9.Family Photo Competition:The Winners!
Adult winner:Anna Marriage,42,from Hertfordshire
This is just one photograph from a huge collection I have of my four children growing up.It was taken with a camera fastened to my husband's chest.I think it conveys all the joy and spirit of our family while also being wonderfully creative and powerfully visual.
Adult runner-up:Chris Evans,49,from London
This photo was taken on the beach of Norfolk.We've been going there as a family for the last six years-the kids always look forward to a traditional holiday with sandy beaches,picnics and ice cream.This picture has our three children playing in a sand hole on the beach.It took them less time to dig the hole than it would to complete a level of Sonic the Hedgehog-a video game-but they had twice as much fun!
Under-18s winner:Rhine Cunningham,17,from Colchester
I thought up the idea while watching my dog sit near our boots,wanting to go for a walk.It took quite a few attempts to get her to stay still,but I finally got this one.I really like this photo because it looks as if my dog is saying,"Can we go for a walk now?"
Under-18s runner-up:Hope Simpson,13,from County Durham
This is a photo of me,my mum and dad,my brother and our dog.I took it with my cell phone.It's a special picture because it was the first time we'd been able to go out for a walk in over a year-I was recovering from CRPS(复杂性局部疼痛综合征)and had been in a wheelchair.But my family got me through a really tough time.

21.What makes Anna Marriage's photo special?B
A.Why it was taken.
B.How it was taken.
C.When it was taken.
D.Where it was taken.

解答 21.B.推理判断题.根据第一段中的It was taken with a camera fastened to my husband's chest.I think it conveys all the joy and spirit of our family while also being wonderfully creative and powerfully visual.可知这幅作品是把相机固定在Anan Marriage丈夫的胸前拍摄的,高三英语阅读理解解析Family Photo Competition:The Winners!因此它的拍摄方式很特别,呈现出来的视角也不同寻常.故选B.
22.A. 细节理解题.由第二段中的This picture has our three children playing in a sand hole on the beach可知在Chris Evans的画中可以看到孩子在沙滩上玩耍,故选A.
23.C.细节理解题.通读全文,只有18岁以下组的两幅作品介绍中提到了宠物狗.再根据Rhine Cunningham在介绍自己作品时,以自己的宠物为主题及Hope Simpson的作品是一张全家福(This is a photo of me,my mum and dad,my brother and our dog.)可知只有Rhine Cunningham的作品是以宠物为主的.故选C.

17.When I was 12years old,I dreamed to get a signet(图章) ring.They were the"in"thing and it seemed every girl except me had one.On my 13th birthday,my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials(姓名首字母)carved into it.I was in heaven.
What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn't being"replaced".We'd been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything-so most of the"new"stuff we got was really just to replace what we'd lost.But not my ring.My ring was new.
Then,only one month later,I lost it.I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning.I was sad and searched everywhere for it.But it seemed to have disappeared.Eventually,I gave up and stopped looking for it.And two years later,we sold the house and moved away.
Years passed,and a couple of moves later,I was visiting my parents'when Mum told me that she had something for me.It wasn't my birthday,nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift-giving occasion.Mum noticed my questioning look."You'll recognize this one,"she said,smiling.
Then she handed me a small ring box.I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside.The family who had bought our house 13years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations,which included replacing the carpets.When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom,they found the ring.As it had my initials carved into it,they realized who owned the ring.They'd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother.And it still fits me.

1.The underlined word"in"in the first paragraph probably means"B".
A.available
B.fashionable
C.practical
D.renewable
2.When she got the ring back,the writer was aboutD.

14.When we hear of dangerous diseases,cancer and heart disease are often what first come to mind.Recently,a virus called Ebola has reappeared in Guinea,killing 62 people so far.It leads to high fever,bleeding and so on.Ebola can kill 90% of those infected (感染),especially in underdeveloped societies like those in Africa.
Ebola is named after the Ebola River,where it was first discovered in 1976.There are five different types of the Ebola virus,each named after where they first happened:Sudan,Ivory Coast,Reston,Bundibugyo,and Zaire.The deadliest of the five,Zaire,was responsible for the 2012outbreak,and is believed to be attacking Guinea.
Ebola is naturally found in fruit bats,which pass on the virus to other animals by biting or sucking on their blood.Humans who are suffering from the Ebola infection might have touched the bodily fluids (体液) of the infected animals.Once infected,a human becomes a carrier of the deadly virus.
Since we live in an interconnected world,where the situation in one country can affect us all,the effects of Ebola are huge:damaging trade relations,affecting foreign visitors,and weakening entire countries.Already the Guinea virus is spreading fast with a few cases spotted in Conakry-the capital city of Guinea,far away from the origin of the virus.It is feared that the disease may have already reached neighboring Liberia and Sierra Leone,too.
Unfortunately,there are no disease-specific treatments for Ebola.Healthcare workers only supply the infected people with water to keep them in good condition.Since there have been many cases of nurses catching the disease from patients,they are forced to wear strict protective clothes,and in some cases,not even allowed to get close to the infected.The fact that there is no cure for the Ebola virus is what makes the outbreak a challenging one to control.

