英语试题 ‎ ‎ Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Be Prepared Here are some tips for avoiding traffic jams：‎ ‎·The radio has more than just music. Check the local news station for the latest traffic report. Or go online and check traffic cameras before you set out. If there is a jam，you'll be prepared and can try another route.‎ ‎·Take the road less traveled. Although highways may be the most direct route，back roads can be much less crowded，saving you the frustration of stopandgo traffic.‎ ‎·Rush hour isn't just a cute nickname. OK，so the morning and afternoon traffic lasts for several hours，but they're still called “rush hour” for a reason—everyone's on the road and in a hurry to get somewhere. Treat rush hour like bad weather—if you don't have to go anywhere，stay off the roads.‎ Dealing with Traffic Here are some tips for those traffic jams：‎ ‎·Don't break the law. You've gone 30 feet in 30 minutes and all of a sudden you see people using the shoulders (紧急停车道)．Not only is this illegal，there's a good chance they'll get caught.‎ ‎·Pay extra attention to zigzaggers (抢道的人)．When some people are anxious，they may start changing lanes (车道) every 5 seconds or cut you off. Keep checking your windows and mirrors for these lane changers.‎ ‎·Look for an escape. If it is possible to exit the road safely，do it. Carry a ‎ map or GPS unit，so that you can adjust your route midtrip if needed.‎ ‎·Be polite. Good manners could help you avoid a possible accident. Allow people in from a lane that is ending. Speeding up to keep them out increases your chances of an accident.‎ B Body language has always been a hot topic of interesting dinner conversation and now today it is still a hot topic. It is perhaps one of the most powerful forms of human expression or human communication!‎ Body language is a very important part of communication which can constitute 50% or more of what we are communicating to the other person. If you wish to communicate effectively，then it makes sense to understand how you can (and cannot) use your body to say what you mean.‎ Body language can be used to discover all sorts of things such as，knowing when someone is attracted to you，finding truth and lies，showing confidence，winning respect in any situation，and you can use body language to put people at ease，make friends quickly，persuade，and influence.‎ So what is body language? Body language is a term used to describe the method of communication using body movements or gestures instead of，or in addition to，sounds，verbal (口头的) language or other communication. Body language includes the most subtle (微妙的) movements that many people are not aware of，including winking (眨眼) and slight movement of the eyebrows and other facial expressions.‎ Body language is one of the easiest ways for you to tell what's really going on in a conversation with another person. The body language that you observe from other people will tell you whether or not those people are being straight up with you or ‎ whether there is more to the story that's not being said. Watch，look，observe. Sometimes you can tell more by a person's body language than the words they speak.‎ C The Yangtze River，the biggest river in China，starts with the Tuotuo River at the Roof of the World，QinghaiTibet Plateau，takes in countless rivers，and flows eastward across the inner part of China. With a total length of more than 6，300 kilometers，it marches toward the East China Sea，singing the songs of the four seasons with its waves. The Yangtze River，only next to the Amazon and the Nile，is a cradle that breeds the ancient civilization(文明) of the Chinese nation.‎ The Three Gorges have showed the magic workings of nature with their beautiful mountains and waters. The peaks and rocks on the two sides are telling us the history of the region in the past billion years. Every year，many visitors around the world are attracted by the charming thousandyearlong history of the region，the great ancient relics of human civilization，and the mysterious folk tales.‎ Sandwiched between the mountains，the Three Gorges run across Fengjie and Wushan Mountain in Sichuan Province and Badong，Zigui and Yichang in Hubei Province，extending 193 kilometers long to include Qutang Gorge，Wu Gorge and Xiling Gorge. The City of White Emperor in Fengjie is an important passage of the west part of the Three Gorges.Nanjinguan in Yichang is an important gateway of the east part. Along the banks of the Yangtze River，the high peaks，overhanging rock towers，rise into the clouds；dangerous cliffs seem to reach the sky；waterfalls are spraying and sparkling，clouds and thin fogs are curling；rapids and torrents are boiling. On the whole，Xiling Gorge is dangerous for its shallow shores and rapid currents. However，Yichang is regarded by most people as the best start point to tour ‎ the Three Gorges.‎ D Windbreaks are barriers (屏障) formed by trees and other plants. Farmers plant these barriers around their fields，which help prevent the loss of soil and stop the wind from blowing soil away. They also keep the wind from damaging or destroying crops. Besides，extra trees and plants can be cut down and used or sold for wood.