(2011年厦门质量检查)Experts say that agriculture provides fourteen percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions each year.The gases released include carbon
dioxide，a major cause of global warming.
Twenty－one nations around the world recently joined forces to better understand and prevent greenhouse gas emissions from farms.The Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases was launched at the United Nations conference on climate change.The meeting took place in Copenhagen，Denmark last month.
Agricultural experts blame a number of farm activities for producing greenhouse gases.For example，animal waste and cattle digestive systems release methane(甲烷，沼气)gas.Fertilized soil and the burning of crop waste also release harmful gases into the air.Experts say some methods of farming—turning the soil to prepare for planting—also release harmful carbon dioxide.
An official of the European Commission’s Directorate General for Research says agricultural greenhouse gas emissions can be cut.Maive Rute suggests feeding animals a diet designed to reduce emissions.
The new agricultural research group says protecting against global warming is only part of its purpose.It says the world also needs to develop better farming methods to feed growing populations in poor countries.
United States Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said no one single nation can fight agricultural greenhouse gas emissions and increase food production at the same time.This is why the alliance is important for combining resources and finding new ones.
The United States Department of Agriculture will increase spending on farm emissions research by ninety million dollars over the next four years.The total will reach one hundred and thirty million dollars.The U．S.D.A.will share the research with other countries in the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases and support researchers from developing countries that belong to the alliance.Money from the Borlaug Fellowship Program will let the researchers study agricultural climate change with American scientists.
Mister Vilsack said that just as climate change has no borders，there should be no borders for research.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair admitted on a television program that he has never sent flowers to his wife Cherie and that Hollywood beauty Grace Kelly was his dream lover.
Blair，who allowed Channel 4 interviewer June Sarpong
to shadow him for two days last month，made other personal revelations(被曝光的秘闻) when asked questions he rarely heard on the usual television political programs.
During the interview for a program targeting 18to30yearolds，the prime minister admitted that he sometimes had to “wing it” when making public appearances and that he wanted to go out for a drink without being recognized.
However，the most dramatic revelation was his reply to Sarpong’s question whether he sti

her flowers，she will get worried，”Blair said.But he added，“I am romantic.There are other ways of being romantic.”
Blair needed a few moments to recall which posters he had on his bedroom wall as a youngster，and then revealed，“I’ll tell you...actually，when I was younger，I loved Grace Kelly.”
Blair admitted he initially found it “odd” to be prime minister and to be rushed in motorcades from appointment to appointment，and worried that his lifestyle left him “a bit isolated” from ordinary people.
He admitted that he was constantly on the phone between public appearances，and rarely had time to prepare for his next event，telling Sarpong，“I wing it all the time.”
Asked what he would do if he could be invisible for a day，Blair said he would “just walk down the street and go to the pub...just be absolutely normal”．
16．It seems that the author wants to tell us ________.
A．Blair doesn’t like his wife so he has never sent her flowers B．such great people as Blair sometimes want to live as ordinary people C．Grace Kelly was once Blair’s girlfriend D．Blair was not satisfied with his life
17．What does the underlined word “shadow” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Follow and interview. B．Shade. C．Stay with. D．Keep away from.
18．Which word can be used to describe Blair according to this passage? A．Serious.
B．Easygoing.
C．Kind.
D．Dull.
19．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 7 mean? A．Blair didn’t take his public appearances seriously. B．Blair didn’t know what to say before the public.
C．Blair often had to do or talked about something without preparation. D．Blair wanted to get away from the public. 20．Which of the statements is TRUE? A．Blair doesn’t know what is romantic. B．Blair’s wife doesn’t like flowers.

D．Blair thinks he is the same as ordinary people. Ⅲ.任务型读写
Some people have the ideas that nothing can be done about their poor reading ability.They feel hopeless about it.Can you learn to read better, or must you agree that nothing can be done about it?
To be sure, people’s abilities are different.You cannot expect to do everything as well as certain other people do.If all the students in a class tried out for basketball, some would be very good players; others would be very poor; and many would be in between.But even the very poor players can become much better players if they are guided in the right way, and with plenty of practice.It is the same with reading.Some seem to enjoy reading and to read well without any special help.Others find reading a slow and tiring job.In between, there are all degrees of reading ability.
Many experiments have shown that just about every poor reader can improve his/her reading ability.Firstly, the poor readers were given tests of reading ability.Secondly, some of the causes of their poor reading were discovered, and then they were given special instruction and practice in reading.After a few months, another test of the same kind was given.In nearly all cases, these people had raised their reading scores.

