黄山寻泉

洪 烛

泉是水的童年。在黄山,我寻找童年时代的水――婴儿般的眼神,未遭受任何污染。认识一个陌生人,只需要一瞥。哦,你就进入它的记忆,水的记忆是倒影。你在倒影中变得无比真实……

金嗓子、银嗓子,叮叮咚咚响起来了,书声琅琅。露天的课堂,一群孩子在朗读。泉水并不识字,幸好它们捧着的,也是一部无字天书。黄山是这一群孩子的课本。松涛阵阵,掀开了一页又一页。从静里面读出了动、从梦里面读出了醒。

涓涓细流,穿梭在群峰之间的一根根线。织啊,织啊……为了织出一幅想像出的画,黄山的迎客松,抖落满地的针。山、水、树木,都在等待一个会刺绣的人。

泉逐渐成长。经历了它的变声期和青春期,摇身一变,成为溪流,成为山涧,成为有梦想的深潭、湖泊……

黄山作证,那著名的人字瀑,就是泉水的成年礼!一次美丽得让人心跳的考验。纵身一跃,以最快的速度、最夸张的动作,告别了童真,告别了青涩而幼稚的季节。像一棵树,开出了花、结出了果,并且长出繁茂的枝叶。柔若无骨的水哟,又像一个大写的人,长出血肉、骨骼、眉毛、胡须、喉结……长出一撇和一捺。

瀑布是站立起来的河,是立正的水,挺直腰杆,踮起脚尖。黄山的水啊,通过瀑布,而展示着模特一样修长的身材。黄山的水啊,不仅富有曲线美,而且站着也会做梦。这流淌的雕塑,这豪华的梦境,这伟大的自由落体!为水的成长史掀起了高潮。我想起安格尔的那幅叫做《泉》的油画:一位裸体的浴女,把水罐举过肩头,而水罐正在倾斜,制造最小的瀑布……

泉是水的昨天。山外有山,天外有天,水的前世还是水,只不过更为纯洁。

黄山有灵泉,心诚则灵。那是最古老的温泉,比杨贵妃的华清池还要古老。传说我们祖先的祖先――黄帝,在这里沐浴七七四十九天,白发变黑,返老还童,羽化登仙……这就是黄山的名字的起源:黄山,黄帝之山。泉水孕育了一个神话。

追随黄帝遥远的脚步,我来到黄山,是寻泉呢,还是寻梦?寻一个古老的梦?黄山,梦开始的地方。瀑布,是黄帝的白发三千丈。我从温泉里试探黄帝的体温。

温泉是正在酝酿的酒,使石头醉了,使松树醉了,使早来的李白醉了,也使迟到的我醉了。温泉,酒香四溢、花香四溢,使整座黄山都醉了,纵横交错、龙飞凤舞的溪流、瀑布,是它写不完的草书……

黄山啊,我不得不相信:你的身体是泥做的,而灵魂是水做的。那深邃而温柔的泉眼,有你灵魂的起源。半梦半醒之间的,是分不出性别的森林和随时变幻着面孔的云。

黄山,你的身体醉了,你的灵魂也醉了。

泉是水的初恋。没有海誓山盟, 依然刻骨铭心。在离别之后,终日以泪洗面。

处女一样的清泉,赤子一样的温泉,正如亚当与夏娃,回忆着伊甸园,回忆着初恋的那一瞬间。黄山,一个人远离人间烟火的浪漫世界。哦,我最畏惧的不是死亡,不是睡眠,而是醒来之后的告别……

人的记忆里,初恋最纯洁。

水的记忆,最纯洁的,是……刚刚诞生的泉。

在山外就听见水声,似曾相识,又无比陌生。黄山是一种诱惑,温泉则是诱惑里的诱惑。水中有一个你从来没有到过的家,为寻找温泉,我迷路了。迷路本身,就是一条另类的路线。

我来黄山,寻找温泉,寻找初恋之前的初恋――那一份几乎已被彻底遗忘的浪漫与纯洁。寂寞的温暖,也期待我的拥抱,不时在我耳边小声呢喃:轻一点,轻一点……而我请求着的则是时间:慢一些,慢一些……

