Americans celebrate Thanksgiving each year on the fourth Thursday in November. On that day, families get together, eat a big meal and express their thanks for their good things they own.
Since American Thanksgiving is on a Thursday,
many people have joined the "Thankful Thursday" movement. On every
Thursday throughout the year, they think about what they should be thankful
for. These things aren't always necessarily "big" and usually can be
called "small”. They can be as simple as talking with friends or getting a
seat on a crowded bus.
When we look for things to
be thankful for, we focus on what we have. We don't think about what we don't
have. We feel happier and more satisfied and may realize how truly blessed we
are. Usually, we want more and don't realize how much we already have.
Would you like to join the
movement and have a Thankful Thursday every week for the month of November? You
may surprise yourself with how much you have to be grateful for!

I was watching Sportscenter last night when one of those “human interest” stories came on and really caught my attention.
The story was about a 27-year-old professional Bass Fisherman named Clay Dyer. At first, they played it off as another guy trying to make the cut on the Bassmaster tour until they showed a picture of him. No legs, no arm, or rather, he has only 1/3 of his right arm. That’s all that he has.
It was such an amazing story that I was wondering what this guy could do. Growing up, he learned to play baseball and basketball, but found that fishing was his true calling. And he does it all on his own. He holds the fishing pole under his chin and uses that and his stub (残端) arm to cast and reel in(收进) the fish. He uses his teeth to help him unhook fish. He ties his own hooks or lures on with his mouth, never really asking anyone else to help. Clay Dyer even knows how to swim. Since his body can’t produce enough sweat on its own, he has to take a dip in the lake every few hours to keep cool. He dives in just like anyone else, then somehow treads water(踩水) with his stub arm, then, with a little help, pulls himself back up into the boat and goes on fishing.
Clay Dyer has never looked for others’ pity, nor has he allowed his physical disabilities to prevent him from becoming a professional fisherman. His motto for life is "If I can, you can." He refuses to use special equipment, saying, "I want to do it with one hand the way they do it with two."
56. Why did the author become interested in Clay Dyer?
A. He assumed Dyer was living happily.
B. He took great pity on this disabled man.
C. He wanted to know what Dyer could do.
D. He thought that Dyer could do nothing.
57. While fishing, Dyer dives into the lake from time to time _________.
A. to change the lures（鱼饵） B. to do some exercise
C. to cast a fishing line D. to cool himself down
58. We learn from the last paragraph that _________.
A. Dyer aims to behave like a normal person
B. physical disabilities fail to destroy his faith
C. special equipment is allowed when fishing
D. it seems easy for Clay Dyer to go fishing
59. Which word best describes Clay Dyer’s personality?
A. Diligent. B. Inspiring. C. Faithful. D. Stubborn.
B
October 15th 2008 is the first Global Handwashing Day, whose goal is to create a culture of hand washing with soap. Activities are planned in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap.
150,000 bars of soap were given to schools in
Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at critical moments such as after using the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food.
The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germs(细菌). They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub it into all areas, including under the fingernails. Rub for at least 20 seconds.
Then, wash your hands well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth or wave them in the air.
They say soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing. Soap also helps to break up the grease(油脂) and dirt that hold most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell, which encourages people to wash again.
They say washing with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any vaccine or medicine. It could help reduce cases of diarrhea(腹泻) by almost half. And it could reduce deaths from pneumonia(肺炎) and other breathing infections by one-fourth.
Diarrhea is the second leading cause of child deaths, killing more than 1,500,000 children a year. Pneumonia is the leading cause, killing about 2,000,000 children under five each year. Hand washing can also prevent the spread of other diseases.
When people get germs on their hands, they can infect themselves by touching their eyes, nose or mouth. Then they can infect others.
60. What does the underlined word “the event” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. 150,000 bars of soap were given to students.
B. Over twenty countries organized different activities.
C. October 15th 2008 becomes the Global Handwashing Day
D. Millions of people in the developing world wash their hands.
61. Which of the following situation doesn’t belong to a critical moment?
A. Before having dinner.
B. When cleaning a baby.
C. After using the toilet.
D. While washing the dishes
62. Why is it necessary for people to wash their hands with soap?
A. To prevent the spread of disease.
B. To remove disease-causing germs
C. To get rid of the dirt the hands hold.
D. To make their hands smell pleasant.
63. What can we learn from the text?
A. 1,500,000 children die of Pneumonia each year.
B. Soap plays an important role in removing germs.
C. Washing hands saves 1,00,000 children from Diarrhea.
D. Breathing infections cause the largest number of child death.
C
New software is able to analyze exactly how many hairs there are in a patch of skin and could help in testing the effectiveness of baldness(秃头) treatments and depilatory(脱毛的) creams, say Australian researchers.
Researchers from CSIRO Mathematical and
Information Sciences in
The software, developed with a
"Up to now they were counting the number of hairs that survived after treatment by hand. That's hard work and it's difficult because you may count a hair twice or you may miss it." he said.
The software relies on images captured by a small flatbed scanner(扫描仪) pressed onto the skin. Using a mathematical algorithm(算法), the software then identifies and traces each individual hair based on an understanding of a hair's unique features, such as its relative straightness.
The software is able to distinguish between hairs and other features on the skin such as wounds or moles(痣).
"Our skin irregularities(不规则) make it difficult to say this is a hair or this is a mole," Dr Vallotton said.
Comparison between earlier and later images can also determine if hair is growing quickly or slowly, he says.
Unfortunately, to check the accuracy of the software, the researchers still had to adopt the old-fashioned method of counting hairs, helped by volunteers from neighboring labs who put their skins on the line for science.
"We had 12 volunteers, mostly from neighboring labs, and we acquired images of hair before and after treatment," Dr Vallotton said.
To ensure an accurate count, the individual hairs had to be marked off as they were counted, but after such a laborious process, the researchers were pleased to discover the software results were comparable to the manual(手工的) count.
Dr Vallotton says the software could also be useful in testing the effectiveness of balding(秃头的) treatments and counting or tracing substances other than hairs, that are long and thin and otherwise difficult to image.
64. What do we know about the new software?
A. It has replaced human labor completely. B. It is mainly used to detect hair problems.
C. It can be used for develop new medicine. D. It can be used to test medical treatments.
65. What plays a key role in counting the number of hairs with the software?
A. A scanner. B. A calculator.
C. A hair's unique feature. D. A mathematical algorithm.
66. What did the 12 volunteers do in the experiment?
A. They counted the hairs by hand. B. They divided the hairs into parts.
C. They controlled laborious process. D. They offered their hair for experiment.
67. Which is the best title of the text?
A. Do you think it is possible to count hairs?
B. New software makes counting hairs easy.
C. Australians find new treatments for baldness.
D. New software is found in

