题目内容

【题目】The idea of Pygmalion effect is known as “selffulfilling prophecy (预言)”， which 【1】 (base) on a story by Ovid about Pygmalion, a sculptor and prince of Cyprus, 【2】 created an ivory statue of his ideal woman. The statue which he called Galatea was 【3】 beautiful that he immediately fell in love with it. He begged the goddess Aphrodite to breathe life into the statue and make 【4】 (she) his own. Aphrodite granted Pygmalion his wish. 【5】 statue came to life and the couple married and lived happily ever after.

There were a few 【6】 (success) experiments carried based on this, and the most famous is the one on the students of a UK based school. In the study the pupils were rated randomly, 【7】 (range) from excellent to poor in the beginning of the year. These ratings were then handed over to their teachers.

At the end of the year high corelation was found between actual 【8】 (perform) and rating. The reason was that the teachers boosted the excellent rated pupils all the time to perform better and also that they trusted them to do better.

This concept was later used in a movie 【9】 (call) My Fair Lady, where Professor Higgins transformed a flower girl to win the beauty contest. Though this was done 【10】 (win) a bet, Professor Higgins always showed trust in the flower girl to become the duchess.

【2】who

【3】so

【4】her

【5】The

【6】successful

【7】ranging

【8】performance

【9】called

【10】to win

【解析】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了皮格马利翁效应的由来。

考察学生的词汇，语法运用，以及对文章的理解能力。

【1】考查动词的时态和语态。这里要用一般现在时的被动语态作句子的谓语。故用is based。

【2】考查定语从句。先行词是a sculptor and prince，故用who引导定语从句。

【3】考查副词。句意：他称作加勒提阿的雕塑如此美丽以至于他立刻爱上了他。so…that…如此……以致……。故用so。

【4】考查代词。此处要用人称代词her作make的宾语。her指代前文的an ivory statue of his ideal woman。

【5】考查冠词。特指皮格马利翁做出的雕塑，故用定冠词The。

【6】考查词性转换。这里要用形容词作定语，修饰名词experiments。故用successful。

【7】考查非谓语动词。学生被随机定级，从好到差排列。这里用现在分词短语作伴随状语。故用ranging。

【8】考查词性转换。作介词between的宾语且有actual修饰，故用名词形式performance。

【9】考查非谓语动词。called my fair lady是过去分词短语作定语，修饰a movie。故用called。

【10】考查非谓语动词。教授这样做是为了赢一场赌，故用不定式作目的状语。故用to win。

Last Saturday I went to the library as usually. At about noon, I was enjoying my reading near a lake while suddenly I hear someone crying for help. I went up to see what was happened. I was shocking to find a little child struggling in the water in the distance while many peoples were standing by without doing anything. Without any hesitation, I had pushed through the crowd as I took off my coat, but jumped into the water quickly. I managed to reach him and carried him back to safety. To his great relief, the kid was saved.
I am proud what I did. I hope everyone can give a hand when someone else is in need.

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
When I was a kid, I always used to wonder how in the world my father worked outside in the winter without a coat. It could be minus 20 degrees centigrade and there'd be Dad, removing snow, or perhaps chopping(砍) some wood — his coat thrown aside — wearing a shirt, a cap, and a pair of gloves.
“Aren't you cold, Dad?” I'd ask. “No,” Dad would reply. “I'm not cold—working too hard to be cold.”
Many times I wondered whether my father was an extremely tough man, or whether he was foolish.
One time when I was quite young, perhaps five or so, I went ice fishing with Dad. It was a bright, clear day—and bitterly cold.
After we'd been out on the ice for a little while, my feet started getting cold.
“Daddy, my feet are cold.” I said.
“Yeah, it's cold out here today,” he replied.
“Tell you what,” he said. “Walk around. Make some circles in the snow. See how many different patterns you can make. That will get your feet warm.”
I was just a little girl at the time but I remember thinking, “How in the world will walking around in the snow make my feet warm? Dad must be out of mind.”
But he was my father, after all. I made circles in the snow. I made squares. Pretty soon I was having so much fun making patterns in the snow. I forgot about my feet being cold.
Now, all these years later, I know, too, from personal experience how my father was able to take his coat off and work outside in the winter wearing just a shirt, a cap and gloves. Because I do it, too. “Aren't you cold?” my husband asked one winter day. “No,” I replied. “I'm not cold—working too hard to be cold.”
I hope my husband has decided I'm both tough and smart. But I guess quite a bit of the time he thinks I'm foolish.
Wherever Dad is on that great big farm in the sky—I'm sure he can't help but smile whenever I take my coat off while I'm working outside in the winter.

【题目】Most heavy teens’ attempts【1】(lose) don’t work, but a new study shows a big secret of those who do succeed.

They do it more【2】 their own sake rather than to impress their peers or please their parents.

“Most parents have the view that their teens are 【3】(large) influenced by other people’s perceptions of them,” said Chad Jensen, 【4】 psychologist at Brigham Young University. “Our 【5】(finding) suggest that teens have motivations that are more intrinsic. One implication is 【6】 parents should help to focus their teen on healthy behaviours for the sake of being healthy more than for social acceptance.

Jensen and his students at BYU looked in depth at the success stories of 40 formerly overweight teens. On average the participants shed 30 pounds, 【7】(move) them from the obese to the normal weight category. They also maintained their healthier weight for a full year.