虽然第一次见面,但我对黄山,早就有了乡愁。它是我不曾见过的故乡。

来到黄山,我的双眼,成了最小的温泉。温泉中的温泉,它只为美而流溢。

泉啊,又是山的乳汁、山的泪眼,日复一日,用一行又一行的热泪,为黄山――这座沉默的乐器,安上一根根充满弹性的琴弦。

飞鸟掠过,留下羽毛;落叶掠过,留下影子;影子掠过,留下再也看不见的风……风的手指掠过,一位无形的演奏者,留下无法模仿的颤音。黄山,我走了,留下记忆里的倒影,和倒影里的记忆,构成经久不散的涟漪。

1.文章作者说“黄山作证,那著名的人字瀑,就是泉水的成年礼!一次美丽得让人心跳的考验。”这是怎样的一次美丽得让人心跳的考验?联系文章的内容,试从内容、形式两方面回答。

【答案】 内容上:写出了黄山之泉――人字瀑告别童真、青涩和幼稚,逐渐走向成长的过程。形式上:首先,采用拟人的修辞方法,赋予人字瀑泉水以人之行为、灵性,写出泉水成年之礼的惊心动魄;其次,用树的开花、结果、长出枝叶以及人的成长过程比拟泉水的成长过程,形象地写出了泉水的美丽,充满活力。

2.文章的标题是“黄山寻泉”,作者从哪三个层面在寻找?结合全文内容,请你用简洁的语言加以概括。

【答案】(1)寻自然之美(泉水);(2)寻黄山的历史、文化;(3)寻那份属于自己的独特感受。

3.“迷路本身,就是一条另类的路线。”结合文章的内容,说说你对“一条另类的路线”的理解。

【答案】 追寻黄山的历史、文化和属于自己的独特感受。

4.文章结尾段,主要运用了哪些修辞方法写出了作者告别黄山泉水后心中荡起的涟漪?结尾这样写的好处是什么?

【答案】 拟人、排比。好处:(1)修辞表达上:排比手法的运用,将作者对黄山之泉的热爱之情以及离别后对泉水的牵挂、依恋、感动写得形象生动,具体可感;似人手法的运用,赋予黄山及其泉水人之灵性,人之情感,读之亲切,品之有味。(2)行文构思上:与前文照应,点明了黄山寻泉、寻梦的结果是:留下了许多温馨、美好、浪漫、刻骨铭心的记忆,进而抒发了作者对黄山之泉的那份发自肺腑的感动之情。

二、阅读下面的文字,完成1~4题。

黄河意识流

洪 烛

青海的花儿,内蒙古的长调,陕北的信天游,山西的《走西口》一类谣曲……越是接近黄河的源头和上游,歌声越是苍凉浑朴。莫非民歌也跟黄河一样,越流越浑浊了,逐渐由纯粹的自然进入世俗烟火之中?

若把黄河流域不同省份的民歌逐一收集起来(西部歌王王洛宾就做过类似的事),本身就是一部编年史般厚重而又有层次感的书!记载黄河的风声、雨声、涛声、桨声,也记载黄河之子情不自禁的感叹与倾诉。民歌,是音乐中最有人情味的。

虽然《诗经》与汉乐府的时代已过去了,黄河,仍需要新的采诗官,手持木铎,在纵横阡陌间且走且歌……

一条河流,或大或小,可以为一座村庄命名,可以为一个县、一个市、一个省命名。还可以为一个国家命名。从甘肃到陕西,从河南到河北,从山西到山东,诸如此类的一些地方,河流的影子无所不在。饮水思源,它使沿岸的居民多多少少拥有某种虚拟而固执的血缘关系。黄河流域的古老文明,是有代表性的。一条河流,甚至可以为一个民族的性格命名。

当然,它也可以为一个人命名。提起那位叫冼星海的作曲家,我首先想到黄河,想到风吼马嘶的《黄河大合唱》。他谱写这首曲子,无形中成为黄河的代言人。山河破碎的危急时刻,他于现实的黄河之外,创造出一条听觉中的黄河,铁流滚滚;正如他那个时代的兄弟姐妹,在秦砖汉瓦的万里长城之外,又携手打造一道“血肉筑成的新的长城”(《义勇军进行曲》)。听觉中的黄河,算得上是这个民族最伟大的“护城河”――护卫长城的河。一条史诗般的河哟。流血、流汗、流泪、流火,同时流着熔化的铁水般的旋律,流着钢花般四溅的音符。哦,每一个音符都烫手!

