Solitude can be hard to discover 37 it has been given up. In this respect, new technologies have 38 our culture.

The desire to be connected has brought solitude to a(n) 39 as we‘ve known it. People have become so 40 in the world of networks and connections that one can often be contacted 41 they‘d rather not be. Today we can talk, text, e-mail, chat and blog(写博客), not only from our 42 , but from our mobile phones as well.

Most developed nations have become 43 on digital technology simply because they‘ve grown accustomed to it, and at this point not 44 it would make them an outsider. 45 , many jobs and careers require people to be 46 . From this point of view, technology has changed the culture of work. Being reachable might feel like a 47 to those who may not want to be able to be contacted at all times.

I suppose the positive side is that solitude is still possible for anyone who 48 wants it. Computers can be shut 49 and mobile phones can be turned off. The ability to be ―connected‖ and ―on‖ has many 50 , as well as disadvantages. Travelers have ended up 51 on mountains, and mobile phones have saved countless lives. They can also make people feel 52 and forced to answer unwanted calls or 53 to unwanted texts.

Attitudes towards our connectedness as a society 54 across generations. Some find today‘s technology a gift. Others consider it a curse. Regardless of anyone‘s view on the subject, it‘s hard to imagine what life would be like 55 daily advancements in technology.

Deputy Agriculture Secretary Kathleen Merrigan sees an epidemic(流行病) sweeping across America‘s farmland. It has little to do with the usual challenges, such as flood, rising fuel prices and crop-eating insects. The country‘s farmers are getting older, and there are fewer people standing in line to take their place. National agricultural census(普查) figures show that the fastest-growing group of farmers is the part over 65. Merrigan is afraid the average age will be even higher when the 2012 statistics are completed.

Merrigan, a former college professor, is making stops at universities across the country in hopes of encouraging more students to think about careers in agriculture. Aside from trying to stop the graying of America‘s farmers, her work is made tougher by a recent blog posting that put agriculture at No. 1 on a list of ―useless‖ college degrees. Top federal agriculture officials are talking about the posting, and it has the attention of agirucltural organizations across the country.

―There couldn‘t be anyting that‘s more incorrect,‖ Merrigan said. ―We know that there aren‘t enough qualified graduates to fill the jobs that are out there in American agriculture.‖

In addition, a growing world population that some experts predict will require 70% more food production by 2050, she said.

―I truly believe we‘re at a golden age of agriculture. Global demand is at an all-time record high, and global supplies are at all-time record lows,‖ said Matt Rush, director of the Texas Farm Bureau. ―Production costs are going to be valuable enough that younger perople are going to have the opportunity to be involved in agriculture.‖

The Department of Agriculture has programs aimed at developing more farmers and at increasing interest in locally grown food. The National Young Farmers‘ Coalition has also been pushing for state and federal policy changes to make it easier for new farmers.

Ryan Best, president of Future Farmers of America, has been living out of a suitcase, traveling the ocuntry and visiting with high school students about careers in agriculture. The 21-year-old Best hopes his message—that this is a new time in agriculture---will motivate the enxt generation to turn around the statistics. ―Never before have we had the innovations(创新) in technology which have led to agriculture in this country being the msot efficient it has ever been,‖ he said. ―There‘s really a place for everybody to fit in.‖

59. What is the new challenge to American agriculture? A. Fewer and older farmers. B. Higher fuel prices.

- 5 -

2009年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（江苏卷） C. More natural disasters D. Lower agricultural output. 60. Why is Merrigan visiting universities across the country? A. To draw federal agriculture officials‘ attention. B. To select qualified agriculture graduates. C. To clarify a recent blog posting.

D. To talk more students into farming careers.

61. According to Matt Rush, American agriculture will provide opportunities for younger people because ______.

A. the government will cover production costs B. global food supplies will be even lower C. investment in agriculture will be profitable D. America will increase its food export

62. What do the underlined words ―to turn around the statistics‖ in the last paragraph mean? A. To re-analyze the result of the national census. B. To increase agricultural production.

C. To bring down the average age of farmers. D. To invest more in agriculture.

C.

Meddical drugs sometimes cause more damage than they cure. One solution to this problem is toput the drugs inside a capsule, protecting them from the body—and the body from them—until they can be released at just the right spot. There are lots of ways to trigger(引发) this release, including changing temperature, acidity, and so on. But triggers can come with their own risks--- burns, for example. Now, researchers in Califonia have designed what could be a harmless trigger to date: shining near-infrared light (NIR，近红外钱) on the drug in the capsule.

The idea of suing light to liberate the drug in the capsule isn‘t new. Researchers around the globe have developed polymers(聚合物) and other materials that begin to break down when they absorb either ultraviolet(UV，紫外线) or visible light. But tissues also readilyabsorb UV and visible light, which emans the drug release can be triggered only near the skin, where the light can reach the capsule. NIR light largely passes through tissues, so researchers have tried to use it as a trigger. But few compounds(化合物) absorb NIR well and go thourh chemical changes.

That changed last year when Adah Almutairi, a chemist at the Unviersity of California, San Diego, reported that she and her colleagues had designed a polymer that breaks down when it absorbs NIR light. Their polymer used a commercially available NIR-absorbing group called o-nitroberizyl(ONB). When they catch the light, ONB groups fall off the polymer, leading to its breakdown. But ONB is only a so-so NIR absorber, and it could be poisonous to cells when it separates from the polymer.

So Almutairi and her colleagues reported creating a new material for capsules that;s even better. This one consists of a long chain fo compounds called cresol groups linked in a polymer. Cresol contains reactive(易反应的) components that make it highly unstable in its polymeric form, a feature Almutairi and her colleagues use to their advantage. After polymerizing the cresols, they cap each reactive component with a light-absorbing compound called Bhc. When the Bhcs absorb NIR light, the reactive component with a light-absorbing compound called Bhc. When the Bhcs absorb NIR light, the reactive groups are exposed and break the long polymer into two short chains. Shining additional light continues this breakdown, potentially releasing any drugs in the capsule. What‘s more, Almutairi says, Bhc is 10 times better at absorbing NIR than is ONB and is not poisonous to cells.

63. According to the passage, which of the following could be the best trigger? A. Temperature change B. NIR light.

- 6 -

2009年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（江苏卷） C. Acidity change. D. UV light. 64. Why is ONB unsatisfactory?

A. It breaks down when it absorbs NIR light.

B. It falls off the polymer and triggers drug release. C. It has not come onto the market up till now.

D. It is not effective enough and could be poisonous.

65. Which word can be used to compete the following process of changes? absorb Part of the cresol is Polymer breaks Drug is Bhcs ______ down. released. NIR. A. protected B. formed C. exposed D. combined D.

Franz Kafka wrote that ―a book must be the ax(斧子) for the frozen sea inside us.‖ I once shared this sentence with a class of seventh graders, and it didn‘t seem to require any explanation.

We‘d just jinished John Steinbeck‘s novel Of Mice and Men. When we read the end together out loud in class, my toughest boy, a star basketball player, wept a little, and so did I. ―Are you crying?‖ one girl asked, as she got out of her chair to take a closer look. ―I am,‖ I told her, ―and the funny thing is I‘ve read it many times.‖

But they understood. When George shoots Lennie, the tragedy is that we realize it was always going to happen. In my 14 years of teaching in a New York City public middle school, I‘ve taught kids with imprisoned parents, abusive parents, irresponsible parents; kids who are parents themselves; kids who are homeless; kids who grew up in violent neighborhoods. They understand, more than I ever will, the novel‘s terrible logic—the giving way of dreams to fate (命运).

For the last seven yers, I have worked as a reading enrichment teacher, reading classic works of lieterature with small groups of students from grades six to eight. I originally proposed this idea to my headmaster after learning that a former excellent student of mine had transferred out of a selective high school --- one that often attracts the literary-minded children of Manhatten‘s upper classes---into a less competitive setting. The daughter of immigrants, with a father in prison, she perhaps felt uncomfortable with her new classmates. I thought additional ―cultural capital‖ could help students like her develop better in high school, where they would unavoidably meet, perhaps for the first time, students who came from homes lined with bookshelves, whose parents had earned PH. D.‘s.

Along with Of Mice and Men, my groups read: Sounder, The Red Pony, Lord of the Flies, Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. The students didn‘t always read from the sxpected point of view. About The Red Pony, one student said, ―it‘s about being a man, it‘s about manliness.‖ I had never before seen the parallels between Scarface and Macbeth, nor had I heard Lady Macbeth‘s soliloquies(独白) read as raps(说唱), but both made sense; the interpretations were playful, but serious. Once introduced to Steinbech‘s writing, one boy went on to read The Grapes of Wrath and told me repeatedly how amazing it was that ―all these people hate each other, and they‘re all white.‖ His historical view was broadening, his sense of his own country deepening. Year after year, former students visited and told me how prepared they had felt in their first year in college as a result of the classes.

Year aftr years, however, we are increasing the number of practice tests. We are trying to teach students to read increasingly complex texts, not for emotional punch(碰撞) but for text complexity. Yet, we cannot enrich (充实) the minds of our students by testing them on texts that ignore their hearts. We are teaching them that words do not amaze but confuse. We may succeed in raising text scores, but we will fail to teach them that reading can be tranformative and that it belongs to them.

66. The underlined words in Paragraph 1 probably mean that a book helps to ______.

- 7 -

2009年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（江苏卷） A. realize our dreams B. give support to our life C. smooth away difficulties D. awake our emotions

67. Why were the students able to understand the novel Of Mice and Men? A. Because they spent much time reading it. B. Because they had read the novel before. C. Because they came from a public school. D. Because they had similar life experiences.

68. The girl left the selective high school possibly because ____.

A. she was a literary-minded girl B. her parents were immigrants C. she couldn‘t fit in with her class D. her father was then in prison 69. To the author‘s surprise, the students read the novels ______. A. creatively B passively C. repeatedly D. carelessly 70. The author writes the passage mainly to ________. A. introduce classic works of literature

B. advocate teaching literature to touch the heart C. argue for equality among high school students D. defend the current testing system

―Happiness Advantage‖ Effect

In July 2010 Burt‘s Bees, a personal-care products company, was going through enormous change as it began a global expansion into 19 new countries. In this kind of high-pressure situation, many leaders bother their assistants with frequent meetings or flod their in-boxes with urgent demands. In doing so, managers lift everyone‘s anxiety level, which activates the part of the brain that processes threats and steals resources from the prefrontal cortex(大脑皮层), which is responsible for effective problem solving.

Burt‘s Bees‘s then-CEO, John Wolfgang, took a different approach. Each day, he‘d send out an e-mail praising a team member for work related to global marketing. He‘d interrupt his own presentations to remind his managers to talk with their teams about the company‘s values. He asked me to further a three-hour session with exmployees on happiness in the course of the expansion feffort. As one member of the senior team told me a year later, Wolfgang‘s emphasis on developing positive leadership kept his managers actively involved and loyal as they successfully tranformed the company into a global one.

That outcome shouldn‘t surprise us. Research shows that when people work with a positive mind-set(思维模式), performance on nearly every level--- productivity, creativity, involvement---improves. Yet happiness is perhaps the most misunderstood driver of performance. For one, most people believe that success comes before happiness. ―Once I get a promotion, I‘ll be happy,‖ they think. Or, ―Once I hit sales targe, I‘ll feel great.‖ But because success is a moving target—as soon as you hit your target, you raise it again ----- the happiness that results from success does not last long.

In fact, it works the other way around: People who have a positive mind-set perform better in the face of challenge. I call this the ―happiness advantage‖ –every business outcome shows improvement when the brain is positive. I‘ve observed this effect in my role as a researcher and lecturer in 48 countries on the connection between employee happiness and success. And I‘m not alone: In an analysis of 225 academic studies, researchers found strong evidence of cause-and-effect relationship between life satisfaction and successful business outcomes.

Another common misunderstanding is that our genetics, our environment, or a combination of the two determines how happy we are. To be sure, both factors have an impact. But one‘s general sense of

Conflicts with others are common in everyday life. During the basketball game yesterday afternoon, Su Hua and Li Jiang bumped into each other, trying to catch the ball. Then they started shouting and yelling, and it turned into a horrible quarrel.

To be honest, it was Su‘s fault but Li was also to blame ----they were not calm enough and both said some really mean things. They cared too much about winning and losing. As a matter of fact, blocking, pushing and bumping are just part of a tough game.

