As I was finishing my meal, an elderly couple came in to dine. They were holding hands and had lovely smiles on their faces. They sat three tables from me. I was amazed at the love they showed for each other. It seemed to strike me greatly, because it was shortly after ending a 20-year marriage and I still had pain in my heart. My waiter was also their waiter. As I paid my bill, I inquired as to what their bill was. He informed me, and I gave him $40 to pay their bill. He asked if I knew them and I told him "No, I just wanted to repay them for the love that they were showing to each other," and then I departed. The next day I entered the restaurant to dine before my departure. After I had been seated, the waiter who served me the night before ?3? told me that the strangest thing happened after I left the restaurant. When the elderly couple went to pay for their meal, they were informed that it had been paid. When they inquired who had done this, the hostess told them they had no idea who I was, just retelling what I said. The couple were amazed. They looked around, asked for the bill of two young couples who were seated together, paid their bill and departed, saying "Love begets Love", to the amazement of the hostess and waiter. I smiled and said, “That's nice,” and proceeded to order my meal. About 45 minutes later, I finished my meal and was about to head out, but my waiter was nowhere to be found. I waited and waited and finally walked over to the hostess and explained that I needed to pay for my meal and hurry to the airport. She smiled and explained that I would not have to pay for my meal, because both the waiter and she felt compelled to pay my bill due to the joy that was brought to the faces of the elderly couple and the amazement of the young couples. When I told her that they didn't have to do that, she said with a smile, “Love begets Love.” 36. The writer’s purpose of writing the passage is to _______. A. suggest love never dies B. share an interesting experience C. encourage us to help people in need D. prove a show of love really makes a difference 37. Why did the elderly couple pay the bill of the two young couples? A. Because they were always ready to help poor people. B. Because they were happy to pass the love they gained. C. Because they invited the young people to the meal. D. Because they didn’t want to take the advantage of the writer’ s generosity. 38. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word "compelled" in this passage? A. obliged B. forced C. satisfied D. determined 39. What can be inferred from the story? A. The writer did all this to prove his belief in love. B. The young couples paid the bill of other customers in the restaurant. C. The waiter left on purpose and made the writer stay alone to test him. D. The love between the elderly couple deeply touched the writer who was single. 40. Which of the following proverbs can best explain the theme of the story? A. A good beginning makes a good ending. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. As a man sows, so shall he reap (收获). D. Love me, love my dog. ?4? B When times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we’ re hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education. One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor’s degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there’s a question: Would the quality of undergraduate education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a “three-year degree” model. I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum (课程) any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits. In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are selective are unlikely to suddenly “throw out” one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist “diluting (稀释)” the quality of the education they offer. In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it’s not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns (实习生) in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University. 41. Which of the following can be the best title? A. It’s time to shorten the learning process B. Best college education takes place over time C. University education should be watered down D. College education calls for reform 42. We can learn from the passage that ________. A. most American universities are against the “three-year degree” model B. many famous US universities are considering adopting the “three-year degree” model C. professors are willing to accept the “three-year degree” model D. The “three-year degree” model can make college learning more efficient 43. In most US universities, ________. A. college students are offered the co-op program ?5? B. selective credits make up one quarter of the required credits C. all students are required to finish four-year education before graduation D. some excellent students can graduate ahead of time 44. We can infer that ________. A. the author is a college professor B. the author thinks the cost of a university education is too high for people to afford C. the author considers the university education quality very important D. the author pays special attention to the life skills of college students 45. The first paragraph serves as a(n) ________( A. explanation B. definition C. introduction D. comment C Five million people visit Grand Canyon in the US every year. For the purpose of helping project Grand Canyon for your fellow visitors and future generations, please follow the guidelines below. Camping To project the park, camping is allowed only within permitted campgrounds. Permits are required for overnight camping at the North Rim. Advance booking can be received by mail. Please write: Information Center, P.O. Box 129, Grand Canyon, AZ 86023 Fires Because of the extreme fire danger, campfires are not allowed except at Mather and Desert View campgrounds. Collection of firewood is not allowed either. Hiking Please stay on permitted paths. Otherwise you may destroy desert plants. Pack out what you pack in, so you leave no signs of your visit. It is important to keep in mind that you are in a national park where wildlife exists. Weather The weather at Grand Canyon can change very quickly. With so much rock, lightning causes a particular danger during sudden summer storms. These storms also frequently bring floods inside valleys, a danger to hikers. Watch the sky and check daily weather reports. Wildlife Do not feed park wildlife. There have been a few cases at Grand Canyon National Park where deer were purposely shot because there were plastic bags that left them sick and weak. Hungry deer can be a danger and have kicked and bitten visitors at Grand Canyon. Some other ?6? animals will also beg and bite. For your own safety and the well-being of the animals, please do not feed wildlife, no matter how gentle they may appear. 46. What can you do first if you want to go camping overnight? A. Pack light. B. Book campgrounds in advance. C. Make sure not to make a fire. D. Stop at Mather and Desert View campgrounds. 47.

