We are always on, always connected, always thinking, always talking. There is no 36 for stillness. And when we are 37 to be still because we’re in line for something, or waiting at a doctor’s appointment, or on a bus or train, we often 38 something to do. Some will play with mobile devices, others will read something. Being still isn’t something we’re 39 . This comes at a 40 : we lose that time for 41 , for observing and listening. We lose peace. And 42 still: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around crazily, but get 43 done. Take a moment to think about 44 you spend your days. Are you constantly rushing around? Are you constantly reading and answering 45 or checking on the news and the latest stream of information? Are you always 46 through your schedule? Is this how you want to spend your 47 ? If so, peace be with you. If not, take a moment to be 48 . Don’t think about what you have to do, or what you’ve done already. 49 be in the moment. Then after a minute or two of doing that, consider your life, and how you’d 50 it to be. See your life with less movement, less doing, less rushing. See it with more stillness, more consideration, more 51 . Then be that vision. It’s pretty simple: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day. 52 you’ve gotten used to that, try doing less each day. Breathe when you feel yourself moving too 53 . Slow down. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of 54 for it. 55 the stillness. It’s a treasure, and it’s available to us, always. 36. A. place B. chance C. freedom D. time37. A. forced B. ordered C. invited D. told38. A. have B. find C. buy D. get39. A. familiar with B. interested in C. curious about D. used to 40. A. cost B. risk C. loss D. danger41. A. play B. food C. consideration D. sleep 42. A. further B. worse C. farther D. deeper43. A. everything B. anything C. nothing D. something44. A. how B. where C. why D. whether45.