冼星海的黄河,可比斯特劳斯的蓝色多瑙河之流凝重得多、悲壮得多。河流的心情通过音乐得以表现,得以宣泄。听觉中的黄河,永远是愤怒的。

李白说“黄河之水天上来”,此言不算彻底的夸张。黄河上游海拔高达2 000~4 000米,下游海拔却不足100米,回头仰望,确实是滔滔洪流从天而降。黄河入海,会回头望一望吗?这是一次隆重的告别,为之付出了无数的日日夜夜。黄河的起源,大抵是冰山上融化的雪水,李白说的没错。甘肃有个地方叫天水,每听见这个地名,我下意识地联想到黄河。

冬天的黄河,有时会被层冰覆盖,即所谓“欲渡黄河冰塞川”;一把透明的锁,把黄河锁住了。等着吧,春风会来的,那是另一把透明的钥匙。

黄河解冻,一个病人在苏醒,岸边新滋长出的柳条或其他树叶,是它惺忪的睡眼所眨动的睫毛。黄河苏醒,对于守望在岸边的我来说,仍然是梦境,梦境里的梦境……冰块坼裂并且相互碰撞的声音,如同忙乱的手指滑过琴弦,无秩序地发出梦的画外音。冰,是水的骨头。黄河水,也会长出硬骨头。

一群刚出生不久的鸭子,摇摇摆摆冲下堤坝,去黄河里试水。脚蹼的划动中,故乡一点点远了。但它们还是体会到某种阻力。这是它们第一次看见黄河。黄河,甚至记得这一群家禽的祖先。同样的画面,每年都会上演无数遍。鸭子当然不了解黄河意味着什么,只知道河里的水,有点儿冷。赶鸭子下河的诗人,才会尾随着,发一些多余的感慨……

山东的黄河和山西的黄河,有什么区别?白天的黄河和夜晚的黄河,有什么区别?早春二月的黄河和寒冬腊月的黄河,有什么区别?

即使同样作为守望者,我眼中的黄河,和你眼中的,有什么区别?黄河在变,变得太快了――每当眨一下眼……

蜜蜂分辨出两朵花的区别,我发现了黄河的每一点细微的变化。它的永恒,来自于无数的瞬间。我的凝视,不过使某个瞬间变得具体了。

1.作者在第三段说“黄河,仍需要新的采诗官”,这样说的原因是什么?

【答案】 ①黄河流域的民歌记载着黄河儿女的生存状态。②黄河流域的民歌记载着黄河儿女的感叹与倾诉。

2.解释下列两句话在文中的含意。

(1)听觉中的黄河,算得上是这个民族最伟大的“护城河”――护卫长城的河。

(2)冰,是水的骨头。黄河水,也会长出硬骨头。

【答案】 (1)“长城”喻指中华民族,“护城河”喻指关于黄河的歌。这句话的意思是,关于黄河的歌,特别是冼星海的《黄河大河唱》振奋了中华民族同侵略者进行殊死拼杀的精神。

(2)苦难,是对中华民族的磨砺,在苦难中锻造了中华民族坚强不屈的精神。

3.在第七、八两段中,作者引用了李白的诗句,这样表达有何作用?

【答案】 ①引用“黄河之水天上来”,既衬托出中华文明历史久远,又形象地表现了中华民族的豪迈气概。②引用“欲渡黄河冰塞川”形象地说明中华民族曾历尽磨难。③借用名人诗句,能激发读者的联想,增添作品的艺术容量,提升作品的文化品位。

4.文章第十段刻画的“鸭子”形象具有怎样的特点?作者刻画这一形象的用意是什么?

【答案】 ①“鸭子”形象的特点:新生,勇于探求,不畏困难。②作者刻画这一形象,是为了艺术地表达写作意图:赞美新时代的中国人民发扬中华民族的光荣传统,不畏艰难,努力追求新生活的精神。

On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, Dan Heins had a routine:He had kidney dialysis (肾透析) from 6:00 am to 10:00 am;then he had breakfast at the Main Street restaurant near his home;next, he went to work at his insurance office down the block.Nancy Volk, the 56-year-old owner of the restaurant, knew that Dan's routine was caused by kidney failure.And Dan knew that Nancy, a single mother with three grown daughters, worked at two other jobs to keep the restaurant open and meet her house payments.

One morning as he ordered his breakfast, Dan Heins said he would be on kidney dialysis the rest of his life if he didn't receive a transplant.“I'll donate, ”Nancy said simply.A stranger volunteered to give him an organ!It seemed unreal to Dan, but Nancy spent weeks trying to convince him she was serious.The day before Thanksgiving, the results of the medical tests came in:She was a right person to donate the kidney to Dan.

In the months coming near to the transplant, Nancy's financial situation grew worse.Her home was going into foreclosure (抵押品赎回权的取消) .Although she loved the restaurant, she decided to close it.Dan's insurance would cover her operation costs, but Nancy wouldn't be able to work at her part-time jobs for six weeks.

Steve Ohlsen, a regular customer of the restaurant, put a donation box in the restaurant.In one month, the customers visiting the restaurant gave Nancy several thousand dollars—enough to cover payments on her home while she recovered.

“This was all because the local people were willing to reach into their pockets, ”says Ohlsen.

Nancy and Dan had their operations.Four months later, Dan was off dialysis, and Nancy sent thank-you notes to her supporters.

56.What is the text mainly about?

A.A woman who helped her customer and was helped by the local people.

B.How two strangers developed their friendship during a kidney transplant.

C.People's donation of money and organ to Dan.

D.The miracle that a stranger donated the kidney to the customer without payment.

57.From the first paragraph, we can infer that Dan Heins and Nancy Volk are.

A.neighborsB.street lovers

C.close friendsD.employee and boss

58.According to the text, which of the following is TRUE?

A.Nancy not only ran a restaurant, but also had three other jobs.

Is crying good therapy?Experts say yes.Having a good weep at the weekend is becoming more popular among office workers in China.

“I need to cry to let my feelings out, ”said22-year-old Guo Meng, a smart-looking young woman.“I remember one day when I got home I felt so down but had no one to talk to, so I just curled up (蜷缩) with my teddy bear and cried myself to sleep, ”Guo said.The next day, she said, she felt much better and life seemed not so bad after all.

Because crying is taken as a sign of weakness, people make a great show of being strong and not displaying emotion.Psychologists and medical practitioners agree that crying is beneficial for mental health but people still regard it as a sign is normal, and even brave.Those who display their emotions can deal with their troubles bravely after the tears dry, while those who soldier on let problems fester.

In the Chaoyang district of Beijing, there is a special place for people to cry their sadness out.It is called“Cry Bar”.On the door of each of its“cry rooms”there is a saying encouraging people to let the tears flow freely.

“Crying is a kind of therapy, but it needs some direction, ”said Milulu, a psychologist.

“People should realize the point of crying is to relieve pressure, but some of the young people who come to the Cry Bar simply sit and weep.The purpose of crying is to make it easier to improve your life after the tears dry, not to get lost in bad memories.”

Crying is only one way of relieving pressure, and we need to face problems squarely (正面的) and solve them once the tears have dried, said Milulu.

59.Cryingmade Guo Meng feel better.

A.with some friend

B.all the night with a toy

C.during her sleep

D.in bed before sleep

D.Hold back their tears until they can't help but cry.

62.From the text, we can learn that crying.

A.is the only way to relieve pressure

B.must help to solve problems

C.means facing problems squarely

D.can't weaken sad feelings

C

While the factors riving the modern family are many and complex—from the explosion of technology to the influx (涌入) of mothers into the workforce—parental fear may be at the heart of today's rushed (匆忙的) approach to childrearing (养育孩子) , some experts say.

Parents fear everything from media exposure to violence to peer pressure, says Alan Mirabelli, executive director of Ottawa think tank.Perhaps most of all, there's the fear that their kids won't be equipped to compete in the future.

Some might argue that today's parents are micromanagers because, unlike those who raised families during the Depression and World War II, they don't have enough real worries.But Mirabelli says it comes down to a different context and a different set of challenges.

He notes that while parents 25 or 30 years ago had the modest goals of providing their offspring with more than they had, the current driving force is the desperation to equip kids for a dog-eat-dog world.

They demand tougher schools, a heftier (容量更大的) curriculum and standardized testing to measure performance.Outside the school system, they fill in the gaps with tutoring, music lessons, art classes, gymnastics and hockey.For those who can't afford it, there's the additional stress and fear that their kids don't stand a chance.

David Elkind, a renowned child psychologist and author of The Hurried Child, says hyper-parenting is a reaction to a world changing so fast and we have no idea how to prepare kids for it.Parents can't envision the society their kids will inhabit as adults, so they try to cover all the possibilities, cramming in as much as possible and operating on the principle that earlier that earlier is better.“This works against the notion of‘let children, '”said David Elkind.

63.The biggest fear of parents is that their children.

A.will change for the worse because of media influence

B.will get involved in violence

C.will fall behind in future competition

D.will compare themselves with peers

64.David Elkind holds the view that.

A.parents should equip their kids for a changing world

B.parents shouldn't worry too much about their children

C.parents shouldn't destroy the childhood of their children

D.it's better for parents to foresee the future society

65.We can conclude from the text that.

A.children today can't enjoy a real childhood

B.children today are better equipped for the future

C.parents today actually have no real worries

D.parents today face more challenges actually

66.The underlined word“it”in the fifth paragraph probably refers to.

A.the tough education

B.a good environment

C.a colorful after-school activity

D.a rich and happy life

D

Many plants and animal live together, and they depend on each other.They are usually very different from their sharing partner, and yet all live easier lives because of each other.It is nature's idea of sharing.

An example of this is the shark and pilot fish.The pilot fish is a little guy and he would be helpless if he hung around by himself in the great ocean.But his smartness makes up for his size.He cleverly swims along beside the shark and when the shark eats, the pilot fish gets the leftovers.The shark also benefits from this relationship.The pilot fish cleans food scraps (碎屑) and insects from the shark's skin.

Another example is the sea anemone and striped clown fish.The sea anemone looks like a flower but contains poisonous cells.When small fish swim into it, the anemone traps and paralyzes (使麻痹) them.However, the clown fish is able to swim into the poisonousanemone without being harmed.To pay for his safety, the clown fish brings food to the anemone.He also guides other fish into the anemone's deadly trap.

Large mammals such as the ox, antelope and African buffalo form such a relationship with the oxpecker.They provide daily meals to the bird that eats insects.The various large mammals act as a restaurant with a varied menu for the oxpecker.What do they get in return from the bird?Free beauty treatments!

Some plants live together in a beneficial relationship.Fungus (菌类) does not have chlorophyll (叶绿素) that plants need to make food.However, the green alga (海藻) does contain chlorophyll.It is, therefore, able to feed the fungus along with itself.But nothing is free!The fungus repays it by protecting the alga.Since it takes in and stores water, it can provide the alga with an unending water supply.

67.Why does the pilot fish swim along beside the shark?

A.To do the cleaning for the shark.

B.To help the shark to get food.

C.To get food and protection.

D.To find some insects.

68.In order to repay the sea anemone, the striped clown fish.

A.paralyzes animals for the sea anemone

B.leads other fish into the anemone

C.harms other fish with poison

2013年高考英语模拟试题 (三) 参考答案

第二部分:英语知识运用

第一节单项填空

21.A。本题考查冠词。success通常作不可数名词, 但却用a success表示“一个成功的人或一件成功的事”;a business empire意为“一个商业帝国”。题意为“他早期的事业并不很成功, 但经过多年打拼, 他创建了一个商业帝国。”

22.C。本题考查交际用语。本题的交际语境是如何表示安慰。对方说他母亲生病了, 此时应该表示安慰, 帮对方分担忧虑, 选C, 而不是A, D项空泛地让对方别着急。

