　　三、阅读理解（A、B、C、D篇每小题2分，任务型阅读每小题2分，共40分）

　　阅读下列短文，从A、B、C、D中选出最佳选项。

　　A

　　Have you ever wondered why some people seem to make new friends so easily, while others find it so hard to make successful relations with new people? There is a big difference between those people who make new friends easily and those who don’t. It is that socially successful people like to make eye contact with the person they are talking with much more often than those who are less socially successful. Many shy people never make eye contact at all. When speaking with others, they are more likely to look down at the ground, or look away. They don’t look at the face of the person they are talking with.

　　If you have been less successful in making friends than you wish, you can try to make this simple change to your behavior. If you don’t like to look directly into another person’s eyes, you can look at the person’s face. If you gaze at the eyebrow area or the bridge of the nose, you will appear to be looking at the person’s eyes.

　　When you are having a conversation with someone and you want to leave a friendly impression, be sure to keep most of your focus on the person. If you look around the room too much, or look too frequently at other people, your conversation partner may think that you are bored, or that you are looking around for someone else you would rather talk with.

　　If you have difficulty knowing exactly how to make eye contact, you can practice in front of a mirror, or practice with another person. But remember not to stare at other people for a long time, because it will make them feel very uncomfortable.

　　41．From the passage, we can learn

　　.

　　A．some ways to use eye contact to make a good impression

　　B．some ways to make a good impression

　　C．some ways to communicate with others

　　D．none of the above

　　42．According to the author, which behavior is expected when you are talking with others?

　　A．Looking down at the ground

　　B．Watching the person you talk with for a long time

　　C．Paying full attention to the person you talk with

　　D．Fixing your eyes on your hands

　　43．The phrase “gaze at” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “

　　”.

　　A．point to B．refer to C．stare at D．laugh at

　　44．The purpose of the passage is

　　.

　　A．to tell us how to make friends

　　B．to tell us how to be socially successful people

　　C．to warn us not to be shy while talking with others

　　D．to tell us how to use eye contact to communicate with others

　　B

　　With the start of the new term, students around the country exchange their fun and fashionable clothes for boring school uniforms. But not all campuses are fashion deserts. Colorful sports shoes, school bags, T-shirts and even drink containers are breathing life into campuses.

　　“The uniform makes us look like a bunch of clones, especially when we are doing morning exercises on the playground,” and Qing Pei, a Senior 2 students from Shanghai Qibao High School. “But boys wear different sports shoes and girls have different decorations（装饰品）in their hair. These are the areas where you can express yourself,” said Qing.

　　Although it might be strange for boys to talk about fashion, they do care about what they wear in school, especially shoes, according to Qing.

　　“Nike and Adidas basketball shoes, although they are still the must-have items for many of my friends, are becoming out-of-date,” Qing added. He explained, “Since Liu Xiang ran so fast in Athens, running shoes are becoming popular in this autumn.”

　　“Still in fashion are the various baseball caps and American-style T-shirts with some English words printed on them,” said Qing. Besides sports shoes and T-shirts, styles and colors of schoolbags are another chance for students to express their taste in fashion. Some bags are made more eye-catching by decorating them with small dolls.

　　Other fashionable items are colorful drink containers, which are now popular with girls this term.

　　“Some teachers are surprised to see a teenager sucking a bottle like this at school and criticize it as childish regression（退化）. But some girls just love it,” said Yang Rui, a Senior 3 student.

　　49．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?

　　C．All the students look the same in uniform D．All the students have similar fashions

　　50．How do girls express themselves on campus?

　　A．They wear different spots shoes

　　B．They wear school uniforms

　　C．They have different decorations in their hair

　　D．They drink coffee from colorful drink containers

　　51．What are becoming fashionable for schoolboys according to the passage?

　　C．Colorful drink containers D．Running shoes

　　Students who say they never or hardly ever used dictionaries may speak English well but usually write poorly, because they make many mistakes.

　　The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. The ones who look up every new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English.

　　The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context. Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check this in a dictionary.

　　53．According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?

　　A．Dictionaries have little effect on learning to speak English

　　B．Whatever new words you meet while reading, never use dictionaries

　　C．Small two-language dictionaries have serious shortcomings

　　D．Reading something for the first time, you’d better not use dictionaries

　　54．This passage mainly tells us

　　.

　　A．that students shouldn’t use small two-language dictionaries

　　B．what were the shortcomings of small two-language dictionaries

　　C．why students should use large college edition dictionaries

　　D．what dictionary students should choose and how to use it

　　55．Which is NOT mentioned in this passage?

　　A．How to make good use of a dictionary B．When to use a dictionary

　　C．How to improve spoken English D．How to practice reading fast

　　注意：1．．I’m writing to tell you about the different opinions on whether students should bring their mobile phones to school.

　　Yours,

　　Wang Lei 2013年下学期高一12月月考卷70．I’m writing to tell you about the different opinions on whether students should bring their mobile phones to school.

　　Yours,

　　Wang Lei 2013年下学期高一12月月考’m writing to tell you about the different opinions on whether students should bring their mobile phones to school.

　　Some people think students should bring their phones to school. For one thing, they can make a call whenever necessary. Fro example, when an accidents happens. For another, many phones now can be used as a dictionary and a calculator, so they will be helpful to the students. Still another, after class students can listen to the radio or even see films through the phone to relax themselves.

　　But others have different opinions. They say students often make too many calls, which is a waste of money and time. The rings of the phones are sometimes noisy, too. If their phones can log on to the Internet, they may read and see something unsuitable for teenagers.

　　Every coin has two sides. In my opinion the problem is not whether or not to bring a mobile phone to school but how to make proper use of it. If a student can use a mobile phone wisely, he can certainly bring it anywhere as he likes.

　　Yours,

　　Wang Lei
