In the world of digital technology, e-mail, social networking and online video games, information is meant to be 36 . Solitude can be hard to discover 37 it has been given up. In this respect, new technologies have 38 our culture. The desire to be connected has brought solitude to a(n) 39 as we’ve known it.

Today we can talk, text, e-mail, chat and blog(写博客), not only from our 42 , but from our mobile phones as well.Most developed nations have become 43 on digital technology simply because they’ve grown accustomed to it, and at this point not 44 it would make them an outsider. 45 , many jobs and careers require people to be 46 . From this point of view, technology has changed the culture of work. Being reachable might feel like a 47 to those who may not want to be able to be contacted at all times. I suppose the positive side is that solitude is still possible for anyone who 48 wants it. Computers can be shut 49 and mobile phones can be turned off. The ability to be “connected” and “on” has many 50 , as well as disadvantages. Travelers have ended up 51 on mountains, and mobile phones have saved countless lives.

She came to this country with her family on a tiny ship during World War I when she was only 8 years old. During the trip she survived stormy seas，little food, and an attack by a German U-boat. After getting here，her large family worked hard to build a new life in America. They never had much money but were rich in love.One day，when I was about 5 or 6 years old, my parents and brothers went on a trip. It was just me and Nanny in the house for the weekend. Nanny seemed so happy to be taking care of me all by her. She made me a special breakfast that first morning. However, all I could do was to complain about how the food was not how Mom always made it. Nanny quietly put down the plate and went into the living room. I followed a minute later and saw that she had tears in her eyes. It was the first time I had ever seen my strong and proud grandmother cry and I was the one who had caused it. I walked over to Nanny, climbed on her lap, and for the first time in my short life I did something else too. I apologized without being told to and asked Nanny to forgive me. She smiled, rubbed my head, and told me I was a good boy even though I didn’t feel like one then.That memory just like my Nanny’s love will stay in my heart forever. It is a sign of both strength and wisdom. Asking for forgiveness helps us to learn, to grow, and to love.56. Nanny’s family moved to America mainly because .A. they suffered hunger in their homelandB. they wanted to start a rich life in the new landC. they tried to get away from the terrible climateD. their country was in war and they needed peace57. The boy complained to Nanny that the food .A. wasn’t cooked the way his mom did B. was served a bit later than usualC. was prepared in a special way D. was just to his parents’ taste58. When seeing Nanny crying in the living room, the author felt .A. surprised B. ashamed C. shocked D. annoyed59. The author mainly wants to tell us that . A. hardships can make children more independentB. forgiveness can be beneficial to people asking for itC. grandparents tolerate more than their grandchildrenD. family ties can sometimes be misusedB When Suzanne Kail, an English teacher at a public high school in Magnolia, Ohio, was told that she would be required to teach her students Latin and Greek word roots, she rolled her eyes. Kail believed in a progressive approach to education, in which active participation in meaningful learning was the most important. In an account of her experience in the English Journal, she wrote, “asking students to do rote memorization (机械记忆) was the opposite of what I believed in most.” Still, her department head insisted on it. She was sure her students wouldn’t like it, either.Kail was surprised — as was anyone who took a look at the recent studies supporting the effectiveness of “old school” methods like memorizing math facts, reading aloud, practicing handwriting and so on. While the education world is all excited about so-called 21st-century skills like cooperation, problem solving and critical thinking, this research suggests that we might do well to add a strong dose (一剂) of the 19th century to our children’s schooling.As soon as Kail began teaching her students the Greek and Latin origins of many English terms — that the root “sta” means “put in place or stand”, for example, and that “cess” means “to move or withdraw”— they eagerly began recognizing familiar words including the roots, like “statue” and “recess”. Kail’s students started using these terms in their writing, and many of them told her that their study of word roots helped them answer questions on the SAT and on Ohio’s state graduation exam. For her part, Kail reported that she no longer saw rote memorization as “evil”. That’s also true of another old-fashioned method drilling math facts, like the multiplication table (乘法表). Although many progressive educators speak ill of what they call “drill and kill” (kill students’ love for learning, that is), rapid mental retrieval (检索) of basic facts is required for doing more complex and more interesting kinds of math. The only way to achieve this, so far as anyone has been able to determine, is to practice and practice. Indeed, many experts have observed the wide gap between the math scores of American and Chinese students on international tests. Asian schools focus heavily on math facts. Failure to do so can effectively close off the higher realms (范围) of mathematics — a study found that most errors made by students working on complex math problems were due to a lack of automaticity (自动性) in basic math facts.60. What did Suzanne Kail think was the most important in learning at first? A. Memorizing math facts. B. Problem solving ability. C. Students’ active participation D Studying word roots...61. How does the study of word roots benefit students? A. It helps students build a large vocabulary more easily. B. It provides students with motivation for rote memorization. C. It helps students break up their conventional thinking. D. It gives students more knowledge about Greek and Latin.62. Why is there a gap between the math scores of American and Chinese students? A. Because American students’ love for learning has been killed. B. Because American students are not very familiar with basic math facts. C. Because Chinese students have a higher math level than American students. D. Because Chinese students are becoming more creative than American students.63. The author might NOT approve of . A. using rote memorization B. abandoning 21st-century methods C. practicing handwriting D. remembering basic math facts repeatedly C Experience the newly opened Grand Canyon(大峡谷) West Skywalk in Colorado.

