B4, we usd 2go2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & 3 kds FTF.”The Scottish teacher who received it in class had no idea what the girl who wrote it meant. The essay was written in a form of English used in cell phone text messages. Text messages (also called SMS) through cell phones became very popular in the late 1990s. At first, mobile phone companies thought that text messaging would be a good way to send messages to customers, but customers quickly began to use the text messaging service to send messages to each other. Teenagers in particular enjoyed using text messaging, and they began to create a new language for messages called “texting.”A text message is limited to 160 characters, including letters, spaces, and numbers, so messages must be kept short. In addition, typing on the small keypad of a cell phone is difficult, so it'scommon to make words shorter. In texting, a single letter or number can represent a word, like “r” for “are,”“u” for “you,” and “2”for “to.”Several letters can also represent a phrase, like “lol”for “laughing out loud.”Another characteristic of texting is the leaving out of letters in a word, like spelling “please”as “pls.”Some parents and teachers worry that texting will make children bad spellers and bad writers. The student who wrote the essay at the top of this page said writing that way was more comfortable for her. (The essay said, “My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three kids face to face.”)Not everyone agrees that texting is a bad thing. Some experts say languages always develop, and this is just another way in which English is changing. Other people believe texting will disappear soon.

He was a man famous for his escapes from prison cells, from wooden boxes floating in rivers, from locked tanks full of water. He appeared in theaters all over Europe and America. Crowds came to see the great Houdini and his “magic” tricks.Of course, his secret was not magic, or supernatural powers. It was simply strength. He had the ability to move his toes as well as he moved his fingers. He could move his body into almost any position he wanted.Houdini started working in the entertainment world when he was 17 in 1891. He and his brother Theo performed card tricks in a club in New York. They called themselves the Houdini Brothers. When Harry married in 1894, he and his wife Bess worked together as magician and assistant. But for a long time they were not very successful. Then Harry performed his first prison escape, in Chicago in 1898. Harry persuaded a detective to let him try to escape from the prison, and he invited the local newspapermen to watch.It was the publicity that came from this that started Harry Houdini’s success.Harry had fingers trained to escape from handcuffs and toestrained to escape from ankle chains. But his biggest secret was how he unlocked the prison doors. Every time he went into the prison cell, Bess gave him a kiss for good luck and a small skeleton key, which is a key that fits many locks, passed quickly from her mouth to his.Harry used these prison escapes to build his fame. He arranged to escape from the local jail of every town he visited. In the afternoon, the people of the town would read about it in their local newspapers, and in the evening every seat in the local theater would be full. What was the result? Worldwide fame, anda name remembered today.1. According to the passage, Houdini’s success in prison escapes depends on ________.A. his magic tricks and unhuman powersB. his special tricks and a skeleton keyC. his unusual ability and a skeleton keyD. his unhuman talents and magic tricks2. In the fourth paragraph, the word “this” refers to ________.A. the previous sentenceB. “the publicity”C. the place, ChicagoD. the time, 18983. According to the passage, how did Houdini get the key which helped him unlock prison doors?A. He took the key from his wife’s mouth.B. His wife passed it to his hand while kissing him.C. His wife gave it to him by a magic trick.D. He got it in his mouth through a kiss by the wife.4. It can be inferred from the passage that Houdini became famous _________.A. when he was about 24B. when he was about 17C. after the year 1894D. before the year 18985. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Houdini used to be a famous magician in the USA.B. Houdini was first recognized widely in Chicago.C.

