中 选出最佳选项 并在答题 纸上将该选项标号涂黑 A Twenty years ago I drove a taxi for a living When I arrived at 2 30 a m the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window Under these circumstances many drivers would just honk 按喇叭 once or twice wait a minute then drive away 稽阳联考英语试题卷 第 4 页 共 12 页 But I had seen too many poor people who depended on taxis as their only means of transportation This passenger might be someone who needed my assistance I reasoned to myself So I walked to the door and knocked After a long pause the door opened A small woman in her 80s stood before me When we got in the taxi she gave me an address then asked Could you drive through downtown It s not the shortest way I answered quickly Oh I don t mind she said I m in no hurry I m on my way to a hospice 晚期病人收容所 I looked in the rearview mirror Her eyes were glistening I don t have any family left She continued The doctor says I don t have very long time I quietly reached over and shut off the meter What route would you like me to take I asked For the next two hours we drove through the city She showed me the building where she had once worked as an elevator operator We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newlyweds She had me pull up in front of a furniture warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she d gone dancing as a girl As the first hint of sun rose from the horizon she suddenly said I m tired Let s go now We drove in silence to the hospice When I was leaving she insisted on paying me but I refused Instead I bent down and gave her a hug She held onto me tightly You gave an old woman a little moment of joy she said Thank you I squeezed her hand and then walked into the dim morning light Behind me a door shut It was the sound of the closing of a life I didn t pick up any more passengers that shift I drove aimlessly lost in thought What if that woman had gotten an angry driver or one who was impatient to end his shift What if I had refused to take the run or had honked once and then driven away On a quick review I don t think that I have done anything more important in my life We re conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments But great moments often catch us unaware beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one 41 The driver didn t just honk but knocked at the door and waited because A he didn t want to miss any chance to make money B he knew the woman was waiting for him C he thought maybe someone was in need of his taxi service D taxis was the only means of transportation for the poor 42 Why did the old woman ask the driver to drive through downtown A She was in no hurry and had some time to kill B She didn t want to get to the hospice before daybreak C She wanted to see some places before her life ended D There were many places of interest worth her visit 43 It can be learned from the passage that A the driver decided not to charge the woman after they got to the hospice B the woman was afraid to go to the hospice for her last days C the woman once worked in a furniture warehouse D the driver didn t feel it a pity though he didn t earn much that shift 稽阳联考英语试题卷 第 5 页 共 12 页 44 What does the driver want to share with us by telling the story A The old are always those who need our help most B A small kind act may mean a lot to those in need C Those who offer help are the happiest in the world D Sometimes it s necessary for taxi drivers to offer free service B As I traveled for several weeks in November meeting with CEOs in different countries I got to different airports Here is what I learned as I travelled to Europe South America and Asia before returning home to Chicago Lines form in London s Heathrow Airport I arrived at the new Terminal 航站楼 5 in London s Heathrow Airport which is a modern excellent building It is filled with High Street stores and seems more like a shopping mall like the Mall of America in Minneapolis or the Galleria in Houston than a place to catch planes At T5 they have perfected the art of making you stand in long frustrating lines After you spend twenty minutes in line getting your boarding pass scanned you move to another long line to have your passport checked T5 takes the art of waiting to a new level so much so that even though I had nearly an hour to make a connecting flight 转机 I missed my connection and spent the next three hours in an airport waiting hall Heathrow views itself as a gateway to the world But you d better not be in a hurry to pass through it T5 reflects the old days of British globalization the 1800s when it took at least 80 days to get around the world Nonstop to Brazil Sao Paulo s Guarulhos International Airport one of three in the city and Brazil s busiest has 260 check in counters operates around the clock and struggles to keep up with demand It has few passengers waiting halls and relatively little shopping It s difficult to connect to the Internet Plans call for two additional terminals a third runway and an express train into the city In such a developing country Guarulhos keeps running faster but it hasn t yet caught up New Delhi Smoke First time visitors arriving at New Delhi s Indira Gandhi International Airport would be concerned about the smell that enters the aircraft as the plane is slowing down on the runway It s caused by what Delhi weather forecasters call smoke When you enter the terminal you sense the overcrowded India It seems like all 1 1 billion people are trying to get through Customs with you Heathrow has its queues Gandhi has countless human bodies pressing ahead Be prepared to wait an hour or two before you enter the country The airport reflects the backwardness of the Third World where just about everything is falling apart A new terminal is being built but like everything in India it will take what seems like forever to complete the job Charles de Gaulle International Airport Charles de Gaulle International Airport as you would suspect is beautiful Its Terminal 2 is an architectural marvel