When I try to 　40　 surfing with other things, I find it very difficult because, in my ___41_　,there’s nothing like it. It involves body,　42　,and soul. There’s sand between my toes and cool, salt water all 　43　 us. The feeling I get when I’m surfing across that 　44　,becoming one with the 　45　,is like I’m weightless.?

The one thing I can 　46　 from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge. You can never be the “best surfer” because the ocean 　47　 an uncountable variety of waves that nobody can ever master. The variations of surfing styles are wonderful. Some surfers are free and flowing; others are very aggressive and 　48　.All of these things attract me to surfing and make it ?　49　 ? from any other sport.?

I’ve 　50　 to tell every girl I know to do something that people don’t think girls can do. It’s part of being human to advance to new 　51　,so shouldn’t it be expected that girls should step up and start 　52　 the limits of things boys and men used to dominate??

【解析】本文是關(guān)于女孩子參加沖浪運(yùn)動(dòng)而引起的，作者認(rèn)為女性也要多參加男性統(tǒng)治的運(yùn)動(dòng)。

1.B 前后照應(yīng)邏輯推理詞義比較:如果你詢問高中的女生們她們最喜歡的體育運(yùn)動(dòng)的名字，她們不是告訴（tell），給予（give），意識(shí)到（realize），而是回答（answer）你詢問的問題。

2.A 常識(shí)運(yùn)用邏輯推理詞義比較:先看語境：前一句的意思是"但是它難道不是男孩子的事情嗎?（意思是：這是男孩子的事情。）"；后一句的意思是"大多數(shù)人當(dāng)然不……"，由社會(huì)的實(shí)際情況和這兩句的意思可以判斷出，只是有一部分人（不太多）對(duì)此問題（前一句）不理解（understand），不相信（believe），不能作出回答（reply），而納悶、驚奇（wonder），持懷疑態(tài)度，而大多數(shù)人卻肯定地認(rèn)為：沖浪運(yùn)動(dòng)是男孩子的事情。

3.D 固定搭配：fall／be in love with…愛上……，是固定結(jié)構(gòu)，其它選項(xiàng)沒有這種搭配形式。

4.A 常識(shí)運(yùn)用：因?yàn)槲恼率窃谡務(wù)摏_浪運(yùn)動(dòng)，沖上第一個(gè)浪（wave）去是我經(jīng)歷過的最佳感受，而不是暴風(fēng)雨（storm）、航海（sail）或船（boat）。

5.C 固定搭配 詞義比較：作者想把沖浪運(yùn)動(dòng)和其他運(yùn)動(dòng)進(jìn)行比較（compare）。connect with連接，聯(lián)絡(luò)，將……連起來；compare with與……比較；tie up with和……聯(lián)系一起；bring帶來，引起，通常不與with連用。

6.D 邏輯推理 常識(shí)運(yùn)用：作者把沖浪運(yùn)動(dòng)當(dāng)作了它的生活（life）的組成部分，她不僅僅只是在假期（holiday）里沖浪，當(dāng)然工作（work）和學(xué)習(xí)（study）也不能耽誤。in my life是"在我的生活中"。

7.A 常識(shí)運(yùn)用 詞義比較：沖浪運(yùn)動(dòng)涉及到身體，智力、智慧（mind）和心靈、精神諸方面，這三個(gè)方面共同組成人的身心發(fā)展因素。

8.C 常識(shí)運(yùn)用 邏輯推理：在海洋里進(jìn)行沖浪運(yùn)動(dòng)，身體的沿線（along），上面（above），旁邊（by），而且身體的四周（around）都是涼爽的咸水。

9.B 常識(shí)運(yùn)用 邏輯推理：沖浪運(yùn)動(dòng)可能要經(jīng)過沙灘（beach），有可能是在湖（lake）里，但它主要還是腳踏沖浪板（board）在水（water）面上進(jìn)行。

10.D 常識(shí)運(yùn)用邏輯推理：沖浪運(yùn)動(dòng)是在大海、大洋中進(jìn)行的，就有和海洋（ocean）融為一體的感覺。

11.B　動(dòng)詞辨析。這里是指我從沖浪中得到的感覺是無盡的挑戰(zhàn)。

12.C 動(dòng)詞辨析。這里是指大海會(huì)給你數(shù)不清的各種各樣的浪，沒有人能夠真正的掌握，所以你不可能成為最好的沖浪選手。所以才說沖浪給我?guī)砹藷o盡的挑戰(zhàn)。

