限时精练四45分钟综合性过关小练习(二)‎ 注意事项:‎ ‎1. 答题前,考生务必将学校、班级、姓名写在密封线内。‎ ‎2. 请将选择题的答案根据老师批改需要填写在试卷第3页所附的答题栏内。‎ 一、 阅读理解 请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。‎ A Best Learning English, established in 2010, now has 30 training centers and more than 10,000 students across China. “We plan to expand to 100 training centers by 2015,” said its CEO Wang Ning.‎ Riverdeep International Education Inc., Best Learning’s major competitor, has also enjoyed rapid growth, expanding to more than 140 training centers since 2007.‎ The fast expansion of high-end children’s English education is a result of a more global outlook among China’s new generation of parents.‎ ‎“Young Chinese parents care about whether their children have an international outlook,” said Zhang Yuanmeng, director of China‎ Research ‎Center for Children’s Industry. “The market for high-end English education companies is huge, as Chinese parents believe their children have to deal with competitors all over the world when they grow up,” she said. And this is a sector which is proving attractive to investors. Best Learning English attracted 100 million yuan in its first round of financing in October.‎ However, these companies still need to overcome a number of problems if they want to ensure their further growth.‎ ‎“Human resources management is the primary problem for growing English education companies,” said Zhang. “The business requires high-quality teachers, ‎ not only with language skills, but also teaching skills and an understanding of Western culture. The lack of teachers in big cities is more obvious, since the market is larger there.” She added, “But the good news is that Chinese education companies are recruiting(招募) more teachers from English-speaking countries who are looking for work due to the economic crisis in the West.” ‎ ‎(　　)1. Why is high-end children’s English education expanded fast in China?‎ A. High-end English education companies have no competitors.‎ B. Children want to deal with competitors all over the world.‎ C. China’s new generation of parents have a more global outlook.‎ D. More teachers from English-speaking countries come to China.‎ ‎(　　)2. What’s the main difficulty for growing English education companies?‎ A. The severe competition among competitors.‎ B. The economic crisis in the West.‎ C. The shortage of fund.‎ D. The lack of high-quality teachers.‎ ‎(　　)3. What’s Zhang Yuanmeng’s attitude towards the further growth of English education companies?‎ A. Worried. 　B. Negative. C. Optimistic. 　　　D. Unconcerned.‎ B Some young Cambodians are learning a new sport—skateboarding. The country’s first skateboard park is located on the grounds of a local charity group at the edge of Phnom Penh, the capital.‎ Sports like Khmer boxing and soccer are wildly popular in Cambodia. But Chea, who has been skating for 6 months, says skating has already become his favorite sport.‎ The skaters are learning tricks like launching off a jump or half-pipe and flying through the air on their narrow wooden boards.‎ A non-governmental organization called Skateistan Cambodia organizes weekly programs at the park. Skateistan started its work in Afghanistan years ago. Rory Burke is working with the group which expanded to Cambodia last year.‎ Rory Burke points out, “Yeah, it’s definitely not a typical Cambodian pastime(消遣). And I think the idea of ‘why skateboarding’ is that it’s not been done before here. We want to use skateboarding as something saying, ‘Hey; this is new; this is something different.’ And that kind of itself becomes a little bit of hook. People see it and they think and they say, ‘Wow, what is that?’ and they want to get involved.”  ‎ Skateistan partners with local groups that work with young people. The park is on the grounds of the group known as PSE, where children attend school and learn a trade. There are almost one hundred twenty participants. They all come from troubled lives.‎ Seventeen-year-old Sang Rotha is a student at PSE. “Sometimes I don’t do well on subjects like math,” he says. “I feel bad when I find it hard to keep up with my lessons. So that is why I skateboard—to improve my bad feelings.” ‎ He says he began skateboarding more than a year ago. Before he started training, it seemed very easy. But it was very difficult to learn tricks, and he got hurt a lot from falling off.‎ Rory Burke says learning to deal with the difficulties is part of the lesson for these young skateboarders.‎ ‎(　　)4. According to the passage, PSE is a group 　　　　. ‎ A. that works with Cambodian students B. for young Cambodians to learn a trade C. for young Cambodians in troubled lives D. for young Cambodians taking skateboarding ‎(　　)5. What is said about skateboarding in the passage?‎ A. It is easy for young Cambodians to learn.‎ B. It is a good sport to help regain good feeling.‎ C. It originated in Afghanistan years ago.‎ D. It is as popular as Khmer boxing in Cambodia.