第一节 阅读理解（共 20 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 40 分）
A
Peter loved to shop used articles. Almost a month ago, he bought a popular word game that used little
pieces of wood with different letters on them. As he was purchasing it, the salesgirl said, “Uh, look, the
game box haven’t even been opened yet. That might be worth some money. ”
Peter examined the box, and sure enough, it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic. And he
saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box.
“You should put that up for auction (拍卖 ) on the Internet, and see what happens.”the salesgirl said.
“Yes, you’re right. People like something rare.” Peter agreed, “I can’t imagine there being very many
unopened boxes of this game still around 40 years later.”
“Don’t forget to tell me if you sell it.” the salesgirl smiled.
“No problem.” Peter said.
After he got home, Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game. But he
couldn’t find it. Then he typed in the name of the word game and hit Search. The search result was 543
websites containing information about the changes of the game. Over the years, the game had been
produced using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors. He also found some lists of
game fans looking for various versions of the game. Peter emailed some of them, telling them what he
had.
Two weeks later, Peter went back to the shop.
“Hello. Do you still remember the unopened word game?”
The salesgirl looked at him for a second, then recognized him and said, “Oh, hi!”
“I’ve got something for you,” Peter said. “I sold the game and made $1,000. Thank you for your
suggestion.” He handed her three $ 100 bills.
“Wow!” the salesgirl cried out. “Thank you, I never expected it.”
21. Which of the following best describes Peter’s word game?
A. It was made around 40 years ago.
B. It had game boards in different sizes.

C. It was kept in a plastic bag with a seal.
D. It had little pieces of wood in different colors.
22. What did the salesgirl probably think of Peter’s word game?
A. Old and handy. B. Rare and valuable.
C. Classic and attractive. D. Colorful and interesting
23. What happened at the end of the story?
A. Peter gave the girl $300 as a reward. B. The salesgirl became Peter’s friend.
C. Peter returned the word game for $ 1,000. D. The salesgirl felt confused to see Peter again.
24. What is the main theme of the story?

C. We should be grateful for the help from others. D. Something rare is worth a large amount of money.
B
For centuries, the common view of how domestication (训化 ) had occurred was that prehistoric
people, realizing how useful it would be to have animals kept for food, began catching wild animals and
breeding (繁殖 ) them. Over time, by allowing only animals with “tame”（驯养） characteristics to produce
their babies, human beings created animals that were less wild and more dependent upon people.
Eventually this process led to the domestic farm animals and pets that we know today, having lost their
ancient survival skills and natural abilities.
Recent research suggests that this view of domestication is incomplete. Prehistoric human beings did
catch and breed useful wild animals, but specialists in animal behavior now think that domestication was
not simply something people did to animals—the animals played an active part in the process. Wolves and
wild horses, for example, may have taken the first steps in their own domestication by hanging around
human settlements, feeding on people’s crops and getting used to human activity. The animals which were
not too nervous or fearful to live near people produced their babies that also tolerated humans, making it
easier for people to catch and breed them.
In this version, people succeeded in domesticating only animals that had already adapted easily to life
around humans. Domestication required an animal that was willing to become domestic. The process was
more like a dance with partners than a victory of humans over animals.
At first glance, the taming of cats seems to fit nicely into this new story of domestication. A
traditional theory says that after prehistoric people in Egypt invented agriculture and started farming, rats
and mice gathered to feast on their stored grain. Wildcats, in turn, gathered at the same places to hunt and
eat the rats and mice. Over time, cats got used to people and people got used to cats. Some studies of
wildcats, however, seem to call this theory into question. Wildcats don’t share hunting and feeding areas,
and they don’t live close to people. Experts do not know whether wildcats were partners in their own
domestication. They do know that long after people had acquired domestic dogs, sheep and horses, they
somehow acquired domestic cats. Gradually they produced animals with increasingly tame qualities.
25. What is suggested in recent research?
A. Animals were less afraid than thought.
B. Animals had an active role in their domestication.
C. Wolves and horses were the first to be domesticated.
D. Domestication meant something people did to animals.
26. The word “dance” is used in Paragraph 3 to show that ______.
A. animals and humans were close B. control over animals was easy
C. animals were independent of humans D. domestication was like a game
27. What probably attracted cats to human settlements?
A. Other cats. B. Warmth. C. Humans. D. Food.
28. What causes a problem for the theory that cats were domesticated like wolves were?
A. Cats were not friendly to people. B. Cats were not as fierce as wolves.
C. Cats had the characteristic of independence. D. Cats showed cleverness when they were hunting.
C
Daniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes it’s important to distinguish television’s influences
on children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn’t really cause,
overlooking our own roles in shaping children’s minds.
One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability to think and to understand the
world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images (影像 ). Instead, they learn
both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of
characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents
watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a
chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.
Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But
according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV
doesn’t take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as
listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents’ educational background have a stronger
influence on a child’s reading. “A child’s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads.”
Anderson says.
Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ scores and affects school
performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that
it’s the other way around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older,” Anderson
says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.
For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by
showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson
suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.
29. By watching TV, children learn _________.
A. images through words B. more than explicit meanings
C. more about images than words D. little about people’s psychology
30. An educational program is best watched by a child _________.
A. on his own B. with other kids C. with his parents D. with his teachers
31. Anderson believed that _________.
A. the more a child watches TV, the smarter he is
B. the younger a child is, the more he watches TV
C. the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TV
D. the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school
32. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To advise on the educational use of TV. B. To describe TV’s harmful effects on children.
C. To explain traditional views on TV influences. D. To present Anderson’s unconventional ideas.
D
The aggressive spread of market economics and communication technologies—often under the
control of Western multinational companies—brings new challenges to local cultures and values in
non-Western societies. Sometimes it seems as if a tidal wave of the worst Western culture is creeping
across the globe like a giant strawberry milkshake spill out and over the planet, with a flavor that is
distinctly sweet, sickly and apparently homogeneous(同质的 ).
高三英语 周日测试 7 第 页 共 4 页 3
For some, especially the young, change may mean escape from oppressive traditions. It may also
bring new opportunities for cultures to be combined in creative ways. However, there is genuine cause for
concern about the rate at which cultures are being worn away in such a globalized world.
Perhaps by far the most important far-reaching effect of cultural globalization is the
commercialization of culture, which has a disturbing impact on local people’s existing values. They are
increasingly bombarded with new images, new music, new clothes and new values. The familiar and old
are to be abandoned. While there was cultural change long before globalization, there is a danger that
much will be lost simply because it is not valued by global markets. In West Africa for example,
traditional values have been overtaken by Coca-Cola culture which the local people don''t yet have the
values to deal with successfully.
Another common aspect of the globalized culture is that it pursues the same "one size fits all"
American ideal. The result of this cultural process of homogenization is that a large section of the world''s
population dreams of living like Cosby & Co. or like the characters in any other stereotype American soap
opera. In addition, the dream of living a better life causes thousands of people to move to already
overcrowded cities whose population has boomed by millions within the last decades. The majority of
these new immigrants end up in slums leading to poverty, pollution and misery.
Such gradual aggression against people''s existing values and cultures has a destructive impact on
their sense of who they are, what they want and what they respect. It attacks spiritual values and faith
traditions. The accumulative(累积的 ) effect in non-Western societies is a crisis of cultural confidence,
combined with the increased economic uncertainty and crime which global integration(一体化 ) may bring.
This creates real problems for social stability, whether it is at the level of nation, community or family.
In conclusion, cultural globalization, or worldwide McDonaldization, destroys diversity and
displaces the opportunity to sustain decent life through a mixture of many different cultures. It is more a
consequence of power concentration in the global media and manufacturing companies than the people''s
own wish to abandon their cultural identity and diversity.
33. It can be learned from Paragraph 1 that _________.
A. non-Western societies willingly accept economic globalization
B. Western culture unites the world''s economies and technologies
C. the booming of Western culture destroys non-Western societies
D. despite its appeal, westernization shows an unpleasant uniformity
34. What is the writer’s attitude towards cultural globalization?
A. Cautious. B. Critical. C. Positive. D. Neutral.
35. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. cultural diversity in globalization B. challenges to non-Western cultures
C. drawbacks of cultural globalization D. disappearance of non-Western cultures

