Bedford Castle is one of those structures and, although it is nowhere near its former glory today, it is an essential attraction to visit if you really want to grasp what its heritage means to the county! Bedford Castle was built initially as a fortress to help protect Bedfordshire on the south of the River Ouse after the people in the local towns and villages had already been subdued. It was set up in 919 on the orders of King Edward the Elder, although it was destroyed by a Danish invasion years later. This was when it was rebuilt as the castle, of which the ruins exist today! There is a long history behind the castle that involves several kings as a result of the Duke of Bedford being an ardent(热心的)royalist(保皇主义者). Bedford Castle repeatedly offered the kings of England refuge against various storms in the form of onslaughts(攻击)from abroad and various domestic threats against them, and this is where much of its fame lies, even though the castle itself is no longer there. There are various tours of the ruins that you can take when you visit though and all of the guides are extremely knowledgeable. They will happily tell you tales of the mound(土丘)and the castle that preceded it. The mound is open to the public all year round and is a proud part of the areas heritage. It is recommended by the majority of people that you visit Bedfordshire because it tells you much about why the county is currently how it is. You can view the river from the mound and the surrounding settlements as well as the remains of the castle, and every moment spent there is worth it so enjoy the history and the very nature of the county itself! 【文章大意】本文向大家介绍了英国的一个旅游胜地贝德福德城堡。1.

BThe ankle.CThe knee. DThe hand.27How many women climbers in America got injured while climbing a rock between 1991 and 2008?AAbout 40,000. BAbout 30,000.CAbout 20,000. DAbout 10,000.28The severity of climbersfallrelated injures is mainly related to _.Athe height of the fallBthe climbers ageCthe climbers health conditionsDthe climbers climbing experience29The underlined word “demonstrates” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “_”Ademands BpreventsCproves Ddescribes30The purpose of the passage is to _.Ashow that rock climbingrelated injuries have increasedBtell readers rock climbing is an adventurous sportCwarn readers of the danger of rock climbingDcall on doctors to increase injury prevention efforts26B细节理解题。根据第二段“The ankle was the most common body part to be injured (40 percent)”可知踝关节是最容易受伤的部位，因此答案是B。27D推理判断题。第二段首句说从1991到2008年间，美国大约有4万人因为爬山时受伤而接受治疗，本段最后一句又提到“women took up a quarter of the injuries”，可知答案是D。28A细节理解题。根据第三段“The severity of fallrelated injuries had a lot to do with the height of the fall.”可知摔下来的高度是决定受伤程度的主要因素，因此A项正确。29C词义猜测题。根据语境，爬山者住院率高于参加其他体育和娱乐活动的人，这“证明”了爬山者要更加注意预防受伤。C项意思最合适。30A作者意图题。文章是一篇说明文，主要是告诉读者与爬山运动相关的伤害增加了，因此A项是最佳选项。【2014高考英语四川省成都市一模试题】 DBy far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study. Many students muddle along , doing a bit of this subject or that, as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.Few students work to a set timetable. They say that if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it, or would have to change it frequently, since they can never predict from one day to the next what their activities will be.No doubt some students take much more kindly to a regular routine than others. There are many who shy away from a self-controlled weekly timetable, and dislike being tied down to a fixed program of work. Many able students state that they work in cycles. When they become interested in a topic they work on it attentively for three or four days at a time. On other days they avoid work completely. It has to be admitted that we do not fully understand the motivation to work. Most people over 25 years of age have become used to a work routine, and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important areas of their work. The “ tough-minded ” school of workers doesnt fully accept the idea that good work can only be done naturally, under the influence of inspiration.Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “ freedom ”. Freedom from control and discipline leads to unhappiness rather than to “ self-expression ” or “ personality development ”. Our society insists on regular habits, timekeeping and punctuality ( being on time ), and whether we like it or not, if we mean to make our way in society, we have to meet its demands.43 The most widespread problem in applying oneself to study is _ .A. changing from one subject to anotherB. the failure to keep to a set timetable of workC. the unwillingness to work out a systematic planD. working on a subject only when one feels like it44. Which of the following is TRUE ?A. Many students are not interested in using a self-controlled timetable .B. Many students dont like being told to study to a fixed timetable .C. Most people over 25 years of age dont work to a set timetable .D. Tough-minded people agree that good work is done naturally .45. The underlined part “ as the fit takes them ” means _ .A. when they have the energyB. when they are in the moodC. when they feel fitD. when they find conditions suitable46. A suitable title for the passage might be _ .A. Attitudes to StudyB. A Study PlanC. The Difficulties of StudyingD. Study and Self-discipline【参考答案】43-46: BABD【广东省2012届高三考前冲刺卷(二)】BDid you ever look up at the moon and think you saw a mans face there？When the moon is round and full，the shadows of the moon mountains and the lines of the moon valleys sometimes seem to show a giant nose and mouth and eyes.At least，some people think so.If there were a man on the mooninstead of mountains and valleys that just look like the face of a manwhat would he be like?He would not be like anyone you know.He would not be like anyone anybody knows.If the man on the moon were bothered by too much heat or cold the way Earth people are，he could not stay on the moon.The moon becomes very，very hot.It becomes as hot as boiling water.And the moon becomes very，very cold.It becomes colder than ice.Whatever part of the moon the sun shines on is hot and bright.The rest of the moon is cold and dark.If the man on the moon had to breathe to stay alive，he couldnt live on the moon because theres no air there.(Hed have to carry an oxygen tank，as astronauts do.)Theres no food on the moon，either.Nothing growsnot even weeds.If the man on the moon liked to climb mountains，he would be very happy.There are many high places there，such as the raised land around the holes，or craters，of the moon.Some of these rims are as tall as Earths highest mountains.But if the man on the moon liked to swim，he would be unhappy.There is no water on the moonjust dust and rock.When you think of what its like on the moon，you may wonder why it interests our scientists.One reason is that the moon is Earths nearest neighborit is the easiest place in space to get to.Going back and forth between the moon and Earth，astronauts will get a lot of practice in space travel.Things learned on moon trips will be of great help to astronauts who later take long，long trips to some of the planets.Scientists are also interested in the moon because it has no air.The air that surrounds Earth cuts down the view of the scientists who look at the stars through telescopes.A telescope on the moon would give them a clearer，closer view of the stars.31Which of the following is the best title of the passage?AThe MoonBThe Man on the MoonCResearch on the MoonDWhat Is It Like on the Moon?32What is the reas
