27、the street, my mind was flooded by memories of the past. I saw the old apartment building where I had lived and the playground where I had played. As I viewed these once familiar surroundings, images of myself as a child there came to mind. However, what I saw and what I remembered were not the same
28、. I sadly realized that the best memories are those left untouched. My old apartment building, as I remember, was bright and alive. It was more than just a place to live. It was a movie house, a space station, or whatever my young mind could imagine. I would steal away with my friends and play in th
29、e basement. This was always exciting because it was so cool and dark, and there were so many things there to hide among. There was a small river in the back of the building. We would go there to lie in the shade of trees and enjoy ourselves. However, what I saw was completely different. The apartmen
30、t building was now in disrepair. What was once more than a place to live looked hardly worth living in. The windows were all broken. The once clean walls were covered with dirty marks. The river was hardly recognizable. The water was polluted and the trees and flowers were all dead. The once sweet-s
31、melling river now smelled terrible. It was really heartbreaking to see all this.I do not regret having seen my old neighborhood. However, I do not think my innocent childhood memories can ever be the same. I suppose it is true when they say, “You can never go home again.”56. In the first two paragra
32、phs of the passage the writer tells us that _. A. he was very imaginative when he was a child B. he came from a very poor neighborhood C. he lived in Washington D.C. for twenty years D. he had pleasant memories of his old neighborhood57. How did the writer feel when he visited his old neighborhood i
33、n Washington D.C.? A. Very sad. B. Quite excited. C. Very regretful. D. Greatly surprised.58. On his visit to his hometown, the writer found the old apartment building _. A. had been repaired B. seemed unfit to live in C. could hardly be recognized D. looked dirty and smelt horrible59. “You can neve
34、r go home again” in the last sentence of the passage means that _. A. a visit to ones hometown will bring back many sad memories B. one should never revisit his hometown after many years of absence C. one will never find his hometown the same as it was in his childhood memory D. a visit to ones home
35、town will bring back ones pleasant memories of homeBStanley ParkFamily FunChildrens FarmyardThe Childrens Farmyard is home to over 200 animals, birds, and reptiles belonging to about 50 different species. The present day Farmyard, built in 1982 and extended in 1993 is built on the original footprint
36、 of the Childrens Zoo which was established in 1962. Situated on just over one acre of land, two spacious heated barns, outside corrals and yards, and a small stream and pond provide for the comfort of the animals while giving children the opportunity to experience the sights, sounds and smells of a
37、 rural environment. Stanley Park Horse-Drawn Tours Horse-drawn carriage rides are a fun, relaxing and educational way to learn about Stanley Park and its surroundings. The one-hour tour departs every 20-30 minutes, daily, rain or shine, March 15 to October 31, from the Horse-Drawn Tour kiosk beside
38、the Information Booth on Park Drive, just off the Georgia Street entrance to Stanley Park.More information is available at Traffic SchoolChildren aged 5 to 8 can learn the rules of the road at this pint-sized motor course where young drivers use pedal power using miniature traffic signs and stop lig

Each Stanley Park horse-drawn tour lasts one hour.C. School children can learn the rules of the road at Traffic Scho
42、ol.D. Children can swim in small stream and pond in the Childrens Farmyard.61. From the passage we may conclude that in Stanley Park _.A. all the activities are both educational and entertainingB. all the activities are intended for kids onlyC. the Vancouver Aquarium is the visitors favouriteD. all
43、the activities can be attended every day62.If you visit the Stanley Park with your kids at 9:00 March 1st, which activity can you do?A. To visit Childrens Farmyard B. To attend Traffic SchoolC. To make Horse-Drawn TourD. To buy souvenir in the Aquarium63. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A
44、. one can only surf the Internet to get detailed informationB. children can play with the animals in the Childrens FarmyardC. there is a traffic police officer working at the Traffic SchoolD. you can get on a horse-drawn carriage on the Georgia Street( C ) People laugh and people cry. But it is thou
45、ght that emotions such as anger, grief or joy, typically make Americans feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. The shedder of tears(落泪者) is likely to apologize, even when a great tragedy was the cause. The observer of tears is likely to do everything possible to put an end to the emotional tears. But j
46、udging from recent studies of crying behavior, both those responses to tears are often inappropriate and may even be counterproductive (适得其反). Humans are the only animals clearly known to shed emotional tears. Since evolution has given rise to few purposeless physiological responses, it is logical t
47、o assume that crying has one or more functions that increase survival. Although some observers have suggested that crying is a way to ask for assistance form others (as a crying baby might from its mother), the shedding of tears is hardly necessary to get help. Vo-cal (出声的) cries would have been qui