23.D。本题考查限定词, 答语的意思是“恐怕两天都不行”, 所以用neither表示“两者都不”。

24.D。本题考查名词辨析。Beyond all description是习惯搭配, 意思是“无法用语言描述”。

25.B。本题考查时态和语态。用现在进行时表示decorate这一被动行为现阶段正在进行。句意为:“我们还没搬进新办公大楼, 现在正在装修。”

26.C。本题考查介词。by+数量词, 表示升降, 增减的程度;距离和面积, 体积中的尺寸及乘除法中的运算。

27.C。本题考查倒装。以否定词not起始的句子, 其主谓应倒装, 事情发生在过去, 应用一般过去时。句意为:Kate今年暑假非常不愉快。没有一天不跟妹妹在家闹别扭。

28.B。本题考查形容词的比较级。句意为:年轻的小提琴家很兴奋, 因为他举行的音乐会从来没有如此成功过。根据句意可知, 应用形容词比较级。“the concert given by him has never been more successful”后面省略了than this one。故选B项。

29.B。本题考查连词。题意为“既然你从不给他机会尝试一下, 你怎么能够期待他会有任何进步呢?”when在此表示“既然”, 相当于since。

30.D。本题考查情态动词。would在此处为情态动词, 表示某人过去经常做的事, 意为“老是, 总是”。

31.B。本题考查非谓语动词。题意为“人们希望将于2014年底完工的这项工程能成为这个城市受欢迎的一个旅游景点。”to be accomplished是不定式的被动式作定语, 修饰this project, 表示被动和将来。

32.A。本题考查宾语从句中的引导词。题意为“这项工作的进展情况将取决于天气条件和设备的现代化程度。”depend on后面接有两个宾语从句, 分别由what和how引导。

33.D。本题考查时态。用现在进行时表示将来, 有“意图”“安排”或“打算”的含义。

34.B。本题考查定语从句。who引导定语从句, 并在从句中作主语。we thought为插入语。句意为“我们原以为那个年轻人会被解雇, 但他却被提升为公司销售部经理。”

35.A。本题考查短语动词辨析。break out指 (战争, 火灾等) 突然爆发, 符合句意:突然起火了, 我们大家都吓坏了, 幸运的是, 火灾没造成多大损失就被扑灭了。come out“出现, 开花, 出版”;give out“用完, 发出 (光, 热等) ”;turn out“结果是”均不符合题意, 故选A。

Researchers in Hungary have confirmedsomething many dog owners have long suspected:that canines understand our feelings.

Using a Magnetic Resonance Scanner, orMRI,scientists found that when it comes to emotions,dogs' brains are similar to those of humans.

Dogs are usually not relaxed in a lab environment,but with a little petting and lots of treatsthey can be trained to sit still even in an MRIscanner. That's how researchers in Hungary'sELTE University were able to get images of theirbrains at work.

Research fellow Attila Andics says it helpedthem better understand the dogs' relationship withhumans.

“We have known for a long time that dogsand humans share similar social environment,but now our results show that dogs and humans alsohave similar brain mechanisms to process socialinformation,”said Andics.

After training 11 dogs to stay motionlesswhile their brains were scanned,the researcherschecked their neurological responses to about 200emotionally significant sounds,from whining andcrying to playful barking and laughing. They thencompared the responses from human subjects.They found striking similarities. Andics says itopens new possibilities for research.

“It establishes a foundation of a new branchof comparative neuroscience,because until now itwas not possible to measure the brain activities ofa non-primate and the primate brain in a singleexperiment,”said Andics.

The canine mind is also being studied atDuke University,in North Carolina. Co-Directorof the school's Canine Cognition Center, EvanMac Lean,says that the Hungarian results are animportant step forward.

“We've known for a long time that dogs havea lot of behavioral similarities compared to humans. But we don't know anything or very little atleast about whether some of these behaviors arerepresented similarly inside the brain of the dog,so this research is providing a first glimpses towhether these behavioral similarities are underlined by similar neural processes,” said Mac Lean.

And what that tells ordinary dog owners,theHungarian scientists say,is to treat your caninecompanions as friends, not mere animals, because they evidently understand human feelings.

21. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. It illustrates the development of neuroscience.