To avoid such conflicts, we should be kind to one another, which is essential to enjoying a harmonious life. It is also a virtue to forgive and forget, especially in such a competitive and stressful society. Instead of blaming each other, we should communicate more and put ourselves in others‘ place.

Don‘t be self-centered and try to be considerate. We must learn to handle conflicts calmly and wisely.

According to the US government, wind farms off the Pacific coast could produce 900 gig watts of electricity every year.Unfortunately,the water there is far too deep for even the tallest windmills(see picture)to touch bottom. An experiment under way off the coast of Norway,however,could help put them anywhere.

The project, called Hywind,is the world‘s first large-scale deepwater wind turbine(涡轮发电机).Although it uses a fairly standard 152-ton,2.3-megawatt

turbine, Hywind represents totally new technology. The

turbine will be fixed 213 feet above the water on a floating spar(see picture),a technology

Hywind‘s creator,the Norwegian company StatoilHydro,has developed recently. The steel spar, which is filled with stones and goes 328 feet below the sea surface, will be tied to the ocean floor by three cable(缆索)；these will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbine from

moving up and down in the waves.Hywind‘s stability(稳定性)in the cold and rough sea would prove that even the deepest corners of the ocean are suitable for wind power. If all goes according to plan, the turbine will start producing electricity six miles off the coast of southwestern Norway as early as September.

To produce electricity on a large scale, a commercial wind farm will have to use bigger turbines than Hywind does, but it‘s difficult enough to balance such a large turbine so high on a floating spar in the middle of the ocean. To make that turbine heavier, the whole spar‘s to design a new kind of wind turbine, one whose gearbox(变速箱) sits at sea level rather than behind the blades (see picture )

Hywind is a test run, but the benefits for perfecting floating wind-farm technology could be extremely large. Out at sea, the wind is often stronger and steadier than close to shore, where all existing offshore windmills are planted. Deep-sea farms are invisible from land, which helps overcome the windmill-as-eyesore objection. If the technology catches on, it will open up vast areas of the planet‘s surface to one of the best low-carbon power sources available.

Shay asked, ―Do you think they‘ll let me play?‖ Shay‘s father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son, mentally and physically disabled, were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence.

Shay‘s father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much. The boy looked around and said, ―We‘re losing by six runs (分) and the game is in the eighth inning (局).I guess he can be on our team and we‘ll try to put him in to bat in the final inning.

Shay struggled over to the team‘s bench and put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in heart. The boys saw the father‘s joy at his son being accepted.

In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay‘s team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the final inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously joyful just to be in the game and on the field. In the bottom of the final inning, Shay‘s team scored again. Now, Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. Would they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?

Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible. The first pitch (投) came and Shay missed. The pitcher again again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in , Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.

A

Usually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of current answers. That question is ―What‘s your name?‖ Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.

Have you ever wondered about people‘s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean? People‘s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.

Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means ―bright‖; Beatrice means ―one who gives happiness‖; Donald means ―world ruler‖; Leonard means ―as brave as a lion‖.

The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook(小溪)；someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.

Other early surnames came from people‘s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter — a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter —a person who made pots and pans.

The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter‘s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.

Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.

Some family names were made by adding something to the father‘s name. English-speaking people added –s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family‘s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O‘Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.

56. Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?

A. Places where people lived. B. People‘s characters. C. Talents that people possessed. D. People‘s occupations.

57. According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _______.

[来源学科网ZXXK]

2009年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（江苏卷）

A. owned or drove a cart B. made things with metals C. made kitchen tools or contains D. built houses and furniture

58. Suppose and English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named _______.

A. Beatrice Smith B. Leonard Carter C. George Longstreet D. Donald Greenwood

59. The underlined word ―descendants‖ in the last paragraph means a person‘s _____

A. later generations B. friends and relatives C. colleagues and partners D. later sponsors B

It is reported that conservation groups in North America have been arguing about the benefits and dangers of wolves. Some groups believe wolves should be killed. Other people believe wolves must be protected so that they will not disappear from the wilderndss(荒野) For Killing Wolves

In Alaska，the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago，because hunters were killing hundreds 0f them forsport .However．1aws were established to protect the wolves from sportsmen and people who catch the animals for their fur．So the woIf population has greatly increased. Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply．

