解析:

61.從短文的內(nèi)容可知,現(xiàn)在學(xué)生考上大學(xué)后有兩種選擇:一是直接上大學(xué);一是先上一年的“人生大學(xué)”。所以要選straight(直接地)。A表示“容易地”;B表示“簡單地,僅僅”;C表示“快的”。答案為D。 

62.現(xiàn)在越來越多的學(xué)生首先上“人生大學(xué)”。注意first和at first的區(qū)別:first的意思是“首先”;at first的意思是“在開始時”。last是最后;at last表示“最后,終于”。答案為B。 

63. join=take part in(參加),例如參加亞馬孫熱帶雨林的探險。participating常與介詞in連用,意思是“參與,參加”;attending的意思是“參加(會議)”;expecting的意思是“期望”。答案為B。 

64.broaden的意思是“使擴大”。參加工作的經(jīng)歷可以開闊一個人的視野(horizons)。spread的意思是“散布”;improve的意思是“改善”;raise的意思是“舉起”。答案為A。 

65.eventually的意思是“最后的”。先參加工作可以得到掙錢的機會,這對以后上大學(xué)會有幫助。hopefully的意思是“有希望地”;willingly的意思是“心甘情愿地”;happily的意思是“高興地”。答案為C。 

66. hold your place的意思是“為你留著位置”。如果你對休學(xué)一年去參加社會實踐活動有興趣,你必須確保學(xué)校為你留著位置。leave your place的意思是“離開你的位置”;occupy your place的意思是“占據(jù)你的位置”;remain的意思是“剩余”。答案為A。 

67.C表“因為”,這是一個原因狀語從句。大多數(shù)大學(xué)愿意讓學(xué)生休學(xué)一年從事社會活動,因為他們發(fā)現(xiàn)這樣的學(xué)生比較有經(jīng)驗、有信心和有獨立性。而however表轉(zhuǎn)折;though表“雖然”,when表時間。答案為C。

68.因為是休學(xué)一年的學(xué)生與直接上大學(xué)的學(xué)生進行比較,所以要用形容詞的比較級。注意這四個詞的用法:less和more放在多音節(jié)形容詞的前面構(gòu)成比較級;much和even后接形容詞的比較級,可排除。再結(jié)合語意可知答案為D。

69.a year off的意思是“脫離大學(xué)一年”!癷n”表示在里面,與文章意思不符!皌hrough”表示“從空間”。答案為B。

70.do nothing表示“無事可作”,如果一個學(xué)生休學(xué)一年的目的是什么事也不做,大學(xué)是不會滿意的。其它三個不定代詞與文章意思不符。答案為A。

We have saved as a final set of emotions the two most important emotions pertaining to other people: love and its opposite, hate. Love can be seen everywhere. Yet surprisingly, love has been the subject of less scientific research than other emotions, such as anger and fear. The reason for this may be twofold. First, love is a very complex emotion, difficult to describe and measure. Secondly, unlike many extreme emotions, extreme love is generally not a problem; thus less medical attention has been paid to it.

What is love? This is a complex question and requires a complex answer. Love is an enduring, strong, positive attraction and feeling for another person or thing. But it is more than this. It also involves feelings of caring, protection, excitement, and tenderness. When two people are in love, they feel drawn to one another; they greatly enjoy each other's company; and they may be sexually attracted to one another.

Sometimes it is easier to think in term of different kinds of love: “puppy” love, romantic love, brotherly love, and so forth. Though they differ in some respects, they share one important characteristic: a strong positive feeling toward another.

Our feeling toward other people are often complex. We may love someone and, at the same time, be angry with him. Or we may love someone, even though we are jealous of him. We might even love someone and, at the same time, hate him for some specific reason. Hate is a strong negative emotion toward someone, and is due to anger, jealousy, or some other factor. Like love, hate can be a very strong emotion. It can also be very dangerous. The question is often asked, “Is it bad to hate?” The best answer is probably “sometimes yes and sometimes no.” Usually hate does not help us; it makes us feel unhappy and makes us do things that may hurt others. However, sometimes it may be necessary to hate and hurt someone in order to protect loved ones.

    2. According to the passage, the emotion of love has been medically paid less attention to because——.

       A. it is too common to be talked about

       B. compared with other kinds of emotions, love is not so important

       C. the study of love needs great effort and advanced scientific research

       D. love is harmless and too complex for description

  You're rushing to get out of the door for a meeting, but you just can't seem to find your car keys. Or you've got tickets booked for a Caribbean cruise(坐船旅行) , but your passport disappeared. Or maybe you've just come back from a grocery store tour and realized…Hey, did I leave my baby in the checkout line?

     Ok, you've probably never gone to the extremes of our last example (we hope), but most of us experience slip - ups like these on a daily basis. No matter how smart you may be, it doesn't mean your brain won't turn to Swiss cheese every so often, and no amount of e-mail reminders can help you remember where you left your TV remote or lucky penny.

     But now, there is a new pair of eyeglasses that can help to find all those little things you know must be around somewhere :  Let's call it Vision 2.0.

     The new glasses, which are being developed in a Japanese lab under the code name Smart Goggles,are similar to a Google search engine for your eyes. The high - tech glasses come with a camera that records everything you see on a daily basis, and boast built - in object recognition software that allows them to keep track of whatever comes across their field of vision. If you've got a collection of art sculptures that the camera can't recognize immediately, no problem :  Just say the name of each item,  and the glasses will memorize them right away.

     The Smart Goggles' superb tracking abilities mean that whenever you're looking for your keys, your overdue library book, or yes, even your baby, all you have to do is to say the word and the Goggles' camera will show you the last time your desired object appeared on screen, telling exactly where you'll be able to find it.

     Though the glasses are still too big for general use, the research team in Japan believes that they'll be able to make the modem glasses smaller to the size of normal glasses in the near future, making them the perfect new accessory for yourself or any other absent - minded Professor you know.

      With these intelligent designs, you'll never lose anything again. Except maybe your glasses.

1.The best title for the passage should be _______.

A. A Habit of Forgetting Small Things  

B. Usage of New High - Tech Glasses

C. How to Find Little Things Easily

D. Glasses Will Help Find Your Things

2.Which of the following is a slip - up according to the passage?

A. You can't find your watch before going to work.

B. You can't work out a math problem in given time.

C. You don't know how to deal with a naughty boy.

D. You don't know how to get to a hospital.

3.Which of the following statement is true about Smart Goggles?

A. They're a search engine used on the Internet.

B. They're a camera with recognition software.

C. They're software used in computers.

科目:高中英語 來源:2012屆甘肅省天水市高三級第五次檢測考試英語試題 題型:閱讀理解

 Some time ago ,I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended ,as there are a whole lot of antique shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my chair.

The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth - so I decided that my approach must be wrong.

I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper,“ Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said,“ Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,”I said. “OK, ”he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds. ”“It ‘s got a slightly broken leg,”I said. “Yes, I saw that, it's nothing.”

Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?”I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done. ”“I'll buy it,”I said. “What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me,”he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I'm sorry, I'll give you twenty -seven pounds for it. ”“ Your must be crazy, ”he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair. ”“ You’re right, ”I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said,Would you mend this chair for me?I wouldn't have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?”He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.

1.We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer ________.

A. was rather impolite                    B. was warmly received

2.The expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper ________.

4.From the text, we can learn that the writer was ________

 A. honest    B. careful     C.  funny   D. smart