with high ceilings and lots of light Attractive though it may be it s hard to get around Try finding your way from a gate in section 2A to a gate in section 2F It s all in the same 稽阳联考英语试题卷 第 6 页 共 12 页 terminal but it feels like you are running a maze especially when Paris is not your final destination Charles de Gaulle looks great but like French high fashion it s not very functional 45 The underlined word Galleria in the 2nd paragraph probably refers to the name of A a shopping mall B High Street store C an airport D a hotel 46 What does the writer dislike most about London s Heathrow Airport A It s more like a shopping mall than an airport B He had to get his passport checked and boarding pass scanned C He had to wait in the long and slow lines D The flight he intended to take didn t take off on time 47 From the passage we can know that A You have to wait long both at Heathrow and Gandhi because of too many passengers B Guarulhos fails to meet the needs of passengers though it tries its best C there should be no trouble in finding your way at Charles de Gaulle D Heathrow lives up to its name of a gateway to the world 48 By writing the passage the writer tried to A point out the weak points of these airports B introduce the most important airports in the world C compare different airports among Europe South America and Asia D tell us airports are mirrors of the countries that build them C The Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution has just published a report on new materials and has looked at the case of nanotechnology 纳米技术 which describes the science of the very small Nanotechnology covers those man made materials or objects that are about a thousand times smaller than the microtechnology 微电子技术 we use such as the silicon chips of computers Nanotechnology gets its name from the nanometer which is a billionth of a meter There are about 600 consumer products already on the market that use nanotechnology Nanomedicine is also being developed to fight cancer and other fatal diseases The Royal Commission found no evidence of harm to health or the environment from nanomaterials but this absence of evidence is not being taken as evidence of absence In other words just because there are no apparent problems this is not to say that here is no risk now or in the future The commission is concerned about the pace at which we are inventing and adopting new nanomaterials which could result in future problems that we are ill equipped to understand or even find with current testing methods One of the problems about nanotechnology is that when we make something very small out of a well known material we may actually change the functionality of that material even if the chemical composition remains the same Indeed it is not the particle 颗粒 size that should concern us but its functionality Take gold for example which is a famously inert 惰性 substance and valuable because of it It doesn t rust or corrode because it doesn t interact with water or oxygen However a particle of gold that is between 2 and 5 nanometers in diameter becomes highly reactive This is not due to a change in chemical composition but because of a change in the physical size of the gold 稽阳联考英语试题卷 第 7 页 共 12 页 particles How can a change in size result in a change of function One reason is to do with surface area Nanoparticles have relatively a much bigger surface area It is like comparing the surface area of a basketball with the total surface area of many pea sized balls with the same weight of the single basketball The pea sized balls have a surface area many hundreds indeed thousands of times bigger than the basketball and this allows them to interact more easily with the environment It is this increased interactivity that changes their functionality and makes them potentially more dangerous to health or the environment 49 Why does the writer mention microtechnology in the first paragraph A to introduce the topic of nanotechnology B to help us better understand nanotechnology C to help us know more about microtechnology D to compare microtechnology with nanotechnology 50 The example of the gold in the last paragraph is intended to show that A gold is valuable because it is an inert substance B an inert substance like gold doesn t interact with water or oxygen C the function of gold is steady because it is an inert substance D the function of gold changes when made into something very small 51 Which process explains that there might be risks in nanotechnology A expand surface area increase interactivity change functionality cause possible dangers B expand surface area change functionality increase interactivity cause possible dangers C increase interactivity expand surface area change functionality cause possible dangers D increase interactivity change functionality expand surface area cause possible dangers 52 What does the passage mainly focus on A the introduction of nanotechnology and its wide use B the present use of nanotechnology and its future C the potential danger nanotechnology may bring us D the proposal to stop nanotechnology due to the potential danger D Well more and more companies are beginning to create products and services for teenagers The Disney Company sells the Hannah Montana television show music film and goods to teenagers and their parents You can get everything from branded lunchboxes and mobile phone covers to monthly fan magazines and clothing The High School Musical series of films is also intended for teenage audience So it s all about sales which tells us teenagers must have more money freedom and influence upon their parents than they ve ever had before Most children in the UK today get more pocket money than kids did a decade ago In spite of the economic crisis parents have more money to give than previously since parents are having 稽阳联考英语试题卷 第 8 页 共 12 页 fewer children on average than in the past In addition the divorce rate in the UK is continually rising and parents spend less time with