(2014·深圳二调)Everybody cheats.Whether it's the taxi driver who tricks a visitor and takes them the long way round，or the shop assistant who doesn't give the correct change，or the police officer who accepts a bribe(贿赂)－everybody's at it.Cheats in the nest include the scientist whose research was based on fake data，the game show competitors who worked with a friend in the audience to win a million pounds，and the doctor who made up his qualifications and wasn't really a doctor at all.Everybody cheats；nobody's playing the game.
Is cheating acceptable，a natural way of surviving and being successful？Or is it something that should be_frowned_on，and young people discouraged from doing？If it's the latter how can we explain to children why so many bend the rules?
Take sport for example.The World Cup was filled with cheating.Whether diving，pretending to be hurt or denying a handball，footballers will do anything for a free-kick or a penalty shot.France striker Henry denied cheating to win the freekick which led to his side's second goal in their 3－1 victory over Spain.Many footballers，however，are often putting it on.Whatever the nationality there's one common ploy: the player roils over holding their leg，ankle or head seeming to be in great pain.As a result a yellow card and/or freekick is given for the foul and then，a few seconds later，the player is up and about as if nothing had happened！The ref(裁判)may be taken in by it but youngsters watching the game aren't.They also see their heroes getting away with it.
Of course it's not just football.In 1998 the Tour de France，the world's greatest cycling event，was hit by a drugtaking scandal(丑闻)．The 40 bottles of forbidden drugs found with the Festina team caused a massive investigation that almost caused the Tour to be abandoned.One rider，Virenque，was banned for 9 months.He claimed：“You have cheats in sport，just as you do in business－there will always be people trying to take a short cut.At least we're not turning a blind eye to the problem，which other sports are.”
Is it all unavoidable？There's huge pressure on all athletes to perform for their fans and for their sponsors.It's success，money and power that rule professional
sport rather than an honest attempt to do the best one can.
Meanwhile companies around the world are losing billions of dollars to fake products.From cutprice CDs and DVDs to sportswear，cheap fake products are everywhere.It has become socially acceptable to buy fake Gucci bags and illegal copies of films.If parents are doing this，their children will follow.
So perhaps it's not surprising that around the world more pupils than ever are caught cheating during exams.In one case missing exam papers were put up for sale on the Internet.In another，widespread cheating took place by pupils using their mobile phones to receive texted answers.They blame the pressure put on them to do well in exams.It doesn't help that their role models are also cheats.Surely we can't complain when we're setting such a bad example.
1．According to the passage，in which way can a game show player cheat?
A．By taking an indirect way.
B．By gaining aid from a friend.
C．By taking forbidden drugs.
D．By selling fake products.
2．The phrase “be frowned on”(Paragraph 2)most probably means________.
A．to be disapproved of
C．to be taken the place of B．to be pushed forward D．to be stuck with
3．The writer's purpose in writing this passage is to________.
A．explain why people in almost every field cheat
B．complain about cheats in school education
C．persuade young people not to cheat in exams
D．blame the society for tolerating cheats
4．Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
A．Exams are not a good way of testing children.
B．Children are natural cheats.
C．If adults cheat，children will cheat too.
D．Everyone including children cheats.

(2014·南京三模)Father was a hardworking man who delivered bread as a living to support his wife and three children.He spent all his evenings after work attending classes，hoping to improve himself so that he could one day find a betterpaid job.Except for Sundays，Father hardly ate a meal together with his family.He worked
and studied very hard because he wanted to provide his family with the best that money could buy.
Whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them，he reasoned that he was doing all this for them.Though he often longed to spend more time with his family，he weighed his contribution to his family above everything else.
The day came when the examination results were announced.To his joy，Father passed，and with distinction too！Soon after，he was offered a good job as a senior supervisor which paid handsomely.
Like a dream come true，Father could now afford to provide his family with life's little luxuries like nice clothing，fine food and vacation abroad.
However，the family still did not get to see Father for most of the week.He continued to work very hard，hoping to be promoted to the position of manager.In fact，to make himself a worthy candidate for the promotion，he took another course in an open university.
Again，whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them，he reasoned that he was doing all this for them.Though he often longed to spend more time with his family，he weighed his contribution to his family above everything else.
Father's hard work paid off and he was promoted，Happily，he decided to hire a maid to relieve his wife from her domestic tasks.He also felt that their three-room flat was no longer big enough.It would be nice for his family to be able to enjoy the facilities and comfort of a condominium.Having experienced the rewards of his hard work many times，Father resolved to further his studies and work at being promoted again.The family still did not get to see much of him.In fact，sometimes Father had to work on Sundays entertaining clients.
Over again，whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them，he reasoned that he was doing all this for them.Though he often longed to spend more time with his family，he weighed his contribution to his family above everything else.
As expected，Father's hard work paid off again and he bought a beautiful condominium overlooking the coast of Singapore.On the first Sunday evening at their new home，Father declared to his family that he decided not to take any more courses or pursue any more promotions.From then on he was going to devote more time to his
family，and it was a promise.
Father did not wake up the next day.
5．Father worked and studied very hard because________.

A．To their joy，Father can have a good rest in the end.
B．They should have stopped Father from working so hard.
C．Thank God，Father can stay home with them.

