth is that most people only brush their teeth for 30 to 45 seconds.F. Wh

When you breathe, you don use your throat the same way you do when you talk.三.语言知识技能运用（共两节，共45分）【一】完形填空（每题1.5分，共30分）阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。The Lifesaving DogThree-year-old Alida Knobloch and her 60-pou
