tell
[听力原文] 11-15 (11)If people can't tell all kinds of colors, we can say they are color-blind. (12)Most color-blind people can see yellow and blue, but cannot tell red from green. (14)Very few people are blind to all kinds of colors, (13)but they may see black and white. It's interesting that many color-blind people don't think they are color-blind. (15)Well, the reason is that they don't know that they can't see or name the real colors. This can be dangerous when a color-blind person is passing the traffic lights. Some people are born color-blind. And though doctors have tested many times on the reason for color-blindness, there is still no good reason for it at all. So there is still no way to cure the color-blindness. 11. What kind of person is a color-blind person?
5. Why is it dangerous for a color-blind person to pass the traffic lights? Because they don't know they can not ________________________the real colors.

Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension Directions:This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Directions:After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 35 to 39. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool?Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live?These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear. We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle(肌肉). It needs exercise. Mental(done with the mind)exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家)think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent. Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive(helpful)things to their children, such as“That was a very clever thing you did. ” or “You are such a smart child. ”
1. What does the word “intelligent” (Line 1, Para. 1)mean?
A.Great.
B.Handsome.
C.Clever.
D.Busy.
A B C D
C
[解析] 词汇猜测题。第一段提到What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein…在这儿句话中我们看到有“天才”“爱因斯坦”等词, 根据上下文的意思我们不难推断出intelligent意为“聪明的”, 故选C。
2. According to the author, what is particularly important for young children?
A.Born with a good mind.
B.Body exercise.
C.Mental exercise.
D.Muscle.
A B C D
C
[解析] 细节题。根据第二段第四句Mental(done with the mind)exercise is particularly important for young children. 可知, 后天思维的锻炼是很重要的, 故选C。
3. A child ______ is more likely to grow up bright and intelligent.
A.to praise and encourage their children more often
B.to be hard on their children
C.to leave their children alone with nothing to do
D.to give their children as much help as possible
A B C D
A
[解析] 推理题。根据最后一段最后一句So it is probably better for parents to say very positive(helpful)things to their children, 可知, 父母应该多给予孩子赞扬和鼓励(positive things), 故选A。
5. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?
A.Parents play an important part in their children's growth.
B.The less you use your mind the duller you may become.
C.Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.

[解析] 总结归纳题。通读全文, A、B、D选项的内容我们都能在原文中找到。但C选项与第一段最后一句…or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear. 不符, 故选C。
Directions:This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 40 to 44. When you have an idea of the kind of car you might be buying, take the time to look up road tests. These appear in consumer magazines and in magazines for automobile enthusiasts, and both types are usually available in your library if you're not a subscriber. The consumer magazines generally pay more attention to practical things like roominess, gas mileage, and repair records; the enthusiasts' magazines pay more attention to things like performance and style. You should remember that the enthusiasts' magazines depend on the auto industry for the advertising that keeps them in business and some (not all) will manage to find something nice to say about all cars. So read about several road tests of the car you are thinking of getting. You may want to skip this step because your mind is already made up--maybe you always buy a certain make of car or you like one that a friend has. But check the magazines' road tests anyway; they may change your mind. Note too that Federal law requires manufacturers to make available to prospective purchasers certain items of information. regarding tires, braking, and passing and acceleration ability. This information must be available in the dealer's showroom, and also normally found in the glove box of the vehicle, either in the owner's manual or as a separate document. Thus, you can easily compare the performance figures of various makes and models, to assist you in making your decision.
1. Which of the following statements is correct on the basis of the information in the passage?
A.Federal law requires prospective car buyers to do comparison shopping.
B.Consumer magazines devote more than half their pages to practical advice about cars.
C.A subscription to an automobile enthusiasts' magazine is required of prospective car buyers.
D.Federal law requires that specific car performance information be made available to all purchasers.

