【甘肃省嘉峪关市一中2013模拟】A
Zoe Chambers was a successful PR (Public Relations) consultant and life was going well-she had a great job, a beautiful flat and a busy social life in London. Then one evening in June last year, she received a text message telling her she was out of work. “The first two weeks were the most difficult to live through,” she said. “After everything I’d done for the company, they dismissed me by text! I was so angry and I just didn’t feel like looking for another job. I hated everything about the city and my life.”
Then, Zoe received an invitation from an old schoolfriend, Kathy, to come and stay. Kathy and her husband, Huw, had just bought a farm in northwest Wales. Zoe jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London, and now, ten months later, she is still on the farm.
“The moment I arrived at Kathy’s farm, I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay,” said Zoe. “Everything about my past life suddenly seemed meaningless.”
Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets. “It’s a hard life, physically very tiring,” she says. “In London I was stressed and often mentally exhausted. But this is a good, healthy tiredness. Here, all I need to put me in a good mood is a hot bath and one of Kathy’s wonderful dinners.”
Zoe says she has never felt bored on the farm. Every day brings a new experience. Kathy has been teaching her how to ride a horse and she has learnt to drive a tractor. Since Christmas, she has been helping with the lambing-watching a lamb being born is unbelievable, she says, “It’s one of the most moving experiences I’ve ever had. I could never go back to city life now.”
56. The most important reason why Zoe went to visit Kathy’s farm is that .
A. Zoe lost her job as a PR consultant
B. Kathy persuaded her to do so
C. Zoe got tired of the city life
D. Zoe loved Wales more than London
57. How does Zoe feel about the country life according to the passage?
A. Tiresome and troublesome. B. Romantic and peaceful.
C. Mentally exhausting but healthy. D. Physically tiring but rewarding.
58. Which of the following is closest to the main idea of the passage?
A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. A misfortune may turn out a blessing.
D. Kill two birds with one stoneboring

The Winter Olympics is also called the White Olympics. At this time, many colorful stamps are published to mark the great Games. The first stamps marking the opening came out on January 25, 1932 in the United States for the 3rd White Olympics. From then on, publishing stamps during the White Olympics became a rule.
During the 4th Winter Olympic Games a group of stamps were published in Germany in November 1936. The five rings of Olympics were drawn on the front of the sportswear.

【答案与解析】本文告诉我们，自1932年后，每届冬季奥林匹克运动会举行时，东道国与非东道国都可以为此发行纪念邮票。
1. A。 细节题。从第1句 The Winter Olympics(奥林匹克运动会) is also called the White Olympics 可知答案为 Ａ。
2. B。 细节题。根据句子 The first stamps marking the opening came out on January 25, 1932 in the United States for the 3rd White Olympics. From then on, publishing stamps during the White Olympics became a rule(规定)可知答案为 Ｂ。
3. C。细节题。根据文章内容在1932年举行第3届冬季奥林匹克运动会，在1936年举行第4届冬季奥林匹克运动会，由此推知每四年举行一次。
4. C。细节题。从句子 When the White Olympics came, the host countries(东道国) as well as the non-host countries published stamps to mark those Games中可知。
5. D。推断题。文章的主题是冬季奥林匹克运动会，所以最可能出现在邮票上的是Skating(滑雪)。
This was a wonderful match. The two teams had been playing for only three minutes when Gomez scored the first goal, and Jimernez had almost scored a minute before. Liverpool came back with a fine attack.
Unfortunately Tarleston, their center forward, left the field in the 35th minute. He had hurt his ankle badly earlier, but had been playing in spite of his injury. Bobby Good scored for Liverpool in the 40th minute. He had taken a pass from Biles, had run 40 yards and had beaten at least 3 Valencia defenders when Tores almost brought him down with a hard tackle(拥抱), Good got past him somehow, shot over the head of the goal-keeper and scored. Thus the match was over and the final result was one to one.

4. According to the passage we know that ______ are on the same team.
A. Gomez, Tarleston, Biles B. Gomez, Jimernez, Tores
C. Tarleston, Tores, Good D. Biles, Tores, Gomez
【答案与解析】本文继记叙了 Valencia 队与Livepool 队之间的一场精彩的足球比赛。
1. A。细节题。根据第1段 When Gomez scored the first goal 及最后一段 Good got past him somehow, shot over the head of the goal-keeper and scored. Thus the match was over„ 可知此题答案为 A。
2. A。细节判断题。根据第3段 „left the field in the 35th minute. He had hurt his ankle badly earlier„ 可判断出 Tarleston 在比赛进行不到35分钟时就受了伤，比较 A、B、C、D 四项可知答案只能是 A。
3. B。细节题。根据 „had beaten at least 3 Valencia defenders when Tores almost bought him down with a hard tackle, Good got past him somehow, shot„ 可知 B 项说法是正确的；文章第1段第3句是说 Jimernez 差点就射了门，所以 A 项说法不正确；根据原文可知 Gomez 是 Valencia 队的，而 Bobby Good 是Livepool 队的，所以 C、D 两项说法是错误的。因此此题答案为 B。
4. B。细节判断题。根据„Gomez scored the first goal, and Jimernez had almost scored a minute before. Livepool came back with a fine attack. Unfortunately Tarleston„可知Gomez 和Jimernez 都不属于Livepool 队，即他们属于Volencia 队。而Tarleston 属于Livepool 队。再根据最后一段 Bobby Good scored for Livepool in the 40th minute. He had taken a pass from Biles 可知 Bobby Good 和 Biles 属于 Livepool 队；再根据 „when Tores almost brought him down with a hard tackle, Good got past him somehow„ 可知 Tores 属于 Volencia 队，由此可知答案为 B。(做此题时若能一边看文章一边画个草图，一定会有意想不到的效果。)

The quality of drinking water in Shanghai will meet European Union standard by 2010 and, a decade later, citizens in Shanghai will drink the best water in the world. These were the goals set out by the Shanghai Water Authority. With the city’s population expected to increase only slightly and the economy to boom by 2020, Chen Yin, an official in the water authority, said Shanghai’s water consumption will not increase from its present amount.