48、te enough, more likely than tears to gain attention. So, it appears that there must be something special about tears themselves. Indeed, the new studies suggest that emotional tears may play a direct role in easing stress. University of Minnesota researchers who are studying the chemical composition
49、 of tears have recently separated two important chemicals from emotional tears. Both chemicals are found only in tears that are shed in response to emotion. Tears shed because of exposure to cut onion would contain no such substance. Other researchers are looking into the usefulness of tears as a me
50、ans of diagnosing human ills and monitoring drugs. At Tulane Universitys Teat Analysis Laboratory Dr. Peter Kastl and his colleagues report that they can use tears to detect drug abuse, to study the causes of dry eye syndrome(综合症) and the effects of eye surgery, and perhaps even to measure exposure
51、to environmental pollutants. 64. What does the phrase both those responses in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Crying out of sorrow and shedding tears for happiness. B. The embarrassment and unpleasant feelings of the observers. C. Linking illness with crying and finding the chemical composition of tears. D.
52、 The tear shedders apology and the observers effort to stop the crying. 65. It is known from the first paragraph that_. A. shedding tears gives unpleasant feelings to Americans B. crying may often result in tragedyC. crying usually wins sympathy from other peopleD. one who sheds tears in public will
53、 be blamed66. From the passage we can infer that_. A. it is unnatural for people to shed tearsB. we can reduce our stress by shedding tearsC. shedders of tears can t get help by crying loudlyD. unlike animals, humans can shed tears for survival( D) She examined him closely, and decided she liked him
54、 much better now, dressed up in a beautiful coat, with a fine feather on top of his hat. And, she named him Feathertop. She looked at Feathertop and laughed with happiness. He is a beauty, she thought. Now what? she thought, feeling troubled again. She felt that Feathertop looked too good to be a sc
55、arecrow. He can do something better, she thought, than just stand near the corn all summer and scare the crows. And she decided on another plan for Feathertop. She took the pipe of tobacco she was smoking and put it into the mouth of Feathertop. Puff, darling, puff, she said to Feathertop. Puff away
56、, my fine fellow. It is your life. Smoke started to rise from Feathertops mouth. At first, it was just a little smoke, but Feathertop worked hard, blowing and puffing. And, more and more smoke came out of him. Puff away, my pet, Mother Rigby said, with happiness. Puff away, my pretty one. Puff for y
57、our life, I tell you. Mother Rigby then ordered Feathertop to walk. Go forward, she said. You have a world before you. Feathertop put one hand out in front of him, trying to find something for support. At the same time he pushed one foot forward with great difficulty. But Mother Rigby shouted and or
58、dered him on, and soon he began to go forward. Then she said, You look like a man, and you walk like a man. Now I order you to talk like a man. Feathertop gasped(喘气), struggled, and at last said in a small whisper, Mother, I want to speak, but I have no brain. What can I say? Ah, you can speak, Moth
59、er Rigby answered. What shall you say? Have no fear. When you go out into the world, you will say a thousand things, and say them a thousand times.and saying them a thousand times again and again, you still will be saying nothing. So just talk, babble like a bird. Certainly you have enough of a brai
60、n for that. Mother Rigby gave Feathertop much money and said Now you are as good as any of them and can hold your head high with importance. But she told Feathertop that he must never lose his pipe and must never let it stop smoking. She warned him that if his pipe ever stopped smoking, he would fal
61、l down and become just a pile of sticks again. Have no fear, Mother, Feathertop said in a big voice and blew a big cloud of smoke out of his mouth. On your way, Mother Rigby said, pushing Feathertop out the door. The world is yours. And if anybody asks you for your name, just say Feathertop. For you
62、 have a feather in your hat and a handful of feathers in your empty head. Feathertop found the streets in town, and many people started to look at him. They looked at his beautiful purple coat and his white silk stockings, and at the pipe he carried in his left hand, which he put back into his mouth
63、 every five steps he walked. They thought he was a visitor of great importance. As Feathertop walked along one of the quieter streets near the edge of town, he saw a very pretty girl standing in front of a small red brick house. A little boy was standing next to her. The pretty girl smiled at Feathe
64、rtop, and love entered her heart. It made her whole face bright with sunlight. 67. How do you understand Rigbys “another plan” in the second paragraph? A. To make Feathertop cleverer. B. To make Feathertop somebody. C. To make Feathertop fall in love. D. To make him talk freely.68. Who do you think
65、Feathertop is after reading the passage? A. A created figure. B. A noble person.C. Mother Rigbys pet. D. A boy of empty head.69.

