2011各区一模C篇CSometimes you think your teacher hates you? Youre not the only one. Teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes(冲突), just like any two people who dont get along. After all, teachers arent perfect. However, most of the time, there are lot of reasons why you complain about your teachers bad attitude(态度) to you. So try to find out if your teacher really does dislike you. Or something else is going on. Here are some questions to ask yourself: * Is your teacher angry at you personally, or at something youve been doing? All teachers have something that they strongly dislike. Maybe your teacher hates it when people whisper(低声说话) in class. If you try hard not to do these things, the situation might get better. * Are you the only person being treated badly, or is your teacher shouting at the whole class? Ask your classmates if theyve been having trouble with the teacher too. If they say yes, perhaps your teacher is having problems outside of school, or is new and feels something badly. *Are you working up to your ability? You and the kid sitting beside you both got a C on the last test, and your teacher told you that you could do better, but didnt say anything to her! Isnt this unfair? Well, teachers often treat different students in different levels in different ways. They will be angry if they feel someone does not do the work he is able to. Its their way to encourage a student to try a little harder. * Are you more sensitive(敏感) than most students? Try to find out if you are very sensitive to be criticized(批评). If the other students arent as sensitive, they will not be in such trouble even though the teacher treated them the same way. Theres nothing wrong with being sensitive, but if you act to criticism differently than most kids, this would be the reason why you think your teacher doesnt like you. 54. The writer thinks that it is _ when teachers and students have clashes.A. not a matter at allB. a serious problem C. something normal D. no good for students55. If only one boy is criticized in a teachers class, the boy should _.A. ask his classmates for help B. think more about himselfC. talk with the teacher at once D. treat the teacher the same way56. The writer wrote the passage to tell students how to _. A. get along with their teachers B. do during a class as a studentC. understand the teachers feeling D. act when they are criticizedCMy name is Lin Hui. I like to tell stories about people who work together. What is even better is when countries help each other and build a good friendship. An excellent example of this happened when Britain and China worked together to bring the Milu deer back to China.Milu deer, a kind of animal with large horns(角), used to be common in China long ago. Like other deer they lived together and ate grass and the soft parts of trees. Milu deer were often killed for food or sport. The Ming and Qing dynasties(朝代) did not protect them and many were killed. That is how the Milu deer disappeared from China.Luckily before all of them were killed, some were taken to Britain to improve the environment of the beautiful park which belonged to the Duke of Bedford. He liked them so much that he took them from China to Britain. Milu deer liked the cool, wet weather in England and their number increased year by year. As a result, when in 1985 the government of China wanted to bring back the Milu deer, the Duke of Bedford was able to help. The first deer came back to China to the Nanhaizi Milu Park 20 kilometers south of Beijing and the centre in Dafeng, Jiangsu province.The deer certainly seem happy to be back in China because their number has grown quickly. There are now so many of them that a new park has been opened for them in Hubei Province. At the moment the Milu deer live in centres where they are being well protected and cared for. It is hoped that one day there will be enough animals to let them live in the wild again. 54. The Milu deer disappeared long ago in China because .A. they were not well protected B. they could find nothing to eatC. they died of a serious disease D. they had the habit of living together55. After some of the Milu deer were taken to Britain, .A. people used them to carry things B. the Duke of Beford sold them allC. they didnt like the weather thereD. their number became larger and larger56. Whats the best title of the passage? A. The number of the Mulu deer. B. The life of the Milu deer.C. The return of the Milu deer. D. The importance of the Milu deer.CThe rising costs of health care have become a problem for many countries in the world. To deal with this problem, it is reported that a big part of the governments health budge（预算）has been used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment. Actually, many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. For example, people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold. But many people get sick because they fail to do so, and have to spend money seeing a doctor.Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt（破产）if the patients had taken ways for early prevention. For example, keeping a balanced diet（均衡饮食）, such as not consuming too much animal fat and trying to have enough vegetables and fruits, seems to be quite important.One very effective and costless way of prevention is regular（定期的）exercise, which is necessary for a healthy mind and body. Regular exercise, such as running, walking, and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better.In addition, health education plays a key role in improving peoples health. By giving people more information about health, countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it. For example, knowing ones family medical history is an effective way to help keep healthy. Information about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes, which will work before it is too late. However, paying more attention to disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. After all, prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect. In conclusion, we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health prevention and education.54. Whats the meaning of the underlined word “consuming” in Paragraph 2? A. Avoiding. B. Producing. C. Eating. D. Cooking. 55. Whats the best title of the passage?A. Health or Illness? B. Exercise or Illness? C. Prevention or Education? D. Prevention or Treatment?56. We can learn from the passage that _. A. more health education should be given B. dressing warmly can prevent diseases C. a balanced diet is cheaper than regular exerciseD. the governments health budget should be increasedCDo you want to watch a hot movie while chatting with your friend on the phone，or shop with your mobile phone while on a train? The ongoing technology development has made these things come to our daily life It is said that China has had the right to use the third generation telecommunication technology (3G) since 2009. The so-called 3G technology allows mobile phone users enjoy high-speed Internet-based servicesIt helps increase mobility in many areas of our lives Nowadays, many mobile phones allow you to send e-mails or read the latest stories on the Internet，but the speed is not pleasing，which is only 10 kilobytes (KB) per secondBut 3G goes on the Internet with a speed of up to 2 megabytes (MB) per secondIf recent mobile technology is like riding bikes on a country road，then 3G will make you fly on the information highwayFor example，a mobile phone with 3G technology can help download a three-minute MP3 song within two minutes while it will take you up to an hour to do this with your common mobile phone In the UK and many other European countries where 3G services have around since 2003，3G has already become a part of modem business lifeNowadays，office workers are able to spend some of their working hours at homeThe new technology allows the first aid services to provide a video link with a hospital or doctor for patients who need special care55From the passage we can know that Awe cant enjoy Internet-based services now at the moment in ChinaBit is possible for us to enjoy MP3 music with our common mobile phonesCdoctors can examine patients by using 3G mobile phones in the UK Dthanks to 3G phones，many office workers neednt travel to work any more56The writer probably regards a 3G mobile phone as _. Aa fast communication tool Ba flying tool on the highway Ca video link to the hospital Da chatting friend on the train57Whats the main idea of this passage? AYou have to buy a new mobile phone if you want to enjoy 3G. B3G mobile technology makes our life richer and more convenient.CIn the future, you can enjoy high-quality music using your phone.D3G movies on mobile phones are coming to us in the nearby future.Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches along the highway I travel daily to work. There are some particular blue flowers that have always caught my eye. Ive noticed that they bloom only in the morning hours and the afternoon sun is too warm for them. Every day for about two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers. This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. Ive often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers. Every day I drove past the flowers thinking, “Ill stop on my way home and dig them.” “Gee, I dont want to get my good clothes dirty” Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a folding shovel（铲子）one year in my car to be used for that expressed purpose. One day on my way home from work, I was shocked to see that the highway department had destroyed the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, “Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring.” A week ago we were shocked and saddened to learn that my oldest sister has a terminal brain tumor（肿瘤）. She is 20 years older than me and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we havent been as close as we all would have liked. I couldnt help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us. And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet Ill stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden. 54. Why did those flowers the writer saw only bloom in the morning? A. Because it was hot in the afternoon. B. Because someone picked them away. C. Because someone took them into houses. D. Because the writer passed them in the morning.55. Which of the following statements is right according to the passage? A. The writers sister died of lung tumor. B. The writer was regretful when she heard her sisters death. C. The writer planned to dig the flowers to give them to her husband. D. The writers husband planned to plant some flowers in the garden. 56. The writer wrote the passage to tell us _. A. to enjoy what we have nowB. to value now and not to lose chancesC. to protect the beautiful flowers we seeD. to love those who are your close relativesThinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water. To be human is to think. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical(批判性的) thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes（过程）. Otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of others. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.The word “critical” here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one view against another view, as when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen-beyond the pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the faulty reasoning.Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are interested in life and want to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker. If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning（推理）are processes of deep and careful consideration. They take time, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in todays world: fast foods, instant coffee, and self-developing film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure（尺度）of intelligence（智慧）, you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein. Hoffman was too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately made Hoffman feel comfortable by saying, “Please go slowly. I dont understand things quickly.” 54Critical thinking is important to us because if we do not think critically, _.Ait will be hard for us to think naturally and fastBwe might be controlled by other peoples ideasCwe will follow the ideas of others naturallyDwe might be fooled by other peoples ideas55If you are a critical thinker, you will _.Atake one view against another viewBtrust the reports in the newspapersCthink deeply about different ideasDcriticize other people for their mistakes56. In the last paragraph, “something new” suggests that _.Aspeed can improve intelligenceBintelligence is not decided by speedCthe smarter you are, the faster you do thingsDthe faster you do things, the smarter you become We were on our tour a few summers ago, driving through Chicago, when right outside of the city, we got pulled over. A middle-aged policeman came up to the car and was really wanted to give us some trouble at first. Looking at us, he said, “You were speeding. Where are you going in such a hurry?” Our guitarist（吉他手）, Tim, told him that we were on our way to Wisconsin to play a show. Then his way towards us totally changed. He asked, “Oh, so you boys are in a music group?” We told him that we were. He then asked all the usual band questions about the type of the music we played, and how long we had been at it. Suddenly, he stopped and said,” Tim, you want to get out of this ticket, dont you?” Tim said, “Yes.” So the officer asked him to step out of the car. The rest of us, inside of the car, didnt know what to think as we watched the policeman talk to Tim.Next thing we knew, the policeman was putting Tim in the back of the police car that he had parked in front of us. With that, he threw the car into reverse(倒车), stopping a few feet off our car. Now we suddenly felt nervous. We didnt know if we were all going to prison, or if the policeman was going to sell Tim on the black market or something. All of a sudden, the policemans voice came over his loudspeaker. He said, “ Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time ever, we have Tim here singing on Route 90.” Seconds later, Tim started screaming into the receiver. The policeman enjoyed the performance(演出), and set us on our way without a ticket.54. What does the underlined sentence “we got pulled over” mean? A. We pulled the car over. B. We pushed the car upside down. C. We were stopped. D. Our car broke down.55. The policeman became friendly to the boys when he knew they _. A. were going to join a group B. were young musicians C. were driving for fun D. were going to a concert56. The boy probably felt _ when they drive off. A. joyful B. upset C. nervous D. afraidNever go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, youll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isnt enough for shoppers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, dont buy anything just because its cheaper than usual! Second, never let “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of contents on the back. Third，compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands(品牌)and different sizes of the same brand.Another suggestion for shoppers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers dont spend much money on packing or advertising. However, they are still of high quality. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores arent very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands
