They are all private institutions. Each has its own governing council, including some local businessmen and local politicians as well as a few academics. Students have to pay fees and living costs, but every student may receive from the local authority of the place where he lives a personal grant which is enough to pay his full costs, including lodging and food. Each university has its own syllabuses, and there are some quite important differences between one and another. In general the Bachelor’s degree is given to students who pass examinations at the end of three or four years of study. Bachelors’ degrees are at two levels: Honours and Pass. In some cases the Honours degree is given for intensive study and examination in one, two or three related subjects while the Pass degree may be somewhat broader. The first post-graduate degree is normally that of Master, conferred for a thesis based on at least one year’s fulltime work; the time actually taken is usually more than a year. Oxford and Cambridge are peculiar in that they give the Master of Arts degree automatically to any Bachelor who pays the necessary fees at any time after the seventh year from his first admission to the university. Oxford and Cambridge resemble each other quite closely. They have a special preeminence, but they two no longer belong to the upper and upper-middle classes as the public schools do. They are both based on colleges. These colleges are parallel and equal institutions, and none of them is connected with any particular field of study. In order to become a member of the university, a student must first be accepted as a member of a college. Each college is governed by its Fellows. And most of them were founded before 1600, and the oldest three before 1300. The biggest and most magnificent is Christ Church. Its members, with wonderful pride, habitually call it “The House”. It has educated many cabinet ministers. Colleges choose their new students mainly on academic merit, but some also admit a few men who are 4 good at sport, or sons of eminent citizens or of millionaires. 56. Because the universities in Britain are all private institutions, _________. A. students have to pay fees and living costs all by themselves B. students have to pay fees and living costs, but every student can receive a personal grant from the local authority C. students have to pay fees and living costs without any grant D. students seldom can go to university 57. Which of the following is true? A. Students can get a Master degree after examinations. B. Students can get a Master degree after finishing a thesis which usually takes a year’s part-time work. C. Every student can get a Master degree in Oxford or Cambridge after he pays the necessary fees. D. Every student can get a Master degree in Oxford or Cambridge after he pays the necessary fees at any time after the seventh year from his first admission to the university. 58. From the fourth paragraph we can know _________. A. Oxford and Cambridge used to belong to the upper and upper-middle classes B. the public schools no longer belong to the upper and upper-middle classes C. every student can be accepted as a number of a college freely D. colleges are based on Oxford and Cambridge 59. Which of the following statements is not used to describe Christ Church? A. It is the biggest and most magnificent. B. It was founded after 1600. C. It has educated many cabinet ministers. D. It is governed by its Fellows B You can be proud of yourselves, even if you can only make one or two of these green changes.