No, I didn't set a foot on your house, but from the condition of your dog, I can imagine what it looks like... The word" rubbish" comes to mind.I found her along a road, with a heavy chain wrapped around her neck, still attached to rotten boards from her doghouse. Not only did I know that most of the town people had already ignored her, judging by the place where I found her, but I knew that if she had gotten into the woods, the "cross" that she dragged behind her would have wrapped itself around a tree until starvation or thirst killed her.She has a beautiful name now. Already in the first week she has come to look more like she should. Her eyes sparkle and she has learned to wag her tail in greeting. She has stopped flinching( 畏缩 )when I make a sudden movement, because she knows now that I won' t beat her. In fact, she rarely leaves my side. She's even become brave enough to bark at a cat and today I looked out of the window as she attempted to play with other dogs. No, it’s clear that she does not miss you or her former life on a chain.It' s not clear yet whether she'll remain here or whether I'll find her a loving home where she can count on more individual attention than I can give her, but one thing is certain, this is a bit of stolen" property" which is never returning to you. So sue me, accuse me, plead with the court that she is rightfully yours... I' m convinced that this is the best" crime" I've ever committed. Hardly anything has pleased me more than the day when I stole your dog. I need only look into her beautiful brown eyes to know that she'd defend my decision with her life. If we have one prayer, it is that you will not replace her, and if we have one special day to celebrate together, it is the day I stole your dog and the day she stole my heart.56. What's the author's attitude towards the former owner of the dog? A. Puzzled. B. Angry. C. Shocked. D. Satisfied.57. It can be inferred from the passage that____________.A. the dog is not lovely B. the dog tried to find a kind master C. the dog was treated badly by its former master D. the author will be charged with stealing the dog58. All the following statements showed us the dog’s recovery from her nature except______. A. not missing her former master B. barking at a cat C. playing with other dogs D. waving her tail to make greetings59. What did the author think of his theft? A. He was afraid of being punished. B. He thought he had to do it. C. He believed that the law would allow him to do so. D. He did it with pride.BWhen an ant dies, other ants take it out of the nest, often within an hour after its death. This behavior interests scientists and they wonder how ants know for sure—and so soon—that another ant is dead.One scientist recently came up with a way to explain this ant behavior. Dong-Hwan Choe is a biologist, a scientist who studies animals and plants. He found that ants have a chemical on the outside of their bodies that signals to other ants, “I'm dead—take me away” when it is dead.But there's a question to answer: As we know, if an ant is dead, it stops moving. But when an ant is sleeping or knocked unconscious, it is also not moving. However, other ants don't move the living ant out of the nest. How do they know this ant is not dead? Choe found that ants have another chemical on their bodies, which tells nearby ants something like, “Wait—I'm not dead yet” when it is not dead. Choe suspects that when an ant dies, the chemical that says, “Wait I'm not dead yet” quickly goes away. When other ants detect the “dead” chemical without the “not dead yet” chemical, they move away the body.To test his theory , Choe and his team put different chemicals on ants. When the scientists used the “I'm dead” chemical, other ants quickly moved the treated ant away. When the scientists used the “Wait—I'm not dead yet” chemical, other ants left the treated ant alone. Choe believes this behavior shows that the “not dead yet” chemical overrides the “dead” chemical when picked up by other ants. And that when an ant dies, the “not dead yet” chemical fades away. Other nearby ants then detect the remaining “dead” chemical and remove the body from the nest.Understanding this behavior can help scientists figure out how to stop ants from invading new places and causing problems.60. What is the function of the first paragraph?A. Leading the following paragraphs. B. Showing the main idea of the passage.C. Introducing the background of the passage. D. Giving a summary of the passage.61. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “overrides” in the fourth paragraph?A. is weaker than B. is stronger than C. is better than D. is worse than 62. What can we learn from the passage?A. Living ants can also be taken away when they are not moving.B. When an ant dies, it can tell others using a certain chemical.C. A living ant can pretend to be dead using a special chemical.D. Ants often use chemicals to communicate with each other.63. Which of the following descriptions about Dong-Hwan Choe is right?A. Choe did this study in order to stop ants from invading new places.B. Choe is a biologist who is only interested in animals, especially in ants.C. Choe first came up with an idea to explain this ant behavior，and then did some tests to prove his theory.D. Choe did the research on this ant behavior on his ownCIt is an issue I have realized ever since I heard about an Austrian banker who said,“I always find it easier to do business with partners from Greece or Russia or Denmark. But when the lrish call, it gets complex and difficult.” As I wrote recently, those speaking English as a second language frequently say they find it easier to talk to each other than to someone from the US, the UK ,Canada ,Ireland or Australia.Anyone wanting to get to the top of international business, medicine or academia(but possibly not sport)needs to be able to speak English to a pretty high level .Equally, any native English speaker wanting to deal with these new high achievers needs to know how to talk without confusing them.Because so many English-speakers today are monoglots（只懂一种语言的人），they have little idea how difficult it is to master another language. Many think the best way to make foreigners understand is to be chatty（健谈的）and informal. This may seem friendly but，as it probably involves using informal expressions, it makes comprehension harder.Speaking slowly helps, but avoiding figurative（比喻的）or idiomatic expressions is more important. Phrasal verbs are another trouble for non-native English speakers; imagine trying to understand the difference between“ I couldn’t put up with him”and “ I agreed to put him up”.It’s better to say “I couldn’t tolerate him”and “ I agreed to let him stay for night ”. The words may be longer but the meaning is easier to understand.The greatest friend to anyone trying to understand another language is repetition; not saying the same thing over and over again，but saying it in different ways. 64. English speakers from non-English-speaking countries think that ________.A. non-native speakers speak English even betterB. the author’s English is hard to understandC. native speakers’ English is hard to understandD. it is easier to deal with Greeks and Russians65. As to speaking English , the author implies that ________. A. there’s no need for athletes to speak so well B. a successful person must speak advanced English well C. advanced English shouldn’t be spoken in sports D. a successful person must speak simple English to others66. According to the author, the best way for native English speakers is ________ A. to speak as slowly as possible B. to use as few words as possible C. to speak loudly so as to make it clear D. to make it clear even with more words67. Which of the expressions is the best and friendly? A. They say you’re a great player. However, I don’t think so, to be honest. B. You’re a great player. You play the best. You’re a great player indeed C. You’re a great player. They love you here. Your Performance is so good.D. You’re a great player. I mean you play the best. You’re really a great player.D Adult Basic Education (ABE) and GED PreparationTask:The Adult Basic Education Department serves a huge population of learners. Our task is to teach basic skills and help learners to get more knowledge to function effectively as a family member, citizen, worker, and lifelong learner in a changing world.Description:ABE is a non-credit program of self-improvement designed to improve basic skills for students who are of different educational level. Development of reading, writing, and math skills are paid special attention to, as well as life skills, employ ability, and technology. Students without a high school diploma(文凭)also have the opportunity to prepare for the GED exams in the five subject areas writing, social studies, science, literature, and math. Prerequisites (条件):ABE classes are open to anyone 18 or over who desires to improve basic reading, writing, and math skills at the pre-college level. Students who are 16 or 17 must first obtain an official release( 证书) from high school before attending class.To be accepted, students must attend an Educational Planning Session. During the Educational Planning Session students will be given an overview of the ABE programs as well as PCC policies, fees, etc. Students will also have their reading, writing, and math abilities assessed (评估) during the Educational Planning Session The results of their assessment will help the teachers develop individual programs of study for students to guide them toward their personal goals. Students needing special help must get in touch with the Office for Students with Disabilities (503-977-4341) at least two weeks before the session is held.Courses:

A. provide learners with basic knowledge and skills to fit in with society B. help learners successfully get a job in a changing world C. offer diplomas to those who fail to finish secondary education D. provide students with opportunities to prepare for the GED exams69.

