One day, three people rushed in and grabbed food off the shelves as fast as they could, __39__ not intending to pay for it.

江苏省丰县华山中学2012届高三英语总复习测试卷(9)

A

Recently, one of my best friends, whom I've shared just about everything with since the first day of kindergarten, spent the weekend with me. Since I moved to a new town several years ago，we've both always looked forward to the few times a year when we can see each other.

Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night, talking about the people she was hanging around with. She started telling me stories about her new boyfriend, about how he experimented with drugs and was into other self­destructive behaviour. I was blown away! She told me how she had been lying to her parents about where she was going and even stealing out to see this guy because they didn't want her around him. No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she deserved better, she didn't believe me. Her self­respect seemed to have disappeared. I tried to convince her that she was ruining her future and heading for big trouble. I felt like I was getting nowhere. I just couldn't believe that she really thought it was acceptable to hang out with a bunch of losers, especially her boyfriend. By the time she left，I was really worried about her and exhausted by the experience. It had been so frustrating，I had come close to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe we had just grown too far apart to continue our friendship, but I didn't. I put the power of friendship to the final test. We'd been friends for far too long. I had to hope that she valued me enough to know that I was trying to save her from hurting herself. I wanted to believe that our friendship could conquer anything.

A few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our conversation, and then she told me that she had broken up with her boyfriend. I just listened on the other end of the phone with tears of joy running down my face. It was one of the truly rewarding moments in my life. Never had I been so proud of a friend.

56．In the writer's opinion，her friend ________.

A. was a girl with no self­respect

B. could find a better boyfriend

C. was brave enough to stick to her own choice

D. didn't value the writer's suggestion

[解析]推理判断题。作者在第二段中提到好友的男友有吸毒及堕落行为，并尽力劝好友悬崖勒马，由此可知作者认为这样的男子不配做好友的男友。此外，本段中的“she deserved better”也是线索提示。作者的好友最终听从了作者的建议，因此D项不正确。

[答案]B

57．What did the writer worry about?

A. She would lose the friendship with her.

B. Her friend's parents would be worried about their daughter.

C. Her friend would get into great trouble with the boy.

D. Her friend's boyfriend would be in great trouble.

[解析]细节理解题。根据第三段第一句话的后半部分可知作者担心好友与那个男孩在一起会惹上麻烦。

[答案]C

江苏省丰县华山中学2012届高三英语总复习测试卷(9)

58．We may learn from Paragraph 3 that the writer________.

A. didn't want to go anywhere else

B. understood her friend's hanging with her boyfriend

C. couldn't believe that her friend's choice was acceptable

D. doubted that she could in any way help her friend

[解析]推理判断题。根据本段中的“I felt like I was getting nowhere.”可知作者怀疑自己无法帮助自己的好友。

[答案]D

59．What can be concluded from the passage?

A．Friendship starting from childhood is not reliable.

B．Friendship is a cure for any injury in life.

C．Friendship should be everlasting once begun.

D．Friendship can have magical power in life.

[解析]推理判断题。倒数第二段最后一句提到作者相信友谊能够征服一切，最后一段提到作者的好友认真思索后接受了作者的建议，由此可推断友谊在生活中具有神奇的力量。

[答案]D

B

(·浙江金华十校3月联考)As a kid, I can remember going to the supermarket and grabbing eggs off the shelf. I would run them home to my mother because they were usually going into a delicious cake. Times have changed. Cage­free? Organic? Brown? White? Omega­3s? Help! Here are some tips to help you figure out which eggs you should choose：

●Brown or white? In fact，color is simply a sign of the breed of hen. Find the freshest egg with the most flavor and let color be a secondary concern.

●Extra Omega­3s? Omega­3 eggs come from a hen whose diet has added flaxseed(亚麻籽) ，which produces an egg containing an average of 225 mg of Omega­3 fatty acids and Vitamin E. The countless health benefits for humans make these eggs an attractive purchase. My opinion? Eat a piece of fresh fish and get a pure dose of Omega­3s. Let eggs be eggs.

●Does your egg need exercise? Free­range eggs are from hens raised without the confines of a cage, though they may or may not have spent much time outdoors. Organic eggs are from hens whose feed must meet organic standards. These hens must be raised humanely, and they must be given time to stay outdoors. Hey，happier hens do lay tastier eggs.

