His employer had a large private library so Owen was able to educate himself. He read a lot in his spare time and at nineteen he was given the job of superintendent(监工) at a Manchester cotton mill. He was so successful there that he persuaded his employer to buy the New Lanark mill in Scotland.When he arrived at New Lanark it was a dirty little town with a population of 2,000 people. Nobody paid any attention to the workers houses or their childrens education. The conditions in the factories were very bad. There was a lot of crime (犯罪)and the men spent most of their wages (工资)on alcoholic drinks.Owen improved the houses. He encouraged people to be clean and save money. He opened a shop and sold the workers cheap, well-made goods to help them. He limited the sale of alcoholic drinks. Above all, he fixed his mind on the childrens education. In 1816 he opened the first free primary school in Britain.People came from all over the country to visit Owens factory. They saw that the workers were healthier and more efficient than in other towns. Their children were better fed and better educated. Owen tried the same experiment in the United States. He bought some land there in 1825, but the community was too far away. He could not keep it under control and lost most of his money.Owen never stopped fighting for his idea. Above all he believed that people are not born good or bad. He was a practical man and his ideas were practical. If you give people good working conditions, he thought, they will work well and, the most important thing of all, if you give them the chance to learn, they will be better people. 1. For Owen, his greatest achievement in New Lanark was _.A. improving workers housesB. helping people to save moneyC. preventing men from getting drunk D. providing the children with a good education2. From the passage we may infer that Owen was born _.A. into a rich family B. into a noble familyC. into a poor family D. into a middle class family3 Owens experiment in the United States failed because _. A. he lost all his money B. he did not buy enough land C. people who visited it were not impressed D. it was too far away for him to organize it properly4. We may infer form the passage that no children in Britain could enjoy free education until _. A. 1771B. 1816C. 1825D. 1860 BI recently read a book named Silent Spring written by Rachel Carson. In this book, she warned that some chemicals used in pesticides (杀虫剂) were polluting the air, the water, the earth, and all creatures on earth. After reading the book, I felt deeply concerned. So you may ask, “Are pesticides really dangerous to use?” My answer is yes. And here are my reasons. Do harm to life in waterPesticides do not stay in one place. Their particles (颗粒) fly through the air when they are used, sinking into the soil in the end. The chemicals are then carried away by runoff water, often into rivers and oceans, where they can kill water plants. In the US, for example, pesticides flow into the Mississippi River every year. They then travel to the Gulf Coast, where the rest chemicals kill off yards of wetlands. According to experts, plants in rivers and oceans provide 80 percent of the oxygen content. When pesticides harm these plants, life in rivers and oceans will be harmed as a result._Pesticides not only go into water sources, causing problems there, but they also cause problems on land. When species on land often contact these chemicals, the result can be those animals lowered weight, lowered power to fight diseases, loss of attention, and even death. Do harm to humansHumans are not immune (免疫的) to the effects that wildlife experiences. Pesticides may become part of the food eaten by humans. They remain and increase gradually in our bodies. Some chemicals in pesticides can cause cancer. They may also harm skin and lungs. Recent studies have shown that pesticides can affect human brainwave activity and cause loss of memory and inability to concentrate.Now we can conclude that pesticides are really dangerous to use. They should be replaced for the sake of nature and our health. 5. When reading the book Silent Spring, the writer was extremely _. A. interestedB. bored C. inspired D. worried6. . What would be the best subtitle for Paragraph 3? A. Do harm to plants in water B. Do harm to the environment C. Do harm to wildlife on land D. Do harm to food for wildlife7. Recent studies show that pesticides can lead to _. A. cancer in humans B. poor memory in humans C. decrease in humans weight D. damage to humans skin and lungs8. Whats the writers purpose in writing the passage? A. To persuade us not to use pesticides. B. To encourage us to read Silent Spring. C. To explain why we shouldnt use pesticides. D. To prove that pesticides are dangerous to use.CWhen I began planning to move to Auckland to study, my mother was a little worried about the uncertainty of living in a place that was so different from India, where we lived. She worried particularly about the lack of jobs and cultural differences and the chance that I would face racism(种族主义).Despite these concerns, I came to New Zealand in July 2009.I found the place and the people very nice and supportive. Soon after I arrived, I