29.From the text we know thatB.
A.Ebola is naturally found in fruit
B.Ebola is a highly infectious virus
C.Ebola is a newly discovered disease
D.Ebola is recently controlled in Guinea
30.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?D
A.The causes of Ebola.
B.The origin of Ebola.
C.The treatment for Ebola.
D.The influences of Ebola.
31.In Ebola infected areas,healthcare workersA.
A.face the danger of catching virus
B.take measures to protect the nurses
C.give water and medicine to the patients
D.do whatever they can to save the infected
32.The text probably comes fromA.
A.an English newspaper
B.a tourist guide
C.a safety brochure
D.a medical report.

1.While I was teaching in China,l became interested in acupuncture(针灸).It was after returning from China and witnessing how successful it had been that I reached the decision to become an acupuncturist myself.I was lucky to discover that the town where I lived had a famous college of traditional acupuncture.
Alternative medicine such as acupuncture is particularly important for me because I firmly believe that it works on the level of body,mind and spirit.This is very different from Western medicine which is supposed to work only on the body.When a person is ill,it is believed that there's something in their life wh ich is putting their energy levels out of balance.What alternative therapies(疗法)try to do is help to gradually push that energy back into balance.The result is that any disease present might naturally disappear as it cannot survive when energies are balanced.
I've treated a wide range of people for various conditions,for example people suffering from stress and anxiety.To acquire a qualification in acupuncture,I took a course that lasted three years.I had to go to the college about one weekend in three.I also had a large amount of homework and practical work to do,which I did two or three evenings a week.This involved locating points on different people.As you can imagine,this isn't straightforward as people are of different sizes and have differently shaped bodies.
In the future I hope to set up an alternative health clinic which will involve myself as an acupuncturist but perhaps other people as well.I'd like to work with people who provide treatments such as rubbing (按摩) and pressing people's feet in a special way to help them relax and feel well.I'd like to set it up somewhere in the countryside,where people could feel free from the stress of life.

24.The author decided to learn acupunctureC.
A.when he was teaching in China
B.when he was studying in college
C.after he came back to his mother country
D.after he discovered an acupuncture school
25.What does the author think of acupuncture′?B
A.It prevents disease.
B.It treats people as a whole.
C.It has an immediate effect                  
D.It helps improve people's lives.
26.The acupuncture course the author took wasA.
A.time-consuming and challenging        
B.learner-centered and effective
C.difficult but interesting                      
D.painful but helpful
27.What do the underlined words"other people"in the last paragraph refer to?B
A.Other acupuncturists
B.Other alternative therapists.
C.Other doctors who use Western medicine.
D.Other people who want to escape from stress.

18.Thousands of people impact all aspects of our lives*be it the weatherman at the TV studio in a neigh boy ring city,or the technician at a phone company across the continent,or the woman in Tobago who picks the mangoes for your fruit Scilad.Every day.intentionally or unintentionally,we make a large number of connections with people around the world.
Our personal growth and evolution (and the evolution of societies) come about as a result of connecting with our fellow humans,whether as a band of young warriors setting out on a hunt or as a group of co-workers heading out to the local bakery after work on Friday,As a species (物种),we are instinctively(本能地)driven to come logether and form groups of friends,associations  and  communities,Without them,we cannot exist.
Making connections is what our  gray matter does best.It receives information from our sense and processes it by making associations.It grows quickly when it's making connections.
People do the same thing.It's a scientific fact that people who stay socially and physically active hive a longer life.This doesn't mean staying with the same  old crowd and going around on an exercise bike.It means getting out and making new friends.
When you make new connections in the outside world you make new connections in the inside world-in your brain.This keeps you young and alert (机警的)-Edward M.Hallowell,in his book Connect,cites the 1979 Alameda County Study by Dr,Lisa Berkman of the Harvard School of Health Sciences.Dr,Berkman and her team carefully looked at 7,000 people-aged 35 to 65,over a period of nine yews.Their study concludes that people who lack social and community connections are almost three times more likely to die of medical illness than those who have more contacts.And all this is independent of socioeconomic status and health practices such as smoking,olcoholic beverage consumption or physical activity!
Other people can also help you take care of your needs and desires,Whatever it is you'd like in this life-romance,a  dream  job,ticket to the Rose Bowl-the chances are pretty high that you'll  need someone's help to get it.If people like you.they will be willing to give you their time and their efforts.And the better the quality of harmonious relationship you have with them,the higher the level of their cooperation.

61.Which of the following is laid great stress on in the passage?C
A.Our fate is decided  by the companions we keep.
B.People connect with each other out of necessity,
C.Contacts between people are essential for our life.
D.Conned ion is established when we work together.
62.The underlined part"gray matter"in Paragaph 3 refers to"D".
A.nerve

A.a wonder  cure for deadly diseases
B.a vital function of connecting
C.a great encouragament to smokers
D.a practical way to connection
64.Which of the following can be Ihc proper litle  for the passage?A
