Therefore 第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）AA characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.This attitude toward manual(体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪华地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.56. The expression “ wait on table” in the second paragraph means “_”.A. work in a furniture shopB. keep accounts for a barC. wait to lay the tableD. serve customers in a restaurant57. From paragraph 1, we can know that in America _.A. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made manB. people can always rise to the top through their won effortsC. college professors win great respect from common workersD. people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors.58. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?A. A Respectable Self-made FamilyB. American Attitude toward Manual LaborC. Characteristics of American CultureD. The Development of Manual LaborIf you do not use your arm or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(受责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people cant read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: Practice remembering.59. Some people cant read or write, but they usually have better memories, because _. A. they have save much troubleB. they have saved much time to remember thingsC. they have to use their memories all the timeD. they cant write everything in a little notebook60. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Your memory works in the same way as your arms or legs.B. Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you dont give it enough chance for COne night I was sitting in my room half-listening as my 15-year-old brother fought with my 12-year-old brother Kevin. I didnt pay attention when Kevin rushed up the stairs with the hurt on his face.About 20 minutes later, as I was walking upstairs I heard Kevin crying inside the bathroom. I knocked on the door and asked, “Hey！Kevin, do you want to talk?”No response. I tried again, “Why dont you come out of there?”Again, no response.So, joking around, I grabbed a stack of index cards and a pencil and wrote, “If you dont want to talk, we can write notes to each other.” An hour later I was still sitting on the floor outside the bathroom with two stacks of index cards in front of me. One was blank and one was cards from Kevin on which he had translated all his yucky feelings into words for me. As I read one of Kevins notes, tears came to my eyes. It said, “Nobody in this family cares about me. Im not the youngest, and Im not the oldest, and Im not talented. Tommy thinks Im stupid and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid because hes better at basketball. And youre never around to even notice me.”Tears came to my eyes again as I wrote back to him. “You know Kevin, I really do love you and Im sorry I dont always show it. I am here for you and you are loved in this family.”There was no response for a while, but then I heard a tearing sound coming from inside the bathroom. Kevin, who had run out of index cards, wrote on a torn up paper cup, “Thanks.”I wrote back “For what?” It returned to me with “Loving me” written on it. Since then, I try my best never to half-notice my family members anymore. Kevin and I have closer relationship now, and sometimes when one of us notices that the other is upset well smile and say “Write it on a paper cup.”64. What could be the reason that Kevins Dad doesnt like him?A. Kevin likes fighting with others. B. Kevin is not good at playing basketball. C. Kevin doesnt want to talk to others. D. Kevin is not talented as his brother.65. What did the author learn from the incident?A. Its hard to comfort young brothers at home.B. Its dangerous to half notice someone in the family.C. Its important for family members to show their love. D. The best way to communicate with family members is by writing.66. Why did Kevin stay inside the bathroom alone crying?A. Because he lost in the fight with Tommy.B. Because the author didnt help him win Tommy.C. Because he felt no love from the family members.D. Because he hurt him when rushing up the stairs.67. The underlined word “yucky” (Para.6) most probably means “_ ”.A. unpleasantB. exciting C. doubtfulD. frightening The unquestioned role of a student is to learn as much as possible through whatever means it takes to acquire knowledge. Teachers and professors are human beings and are therefore not perfect. No one knows the correct answer to every question even when you limit the questions to a certain field of study. Having certain skepticism (质疑) about what they are being taught can help students to make the teachers even better by correcting mistakes and misinformation.Students certainly have a huge role in their own abilities to learn. Teachers should act more as guides along the way rather than try to force each student to learn. The best teachers in the world cannot teach an unmotivated student. If the teacher, for whatever reason, cannot motivate the student, then the student must somehow find a way to motivate himself or herself.One method of doing this is by becoming an active rather than a passive student. The more the student involves himself or herself in the act of studying, the better he or she can learn. One of the best ways to become more active is simply to ask the teacher or professor questions. Students who passively sit in a classroom and take everything that the teacher says for granted are not fully using their mental capacities to learn.Better education comes from teachers who are able to get their students to think about a subject rather than merely absorb a certain amount of information. Having a healthy skepticism can improve a students ability to both think and absorb knowledge in a learning situation.Teachers are human beings and no one is one hundred percent right all of the time, even in a classroom situation. Perhaps a teacher would simply unconsciously say the wrong word or pass on some misinformation that the teacher truly believed was correct. A students question could prevent an entire classroom from becoming confused or misinformed.There is of course a fine balance between a student having a healthy skepticism, and just being a downright skeptic. But with the proper attitude toward learning and a little skepticism, both the students and teachers can improve upon the learning process and maximize learning efficiency.68. According to the passage, a good teacher should _.Recently I have learned from the internet that traffic accidents were happened frequently, which mainly resulted from drinking driving.Many drivers think they are luckily to avoid accidents. As the matter of fact, no one could afford to risk their lives driving after drinking. Drunk driving will not only threaten the life of the drivers as well as other people, and also make their family suffer from anxiety caused by it. In addition, drunk driving against the law and more and more people are punished for them.In a word, for the sake of the safety of all people, please not drive after drinking.第二节 书面表达(共1小题,满分15分) （见答题卷）假定你是某外国语学校高二年级3班的学习委员，经常看到有同学抄袭作业，针对这种现象，你将在下周的班会上组织全班同学讨论这一现象，并以“My opinion on copying others homework”为主题作中心发言，请事先用英语写一篇发言稿。注意：1、发言稿须包括以下内容要点；A、 抄袭的主要原因。 B、抄袭的危害及解决办法。C、 简要表明自己的态度。2、词数：不少于120个词；3、发言稿的开头已给出，不计入总词数。May I have your attention, please?
