科目:高中英语 来源:2010届广东省广州市增城区高三调研综合测试英语试题 题型:阅读理解

       File-sharing occurs whenever one individual sends a file to another. The only way to even try to limit this process is to monitor all communication between ordinary people. Despite the crackdown on Napster, Kazaa and other peer-to-peer(对等网络) services over the past decade, the volume of file-sharing has grown exponentially. Even if the authorities closed down all other possibilities, people could still send copyrighted files as attachments to e-mails or through private networks. If people start doing that, should we give the government the right to monitor all mail and all encrypted(加密) networks? Whenever there are ways of communicating in private, they will be used to share copyrighted material. If you want to stop people doing this, you must remove the right to communicate in private. There is no other option. Society has to make a choice.
The world is at a crossroads. The internet and new information technologies are so powerful that no matter what we do, society will change. But the direction has not been decided.
The internet it still in its infancy, but already we see fantastic things appearing as if by magic. Take Linux, the free computer operating system, or Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. But where technology opens up new possibilities, our intellectual property laws do their best to restrict them. Linux is held back by patents, the rest of the examples by copyright. The public increasingly recognizes the need for reform.
Our manifesto(声明) is to reform copyright laws and gradually abolish(废除) the patent system. We oppose mass surveillance (监视)and censorship(审查制度) on the net, as in the rest of society. We intend to devote all our time and energy to protecting the basal civil liberties on the net and elsewhere.
Political decisions taken over the next five years are likely to set the course we take into the information society, and will affect the lives of millions for many years into the future. The information revolution is happening here and now. It is up to us to decide what future we want.
41. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Over the past decade, the volume of file-sharing has increased doubly.
B. Over the past decade, other peer-to-peer(对等网络) services have been beaten down.
C. Copyright laws should be reformed.
D. File-sharing occurs unless a file is sent on the Internet.
42. In the opinion of the writer, the government ________.
A. has to make a choice
B. should stop people sharing the copyrighted files
C. shouldn't stop people sharing the copyrighted files
D. should monitor all the mail and all encrypted (加密) networks
43. The author's main purpose in writing the passage is____________.
A. to have the basal citizen's freedom on the net and elsewhere
B. to establish the patent system
C. to abolish copyright laws
D. to reform computer operating system
44. The underlined word “restrict” in Paragraph 3 most probably means__________.
A. remove           B. limit               C. close                D. reform
45. We can infer from the passage_______________.
A. A new information revolution will be coming.
B. People won't share copyrighted material on the net
C. People can share the free encyclopedia
D. The future of the Internet will rely on the government

Chinese writer Mo Yan’s Nobel Prize for Literature might ignite an explosion of global interest in Chinese literature and lead to more titles translated into English, European experts say.

 “Hopefully, the award means more people will read Chinese literature and more works will get translated,” says Michel Hockx, professor of the Languages and Cultures of China and Inner Asia from University of London. “Many very good Chinese writers have been accepted globally for a long time already. Mo Yan is probably the most translated Chinese writer alive, with at least five of his novels made available in English over the past 20 years.”

Jonathan Ruppin, web editor of bookseller Foyles, says Mo’s win coincides with growing interest in Chinese literature and recognizes the talents of a distinctive and visionary(富于幻想的)writer. “We are very excited by the fact that English translations of more of his books should now become available,” Ruppin says. He made the comment after Mo became the first Chinese citizen to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in its century-long history.

As East-West cultural exchange has been booming, Chinese literature has been attracting growing attention in recent years. Hockx explains, “It’s mainly because there are many more opportunities for Chinese writers to visit other countries, to publish their works outside China and to interact with readers abroad. At the same time, more and more people globally are learning Chinese and taking an interest in the Chinese language and culture.”

University of Oxford lecturer in modern Chinese literature Margaret Hillenbrand says, “The obvious reason for the growing global presence of Chinese literature is the growing global presence of China itself. People have come to realize that there is a serious knowledge deficit (缺少)between China and its international counterparts — in particular, China knows incomparably(无比地)more about Europe and America than the other way round — and reading Chinese literature is an effective, simple means of solving that gap.”

1.The underlined word “ignite” in Paragraph 1 probably means  “________”.

A. start out      B. burn up      C. set off        D. appeal to

2.Chinese literature has been attracting growing attention mainly because ________.

A. Chinese writers have been writing more and more books in English

B. the Chinese language has become the most widely used language in the world

C. the Chinese government attaches great importance to literature

D. the cultural communication between China and western countries has developed

3. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Chinese literature has spread with the development of China.

B. The Nobel Prize for Literature has a history of hundreds of years.

C. In the past, no Chinese writers were accepted outside China.

D. Foreigners know about China mainly by reading Mo Yan’s works.

4.How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?

