         Throughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists.No matter
    what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change-to find poetry
     where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.
         Landscape (风景) is another unchanging element of art.It can be found from ancient times through the
    17thcentury Dutch painters to the 19thcentury romanticists and impressionists.In the 1970s Alfred Leslie,
    one of the new American realists, continued this practice.Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before.Unlike Cole
    who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually
    sees.In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the
    highway in the background.He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography(摄
    影术) to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.
         Besides, all art begs the ageold question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their
    understanding of reality in one form or another.The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects,
    the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the CroMagnon cave people in their naturalistic
    drawings of the animals in the ancient forests.To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for
    artists of all periods.
         Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant.Past or present,
    Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience.Many and different are the
    faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.

    1. The underlined word "poetry" most probably means ________.

    A. an object for artistic creation
    B. a collection of poems
    C. an unusual quality
    D. a natural scene

    2. Leslie's paintings are extraordinary because ________.

    A. they are close in style to works in ancient times
    B. they look like works by 19thcentury painters
    C. they draw attention to common things in life
    D. they depend heavily on color photography

    3. What is the author's opinion of artistic reality?

    A. It will not be found in future works of art.
    B. It does not have a longlasting standard.
    C. It is expressed in a fixed artistic form.
    D. It is lacking in modern works of art.

    4. What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph?

    A. They express people's curiosity about the past.
    B. They make people interested in everyday experience.
    C. They are considered important for variety in form.
    D. They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.

    5. Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?

    A. History of the arts.
    B. Basic questions of the arts.
    C. New developments in the arts.
    D. Use of modern technology in the arts.

         阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词
    数要求)。
        [1] When you get in your car,you reach for it. When you're at work, you take a break to
    have a moment alone with it. When you get into a lift, you play with it.
        [2] Cigarette? Cup of coffee? No, it's the third most addictive thing in modern life:               .
    And experts say it is becoming more difficult for many people to control their longing to bug it
    more tightly than most of their personal relationships.
        [3] The costs are becoming more and more evident,and I don't mean just the monthly bill.
    Dr. Chris Knippers,a counselor at the Betty ford Center in Southern California,reports that the
    overuse of cell phones has become a social problem not much different from other harmful addictions:
    a barrier to one-on-one personal contact,and an escape from reality.
        [4] Sounds extreme,but we've all witnessed the evidence:The person at a restaurant who talks on
    the phone through an entire meal,ignoring his kids around the table；the woman who talks on the
    phone in the car, ignoring her husband；the teen who texts messages all the way home from school,
    avoiding contact with kids all around him.
        [5] Jim Williams,an industrial sociologist based in Massachusetts, notes that cell-phone addiction
    is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf of personal separation. He points to a study by Duke
    University researchers that found one-quarter of Americans say they have no one to discuss their
    most important personal business with. Despite the growing use of phones,e-mail and instant messaging,
    in other words,Williams says studies show that we don't have as many friends as our parents."Just as
    more information has led to less wisdom,more acquaintances via the Internet and cell phones have
    produced fewer friends    ."he says.
    1. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words. (no more than 3 words)
                                                                                        

    2. Which sentence in the text is closest in meaning to the following one?

        the regular payment for the calls and messages.
                                                                                        

    3. What is the purpose of Paragraph 4? (no more than 5 words)

         Thirteen government officials have been punished and a man arrested for presenting false evidence to prove the highly endangered South China tiger existed in the wild.
         The Shaanxi provincial government said Sunday that farmer Zhou Zhenglong had fudged some photographs for the purpose.The government had earlier claimed the photos were real.

         The 54yearold farmer from Zhenping county,who claimed to have photographed the "tiger" with a digital camera on October 3 last year,was arrested for alleged fraud on Saturday,said Bai Shaokang,spokesman for the Shaanxi provincial public security bureau.The provincial forestry department has revoked(取消,收回)his 20,000yuan reward($2,915)too.
         Experts believe the South China tiger is the progenitor of all the living tiger species.
         Its number in the wild had fallen between 30 and 80 by 1996.Now,it is widely believed to have become extinct in the wild.
         Bai said police have seized the old tiger photograph,which Zhou borrowed from a farmer in another village in September to fudge his photos.A tiger paw made of wood,which he used to create pug marks on snow,has been seized too.
         Zhou had insisted that he "risked his life to take the photos of a real tiger".
         Police have found the exact spot where Zhou took the photos.It is in Madaozi forest,15 km from Wencai village in Zhenping,and is 2,000 m above the sea level,Bai said."It is a small area with few tall trees not a suitable habitat for a tiger."
         Police discovered that "trees" near the South China tiger in Zhou'  s photograph were just 0.8 cm in diameter.And calculations showed the "tiger" would have been only 27cm long.

    1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?

    A. A lot of people are involved in presenting evidence to prove the tiger has been extinct.
    B. The local government had accepted the photos and claimed they were real.

