15、ct Alice motherB Nothing could stop Dad. After he was put on disability for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey. And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgins chicken house in exchan

16、ge for manure(肥料). The Smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even

17、sweeter. As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew(燉菜). Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hou

18、r. the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dads pile of chicken manurewas bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out.

19、 Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around it didnt look that bad, and after the first wave had shut

C Across Britain, burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters rush

23、to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers, But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year. Mothers have long known that their home workload was just heavy as paid work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours, th

24、ey would earn as much as172, 000 a year. The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do, as well as the hours they are working, to determine the figure. This would make their yearly income 30, 000 more than the Prime Minister earns. By analysing the numbers, it found the average mother works 119 h

25、ours a week, 40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1, 000 mothers with children under 18, it found that , on most days, mums started their routine work at 7am and finished at around 11pm. To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that l

26、abour, it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. being a part-time lawyer, at $48. 98 an hour, would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum jibs”, with psychologist(心理學(xué)家)a close second. It also asked mother

27、s about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional(情感的) demand as the hardest thing about motherhood. Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends. The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on, Mothers Day

28、. The emotional, physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. Investing(投入)in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent. 38. How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prim

29、e Minister? A. 30, 000. B. 142, 000. C. 172, 000. D. 202, 000. 39. The biggest challenge for most mothers is from . A. emotional demand B. low pay for work C. heavy workload D. lack of training40. What is stressed in the last paragraph? A. Mothers importance shows in family all year long. B. The sac

30、rifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile. C. Mothers devotion to children can hardly be calculated. D. Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return. 41. What can we conclude from the study? A. Mothers working hours should be largely reduced. B. Mothers should balance their time for

31、 work and rest. C. Mothers labour is of a higher value than it is realised. D. Mothers should be freed from housework for social life. DTheir cheery song brightens many a winters day. But robins are in danger of wearing themselves out by singing too much. Robins are singing all night一as well as duri

32、ng the day, British-based researchers say. David Dominoni, of Glasgow University, said that light from street lamps, takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds biological clock, Dr Dominoni, who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns, said lack of sleep could put the

33、 birds health at risk. His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab, it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day. And the more birds are exposed to light, the more active they are at night. He told people at a conference, There have been a couple of stud

34、ies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing. Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy. So by increasing their song output, there might be some costs of energy. And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light

35、. Blackbirds and seagulls are also being more nocturnal. Dr Dominoni said, In Glasgow where I live, gulls are a serious problem. I have people coming to me saying You are the bird expert. Can you help us kill these gulls?. During the breeding(繁殖)season, between April and June, they are very active a

36、t night and very noisy and people cant sleep. Although Dr Dominoni has only studied light pollution, other research concluded that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise. However, some birds thrive(興旺)in noisy environments. A study from C

37、alifornia Polytechnic University found more hummingbirds in areas with heavy industrial machinery. 42. According to Dr Dominonis study, what causes robins to sing so much? A. The breeding season. B. The light in modem C. The dangerous environment. D. The noise from heavy machinery. 43. What is the r

38、esearchers concern over the increase of birds song output? A. The environment might be polluted. B. The birds health might be damaged. C. The industry cost might be increased. D. The peoples hearing might be affected. 44. What does the underlined word nocturnal in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Active at nigh

39、t. B. Inactive at night. C. Active during the day. D. Inactive during the day. 45. Why do some birds thrive in noisy environments? A. Because there are fewer dangers. B. Because there is more food to eat. C. Because there is less light pollution D. Because there are more places to take shelter. ENo

40、one is sure how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids near Cairo. But a new study suggests they used a little rocknroll. Long-ago builders could have attached wooden pole s to the stones and rolled then across the sand, the scientists say. “Technically, I think what theyre proposing is possible,

41、” physicist Daniel Bonn said. People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And theres no obvious answer. On average, each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about

42、 one kilometer away. The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板). Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have lubricated the paths either w

43、ith wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand. Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researchers found small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths. However , physicist Jo

44、seph West think there might have been a simpler way , who led the new study . West said, “I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction. I thought, Why dont they just try rolling the things ? ” A square could be turned into a rough s

45、ort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides, he realized. That, he notes , should make a block of stone “a lot easier to roll than a square”. So he tried it. He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somewhat a w

46、heel. Then they placed the block on the ground. They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled. The researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑的)path

47、. West hasnt tested his idea on larger blocks, but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding. At least, workers wouldnt have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths. 46. Its widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by _. A. rolling them on roads

48、B. pushing them over the sandC. sliding them on smooth paths D. dragging them on some poles47. The underlined part “l(fā)ubricated the paths” in Paragraph 4 means_. A. made the path wet B. made the path hardC. made the path wide D. made the path slippery48. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragrap

49、h 7 refer to?A. Rolling the blocks with poles attached. B. Rolling the blocks on wooden wheels. C. Rolling poles to move the blocks. D. rolling the blocks with fat. 49. Why is rolling better than sliding according to West ? A. Because more force is needed for sliding. B. Because rolling work can be

50、done by fewer cattle. C. Because sliding on smooth road is more dangerous. D. Because less preparation on path is needed for rolling. 50. What is the text mainly about ? A. An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site. B. An application of the method of moving blocks to the pyramid sit

51、e. C. An argument about different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid site. D. An introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks to the pyramid site. 第二節(jié) 根據(jù)對(duì)話內(nèi)容,從對(duì)話后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng),并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)多余選項(xiàng)(共5小題;每小題2分,共10分)A: I need to lose some weight.
