项涂黑。
A
One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early
afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see
far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t
have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.
Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all the survival
shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.
He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put.
The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body
temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him. Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow
cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on
top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.
By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last,
Nicholas did the only thing he could — he huddled (蜷缩) in his cave and slept.
The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his
tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday,
Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher
found him. Having been stuck in the snow for two days, Nicholas was saved.
Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm ,if it had not been for TV. He had often
watched Grylls’ survival show Man vs. Wild .That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life.
When Grylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was impressed that Nicholas had made it
since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.
21. What caused Nicholas to get lost at the mountain?
A. Having no guides to help.
B. Forgetting the way back.
C. Terrible weather.
D. Poor eyesight.
22. How did Nicholas keep himself warm?
A. He built a snow cave.
B. He found a shelter.
C. He kept on skiing.
D. He made a fire.
23. Why was Gryll’s show mentioned?
A. It was Nicholas’ favorite TV program.
B. It taught Nicholas useful knowledge.
C. Nicholas shared his story on the show.
D. Gryll asked Nicholas to make a TV interview.
24. Which of the following may best describe Nicholas?
A. Calm and brave. B. Responsible and curious.
C. Lucky and smart. D. Confident and outgoing.
BHousework is a frequent source of conflict between a lazy husband and his hard-working wife ,
but women have been warned not to expect men to pull their weight any time soon.
A study from Oxford University has found that men are unlikely to be doing an equal share of
housework before 2050. Mothers, the researchers warned, will continue to take care of children and
do housework for the next four decades, largely because housework such as cleaning and cooking is
still regarded as “women’s work”.
The gap between the amount of time men and women spend on housework has narrowed slowly
over the past 40 years. But it will take another four decades before true housework equality is
achieved, the study concluded.
The research found that in the Nordic countries, the burden of housework is shared more equally
between men and women. In the UK, women spend an average of four hours and forty minutes each
day on housework, compared with two hours and twenty-eight minutes for men. This is an
improvement from the 1960s, when British women typically spent six hours a day on housework,
while men spent just 90 minutes every day.
But progress towards housework equality appears to be slowing in some countries. Dr Oriel
Sullivan, a research reader from Oxford’s Department of Sociology, said, “we’ve looked at what is
affecting the equality in the home, and we have found that certain tasks seem to be given according
to whether they are viewed as ‘men’s work’ or ‘women’s work’.”
Dr. Sullivan said cultural attitudes taught at school may be responsible for the views of
housework. “At school it is much easier for a girl to be a tomboy, but it is much more difficult for a
boy to enjoy baking and dancing,” she said.
25. What does the underlined part “pull their weight” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?
A. Lose weight. B. Earn money.
C. Do equal housework. D. Be lazy.
26. Why will women continue to do more housework before 2050?
A. Men are too busy to help. B. They would like to do so.
C. They can do better in housework.
D. Housework will still be considered "women’s work".
27. In Dr. Sullivan’s opinion, what is to blame for the housework inequality? A. Cultural attitudes towards housework. B. Policies made by the government.
C. The time spent on work. D. The type of housework.
C
When you start working on something but don't finish it, thoughts of the unfinished work
continue to jump into your mind even when you've moved on to other things. Psychologists refer the
phenomenon as the Zeigamik effect. The effect was first observed by a Russian psychologist named
Bluma Zeigamik. While sitting in a busy restaurant in Vienna, she found the waiters had better
memories of unpaid orders. Once the bill was paid, however, the waiters had difficulty remembering
the exact details of the orders.
In one of her studies, she asked participants to complete simple tasks such as putting together
puzzles, or solving math problems. Half of the participants were interrupted halfway through these
tasks. After an hour-long delay, Zeigamik asked the participants to give an account of what they'd
been working on. She discovered that those who had their work interrupted were twice as likely to
remember what they had been doing as those who had actually completed the tasks.
We can use this effect to our advantage. For example, if you're struggling to memorize
something important, interruptions might actually work to your advantage. Rather than simply
remember the information over and over again, review it several times and then take a break. While
you're focusing on other things, you'll find yourself mentally returning to the information you were
studying.
We often put off tasks until the last moment, only completing them in a rush at the last possible
moment. Unfortunately, this can lead to heavy stress and even poor performance. One way to
overcome this is to put the Zeigamik effect to work. Start by taking the first step, no matter how
small. Once you’ve begun—but not finished—your work, you'll find yourself thinking of the task
until, at last, you finish it. You might not finish it all at once, but each small step you take puts you
closer to your final goal.
28.What does the Zeigamik effect refer to?
A. Waiters have good memories.
B. Once interrupted, one will forget things easily.
C. Most people can't focus on one thing for a long time.
D. People remember unfinished tasks better than completed ones.29.How should we study according to the Zeigamik effect?
A. Repeat over and over again.
B. Don’t finish the study task all at once.
C. Focus on several tasks at a time.
D. Have enough rest before studying.
30.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. How to get rid of heavy stress.
B. Why we should set a final goal.
C. How to break the habit of delaying work.
D. Why we often complete work in a rush.

