across the western and southern part of the continent in a broad arc.the mountain range starts near the mediterranean sea on the border between france and italy.then it curves north and eastward through northern italy，switzerland，liechtenstein，southern germany，austria and slovenia.the alps are about 1,000 km long，and the broadest section is over 260 km wide.the highest peak，mont blanc，situated on the border between france，italy and switzerland，rises 4,807 meters above sea level.other famous peaks are the monte rosa，the matterhorn，the grobglockner and the zugspitze.millions of years ago the area of todays alps was covered by a large sea that separated europe and africa.the southern land mass started moving northwards.this movement folded rock layers at the bottom of the sea.heat and pressure transformed the rock and pushed the_material upwards.today these regions are the highest parts of the alps.most of the newly formed rock is granite and gneiss，but many ranges consist of limestone which also formed on the seabed.during the ice age，which started about a million years ago，the alps were covered with a thick blanket of snow.glaciers moved down valleys and made them wider and deeper.as they moved they took rock and other material with them，creating moraines(冰碛)when glaciers started to melt water filled up behind these natural dams and created the alpine lakes we know today.the largest of these glaciers is the aletsch in switzerland which reaches a length of about 25 km.the longest glacier of the eastern alps is the 8 km long pasterze，at the foot of the grobglockner.the ice and snow of the alpine regions helped create the large rivers of today：the rhine，rhone，danube and the po.60from the first two paragraphs we know the alps _.aare about 260 km widebstretch across the western part of africacare the youngest mountain system in the worlddhave the highest peak 4,807 meters above sea level61what does the underlined phrase “this material” in

_.abefore the ice age bduring the ice agecbecause of seas movement dbecause of glaciers movement63from the passage we know danube is _.aa kind of rock bone of the alps famous peakscthe name of a river done of the largest glaciers60d由第二段的第二句话可知阿尔卑斯山脉的最高峰勃朗峰海拔4807米。61b根据该句的结构“heat and pressure transformed the rock and pushed the material upwards.”可知该词语指代前面的the rock，故选b项。62a根据第三、四段的首句，可以推断出阿尔卑斯山脉是在冰河世纪之前形成的，故选a项。63c由文章最后一段可知danube(多瑙河)是由阿尔卑斯山脉的冰雪融化形成的大河之一。*结束 (2012南京学情调查)there is a boy called bill in my gym class who has unbearable yellow teeth that almost make everyone feel unpleasant.recently another boy told bill that he should have his teeth scaled(刮除牙石)bill was crushed.if the other boy had been thinking，he would have realized that there is a better way to handle such a situation.he could have dealt with it with tact(得体)he could have showed this hurtful truth in a more careful，sensitive waythats tact.if a person isnt sensitive to anothers feelings，there is no way he or she can be tactful.yesterday，my 5yearold brother proudly announced that he had cleaned the screen of our television set.unfortunately，he used furniture polish，which produced an oily film on the television screen.my mother smiled and thanked him for his efforts and then showed how to clean the screen properly.her sensitivity enables my brother to keep his selfrespect.yet，sensitivity alone does not make tact.“tactfulness” also requires “truthfulness”doctors，for example，must be truthful.if a patient has just been disabled in an accident，a tactful doctor will tell the truth but express it with sensitivity.the doctor may try to give the patient hope by telling him curing techniques under study or about advanced equipment now available.doctors must use tact with patients relatives as well.instead of bluntly saying，“your husband is disabled，” a doctor might say，“im sorry，but your husband has lost feeling in his legs and.”tact should not be confused with trickery.trickery occurs when a nurse is about to give a patient an injection(注射) and says，“this wont hurt a bit.”instead of trickery，the nurse might guarantee the patient that the discomfort of the injection is a small thing compared to the benefits of it.it would also be thoughtful for the nurse to tell the patient about some of these benefits.tact is a wonderful skill to have，and tactful people are usually admired and respected.without tact our society would become an intolerable place to live in.64the underlined word “crushed” in the first paragraph probably means _.asurprised bcheated cregretful dupset65according to the author，his mother was _ to his brother.asensitive and tactful bsensitive but not tactful enoughctruthful but not tactful enough dsensitive but

patients.64d第一段主要讲述当另一个男孩让比尔刮除牙石时，比尔对他这种直白的话语感到不高兴。第一段最后一句“he could have showed this hurtful truth.”也是答案提示，故选d项。65a作者的妈妈先感谢了作者的弟弟，然后教他清洗电视屏幕的正确方法，既保住了他的自尊，又让他认识到了自己的错误之处，所以是“同情理解的”和“机智的”故a项正确。66c从最后一段最后一句“without tact our society would become an intolerable place to live in.”可知答案。【东北三省2013三模】d.statuses are wonderful human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to determine where we fit in society. in our everyday lives whenever we meet people, we always try to judge them in terms of their statuses. for example, we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian, whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman and so on.our statuses often vary with the people we meet, and change through life. most of us can, at very high speed, assume(表现出) the different statuses that various situations require. much of social