Lifelong Musicians Have Better Hearing
Playing a musical instrument throughout your life protects your hearing, a Canadian study suggests.
The study, which was published in Psychology and Aging, carried out hearing tests on 74 musicians and
89 non-musicians. ____36____
Action on Hearing Loss said all people—including musicians—should try to prevent hearing damage.
____37____ By sixty, 10-30% of people have some hearing loss. By eighty, that goes up to as many as
60%. Problems are particularly seen in the central hearing processing system, which is associated with
understanding speech, especially when there is background noise.
Then a research, by a team at the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto, looked at how adults were
affected as they aged. They chose both musicians and non-musicians from the age of 18 to 91 and divided
them into different groups based on the age. Again musicians were significantly better at picking out
speech against noise in all the age ranges.
____38___ Benjamin Zendel, who was part of the research team, said, “We found that being a
musician may contribute to better hearing in old age, probably due to musicians using their hearing
systems at a high level on a regular basis. This advantage widened considerably for musicians as they got
older when compared to similar-aged non-musicians.”
This study suggests that musicians might be more able to deal with the consequences of hearing loss.
____39____ As Dr. Ralph Holme said, all people—including musicians—should try to prevent hearing
damage in the first place. It’s necessary for everyone who plays a musical instrument or listens to loud
music to wear hearing protection. ____40____
A. Hearing normally declines as people age.
B. Previous studies explained the reasons for hearing loss.
C. That can effectively reduce the risk of damaging their hearing permanently.
D. Still, it is far better to minimize damage by using appropriate ear protection.
E. They believed musicians are also likely to experience age-related hearing problems.
F. The researchers concluded that lifelong musicianship delays age-related changes in hearing.
G. It found a 70-year-old musician’s hearing was as good as that of a 50-year-old who didn’t play.

In a hot summer day 81 all the springs were dry, a fox looked about all day 82 water to
drink but in vain. He even slid into a farm yard, but a dog saw him. So he had to leave in 83 great
hurry.
At last he came to an old well near the farm but the water was out of his reach. He tried to reach it, and
at last fell in! He was 84 (frighten), but he was not much hurt, and as the water was not very deep,
he was glad to drink.When his 85 (thirsty)was gone, he wished to get out, but the 86 (side)of
the well were steep, and even when 87 (stand)on his hind(后面的 )legs, he could not reach half way
to the top.The next morning, a goat came and asked, "Is the water good?" "Oh!" said the fox, "my friend,
it is so good 88 I cannot stop drinking it!" Down jumped the long-beard at once; but no sooner was
she down than the fox had leaped on 89 (she) back, and then was on the green grass! As he jumped
outside, he turned around and said, "Thank you, madam!"
The goat soon realized how foolish she 90 (be )to believe in the cunning(狡猾的 )fox several
minutes before.

It’s reported that many people died from traffic accidents each year. Road safety has aroused the widely
attention of the public. Many rules have made to reduce the traffic crashes, especially for the ones
involved in the pedestrians. In my opinion, we should make road safety seriously in our daily life. While
used the road, we must walk on the pavement and learn to protect us. Besides, car drivers should obey the
traffic rules, that is both good for themselves and others.
In the word, obeying the traffic rules are what all of us should pay attention to particularly. After all,
life is not a small matter.