Ajay Munot, a rich businessman in India, has built and donated 90 houses to the poor, instead
of spending the money on a wedding for his daughter.
Munot had been 36 to spend $115,000 on his daughter Shreya’s wedding, but after
37 with Shreya, he decided there was a better way to 38 all that money, which was to help
those 39 .
They both agreed that providing the poor with their own houses was the 40 idea. Munot
began 41 90 houses in a land belonging to him. On the big day, the bride and groom were the
ones who handed the keys to the newly built 42 to the carefully selected persons.
In order to qualify for a new home, people needed to 43 some standards—they had to be
poor, and didn’t suffer from alcohol, drug or gambling addiction. The few 44 selected didn’t
just get a roof over their heads, but also 45 to electricity and clean drinking water, things that
they could only 46 before.
As for Shreya, she said that her father’s 47 is the greatest wedding gift he could have
given her. “I am very happy with the 48 we made and consider it the biggest gift for my wedding.”
The 90 houses measure 12 by 20 square feet, feature two windows and two doors, and have all
been 49 red and white. They’re 50 by Western standards, but for their 51
owners, they are more than they had ever hoped for.
Ajay Munot told reporters that all 52 businessmen should do something similar for their
children’s weddings, 53 wasting the money.
“This is a new chapter in history and I hope that the same 54 will be followed by other
rich communities,” he said, “We have some 55 towards our society.”
36. A. planning B. inspiring C. managing D. pretending

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。
A 15yearold boy planned to put a ball covered with petrol into his mouth and set it on fire. He
would film the dangerous action and put it on YouTube. And, he hoped to become famous on the
Internet. But things didn't go the way he imagined. His clothing caught fire, and he was rushed to the
hospital with serious burns on his body.
YouTube hosts millions of videos of people attempting dangerous actions. Many of them are by
kids and young adults. Some experts say that by hosting these videos, YouTube encourages young
viewers to take deadly risks. Research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that
more than 180,000 Americans die from accidental injuries each year. That's one person every three
minutes. More than 14,000 of those killed are kids under the age of 19. Is YouTube to blame?
People have always found it interesting to watch others try risky things. Audiences are mad
about these kinds of things. Some of the earliest Greek comedies had characters followed by wild
animals and knocking into walls. Now, in the age of the Internet, anyone with a camera and a
YouTube account can create this kind of “fun”. Many viewers, especially teenagers, are influenced
by what they see and want to try it themselves. “YouTube has taken the playing in the neighborhood
to a worldwide level,” says Clair Mellenthin, a researcher from the Centers.
Supporters of YouTube argue that it isn't YouTube's responsibility to examine its content.
“Parents should be the ones to make sure that kids are behaving safely,” they say. In fact, YouTube
has a rule on content. For example, dangerous activities that have a risk of serious physical harm or
death are not allowed. Staff of YouTube, carefully watch the website 24 hours a day, looking for
videos that are against their rules. But is this enough?

概要写作参考范文
Possible version :
Millions of people, some of whom are teenagers, are attempting dangerous actions and put
them on YouTube, which makes people believe YouTube should be responsible for such tragedies.
The fact is that people, whether ancient or modern, love watching others try risky or deadly things.
Therefore, not only YouTube but also parents and teenage viewers themselves should be responsible
for their monitoring and behaviors. (63 words)