C A Gift of God One fine summer morning—it was the beginning of harvest, I remember—Mr Earnshaw came down stairs, dressed for a journey; after he had told Joseph what was to be done during the day, he turned to Hindley and Cathy, and me—for I sat eating my porridge with them—and 6 speaking to his son, he said: “Now, I'm going to Liverpool today. What shall I bring you? You may choose what you like; only small things, for I shall walk there and back; sixty miles each way, that is a long time!” Hindley named a fiddle(a kind of violin), and then he asked Miss Cathy. She was hardly six years old, but she could ride any horse in the stable. She chose a whip(鞭子). He did not forget me; for he had a kind heart, though he was rather serious sometimes. He promised to bring me a pocketful of apples and pears. Then he kissed his children good-bye and set off. The three days of his absence seemed a long while to us all. Mrs Earnshaw expected him by supper-time on the third evening. She put off the meal hour after hour. There were no signs of his coming, however. About eleven o'clock the door opened and in stepped the master. He threw himself into a chair, laughing and groaning, and told them all to stand off, for he was nearly killed. He would never again have another such walk for whatever reasons. Opening his great coat, which he held bundled up in his arms, he said: “See here, wife. I was never so beaten with anything in my life. But you must take it as a gift of God though it's as dark almost as if it came from the devil.” We crowded round him. And over Miss Cathy's head, I had a look at a dirty, ragged, black-haired child—big enough both to walk and talk—yet, when it was set on its feet, it only stared round, and repeated over and over again some strange words that nobody could understand. I was frightened, and Mrs Earnshaw was ready to throw it out of doors. She did get angry, asking why he should have brought that gipsy(吉普赛人) child into the house when they had their own kids to feed and look after? What he meant to do with it? The master tried to explain the matter though he was really half dead with tiredness. All that I could make out, among her scolding, was a story of his seeing it starving, and homeless, and almost dumb(哑的) in the streets of Liverpool where he picked it up and inquired for its owner. But not a person knew to whom it belonged. He said that as both his money and time was limited， he thought it better to take it home with him at once than run into vain expenses there. Anyway he was determined he would not leave it as he found it. Well, finally Mrs Earnshaw calmed down, and Mr Earnshaw told me to wash it, give it clean things, and let it sleep with the children. Hindley and Cathy then began searching their father's pockets for the presents he had promised them. But when Hindley drew out what had been a fiddle, crushed(压坏) to pieces in the great coat, he cried loudly. And Cathy, when she learned her father had lost her whip in attending on the stranger, showed her feeling by spitting at the gipsy child, earning herself a sound blow from Mr Earnshaw to teach her cleaner manners. (Adapted from Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte) 64. What small presents did Mr Earnshaw's children ask for? A. A fiddle and a whip. B. A horse and a whip. C. A pocketful of apples and pears D. A fiddle and some pears 65. When did Mr Earnshaw return home from Liverpool? 7 A. By supper time. B. An hour after the meal time. C. When it was getting dark. D. Not until it was nearly midnight. 66. Mr Earnshaw brought the gipsy child back home for the following reasons EXCEPT that . A. he couldn't find the parents of the starving child. B. he found that the starving child was a dumb boy. C. he couldn't afford to stay longer to look for the child's parents. D. he couldn't leave the starving child without anyone caring for it. 67. It can be inferred from the passage that . A. The title “A Gift of God” refers to something he bought in Liverpool. B. Cathy was very disappointed and she turned her anger at her father. C. Mrs Earnshaw agreed to keep the gipsy child in spite of everthing. D. Hindley was good-humoured even if he didn’t get his present. D I'm usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier on unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of there statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that today's children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children ages 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago. Why are America's kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation -- brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things -- and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place. Given that we can't turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation cope. At the top of the list is nurturing (培育) a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress. To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more sleep. Limit the amount of viral (虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. It's not just radio games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news. Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale. Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn't have to ruin your life. 8 68. What does the author mean when he says, "we can't turn the clock back"(Line 1, Para.3)? A. It's impossible to slow down the pace of change. B. The social reality children are facing cannot be changed. C. Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten. D. It's impossible to forget the past. 69. The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children is ______. A. to provide them with a safer environment B. to lower them expectations for them C. to get them more involved socially D. to set a good model for them to follow 70. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage? A. Anxiety, though unavoidable, can be coped with. B. Children’s anxiety has been enormously exaggerated. C. Children's anxiety can be eliminated with more parental care. D. Anxiety, it properly controlled, may help children become mature. 第?卷 (共两节，共35分) 第四部分 写作 第一节 任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分) 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。 注意:每空限填1个单词。 Cellphones play an important role in our society. Increased dependence on cellphones has led to a rise in the number of people who use the devices while driving. The use of cellphones contributes to the problem of inattentive driving. As many as 40 countries may limited or prohibit the use of cellphones while driving. Over the past decades, numerous studies have been conducted on driver inattention, in particular focusing on the use of cellphones. Below is a summary of some these studies. A study, published in July 2005, suggested that banning hand-held phone use will not necessarily improve safety, if drivers simply switch to hands-free phones. The study found that injury crash risk didn’t vary with types of phones . Drivers who use hands-free phones while driving are also likely to get into crashes serious enough to injure themselves. Many studies have shown that using hand-held cellphones while driving can bring a dangerous distraction. However, the theory that hands-free sets are safer has been challenged by the findings of several studies. A study from researchers at the University of Utah concludes that talking on a cellphone while driving is as dangerous as drunk driving, even if the phone is a hands-free model. An earlier study by the researchers at the university found that motorists who talked on hands-free cellphones were 18 percent slower in braking. Besides it took them 17 percent longer to regain the speed they lost when they braked. 9 There was also a study in September 2004. It found that drivers using hands-free cellphones had to redial calls 40 percent of the time, compared with 18 percent for drivers using hand-held sets. The study suggested that hands-free sets may provide drivers with a false sense of ease. The study, the 100-Car Naturalistic Driving Study, broke new ground. (Earlier research found that driver inattention was responsible for 25 to 30 percent of crashes.) The newer study found that the most common distraction is the use of cellphones, followed by drowsiness(困倦). However, cellphone use is far less likely to be the cause of a crash or near-miss than other distraction, according to the study. For example, reaching for a moving object such as a falling cup increased the risk of a crash or near-crash by nine times; talking or listening on a hand-held cellphone only increased the risk by 1.3 times. Title Cellphones and driving (71) ______ of cellphones More people use cellphhones while driving (72)_______ to the increased reliance on cellphones.

A study in 2004 suggested that hands-free phones are misleading, providing drivers with a(n) (79)______ sense of ease. E 100- Car Naturalistic Driving Study discovered that other distractions are (80)______ likely to be the cause of a crash or near-miss. 第二节 书面表达(满分25分) 几个月前，江苏省政府发布了《关于进一步 规范 编程规范下载gsp规范下载钢格栅规范下载警徽规范下载建设厅规范下载 中小学办学行为，深入实施素质教育的 意见》，提出了“严格禁止下达高(中)考升学指标等“五严”规定。根据下表内容，写一 篇英语短文。 “五严”的目的 真正实施素质教育、减轻学生负担 学生家长对“五严”的看2/3的家长支持 孩子轻松了;孩子的综合 法 能力强了 1/3的家长反对 孩子的学习成绩会受到影 响; 10 玩的时间多了，容易养成坏 习惯 你对“五严”的看法 请根据自己的感受，列举两至三点 注意: 1. 对所给要点逐一陈述，适当发挥，不要简单翻译。 2. 词数150左右。开头已经写好，不计入总词数。 参考词汇:规定regulation 素质教育quality education 综合能力 comprehensive ability Recently, Jiangsu provincial government has made five new regulations on running of primary and middle school. …… 江苏省泰州中学高三英语模拟试卷答案 单项填空 21-25 BCBDC 26-30 BDACB 31-35 ADDBA 完形填空 36-40 ACDAB 41-45 CCBDD 46-50 CABBC 51-55 ABCCA 阅读理解 56-59 BDAB 60-63 BBAC 64-67 ADBC 68-70 BCA 任务阅读 71.

The purpose of the regulations is to put quality education into real practice and to reduce the burden on students, Two thirds of the parents give their support to these regulations. They think that their children will become more and more relaxed, because they are freed from large amounts of homework. What’s more, students can have a lot of time to do what they like to do, which can improve their comprehensive ability. However, one third of the parents are very worried about the regulations. They argue that students might have lower grades and that they may get some bad habits since they have too much time to play. As far as I am concerned, I’m totally for the new regulations. With our teachers breaking traditional methods of teaching, I can improve the efficiency of studying in class. After class. I can take exercise to build up my body and develop some hobbies. 12
