限时精练五45分钟综合性过关小练习(五)‎ 注意事项:‎ ‎1. 答题前,考生务必将学校、班级、姓名写在密封线内。‎ ‎2. 请将选择题的答案根据老师批改需要填写在试卷第3页所附的答题栏内。‎ 一、 完形填空 请认真阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。‎ The purpose of a letter of application(求职信) is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state 　1　 the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have 　2　. It should be simple, human, personal and brief without 　3　 out any necessary facts. ‎ In writing a letter of application, keep in　4　 that the things a possible employer is most 　5　 to want to know about are your qualifications(资格), your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. 　6　 the first few sentences fail to 　7　 the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be 　8　 at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not 　9　 your own needs or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your 　10　 in today’s newspaper”, you might say “I have made a careful 　11　 of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives 　12　 your product and why they like it.”  ‎ Try to　13　 generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now 　14　. College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I 　15　 in a letter? Employers want experience—which, naturally, no　16　 has.” The answer is that everything you have ever done is 　17　. ‎ It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. 　18　 a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or ‎ expect. An excellent 　19　 is to enclose(内附) a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it 　20　 for a possible employer to get in touch with you. ‎ ‎(　　)1.

They asked US participants in two related studies about parents lying to their children—either for the purpose of promoting appropriate behavior or to make them happy.‎ In one of the studies, many parents reported they told their young children that bad things would happen if they didn’t go to bed or eat what they were supposed to. Other parents reported inventing magical creatures. One explained, “We told our daughter that if she wrapped up all her pacifiers(橡皮奶嘴) like gifts, the fairy would come and give them to the children who needed them.” ‎ In the other study, the researchers surveyed college students’ recollections about their parents’ lying and obtained similar results: Parents often lie to their children even as they tell them that lying is unacceptable.‎ The researchers refer to this practice as “parenting by lying”. “We are surprised by how often parenting by lying takes place,” said Lee. Though Heyman thinks that there are occasions when it is appropriate to be less than truthful with a child, she urges parents to think through the issues and consider alternatives before using lies. “Children sometimes behave in ways that are disruptive or are likely to harm their long-term interests,” said Heyman. “It is common for them to try out a range of strategies, including lying, to stop them. However, parents ‎ should be concerned about the possible long-term negative consequences to children’s beliefs about honesty.” ‎ ‎(　　)21. The subject of parental lying 　　　　. ‎ A. was not allowed to be researched in the past B. attracts little attention because it is common C. hasn’t got many published results about it D. is becoming more and more popular ‎(　　)22. The study of Gail Heyman, Diem Luu and Kang Lee was focused on parents’ lies that　　　　. ‎ A. aim to cover their mistakes B. lead children to hate them C. aim to give children a positive influence D. make children get used to lying ‎(　　)23. What does Heyman think of parental lying?‎ A. It is a great parenting strategy.‎ B. Parents should think twice before using it.‎ C. It usually does more good than harm.‎ D. Parents should do something to make up for it after using it.‎ ‎(　　)24. Parents usually 　　　　 when their young children don’t go to bed properly. ‎ A. turn off the bedroom lights and play some music B. shout at them loudly C. shut the door and let them alone D. make up some magical creatures to let them believe ‎(　　)25. In which part of a newspaper would you most probably find the passage?‎ A. Business. 　B. Education. C. Technology. D. Fashion.‎ B Expensive perfumes(香水) come in tiny bottles, but many hide a whale-sized secret.