But because the FDA would allow cloned meat and milk to be sold without identifying labels, consumers wouldn’t be able to avoid them. The FDA has consistently tilted toward those who want cloned milk and meat in our food. Agency officials have repeatedly asserted that science shows cloned milk and meat are safe for humans. But theFDA has never published the complete scientific studies it says support that claim.The argument that cloning is safe for animals is unconvincing. Cloned meat and milk offer no public economic benefits. Having cloned cows produce more milk wouldn’t reduce milk prices. US farmers produce more milk than we drink, and the government is required to buy the surplus. Since 2000, dairy support programs have cost taxpayers more than $ 5 billion.Most important, this first decision to advance animal biotechnology raises ethical issues beyond the FDA’s expertise. Techniques used to clone animals will advance the ability to clone humans－and create animals with human genes. Neither the agency nor animal scientists are qualified to tell us whether and when it is ethically acceptable for humans to alter the essential nature of animals. We need a national discussion, including ethicists and religious leaders, to consider the wisdom of cloned and transgenic animals. Given the risk of unintended consequences, we should proceed cautiously. The president should halt further FDA action on cloning and set in motion a process for beginning this broader discussion.1．The author’s attitude towards cloning is __________. A．neutral B．opposed C．approving D．supportive2．In US many people buy cloned foods __________.A．to support the new technique B．because FDA approved themC．because they cannot tell which is cloned food D．because they cannot read the labels.3．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Because more milk is produced by cloned cows, the milk price is reduced.B．American farmers produce more milk than the people can consume. C．FDA approved that cloned food is safe for human beings. D．More and more people accept cloned milk and meat.4．From the text we know that cloning technique ___________. A．developed well enough to clone human beingsB．may cause unintended bad results to human beingsC．will bring more unexpected economic benefitsD．is supported by ethicists and religious leaders5．What’s the best title of this passage?A．Publice Is Against Cloned Food B．Benefits of Cloned Food C．Cloned Food Is Illegal D．Technique in Cloned Food16,Everyone agrees that it’s necessary to reduce carbon emissions (排放物) around the world. There is less agreement over exactly how nations should go about achieving a more carbon - free planet. Thus, the environmental equivalent of Elvis vs. the Beatles: cap - and - trade carbon emissions, or place a carbontax on all users? With cap - and - trade programs, governments limit the level of carbon produced by an industry. Companies that hold their emissions below the cap can sell their remaining allowance on a carbon market, while companies that go beyond their limit must purchase credits on that market. Carbon taxes are more straightforward: a set tax rate is placed on the consumption of carbon in any form - fossil-fuel electricity, gasoline - with the idea that raising the price will encourage industries and individuals to consume less. At the moment, cap - and - trade has the upper hand, since it serves as the backbone of the current Kyoto Protocol, and helped the U.S. reduce acid rain in the 1990s-but don't write off (勾销,取消) the tax just yet. . Supporters of the tax argue that a cap - and - trade system would be too difficult to administer - and too easily gamed by industries looking to sidestep emissions caps. Cap - and - trade advocators counter that like all other flat taxes, a carbon collection would relatively burden lower - income families, who spend a greater percentage of their income on energy than rich households.So which system will have a larger effect on carbon consumption?A 10% carbon tax might reduce the demand for carbon about 5 % or less, according to an analysis by the Carbon Tax Center, an environmental advocacy group. That may not be enough. Businesses and governments haven’t figured out how the two competing systems can work together, but in the end, the world may need both. 1．The passage focuses on .A．programs of collecting taxes B．systems of reducing carbon emissionsC．reasons for reducing carbon emissions D．contradictions between the two systems2．According to the cap - and - trade program, companies . A．are forbidden to produce carbon emissionsB．are allocated the same amount of carbon consumptionC．can sell their remaining allowance within their limits D．can sell the extra amount of carbon at a higher price 3．Carbon taxes work by .A．burdening well - off familiesB．encouraging industries to consume carbonC．raising the price for carbon consumptionD．limiting the carbon consumption of industries only 4．The underlined word “cap” in the second paragraph most likely refers to .A．limit B．credit C．level D．rate 5．We can learn from the passage .A．carbon taxes are difficult to carry outB．cap - and - trade plays a greater role at presentC．cap - and - trade will be preferable in the future D．carbon taxes will be preferable in the future17,Every year, we celebrate many special days----Mother’s Day, Father’s, and New Year’s Day. In some countries, there is a particular day for people to pull their leg with each other, which happens always before 12 o’clock a.m. In North America and parts of Europe, this day is known as April Fool’s Day, and is celebrated on April the first.Many believe that the French started April Fool’s Day. Centuries ago, New Year’s Day in Europe was April 1. In 1582, the calendar changed and King Charles IX of France moved it to January 1. But many people______________________________, and they still chose to keep April 1 as New Year’s Day. Many called these people ‘April Fools’ and played practical jokes and tricks on them. Over Time, April 1 became a day to have fun in France. It then spread to England and Scotland, and later, to North America.On April Fool’s Day, practical jokes are common. In the United States, for example, a person may move a friend’s clock ahead one hour, or switch the sugar and salt. In Scotland, April Fool’s Day lasts for two days. The second day is called ‘Taily Day’----for one’s ‘tail.’On this day, people might secretly put a sign saying‘kick me’on a person’s back or behind. Other countries have their own ‘Fool’s Day.’ In Spain and Mexico, people play tricks on each other on December 28.

