Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.   Oliver Twist, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens, is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in the 19th century. The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to 36  the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London. The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of  37 and crime. He suffered enormous pain, 38  hunger, thirst, beating and abuse. While reading the tragic experiences of little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings. I 39  the poor boy, but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill. To my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered  40   and Oliver lived a happy life in the end. One of the plots that attracted me  41  is that after the theft, little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs Maylie and Rose and  42   a new life. How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive pain 43  pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information 44  in the novel by Dickens --- he believed that goodness could conquer  45  difficulty. Goodness is to human what water is to fish. He who is without goodness is an utterly  46  person. On the contrary, as the famous saying goes, “ The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose.” He who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person. People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done, and thus he can do  47  to both the people he has helped and himself.   36. A. open            B. exploit         C. expose          D. cover 37. A. honor              B. poverty       C. glory          D. imagination 38. A. such like          B. for example           C. such as         D. for instance 39. A. looked down upon                   B. made an apology for    C. played a joke on                   D. felt sorry for 40. A. relationship     B. kindness        C. carelessness     D. devil 41. A. mainly                   B. most         C. mostly         D. best 42. A. began             B. launched        C. set              D. changed 43. A. bear                     B. remain          C. hold                 D. maintain 44. A. contained          B. implied          C. imported      D. added 45. A. every            B. some           C. little           D. much 46. A. gracious          B. worthless      C. modest         D. earnest 47. A. harm            B. damage       C. good            D. justice   SECTION C Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context.   He always rose early to enjoy at least two hours of staying alone in the house before the  48  of the family came down. In winter he spent most of the time reading. In summer he liked to get out of doors to work in the garden or to take the dog  49  a walk in the neighboring woods and fields. 50  the weather was like, there was plenty for him to do. He wrote book reviews regularly for two of the national weeklies. He worked hard 51  his special subject, Indian history, and was thus one of the world experts on it; he collected modern abstract paintings and so had a circle of friends among artists; there was hardly anything he did not know about traditional jazz and he often entertained  52  Britain and American jazz musicians. He was a good  53  and knew a lot about French and German food. His family admired him and in a sense he was spoiled by them. At first glance you would have  54  him for a retired army officer--- his hair was cut short, he was very particular about his clothes,  55  were always clean and neat . He hardly watched TV, but enjoyed a good film and an occasional evening at the theater. PART THREE   READING  COMPREHENSION      Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.   A Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships .One strength of the human condition is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful conditions .Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties .Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and daily hassles(困难). People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people fend off(挡开) illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.          Social support cushions stress in a number of ways .First, friends, relatives and co-workers may let us know that they value us .Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support .They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting (转移注意力)us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support—money aid ,material resources, and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems. 56. Interpersonal relationships are important because _______. A. they are indispensable(不可缺少的)to people’s social well-being       B. they awaken people’s desire to exchange resources C. they help people to cope with life in the information era D. they can cure a range of illnesses such as heart disease, etc 57. Research shows that people's physical and mental health _______. A. relies on the social medical care systems which support them B. has much to do with the amount of support they get from others C. depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troubles D. is closely related to their strength for coping with major changes in their lives 58. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “cushions”? (Line 1, Para 2)        A. adds up to                               B. does away with        C. lessens the effect of                        D. lays the foundation for 59. Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work is an example of _______.        A. instrumental support                       B. informational support        C. social companionship                      D. the strengthening of self-respect 60. Social companionship is beneficial in that__________. A. it helps strengthen our ties with relatives B. it enables us to eliminate our faults and mistakes C. it makes our leisure-time activities more enjoyable D. it draws our attention away from our worries and troubles   (B) Remember how great exercise was when you were a little kid? Back then, racing around the playground or skipping rope for hours, you weren’t thinking fitness, you were thinking entertainment. But in this age of high-tech home equipment and underused gym memberships, the simple joy of jumping rope has been forgotten, Rediscovering it will give you a total-body exercise you can find.     