The answer is that your way of life, wherever you live in the world, is tied to the tropics (热带地区) in many ways. If you live in a house, wash your hair, eat fruits and vegetables, drink soda, or drive a car, you can be certain that you are affected by the loss of tropical forests. Biologically, we are losing the richest regions on earth when, each minute, a piece of tropical forest, the size of ten city blocks, disappears. As many as five million species of plants, animals, and insects (40 to 50 percent of all living things) live there, and are being lost faster than they can be found and described. Their loss is immeasurable. Take rubber for example. For many uses, only natural rubber from trees will do. Synthetics are not good enough. Today over half the world's commercial rubber is produced in Malaysia and Indonesia, while the Amazon's rubber industry produces much of the world's four million tons. And rubber is an important material in making gloves, balloons, footwear and many sporting goods. Thousands of other tropical plants are valuable for their industrial use. Many scientists strongly believe that deforestation contributes to the greenhouse effect – or heating of the earth from increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As we destroy forests, we lose their ability to change carbon dioxide into oxygen. Carbon dioxide levels could double within the next half-century, warming the earth by as much as 4.5 degrees. The result A partial melt-down of polar ice caps, raising sea levels as much as 24 feet; even 15 feet could threaten anyone living within 35 miles of the coast. Unbelievable? Maybe. But scientists warn that by the time we realize the severe effects of tropical deforestation, it will be 20 years too late. Can tropical deforestation affect our everyday lives? Now, you should have got the answer.68. The underlined word "synthetics" in Paragraph 4 probably means . A. natural rubber B. tropical materials C. man-made material D. commercial rubber69. In the last paragraph the author tries to . A. tell people how to avoid the tropical deforestation B. persuade people to buy something synthetic C. show us how important it is to protect the tropical forests D. let people realize the effect of tropical deforestation70. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. The forests are losing their function in turning carbon dioxide into oxygen. B. Many of our daily uses are related to the tropical forests. C. Tropical plants can be used to make industrial products. D. High carbon dioxide levels will make the earth warmer.71. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A. Tropical Forests B. Saving the Tropical Forests C. Tropical Forests and Our Life D. The Greenhouse EffectsE Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill（友好）between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only was there the incident of tragedy involving murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests. One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents' victory was unfair. Their manager was in a rage when he said, "This isn't hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished. " The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years. The American basketball team announced that they would not yield the first place to Russia, after a disputable end to their contest. The game had ended in disorder. It was thought at first that the United States had won by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into the basket. It was the first time the U.S. had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury (评审委员会) debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals. Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals or in non-national teams , might be too much to hope for. But in present organization of Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism (爱国主义).72. The author thinks that in recent years Olympic Games have . A. showed little international friendship B. greatly encouraged international brotherhood C. created goodwill between the nations D. created only misunderstanding and hatred73. What does the underlined word "yield" in Paragraph 3 mean? A. turn up B. pick up C. come up D. give up74. Which statement best summarizes this passage? A. Athletes should compete as individuals. B. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved. C. Any team that has disrespectful behavior should be suspended. D. Different teams often have disputes when fighting for the first place.75. The basketball match showed that . A. aggressive patriotism was displayed in the incident B. the Russian team should not have taken advantage of the last three seconds C. the appeal jury was too inefficient in making a decision D. the American team should have taken the first place.篇安溪一中2014届高三年暑期第二次返校检测英 语 试 题 第II卷（非选择题 共35分）温馨提示：1. 考试结束后，将第II卷和答题卡一并交回。2. 请用0.5黑色签字笔将班级、姓名、考号填写在答题卡及第II卷的相应位置。3. 考生应严格遵守考试时间和考试纪律。第一节 短文填词（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，根据以下提示：1）汉语提示，2）首字母提示，3）语境提示，在每个空格内填入一个适当的英语单词，并将该词完整地写在右边相对应的横线上。所填单词要求意义准确，拼写正确。 As is k to us all, the environment is getting worse.

