A 
A small boy sat on the street with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: “ I am blind, please help”. There were only a few coins in the hat.
    A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were.
The boy recognized his footsteps and asked :“Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?” The man said: “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.”
    What he had written was: “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.”
    Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind.

The first is: Be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help where you can.
The second is：Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way!

Winning is usually a cause for celebration, but it may not be so for US president Barack Obama. He is at the Nobel Peace Prize on October 9 for his calls to cut the world’s nuclear weapons and his work for world peace. Since becoming American president, Obama has also worked to restart the Middle East peace process. The decision to give Obama the prize has led to both criticism and praise.
    While past Nobel Peace Prize winners like former US Vice President Al Gore praised the award, Obama himself said he did not deserve it. He said he was“surprised and deeply humbled (羞愧)”. But he said he would travel to Norway in December to accept the prize.
    Some people said Obama has been in office for only nine months and so it was too early for him to win the prize.
    Alexander Downer, Australia’s former foreign minister, said Obama should have been “man enough” to turn down the prize. He said the award to Obama was a very stupid political decision, because there had not been time to see if Obama’s policies would work.
    The US media reacted with surprise to the news. While Obama is quite popular around the world, many of his policies have not yet borne fruit, or are only just beginning to do so, the New York Times said. The Los Angeles Times said Obama’s win was untimely. It pointed out that the award comes just as Obama is thinking about sending more soldiers to Afghanistan.
    But there are others who said the Nobel committee got it right.
Ken Macnab, the President of the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Sydney, Australia, was one of them. “…even in that nine months he has brought changes to American political style, possibly military style, concern for nuclear weapons, for international cooperation rather than conflict,” he said.
61. What was former US Vice President Al Gore’s attitude to Obama’s wining the Prize?
A. satisfied      B. sad     C. indifferent   D. regretful
62. What’s the meaning of the underlined sentence?
A. many of Obama’s policies are not about bearing fruit.
B. many of Obama’s policies haven’t brought good results.
C. Obama hasn’t made many policies about bearing fruit.
D. Obama’s government didn’t take measures to bear fruit.
63. Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Obama won Nobel Prize because of his calls to cut American nuclear weapons. 
B. Obama said he didn’t deserve the prize but he would accept the Prize in October.
C. New York Times pointed Obama’s thought about sending more soldiers to Afghanistan.
D. Alexander Downer thought Obama should give up the prize because he didn’t deserve it.
64. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize.      
B. Obama has already been president for 9 months.
C. Different attitudes to Obama’s winning Nobel Prize.
D. Different media objected to Obama’s winning Nobel Prize.

 
C
Mona Lisa, Leonardo Da Vinci’s masterpiece may be the most famous painting in the world. But it only became well known in the middle of the 19th century, when Europeans began to really value the work of what they called the“Renaissance”
Da Vinci painted the work in 1519, a little before his death. It was for Lisa del Giaconda, the wife of a wealthy Florentine businessman, in celebration of the birth of her second son.
    The painting has always interested art historians and other researchers because of her smiling. However, is the Mona Lisa smiling at us when we look at her? For years, viewers of the painting have been divided. But now Spanish researchers may have solved the mystery of the Mona Lisa, reports the UK’s Daily Telegraph.
    It’s not a matter of the painting but the viewer, they say. Whether we think she is smiling or not depends upon which cells in the eye catch the image first and how information from the image moves through the brain.
It’s a question of how the eye and the brain work. Different areas of the eye are responsible for picking up different information about light and dark, colors, background and foreground. The information takes different channels through the brain.
Luiz Martinez Otero, a Spanish neuroscientist (神经科学家) said in an interview with New Scientist quoted in the Telegraph“Sometimes one channel wins over the other, and you see the smile, sometimes others take over and you don’t see the smile.”Asked whether he thought the great Italian master had intended to confuse viewers, he said he thought Leonardo had:“He wrote in one of his notebooks that he was trying to paint dynamic expressions because that’s what he saw in the street.”
65. When did Mona Lisa become famous?
A. in the year of 1519.      B. in the middle of the 19th century [来源:gkstk.Com]
C. a little before Da Vinci’s death    D. in the late of the 19th century
66. Why did Da Vinci draw the picture Mona Lisa?
A. To celebrate his own birthday         B. in honor of the wealthy businessman
C. To celebrate Lisa’ second son’s birthday D. in honor of his masterpiece
67. What interested the art historians and other researchers most?
A. her smile     B. the painting   C. the painter   D. her background
68. What can we learn from the passage?
A. How the eye and the brain work decides whether the smile can be seen.
B. Luiz thought the great Italian master had not intended to confuse viewers.
C. Researchers have already solved the mystery of the painting---Mona Lisa.
D. All the viewers can see the smile when they watch the painting---Mona Lisa.
69. How do our eyes work when we watch the painting?
A. eyes are responsible for moving images to the brain. 
B. eyes are responsible for picking up different information.
C. eyes are responsible for taking channels through the brain.
D. one eye channel wins over the other eye channel.
70. What does the underlined word mean?
A. soft       B. steady    C. mild    D. movable