D．To imply a sad ending to the story.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
Mental and health experts believe personality plays an important part in how we experience stress. Personality is the way a person acts, feels and thinks.
Some people are aggressive and always in a hurry. They often become angry when things do not happen the way they planned. They belong to “Type A” personality. Studies suggest that these people often get stressrelated disorders. The “Type B” personality is calmer. These people are able to deal with all kinds of situations more easily. As a result, they are less affected by stress.
Studies have also shown that men and women deal with stress differently. Women seem to be better able to deal with stress than men are.However, experts say women are three times more likely to develop depression in reaction to the stress in their lives. American writer John Gray became famous for his book, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. He notes that men and women have opposite ways of dealing with stress. For a man, the best way is to rest and forget about daily problems. But a woman suffering from stress needs to talk about her problems.
Experts say there are several ways to deal with stress, including deep breathing, exercise, eating healthy foods, getting enough rest and balancing the time spent in working and playing.Exercise is one of the most effective stressreduction measures, as physical changes from exercise make you feel better. In addition, exercise can also improve the body's defense system against disease.
Keeping stress to yourself can make problems worse. Experts say that expressing emotions to friends or family members or writing down your feelings can help reduce stress. And they also suggest that people should attempt to accept or change stressful situations whenever possible.
36．According to the experts, ________．
A．people respond to stress quite differently
B．people make the same response to stress
C．unlike women, men tend to feel depressed more easily
D．personality has nothing to do with how we experience stress
37．Compared with “Type A” personality, “Type B” personality ________．
A．causes more troublesB．is less able to cope with different situations
C．is more easily affected by stressD．tends to solve problems more peacefully
38．By saying “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus”， John Gray means that they ________．
A．experience emotions in a different wayB．cope with stress in a different way
C．suffer from stress in a similar wayD．develop stress in the opposite way
39．If you want to reduce your stress, you can ________．
A．take some exerciseB．keep it to yourselfC．remain silentD．ignore the stressful situation

参考答案
Ⅰ.1.D 考查非谓语动词。第一空用seated或sitting作宾补，第二空处是with的复合结构，由fix one's eyes on sth 可知应用过去分词fixed。
2．C 考查形容词作状语。be content to对„„感到满意。contented为形容词作定语，意为“满意的”。句意：我们静静地坐着，能在一起感到很满足。
3．C 考查介词用法。convince sb of sth使某人相信某事。介词on可表示“在„„方面”。句意：科学家们相信大笑对于人的身心健康有积极的作用。
4．B 考查短语辨析。A项应为badly in need of sth(非常需要某物)；B项意为“缺乏”；C项意为“较好的；较为宽裕的”；D项意为“拼搏；挣扎”。句意：这所学校严重缺乏有教学经验的教师，这引起了很大的关注。
5．C 根据前面的looked here and there判断，我们的老师“好像”在找东西，所以用as if。
6．C 考查动词短语辨析。A项意为“切开；切碎”；B项意为“切掉；删去”；C项意为“切断；隔绝”；D项意为“抄近路”。句意：由于通往村里的道路都被毁掉了，所以有几个村庄被与外界隔绝开来。
7．C 考查动词的时态。电影《国王的演讲》已经上映，故用一般过去时。
8．C 考查副词辨析。occasionally 偶尔； regularly 定期地； constantly 不断地，经常地； frequently 频繁地，经常地。句意：这台机器用了好多年了，难怪(它)偶尔运转不良。
9．B.本题考查条件状语从句，句意是“如果生意没有改进的话，她决定关闭这家商店”，所以答案为B。
10．D failure表示“失败的人或事”时，是可数名词；表示“失败”时，是不可数名词。第一空指“失败者”，所以用a；第二空指“以失败告终”，所以不加冠词。
11．D 由up to now可知，此句应该使用现在完成时态。
12．D 本句考查It takes(sb)sth(to do sth)。原句转换成陈述句语序为：It will take„deaths to convince the authorities of the need to test these drugs.。
13．C 此处考查“keep＋宾语＋宾语补足语”的结构。the children与entertain之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，所以要用过去分词作宾语补足语。
14．A 考查动词短语辨析。句意：——你是怎样这么容易就认出你的朋友的？——她是那种就算是在人群中也很显眼的女孩。pick out选出，拣出，辨认出；stand out引人注目，脱颖而出；stand for代表，象征；take out取出，带„„出去；stand by站在„„一边，袖手旁观，支持；stand aside站开。
15．C 考查虚拟语气。would rather后通常接不用that引导的从句，从句用过去式，但不表示“过去”，而表示“现在”或“将来”。
Ⅱ.我的学生都是一些身体残疾或智力有障碍的孩子。Mark行动不便，在一次学校组织的残疾人奥林匹克运动会中，Mark落在最后，他的三个朋友返回去跟Mark共同冲向终点。他们的行为深刻地阐释了残疾人奥运会的真正意义之所在。
16．A 从第一句中的“teaching”一词可以看出作者是一名教师，因此这里是说“我”的“学生”。
17．D 从前一句可知Mark患脑瘫，行动不便，因此他是被束缚在“轮椅”上。24空所在句子中的“wheelchair”是答案提示。
18．B 前一句提到他必须跟自己的身体不便作斗争，本句提到他有积极的态度，前后构成转折关系，因此选B。
19．C 联系上下文可知，他积极乐观，因此很受同学们的“喜爱”。
20．D 由23空后的“well in their sports events”可知，这三个学生擅长“运动”。
21．C Mark希望像他们一样，自己不受身体不便的束缚。因此选body。