Safety in the highway is not totally out of our hands. Here are four ways we can protect ourselves when we travel.
people in small cars are injured more often and more severely than people traveling in large cars. Factories of small cars are strengthening their products' safety, which helps. But the mix of large cars and small cars on the road is the main reason of the problem.
Being thrown into glass and mental cars parts, or being thrown from the car can really hurt or even kill you.
The safety belt's main purpose is to pull you back if your car has a sudden crash with another vehicle or object, or if it rolls over. A belt can reduce the chance of deadly injury by 45% and the chance of serious injury by 50%.
Air bags are important. More than half of all new cars sold have air bags. Air bags provide protection in frontal crashes—the type of crash that kills the most drivers—when they are also wearing safety belts. Most people are demanding air bags in the cars they buy. Effective as they are, they can't take the place of safety belts.
Drunk driving crashes are less likely to happen if you don't drink. Many people have realised that drunk driving can lead to death and injury, prison time and other results. There are movements to strengthen penalties(处罚) for drinking and driving.
A. How to drive safely?
B. You are safer in a large car
C. How to protect ourselves in the highway?
D. Air bags are not installed in all cars.
E. That's why safety belts should be worn.
F. Drunk driving is the most serious problem.
G. But the protection provided by air bags is limited in side or rear crashes.

【题目】Most people realize that fast food isn't the healthiest or besttasting cuisine(菜肴). It is, however, expected to be fast.

Many chains like McDonald's have struggled with slower food delivery in recent years, because there are more items on the menu. But the world's largest restaurant chain, which serves 68 million customers daily in 119 countries, is trying to change that.

For several months, McDonald's has been testing what's called the “justforyou experience”. In 200 U S restaurants (and more than 2，000 across the globe), customers are able to order directly from a selfserve kiosk(售货亭), after which an employee brings the meal directly to the table.

McDonald's chief executive Steve Easterbrook, speaking at a McDonald's in New York's Tribeca neighbourhood on Thursday, said the company has long expected customers to adapt to its business model of ordering at the counter and then waiting to collect their own food. Now, he said, “We're adapting our business around customers.”

It showed that “test runs at more than 500 restaurants…showed an increase in foot traffic and contributed to a midsingledigit percentage increase in restaurant sales, lifting the 5 to 6 average check by 1, on average.” Customer satisfaction scores also increased, “because families, in particular, appreciate having their food brought to them.”The company also announced the beginning of a new mobile orderandpay app, which would allow customers to order and pay for food from their smart phones.

Mike, a common customer, said, “As a father of two small children, I'm every fastfood chain's target customer. My wife and I try to avoid McDonald's when possible, but like many parents we end up going. I've used the selfserve kiosks and like them a lot: they're easy to use, reduce the pressure of making a choice with impatient customers behind you, and make a big difference in delivery time. I just hope they don't start expecting me to tip.”

【1】Why do many chains have a slower food delivery in the past several years?

A. Because they have struggled many expectations.

B. Because they have more dishes to serve people.

C. Because they have the world's largest restaurant chains.

D. Because sometimes they have too many customers.

【2】How do customers get their food after ordering food selfserve kiosks?

A. By testing McDonald's machine.

B. By taking food by themselves.

C. By letting waiters bring food for them.

D. By letting employees serve for them.

【3】What's the result of trying “justforyou experience”？

A. It is a great success.

B. It caused traffic jam.

C. It's well received only by app users.

D. It still needs to be observed.

【4】What can we infer from what Mike said?

A. His family don't like McDonald's.

B. He's willing to give tips for good service.

C. Selfserve kiosks are a good choice.

D. It's hard for him to spend the delivery time.

【题目】In December, after her third fall in a few months, Doris Carpenter was admitted to Rochdale infirmary（养老院）. Carpenter, 84, lives alone, but she is increasingly unsteady on her feet, and if she falls, she hasn’t the strength to get up again. Previously, a call to 111 would call nursing staff who could put her back into a chair, but it was increasingly clear she wasn’t coping, and needed more support.

This isn’t like any old hospital, however. Today Carpenter isn’t in bed but sitting in a chair, dressed in her own clothes, a fat Dan Brown book in front of her. “You don’t feel like you’re in hospital,” she says.

Two side rooms have been furnished with small groups of tables and chairs, with bright tablecloths. Those patients who are able can help themselves to food at mealtimes and sit with others to eat, or go to the library to select another page-turner. A physiotherapist helps Carpenter with her painful back, and is working to help improve her confidence on stairs.

Previously, an elderly person in Carpenter’s condition would most likely have ended up in an acute hospital ward（病房）.

There, very frequently, people of her age would get stuck, and many would go downhill fast.

“They come into hospital, and our model in the NHS is to put them to bed,” says Steve Taylor, the divisional director for community services. “Put your pyjamas on, you stay in that bed, we will feed you and toilet you.”

Shockingly quickly, he says, patients can lose what abilities they previously had. “And then, when it comes time to discharge you, you can no longer walk.”

This is probably the biggest challenge facing the NHS – the problem of an older population, the long years of illness that many of us will face and a fragile social care system underpinning it all.

【1】What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?

A. Carpenter often falls at home.

B. No one looks after Carpenter.

C. There is something wrong with Carpenter’s legs.

D. Carpenter is in such poor condition that she had to go to hospital.

【2】How might Carpenters feel living in the new hospital?

A. Lonely. B. Desperate.

C. Relaxed. D. Curious.

【3】In which section of a newspaper can you find this text?

A. Society. B. Technology.

C. Family. D. Medicine.