Zhang Yue, director of the Urban Construction Division under the Ministry of Construction, said, “Shanghai is the first city in the country to publicize these ambitions. They will not be easy to achieve.”He said water saving will help keep the sustainable development of China’s economy.
Saving one cubic meter of water means saving the city’s infrastructure（基础设施）costs by 10,000 Yuan. Last year, Shanghai saved 300 million cubic meters of
【二】:谈如何提高工作资料阅读效率
谈如何提高工作资料阅读效率
你对自己的期望越大，你的责任就会越多，你的阅读量当然也就越多，面对堆积如山的工作资料，那要怎么在最快的时间把它看完，并且得到里面的关键信息为你所用？那么您需要快速阅读等相关技巧来进行时间管理。
现代人花在阅读上的时间越来越多了，掌握如何提高阅读效率的技巧对于时间管理是非常重要的。“我要到猴年马月才看得完这一堆东西?”不论是与业务相关的报章杂志，或业务上的文件资料，你都必须找时间阅读。
一、一目十行省时间
时间管理应该掌握速读技巧。如何在有限的时间内阅读更多的资料？你可以考虑速读这个方法。也许你认为速读是一种投机取巧的方法，甚至是骗人的把戏，但事实上，速读是可行而且有效的！你可以到书店买一两本速读的书自修（嗯，虽然有点笨拙），也可以到附近专业速读中心接受训练（如果你在美国），或是购买专业的精英特快速阅读训练进行训练（你只需要一台电脑，推荐）。你也许无法就此奇迹般地能在两个小时内就把《战争与和平》一书看完，但至少可以增进你在阅读速度、理解率及内容吸收方面的能力。这不是骗你的！
二、见缝插针挤时间
见缝插针也是时间管理的一种好方法。如果你有一大叠的资料要看，而实在抽不出相当的时间，那么每天一大早，先花几分钟浏览一
下待阅公文，有助于你及时回应当日具时效性的备忘录及业务邮件。否则，你将面临耽误进度的风险。
带回家看吧！实在看不完的东西，只好放进公事包里带回家。即使回到家，只剩下躺在床上合眼之前的时间，也好，多多少少看一点，更何况此举有助睡眠。如果搭乘公共交通工具或选择车辆共乘，你就可以利用这段通勤时间来看必要的资料。
当你外出赴约时，把待阅的公文或相关文件带在身边。十之八九，对方无法立即抽身见你，正好可以利用这段空档，读点与业务相关的文件。何必浪费时间，去看那些被人翻烂却又无聊的杂志呢？而且对方看到你分秒必争地利用时间，也会留下良好的印象。很显然，你是在创造时间，而不是浪费时间。
三、移花接木造时间
挤不出时间看一本企管好书？现在有些出版公司，专门将厚厚的企管书籍浓缩成精华本，或以书摘的形式出版。你不用再花那么多时间去读整本书了！虽然无法登堂人室，但仍可一窥庙堂之妙。你可以从知名的企管杂志或航空杂志上，找到这些公司的广告。此外，还有一些杂志是专门刊载精心选自其他企业杂志的文章，也值得你留意。
很多企管书以有声书的型态出版，你可以利用车上的音响，在开车途中“听书”。有些有声书也出精华版，将最畅销的企管书，提纲揳领地录制下来。不要因为没有逐页读完一本书，而感到自己好像在作弊。想想看！你这么忙，就算买了书，没空看，有啥用？
你是个新闻迷，但没空看报纸？那就上网吧！网络上有各式各样
新闻快讯的服务，很多知名大报在网络上均设有网站，提供信息。在网络上，你还可以做主题搜寻，直接进入你有兴趣的内容。你甚至可以设定筛选功能，使电脑只接收与业务相关的主题。更酷的作法是：下载信息、打印，然后在回家的路上看。www.shanpow.com_精英特快阅读。
谁规定中午时你不能在办公室边吃边读点东西？如果午餐时段是你一天中惟一能静一下的时间，就好好利用吧！若找得到办公室以外安静清爽的地方，窝在那儿也不错！www.shanpow.com_精英特快阅读。
四、轻重缓急用时间
