【解析】試題分析：作者通過(guò)講述在商店里幫助一位窮顧客的故事，說(shuō)明了兩個(gè)道理：第一，做人應(yīng)該有一副熱心腸；第二，人無(wú)論貧富，都是平等的，都應(yīng)享受同等的權(quán)利和地位。

1.考查上下文連串。根據(jù)文章第三段中she purchased the item可知，她買的這件商品本來(lái)是為她女兒買的。故選A

2.動(dòng)詞辨析。因?yàn)榕畠阂呀?jīng)有了類似的東西，所以這位婦女想換一件另外的商品。want to do想要做某事。manage to do是“成功做了某事”的意思。故選B

3.考查名詞辨析。A. counter柜臺(tái)；B. department部門；C. market市場(chǎng)；D. window窗戶。作者決定幫助這位婦女，于是和她一起走到商店的柜臺(tái)處。故選A

4.上下文連串。根據(jù)全文語(yǔ)境可以看出，這位黑人婦女在商店受到了不公正的待遇，被拒絕調(diào)換商品。售貨員看到她找到作者幫助，十分不禮貌地指責(zé)她不應(yīng)該隨便找個(gè)人來(lái)幫忙。故選D

5.形容詞辨析。A. wrong錯(cuò)誤的；B. true真的；C. reasonable合理的；D. meaningful有意義的。這位婦女并不認(rèn)識(shí)作者，找到她屬于隨機(jī)行為。因此售貨員的話符合事實(shí)。故選B

6.考查動(dòng)詞辨析。A. leave離開(kāi)；B. pay付錢；C. find發(fā)現(xiàn)；D. obtain獲得。畢竟不是所有的人都有機(jī)會(huì)獲得ID卡的。故選D

8.考查動(dòng)詞辨析。經(jīng)理的這種無(wú)賴的行為激怒了作者，于是作者以自己的經(jīng)歷為例來(lái)進(jìn)行反駁：如果我，一位白人女性，到這里要求換貨，沒(méi)有收據(jù)，照樣我是不會(huì)被（你們）拒絕的。因?yàn)槲矣羞^(guò)去的經(jīng)歷為證。故選C

9.考查動(dòng)詞辨析。agreed同意；B. prepared準(zhǔn)備；C. failed失敗；D. remembered記得。從語(yǔ)境可知，經(jīng)理意識(shí)到自己的言行失當(dāng)，因此同意換商品。故選A

10.考查副詞辨析。A. totally完全地；B. gradually漸漸地；C. hardly幾乎不能；D. quickly很快地。但她很快地調(diào)整心態(tài)，捫心自問(wèn)：“為什么不幫她，我有不幫她的正當(dāng)理由嗎？” 故選D

11.考查上下文連串。從下文可知，這位婦女看起來(lái)非常窮。售貨員和經(jīng)理的無(wú)禮行為可能與此有關(guān)。作者想要表達(dá)的是，我們不應(yīng)該以貌取人（不能通過(guò)書(shū)的封皮確定一本書(shū)的質(zhì)量）。故選B

12.考查動(dòng)詞辨析。A. deserved值得；B. required要求；C. received獲得；D. appreciated感激。 人雖然窮，但有資格和別人享受同等的待遇。故選A

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blankets by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

  

Like our body, our memory needs regular exercise to be in good condition. Like the sportsman who must train to allow the body to respond to difficult times, the memory needs its own special training in order to stay in “shape” and improve.

There are many factors that can cause poor memory like insomnia (失眠), depression and alcohol. However, there are simple ways which you can follow to keep your memory in shape and actually help you to improve your memory’s condition and performance.

Never stop learning. Look for topics that interest you and really get involved in learning new information about them. Reading and attending lectures or programs are sources of continuous education of your brain with beneficial results to your memory.

    Develop your social and family relationships. The more social you are, the better it is for your brain. Studies have shown that the brain and heart have a lot to gain from good family and social relationships.

    Exercise your mind with games. The more you use your brain, the more you help your memory stay in shape. There are many games that can make you an intelligent person as well as entertain you such as chess, puzzles and board games.

    Exercise physically can improve your memory. This type of exercise improves the circulatory （血液循環(huán)的） system. Even the simple but regular daily exercise such as fast walking can improve the heart and oxygenation（供氧） of the brain. The benefits of exercise affect positively many body systems, as well as our memory and other cognitive（認(rèn)知的） capabilities.

