    书面表达

    There was once a farmer who had a fine olive orchard. He was very hardworking, and the farm always prospered(蒸蒸日上) under his care. But he knew that his three sons did not like the farm work, and were eager to reach the goal at a single leap.

    When the farmer felt that his time had come to die, he called the three sons to him and said, “My sons, there is a pot of gold hidden in the olive orchard. Dig for it, if you wish it.” After the farmer was dead, the sons went to work to find the pot of gold.” Since they did not know where the hiding-place was, they agreed to begin in a line, at one end of the orchard, and to dig until one of them should find the money.

    They dug until they had turned up the soil from one end of the orchard to the other, round the tree-roots and between them. But no pot of gold was to be found. It seemed as if someone must have stolen it, or as if the farmer had been wandering in his wits. The three sons were bitterly disappointed to have all their work for nothing. The next olive season, the olive trees in the orchard bore more fruit than they had ever given; when it was sold, it gave the sons a whole pot of gold.

    And when they saw how much money had come from the orchard, they suddenly understood what the wise father had meant when he said, “There is gold hidden in the orchard. Dig for it, if you wish.”

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

    All her life, my mother wanted busy children. It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy.

    You could turn your back for a moment in my mother's house, leave a half?written letter on the dining room table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had “put it back where it belonged” as she explained.

    My wife, on one of her first visits to my mother's house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. When she returned, she found the packet had been removed. Confused (疑惑的), she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits, only to return to find that her drink had disappeared. Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks, so as not to make water rings on the end tables. Now she knows better.

    These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family. We were all inclined to (有……的倾向) forgetfulness, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find that every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly. “Do you remember what I was doing？”was a question frequently asked, but rarely answered.

    Now my_sister_has_developed_a_second?hand_love_of_clean_windows, and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet. I try not to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week.

    1.Which of the following is TRUE about my mother?

    A. She enjoyed removing others' drinks.

    B. She became more and more forgetful.

    C. She preferred to do everything by herself.

    D. She wanted to keep her house in good order.

    2.My wife could not find her biscuits and drink in my mother's house because ________.

    A. she had already finished them

    B. my mother had taken them away

    C. she forgot where she had left them

    D. someone in my family was holding them

    3.The underlined part in the fifth paragraph suggests that my sister ________.

    A. is happy to clean windows

    B. loves to clean used windows

    C. is fond of cleaning used windows

    D. likes cleaning windows as my mother did

    Researchers from France and Italy discovered that Canadian parents are less strict with their children than mothers and fathers in France and Italy.

    “Our most important finding was the difference between Canadians and the others,” said Professor Michel Claes, the lead author of the study. “Canadians focus on independence and negotiation. On the other hand, Italians, for example, exercise more control. We found Canadians seem to focus on negotiation in case of a conflict.”

    Claes said Canada, France and Italy were selected for the study because they share important cultural and social factors. “We chose French?Canadians because they share the same language as France, and originally came from France and share certain values. Italy was included because it was considered to have similar, strong and important family values,” he explained.

    The researchers examined the emotional ties between parents and their children by questioning 1,256 students aged 11 to 19 years old.

    Canadian students reported less control and more free actions, according to the study. Italian parents were stricter and French parents were somewhere in the middle.

    Claes explains that the differences lie in education in Canada, France and Italy.

    “North America has its own educational values, which promote individualization. Tolerance and comprehension are encouraged. Italy, on the other hand, promotes respect of authority, control, and the need for permission.” he said.

    Children from all three countries described their mothers as warm and communicative. Italian and Canadian children had similar feelings about their fathers, and reported high levels of emotional ties. But French fathers were generally thought by their children to be more distant and cold.

    “We were surprised by this,” Claes admitted.“It seems as though the relationships between French mothers and their children were becoming closer over time, while fathers maintain a form of distance and coldness, which is more of a source of conflict in France than in the other countries.”

    1.Professor Michel Claes believes that Canada, France and Italy ________.

    A．have the same family spirit

    B．have some similar cultural traditions

    C．have experienced some similar social changes

    D．have experienced similar cultural developments

    2.How did the researchers carry out the study?

    A．By collecting answers of parents from Canada, France and Italy.

    B．By collecting answers of children from Canada, France and Italy.

    C．By questioning parents and their children from Italian Canadian families.

    D．By questioning children from French?Canadian families.

    3.According to Michel Claes, what mainly leads to the differences in parent?children relationships among Canada, France and Italy?

    A．Educational opportunities.

    B．Traditional ideas.

    C．Educational values.

