Even though he was a great teacher, he seemed rather like a character out of a horror movie. He didn’t look that bad, but somehow, he looked extremely scary to me.  Some kids began to believe that he was a murderer or a ghost; some believed he was mad and a few believed that he might have suffered a lot in his life. I was one of those “few”.  One day I gathered up my courage and headed towards the school garden. He was, as usual, sitting on a bench alone. I breathed heavily a few times and then walked towards him.  “How are you?” I asked with my voice crackling.   He managed to say, “Fine.”  “Well, good to know,” I tried to be happy.  “Hmmm…” was all I heard.  “What’s up with you?” then seeing a puzzled look on his face, I tried to be more formal and respectful. “I mean, why aren’t you like all other people in the school? Why are you always so quiet and sad? Why…”  “No dear, some things are better left unsaid,” he said gloomily.  “Oh no sir, nothing is better left unsaid. If you want to share your feelings with me and reduce the pain of your heart, you are free to do so. I promise I will never ever tell anyone.”  “With you? You are just a little girl; what will you understand?”  I was somehow offended but still I managed to persuade him, “So what, Sir? You see, if you tell me your problem, you will have a light heart and you will have the feeling that someone somewhere cares about you.”  “Oh okay, that was a very nice belief indeed; let’s take a walk and I will let you know everything.”  Soon after our little talk, there was a visible change on his face. Later that day in the class, there was a smile on his face.56. From the text, we can know about Mr. Patrick that he _____.A. once acted a character in a horror movie          B. scared his students with his looksC. often punished the students for bad marks        D. did better in teaching than others in the school57. Mr. Patrick was thought by the author to _____.A. be a murderer or a ghost        B. be madC. have suffered a lot             D. have a special personality58. While walking towards Mr. Patrick in the school garden, the author felt____.A. excited  B. nervous   C. worried     D. happyB   “People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before,” says Patsy Rowe, “ Manners have fallen off the radar(雷达).” Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people don’t wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint（抱怨）about the noise. Here are some examples of rudeness.   Some people prefer to do almost everything over the internet. To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because humans don’t work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous（匿名的） rude messages by email.    However, rudeness is never acceptable, Don’t assume it is OK to be rude if the person you’re in touch with won’t recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.    We shouldn’t blame technology for our shortcomings. Technology is here to help us, but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step is acknowledging our shortcomings. People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more help if we’d publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.59. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?   A. People can tell good from bad behavior.   B. Radar is able to observe human behavior   C. People care little about their behavior   D. Radar can be used to predict human behavior.60. Some people are less willing to deal with humans because_______.   A. they are becoming less patient          B .they are growing too independent   C. they have to handle many important messages   D. they have to follow an evolutionary step backward.61. The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is______.   A. ridiculous   B. disgusting    C. acceptable     D. reasonable62. What can we learn from the last paragraph?   A. We should applaud good behavior.       B. Technology can never be blamed.   C. We should keep pointing out mistakes.    D. Technology will take over lives one day.CW Taipei  The W Hotel is among the city’s big-name luxury(奢华) hotels. Futuristic and fancy, the W Taipei’s setting is reminding you of a Lady Gaga video; perhaps that explains why the singer insisted on staying here on a recent visit. There are eight room types to choose from, with names such as Fabulous and Extreme Wow. They vary wildly in style.  10 Zhongxiao E.

The Grand is an expression of classical Chinese art mixed with Western construction principles. The Grand Hotel is attractive and full of history, but rooms are aging, so don’t expect the inside to be as “grand” as the outside. You can enjoy yourself at a driving range of golf, year-round pools and no fewer than eight restaurants.No. 1, Lane 1, Zhongshan N. Road, Section 4 shuttle from Yuan Shan MRT; +886 2 2886 8888; from NT$4,800 (US$165); www. grand-hotel.orgDandy Hotel  From free drinks and snacks in the lobby(大堂) to seasonally themed decorations, this hotel takes care of the small touches. But what places the Dandy Hotel above others in the same price category（范围）are views over Da-An Park; they’re reminders of those of New York’s Central Park. Rooms with views are worth the extra money paid, but book early -- there are only two on each floor.  No. 33, Xin Yi Road, Sect. 3, Dongmen MRT; +886 2 2707 6899; from NT$2,340 (US$80); www.dandyhotel.com.tw Homey Hotel  Taiwanese brother and sister Josh and Kelly make guests feel right at home at this bargain Hostel.

Take my family’s last vacation. It was my six-year-old son’s winter break from school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York, so I had to get back. But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn’t stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.    The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged-okay, ordered-them to wait it out at the airport, to “earn” more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?    Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.    I've made living looking for the best deals and exposing (揭露) the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC’s Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.    I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth. I’m also mean when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn’t hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its longer, and it’s the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.67. Why did Delta give the author's family credits?   A.

Some of this growth has occurred in the developed world, but the most dramatic increase has been in the Third World. Almost all the world’s population growth over the next 30 years will take place in the cities of developing countrie.By the year 2030, for the first time in history, 60 percent of the world’s people will be living in cities.    This is actually good news in some ways. “Cities are the fundamental building blocks of prosperity,” says Marc Weiss, chairman of the Prague Institute for Global Urban Development, “ both for the nation and for families.” Industrial and commercial activities in urban areas account for between 50 and 80 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) in most countries of the world“ there’s the crazy notion that the way to deal with a city’s problems is to keep people out of them,”Weiss continued. “But the problems of the rural life are even more serious than those of the city.” For better or worse, urban-watchers are clear on one point: The quality of life for most people in the future will be determined by the quality of cities. Those cities will be bigger than ever. And yet, population numbers by themselves don’t determine a city’s prospects; after all, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and Hamburg, Germany, have the same population. Nor is explosive growth necessarily the determining factor. “City problems,” one authority points out, “mostly have to do with weak, ineffective, and usually unrepresentative city governments.”71. The passage mainly discusses ______________.   A. Big cities. B. City life. C. Population. D. Gross Domestic Product.72. According to the passage, in the year of 2030 _______.   A. there will be 21 cities having a population of more than 10 million.   B. rural area will be extinct.   C. most people will live in cities.   D. the third world will keep abreast with the developed world.73. In the author’s opinion, _________.   A. better city, better life   B. both urban and rural areas have a larger population   C. the larger population, the faster a city develops   D. both urban and rural areas have larger gross domestic products74. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?   A. The developing countries develop faster than the developed countries.   B. Cities contribute more to the GDP than the villagers.   C. Some problems are more easily solved in cities than in country.   D. It’s impossible to solve urban problems by getting people out of cities.75. The last paragraph implies that ____________.   A. Public services are ineffective.                 B. Cities are increasing too fast.   C. Population is not linked with development.   D. Government should be responsible for the problems in the cities.             2013-2014学年上学期高三 英语科 第三阶段试卷（II）卷 （35分）书面表达 I短文填词（10分）We have all heard of “just do it”--- the motto of the Nike Corporation.