Although considered an excellent form of exercise, jumping rope has never gained widespread acceptance because of two fundamental reasons. First, most people recognize jumping rope as an excellent form of cardiovascular(心血管的)exercise, but they also believe that it is simply too difficult. In other words, they don’t think they’ll be able to continue jumping for the near 20 minutes that it takes to achieve a beneficial physical outcome. Second, many view it as somewhat boring and overly repetitive not as something fun or enjoyable.      As a matter of fact, jumping rope can be great fun if you find a proper way to practice it. Instead of doing the usual two-foot bounce over and over again, people good at rope-jumping often change their pattern every 10 or 20 jumps. A single bounce, a double-bounce, a skip, a knee-up, side swings, as well as a variety of other easy-to-learn free-style rope-jumping.      Now researchers are learning that jumping rope also prepares the brain for learning. It is an exercise allowing both brain hemispheres to perform in parallel to each other. In short, jumping rope can be a life-long activity requiring little equipment, time and space, yet leading to a much healthier life. 61. From the first paragraph we learn that A. jumping rope has faded from people’s memories B. people now have more advanced equipment C. racing around the playground was preferred D. people now like to have exercise in a gym 62.Rope jumping has not spread widely because_________. A. it benefits the cardiovascular system B. it is neither easy nor enjoyable C. it is considered boring and repetitive D. it requires little equipment, time and space 63.The first sentence in the 3rd paragraph implies_________. A. there is only one proper way to follow B. the usual way should not be used C. the easiest way is always the best D. there are many ways to follow 64.According to the researchers, jumping rope_________. A. only prepares the brain for learning B. is suitable for students only C. helps both brain hemispheres work together D. can be dangerous for old people 65.What is the author’s attitude towards rope jumping? A. He is arguing against it B. He is in favor of it C. He is sitting on the fence of it D. He is not clear about it   (C)   In the atmosphere, carbon dioxide acts rather like a one-way mirror or the glass in the roof of a greenhouse which allows the sun's rays to enter but prevents the heat from escaping.　　 According to a weather expert' s prediction, the atmosphere will be 3℃ warmer in the year 2050 than it is today, if man continues to burn fuels at the present rate. If this warming up took place, the ice caps in the poles would begin to melt, thus raising sea level several metres and severely flooding coastal cities. Also, the increase in atmospheric temperature would lead to great changes in the climate of the northern hemisphere (北半球), possibly resulting in an alteration of the earth's chief food growing zones.　　  In the past, concern about a man-made warming of the earth has concentrated on the Arctic because the Antarctic is much colder and has a much thicker ice sheet. But the weather experts are now paying more attention to West Antarctic, which may be affected by only a few degrees of warming, in other words, by a warming on the scale that will possibly take place in the next fifty years from the burning of fuels.　　  Satellite pictures show that large areas of Antarctic ice are already disappearing. The evidence available suggests that a warming has taken place. This fits the theory that carbon dioxide warms the earth.　　  However, most of the fuel is burnt in the northern hemisphere, where temperatures seem to be falling. Scientists conclude , therefore, that up to now natural influences on the weather have gone beyond those caused by man. The question is: Which natural cause has most effect on the weather?　　  One possibility is the variable behavior of the sun. Astronomers at one research station have studied the hot spots and "cold" spots (that is, the relatively less hot spots) on the sun. As the sun rotates (使旋转), every 27. 5 days, it presents hotter or "colder" faces to the earth, and different aspects to different parts of the earth. This seems to have a considerable effect on the distribution of the earth's atmospheric pressure, and consequently on wind circulation. The sun is also changeable over a long term: its heat output goes up and down in cycles, the latest trend being downward.　　  Scientists are now finding shared relations between models of solar weather interactions and the actual climate over many thousands of years, including the last Ice Age. The problem is that the models are predicting that the world should be entering a new Ice Age and it is not. One way of solving this theoretical difficulty is to assume a delay of thousands of years while the solar effects overcome the inertia (惯性) of the earth's climate. If this is right, the warming effect of carbon dioxide might thus be serving as a useful opposed balance to the sun's fading heat .66. It can be concluded that a concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would_________.   A. mean a warming-up in the Antarctic   B. raise the temperature of the earth' s surface C. prevent the sun's rays from reaching the earth's surfaceD. explain the cause of  great changes in the climate in the northern hemisphere 67.The article was written to explain A. the greenhouse effectB. the solar effects on the earthC. the causes affecting weatherD. the models of solar-weather interactions 68. Although the fuel consumption is greater in the northern hemisphere, temperatures there　seem to be falling. This is__________.  