Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?‎ Jane Addams（1860-1935） ‎ Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community（社区）by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.‎ Rachel Carson（1907-1964） ‎ If it weren't for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world's lakes and oceans.‎ Sandra Day O'Connor（1930-present） ‎ When Sandra Day O'Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator（参议员）and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O'Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.‎ Rosa Parks（1913-2005） ‎ On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rasa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. "The only tired I was, was tired of giving in," said Parks.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（1）What is Jane Addams noted for in history?‎ A.Her efforts to win a prize. B.Her social work. C.Her community background. D.Her teaching skills. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（2）What is the reason for O'Connor's being rejected by the law firm?‎ A.The discrimination against women.‎ B.Her lack of proper training in law.‎ C.The poor financial conditions.‎ D.Her little work experience in court.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（3）Who made a great contribution to the civil-rights movement in the U.S.?‎ A.Sandra Day O'Connor. B.Jane Addams. C.Rosa Parks. D.Rachel Carson. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（4）What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?‎ A.They are pioneers. B.They are highly educated. C.They are peace-lovers. D.They are truly creative. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎2. ‎ For centuries, the body's blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, are said to be cold-blooded killers. For example, the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. He seems to kill for no reason, and no emotion, as if taking someone's life as nothing.‎ Cold can affect other parts of the body. The expression "get cold feet" has nothing to do with cold of your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned, and all the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.‎ The expression "give someone the cold shoulder" probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you or to someone who has lied about you to others.‎ A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone. Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted. Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy. Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who, without feelings, broke the hearts of their lovers.‎ Out in the cold means not getting something that everybody else gets. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise—he was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（1）When you refuse to speak to a man and treat him in a distant way, you may express by "________".‎ A.I think he is a cold-blooded man B.I think he is a cold fish C.I'm likely to get cold feet D.I give him the cold shoulder ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（2）We can use the expression "________" to describe a man who abandons or hurts his lover without mercy.‎ A.cold-hearted B.cold feet C.cold-handed D.cold shoulder ‎ ‎ ‎（3）The topic of this passage is about ________.‎ 第13页 共14页 ◎ 第14页 共14页 A.some expressions connected with cold B.some expressions about friendship C.the relationship between cold and our body D.how cold weather comes into being ‎ ‎ ‎3. ‎ Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater's 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building's end.‎ The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-bye to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.‎ Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theater's location（位置）was also a reason. "This used to be the center of town," he said. "Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses."‎ Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.‎ The theater audience said good-bye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time. After 75 years the Plaza Theater had shown its last movie. The theater will be missed.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（1）In what way was yesterday's cleanup at the Plaza special?‎ A.It signaled the closedown of the theater.‎ B.It made room for new equipment.‎ C.It was done with the help of the audience.‎ D.It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（2）Why was The Last Picture Show put on?‎ A.It was about the history of the town.‎ B.It was an all-time classic.‎ C.The audience requested it.‎ D.The theater owner found it suitable.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（3）What will probably happen to the building?‎ A.It will be turned into a museum.‎ B.It will be repaired.‎ C.It will be knocked down.‎ D.It will be sold to the city government.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（4）What can we infer about the audience?‎ A.They are sad to part with the old theater.‎ B.They are disappointed with Bradford.‎ C.They are supportive of the city officials.‎ D.They are eager to have a shopping center.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎4. ‎ After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.‎ Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.‎ The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations-major food sources（来源）for the wolf-grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation（植被）, which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyote skilled a large percentage of the park's red foxes, and completely drove away the park's beavers.‎ As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.‎ The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（1）What is the text mainly about?‎ A.The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.‎ B.The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.‎ C.Wildlife research in the United States.‎ D.Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.‎ ‎ ‎ 第13页 共14页 ◎ 第14页 共14页 ‎（2）What does the underlined word "displaced" in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A.Tracked down. B.Forced out. C.Tested. D.Separated.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（3）What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about?‎ A.An increase in the variety of animals.‎ B.Preservation（保护）of vegetation.‎ C.Damage to local ecology.‎ D.A decline（下降）in the park's income.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（4）What is the author's attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project?‎ A.Uncaring. B.Disapproving. C.Doubtful. D.Positive.‎ 二、七选五阅读 ‎ ‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 ‎ Creativity is a skill that you can work on with time, training, and effort.
