While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal, eggs or toast. When others had cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different from the other kids' also. But at least, I wasn't alone in my sufferings. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.My mother insisted upon knowing where we were at all times. You'd think we were on a chain gang. She had to know who our friends were and where we were going. She insisted if we said we'd be gone an hour, that we be gone one hour or less — not one hour and one minute.We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath everyday. The other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of insults because she made our clothes herself, just to save money.The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by nine each night and up at eight the next morning. We couldn't sleep till noon like our friends. So while they slept --- my mother actually had the nerve to break the Child Labor Law. She made us work. We had to wash dishes, make beds, learn to cook and all sorts of cruel things. I believe she laid awake at night thinking up mean things to do to us.Through the years, things didn't improve a bit. We could not lie in bed, "sick" like our friends did, and miss school. Our marks in school had to be up to par. Our friends' report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, being as different as she was, would settle for nothing less than ugly black marks.As the years rolled by, first one and then the other of us was put to shame. We were graduated from high school. With our mother behind us, talking, hitting and demanding respect, none of us was allowed the pleasure of being a drop-out.My mother was a complete failure as a mother. Out of four children, a couple of us attained some higher education. None of us have ever been arrested or divorced. Each of my brothers served his time in the service of this country. She forced us to grow up into God-fearing, educated, honest adults. Using this as a background, I am now trying to raise my three children. I am filled with pride when my children call me mean. Why Because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the whole world.21.What can we infer from the passage A.The author is not happy to have such a mean mother.B.The author's mother broke the Child Labor Law to make money.C.The author's mother failed to educate her children to be honest adultsD.The author is strict with her children.22.Why couldn’t the author eat candy for breakfast A.Because she preferred cereal, eggs or toast to candy.B.Because her mother couldn’t afford for candy.C.Because her mother thought it not good to eat candy for breakfast.D.Because her mother had to gave candy to the author’s sister and two brothers.23.The author’s mother made her children work because _________ .A.she had trouble falling into sleepB.she could not keep such a big family without her children’s helpC.she was teaching her children to live by themselves.D.she had no time to do housework.B“Selfie” may have been named Oxford Dictionary’s word of 2013. In effect,so widely known has the selfie become that in the past 12 months,its frequency in the English language has increased by 17000 percent,said Oxford dictionaries. However,its popularity has just earned it another honour-being voted the most annoying and overused term of the past 12 months. But I’d like to offer that maybe it isn’t so bad.According to the Oxford online dictionary, selfie is a photo that one takes of oneself, often from a smart phone,and send them to a social media website. Women and men alike decorate their Facebook and Twitter accounts with these pictures,sometimes with exaggerated facial expressions,such as large smiles or puckered lips(噘嘴).Let’s think about it. Someone takes about 10 selfies each time they do,and they only end up posting one or two of those. They pick the one that they feel makes them look the best. Isn’t that beautiful In that one picture,somebody has given himself or herself confidence. Self-image is vital. In today’s society,we are so crazy about being perfect. But perhaps,with that one selfie,we feel as if we fit that need. We feel handsome,beautiful,confident,smart,happy,and content. For that moment,everything bad or terrible that has ever happened to us seemed to have been erased,for that smile or that pucker is what gives us the determination to love ourselves.A spoken-word poem I saw lately set me thinking:If I ask you what you love,the answers will most likely roll of your tongue. You love to read. You love to write. You love birds,music…your mom,your brother,your sister,your daughter,your best friend,your dog. How long do you think you could go on and on before you said,“I love myself.” The poem hit me like a ton of bricks. I’ve struggled with confidence all of my life. And I still do. And in no way am I saying that taking a selfie is a gateway to that confidence. However,the selfie does deserve some credit for allowing individuals to express themselves. Just as Pamela Rutledge put it,“There are many more photographs available now of real people than models.”24.According to the writer, we live in a society where ________.A.selfie leads to success B.a good image decides one’s statusC.one’s poor performance can be erased D.being perfect is highly valued25.The spoken-word poem mentioned in the 4th paragraph implies ________.A.our pleasure to enjoy beauty B.our need to love people around usC.our tendency to ignore ourselves D.our real love to share with others26.What does the underlined word “credit” in the last paragraph mean A.praise B.grade C.trust D.fame27.In the writer’s opinion, selfie ________.A.brings about people’s sense of confidence B.is merely popular among teenagersC.tells the true meaning of life D.is an annoying phenomenon on the InternetCSeveral recent studies have found that being randomly (随机地) assigned to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater likelihood (可能性) of conflict.Recent reports found that lodging with a student of a different race may decrease prejudice and compel students to engage in more ethnically diverse friendships.An Ohio State University study also found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher academic success throughout their college careers. Researchers believe this may be caused by social pressure.In a New York Times article, Sam Roakye-the only black student on his freshman year floor-said that "if you're surrounded by whites, you have something to prove."Researchers also observed problems resulting from pairing interracial students in residences.According to two recent studies, randomly assigned roommates of different race are more likely to experience conflicts so strained that one roommate will move out.An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together by the end of the semester.Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. "This may be the first time that some of these students have interacted, and lived, with someone of a different race," she said.At Penn, students are not asked to indicate race when applying for housing."One of the great things about freshman housing is that, with some exceptions, the process throws you together randomly," said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. "This is the definition of integration.""I've experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students that have both broken down stereotypes and reinforced stereotypes," said one Penn resident advisor (RA). The RA of two years added that while some conflicts "provided more multicultural acceptance and melding (融合)," there were also "jarring cultural confrontations."The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race.Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizations based on any one of the studies, noting that more background characteristics of the students need to be studies and explained.28.What can we learn from some recent studies A.Conflicts between studies of different races are unavoidable.B.Students of different races are prejudiced against each other.C.Interracial lodging does more harm than good.D.Interracial lodging may have diverse outcomes.29.What does Sam Boakye's remark mean A.White students tend to look down upon their black peers.B.Black students can compete with their white peers academically.C.Lack students feel somewhat embarrassed among white peers during the freshman year.D.Being surrounded by white peers motivates a black student to work harder to succeed.30.What does the Indians University study show A.Interracial roommates are more likely to fall out.B.Few white students like sharing a room with a black peer.C.Roommates of different races just don't get along.D.Assigning students' lodging randomly is not a good policy.31.What does Grace Kao say about interracial lodging A.It is unscientific to make generalizations about it without further study.B.Schools should be cautious when making decisions about student lodging.C.Students' racial background should be considered before lodging is assigned.D.Experienced resident advisors should be assigned to handle the problems.DRecently a study,led by Pedro Hallal of the Federal University,suggests that nearly a third of adults,31%,are not getting enough exercise. That rates of exercise have declined is hardly a new discovery. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution,technology and economic growth have helped to create a world in which taking exercise is more and more an option rather than a necessity. But only recently have enough good data been collected from enough places to carry out the sort of analysis Dr. Hallal and his colleagues have engaged in.There are common themes in different places. Unsurprisingly,people in rich countries are less active than those in poor ones,and old people are less active than young ones. Less obviously,women tend to exercise less than men—34% are inactive,compared with 28% of men. But there are exceptions. The women of Croatia,Finland,Iraq and Luxembourg,for example,move more than their male countrymen.Malta wins the race for most slothful country,with 72% of adults getting too little exercise,and Swaziland and Saudi Arabia are in close behind,with 69%. In Bangladesh,just 5% of adults fail to exercise enough. Surprisingly,six Americans in ten are active enough according to Dr. Hallal’s study,compared with fewer than four in ten British.These high rates of inactivity are worrying. Human beings seem to have evolved to benefit from exercise while deliberately avoiding it whenever they can. In a state of nature it would be impossible to live a life that did not provide enough of it. But that is no longer the case. Actually lack of enough activity these days has nearly the same effect on life span as smoking.32.We may learn from Paragraph 1 that ________.A.the decline of exercise rates is newly discoveredB.the study suggests 31% of female adults get too little exerciseC.the industrial revolution has changed the way people live to some degreeD.the good enough data has been collected from only one country33.According to the study, women of Luxembourg ________.A.have little time to exerciseB.hate to get regular exerciseC.take more exercise to lose weightD.exercise more than men in their country34.The underlined word “slothful” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “________”.A.lazy B.rich C.powerful D.unpopular35.What can be the best title for the text A.Benefits of Taking Exercise B.New Health DiscoveryC.Evolvement of Human Beings D.Worldwide Lack of Enough Exercise第二节(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Choosing the right retirement plan or deciding which unit trust will provide the best results for you can present quite a challenge. You may not be sure how much to invest, or how much to save. 36 .Ask around37 . Ask questions that will reveal factors that are important to you in a financial advisor, such as, “How was your first meeting ” “How easy was he to get on the phone ” or “Do you understand what he says ”38Recommendations are a good start, but take time to do your own research. In fact, it’s important to understand something—like retirement, charitable giving, or possession allocation—of each advisor you research. There are professional association websites to search for financial planners: the Financial Planning Association and the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors.Understand the initialFinancial planners generally come with many initials at the end of their names, and it’s important to know what they represent.