B. It presents a new biological research.

C. It calls on the public to treat dogs asfriends as they can understand human feelings.

D. It shows how advanced technology andequipment support a research.

22. How does the scientific method workduring the research of dogs?

A. Observation, Experiment, Data collection,Conclusion,Question

B. Observation, Experiment, Data collection,Question,Conclusion

C. Observation,Question,Experiment,Datacollection,Conclusion

D. Question,Observation,Data collection,Experiment,Conclusion

23. It is implied in the sixth paragraph that______.

A. all the responses between the dogs andhumans are the same

B. the Hungarian research would make itpossible for researchers to further study

C. different animals respond to the 200 emotionally significant sounds differently

D. not all the dogs were scanned duringthe research

B

Being a mother is apparently not like it wasin the good old days.

Today's parents yearn for the golden age thattheir own mothers enjoyed in the 1970s and1980s,researchers found.

Mothers have less time to themselves and feelunder greater pressure towork and familylife than the previous generation.

As a result,88 percent said they felt guiltyabout the lack of time they spent with their children.

The survey of 1,000 mothers also found thatmore than a third said they had less time to themselves than their mothers did — just three hours aweek or 26 minutes a day.

And 64 percent said this was because theyfelt they had to go out to work,while nearly athird ( 29 percent) said they were under constantpressure to be the perfect mother, the reportfound.

Other findings showed social networking andparenting websites,as well as technology such asSkype,were important in providing help and support among female communities.

Kate Fox,of the Social Issues Research Centre,which conducted the survey for Procter &Gamble,said“With increasing pressure on mothers to work a ‘double shift ’— to be a perfectmother as well as a wage-earner — support networks are more important than ever. ”

It comes as a separate report examiningchildcare in the leading industrialized nationsfound that working mothers in Britain spend just81 minutes a day caring for their children as a‘primary activity'.

Mothers who stay at home, on the otherhand,manage twice as much time — more thantwo and a half hours — looking after their offspring, accordingtotheOrganizationforEconomic Co-operation and Development.

Critics say the pressure on women to worklong hours,and leave their offspring in the handsof nurseries or childminders,is putting the wellbeing of their children at risk.

The study also reveals that,despite the factthat more and more modern mothers go out towork,the burden of childcare still falls on them— even if their husband is not in work.

A father who is not in work tends to spendjust 63 minutes a day looking after his child — 18minutes less than a mother who goes out to work.

Working fathers spare less than three quarters of an hour with their children.

24. The underlined word “ juggle ” in thethird paragraph most probably means.

A. deal with B. look for

C. fight with D. meet with

25. The working mothers and the motherswho stay at home mainly differ in that.

A. the working mothers spend more time caring for their children

B. the mothers who stay at home spend moretime caring for their children

C. the working mothers and the mothers whostay at home have different attitudes to children

D. the working mothers care more about theirchildren

26. What's the main idea of the passage?

A. Motherhood was harder nowadays.

B. It is easier to be a mother than before.

C. Mothers should spend more time with theirchildren.

D. Fathers spend little time looking after theirchildren.

27. What is the tone of the writer?

A. Pessimistic.B. Excited.

C. Objective.D. Sympathetic.

About 70 percent of the new diseases thathave infected humans in recent decades havecome from animals. The U. N. Food and Agriculture Organization warn it's getting easier for diseases to make that jump as the population and foodsupply chains grow.

The FAO has released a new reported calledWorld Livestock 2013: Changing Disease Landscapes. It says those landscapes have become“vastly more complicated”by human activity.

“I think that if we continue the state of play,we'll only see more diseases emerge — more natural resources disappear — and more threats to thehuman health into the food chain,” said JuanLubroth,the agency's Chief Veterinary Officer.

He described conditions as the “perfect microbial storm”.

“We have certain issues such as climatechange,particularly humidity and tropical weathers. We have increased globalization,more trafficacross the world. People traveling more, moretrade. We are occupying habitats that previouslywe as humans did not really know those ecologicalniches were occupied by other species. But weare invading them. ”

He said inadequate healthcare systems andsanitation infrastructure( 卫生设施) raise the riskof disease in poor areas. And as populationgrows,livestock production intensifies,which hasits own set of risk factors.