How to Make the Most of Your Time
Time management is important in our daily
life. There never seems to be enough hours in the day to accomplish all you
need to do. Here are some tips that might be of some help to you.
1. Set up a plan. Go for a week at a time, and prioritize the most important ones. Include things you want
to accomplish. Focus mostly on the things that are important to you.
2. Control your stress. No matter what kind of pressure mounts on you, try to keep cool. Stressing out can lead to an early breakdown, which is definitely counter-productive when you have a list of things to do. It's easier to take a 10-minute break and cool off than work all week with built up stress.
3. Shut your door. When working under a schedule, perform your important tasks with your door shut to get them done. This will ensure a better quality time to get what needs to be done, done.
4. Focus on one thing at
a time. Forget trying to multi-task! You will lose concentration, and it
will take you longer to accomplish what you set out to do.
5. Just say "no." If you are constantly interrupted, and you
really don't have the time to help out, just say "no." You're only
one person, and you can't save the world by yourself!
6. Stop wasting time on the phone. While talking on the phone, keep your
conversations short, and to the point and you'll waste much less time.
7. Be realistic. You can only do what you can do. Don't set out to
accomplish the impossible. Do your best, but keep realistic expectations of
yourself.
8. Relax. The most important thing is remember to take time to relax, and
regroup. You need a break every now and then to keep working efficiently. Even
if it's a 10-minute walk, get away from your list and get refreshed.
As families today get busier
and busier, it's important to your own mental health to keep things on track.
Don't delay; get your life in order now.
68. What does the underlined word “prioritize” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. choose something by thinking carefully
B. recognize the difference between things
C. put many things in order of importance
D. get rid of something that is unwanted
69. We should avoid stressing out because ____________.
A. it may cause us to fail to work normally
B. it may limit the speed to get things done
C. we don’t have enough energy to keep working
D. we are supposed to have a break while working

北京先知文化中心2009届高三模拟测试试题(一)
1―5: CABCA 6-10:BABCA 11-15:BACBA 16-20:CBCBA
21. B. 考查冠词。第一空表示“一位国际明星”，应填an，第二空为固定词组, achieve a balance between her career and family意为“把事业和家庭更好地结合起来” ，因此填a。
23. D. 考查谓语动词的形式。句意为：专家称，人衰老的速度因人而异。衰老通常受多因素的影响。空白处的动词应与主句的动词和从句的第二个谓语的动词形式一致，即用一般现在时。因从句的主语是the rate，故谓语用varies。
24. C. 考查状语从句连词的选择。句意为：当Ashley在百老汇首次公演的时候，她全家都来观看。根据前后句逻辑关系，空白处应填When。
25. B. 考查情态动词辨析。can 意为“会，能，能够”，表示一种能力。例如：Even a small personal computer can store vast amounts of information. might“可能”，表示某事发生可能性很小，而shall和will不能表示能力。
26. D. 考查代词辨析。句意为：史上最早的一场选美比赛于一八八八年在比利时举行。虽然世人对那次比赛了解不多，但这个构想开始风行。空白处填little表示人们对选美比赛不太了解，知道的内容不多。
27. A. 考查名词性从句.在 doubt 后面带有同位语从句, 因含有“是否”之意, 故应填whether。
28. C. 考查谓语动词。句意为：经过七次成功的飞行之后，人们估计中国下次发射的宇宙飞船神州八号的飞行任务是为建立太空试验室铺平道路。句式be expected to do sth“人们预计某事将要发生”，
29. A. 考查名词辨析。resource”资源”,natural resources指“自然资源” source“来源, 出处；河流的源头, 发源地”。power“力量，权力, 势力; 能力,体力”。energy“能量, 能源；精力，活力, 干劲”。
