12.About two weeks earlier,I received a bundle of letters and drawings in the mail from a boy.The covering letters read:
"To the pancreatic(胰腺的)cancer team at Columbia Presbyterian
My name is Adam Abramowitz.I am a 5th grader at Seely Place Elementary School in Edgemont,NY.Over the past few years I have had many fundraisers to raise money to donate to pancreatic cancer research at your hospital.I hope to stop this disease.Today I am sending you letters that were written by my class and me.These were made to share with your patients to brighten their day."
The 13 cards included drawings of flowers,messages of hope and love,and jokes to brighten the patients'days.Normally,it is rare for someone in 5th grade to step outside him/herself and help those in need.I quickly learned,Adam is not your normal kid.
His story starts at the age of 6.His cousins had recently showed him how to weave potholders(防燙套墊).Adam's grandfather works in the field of pancreatic cancer and would often tell Adam how dangerous the disease was and how little was understood about pancreatic cancer compared to the other major cancers.Adam saw this hobby as an opportunity to make some money and donate it to pancreatic cancer research.After weaving several problems,he sold them door-to-door around his neighborhood,often times hitting the same houses multiple times.And then Adam started to consider what was popular with kids of his age.This led him to start selling bracelets(手鐲),using the weaving techniques he used for the potholders.He stood outside of his local train station,selling bracelets to people.Adam once set up a carnival-like game to attract potential donors.With the help pf his father,Adam built his own website,www.endpc.net,selling the potholders and bracelets to help the battle against pancreatic cancer.

46.How was Adam different from other boys?D
A.He always stepped outside his home.
B.He set up his own website with his father's help.
C.He weaved potholders like girls and sold them.
D.He did what most other children of his age didn't.

A.To show their appreciation for the doctors.
B.To raise some money for those in need.
C.To make the patients there happy.
D.To show people how to weave potholders.
48.What inspired Adam to help those suffering pancreatic cancer?D

C.The author's behavior.
D.His grandfather's words.
49.Adam took up some meaningful activities exceptC.
A.Weaving bracelets to sell      
B.Building his own website.

50.What could be the best title for the text?C

點評 人物故事類閱讀理解文章是高考英語?疾牧现唬@類文章一般可分為人物傳記和短篇故事兩類.這兩類閱讀材料一般較長,即詞數多,而且命題也較多,特別是推理判斷題和事實細節(jié)題多.在做此類閱讀理解題時往往是材料看得懂,題目不好做的感覺.因此,在閱讀材料時要重點放在事情發(fā)展的過程和結果上,注意把握事件的發(fā)展進程及人物之間的關系,細節(jié)與主題的關系,用以說明人物性格特點的事實、作者的態(tài)度等,這些內容往往是推理判斷題的命題點.至于事實細節(jié)題的解答,同學們切忌想當然或者憑印象,一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確選擇.

5.Considering Australia's size and the fact that early settlements were far apart,Australian society is remarkably homogeneous ( 同種的).Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous and the way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same however many miles divide them.It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents.
However,there is some difference in lifestyle between city settlers and the country people.Almost 90 percent of the population lives in the fastpaced cities along the coast and has little more_than_a_passing_familiarity_with_the_desert. The major cities preserve images of colonial heritage,but the overall impression is modern,with new buildings reflecting the country's youth.In contrast,the rural communities tend to be slowmoving and conservative.For many years,Australia was said to have"ridden on the sheep's back",a reference to wool being the country's main money earner.However,it is no longer dominant (主宰的).Much of Australia's relatively sound economy is now achieved from natural coal and wheat,and by being the largest diamond producer in the world.Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important.Australians are generally friendly and relaxed,with a modest sense of humor.
Yet,contrary to widespread belief,very few Australians have true prisoner origins.Within only one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788,Australia had become a nation of immigrants.Originally coming almost entirely from the British Isles,today one in three Australians comes from elsewhere.Australia's liberal postwar immigration policies led to a flowing of survivors from wartorn Europe,most notably Greeks,Italians,Poles and Germans.
The emphasis has shifted in recent years and today the majority of new immigrants are from Southeast Asia.Today Australia is a"mixture of nations"and although some racism exists,it has generally been a successful experiment and the country is reasonably proud to have one of the most harmonious multicultural commu nities in the world.
33.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?D
A.Most Australians have ancestors who were prisoners.
B.One third of people living in Australia come from Europe.
C.The Australian economy is dependent on sheep exports.
D.The pace of life in the city is different from that in the country.
34.What used to be Australia's main money earner?A
A.Wool       B.Wheat.C.Tourism     D.Diamond
35.We can infer from the passage thatD.
A.nothing about Australia's colonial part in modern cities can be seen by visitors
B.tourism and wine making resulted in fast development in rural communities only
C.immigrants from Europe have brought racial problems
D.Australia's recent immigration policy encourages immigrants from Southeast Asia.

