    ----- An explosion at a coal mine of Panzhihua killed at least 43 workers and left another 3 missing.

    -------Yes,_______ news came as _______ shock to us all.

    A. the; the      B. / ; /       C. / ; a         D. the; a

     

    【答案】

    D

    【解析】

    试题分析：考查定冠词与不定冠词的用法区别。上文一个人提到：攀枝花一煤矿爆炸造成43人死亡，3人失踪。下文另一人对上文所说肯定，所以这里的news是特指上文的消息，需特指，用“the”； 这一消息对我们是一次震惊，泛指，故用不定冠词“a”。一些抽象名词如果指具体某件事时是可数的，例如：surprise,表示惊讶，是不可数名词，而表示一件惊讶的事或一个惊讶的人时是可数名词，可以在其前加a/an, 故D正确。

    考点：考查定冠词与不定冠词的用法区别。

    （2010??江苏模拟）

    I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.

    I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.

    So here’s what I wanted to tell you today：Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion, the bigger pay-check…

    Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.

    It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, and something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.

    I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.

    By telling them this：Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.

    It can be inferred from the passage that_____.

       A. the author is a success in personal life

       B. the author didn’t try her best to work well

       C. the author spent all her time caring for her children

       D. the author likes traveling very much

    How did the author form her view of life?

       A. Through social experience.           B. By learning from her friends  

    C. Through an unfortunate experience     D. From her children and husband.

    By the underlined sentence “ It is so easy to exist instead of to live” in the fifth paragraph, the author really means that people tend to_____.

       A. make a living rather than live a real life

       B. work rather than enjoy life

       C. waste a lot in life

       D. forget the most important lessons in life

    What’s the author’s attitude towards work?

       A. Do it well to serve others.

       B. Earn enough money to make life better.

       C. Try your best to get higher position and pay.

       D. Don’t let it affect your real life.

    In Greek mythology(神话), fire is a gift form God, stolen from Zeus(宙斯) by Prometheus and handed over to humans suffering from cold. What could be more natural than sitting around a beautiful fire on a winter night, at a campsite in the Berkshires?

    Hard as it may be to believe, the fireplace—long considered a trophy(奖杯), particularly in a city like New York—is acquiring a social shame. Among those who desire to be environmentally responsible, it is joining the ranks of bottled water and big houses.

    Sally Treadwell, a 51-year-old public relations executive in Boone, N.C., said nothing makes her happier than building a fire on a cold winter night. But most of the time she doesn’t, because she feels too guilty about the damage it may do to the environment. Every time she builds a fire, it causes “inner conflict,” she said. “It’s a guilty pleasure”.

    “The smoke from a fire smells very nice,” said Diane Bailey, a senior scientist with the Natural Resources Defense Council in San Francisco. “But it can cause a lot of harm. The tiny particles(颗粒) can cause illness, and can cross into the bloodstream, causing heart attacks as well as worsening other conditions.”

    Growing concerns about the air pollution and health problems caused by smoke from wood fires are urging a number of areas across the country to pass laws regulating them. Idaho offers a tax cut to people who replace uncertified(不合格的)wood stoves with “greener” ones; San Joaquin County in California forbids selling a home unless its wood stove is replaced with an E.P.A. certified one；and Palo Alto and other governments in California forbid wood-burning fireplaces in new construction.

    Certainly, many think otherwise. In any case, most fireplaces are used far too infrequently to cause any real damage to the environment, said Stephen Sears, the vice president of the Brick Industry Association, voicing an opinion shared by some.

    Perhaps not coincidentally, sales of wood-burning equipment dropped to 235,000 in 2009 from 800,000 in 1999, according to the Brick Industry Association. It also reports that approximately 35,000 fireplaces were installed in the United States in 2009, compared to 80,000 in 2005. Certainly those numbers reflect the economic slowdown, but the may also be affected by growing mixed feelings to wood fries.

    1.We can infer from the 2nd paragraph that ________.

    A. big houses are not considered environmentally friendly

    B. bottle water is a good companion for a fire place

    C. a fireplace is viewed as a sign of success

    D. people in New York are laughed at for their tradition

    2.Sally’s “inner conflict” in the 3rd paragraph resulted from ________.

    A. her love for the fireplace

    B. the damage to the environment

    C. the concern about her health

    D. her mixed emotion fro the fireplace

    3. In terms of the regulations about wood fires we can learn from the passage that_______.

    A. uncertified fireplaces are forbidden in Idaho

    B. some people are against the woodfire controlling regulations 

    C. only energy-efficient wood stoves can be used in the US

    D. all the people support measures taken to control the use of fireplaces

    4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

    A. To urge people to burn less wood

    B. To discuss wood-burning’s impact

    C. To throw light on the causes of the fireplace’s decline

    D. To indicate the cooling love for the fireplace

    Ⅲ. 阅读（共两节，满分40分）

    第一节：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

    阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从41—55各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

    (A)

    We're all connected. You can send an e-mail message to a friend, and your friend can pass it on to one of his or her friends, and that friend can do the same, continuing the chain. Eventually, your message could reach just about anyone in the world, and it might take only five to seven e-mails for the message to get there.

    Scientists recently tested that idea in a study involving 24,000 people. Participants had to try to get a message forwarded to one of 18 randomly chosen people. Each participant started by sending one e-mail to someone they knew. Recipients could then forward the e-mail once to someone they knew, and so on.

    Targets, who were randomly assigned by researchers from Columbia University in New York, lived in 13 countries. They included an Australian police officer, a Norwegian veterinarian, and a college professor.

    Out of 24,000 chains, only 384 reached their goal. The rest petered out, usually because one of the recipients was either too busy to forward the message or thought it was junk mail.

    The links that reached their goal made it in an average of 4.05 e-mails. Based on the lengths of the failed chains, the researchers estimated that two strangers could generally make contact in five to seven e-mails.

    The most successful chains relied on casual acquaintances rather than close friends. That's because your close friends know each other whereas your acquaintances tend to know people you don't know. The phenomenon, known as the strength of weak ties, explains why people tend to get jobs through people they know casually but aren't that close to.

    So, start networking and instant messaging now. As they say in show business: It's all about who you know.

    41. If you want to get into touch with a stranger in the world, how many e-mails might it take for the message to reach him/her?

    A. 5 to 7

    B. 18

    C. 13

    D. 384

    42. Which of the following is Not true about the test?

    A. 24,000 people took part in the study and sent e-mails to people they knew.

    B. The 18 targets were chosen by chance.

    C. About 98.4% of the mails didn’t reach their goal because some people were too busy or they mistook the message for junk mail.

    D. The targets come from 13 countries, such as Australia, Norway and New York.

    43. What does the word “estimate” mean in the passage?

    A. make sure

    B. suppose

    C. think over

    D. imagine

    44. Why do people tend to get jobs more easily through casual acquaintances than close friends?

    A. Because close friends don’t talk with each other so much.

    B. Because casual acquaintances can help you know more people and make more friends.

    C. Because close friends don’t spend so much time gathering together.

    D. Because casual acquaintances are kinder and more willing to help others.

    45. In which part of a newspaper will readers read this passage?

    A. Culture

    B. Entertainment

    C. Information and Technology

    D. Health