A. mainly because the levels of carbon dioxide are rising B. partly due to changes in the output of solar energy C. possibly because the ice caps in the poles are meltingD. only due to the effect of the inertia of the earth' s climate 69. On the basis of their models, scientists believe the opinion that__________.A. the climate of the world should be becoming coolerB. the new Ice Age will be delayed by the greenhouse effect C. the man-made warming effect helps to increase the solar effectsD. it will take thousands of years for the inertia of the earth's climate to take effect 70. If the assumption about the delay of a new Ice age is correct, ____________. A. ice would soon cover the northern hemisphere B. the greenhouse effect could work in favor of the earth C. the best way to overcome the cooling effect would be to burn more fuels D. the increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere could warm up the earth even more quickly             PART FOUR     WRITING SECTION  A   Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.   Like fine food, good writing is something we approach with pleasure and enjoy from the first taste to the last. And good writers，good cooks，do not suddenly appear full-blown. Quite the contrary, just as the cook has to undergo an intensive and hard-working training, mastering the skills of his trade, the writer must sit at his desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purpose－schoolwork, matters of business,or purely social communication. You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort，the more effective the writing and the more rewarding.     There are still some remote places in the world where you might find a public scribe(抄写员) to do his / her business or social writing for a fee. There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have the service of that rare kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than a quick note . But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves. We have to write school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to put words to paper. It would be difficult to count the number of such words，messages，letters，and reports put into the mails or delivered by hand，but the daily figure must be enormous. What is more，everyone who writes expects，or at least hopes, that his writing will be read.  We want to arouse and hold the interest of the readers. We want whatever we write to be read， from first word to last, not just thrown into some "letters－to－be－read" file （档案）or into a wastepaper basket. This is the reason we make our efforts toward learning and practicing the skills of interesting, effective writing. 71. What is good writing compared to in this passage and why? ( No more than 10 words.) _________________________________________________________. 72. Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word “painstaking”. _________________________________________________________. 73. According to the passage, why don’t some managers have to do any letter writing? ( No more than 15 words.) __________________________________________________________. 74. According to the author, if your letter is thrown into some “ letter-to-be-read” file, what will be likely to happen?   (No more than 6 words.) __________________________________________________________. 75. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?  (No more than 15 words.) _________________________________________________________. SECTION B    Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage.    Write ONE WORD for each answer.   A technical secondary school in Nanjing, east China’s Jiangsu province, planned to order Korean-style school uniforms for students, but parents opposed the move, believing that the new uniforms looked too good and would encourage early romances among the students, the Jinling Evening Paper reported Monday. Parents      “My daughter was so excited about the Korean-style uniform, saying it’s her dream to wear mini-skirt to school every day,” a mom surnamed Cheng complained. “My daughter also called her classmates to talk about how handsome the boys looked in the uniform!” Cheng looked on the Internet and found that most Korean schoolboy uniforms are similar to western suits. “They are so handsome! My daughter is a fan of Korean fashion, that’s why she is crazy about the uniform!” Cheng said. “If the students wear such beautiful uniforms, how can they study well? I prefer the sports wear which makes me think of health and positive thinking.” School “The plan to change the current school uniform from sports wear has been cancelled,” an employee of the school told the Jinling Evening Paper.      “The students dislike the current uniform, so the school took advice from the students last November, knowing that most of students prefer Korean-or Japanese-style school uniforms. We know cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou have changed their sports wear school uniforms to more fashionable uniforms,” an employee surnamed Lin said.      “However, we had to stop the plan because many parents are strongly against it. Some parents think it’s just a way for the school to make money, and others think the new uniforms will take students’ attention away from their studies,” Lin said.      When asked about the possibility of problems with early romance between students because of the more fashionable uniforms, Lin said he hadn’t considered it. He, however, agreed that the Korean-style uniform makes the students more charming. Students The students are very disappointed about the school’s final decision. They think the sports wear uniforms make them look androgynous (难分性别).      They said the Korean-style uniform has many advantages such as raising interest in class; lifting confidence; improving solidarity and creating good temperaments.      As for concerns about romance, the students believe that love is love and bears no relationship to the uniform. Education department “We don’t have a unified (统一的) standard for school uniforms. The schools can choose their own styles. Either sports wear or uniforms are ok,” an official from the Nanjing Bureau of Education said.       Title Do pretty school uniforms lead to early romance? Event A technical secondary school planned to order Korean-style school uniforms for students.   Parents are strongly (77)______ the move. ◆With such beautiful designs, the new uniforms might (78)__________ early romances between boys and girls. ◆In the new uniforms, students will fail to focus their (79)_________ on their studies. ◆It is just a way for the school to make money.