It floods fields, towns and cities, cause great losses for us. So far, man’s control over rain had never stopped. If we can gain more effective control over rain, we will enjoy more freedom from the nature.

Now let me explain it to you.It is universally accepted that filial piety is an important virtue in China. In my opinion, it means respecting your parents and the elderly. I usually spend much time chatting with my parents, accompanying them on walks and cooking delicious food for them. Besides,I also take exercise with my parents and study hard to please them. I’ll do whatever I can to make my parents live a happy life.In a word, filial piety is a long-standing tradition in China and will be kept and passed on forever.Yours.Li Hua听力原文Text1:W: Andy, I bought a shirt for you.M: Thank you.

It can hold six people at a time. Two of them will be workers. They may be former NASA astronauts. Each trip aboard the station will last for 12 days. Guests there will be able to do many interesting things. For example, they will see around 16 sunrises and sunsets every 24 hours. They can take part in research experiments such as growing food in space. Later, they can bring the food back to the Earth. These are the same things as astronauts usually do. Guests can also share what they see and hear with others on the Earth. They can have a video chat using a high-speed Internet connection. But each guest will have to pay at least $9.5 million. That’s really a large amount of money. 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源列表 听力.mp3 四川省合江县重点学校2023-2024学年高三下学期开学英语试题(含答案).doc