“As we intensify livestock production,wehave created,let's say,a monoculture. By usingantibiotics,for example,as growth promoters orantibiotics without the supervision( 监督) of qualified personnel,we do allow for disease resistantorganisms to go throughout the herd or throughoutthe community. And this can,at the end,affecthuman health,”he said.

Lubroth gave some examples of diseases thathave jumped from animals to humans.

“The origin of the human immunodeficiency( 免疫缺陷) virus,HIV,which causes AIDS,probably had its precursor in something that weknow today to be simian or monkey immunodeficiency virus. And then even more recently,wehave the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome,which is caused by a corona virus,which likelyhas an animal origin. We are at the point in research,which we still are trying to find out whatorigin that is. ”

Other diseases that have emerged from animals over the last five to ten years,he says,include the Nipah and Hendra viruses. These areusually found in bats.

“Probably more familiar to your readers orlisteners will be the H5N1avian influenza,whichin 2003 spread in Southeast Asia. And by 2006was present in over 60 countries and territories,”he said.

The Food and Agriculture Organization iscalling for a holistic approach to meet the growingdisease threat. This involves scientists,researchers and doctors and others from many disciplinesworking together and sharing information.

The report said the holistic approach includesreducing poverty, addressing biological threatsposed by globalization and climate change andbetter safety and health measures in livestock production.

The FAO Chief Veterinary Officer is promoting — what he called — dealing with the diseaseat source. He said that means snuffing out a potential outbreak at a particular location,village ortown before it can spread.

28. How many examples of diseases arementioned in the whole passage?

A. 5. B. 6.

C. 7. D. 8.

29. The last three paragraphs play a role in the whole structure of the passage as______.

A. Recommendation

B. Conclusion

C. Introduction

D. Body

30.We can read this passage on a (an)______.

A. biography

B. fiction

C. science newspaper

D. advertisement

Arlene Phillips: My dream is to keep dancing until I'm 80

As one of Britain's best known choreographers( 编舞 ) ,Arlene Phillips has had more thanher fair share of dance floor tumbles. But the onethat still leaves her wincing is the memory of aspectacular fall she suffered 44 years ago while filming a television show with Welsh singer Sir TomJones.

“It's the most excruciating pain I've ever endured,”says Arlene,whoin the1970s when she formed racy dance troupe HotGossip and went on to choreograph West Endshows such as Starlight Express and We Will RockYou. “We were filming the Tom Jones show in1967 at Elstree Studios in north London and theproducers wanted me and another performer,Juliet Prowse,to dance on a table in a kind of stagedfight over Tom,” explains the former Strictlyjudge who lives in London with her partner AngusIon.

“There was a point where Juliet was supposed to push me and I had to jump off the tablebut during the final camera rehearsal the jumpthrew me and because of the way I landed I was inagony. Yet nothing was going to stop me from doing the actual show so I dosed myself with painkillers and carried on but it took me a long timeand many visits to all sorts of physiotherapists( 理疗医师) to recover. ”

Back pain affects 80 percent of the UK population at some point in their lives. Contrary to theold belief that bed rest is the best treatment for theailment,official advice now for treating back painis to keep as active as possible and take a coupleof paracetamol when needed. It is an approachArlene,who has daughters Alana,33,and Abi,22,has always followed. “Throughout my careerI've just worked through any injuries. Howeverbad the pain I've always kept going and it's stillthe same today,”she explains.

Arlene also got severe knee pain. “About 20years ago,I started doing more American jazz andthe newly formed rock jazz style of dancing whichinvolved dropping down on to my knees a lot moreand that's when my knee pain first started. Gradually it increased to the point where I stopped running because I thought I was beating my knees todeath. ”

“When I was choreographing,the bendingdown then jumping back up again really began tohurt. I'm a bit obsessive about cleaning and I noticed that when I got on my hands and knees toclean,the pain in my right knee was worse andbecoming increasingly aggravating ( 加重) . ”Arlene soldiered on without seeking professionaltreatment until she attended a dinner party wherea physiotherapist and osteopath were extolling thevirtues of rose hip for their patients' joint pain.She decided to try it herself,with extraordinaryresults.

Even though she turned 70 last May,Arleneis showing no signs of slowing down.