66、. you look as if you are the most important70. In the last but one paragraph people in the streets tended to think _.A. a man of importance must be a heavy smokerB. a man of importance must communicate with others properlyC. a man of importance must be wonderfully dressedD. a man of importance must
67、behave differently from others第卷（非选择题 三部分 共35分）第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） In addition to self-awareness, imagination, and conscience, it is the fourth quality independent will that really makes effective self-management possible. It is the ability to make decisions and choices and to act in agree
68、ment with them. It is the ability to act rather than to be acted upon, to actively carry out the program we have developed through the other three qualities. The human will is an amazing thing. Time after time, it has overcome unbelievable difficulties. The Helen Kellers of this world give dramatic(
69、给人深刻印象的) evidence to the value, the power of the independent will. But as we examine this quality in the context of effective self-management, we realize its usually not the dramatic, the visible(可见的), the once-in-a-lifetime, up-by-the-bootstraps(自立自强的) effort that brings lasting success. This speci
70、al ability comes from learning how to use this great quality in the decisions we make every day. The degree to which we have developed our independent will in our everyday lives is measured by our personal honesty. Honesty is, fundamentally, the value we place on ourselves. Its our ability to make a
71、nd keep promises to ourselves, to “walk our talk.” Effective management is putting first things first. While leadership decides what “first things” are, it is management that puts them first, day-by-day, moment-by-moment. Management is discipline (training to be self-controlled), carrying it out. Di
72、scipline obtains from beliefbelief in a set of values, belief in an overriding(最主要的) purpose, to a long-term or short term goal that must be carried out. In other words, if you are an effective manager of yourself, your discipline comes from within; it is a function of your independent will. You are
73、 a follower of your own deep values and their source. And you have the will, the quality to control your feelings and moods rather than depend on others or have your work half done.

80、hese skills.Teaching kids to pick up things by themselves is a good way to teach them not to throw things on the ground. For example, if a class has to make paper cutouts (剪下的图样), after cutting, have the children pick up the wastepaper and place it in the wastebasket.The golden rule of good citizens
81、hip should be taught at this age. The rule is “One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself”. Teachers should ask their students how they want to be treated. There are many answers, such as not being treated in bad manners. The teacher should explain that others dont like to be
82、scared, so you should not scare others either.Following the laws is good citizenship. Proper games can be played in the classroom. Games have rules, and all students in the class should follow the rules of the games. If a child doesnt want to follow, it is up to the teacher to explain them to the ch

86、 Therefore, he suggests teaching children to pick up things by themselves, to respect others and follow the laws. As far as I am concerned, a civilized citizen is supposed to respect others. In public places, such as restaurants, stations or hospitals, a civilized citizen would not speak or talk lou
87、dly. Besides, a civilized citizen ought to be always ready to reach out their helping hands. Last but not the least, a civilized citizen should be aware of the significance of obeying the law. As a senior high school student, I will do what I can to become a civilized citizen in my daily life. For example, I will pick up rubbish on the ground and put it into the dustbin. On my way to school, I will follow the traffic rules. All in all, I will do what I am expected to do. Only in this way can we make our hometown a more comfortable place for all of us to live in.版权所有：高考资源网()