In a world of computers and the Internet, more people prefer the keyboard to the pen. But Chinese handwriting is an important part of our culture, and the spirit of our nation can be found in it. Despite the fact that computers are very convenient, I still think handwriting is important today. Good handwriting makes a good impression on others; it also can represent your personality and attitude. People with terrible and messy handwriting are considered to be careless and irresponsible guys.Most people, when they receive a good handwritten letter, feel respected, and are often deeply touched by the emotion that is transmitted from the handwriting.In my opinion, Chinese characters are very beautiful, and rich in culture. We need to keep them and develop them, no matter how modern society becomes.听力录音材料Text 1M: Rose, there is a really good view over there. W: Sorry, we can’t stop here. There is nowhere to park.Text 2W: Has your sister bought her book yet?M: She bought a medical book. The Chinese and English textbooks were sold out.Text 3W: Hello, John. How are you feeling now? Somebody said you’ve been sick.M: They must have had me confused with my brother. He has been sick all week. But I’ve never felt better in my life.Text 4W: You don’t mind if we don’t watch the soccer game tonight, do you?M: You must be joking. My brother is one of the star players.Text 5M: If you excuse me, I really should be off now. W: Not yet surely. Have another drink at least.M: No, thank you all the same. And thank you very much for the delicious meal.W: Thank you for coming.Text 6W: Hi, Jack. Are you doing anything on Friday night? M: Hmm. ⑹Friday night?W: Yes, ⑹the day after tomorrow.M: Let me think. Well, I have an appointment with Professor Smith in the morning. And, I will attend a lecture in the afternoon. And…oh, yes! ⑺My brother just called to say he would fly here that night. I told him I would pick him up.W: Oh, hat’s too bad! M: What’s the matter?W: Well, ⑻it’s my birthday. I’m having dinner with Joyce, and I thought I’d invite more friends and make it a party. M: See, I’m really sorry, but I won’t be able to make it.W: I’m sorry, too. But that’s OK.Text 7W: ⑼And don’t forget to read Chapter Five and answer the questions on Page 99! Oh, Jonathan, just a minute—I want to speak to you. M: Yes, Mrs Fenway?W: Jonathan, why didn’t you answer any questions on the homework?M: Oh, I’m sorry Mrs Fenway, ⑽but I read the wrong chapter last night.W: Oh, I see. But why didn’t you read the right chapter after you looked at the questions?M: well, I had to do too much other homework last night.W: And why were you late this morning?M: Oh, ⑾I had to walk to school because the bus got a flat tire.W: Oh, I’m sorry to hear that, Jonathan. Well, ⑼hurry to your next class or you’ll be late.M: I will, Mrs Fenway. See you tomorrow.Text 8W: How important are friends to you, Bill?M: That’s kind of a strange question for this setting, don’t you think so?W: Well, ⑿the teacher hasn’t come in yet, class hasn’t begin, and I was just wondering about it. So, what do you think about friends?M: I’ve never regarded them as particularly important. Perhaps that’s because I come from a big family—⒀two brothers and three sisters, and lots of cousins. That’s what’s really important to me. What about you?W: My situation, you know, is different, so I have different ideas. To me friendship is the most important thing in life. It’s more important even than love. If you love someone, you can always fall out of love again, and that can lead to a lot of hurt feelings and bitterness. But a good friend is a friend for life.Text 9M: Let’s discuss your education background. You were an English major, weren’t you?W: Yes, that’s right. ⒂But I liked French best.M: Fine. And could you tell me what kind of work experience you’ve had?W: My last position was with Loomis and Martin. ⒃That was from 2005 to 2009. That’s a law firm in Sacramento. Before that I worked for Biship and Baldwin. That was from 2003 to 2005.M: Could you tell me what kind of salary you are expecting?W: Well, in my last job I was making $1,500 a month. I understand that this position has a starting salary of around $1,400 a month.M: That’s right. W: That would be fine with me. ⒄What I care about most is if the company provides opportunities for further education.M: Yes, our employees are allowed to take up six hours a week at full pay, to attend college courses.Text 10W: Paul and I met when we were both at university. In fact, we hated each other at first. He was my best friend Sophie’s boyfriend. ⒅We were all in the same class at school. His relationship with my friend didn’t last long but I didn’t start to like him until we ended up working in the same restaurant.
