26、阅读理解

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

Four million children are caught up in the war in Syria. Thirteen-year-old Rabia is one of them. Tall and thin, she sits shaking in a yellow T-shirt at the Al Marj settlement, close to the Lebanese-Syrian border.

Home for Rabia was once a two-story house near Damascus. Now it is a tent shared with her nine family members.

Rabia’s face is covered with dirt, and she is tired and cold. She has just finished work, picking up potatoes that fell from a truck. Her typical day starts at 4 a.m., and she works a double shift that lasts about 16 hours, putting potatoes into bags. The only choice for her is that she can choose the first eight hours or the second eight hours. For this, she gets paid about $8 a day.

Working means Rabia misses school. Back in her village, she was the best in her class and good at everything. Her favorite subjects were Arabic literature and math. But, like many children now living in the settlements — there are no official refugee（难民）camps in Lebanon — that was Rabia’s old life. Life before war, before her family moved five times to escape the bombs, before leaving behind her bedroom, her toys and her friends without packing a bag, before “half the people I know” were dead.

The old life was full of laughter with her sister, Wala. But Wala, 14, got married two days ago to an 18-year-old Lebanese. Rabia is happy for her sister. Life in the settlement is tough — the children have nowhere to play, the bathing is poor and sexual abuse is out of control. You can’t blame parents — often confused, illiterate and poor — who want to marry off their daughters. They fear for their safety.

Increasing numbers of Rabia’s girlfriends are getting married. Once in rural Syria, a girl got married at 16. According to UNICEF, the age is now dropping to 12 or 13. It is no secret that Lebanese men want to marry Syrian refugee girls, who work hard and don’t ask for anything.

【1】 Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?

A. A news report. B. A book review.

C. A history book. D. A travel magazine.

【2】The underlined word “shift” in Para. 3 probably refers to ______.

A. the extra task    B. the low pay

C. the potato factory.  D. the working period

【3】The writer's purpose for writing Para. 4 is to ______.

A. present the dream of Rabia

B. show the damage of the war

C. predict the future of Syrian girls

D. compare the life before war and now

27、People tend to connect to their cultural or ethnic group through similar food patterns. Immigrants often use food as a means of maintaining their cultural identity. People from different cultural backgrounds eat different foods. The ingredients, methods of preparation, preservation techniques (技巧), and types of food eaten at different mealtimes vary among cultures. The areas in which families live and where their ancestors originated influence food likes and dislikes. These food preferences result in patterns of food choices within a cultural or regional group.

Nations or countries are frequently associated with certain foods. For example, many people associate Italy with pizza and pasta (意大利面食). Yet Italians eat many other foods, and types of pasta dishes vary throughout Italy. Methods of preparation and types of food in a nation vary by region. Some families in the United States prefer to eat “meat and potatoes,” but “meat and potatoes” are not eaten on a regular basis, nor even preferred, by many in the United States and would not be labeled a national cuisine.

Regional food habits do exist, but they also change over time. As people immigrate, food practices and preferences are imported and exported. Families move to other locations, bringing their food preferences with them. They may use their old recipes with new ingredients, or experiment with new recipes. In addition, food itself is imported from other countries. Approximately (大约) 80 percent of Samoa’s food requirements are imported from the United States, New Zealand, or Australia. Because people and food are mobile, attempts to characterize a country or people by what they eat are often inaccurate.

Even the role of conversation during mealtime varies from place to place. Many families believe that mealtime is a good time to catch up on the lives of family and friends. Among other families, conversation during a meal is acceptable, but the topics of conversation are limited. In some Southeast Asian countries, it is considered polite to limit conversation during a meal.

Food traditions vary widely throughout the world. However, in most parts of the world, food is associated with hospitality (好客) and expression of friendship. Therefore, sensitivity to food rules and customs is important in building and strengthening cross-cultural relationships.

【1】What can be learned about Italians’ eating habits?

A．They differ from region to region.

B．They center on meat and potatoes.

C．They mainly consist of pizza and pasta.

D．They are similar to American eating habits.

【2】What is the author trying to reveal with the example of Samoa?

A．People are forming new food preferences.

B．People can’t be simply defined by their food.

C．People don’t have the same food requirements.

D．People are developing a liking for international food.

【3】What does the underlined part “catch up on” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．Learn about.

B．Make up for.

C．Continue with.

D．Make a difference to.

【4】What advice is given in the last paragraph?