‎ To perfect a particular smell, perfume-makers often use an ingredient that comes from sperm whales, called ambergris. But using ambergris, which helps a perfume last longer, is strongly opposed by many people who think it is wrong to kill whales just so we can smell sweet. Joerg Bohlmann is neither a perfumer nor a whale expert. He’s a plant biologist at the University of British Columbia in Canada. But his discovery of a new plant gene(基因) might push whales out of the perfume business.‎ The gene comes from fir trees, found throughout North America and commonly used as Christmas trees. The trees produce a chemical that can be used in perfume in place of ambergris—but with a catch. ‎ ‎“There’s a problem that many people wouldn’t consider. In the tree, the chemical is mixed with many others. That makes separation a challenge,” Bohlmann says. “It’s like trying to isolate sugar from a biscuit.” ‎ This is where science becomes useful. When Bohlmann learned that fir trees produce the ambergris-like chemical, he decided to use his gene know-how to find the instructions for how to make the ambergris-substitute.‎ Bohlmann found that gene and took it out of the tree cells. Then he did something that might sound strange to someone who doesn’t work in genetics: Bohlmann put the gene from the tree into yeast(酵母) cells.‎ Yeast may sound familiar because it’s used to make things like bread, wine and beer. Biologists like to work with yeast because it easily adopts new genes and ‎ changes its features and behaviour. When Bohlmann put the fir tree gene into the yeast, the yeast started making the same chemical that had been produced by the tree.‎ Perfumers pay big money for ambergris because it is a fixative, which means it holds a smell in place on a person’s body.‎ ‎“Cheap perfumes smell good in the first hour or so and then everything is gone,” explains Bohlmann. “But expensive perfumes are much more stable. Their smell lasts much longer, for hours or even a day after you apply them.” ‎ The new chemical, made from the tree genes, can be used as a fixative, too. And using yeast to make it is far cheaper than acquiring ambergris.‎ Bohlmann admits he never thought he’d get into the perfume business. But now, he says, producers have been calling to find out how to use his technology in new perfumes.‎ ‎(　　)26. It can be inferred from the passage that if a perfume contains ambergris, 　　　　. ‎ A. its user probably supports whale hunting B. its smell will last for about an hour C. there will be a whale symbol on the bottle D. it is probably very expensive ‎(　　)27. The underlined expression “with a catch” in Paragraph 3 means “　　　　”. ‎ A. being difficult to hold B. having a hidden problem C. needing further testing D. being too similar ‎(　　)28. According to the passage, why are yeast cells often used in genetic research?‎ A. They can take on the characteristics of other genes.‎ B. They can reproduce much faster than other cells.‎ C. They share some of the qualities of plant genes.‎ D. They’re much cheaper to use than ambergris.‎ ‎(　　)29. What can we learn about Joerg Bohlmann from the passage?‎ A. He is opposed to whale hunting.‎ B. He made his discovery during Christmas.‎ C. He has worked in the perfume industry for many years.‎ D. He has previously done genetic research.‎ ‎(　　)30. What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. The Christmas Tree’s Secret 　B. The Sweet Smell of Success C. Whale-free Perfume 　　　　D. Save the Whale 三、 书面表达 富人做慈善事业近年来越来越受到社会的关注。有的人认为理所当然,有的人认为他们应当受到称颂。针对这种现象,你校英语俱乐部组织了一次英语辩论赛。请根据以下要点写一篇不少于150词的短文,陈述以下两种不同观点并发表自己的意见。‎ 富人做慈善事业是否理所当然 正方观点 反方观点 你的观点 ‎1. 富人财富来自社会;‎ ‎2. 富人应该回报社会,做慈善事业理所应当。‎ ‎1. 富人的财富是靠合法经营和辛苦劳动得来的;‎ ‎2. 富人做慈善应该受到称颂。‎ ‎……‎ ‎　　注意:文章的开头已给出,不计入总词数。‎ Nowadays, many rich people are enthusiastic about charities. ‎ ‎ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎45分钟综合性过关小练习(五)‎ 一、 完形填空 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了怎样写好一封求职信。‎ ‎1.

However， others maintain those wealthy people deserve praise for their selfless honored behaviors. ‎ Those people who hold the first opinion believe the rich cannot get rich without others in the society and that they should give back to society.‎ However， others think differently. In their opinions， the wealthy people’s success is the result of their hard work. They also argue that charity is not only the duty of rich people but every citizen’s duty.‎ Personally， I agree with the latter. After all， the rich people are successful because they have worked hard and have a legal business. I think we should praise and respect those who have made or are making contributions to charities.‎