    Eat more fruit and vegetables. What we eat every day affects the performance and long-term condition of our memory. Fruit and vegetables are an excellent source of antioxidants（抗氧化劑） and vitamins that can help and benefit the nervous system.

   So our memory is like a sportsman. The more we practice our brains and memory, the better their performance will be.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2012年新課標(biāo)版高中英語(yǔ)選修七 Unit1練習(xí)卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

The concept of health holds different meanings for different people and groups. These meanings have also changed over time. This change is no more evident than in Western society today, when notions of health and health promotion are being challenged and expanded in new ways.

For much of recent Western history, health has been viewed in the physical sense only. That is, good health has been connected to the smooth mechanical operation of the body, while ill health has been attributed to a breakdown in this machine. Health in this sense has been defined as the absence of disease or illness and is seen in medical terms.

In the late 1940s the World Health Organization challenged this physically and medically oriented (導(dǎo)向的) view of health. They stated that health is a complete state of physical, mental and social well-being and is not merely the absence of disease (WHO, 1946). Health and the person were seen more holistically (mind / body / spirit) and not just in physical terms.

The 1970s was a time of focusing on the prevention of disease and illness by emphasizing the importance of the lifestyle and behaviour of the individual. Specific behaviours which were seen to increase risk of disease, such as smoking, lack of fitness and unhealthy eating habits, were targeted. Creating health meant providing not only medical health care, but also health promotion programs and policies which would help people maintain healthy behaviours and lifestyles. While this individualistic healthy lifestyle approach to health worked for some (the wealthy members of society), it was of little benefit to people experiencing poverty, unemployment, underemployment or who had little control over the conditions of their daily life.

During the 1980s and 1990s there has been a growing swing away from seeing lifestyle risks as the root cause of poor health. While lifestyle factors still remain important, health is being viewed also in terms of the social, economic and environmental contexts in which people live. This broad approach to health is called the socio-ecological view of health.

At the Ottawa Conference in 1986, a charter was developed which outlined new directions for health promotion based on the socio-ecological view of health. This charter, known as the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion, remains as the backbone of health action today. In exploring the scope of health promotion it states that:

Good health is a major resource for social, economic and personal development and an important dimension (尺度) of the quality of life. Political, economic, social, cultural, environmental, behavioural and biological factors can all favour health or be harmful to it. (WHO, 1986)

1.From the passage, we can infer that _________.

A．good health means not having any illness

B．health has different meanings for different people in different periods

C．health has always been viewed in terms of the social, economic and environmental contexts in which people live

D．health has always been considered a major resource for social, economic and personal development and an important dimension of quality of life

2.In the late 1940s, if you ___________, that meant you were healthy. 

A．were strong enough

B．were strong, optimistic and happy

C．had enough money

D．had a good lifestyle

3.        of society benefited most from the healthy lifestyle approach to health. 

A．Rich people

B．Poor people

C．Old people

D．Young people

4.The socio-ecological view of health includes the following broad areas EXCEPT ________.

A．the social contexts

B．the environmental contexts

C．the economic contexts

D．the area of personal development

5.This passage mainly tells us that                 .  

A．wealth is health

B．health means different things in different periods

C．it’s getting harder to be healthy

D．people should change their understanding of health over time

Directions:  Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage.

Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

As we all know, all the governments in the world collect taxes（稅）, but what are they and what are they used for? Some people may not know about them.

There are two kinds of taxes. One of the most important taxes is income-taxes which a person pays according to the amount of his income. Whatever he is, he must pay tax if income is more than a certain amount. This is called a “direct” tax, because it is paid in money directly to the government.

Another tax is paid on goods. When they are brought into a country, such a tax is paid as part of the price of these goods if they are later sold in shops. We call it “indirect” tax, because it is paid indirectly through the shopkeepers.

People usually complain about having to pay taxes, but they forget that the money is spent on what they need. On one hand, we need policemen and soldiers to protect us from danger. Meanwhile, we also need schools and teachers for our children. On the other hand, we need officials and workers to serve us. Above all, we need money to develop our nation.

Taxes, therefore, can’t be avoided. We have no real reason to complain when we are asked to supply money to be spent for the good of ourselves and for our fellow-citizens.
