山东青岛市高三上期末考试英语试卷

One day a student was walking with his teacher in the countryside．As they went  along，they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path．They were a pool farmer’s，who was working in the nearby field．
The student turned to the teacher saying：“We will hide his shoes，and hide ourselves behind those trees，and wait to see what he will do”
“My young friend．”answered the teacher,“we should never make fun of the poor. Why not put a coin in each shoe，and then we will hide ourselves and watch?”The student did so and they both hid themselves behind the trees. The poor man soon finished his work，and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes.

I work in a nursing home and my job is to take care of the elderly．
This year, a very sweet old lady that I cared for，Alice, had gone through a difficult time .She got dementia and so she had been in the hospital twice .In November I was finally able to get her back to her“home”．
Alice had thought her daughter was coming to visit her on Christmas day and that they were going to have the whole family together like the old days. When she finally realized that that happy moment was not going to happen，she was very sad．Knowing that her daughter was coming after Christmas was not enough to make her feel happy，I hated the idea of her being alone on the holiday!
On Christmas Eve，I gave her a surprise by asking if she could like to go to a candlelight service at church that night
Instead of taking her to my church，I took her to her old neighborhood church where all her friends were. We got there early and I got her a seat where her friends could see her as they came in．Then soon some of her friends came to the church and they rushed over to greet her and sit with her．
The candlelight service was beautiful and Alice got a lot of love from her old and new friends there.
The truth of the story is that I am the one who got the best gift: the smile on Alice’s face
The underlined word“dementia”in Paragraph 2 probably is_______

In a computer age，a broadband Internet connection is very popular now．Whether cable or mobile broadband，today’s connections are many times faster than those in the early days. Videos play smoothly, complex websites load quickly，and files download much faster than ten years ago．And the files are much bigger too．
There’s a hidden problem：You have to live near enough to a major city to get broadband Internet. If you don’t，it's slow dial-up access for you. And for those living really far out，there may be no Internet access at a11．
Technology experts often talk about the “last mile” problem， which refers to the difficulty of bringing Internet access to remote locations．In cities and suburbs(郊区)，it's relatively easy to provide access for everyone．It is much more difficult to deliver access to those living far from cities，especially in developing countries．Internet service providers．for their part，have been reluctant to provide access to sparsely(稀疏地)populated areas．The handful of Internet users they would reach wouldn’t cover the expense.
But every year, technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users. Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone lines although these technologies aren’t available everywhere．
Some companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines. Advancements in cheaper more efficient fiber optics cables(光纤电缆)promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users．Still．the“last mile”problem remains hard to deal with．There will always be somewhere that doesn’t have an affordable broadband connection．But someday that might not matter．If the rapid progress in cell phone technology is any indication，it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you wherever you go.
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that technological advancements_______.

What may eventually settle the“last mile”problem?

The best title for this passage may be________．

A good deal of fascinating research has been done about the reading patterns of young people，and it is surprising to discover at what an early age children start expressing preferences for particular kind of books. A recent report，which examined in detail the reading habits of primary-school children．showed that even seven-year-old boys and girls have clear views about what they want to read. Girls，in general，read more，and far more girls than boys preferred reading stories. Boys were showing a taste for the more instant appeal of picture stories，or else books about their hobbies．
These tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers. Apparently girls read more in general，but more fiction in particular .You could say that there are more opportunities for girls to read fiction：magazines encourage the fiction habit in girls in their early teens，and by their late teens they have probably moved on to the adult women’s magazines．Teenage boys tend to buy magazines about their hobbies：motorcycles，heavy transport and to on．
Adult reading tastes are also the subject of research．Again the number of women who read for pleasure is considerably higher than the number of men. It seems that the majority of women still want love stories．There has also been some analysis of what men actually read Apparently only 38 percent of men read anything，but 50 percent of what they read is fiction in the form of action-packed(内容丰富有趣的)stories of space or gunmen
What has the recent research into children’s reading show?

If we have a close look at the reading habits of boys and girls we’ll find that_______

It can be inferred from the passage that_________．

You can set a budget for your time just as you can set a budget for your money. Since you’re trying to reduce worry rather than increase it，go into this process with a focus on maximizing(使…最大化)your personal time，rather than cramming(塞满) as much as you can into each day.
●  Set a sleep schedule   Give yourself a one-hour target window for bedtime in the evening，and set a strict time to get up in the morning．Be sure that the space between your bedtime and the start of your day gives you roughly an hour more than the amount of sleep you actually need．
●Take care of tasks at the same time every day. Plan time for daily health care， commuting(乘公交下上班)，work，shopping，eating，and chores(家务).Add in time for anything else you do most days，such as homework，exercise，or an active hobby. All the time left over is your free time，to use for relaxation or whatever else you want．
●    For example，you might plan to go, dropping on your way home from work, to save the extra trip
For many people，an irregular work schedule make this kind of budgeting difficult．

E．Therefore．you won’t lay down and start worrying about whether or not you’ll fall asleep on time．
F．Sit comfortably and focus on your breathing until the rest of your thoughts become quiet.
G．Put them in a specific order that works for you