工作有优先顺序的排定，阅读也一样。一份你私人感兴趣的新闻杂志与一份两天内要呈交的公文，孰轻孰重？后者当然是重要得多了！如果你的文件待办栏有两层，不妨将其中一层标为“紧急”，另一层为“次要”。并在阅读时，尽可能先从易读的资料着手。
通过上述掌握快速阅读等几种方法，相信我们的阅读效率，知识储备都能适应我们的工作需要，甚至让我们工作效率遥遥领先。
【三】:精英特速读记忆训练软件有什么让你心动的地方
精英特速读记忆训练软件，是一款由精英特科技公司开发的训练记忆的软件。可能有许多人并不相信一个普通人通过训练记忆也可以达到大师级别的效果，下面学习啦小编为您整理了精英特速读记忆训练软件让人动心的四个方面，希望您可以抱着尝试的心态，去下载速读软件试用以下。相信通过一段时间的试用，您也会发觉到精英特速读记忆训练软件有四个让人心动的地方，如下：
一、五个系统浑然一体，让人感到商家很用心。以精英特超级速读记忆训练培训网站为核心，加上精英特超级速读记忆训练软件、专家指导系统、日常训练系统和学员管理系统，每个系统的设计都突出了服务学员、方法科学、保证效果这个中心理念。让人感受到为了实现速读速记训练目标，商家在构建五个系统的时候确实花费了很多精力和心血。
二、速读和记忆训练有机融合，让人感到很实惠。人们对速读培训已经习惯，有的培训机构将速读和记忆培训分成两部分。这样把两个互相密切联系的内容分割开来的做法，本身就不够科学，既影响培训效果也给参与培训的学员造成了时间、精力和经济负担。精英特的教授专家经过精心研究实验，开发出速读和记忆训练完全融合的软件，在人类智能训练方面做出了有益尝试，而且很成功。那么，这就是一项对人智力开发的发明创造，并将这项发明创造应用于速读记忆训练，使速读与记忆相互联系、相互依赖、相互作用的内在规律在培训实践中得到充分体现。对于参与培训的学员来说既是福音，又得实惠，功莫大焉!
三、专家指导系统让人感到很科学。众所周知，“上大课”的效果永远和因人施教、因材施教无法相齐并论。精英特专家指导系统运用先进的教学理论，综合先进的速读记忆技巧，以及大师们丰富而成功的经验，结合学员个人文化层次、智力水平和学习训练中软件智能反馈的问题，能够及时给出适合每个学员实际的训练计划和要求，对于每个学员在原来基础上实现速读记忆水平提高，肯定是非常有效的办法。思路对了，效果就有保障。有了精心设计的专家指导系统，参加速读记忆训练不用担心没有收获。只要勤学爱学，按照专家指导系统给出的独一无二的计划去训练，取得预想的效果应该没有问题。
四、先进的训练方法和手段让人感到很惊喜。我感到有以下几种方法确实不错：一是动态化、图示化方法。精英特速读记忆训练软件，将训练过程动态化、图示化，化解了视觉疲劳对学习训练的困扰，对提高兴趣、坚持训练、增强效果大有裨益。尤其是青少年朋友，自我控制能力有限，可以像看动画片一样去训练是多好的事情。二是超级速读训练+思维导图记忆法。思维导图记忆法，能够充分发挥人脑潜力，符合人脑放射性思维要求，有利于长时记忆，正好解决了边读边忘、过一段时间忘记过多的难题。通过精英特教学实践证实，一般学员使用系统30小时，即可让阅读速读提高5——10倍，每分钟可以达到1000——3000字左右，3小时可基本掌握联想奇像记忆法和思维导图记忆法。把超级速读和这些先进的记忆方法结合起来，我们的阅读和记忆效果能不让自己惊喜吗!三是“a脑电波背景音乐”伴随训练法。经过实践反复证实，在a脑电波背景音乐的伴随下，能够激发出记忆的最高峰值。精英特的专家为提高学习训练效果，将a脑电波背景音乐引入速读记忆训练，让我们在愉悦中事半功倍，乐在其中，学有所获。还有一些方法让人惊喜，我不再一一列举，有兴趣的朋友可以自己去看看。
快速阅读和有效记忆的能力，是大部分人期盼的，也是可以通过训练能够得到的。有兴趣的朋友、盼望孩子将来有出息的朋友们不妨试试，不管你现在情况怎么样、希望将来怎么样，毕竟这个训练与成功有关，与幸福有关，与人生有关。
【四】:精英特速读记忆训练软件怎么样
精英特速读记忆训练软件有用吗？ 在网站首页可以免费下载试用。下载的软件里面自带有两个试用账号，分别是15级和48级的训练内容，即每分钟1500字和10600字的训练速度，试用仅作体验之用，它的原理技巧开放，但速度是限定的，训练系统并不完整，所以没有效果保证。并且两个试用速度都快于我们的平时速度。精英特速读记忆训练软件官网免费下载页面