    C. 制造  
    D. 计划

    C. The South China tiger is extinct
    D. How did Zhou fudge some photos

         Every kid wishes to be an adult. But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood
    behind. They become "kidults" (kid+adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle-choice among young people
    across Asia. Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many
    adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped
    cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory.
         Other kidults still enjoy children's stories and fairy tales. For example, Bloomsbury even published the
    Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is
    actually reading a children's book!
         "Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, child-like
    emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society," said Lee Sojung, professor of Foreign Studies at
    Hankuk University (韩国外国语大学). He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults
    and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together. He
    may be right.
         Tim Greenhalgh, a professor, explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They value childhood
    because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly
    show their fear of society and adulthood.
    1. We can infer from the article that _____.
    A. Kidults like to have vitamins very much
    B. Kidults miss their childhood so much that they can't give up their toys
    C. Bloomsbury knows some kidults don't want people to know that they are kidults
    D. Some toys are so interesting that even adults like them very much
    2. According to the author, being a kidult is good in some way except that _____.
    A. it can help kidults feel relaxed
    B. it is helpful to solve some social problems
    C. it can make people loyal to one's parents
    D it can improve the relationship between parents and their kids
    3. According to the writer, _____.
    A. our society is very dull
    B. kidults have mental problems
    C. being a kidult is nothing wrong
    D. some people can never grow up

         The two things-snow and mountains-which are needed for a ski area are the two things that cause
    avalanches(雪崩), large mass of snow and ice crushing down the side of a mountain-often called "White
    Death."
        It was the threat of the avalanche and its record as a killer of man in the western mountains that created
    the snow ranger. He first started on avalanche control work in the winter of 193738 at Alta, Utah, in
    Wasatch National Forest.
         This mountain valley was becoming well known to skiers. It was dangerous. In fact, more than 120
    persons had lost their lives in 1936 and another 200 died in 1937 as a result of avalanches before it
    became a major ski area. Thus, development of Alta and other major ski resorts in the west was
    dependent upon controlling the avalanche. The Forest Service set out to do it, and did, with its corps
    (团队)of snow rangers.
         It takes many things to make a snow ranger. The snow ranger must be in excellent physical condition.
    He must be a good skier and a skilled mountain climber. He should have at least a high school education,
    and the more college courses in geology, physics, and related fields he has, the better.
         He studies snow, terrain, wind, and weather. He learns the conditions that produce avalanches. He
    learns to forecast avalanches and to bring them roaring on down the mountainsides to reduce their killing
    strength. The snow ranger learns to do this by using artillery(炮), by blasting with TNT, and by the
    difficult and skillful art of skiing avalanches down.
         The snow ranger, dressed in a green parka which has a bright yellow shoulder patch, means safety
    for people on ski slopes. He pulls the trigger(扳机) on a 75 mm. Recoilless rifle(无后坐力步枪), skis
    waist deep in powder testing snow stability, or talks with the ski area's operator as he goes about his
    work to protect the public from the hazards(危险)of deep snow on steep mountain slopes.

    1. The snow rangers are employees of ________.

    A. the Forest Service  
    B. the Resource Bureau
    C. the Tourist Board  
    D. the Sports Bureau

    2. A snow ranger himself must be ________.

    A. a college graduate  
    B. a physicist
    C. a geologist  
    D. a mountaineer

    3. A snow ranger uses very powerful guns________.

    A. to warn skiers of an approaching avalanche
    B. to signal for help in an emergency
    C. to create an avalanche
    D. to communicate with the ski area's operator

    4. The primary duty of the snow ranger is ________.

    A. to make sure ski area's operators are following safety rules
    B. to predict and control avalanches in mountainous areas
    C. to check skis and repair them
    D. to forecast the weather

    科目：高中英语 来源：0127 模拟题 题型：阅读理解

    阅读理解。
    根据短文内容，从下框的A~F选项中的选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余项。
    A. Heat food thoroughly
    B. Store food properly
    C. Cook food thoroughly
    D. Serve food safely
    E. Prepare food safely
    F. Shop smartly
    1. (     )      
         Prevention food poisoning starts with your trip to the supermarket. Pick up your packaged and canned
    foods first. Buy cans and jars that look perfect. Look for any expiration dates on the labels and never buy
    outdated food. Likewise, check the"use by" or"sell by" date on dairy products such as cottage cheese, cream
    cheese, yogurt, and sour cream and pick the ones that will stay fresh longest in your refrigerator.
    2. (     )
         After shopping, get home as soon as you can. Then put food into the refrigerator or freezer right away.
    Make sure to set the refrigerator temperature to 40℉ and the freezer to 0℉. Check temperatures with a
    thermometer. Place raw meat and seafood in containers in the refrigerator to prevent their juices from dripping
    on other foods. Eggs always go in the refrigerator.
    3. (     )
         Wash hands and surfaces often. Bacteria can be spread throughout the kitchen and get onto cutting boards
    and counter tops. To prevent this, wash hands with soap and hot water before and after handling food, and
    after using the bathroom or handling pets. Wash everything else before and after it touches food. Wash cloths
    before you use them again for anything else.
    4. (     )
         Cook food thoroughly until it is done. For example, cooked red meat looks brown inside. Use a food
    thermometer to check the internal temperature of meat, poultry, casseroles and other food. Use a thermometer
    with a small-diameter stem. Insert the thermometer 1 to 2 inches into the center of the food and wait 30
    seconds to ensure an accurate measurement. Check temperature in several places to be sure the food is evenly
    heated.
    5. (     )
         Use clean containers to store and serve food. When a dish is empty or nearly empty, replace with fresh
    container of food, removing the previous container. Place cold food in containers on some ice. Place the
    container inside a deep pan filled with ice to keep food cold. Once food is thoroughly heated on stove top,
    oven or in microwave oven, keep food hot by using a heat source. Place food in chafing dishes, preheated
    steam tables, warming trays and / or slow cookers.