13.A 形容詞辨析。這里要填的形容詞與aggressive有侵略性是近義詞，故sharp正確。

14.D 固定詞組。Be different from…與…不同；根據(jù)句意可知是指沖浪與其他的運(yùn)動(dòng)項(xiàng)目不一樣。

15.B 動(dòng)詞辨析。這里是指try to do sth努力做某事。我努力的告訴女孩子去做那些別人認(rèn)為她們不能做的事情。

16.A 名詞辨析。A水平；B要點(diǎn)，意義；C步驟；D部分；指人們可以發(fā)展到一個(gè)新的水平之上。

17.C 動(dòng)詞辨析。這里是指女性要努力的推進(jìn)那些男性統(tǒng)治的限制。

18.D 動(dòng)詞辨析。這里是指在總統(tǒng)身邊都有女性在工作，那么為什么在足球隊(duì)里踢球的男孩子身邊就不能有女孩子呢？

19.C 介詞辨析。在球隊(duì)中用介詞on.

20.B 動(dòng)詞辨析。A考慮；B成功；C表演；D感覺；這里指給女孩子成功的機(jī)會(huì)。

⑴ Every language has its own special words and expressions. And a story can be told about each of them. Hot is a simple, easily understood word. So are most of the expressions made with the word hot. But not always, as we shall see.
⑵ The words hot potato, for example, give you no idea at all to the meaning of the expression, hot potato. The potato is popular and many Americans like baked potatoes. Imagine trying to carry a hot potato in your hand. It would be difficult, even painful, to do so. Some publicly argued problems are highly emotional. The problems must be treated carefully, or they will be difficult and painful if an elected official has to deal with them. One such hot potato is taxes. Calling for higher taxes can mean defeat for a politician. And yet, if taxes are not raised, some very popular government programs could be cut. And that also can make a politician very unpopular. The questions must be dealt with carefully, the same way you would handle any other hot potato.
⑶ Another expression is not so hot. If you ask someone how she feels, she may answer “not so hot”. What she means is she does not feel well. Not so hot also is a way of saying you do not really like something. You may tell a friend that the new play you saw last night is not so hot. That means ____________________________.
⑷ A hot shot is a person, often a young person, who thinks he can do anything. He is very sure he can succeed. But often he fails. The expression was born in the military forces. A hot shot was a soldier who fired without aiming carefully.
⑸ Hot is a word that is often used to talk about anger. A person who becomes angry easily is called a hothead. An angry person’s neck often becomes red. We say he is hot under the collar.

They like using the Internet. They have lots of pocket money to spend. And they spend a higher proportion of it online than the rest of us. Teenagers are just the sort of people an online seller is interested in, and the things they want to buy----games, CDs and clothing----are easily sold on the Web.

But paying online is a tricky business for consumers who are too young to own credit(信用) cards. Most have to use a parent’s card. They want a facility that allows them to spend money.

That may come sooner than they think: new ways to take pocket money into cyber (網(wǎng)絡(luò)的) space are coming out rapidly on both sides of the Atlantic. If successful, these products can stimulate(刺激) online sales.

In general, teenagers spend huge amounts: $153bn (billion) in the US last year and ￡20bn annually in the UK. Most teenagers have access to the Internet at home or at school－88 percent in the US, 69 percent in the UK. According to the Jupiter Research, one in eight of those with Internet access has bought something online－mainly CDs and books.

In most cases, parents pay for these purchases with credit cards, an arrangement that is often unsatisfactory for them and their children. Pressing parents to spend online is less productive than pressing on the high street. They are more likely to ask “Why?” if you ask to spend some money online.

One way to help teenagers change notes and coins into cybercash is through prepaid cards such as InternetCash in the US and Smart cards in the UK. Similar to those for pay-as-you-go mobile telephones, they are sold in amounts such as￡20 or $50 with a hidden 14-digit number that can be used to load the cash into an online account.

1.What does the word “They” in paragraph 1 refer to?

A．Sellers.           B．Buyers.           C．Teenagers.         D．Parents.

2.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．More than half of the teenagers in the US and the UK have Internet access.

B．Teenagers pay for goods online with their own credit cards.

C．Most teenagers in the US and the UK have bought something online.

D．Teenagers found it easier to persuade parents to buy online than in a shop.

3.A new way to help teenagers shop online is to use ______.

A．a(chǎn) new machine     B．prepaid cards      C．special coins and notes    D．pay-as-you-go mobile phones

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A．Online shopping traps.                   B．Internet users in the US and the UK.

C．New credit cards for parents.              D．The arrival of cyber pocket money.