A. China knows more about Europe and America than before.

B. China knows more about Europe and America than they know about China.

C. China, Europe and America know one another more than before.

D. Compared with America, China knows more about Europe.

During the last twenty years there has been increasing concern with the quality of the environment. Along with air and water pollutions, noises pollution has been recognized as a serious pollutant. As noise levels have risen, the effects of noise have become more apparent.

Noise is defined as "unwanted sound". Causes of noise pollution include traffic, aircraft, rock bands, barking dogs, televisions, garbage trucks, and noise from neighbors, voices, alarms, and watercrafts. Studies show that over forty percent of Americans are disturbed at home or lose sleep because of noise pollution.

    Noise has bad effects on people and the environment. Noise causes hearing loss, interferes (妨碍) with human activities at home and work, and is in various ways dangerous to people's health and well being.

    When we think, talk, listen to music, or sleep, we need quiet. Even low levels of noise can be annoying or frustrating. Sudden increases in volume can make sounds annoying. The quieter the background is, the more penetrating a noise can be.

    Noise can also make instructions or warning unclear, resulting in accidents. Louder noise bursts can be more disruptive (破坏性).Continued stress can lead to high blood pressure, which is the major cause of some diseases.

Long exposure to noise levels above eight-five decibels (分贝) can damage inner cells and lead to hearing loss. Noise can result in the involuntary fear response and can cause adrenaline (肾上腺素) to be pumped into the bloodstream, the heart rate to quicken, muscles to tense, breathing to increase, and the digestive system to slow down.

    Local government has the responsibility to fight noise pollution. For example, it can regulate the speed of trains through their community. On the other hand, a responsible citizen will never make noise pollution wherever he is.

1. How many kinds of environmental pollution are mentioned in the text?  

A. Two                  B. Three             C. Four            D. Five

2.According to the text, noise pollution may be caused by         .  

A. parties and meetings                      B. zoos and theaters

C. schools and factories                     D. vehicles and animals

3.What does the underlined word "penetrating" in paragraph 4 mean?  

A. High and exciting                         B. Sharp and shocking

C. Loud and unpleasant                       D. Clear and comfortable

4.In the last paragraph, the writer suggests that         .  

A. individuals and government should work together to reduce noise pollution

B. the government should offer it's people better education on noise pollution

C. the government should be responsible for noise pollution

D. people who make noise pollution should be punished

5.Which of the following is not related to noise pollution?  

A. hearing loss                              B. speeding the digestive system

C. high blood pressure                      D. accidents

第一节     阅读理解(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Until late in the 20th century, most Americans spent time with people of different generations.Now middle-aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves.

    That’s because we group people by age.We put our three-year-olds together in day-care centers, our 13-year-olds in schools and sports activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior-citizen homes.Why?

  We live away from the old for many reasons.Young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears of aging and dying.It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes.Sometimes it’s so hard that we stay away from the people who need us the most.

  Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old.And we have discovered that they often save the young.

  A reporter moved her family onto a block filled with old people.At first her children were disappointed.But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbors and had her children deliver it and visit.Soon the children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects.“My children have never been less lonely,” the reporter said.

  The young, in turn, save the old.Once I was in a rest home when a visitor showed up with a baby, she was immediately surrounded.People who hadn’t gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair.Even those who had seemed asleep woke up to watch the child.Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.

  Grandparents are a special case.They give their grandchildren a feeling of security(安全) and continuity.As my husband put it, “My grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end.” Grandchildren speak of attention they don’t get from worried parents.“My parents were always telling me to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down,” one friend said.A teacher told me she can tell which pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter, calmer and more trusting.

41.Now in an American family, people can find that _____.

  A.children never live with their parents

  B.not all working people live with their parents

  C.aged people are supported by their grandchildren

  D.grandchildren are supported by their grandparents

42.What may be the reason why old people are left alone?

  A.The old don’t like to live in a big family

  B.The young can’t get enough money to support the old

  C.Different generations have different lifestyles

  D.The old are too weak to live with the young

43.The fact the reporter told us shows that _____.

  A.old people in America lead a hard life

  B.old people in America enjoy banana bread

  C.she had no time to take care of her children

  D.old people are easy to get along with

44.Seeing a baby, the old people got excited because _____.

  A.they had never seen a baby before

  B.the baby was clever and beautiful

  C.the baby brought them the image of life

  D.the baby’s mother would take care of them

45.Why are some children quieter,calmer and more trusting?

         A.Because they have relationships with their grandparents

         B.Because their worried parents ask them to act like that

         C.Because they have nothing to worry about

         D.Because their teachers ask them to act like that