A．Expression of friendship should be appropriate.

B．Awareness of food cultures should be developed.

C．Cross-cultural relationships should be built continually.

D．Food traditions should be passed on from generation to generation.

28、Will there be a time in our lives when cars don’t crash? When we can just sit back and relax and our cars will drive themselves. Auto technology experts say “yes”. And they say that some of those advances may happen quicker than you might think.

They will require the users to input the name of the destination or the complete address of the location that they want to go and the cars’ artificial intelligence takes them there automatically without a driver. They will run on solar power in the daytime and ethanol fuel (乙醇燃料) at night. Toyota, BMW and Honda will completely control the trade of driverless car business together and will have the cheapest driverless cars. Fossil fuels will be completely incompatible (不相配的) with these cars.

Driverless cars will not require a driver’s license of any grade to operate. Anyone with basic literacy and computer skills who are at least 16 years of age will be legally allowed to operate the vehicle with absolutely no limits.This would give the young users permission to operate the driverless cars on major highways as well as secondary roads without needing a separate classification. In addition to all this, drunken people will be able to use their own automobiles to return home because they are not “driving”, the vehicle.

What’s more, car insurance will become obsolete(淘汰的) because there will be no more automobile accidents after the year 2025. This is because the driverless car will have all safety methods in place by the car’s artificial intelligence to prevent automobile accidents. Global positioning systems will become mandatory (强制的) in all newly-produced cars after 2010, and will be the most important part in the driverless car.

【1】【1】Who will not be able to use driverless cars?

A. Adults with basic literacy and computer skills.

B. Adults who are drunk.

C. Adults without a driver’s license.

D. Adults without computer skills.

【2】【2】We can infer from the second paragraph that driverless cars.

A. will need fewer fossil fuels

B. will not need a human’s instructions

C. will run on solar power only

D. will be environmentally friendly

【3】【3】What will prevent the driverless car from crashing?

A. The people inside.

B. Global positioning systems.

C. Artificial intelligence.

D. Car insurance.

【4】【4】Which of the following may be the best title of the passage?

A. Car safety.

B. Driverless cars.

C. The future cars.

D. New technology in cars.

29、Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms. Its influence on brain is much deeper than any other human experience. Keep on reading to know all those amazing power of music.

A recent study suggests that preterm (早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music. Experts led by Dr. Manoj Kumar of the University of Alberta, Canada, found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests. It also appeared to benefit full-term babies during operations.

Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems. Music can help recover from brain injuries. As a different and effective treatment, doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the brain responsible for these two functions. When people with neurological (神经的) disorders hear a musical beat, it helps them to regain a balanced walk.

Though music cannot make deafness disappear, it really can stave off the loss of hearing. There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians. Participants were asked to pass some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians, and this difference gets clearer with age. This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician, even in a noisy environment.

Besides, music mends a broken heart. It is not about a thrown-away love, but about a heart attack. The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heartbeat rate,and reducing anxiety. Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood, and expands blood vessels, thus, promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular(心血管的) system.

【1】How does music affect preterm babies?

A．It helps reduce their pain.

B．It helps develop their potential in music.

C．It helps improve their hearing systems.

D．It helps repair their neurological systems.

【2】What does the underlined phrase “stave off” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．Cause.

B．Prevent.

C．Predict.

D．Increase.

【3】Why can music mend a broken heart?

A．It can help patients recover in a slow way.

B．It helps make a person feel optimistic about life..

C．It can help people prevent diseases caused by anxiety

D．It has a positive effect on human body systems’ work.

【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．Who can benefit from music?

B．When should we listen to music best?

C．How does music affect our mind and body?

D．How can we choose music good for our healthy?

31、课文填空

New ideas and values gradually replaced old ones from the Middle Ages. As a result, painters concentrated less on religious themes. They began to adopt a more 【1】attitude to life. An important breakthrough during this period was the use of【2】by Masaccio (1401-1428).【3】painters such as Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), Michelangelo (1475-1564), and Raphael (1483-1520) built upon Giotto and Masaccio’s innovations to produce some of the greatest art that Europe had ever seen.

In subject matter, the 【4】increasingly shifted from religious themes to people and the world around us. Kings, nobles, and people of high rank wanted to purchase【5】pictures of themselves and the people they loved. Others wanted paintings showing important【6】events or stories from mythology. Finally, most clients wanted paintings that were beautiful and interesting to look at.