科目：高中英語 來源：2010-2011學(xué)年貴州省五校高三第五次聯(lián)考英語題 題型：閱讀理解

If you ask Americans whether or not they think their former president George W. Bush is smart, most of them will probably tell you they don’t think so. However, Bush’s IQ score is estimated to be above 120, which puts him in the top ten percent of the population.

It doesn’t seem to make sense. How come someone with such an IQ score is not considered smart? Researchers say: IQ does not tell the whole story. Some people have high IQ scores, but still they can be poor thinkers and decision-makers.

Keith Stanovich, a Canadian professor of human development and applied psychology, has been looking into the “clever fools” phenomenon for 15 years. He says IQ tests are very good at measuring certain mental faculties(能力), including logic, learning ability, working-memory capacity (how much information you can hold in mind), etc. Those faculties play a part in one’s academic success, but rational thinking is more important for us to make good judgments in real-life situations.

IQ tests fail to work when it comes to rational thinking. That’s because they are unable to assess things such as a person’s ability to weigh up information, or whether an individual can set aside the cognitive biases(認(rèn)知偏差)that may be misleading.

“A high IQ is like height in a basketball player,” says David Perkins, who studies thinking and reasoning skills at Harvard University. “It is very important, all other things being equal. But all other things aren’t equal. It takes a lot more to be a good basketball player than being tall, and it takes a lot more to be a good thinker than having a high IQ.”

1.According to the text your academic success depends on your __________.

A．logic

B．mental faculties

C．learning ability

D．working-memory capacity

2.If you need to decide where to invest your money, you must use your ______________

A．IQ scores

B．IQ test

C．rational thinking

D．cognitive biases

3.We know from the text that ____________

A．the former president George W. Bush has a high IQ score

B．many Americans think their former president George W. Bush is smart

C．David Perkins believe that a person’s IQ doesn’t need to be developed

D．Keith Stanovich looked into the “clever fools” phenomenon 5 years ago

4.What is the text mainly about?

A．Those who have high IQ do better than those who don’t in everything.

B．People with high IQ scores must be good decision-makers

C．People with high IQ scores are always smart in every way.

D．Why a high IQ doesn’t mean you’re smart

科目：高中英語 來源：2010年福建省高一下學(xué)期第一次月考 題型：閱讀理解

 

To what degree can a computer achieve intelligence (智力)? The answer to this question may lie in a newly-developed US computer program called Smarter Child and the Internet．

If you ran into Smarter Child online , you would be surprised at this kid’s huge memory．It can recite many facts． For example , Smarter Child knows every baseball player in every team this season．

He knows every word in the dictionary and the weather in every major city areas across the US．However , if you ask Smarter Child other questions , you get stranger answers．A question about Smarter Child’s age returns． “One year, 11 days, 16 hours, 7 minutes, and 47 seconds!” Asking where he lives gets , “In a clean room in a high-tech building in California．”

Smarter Child uses the vast information on the World Wide Web as his memory bank．To answer questions about spelling , for instance , Smarter Child goes to American Heritage Dictionary online．For the weather , he visits www．intellicast．com．

Some scientists believe that by joining the many systems of the Internet , an artificial being with the combined knowledge of , say , Albert Einstein, Richard Nixon and Britney Spears could be born．However if Smarter Child wants to think and learn on his own like the boy-computer David in the movie A．I．, Artificial Intelligence , he must overcome two problems．

The first is that computers find it difficult to read web pages because the files are labeled in different ways．That’s why programmers need to tell Smarter Child where to look for the weather．It would be a much more difficult task to let him find it himself．

Another problem is that while Smarter Child can process (處理) information more exactly and faster than any human , he lacks common sense—a basic grounding of knowledge that is obvious to any young child．

67．From the text we can infer that www．intellicast．com is a website___________．

         A．which is specially designed to help Smarter Child

         B．where we people can find Smarter Child

         C．where weather forecasts are made

         D．which is about artificial intelligence

68．It is probably most difficult for Smarter Child to_______．

         A．tell us how to spell a difficult word

         B．tell us how the American government is run

         C．provide us with a famous poem by Shakespeare

         D．learn how to tell right behaviors from wrong ones。

69．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

         A．Smart Child has his own memory bank big enough for all kinds of information．

         B．A．I．Artificial Intelligence is probably the name of a film about a boy-computer．

         C．Smart Child can recognize different files and find information needed on his own．

         D．We have similar product now which has the knowledge of Einstein , Nixon and Spears．

70．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

         A．A New Web Child          B．Smarter Child

         C．The Future of Internet      D．Intelligence Development