D
Members of the post-1990 generation looking for work apply for multiple positions and hold high expectations of the jobs, which is a reflection of young people's changing attitudes amid the country's development, recent research showed. When fresh graduates do get the opportunity for a job interview, they are also more likely to miss it, turn down offers and not feel guilty about quitting if the work is not to their taste.
     These were some of the main findings of research conducted by leading Chinese recruitment(招聘) website 51job.com. Of those surveyed, 45percent of employers said more than half of job candidates failed to turn up on time for interviews. More than 60 percent of fresh graduates also felt they needed help from their parents to look for work, the research showed. The website surveyed 2,357 enterprises and 1,230 fresh graduates nationwide over 15 days in 2013.
     Liu Jinjin, deputy director of the human resources department at the Social Sciences Academic Press, said members of the post-1990 generation are particular about employment and it was common for them to break appointments for job interviews.
"Most of the post-1990 generation is the only child in the family. Their living conditions have greatly improved from that of the post-1980 and post-1970 generations. They don't experience much pressure in life so they pay closer attention to personal preferences and interests when hunting for a job," Liu said.[来源:gkstk.Com]
     The post-1990 generation also does not care about the amount of money they make. Instead, the working environment, the happiness they derive from their work and respect from others are what matter most, she said. "The post-1990 generation does not think twice about leaving in their first year of work. If they lose interest in a job or are not clear about their future career path, they will quit easily," Liu said.
71. What is NOT the post-1990 generation’s attitude towards jobs?
A. applying for multiple positions at the same time  
B. quitting the job easily when they lose interest
C. holding low expectations of the jobs they get    
D. turning down offers which don’t interest them
72. What does the post-1990 generation care most when they hunt for a job?
A. The amount of money they make.         B. The living conditions
C. Their preferences.                      D. Work pressure.
73. The underlined word “derive” is closest in meaning to______.
A. gain       B. bring    C. take    D. lose
74. What do we know from the survey conducted by leading Chinese recruitment website?

阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到题后相应的位置上（请注意问题后的词数要求）。
[1] Exercise is important for our body because it helps us feel relaxed, full of energy and healthy. Similarly, reading is important for us, as it gives lots of advantages to a person and it’s like a source to feed our mind.
  [2]Firstly, it can help us explore worlds that we don’t know: we can travel into the past. We can find out how people lived and how they dressed. We can also read about the future and science fiction books can offer us an interesting view on this matter. The world of books, magazines newspapers and so on offers us a large variety of areas we can explore and come to understand. It’s like a way of escaping from real life as it allows us to travel to places we might not ever get to in real life.
[3]Secondly, reading is cheap. It comforts, it distracts, it excites, and it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. When one enjoys reading a book he is strongly attracted by what he is reading and he hardly takes a break. He wants to finish it very rapidly because he is very cautious to find out what’ll happen till the end. That’s why he feels relaxed, excited and tries to somehow participate in the book’s action. Then, think of the knowledge one can obtain with reading: he’s able to take part in dialogues on certain subjects. He’d feel proud of himself to give others some information they have no idea about.
[4] Reading is the best way to learn. We can’t see everything on TV. Then, reading a book can offer more than the Internet, for example, even if it is time-consuming. That is why I believe books are a future, and a past I hope that the Internet won’t make people stop buying books.