What is the Educational Planning Session intended for? A. Providing special help to disabled students. B. Helping students be better at the four basic skills. C.

A. their own choices B. the assessments during the Educational Planning Session C. their performances in school D. how much they pay for the coursesENuclear energy has always been controversial. But since the tsunami and nuclear disaster in Fukushima (Japan) last year the issue is back in the headlines. And the world is divided— some countries are planning more nuclear plants, while others have promised to shut theirs down.After Fukushima, Germany decided to switch off all its nuclear plants by 2022. Switzerland and Italy are also phasing out nuclear power. But France and the United States remain staunch supporters of atomic energy. In fact, almost 80% of France’s electricity comes from nuclear power, the highest percentage in the world. And in the US, the Obama administration said it “continues to support the expansion of nuclear power, despite the crisis in Japan.” Nuclear supporters claim nuclear power can help the environment. Unlike fossil fuels, nuclear power doesn’t create greenhouse gases. So, pro-nuclear countries argue that nuclear power allows them to generate energy without contributing to climate change. Britain’s chief scientific adviser (John Beddington) supports this view. He recently said that the world doesn’t have the luxury of ignoring nuclear energy.Nuclear power is also relatively cheap. Renewable energy sources such as solar, hydro and wind power may be clean, but they’re expensive; and right now, they require a lot of investment. This higher cost of using “green energy” is usually passed onto the consumer. So, while many people may prefer their energy to come from a renewable source, not so many are prepared to pay higher energy bills. This is of particular concern while the world economy is in such bad shape.The main argument against nuclear energy is that it isn’t safe. For a start, nuclear waste is very difficult to dispose of, and remains toxic to humans for thousands of years. And even before Fukushima, there were several high-profile nuclear disasters. The most famous is probably the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, in the Ukraine. The radiation from the meltdown spread all over Europe, affecting thousands.The nuclear energy issue is very complex. And it doesn’t look like it’ll be resolved anytime soon. As a Japanese commentator recently said, “it’s been a bad year for the ‘nuclear village’, but I don’t think they’re down and out yet.” The battle continues. 72. What does the underlined word “this ” refer to in paragraph 4? A. The fact that many people prefer to use the green energy sources while unwilling to pay higher bill..B. The cost of using renewable sources.C. The fact that the nuclear power is cheaper.D. The investment of renewable energy sources.73.In the 5th paragraph, the author takes the case of Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine to _______.A. convince the reader that nuclear waste is difficult to get rid of.B. explain that nuclear waste may remain harmful to humans for thousands of years.C. persuade the world not to use nuclear energy.D. support the idea that nuclear energy is not safe.74.We can learn from the last paragraph that _______. A. the Japanese commentator is positive about the future of nuclear energy. B. the nuclear energy issue will be soon settled. C. a battle will break out in the future. D. Japan is considering to build a nuclear village in the future.75.What is the author's purpose of writing the passage? A. To highlight the danger of using nuclear energy. B. To introduce some serious nuclear disasters. C. To show the argument between nuclear supporters and protesters. D. To give some advice on how to use nuclear energy safely. 2012～2013学年上学期第三次月考 高三英语答题卷 （考试时间：120分钟 总分：150分） 第Ⅰ卷（满分115分）第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分）题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10答案 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20答案 第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 单项填空（共l5小题；每小题1分，满分l5分）题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30答案 题号 31 32 33 34 35 答案 第二节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)题号 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45答案 题号 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55答案 第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题：每小题2分，满分40分)题号 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65答案 题号 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75答案

They are so tired that all of them are in a sweat. Xiao Hua is wondering why.In our daily life, we can see many parents act like Xiao Hua’s. They have only one child, so they spare no effort to help their only children. They think they can help their only children to achieve what they expect in this way.In my opinion it is wrong for parents to do so because children should learn to do things on their own. If they have the habit of being helped, they will not become independent when they grow up. How can they succeed in life ? So it’s time for parents to reflect on what they have done.