To teach tourists hiking skills. D. To introduce the wildlife. D Doctors have long known that men and women experience their blues differently. Yet when doctors designed the guidebook they use to diagnose (诊断) psychiatric diseases, they made the descriptions gender-neutral. Today, evidence is mounting that in turning a blind eye to gender, they are actually doing their patients a disservice. As more researchers investigate sex differences in depression, the inescapable conclusion is that gender influences every aspect of these disorders. More recently, researchers have started to study the deeper differences. Perhaps the most important of these, and the one most frequently misunderstood by people of both genders, is the difference in symptoms expressed by women and men. For women, the primary emotion of depression is usually sadness. For men, it is more typically anger or irritability, often coupled with recklessness (不顾一切). As a ?7? result, many women and men, including depressed men, mistake male depression for general frustration and restlessness rather than a serious disorder. Depressed men are also much less likely to seek help than depressed women, and they are much more likely to hurt themselves. The big question is whether the differences are a matter of nature or nurture (后天养育). Some researchers believe the brain chemistry of depression is the same in men and women but that social standards do not let men express sadness, so they often have difficulty clearly expressing their symptoms. “They’ll say, ‘I’m not getting as much done,’ or ‘I keep getting into fights with my girlfriend,’ rather than ‘I’m sad,’” says Sam Cochran, director of counseling at the University of Iowa. “But once we get past that, the symptoms are pretty much the same as for the female patients.” Cochran and others who emphasize the importance of cultural influences are increasingly in the minority. An ever growing body of evidence suggests that biology sets men and women apart in ways that have real consequences for mood and behavior. Not surprisingly, these differences emerge from the very substances that define gender in the first place: sex hormones (激素). Understanding the effects of these hormones on the brain may be the only way to make sure that every depressed patient gets the right treatment. The biochemistry of sex hormones in the brain, however, is difficult to study because the hormones themselves are hard to measure and their effects are so widespread. But the evidence is strong for a primary role in gross brain physiology. The male brain tends to be larger than the female brain and matures more slowly. 51. What did the author say of the action of describing the symptoms gender-neutral? A. It is quite reasonable for the clinicians to make it gender-neutral. B. Clinicians are unaware of the different responses male and female make. C. Doctors should have made the real conditions known to the public. D. It is better if patients could learn the truth from the researchers. 52. According to the passage, when it comes to depression, men _______. A. would share his own sorrows with his friends B. actually need immediate help from others C. are less likely to express his anger than women D. are mistaken because of their frustration 53. For those believing in nurture theory, men would have these responses because _______. A. men are normally expected to be stronger than women are B. sex hormones have a bigger impact on men than on women C. men are less likely to be influenced by traditional beliefs D. men’s shyness prevent themselves from expressing their emotions 54. Which of the following is TRUE according to the last two paragraphs? A. More scientists believe it is nurture that leads to the variations in symptoms. B. The effects of sex hormones on depression symptoms are hard to study. C. It takes men far more time to get mature than women. D. Scientists did experiments on animal reactions because it was ?8? hard to measure hormones. 55. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. Sex matters in understanding depression symptoms. B. How different people suffer from depression. C. Reasons for our blues. D. Different theories in explaining depression symptoms. ?9? 2013-2014-2高三年级四月考英语试卷参考答案 I. 单项选择 (15%) 1-5 ABDDA 6-10 DABCC 11-15 CCBBD II. 完形填空 (30%) 16-20 DCBAB 21-25 CDABD 26-30 AABCB 31-35 BACCD III. 阅读理解 (50%) 36-40 DBADC 41-45 BADCC 46-50 BBADA 51-55 CBABA V. 阅读达 (10%) 56.

Nowadays the development of voluntary service is still in the primary stage in China. However, voluntary service plays an important role in our life. Generally, its advantages can be listed as follows. For one thing, voluntary service contributes to promoting social progress and building a harmonious society, by spreading the idea of love and civilization. For another, the volunteers benefit a lot from it too because they develop their life skills and gain a sense of ?10? satisfaction in the process. I strongly recommend that we high school students should get actively involved in voluntary service to achieve our self-improvement and give back to the society. Only if we take action from now on can we make a big difference to the society and our own life. Thanks for your attention! 10.50-20-15-10-5051015200.10.050-150-150420-2-4-150-150 ?11? ?12?
