Wouldn't it be great if we didn't have to remember passwords (密码) ever again? If we could just sit

system uses face recognition technology to log you on to Windows, rather than using a 22 . All you
need is a webcam and your pretty face to 23 your PC. No more 24 , confusing passwords to
remember or change every few months.
After doing a little research, I found this type of 25 already available to consumers via a
relatively 26 application called Face Code. The 27 requires the use of a webcam to recognize and
log PC users into their systems. You can add as many 28 as you want, provided they each have a

英语试卷 第 1 页 (共 14 页)the night when I realized that the villagers who had gathered around me were arguing as to 32

Ⅲ阅读(共两节,满分40分)
第—节 阅渎理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读—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。
A
How should one invest a sum of money in these days of inflation (通货膨胀)? Left in a bank it will
hardly keep its value, however high the interest rate. Only a brave man, or a very rich one, dares to buy
and sell on the Stock Market. Today it seems that one of the best ways to protect your savings and
even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past. Here I am going to offer some
advice on collecting antique clocks, which I personally consider are among the most interesting of
antiques.
I sometimes wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life. "The
planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking
sound. It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands. Men can do nothing without its permission,
and it fastens its young round people's wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control.
This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves."
Whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality, but it is believed
that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time. Certain men were very clever at
measuring the time of day according to the beating of their own hearts. They were made to stand in a
fixed place and every hour or so would shout the time. So it seems that the first clocks were human
beings.
英语试卷 第 2 页 (共 14 页)However, men quickly found more convenient and reliable ways of telling the time. They learned to
use the shadows cast by the sun. They marked the hours on candles, used sand in hour-glasses, and
invented water-clocks. Indeed, any serious student of antique should spend as much time as possible
visiting palaces, stately homes and museums to see some of the finest examples of clocks from the
past.
Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is still
possible to find quite cheap ones for your own home. After all, if you are going to be ruled by time, why
not invest in an antique clock and perhaps make a future profit?
41. According to the passage, collecting antique clocks ______.
A can hardly keep the value of your savings B will cost much of your savings
C may increase your wealth D needs your bravery
42. By quoting (引用) the remark of a being from another planet, the author intends to ______.
A. suggest human beings are controlled by a clock
B. describe why clocks can rule the planet Earth
C. tell readers what clocks look like
D. compare clocks to human beings
43. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to measure the time?
A. Counting the beating of one's own heart. B. Making use of candles, sand and water.
C. Observing shadows cast by the sun. D. Keeping slaves busy day and night.
44. The underlined phrase stately homes in paragraph 4 means ______.
A state-owned houses B houses in very good condition
C grand houses open to the public D houses where statesmen meet regularly
45. The purpose of the passage is ______.
A. to introduce the culture of antique clocks
B. to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks
C. to compare different ways to make a future profit
D. to explain convenient and reliable ways of telling time
B
Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect?
The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as "honor" help you create this life of good
feelings.
英语试卷 第 3 页 (共 14 页)Here's an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk's mistake,
we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about
our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be
grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we
might never share with another soul.
Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
In the first case, when we don't tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we
would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-
respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by
telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the
error to the clerk's attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be
honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we
take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable
thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it's easy to
think and act honorably again when we're happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once
it's started, it's easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is
important for our happiness.
46. According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our ______.
A. self-respect B. financial rewards C. advertising ability D. friendly relationship
47. The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to ______.
A. lying B. stealing C. cheating D. advertising
48. The phrase "bringing the error to the clerk's attention" (in para. 5) means ______.
A. telling the truth to the clerk B. offering advice to the clerk
C. asking the clerk to be more attentive D. reminding the clerk of the charged item
49. How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake?
A. We'll be very excited. B. We'll feel unfortunate.
C. We'll have a sense of honor. D. We'll feel sorry for the clerk.
50. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A. How to Live Truthfully B. Importance of Peacefulness
英语试卷 第 4 页 (共 14 页)C. Ways of Gaining Self-respect D. Happiness through Honorable Actions
C
Malaria, the world's most widespread parasitic(寄生虫引起的) disease, kills as many as three million
people every year—almost all of whom are under five, very poor, and African. In most years, more than
five hundred million cases of illness result from the disease, although exact numbers are difficult to
assess because many people don't (or can't) seek care. It is not unusual for a family earning less than
two hundred dollars a year to spend a quarter of its income on malaria treatment, and what they often
get no longer works. In countries like Tanzania, Mozambique, and the Gambia, no family, village,
hospital, or workplace can remain unaffected for long.
Malaria starts suddenly, with violent chills, which are soon followed by an intense fever and, often,
headaches. As the parasites multiply, they take over the entire body. Malaria parasites live by eating the
red blood cells they infect (感染). They can also attach themselves to blood vessels in the brain. If it
doesn't kill you, malaria can happen again and again for years. The disease is passed on to humans by
female mosquitoes infected with one of four species of parasite. Together, the mosquito and the
parasite are the most deadly couple in the history of the earth—and one of the most successful. Malaria
has five thousand genes, and its ability to change rapidly to defend itself and resist new drugs has
made it nearly impossible to control. Studies show that mosquitoes are passing on the virus more
frequently, and there are more outbreaks in cities with large populations. Some of the disease's spread
is due to global warming.
For decades, the first-choice treatment for malaria parasites in Africa has been chloroquine, a
chemical which is very cheap and easy to make. Unfortunately, in most parts of the world, malaria
parasites have become resistant to it. Successful alternatives that help prevent resistance are already
available, but they have been in short supply and are very expensive. If these drugs should fail, nobody
knows what would come next.
51. According to paragraph1, many people don't seek care because ______.
A they are too poor B it is unusual to seek care
C they can remain unaffected for long D there are too many people suffering from the disease
52. People suffering from malaria ______.
A have to kill female mosquitoes B have ability to defend parasites
C have their red blood cells infected D have sudden fever, followed by chills
53. Which of the following may be the reason for the wide spread of the disease?
英语试卷 第 5 页 (共 14 页)A Its resistance to global warming. B Its ability to pass on the virus frequently.
C Its outbreaks in cities with large populations. D Its ability to defend itself and resist new drugs.
54. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A no drugs have been found to treat the disease
B the alternative treatment is not easily available to most people
C malaria has developed its ability to resist parasites
D nobody knows what will be the drug to treat the disease
55. Which of the following questions has NOT been discussed in the passage?
A How can we know one is suffering from malaria?
B How many people are killed by malaria each year?
C Why are there so many people suffering from malaria?
D What has been done to keep people unaffected for long?