A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family. People in the wilderness also hunt deer for

food．Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by changes in the wilderness plant life．When the deer can‘t find enough food，they die．

If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer，their prey(猎物)will disappear some day．And the wolves will．too．So we must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance the ecology．If we killed more wolves，we would save them and their prey from dying out．We’d also save some farm animals．

In another northern state，wolves attack cows and chickens for food．Farmers want the

government to send biologists to study the problem．They believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small woIf population． Against Killing Wolves

If you had lived long ago，you would have heard many different stories about the dangerous

wolf．According to most stories，hungry wolves often kill people for food．Even today，the stories of the“big bad woIf'＂will not disappear．

2009年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（江苏卷）

But the fact is wolves are afraid of people．and they seldom travel in areas where there is a human smell．When wolves eat other animals，they usually kill the very young．or the sick and injured .The strongest survive .No kind of animal would have survived through the centuries if the weak members had lived．And has always been a law of nature

Although some people say it is good sense to kill wolves，we say it is nonsense!Researchers have found wolves and their prey living in balance．The wolves keep the deer population from becoming too large,and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life．

The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used bv people．Even if

wilderness land is not used directly for human needs．the wolves can‘t always find enough food .So they travel to the nearest source,which is often a farm．Then there is danger．The“big bad wolf”has arrived! And everyone knows what happens next．

60．According to the passage，some people in North America favor killing wolves for all the following reasons EXCET that ．

A．there are too many wolves B．they kill large numbers deer

C．they attack cows and chickens for food D．they destroy the wilderness plant life 61．Some people are against killing wolves because ． A．wolves help to keep the ecological balance in the wildemess B．there is too small a wolf population in the wilderness C．there are too many deer in the wilderness

D．wolves are afraid of people and never attack people

62．According to those against killing wolves，when wolves eat other animals， ．

A．they never eat strong and healthy ones B．they always go against the law of nature

C．they might help this kind of animals survive in nature D．they disturb the ecological balance in the wilderness

63．The last sentence“And everyone knows what happens next”implies that in such cases ． A．farm animals will be in danger and have to be shipped away B．woIves will kill people and people will in turn kill them C．wolves wilI find enough food sources on famls D．people will leave the areas where wolves can live

The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result, all students must 36 sixty hours of service learning, 37 they will not receive a diploma. Service learning is academic learning that also helps the community. 38 of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student. 39 a service experience, students must keep a journal（日志）and then write a 40 about what they have learned.

Supporters claim that there are many 41 of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think 42 their own interests and become 43 of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that 44 responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team. 45 , students can explore possible careers 46 service learning.

For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month. 47 there are many benefits, opponents (反对者) 48 problems with the new requirement. First, they 49 that the main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills. Because service learning is time-consuming, students spend 50 time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe

that forcing students to work without 51 goes against the law. By requiring service, the school takes away an individual's freedom to choose.

In my view, service learning is a great way to 52 to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers. 53 , I don' t believe you should force people to help others—the 54 to help must come from the heart. I think the best 55 is one that gives students choices: a student should be able to choose sixty hours of independent study or sixty hours of service.

When women sit together to watch a movie on TV, they usually talk simultaneously（同时的）about

- 44 -

2009年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（江苏卷）

a variety of subjects, including children, men, careers and what' s happening in their lives. When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can either talk or watch the screen -- they can' t do both -- and they don' t understand that women can. Besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships -- not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen. During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally. Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to relate the facts.

Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.

There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls' mothers talked them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents res the brain bias of their children. Since a girl' s brain is better organized to send and receive speech , we therefore talk to them more. Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short grunts in reply.

56.While watching TV with others, women Usually talk a lot because they ________. A. are afraid of awkward silence with their families and friends B. can both talk and watch the screen at the Same time C. think they can have a good time and develop relationships D. have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands

57. After a vacation with her girlfriend, a woman would talk to her again on the phone for hours in order to ________.

A. experience the happy time again B. keep a close tie with her

C. recommend her a new scenic spot D. remind her of something forgotten 58. What does the author want to tell us most?

A. Women' s brains are better organized for language and communication B. Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men. C. Men do not like talking because they rely more on facts.