●Does local make a difference? Nothing is better than local eggs. They may have a feather or two stuck to them or be a little imperfect shape and they may or may not be certified (证明) organic; however, they have one quality I prize：I know exactly where my food came from and how it came to be! In some cases I can even ask the farmer when the eggs were laid and what the hens were fed.

60．What does the author think of Omega­3 eggs?

A. They are a good choice for people to purchase.

B. They contain fewer Omega­3s than fresh fish.

C. They have the highest content of pure Omega­3s.

D. They are not the best source of Omega­3s.

江苏省丰县华山中学2012届高三英语总复习测试卷(9)

[解析]由第三段最后两句话可知，要想补充Omega­3脂肪酸，吃一片新鲜鱼就可以了，不必挑选含有这种成分的鸡蛋。即D项正确。

[答案]D

61．The underlined part “Free­range” probably means“________”．

A. wild B. organic

C. special D. Omega­3­free

[解析]根据第四段第二句话中的from hens raised without the confines of a cage可知，free­range eggs 是指放养在野外(wild)的鸡生的蛋，因此选A项。

[答案]A

62．According to the passage, which of the following has nothing to do with an egg's quality?

A. The egg's color. B. The hen's exercise.

C. The hen's living conditions. D. The hen's food.

[解析]由第二段可知，鸡蛋的颜色不影响鸡蛋的质量，鸡蛋不同的颜色只是因为鸡的品种不同。

[答案]A

63．This passage is most probably taken from a book named________.

A. Shopping Skills B. Eggs and Cooking

C. Raising Hens D. Healthy Diet

[解析]文章讲述的是有关健康饮食方面的事情，因此选D项合理。

[答案]D

C

I fell in love with the minister's son the winter I turned fourteen. He was not Chinese. For Christmas I prayed for the boy, Robert. When I found out that my parents had invited the minister's family over for Christmas Eve dinner, I cried in panic. What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas? What would he think of our noisy Chinese relatives who lacked proper American manners?

On Christmas Eve, my mother created abundant Chinese food. And then they arrived—the minister's family and all my relatives. Robert greeted hello, and I pretended he_was_not_worthy_of_existence. _

Dinner threw me deeper into disappointment. My relatives licked (舔) the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the table. Robert and his family waited patiently for a large plate to be passed to them. My relatives murmured with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish. Robert made a face. Then my father reached his chopsticks just below the fish eye and picked out the soft meat. “Amy, your favorite.”he said, offering me the tender fish cheek. I wanted to disappear. At the end of the meal, my father leaned back and burped(打嗝) loudly, thanking my mother for her fine cooking. “It's a polite Chinese custom to show you are satisfied.”explained my father to our astonished guests. Robert was looking down at his plate with a reddish face. The minister managed to bring up a quiet burp. I was shocked into silence for the rest of the night.

After everyone had gone，my mother said to me，“You want to be the same as American girls on the outside.”She handed me an early gift.It was a miniskirt.“But inside you must always be Chinese.You must be proud that you are different.Your only shame

It is true that good writers rewrite and rewrite and then rewrite some more.But in order to work up the desire to rewrite，it is important to learn to like what you write at the early stage.

I am surprised at the number of famous writers I know who say that they so dislike

江苏省丰县华山中学2012届高三英语总复习测试卷(9)

reading their own writing later that they even hate to look over the publishers' opinions.One reason we may dislike reading our own work is that we're often disappointed that the rich ideas in our minds seem very thin and plain when first written down.Jerry Fodor and Steven Pinker suggest that this fact may be a result of how our minds work.

Different from popular belief，we do not usually think in the words and sentences of ordinary language but in symbols for ideas (known as‘mentalese’)，and writing our ideas down is an act of translation from that symbolic language.But while mentalese contains our thoughts in the form of a complex tapestry (织锦)，writing can only be composed one thread at a time.Therefore it should not be surprising that our first attempt at expressing ideas should look so simple.It is only by repeatedly rewriting that we produce new threads and connect them to get closer to the ideas formed in our minds.

When people write as if some strict critics (批评家) are looking over their shoulder，they are so worried about what this critic might say that they get stuck before they even start.Peter Elbow makes an excellent suggestion to deal with this problem.When writing we should have two different minds.At the first stage，we should see every idea，as well as the words we use to express it，as wonderful and worth putting down.It is only during rewrites that we should examine what we excitedly wrote in the first stage and check for weaknesses.
