The plane is full of smoke and the engine sounds scary. Two minutes later, the engines are turned off. We are now sitting in a plane with no sound. And we can see: Life is over.That really happened. In January 2009, I had a front-row seat on Flight 1549, the plane that crash-landed in the Hudson River in New York.Now let me tell you the three things I learned when the silence came.First, I thought about all the people I wanted to reach out to but didnt. I thought about all the experiences I wanted to have but never did. I no longer wanted to put off anything in life. Second, I really regretted the time I wasted on things that did not matter. I decided to remove negative energy from my life. Third, I realized, wow, dying was not scary. But it was very sad just because I only wished I could have seen my kids grow up.Fortunately, I was given the gift of a miracle of not dying that day. I was given another gift, with which I was to see into the future and come back and live differently.About a month later, my wife and I were at a performance by my daughter, not much artistic talent. Yet, Im crying. I realized that above all, the only goal in my life was to be a good father.Audience, again, imagine the same thing happening on your plane. How would you change? What would you get done? And more than anything, are you being the best parent you can?Thank you.1. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Air crash is always a tragedy.B. What I learned from the air crash.C. Life is a miracle as we imagine. D. How to become a good father.2. When does the idea “Life is over” come into being?A. Exactly during the explosion.B. When the plane was full of smoke.C. Before the engines sounded scary.D. When the engines were turned off.3. What is the authors final goal in life?A. Never to put off anything in life. B. To remove negative energy from life.C. To see his daughter grow up.D. To be a good father.4. What type of writing is this text?A. A speech on ones air travel experience. B. An emergency crash-landing guide.C. An introduction of an adventure novel. D. A safety training for air passengers.BIn 1975, George Carlin appeared on a popular TV show, Saturday Night Live, with his famous words about blue food. “Why is there no blue food? I cant find blue foodI cant find the flavor of blue! I mean yellow is lemon; orange is orange and red is cherry. Where is the blue food? ”Well, Carlin pretty much has it righttheres not no blue food, but theres certainly not a lot of it. Fresh-picked blueberries are blue, though they become purple when they are turned into jam. The blue in blueberrieslike the purple in grapes and the red in tomatoesis found in nature. But it isnt a hot color for food. People dont seem to prefer blue food. Some diet programs even suggest that those determined to lose weight should make their food blue. Eating, in part, begins with our eyes. Charles Spencean experimental psychologist from Oxford Universitypoints out that color can change our taste experience. Commonly, we consider red-colored foods up to 20% sweeter than they actually are; and green foods as being more sour. Spence suggests: human expectations may be influenced by our long history of watching - green fruits can become sweet as they grow up and turn red.But what about blue? Except blueberries, much of the blue food we see these days is dyed blue artificially. Food producers argue that artificial color doesnt do much harm to health. A lot of research shows that some physical problems of kids are related to food dyeswhile other studies show no effects at all. Blue birthday cake or even blue-dyed chicken can be served on the dinner table. So what? 5. George Carlins words are placed at the beginning of the passage to _. A. show the authors opinion B. introduce a TV showC. tell a famous person D. lead in the topic6. Which of the following statements of blue is true?A.

Eating sometimes begins with our eyes because _.A. our taste experience can be influenced by colorB. red-colored food are 20% sweeter than green foodC. people prefer red-colored food to green foodD. before eating, people watch food for a long time8.

Not very much, according to many educators. However, scientists say it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important. New evidence suggests that the link between handwriting and educational development is deep.Children not only learn to read more quickly when they first learn to write by hand, but they are also better able to create ideas and remember information. In other words, its not only what we write that matters but how.A study led by Karin James, a psychologist at Indiana University, gave support to that view. A group of children, who had not learned to read and write, were offered a letter or a shape on a card and asked to copy it in one of three ways: draw the image on a page but with a dotted outline（虚线）, draw it on a piece of blank white paper, or type it on a computer. Then the researchers put the children in a brain scanner and showed them the image again.It was found that when children had drawn a letter freehand without a dotted outline or a computer, the activity in three areas of the brain were increased. These three areas work actively in adults when they read and write. By contrast, children who chose the other two ways showed no such effect. Dr. James attributes the differences to the process of free handwriting: Not only must we first plan and take action in a way but we are also likely to produce a result that is variable. Those are not necessary when we have an outline.Its time for educators to change their mind and pay more attention to childrens handwriting.12. What do scientists mean by saying “it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important”?A. Handwriting is not very important to children.B. Handwriting has nothing to do with education.C. Handwriting should not be ignored at present.D. Handwriting can not be learned in a short time.13. What does “that view” in Para. 3 refer to?A. Children read quickly when they write by hand.B. How we write is as important as what we write.C. Children create ideas and remember information.D. A group of students should know what to write.14. Which is NOT the childrens task in the experiment?A. Copy the image on a page but with a dotted outline.B. Draw the image on a piece of blank white paper.C. Type the image directly on a computer. D. Put a brain scanner and show the image again.15.Accordingtothepassage,theauthorobviously_givinguphandwriting.A.isforB.isagainst C.isresponsiblefor D.doesntcareabout 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it cant be avoided. 16 Try physical activity. 17 Running, walking, playing tennis, and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try.Make time for yourself.Schedule time for both work and entertainment.

We are now sitting in a plane with no sound. And we can see: Life is over.”可知，该题正确选项为D。3.D 【命题立意】细节理解题【试题解析】从文章第三段“Now let me tell you the three things I learned when the silence came.”可知，选项A、B、C都是作者在飞机上觉得生命即将结束时学到的人生道理，并不是作者最终的人生目标。由倒数第三段 “I realized that above all, the only goal I have in life is to be a good father.”可知，该题正确选项是D。4.A 【命题立意】体裁判断题【试题解析】根据文章开头“Everyone, please imagine”，第三段“Now let me tell you”，倒数第二段“Audience, again, imagine the same thing”，以及结尾处“Thank you.”可以看出，本文是以演讲的形式叙述作者一次空中旅行的经历，故选项A正确。选项B意为“紧急迫降指南”，选项C意为“一部冒险小说的介绍”，选项D意为“飞机乘客安全培训”都是不正确的。B篇：【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，通过对科学实验结果和人们饮食习惯的分析，介绍了日常饮食中蓝色食物很少见的原因。5.D 【命题立意】文章结构题【试题解析】文章首段George Carlin所说“Why is there no blue food?.”是为了引入文章主题，即：为什么生活中蓝色食物很少见。故该题正确选项是D。6.C 【命题立意】细节理解题【试题解析】该题考查对第二段细节内容的理解程度。根据“Fresh-picked blueberries are blue, though they become purple when they are turned into jam.”可知选项A错误。根据“The blue in blueberrieslike the purple in grapes and the red in tomatoesis found in nature.”可知选项B错误。选项D的内容文中并未提及，