From the education department There is no unified standard for school uniforms, so the schools can choose their own styles. Result   The school had to (84)________ the plan and the students felt (85)_________.    SECTION C Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese.   写作要求 ( 文章不少于120个字。)   请你谈谈轿车大量进入家庭后，对家庭、环境和经济可能产生的影响。           湖南省2010届高三第四次月考   考场号 座位号              英语答卷     第一部分：第二节 听取信息 （共5小题，每小题 1.5分，满分7.5） 16. ____________________________                17. _______________________________ 18. ____________________________                19. _______________________________ 20. ____________________________ 第二部分：第二节  完型填空：Part B（共8小题；每小题1.5分，满分12分） 48. ____________________________                49. _______________________________ 50. ____________________________                51 . _______________________________ 52. ____________________________                53. _______________________________ 54. ____________________________                55. _______________________________ 第四部分：第一节  简答题（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 71. ______________________________________________________________________. 72. ______________________________________________________________________. 73. ______________________________________________________________________. 74. ______________________________________________________________________. 75. ______________________________________________________________________. 第四部分：第二节  填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 76. ____________________________           77. ________________________________ 78. ____________________________           79. ________________________________ 80. ____________________________          81. ________________________________ 82. ____________________________          83. ________________________________ 84. ____________________________          85. ________________________________ 第四部分：第三节 写作（满分25分） ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________   湖南省衡阳市八中2010届高三第四次月考试卷 英语科答案解析 第一部分：听力(1.5分*20=30分) 1-5 BACAA               6-10 CAACB                  11-15 BACCA 16. regular university course         17. flexibility         18. older students 19. professor / teacher                  20. 64 GB memory   第二部分：英语知识运用( 共两节, 满分45分) 第一节：单项选择 ( 1分*15=15分) 21---25 ABDCB       26---30 ACABB        31---35 BACBC 第二节：完型填空：(1.5分*20=30分) Part A: 36---40 CBCDD     41---45 BABBA   47---48 BC 这是一篇《雾都孤儿》读后感。作者分析了主人公的生活经历，最后得出结论：施舍于己于人便是施舍于己。正如谚语所说的“送人玫瑰，手有余香”。 重点词语链接： be thrown into…    被投入… be shocked by…    对…感到吃惊 to one’s relief      使某人欣慰的是 on the contrary     相反 be grateful to       感激 get gratified from    得到满足 36.

Owning a car definitely makes it easier to enjoy life. Having a car can have many good effects on our lives. It can help us to save time, it makes travel more convenient, and it gives us more independence. It is definitely convenient to own a car. Car manufacturing also helps promote economic development. It creates many jobs, which helps people to earn a living. Unfortunately, cars also have some bad effects. More cars mean more crowded streets and more traffic. More cars also create more air pollution. Cars are also one reason why more people are overweight. Instead of walking or riding a bike people are driving cars and getting less exercise.