2.There are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket,making you believe that they are worth a try.How?Packaging(包裝)is the silent but persuading salesman.
There on the shelves,each bottle,can,box,and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer(消費者),so that he is buying not only a product but also his belief in life.Scientists have studied consumer behaviour recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the"quality"of the product and on how well it sells,because"Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package.Many products are packages and many packages are products,"as Louis Cheskin,the first social scientist studying consumers'feeling for packaging,noticed.
Colors are one of the best tools in packaging.Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly.Take V8for example.For many years,the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body.And the word"green"today can keep food prices going up.
Shapes are another attraction.Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness,because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart.That's why the round yellow M sings of McDonald's are inviting to both young and old.
This new consumer response(反應) to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.

24.According to the passage,Aseems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product.
A.the pleasing color of the package
B.the special taste of the product
C.the strange shape of the package
D.the belief in the product
25.If a package or a product is round in shape,it canD.
A.bring excitement to the consumers
B.attract the consumers'attention
C.catch the eye movement of the consumers
D.produce a happy and peaceful feeling
26."And the word‘green'today can keep food prices going up."This sentence suggests that consumers today areD.
A.starting to notice the importance of new food
B.enjoying the beauty of nature more than before
C.beginning to like green vegetables
D.paying more attention to their health
27.It can be inferred from the passage that V8is a kind ofB.
A.vegetable dish          B.healthy juice
C.iced drink              D.red vegetable.

3.The news that Zhou Hao chose to drop out from Beijing University and transfer to a technical college raised a heated discussion among high school students.The following are some of the students'views.
Fan Xianjie:I support Zhou's choice.Zhou went to Beijing University because of the pressure from his parents and teachers,who ignored his interests.Now he has made his own choice to drop out and do what he really wants to do.His bravery deserves our respect and understanding.
Dan Jinyu:I do respect Zhou's decision.But If I were him,I would definitely have followed my heart at the very beginning,because dropping out and then learning something new wastes a lot of time.Zhou has now got what he wanted.But not everyone is as brave as him.So we should think twice and try our best to reach our goals when making decisions.
Luo Jiayin:Zhou's surprising choice is mostly because of his parents'ignorance toward his interests in the first place.Parents should give their kids more freedom to choose what their kids really want instead of what they think is right.
Luo Zhouhai:Zhou is brave to pursue his dream and has the right to choose a major that he is really interested in.Nowadays,there are still many people who value famous universities'diplomas more than a person's actual skills.As our society develops,this situation will change and more and more Zhou Haos will appear.
Zhao Chengyi:This incident should make all the universities in China reflect on themselves.Why did Zhou choose to transfer to a technical college?Apart from his own personal reasons,Beijing University's lack of options in its subjects also contributed to the drop-out.To prevent such things from happening in future,universities should pay more attention to students'voices.
Tao Ruyi:I think Zhou Hao might not have made a sensible decision.He must have made great efforts to get admitted to Beijing University.It was a pity that he dropped out.
49.How many students totally supported Zhou's dropping out?A
A.Two.
B.Four          
C.Five       
D.Six
50.What can we infer from Zhao Chengyi's words?C
A.It was Zhou Hao's parents that were to blame for the incident.
B.It was wrong for Zhou Hao to drop out from Beijing University.
C.Universities should think of more options in their subjects for their students.
D.Beijing University should try to bring out students'potential to learn more.
51.The author's attitude towards Zhou's incident isD.
A.supportive 
B.negative      
C.critical      
D.unmentioned
52.What do you think is the best title for this passage?B
A.Kids'interests should be greatly valued
B.Different opinions about Zhou's incident
C.Zhou's incident shocked the college students
D.Zhou's bravery deserves respect and understanding.