Many peoplethink that in the future computers will be used in lots of everyday life. It isthought that we won’ t have to go shopping because we will be able to get mostthings which are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all te_ts from computers. The Internet will beused to play games, see films and buy food. Most telephone calls will be madeby computers,too.Some people are glad about those new ways of shopping and communicating. Others do not think that computers will replace our old ways.Some people think that one day we will not read books madeof paper. Instead,we will buy and read books using computers, which will keepmany different books in them at the same time. We won’t need to turn lots ofpages and paper will be saved. Computerized books will be used more and more.While many people say it is a pleasure to go into shops andlook at things you want to buy. It is also unlikely that many people will wantto read large te_ts on our computers. Because paper books will perhaps be morefriendly. Maybe computers won’t change these two habits.56. Which is the mainidea of this passage?A. People like going shoppingB. Reading books is importantC. Computers are importantD. Computer can be used to play games57. Which of thefollowing is TRUE?A. We can see films by computers.B.People all like to go shopping by computers.C. We can’ t buy anything using computers.D. All the people like reading books from computers.58. Which of thefollowing is mentioned in the passage?A. Computers can help us e-mail our friends.B.We can chat by using computers.C. Computers can help us make telephone calls.D. We can listen to the music by computers.BEd Viesturs grew up in Rockford, Illinois, where thetallest thing on the horizon was the water tower. But on Thursday, Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the world’s 14 highest mountains.His last hike was up Mount Annapurna,in Asia’ s snowcapped Himalayas. At 26,545 feet, its peak is the 10th highest in the world. It is themountain that inspired him to start climbing. ;It tends to be the trickiest, the most dangerous,; said Viesturs. ;There’s no simple way to climb it. There are threatening avalanches(雪崩) and ice fallsthat protect the mountain.;In high school, Viesturs read French climber MauriceHerzog’s tale of climbing the icy Annapuma. Herzog’s story was of frostbite (冻伤)and difficulty and near-death e_periences. Viesturs was hooked right away.Viesturs got his start on Washington’s Mount Rainier in1977, guiding hikes in the summer. Fifteen years ago, he set out to walk up tothe world’s highest peaks. Finally, he’s done. The pioneering climber talksabout mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treatedwithrespect. ;You have to use all of your senses, all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it,; said Viesturs. ;If we havethe patience and the respect, and if we’re here at the right time, under theright circumstances, they allow us to go up, and allow us to come down.;What’s ne_t for a man who can’ tstop climbing? ;I’m going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer,; says Viesturs. But for a man who’ s climbed the world’s 14 tallest mountains, he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure.59. What record has EdViesturs set?A. He has succeeded in climbing to theworld’s 14th higbest mountain.B. He has been to the top of the world’s14 highest mountains.C. He has become the first to climb tothe height of 26,545feet.D. He has become the first man to climbto the top of 14 highest mountains in the world.60. The underlined word;hooked; in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by .A. frightenedB.discouragedC.interestedD. upset61. The author usedViesturs’ words in Paragraph 6 to support a view that ________.A. mountain climbing is a dangeroussportB. mountains should be regarded asliving creaturesC. mountain climbing needs more skillsthan physical energyD. those who like mountain climbingwon’t stop climbing62. What’ s the ne_tprobably plan of Viestures?A. Stopping climbing and staying withhis family.B. Climbing to the top of the world’s 14tallest mountains again.C. Climbing another one of the highestmountains.D. Writing down the e_periences abouthis adventure.CEveryday rubbish could provide avaluable source of energy thanks to a clever new nvention. Smelly methane (沼气)gas e_pelled fromlandfill sites containing tones of rotting houehold waste could be used toproduce a valuable energy resource. In Europe alone land fill tips produce 94billion cubic meters of methane per year but currently only one percent of whatcould be a valuable source of energy is used, the rest is burnt off to preventan e_plosive build up of gas.Methane gas forms when organicmatter breaks down and is drawn off from large rubbish tips by pipes sunkintothe middle of the waste. Until now this process wasn’t possible on small sitesbec ause the pipe allowed o_ygen to seep in and that stop the breakdown process.Viktor Popov of the Wesse_Institute of Technology has now developed a system to modify e_isting landfillsites by making them airtight while the methane is e_tracted from sunken wells.The site is covered by a special three-layered skin whose two outer layers aremade of clay with a pressurized (加压的)layerof carbon dio_ide gas in the middie. As the methane is sucked out through acentral well it is replaced by carbon dio_ide from the middle layer rather thano_ygen, allowing the breakdown