2015届高三年级第一次联考英语答案
 
书面表达：
As society develops fast, many people think that we must have two friends in our whole life. One is library and the other is playground. The reason is as follows.
  If we can make friends with library, that means we can have enough and new books to read. As we know, reading is very important in our life because information changes so fast. Reading can make us wise ,intelligent and follow the pace of modern times. On the other hand, if we have the other friend, we can make daily exercise on the playground to strengthen our body, to keep fit and to be happy.
  From my point of view, I agree to have to these two important friends. Although I am very busy with my study, I still try to spare some time to read some meaningful books every day and to do some sports for half an hour every day. Before I go to bed, I read the extra books including literature and news for 15 minutes. And if possible, I always get up 30 minutes earlier to walk to school instead of taking the bus. Then I can be strong, smart and happy forever.

M: What are you going to be for Halloween this year?
W: Well, last year I was a rabbit, but I think I want to be something more exciting this year.Maybe a zombie bride.
M: A zombie bride? Now that’s an interesting idea. I always think that the best costumes are ones that are home-made. If you have an original idea, everyone will enjoy your costume much more than if you buy a costume in a store and wear it.
W: Yeah, When I was young my mother used to make our costumes. She did it because it was cheaper than buying one from a store, but I loved it because I could just tell her what I want to be. One year, I was a bunch of grapes. The next year, I was Abraham Lincoln; and the year after that, I was an astronaut. I could be whatever I wanted, even if they didn’t sell the costume in a store.
M: I remember that one year, I wanted to be a purple dragon, but they didn’t have a costume anywhere, so I was a pirate instead. Halloween is one of my favorite traditions. It really reminds me of being a kid and being with my family. I always start to remember the old days when Halloween comes around.
W: Yes, it’s good to be able to remember things about when you were a kid. I can’t wait until I have kids of my own, and then I can make costumes for them.

W: Hi, Andrew. Nice to meet you. Where do you come from?
M: Hi, Lucy. Nice to meet you too. I am from Japan.
W: Oh, it’s a beautiful country. How long have you been here?
M: About one year.
W: What do you think of our city London?
M: Well, to be frank, I like living here. London is a beautiful city. I have adapted myself to studying here very well.
W：Great, where do you live? In the school dormitory?
M: Well, when I first arrived, I found a host family and stayed with them for three months. The family was very friendly to me, but there was too much noise and it was difficult for me to concentrate on my study.
W: Oh, that’s a problem.
M: So after that I moved out and rented a small house with two other students near the university. Our new place is much better.
W: Good. What do you major in?
M: Engineering, I found the main difficulty I still have is with the language.
W: Don’t worry. I’m sure you can overcome it soon.
M: Thank you.

   Eating is usually a group activity. Different racial, national, and religious group develop their own food preference. These preferences are passed on to the children. When the children grow up, they usually feel most comfortable with the kinds of food they had in their own homes. Food choices have little to do with hunger. You may eat what your friends eat. You may use food to identify yourself as a member of a group. Some people order the most expensive dishes on the menu, just to show that they can afford them. Expensive food, like an expensive car, can help to make some people feel important. Low- cost menu choices may be just as nourishing. You may overeat when you are worried or lonely. People sometimes eat when they feel insecure or think that no one likes them, or they may turn to food to calm themselves. Emotions may also cause under-eating. People who feel down may eat very little. Many people worry so much about being overweight that they don’t eat enough. They see themselves as heavier than they really are. Or they think skinny is beautiful. They may even become weak or sick from not having enough food.
