She already had more clothes than she knew what to do with them, so he couldn’t get any kind of apparel. She never ate sweets, so candy was out of the question. What then? He had a very special reason for wanting to impress her with just the right gift; tomorrow he was going to make an offer of marriage to her.He finally decided on perfume (香水) . All girls liked perfume. That raised another problem, however. What kind did she prefer? He couldn’t ask her, because that would ruin the surprise.At last the young man hit upon a brilliant idea. That afternoon, pretending to take his girl-friend’s fox terrier, little dog. Together, the young man and the dog went directly to the perfume counter of the town’s biggest department store. Good! There was a large array(长列) of perfume. He beckoned (招呼) a clerk, instructing her to open a large number of bottles and wave the stoppers under the dog’s nose.Nestled in the young man’s arms, the terrier began to be restless and bored as this seemingly pointless game went on. Then Fritz suddenly became frisky, wiggling in the young man’s arms and barking excitedly, as the clerk waved one stopper under his nose.“I’ll take that one,” said the young man to the clerk. The price was high; but it was worth it, he thought.“My favorite perfume!” said the delighted girl the next evening as she unwrapped the package. “How did you know?” she asked, dabbing some perfume behind each ear.“Intuition(直觉), I guess,” said the young man, deciding that it wasn’t exactly wrong to tell a lie under the circumstances. One day, after they were married, he would admit that his intuition had really been a little dog named Fritz. 66.Which of the following words best describes the young man in the story?A. kind-hearted B. curiousC. creative D. mean67.The underlined word “frisky” in Paragraph 4 means        .A. lively B. angryC. uneasy D. puzzled68.According to the story, the birthday present for the girl was actually decided on by       .

The young man wanted to give his girlfriend a pleasant surprise.B. The pet dog Fritz knew what the young man wanted very well.C. The kind of perfume the young man chose was expensive.D. The young man told a white lie about his final choice of the perfume. B When young people get their first real jobs, they face a lot of new, confusing situations.

Eventually（最后）, they realize that university classes can’t be the only preparation for all of the different situations that arise in the working world.Perhaps the best way to learn how to behave in the working world is to identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior. In doing so, you will be able to see what it is that you admire in this person. For example, you’ll observe how he acts in a crisis. Perhaps even more important, you’ll be able see what is his approach to day-to-day situations.While you are observing your colleague, you should be asking yourself whether his behavior is like yours and how you can learn from his responses to a variety of situations. By watching and learning from a model, you’ll probably begin to identify and adopt good working habits.70.