realized the importance of getting a job to supply my living expenses.Determined to do this on my own, I spent a whole day going from door to door for a job. However, I received little or no response.One afternoon, I walked into a building to ask if there were any job opportunities. The people there were very surprised and advised me not to continue my job search in that manner. As I was about to leave, a clerk in the building, who had been listening to what others had said, approached me and asked me to wait outside. Fifteen minutes later, he returned, and asked me what my plans were and encouraged me to stay confident. Then he offered to take me to his friends company, Royal Oak, to search for a job. The following day, I received a call from a store in Royal Oak offering me a job.It seems that the world always gives back to you when you need it. And this time, it was a complete stranger who turned out to be a real blessing.9. What wasnt the authors mother worried about? A. There might be cultural differences. B. People might look down on the author. C. The author couldnt speak the local language. D. It might be difficult for the author to find a job.10. After staying in New Zealand for a short time, the author . A. decided to go back to his own country. B. felt the local people were not very friendly. C. wanted to get a job that needed practical skills. D. had to find a job to cover his living expenses.11. When the author went into a building to look for a job, . A. a clerk gave him encouragement and advice. B. he was confident that he would find a good one. C. he found many college students like him already there. D. a clerk recommended him to the company he worked for. D You wake up in the morning，the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings，you say hello，and the drama starts. The person on the other end has a depressing(令人沮丧的)tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!Communicating with negative (消极)people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think，but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.Life brings ups and downs，but some people，are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others pity or respect. When you communicate with positive people，your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted. When the dagger(匕首)of a negative person is put in you，you feel the heavy feeling that，all in all，brings you down.Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a coworker，or relative. In this case，say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let outyour anger back to the negative person，but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they wont feel ashamed of themselves about that.Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to (附着)you throughout the rest of your day，which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.12The purpose of the first paragraph is to_. Amake a comparison Boffer an evidence Cintroduce a topic Ddescribe a daily scene13How can negative people have effect on us? ABy influencing our emotion. BBy telling us the nature of life. CBy changing our way of thinking. DBy comparing their attitude to life with ours.14Some negative people base their happiness on_. Aother peoples pity for them Bmaking other people unhappy Cbuilding up a positive attitude Dother peoples respect for them15According to the passage，to reduce negative peoples influence on us，we are advised_. Ato change negative peoples attitude to life Bto show our dissatisfaction to negative people Cto make negative people feel ashamed of themselves Dto communicate with negative people as little as possible第二小节：（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。 A lot of parents think kids should do their homework right after school and sit still until all their work is done. 16 A lot of research shows that the usual ways of studying may not always be the best ways. Here are some good study habits that may work for you. (1) Move before you study.Maybe your parents tell you to do your homework as soon as you get off the bus. Ask if you can play basketball or run for 15 minutes first. 17 Its just that exercising your body may help your brain ready to study. (2) Pick your study place.Your parents may have set up a great desk in a quiet room. But you may feel better doing homework on the floor in your bedroom. 18 Your bedroom might give you privacy (隐私). But if you start looking at the stuff in your room instead of your math problems, find another place to work. (3) Dont cram (突击式学习) for tests. When you have a test, you might want to wait until the night before to study. 19 When you have to remember information, its best to go over it several times for a few days. That way, you have a chance to really learn it. (4) 20 When you work on something for a long time, you might start thinking about other things. You might start daydreaming about your soccer game or an upcoming party. Then your mind isnt on the homework. So get up and take a 10-minute walk. Then come back to your homework. You should be ready to focus again.A. The important thing is to find a place where youll pay attention. B. Inform your friends and parents of your study routine.C.