    D．Historical events.

    4.Which of the following is NOT a finding of the study?

    A．French children have troubled relationships with their parents.

    B．Canadian children have close relationships with their parents.

    C．Italian children have good relationships with their parents.

    D．Kids from Canada, France and Italy have closer ties with their moms.

    When you go to the doctor, you like to come away with a prescription．It makes you feel better to know you will get some medicine．But the doctor knows that medicine is not always needed．Sometimes all a sick person needs is some reassurance that all will be well．In such cases the doctor may prescribe a placebo．

    A placebo is a sugar pill，a harmless shot，or ail empty capsule．Even though they have no medicine in them , these things seem to make people well．The patient thinks it is medicine and begins to get better．How does this happen?

    The study of the placebo opens up new knowledge about the way the human body can heal itself．It is as if there was a doctor in each of us．The doctor will heal the body for us if we let it．But it is not yet known just how the placebo works to heal the body．Some people say it works because the human mind fools itself．These people say that if the mind is fooled into thinking it got medicine，then it will act as if it did，and the body will feel better．

    Placebos do not always work．The success of this treatment seems to rest a lot with the relationship between the patient and the doctor．If the patient has a lot of trust in the doctor and if the doctor really wants to help the patient，then the placebo is more likely to work．So in a way, the doctor is the most powerful placebo of all．

    A placebo can also have bad effects．If patients expect a bad reaction to medicine，then they will also show a bad reaction to the placebo．This would seem to show that a lot of how you react to medicine is in your mind rather than in your body．Some doctors still think that if the placebo can have bad effects it should never be used．They think there is still not enough known about it．

    The strange power of the placebo does seem to suggest that the human mind is stronger than we think it is．There are people who say you can heal your body by using your mind．And the interesting thing is that even people who swear this is not possible have been healed by a placebo．

    1.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

    A．The placebo． B．The bad effect．

    C．The body． D．The medicine．

    2.What do we know about placebo according to the passage?

    A．It contains some sort of medicine．

    B．It won’t function if you are negative about medicine．

    C．People who don’t believe placebo can’t be healed by it．

    D．Patients and doctors know clearly how it helps to heal the body

    3.Why is the doctor sometimes the most powerful placebo?

    A．The patient needs help badly．

    B．The patient believes in the doctor．

    C．The doctor knows better about your body．

    D．The doctor has carefully studied medicine．

    4.What is the best title for the text?

    A．Placebo：Work on Your Mind

    B．Placebo：The Most Powerful Medicin

    C．Placebo：The Best Doctor

    D．Placebo：Heal Your Body

    阅读下列短文 ，从每题所给的四个选项 （A、B、C、和D）中 ，选出最佳选项。

    Could your cellphone give you cancer? Whether it could or not, some people are worrying about the possibility that phones, power lines and wi-fi could be responsible for a range of illnesses, from rashes to brain tumors.

    Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties. David Carpenter, a professor of environmental health sciences at the university at Albany, in New York, thinks there’s a greater than 95 percent chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia (白血病). Also there’s a greater than 90 percent chance that cellphones can cause brain tumors. “It’s apparent now that there’s a real risk,” said Carpenter.

    But others believe these concerns are unjustified. Dr Martha Linet, the head of radiation epidemiology(流行病学) at the US National Cancer Institute, has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion. “I don’t support warning labels for cellphones, ” said Linet. “We don’t have the evidence that there’s much danger.”

    Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs (电磁场) and illness — so weak that it might not exist at all. A multinational investigation of cellphones and brain cancer, in 13 countries outside the US, has been underway for several years. It’s funded in part by the European Union, in part by a cellphone industry group. The final report should come out later this year, but data so far don’t suggest a strong link between cellphone use and cancer risk.

    1.From the passage we can learn that some people are worried because ________.

    A. they have evidence that the use of cellphones can lead to cancer

    B. they make a fuss over cellphone use

    C. some experts have given a warning

    D. cellphones are responsible for brain tumors

    2.By saying “I don’t support warning labels for cellphones,” Dr Martha Linet has the idea that ________.

    A. the worrying is unnecessary

    B. cancer-warning labels should be on cellphones

    C. there is a link between cellphones and cancer

    D. cellphones have nothing to do with cancer

    3.Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards the debate?

    A. Optimistic. B. Objective.

    C. Opposite. D. Casual.

    4.What’s the best title of the passage?

    A. Cellphones: is there a cancer link?

    B. There is a link between cellphone and cancer

    C. A research on the cellphone

    D. The cellphone and radiation epidemiology