process to continue.Unfortunately there arc no plansto use the power of methane even though Popov claims his invention could provide a valuable source of energy over the ne_t 20 years.63. The passage mainlyintroduces to us.A. how to make methaneB. a new way to make use of rubbishC. the valuable things in rubbishD. the amount of rubbish being reused64. From the passage wecan see that _________.A. in Europe 94 billion cubic meters ofmethane is producod every yearB. some of the waste will e_plode if itis not burnt offC. 99% of the rubbish has been burnt offin EuropeD. only a very small part of this kindof energy is used in Europe65. In the passage theunderlined word ;that; refers to _______.A. methane gasB. the long pipeC. o_ygenD. the rubbish66. Which of thefollowing statement is NOT true according to file passage.’?A. O_ygen can cause the breakdownprincess to stop.B. When the methane is sucked out,o_ygenwill enter from the middle layer.C. Carbon dio_ide doesn’t affect thebreakdown process.D. The new invention has not been putinto use.DA coal-fire stove (炉灶)provided beating for Zhao Yaoqin’s courtyard bungalow in a Beijing hutong allher life.This winter, however, the stovehas disappeared from the 66-year-old’s life, and an electric radiator takes itsplace beside her bed, a product to use clean energy in the national capital.With the Olympics to be, stagedin Beijing ne_t August, the city is determined to eliminate the use of coal within the Third Ring Road that circles the city before the Games.Theproject to replace the stoves with electric radiators has been part of the effort.When the city’s four-month longheating season started on Thursday, coal-fired stoves, known as a big source ofpollution in the big city, have disappeared from some 20,000 local householdslike Zhao’s bungalow in the inner city ;hutong; -- traditional alleyways (小巷) that date back to centuries.;We used to boil water orbake bread on the stove,; said Zhao, sounding Sentimental (伤感)In the disappearance of the coal furnace from her life.Late in the 1990s, Beijing’s airquality monitoring office found that the emissions (排放)of sulphur dio_ide and carbon mono_ide from the hutong areas have been higherthan the city’s average in winter, mainly because of the coal stoves. With theproject to switch to clean energy for heating launched in 1999, the emission level of the two poisonous substances decreased by 42 percent and 44 percent respectively, this year from _ levels.Zhao said the fee for electricalheat for the entire winter was usually around 2,400 yuan ( US $ 323 ) perhouselmld. With the government’ s subsidy (补贴) ,however,she only needed to pay about 500 yuan,nearly the same price as that for coal.67. Zhao Yaoqin’e_ample in the passage is to tell us that _______.A. peopie in Beijing using electricradiators to welcome the Olympics.B. people in Beijing are doing somethingto protect the envirunmenl.C. hutongs in Beijing have a longhistory.D. People pay more money to use electricradiators than before.68. The underlined wordeliminate probably means _______.A. cut down.B. increase.C.get rid of. D. replace69. We can infer fromthe passage that ________.A. Zhao Yaoqin has a strong and deepemotion with the use of coal-fire stove.B. The government will pay most of thefee.C. The air of Beijing has been badlypolluted since 1990s.D. The people do not use coal eightmonths in one year.70. Which of thefollowing is NOT true according to the passage?A. The clean air is important when the Olympics Games is held in Beijing.B. The success of the Olympics Games depends on the clean air.C. The government spare no effort tomake the environment better.D. The emission level of poisonous substances will be low in _.ESometimes life gets a little dull. What used to be fun anddifferent becomes boring. That is the time to look for something new. It is thetime for a big idea to get your mind off everyday life. So why not search fore_traterrestrial (地球外的) intelligence? Or even better, why not get your computer to do it for you?Over two million people have joined the Search forE_traterrestrial Intelligence ( SETI ) project. Based in California, the SETIproject analyzes information taken from a giant radio telescope based in SmithAmerica. Its task is to look for signals from outer space that might prove thatlife e_ists on other planets.Processing this information is far too big a job for onecomputer. So the SETI project workers divide the work among volunteers who visit their website. Each computer gets some information to work out from theSETI network through the Internet This process is often knownas ;metacomputing;.It is a wonderful thought. You are sleeping,eating a mealor going out with friends. All this time,your computer is searching the starsfor signs that might show something is out there trying to get in touch.Volunteers are proud of being involved in the SETI project. It shows that they understandthe potential (潜能) of computing. They know that it is more than just a wayof working or playing games.Metacomputing may also be creating intelligence as well aslooking for it. This idea is based on the theory that human intelligence is created by the way in which different parts in the brain communicate witheach other. As the saying goes, ;The whole is more than the sum of its parts. ; People who join the SETI project sometimes wonder whether their compnter will become part of a huge network that has learned to think for itself.71.