Exam-oriented or Quality-oriented
At present there exists side by side two contradictory educational systems: the traditional exam-oriented system and the new quality-oriented one, which leads to a heated nationwide discussion as to which is preferable. The exam-oriented educational pattern is the inevitable (不可避免的) result of the existing exam assessment (评估) system. In order to climb into the "ivory tower" or work for their degrees, students are cramming data and facts only for exams and forget all the information right after the exams. What's worse, when students become interested in testing techniques, they gradually lose their freedom and creativity. As a result, they always bury themselves in multiple choices and never attach importance to practical ability and originality (独创性). In contrast, the quality-oriented educational pattern stresses the creativity of students and their all-round development. Students are not expected to memorize information mechanically and passively as computers. Instead, they are encouraged to do some creative work actively and independently as the programmers of computers. In this pattern, what students aim at is no longer their academic performances, but their practical abilities. No doubt, what the new quality-oriented pattern aims to train and bring up are not merely learners successful in studies, but responsible citizens fit in health, rich in knowledge and competent in their work. Therefore, it's high time we reformed our existing exam assessment system and adopted the new one.
1. Which two educational systems exist at present? The ______ system and the quality-oriented system.
traditional exam-oriented

2. What is the shortcoming of traditional exam-oriented pattern? It made students neglect the ______ and originality.

[解析] 细节题。根据第四段…the new quality-oriented pattern aims to train and bring up are not merely learners successful in studies, but responsible citizens fit in health, rich in knowledge and competent in their work”可知,素质教育要培养有责任感、有知识、有竞争力的学生。
5. What is the author's attitude towards the two educational patterns? The author prefers the ______ system.

4. The study of this coarse will bring you in contact with many issues;some of these will be of more interest to you than others.
A.该课程的学习会使你接触到很多问题,你对其中有些问题的兴趣会更大一些。
B.在该课程的学习中你要就很多问题签订合同,与其他同学相比,这些合同带给你的利益会更多一些。
C.该课程的学习会使你接触到很多问题,与其他同学相比,你对于这些问题可能更感兴趣一些。
D.在该课程的学习中你要就很多问题签订合同,其中有些合同带给你的利益会更多一些。
A B C D
A
[难点分析] 本句是一个由分号分隔的并列句。翻译前半句时需仔细斟酌动词短语“bring... in contact with...”(使……接触到)的意思,将其理解为“就……签定合同”并不妥当,首先“就……签订合同”用英语表达时应使用介词“on”或者“about”,“with”不能表达“就……,关于……”之义。其次,签订合同与日常的学习似乎关系不大。后半句中要了解“be+ of+名词”这个特定结构的含义。该结构表达的含义与“be+同一名词的形容词形式”的意思相同,换言之,“be of more interest”就等于“be more interesting”。另外,后半句中的“these”和“others”分别指代“these issues”和“other issues”。基于以上分析可以看出,选项A与原意最为贴近。选项C稍逊,其问题在于将被比较的对象误认为是“你”和“同学”,而不是“有些问题”和“其他问题”。选项D的错误有两处,一处是将“contact”误译为“合同”,另一处是将“interest”误译为“利益”。选项 B集合/C、D两项的错误,最不可取。
5. Researchers found that the more carrots people ate, the lower their odds of developing lung cancer.

C.研究人员找到了那些喜欢吃胡萝卜的人,但发现他们都得了肺病。
D.研究者们发现人们吃胡萝卜越多,得肺病的几率越低。
A B C D
B
[译文] 研究人员发现人们吃胡萝卜越多,得肺癌的可能性越低。 [解析] 此句为一个包含宾语从句的复合句。宾语从句是由一个句子来充当复合句中的宾语。此外,句型“the more... the more...”应译为“越……越……”。

高中生……
注意:1.词数100左右; 2.开头已为你写好。 Dear friends, Here are my points.____________.
Dear friends, Here are my points. We students of today have to pay much attention to our lessons and know little of society though it's not our fault. A holiday is the best time to make up for that. Taking a part job is a good form of social practice. What is learned in books can't have the same deep effect on us as what is learned through experience practice. In social practice, we can surely make progress in both knowledge and ability. Besides, taking a part-time job, we may get paid more or less to help our family. Thus, I will say a senior school student should take a part-time job in holidays, if possible, of course.