‎ Windbreaks can be highly valuable for protecting grain crops. For example，in parts of West Africa grain harvests were twenty percent higher in fields protected by windbreaks compared to fields without them.‎ But here is something interesting about windbreaks. They seem to work best when they allow some wind to pass through the barriers of trees or plants around a field. If not，then the movement of air close to the ground will lift the soil. Then the soil will be blown away. For this reason，a windbreak works best if it contains only 60 to 80 percent of the trees and plants that would be needed to make a solid line. An easy rule to remember is that windbreaks can protect areas up to 10 times the height of the tallest trees in the windbreak.‎ There should be at least two lines in each windbreak. One line should be large trees. The second line，right next to it，can be shorter trees or other plants with leaves. Locally grown trees and plants are considered the best choices for windbreaks. Trees reduce the damaging effects of wind and rain. Their roots help protect soil from being washed away. And trees can provide animals with shade from the sun.‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Birth order plays a vital role in deciding the characteristics of a child. And when it comes to the middle child，it certainly plays a huge role. The middle children go ‎ through some things only they can understand. 16 ‎ Mostly，middle children have to share a room. 17 They need to share a room with an elder one because they're too young to sleep alone. And just when they think they'll finally have a room of their own，a voice is heard saying，“Dear，please share the room with your younger one，as he's too small to sleep alone.”‎ Middle children tend to share clothes with their siblings(兄弟姐妹)．Their cupboard is full of handmedowns from their older sibling，and they need to wear his clothes. 18 They can always show off their elder sibling's clothes and things at school. Also，they get to pass their own clothes to their younger sibling.‎ ‎ 19 They're liked by both，because they can relate well to both generations. On one hand they can recall how much fun it was watching Garfield and Friends，and on the other hand they can talk about the latest video game released in the market.‎ Siblings' talking is one interesting thing about a middle child. They are not as boring as they appear. 20 Also，thanks to the divided attention at home，middle children are independent and need not rely on anyone.‎ A．Instead，they are very artistic and creative.‎ B．But this comes with its own advantage too.‎ C．Here are some things a middle child can relate to.‎ D．They rarely enjoy the experience of having their own room.‎ E．And the dream of having their own room is completely destroyed.‎ F．They're the problem solvers between their older and younger siblings.‎ G．As a middle kid，they are the bridge between their younger and older siblings.‎ Ⅲ.完形填空 During my second year at the city college，I was told that the education department was offering a “free” course，called Thinking Chess，for three credits.

In his introduction，he made it 29 that our credits would be hardearned. In order to 30 the class，among other criteria，we had to write a paper on how we plan to 31 what we would learn in class to our future professions and， 32 ，to our lives. I managed to get an A in that 33 and learned life lessons that have served me well beyond the 34 ．‎ Ten years after my chess class with Ashley，I'm still putting to use what he 35 me：“The absolute most important 36 that you learn when you play chess is how to make good 37 ．On every single move you have to 38 a situation，process what your opponent(对手) is doing and 39 the best move form among all your options.” These words still ring true today in my 40 as a journalist.‎ Ⅳ.语法填空 The question of 41.________ invented the computer cannot be answered with a single name. Throughout history，many different people have helped in the development of this 42.________ (value) machine. And many date the first important 43.________ (invent) to the fourth century BC when the abacus was developed.‎ It could be said that the first computer that could store programs 44.________(be)‎ ‎ the 1949 Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator. It 45.________ (create) by Maurice Wilkes. From this point forward，many developers helped to make various types of computer.‎ In the early 1970s，many skilled inventors including Bill Gates，Steve Jobs，and Steve Wozniak did much 46.________(develop) personal computers in the form of PCs and Apples. By the 1990s，ownership of PCs became common as production (生产) grew 47.________ (expensive) than before.

Everyone was silent，wait to see who would be called upon to read his and her paragraph aloud. Some of us were confident and eager take part in the class activity；others were nervous and anxious. I had done myself homework，but I was shy. I was afraid that to speak in front of a larger group of people.