Dear Ari,
As you sleep in my arms, I'm amazed at how light you feel. I stare at your tiny body, so fragile that a
英语试卷 第 9 页 (共 14 页)sudden wind could lift you up into the air. I love this feeling of protecting you and dreaming of all I have
in store for you.
I intend to bring you up to be brave and successful in an often difficult society. That's why your
mommy and I have named you Ari, which means "lion". It's our hope that you will grow strong and
eagerly grasp every opportunity to do well for yourself and others.
Before you came into the world, we had spent months imagining what you'd be like. Would you be a
boy or a girl? Would you look like Mommy, Daddy or your elder brothers? Anyway, we would find out
soon.
Finally your mother's labor came. And several hours later, we met the first time. I held you high up in
the air. I then was able to cut your umbilical cord (脐带) and put you in your mother's arms. She still had
enough energy to radiate the love while she pressed you to her face.
And here we are tonight. As I hold you close, you sleep so peacefully. I press my ear to your chest
and hear your strength. I am listening to the first beats of a lion's heart. Welcome to the world, Ari.
Love,
Daddy

savings and even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past. Here I am going to
offer some advice on collecting antique clocks, which I personally consider are among the most
interesting of antiques. ”可判断出收藏古代的钟表可以致富。
42. A 这是一道细节推断题。根据第二段中的“Men can do nothing without its permission,and it
fastens its young people’s wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control. ”可判断出
作者暗示人类使钟表的控制。it指的是钟表。
43. D 这是一道正误判断题。第三段中的“Certain men were very clever at measuring the time of day
according to the beating of their own hearts. ”和第四段中的“They learned to use the shadows cast by
the sun. They marked the hours on candles,used sand in hour-glasses,and invented water-clocks. ”
可判断出人们曾经通过数自己的心跳、使用蜡烛、沙子和水和观察太阳的阴影来计算时间,但没有讲使奴隶
整日整夜地忙碌,所以选项D是错误的。
44. C 这是一道猜义题。根据这句话中的palaces和museums可判断出stately homes指的是向公众开
放的巨大的房子。
45. B 这是一道主旨题。这篇短文的第一段说明收藏古代的钟表可以致富。在最后一段,作者又对收藏古
代的钟表的问题进行了讨论,最后以“After all,if you are going to be ruled by time,why not invest in an
antique clock and perhaps make a future profit?”结束,说明这篇短文的目的是对收藏古代的钟表提供一
些建议。

respect is increased. ”可判断出积极的行为可以增强我们的自尊心。
47. B 这是一道细节题。根据第五段中的“In the first case,when we don’t tell the clerk,a couple of
things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. ”可判断出作者认
为如果对没有付款的东西保持沉默,是一种盗窃行为。
英语试卷 第 12 页 (共 14 页)48. A 这是一道猜义题。根据第五段中的“Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. ”可判断出
bringing the error to the clerk’s attention意思是“告诉售货员真相”。
49. C 这是一道细节推断题。根据第五段中的“Upon leaving the store,we feel honorable and our self-
respect is increased. ”可判断出如果我们让售货员知道了她的错误,我们会有一种诚实的感觉。
50. D 这是一道标题选择题。作者在这篇短文的第一段点明了主题:The collection of happiness actions
broadly categorized as “honor” help you create this life of good feelings. 并在下文中举例说明了这个
主题。所以短文的最好的题目是Happiness through Honorable Actions。
51. A 这是一道推断细节题。根据第一段中的“It is not unusual for a family earning less than two
hundred
dollars a year to spend a quarter of its income on malaria treatment, and what they often get no longer
works. ”可判断出许多人不进行治疗的原因是他们太穷,没有钱治疗疟疾。
52. C这是一道细节题。根据第二段中的“Malaria parasites live by eating the red blood cells they infect.
”可判断出人们患疟疾的原因是他们的红血球受到了感染。
53 D 这是一道细节题。根据第二段中的“Malaria has five thousand genes,and its ability to change
rapidly to defend itself and resist. new drugs has made it nearly impossible to control. ”可判断出疟疾广
泛传染的原因是它有保护自己和抵抗新药的能力。
54. B 这是一道细节推断题。根据最后一段中的 “Successful alternatives that help prevent resistance
are already available,but they have been in short supply and are very expensive. ”可推断出由于新的
治疗疟疾的药物缺乏并且很贵,所以大多数人不能用新的治疗方法治疗。
55. D 这是一道正误判断题。根据短文的内容可判断出短文没有涉及“做什么来使人们长时间不感染?”
56. E 57. B 58. D 59. C 60. A

of the girls choose film and TV stars as their idols, while 48%of the boys favor sports stars. As date
shows, “parents’’ ranks the second for the girls, but the fourth for the boys. However. the percentage of
the boys choosing “great figures’’ is the same as that of the girls. As for myself, Thomas Edison is
my idol, because his inventions have greatly changed our life.