‎ ‎(　　)6. The underlined part “a little bit of hook” probably means 　　　　. ‎ A. something strange B. something quite new C. something different D. something attractive ‎(　　)7. It can be inferred from the passage that skateboarding is becoming 　　　　. ‎ A. a sport liked by most young Cambodians B. an increasingly popular sport in Cambodia C. a sport used to better young Cambodians’ life D. a good way to train young Cambodians’ learning skills C My son Joey was born with club feet. The doctors told us that with treatment he would be able to walk normally, but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were spent in surgery, casts and braces. By the time he was eight, you wouldn’t know he had a problem when you saw him walk.‎ The children in our neighborhood ran around as most children do during play, and Joey would jump right in and run and play, too. We never told him that he probably wouldn’t be able to run as well as the other children. So he didn’t know.‎ In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross-country team. Every day he trained with the team. He worked harder and ran more than any of the others, perhaps he sensed that the abilities that seemed to come naturally to so many others did not come naturally to him. Although the entire team runs, only the top seven runners have the chance to score points for the school. We didn’t tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didn’t know.‎ He continued to run four to five miles a day, every day—even the day he had a 103-degree fever. I was worried, so I went to look for him after school. I found him running all alone. I asked him how he felt. “Okay,” he said. He had two more miles to go. The sweat ran down his face and his eyes were glassy from his fever. Yet he looked straight ahead and kept running. We never told him he couldn’t run four miles with a 103-degree fever. So he didn’t know.‎ Two weeks later, the names of team runners were called. Joey was number six on the list. Joey had made the team. He was in seventh grade—the other six team members were all eighth-graders. We never told him he shouldn’t expect to make the team. We never told him he couldn’t do it. We never told him he couldn’t do it...so he didn’t know. He just did it.‎ ‎(　　)8. It was 　　　　 years before Joey was totally recovered from appearance. ‎ A. 3 B. ‎5 ‎C. 7 D. 8‎ ‎(　　)9. Joey’s parents never told him the problem with his feet because 　　　　. ‎ A. Joey couldn’t face the fact that he was disabled B. Joey’s parents considered it may be better for his growth C. Joey’s parents were afraid of being laughed at D. Joey would choose not to see the doctors ‎(　　)10. What is the proper title for the passage?‎ A. Club Feet 　　　　　B. Keep Running C. We Never Told Him 　　D. Don’t Give Up 二、 任务型阅读 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一个最恰当的单词。‎ 注意:每个空格只填1个单词。‎ Without most people realizing it, there has been a revolution in office work over the last ten years. Before that time, large computers were only used by large, rich companies that could afford the investment. With the advancement of technology, small computers have come onto the market, which are capable of doing the work that used to be done by much larger and expensive computers, so now smaller companies can use them.‎ The main development in small computers has been in the field of word processors(文字处理机) or WPS as they are often called. 40% of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast.‎ There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager. The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as re-typing letters and storing papers. He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss. From a manager’s point of view, secretarial(秘书的) time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours.‎ But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed. Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units(可视显示器). The case of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly. It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed. Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in England bother to buy them.‎ Whatever the arguments for and against word processors, they are a key feature of this revolution in office practice.‎ Title: A Revolution in Office Work Introduction ‎• Small computers take (11)　　　　 of larger and expensive computers and some companies can use them. ‎ ‎• Small computers have been (12)　　　　 in the field of word processors. ‎ Advantages of using ‎ a word processor ‎• For the secretary ‎*Be free from a lot of (13)　　　　 work. ‎ ‎*Do other more interesting work for the (14)　　　　. ‎ ‎• For the manager ‎*Secretaries can make better use of their work (15)　　　　. ‎ ‎*(16)　　　　 can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours. ‎ ‎(17)　　　 ‎ ‎• Many secretaries will lose their (18)　　　　. ‎ ‎• Many people lose (19)　　　　 slowly. ‎ ‎• For those women who work at VDU for long hours,their unborn child might be (20)　　　　. ‎ ‎45分钟综合性过关小练习(二)‎ 一、 阅读理解 A 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了高端儿童英语教育机构在中国发展壮大的情况，简要分析了产生这一现象的原因以及目前这种机构所面临的主要难题。‎ ‎1.