D An Australian inventor has designed and built an environmentally friendly ferry（渡船） that uses solar and wind power to transport people around Sydney Harbor. Robert Dane and his Solar Sailor were given the top prize at the Australian Design Awards recently.     The Solar Sailor has been in use for six months. It uses four sources of energy for its power — solar, wind, battery power with stored solar energy and a fuel generator（发电机） in store all controlled by computers. The ferry can travel up to 7.5 knots on just wind and solar power. It's solar wings and fiberglass solar panels（太阳电池板）  which not only take in sunlight and store it in batteries, but also act as sails.      "We angle（调整角度） our solar panels to the sun in two planes（面）, which increases the amount of energy we get from the sun by 40 percent," Dane says. "And also we can use that same structure to do another job, which is also the sail, and so these wing sails actually push the ferry forward just like a soft sail does."      Computers check the sun and wind and angle the solar wings to take in the most sunlight. If there isn't much wind or it is a cloudy day, energy stored in the batteries runs the electric motor for up to five hours."If the batteries are too low, then the computer turns the generator on so the boat is always able to meet a commercial schedule, or get from point A to point B no matter what," Dan explains.     Dane got his idea for the Solar Sailor from a book on insects. He was amazed how insects use their wings to collect solar energy to warm themselves.      "When I read that, I realized there was a good example in nature for what we were going to do, which was to use a solar wing to collect solar energy and also to sail," he says. 77. What is the Solar Sailor?   A. A sailor who is good at using solar energy.   B. An Australian inventor.    C. A ferry that uses solar and wind power.    D. A new type of generator designed by Dane.78. We can learn from the passage ____ .   A. the ferry sails at a speed of 7.5 kilometers an hour    B. the ferry is good for the environment   C. four sources of energy for the ferry are controlled by Dane    D. solar energy needn't be stored in case of good weather79. Which of the following is NOT true?   A. Dane got his idea for the ferry from a book.    B. That insects use their wings to collect solar energy gave Dane the idea.   C. If the batteries are too low, the ferry travels a little more slowly.     D. Solar wings and fiberglass solar panels can also act as sails.80. What is the purpose of writing this article?   A. To praise the designer Robert Dane.    B. To make an advertisement.   C. To tell us to learn from nature.         D. To introduce a new invention. E Dear Editor:While a new school term is about to begin, perhaps we should reconsider the matter of examinations. In July, two writers(letters to the editor) praised the cancellation(取消)of exams because they believe “Tests don’t tell the whole story”.As a teacher who has worked in four countries, I have had the experience that a student who earns good marks is generally a good student, and a student’s final mark in a subject is usually a grade average of the year’s work. Of course there are expectations, but they do not have the frequency that would give an unfair picture of a student’s ability.The simple fact is that proper class work; diligent exam studies and good marks are almost certain indicators (指示) of a student’s future performance. The opposite is, almost certainly, incompetence. There is no acceptable substitute for competition of quality. How can teachers and future officials determine what a student has learned and remembered? Should we simply take the student’s mark for it? Any institution that “liberates” students from fair and formal exams is misguided, if not ignorant (无知的) and surely the “graduates ” of such institutions will lack trustworthiness(信赖), not to mention being rejected by foreign universities for graduate or other studies.When all is said and done, I sense that a fear of failure and a fear of unpleasant comparison with others are at the bottom of most ban-exam talks. Excellence and quality fear nothing. On the contrary, they seek competition and desire the satisfaction of being the best. 81. According to the letter, a student’s final mark ____________ .A. is often encouraging    B. often tells whether he likes the object or not C. often prove unreliable   D. often gives a fair picture of the year’s work  82. The two writers mentioned in the first paragraph____________ .A.  seemed to be worried about the poor marks of their students B. must have proposed other ways of testing studentsC. opposed judging students by the results of examsD. regarded exams as a way of punishing students83. Which of the following will be the author of this passage probably agree with?A. Tests are an effective measure of the students’ abilities.B. Tests are not effective in measuring the students’ abilities.C. Tests can only measure some of the students’ abilities.D. Tests may not be useful for measuring students’ abilities84. If a student graduated from a university which does not require exams, he would________ .A. have to continue his studies B. not be admitted by foreign institutionsC. be incompetent D. have a feeling of failure85. According to the writer of the letter, those who oppose exams __________ .A. are incompetent teachers     B. fear failureC. have no confident in competition     D. both B and C  2012~2013学年高三英语月考（一）试卷         答题卡        2012.09.08.第一卷试题的答案请填涂在答题卡上。第一卷得分 第二卷得分 总分  第二卷 笔试部分（35分）第四部分  写作(共二节，满分35分)第一节 填入适当的单词（共10题小题，每空1分，满分10分）1. Play inside the room, boys.

There is no doubt that more attention should be paid to the study on different subjects. I will put my heart and soul into the teachers’ lectures in class, share my methods with other students and make full preparations for the coming nation college entrance examination.Besides, it is very important to take exercise to build up my own body and attend a wide variety of after-class activities like football, badminton and hiking, which can enrich our life and enable me to make more friends as well. After exercise, I will feel more energetic.Personally, it’s necessary for students to adopt more activities even though we are busy with our subjects. We are expected to keep the balance between busy school life and after-class activities.                                             Yours sincerely,                                             Li Hua(125个词)