2008年高考精选模拟2008年泉州一中高考模拟试卷测试题 2019.91,阅读下面的文字，完成：消逝的钟声史铁生站在台阶上张望那条小街的时候，我大约两岁多。

终于有一天奶奶领我走下台阶，走向小街的东端。

我一直猜想那儿就是地的尽头，世界将在那儿陷落、消失--因为太阳从那儿爬上来的时候，它的背后好象什么也没有。

谁料，那儿更像是一个喧闹的世界的开端。

那儿交叉着另一条小街，那街上有酒馆，有杂货铺，有油坊、粮店和小吃摊；因为有小吃摊，那儿成为我多年之中最向往的去处。

那儿还有从城外走来的骆驼队。

“什么呀，奶奶？”“啊，骆驼。

”“干嘛呢，它们？”“驮煤。

”“驮到哪儿去呀？”“驮进城里。

”驼铃一路叮玲铛琅叮玲铛琅地响，骆驼的大脚趟起尘土，昂首挺胸目空一切，七八头骆驼不紧不慢招摇过市，行人和车马都给它让路。

我望着骆驼来的方向问：“那儿是哪儿？”奶奶说：“再往北就出城啦。

”“出城了是哪儿呀？”“是城外。

”“城外什么样儿？”“行了，别问啦！”我很想去看看城外，可奶奶领我朝另一个方向走。

我说“不，我想去城外”，我说“奶奶我想去城外看看”，我不走了，蹲在地上不起来。

奶奶拉起我往前走，我就哭。

“带你去个更好玩儿的地方不好吗？那儿有好些小朋友……”我不听，一路哭。

越走越有些荒疏了，房屋零乱，住户也渐渐稀少。

沿一道灰色的砖墙走了好一会儿，进了一个大门。

啊，大门里豁然开朗完全是另一番景象：大片大片寂静的树林，碎石小路蜿蜒其间。

满地的败叶在风中滚动，踩上去吱吱作响。

麻雀和灰喜鹊在林中草地上蹦蹦跳跳，坦然觅食。

我止住哭声。

我平生第一次看见了教堂，细密如烟的树枝后面，夕阳正染红了它的尖顶。

我跟着奶奶进了一座拱门，穿过长廊，走进一间宽大的房子。

那儿有很多孩子，他们坐在高大的桌子后面只能露出脸。

他们在唱歌。

一个穿长袍的大胡子老头儿弹响风琴，琴声飘荡，满屋子里的阳光好象也随之飞扬起来。

奶奶拉着我退出去，退到门口。

唱歌的孩子里面有我的堂兄，他看见了我们但不走过来，惟努力地唱歌。

2008年高考精选模拟2008年泉州一中高考模拟试卷测试题 2019.91, ，秋水共长天一色2, ，而智勇多困于所溺。

3,庄生晓梦迷蝴蝶，。

4,今宵酒醒何处，。

5,寄蜉蝣于天地，。

6,阅读下文，回答文后的问题。

（必做题，100字左右）妩媚端正的圆脸，有两个浅酒窝。

天生着一般女人要花钱费时，调脂和抹来仿造的好脸色，鲜艳的使人见了忘掉口渴而又觉得嘴馋，仿佛是好水果。

她的眼睛并不顶大，反衬得许多女人的大眼睛只像政治家讲的大话，大而无当。

古典学者看她说笑时露出的好牙齿，会诧异为什么古今中外诗人，都甘心变成女人头插的钗，腰束的带，身体睡的席，甚至脚下践踏的鞋袜，可是从没想到化作她的牙刷。

她头发没烫，眉毛不镊，口红也没擦，似乎安心遵守天生的限止，不要弥补造化的缺陷。

总而言之，是摩登文明社会里那桩罕物---一个真正的女孩。

有许多都市女孩子已经是装模作样的早熟女人，算不得孩子；有许多女孩子只是混沌痴顽的无性别孩子，还说不上女人。

立刻想在她心上造个好印象。

这个女孩子叫什么名字？虽然小说中着墨并不多，但作者似乎对她比较偏爱，称她为“摩登社会里的罕物”，请简述她是个怎样的女孩子？7,下面两题任选一题回答，每题100字左右。

①《老人与海》的故事很简单而朴素，但却公认是一部优秀而伟大的作品。

试从主题的角度简述小说的成就。

②简述《复活》中玛丝洛娃“精神复活”的经过。

8,下面的一段话摘自某报，划线部分有的存在语病，自选四处加以改正。

某市曾连续在两年国家考核中①成绩名列最末，对市委、市政府触动很大②。

市政府提出“为首府争光，为城市雪耻”③的口号。

市委书记指出：“落后的原因主要是认识不高，职责不清，体制不顺，投资不足造成的。

④”要求“各级党委、人大、政府三个一把手同时抓环保工作⑤，并把其纳入考核干部政绩的重要内容⑥，实行一票否决的干部管理体制⑦”。
