That’s for sure.”But the award came as a surprise to many. On Oct 13, the famous US musician was named the Nobel laureate by the Swedish Academy. He has “created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition", according to the organization.Although Dylan, 75, is not really thought to be a literary（文学的）writer, he has given the world a lot of creative work over 50 years, especially when it comes to his folk songs.In his 1985 album Biograph, Dylan wrote about the appeal(魅力) of folk music to him. Rock songs “weren’t serious enough or didn’t reflect（反映）life in a realistic way", according to Dylan. But folk, was “a more serioustype of thing. The songs are filled with more sadness; more joy …much deeper feelings".Dyla n’s music and lyrics spoke to many people during the 1960s. His lyrics were often about great political issues, such as the civil rights movement. The 1960s were a time of change when the young were making sure that their voices were heard. The idea is mast famously expressed in Dylan's The Times They Are a -Changin (1964), which warns the world, “You better start swimming or you'll sink（下沉）like a stone. For the times they are a-changin!”There were complaints that a literary prize had been given to a singer. But ancient “Greek poets Homer and Sappho wrote poetic works that were meant to be listened to, that were meant to be performed, often with instruments - and it s the same way with Dylan ",the Swedish Academy’s permanent secretary Sara Danius told CNN.It could even be said that giving the important prize to Dylan has brought back an old literary tradition. The millions whose lives Dylan’s words and music have changed will surely welcome the award.21. Dylan found folk music attractive because___________•A. it brought joy to peopleB. it reflected life on a much deeper levelC. it could be used to express feelings freelyD. it needed more creativity than other types of music22. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Dylan according to the article?A. He never thought that he would win the Nobel Prize.B. All of his influential works were created in the 1960s.C .His songs expressed people’s feelings well during the 1960s.D. His fans were mostly young people who were active in political movements.23. According to the last two paragraphs, ______________.A .lyrics can be seen as a literary formB. a literary prize should not be given to a singerC. Dylan’s works were inspired by Greek poetsD .Dylan won the award because he influenced many song-writers24. What’s the author’s attitude toward giving Bob Dylan the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature?A. Unconcerned.B. Objective.C. Doubtful.D. Supportive.2.Books have tremendous power. Between their pages, readers can be transported to anywhere imaginable and become just about anyone or anything. Unfortunately, many children all over the world don’t have access to books.For several years now, Maria Keller, a 14-year-old girl from Minneapolis, Minnesota, has been changing that fact.When she was 8 years old, Maria already loved reading. She also noticed that some of her classmates didn’t read as much as she did. When she asked her mother why that could be, her mother said that they might not be able to afford books. Maria had never thought of this. She could not believe that some children might not have bedtime stories read to them. She became determined to change this.With her mother’s help, Maria created Read Indeed. Read Indeed is a non-profit organization aiming to collect and distribute(分发) books to children in need. During the early stages of Read Indeed, Maria set the goal to collect and distribute 1 million books by the time she was 18. It didn’t take long to reach that goal.Today, at age 14, she has collected over 1.8 million books and hasshipped them to many states and countries around the world. She says, “I cannot live without books. As I continue my mission, I have learned that the number of kids who have no books are in the hundreds of millions. So I just can’t give up, even after reaching my original goal of 1 million books distributed.”She recently set a new goal: to distribute donations to kids in need in every state in the United States, and every country in the world. She keeps track of her progress on a large map at the warehouse(仓库) where they store and sort books. Maria believes that she can get support from even more people and help kids around the world to become better readers!25. We can know from Paragraph 2 that .A. Some of Maria’s classmates had no textbooks.B. Some of Maria’s classmates didn’t have money to buy books.C. Some of Maria’s classmates didn’t like reading at all.D. Some of Maria’s classmates couldn’t afford to go to school.26. According to the passage, which statement about Read Indeed is true?A. It collects and gives out books to poor children.B. It is an organization which sells books to children around the world.C. It raises money to buy books for children.D. It is a campaign which encourages children to read.27. What can we infer from what Maria says in Paragraph 4?A. She lives on selling books.B. Her original dream has been achieved.C. She will give up her mission of distributing books.D. The number of children who have no books has greatly dropped.28. Which word can best describe Maria?A. Optimistic.B. Smart.C. Brave.D. Strong-willed.3.When we know somewhere well，w e say we “know it like the back of our hand”. But new research has shown that we don’t actually know as much about our hands as we think we do.Wider and shorterProfessor Matthew Longo at the University of London and his team did an experiment, covering the left hands of 100 people. Then they asked the people to point to where they thought their fingertips and knuckles (指关节）were. They made some quite big mistakes.“People think their hand is wider than it actually is,” said Longo. The fingers also seem shorter than they are. This mistake gets worse as you go across the hand from the thumb to the little finger.Sense of position"It is connected to our sense of position,” explained Longo. This is our ability to tell where different parts of o ur bodies are, even when we can’t see them. “It tells us whether a joint is straight .or not "he said. It also tells us whether we are going up or down in an elevator. All this information comes from signs from nerves in real time. It’s like our brain h as maps - maps that show the size and shape of our body. “This experiment tried to find those maps,” said Longo.Strength(强度) of feelingBut these maps make mistakes. These mistakes may be made because of how the brain understands different parts of t he skin. “Our brains ‘see” areas as larger where the skin feels touch strongly,” said Longo. Body parts don’t appear as their true size, but appear bigger or smaller depending on how strongly they feel touch. Our lips, for example, have more nerves than our nose. So brain “sees” lips on its map of the body as being bigger than our nose. The same thing happens for other parts of the body that have lotsof nerves.Longo believes that more research in this area may help us to understand eating problem better, because people suffering from these problems may not know their bodies properly.29. Which of following statement is TRUE about the experiment according to the article?A. People think their body parts are larger than they actually are.B. People made more mistakes about their little fingers length than their thumbs’ length.C .People’s fingers are actually shorter than they think.D. People were asked to draw their hands from memory30. What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The new experiment.B. The location information.C. The mistake people made.D. The sizes of fingers and hands.31. We can learn from the article that_____________.A. the maps of people’s bodies form before they are bornB. the maps of our body are based on information from nervesC. our sense of position tells how different parts of the body work.D. how we feel about our body shape is only decided by our sense of position32. We can infer from the article that .A. the hand feels touch more strongly than fingers doB. our lips have a weaker sense of touch than our noseC. there are more nerves in the finger than in the handD. our sense of position should not be trusted because it is too often incorrect4.It’s an ordinary morning，like all the others．But instead of being woken up by the buzzing of an alarm cl ock, you’ll be roused by the smell of freshly made coffee，light entering your room as the curtains open automatically，and a gentle back massage（按摩）provided by your high-tech bed.This is what a typical(典型的) person's life will be like two decades from now，according to The Guardian. Want to know more?After you get up, your apartment will be like an electronic orchestra with you as the conductor. With simple moves of your hand and spoken instructions, you’ll be able to control your apartment’s tempera ture, humidity, music and lighting. You’ll be able to look through the day’s news on translucent screens while your breakfast waits for you in the automatic oven.As you move into your kitchen, you might accidentally hit your toe on a cupboard. If you do, you’ll grab your cell phone and open the diagnostics(诊断) app. Inside your phone there will be a tiny microchip(芯片) that uses X-ray waves to scan your body. The scan will tell whether your toe is bruised or broken.After breakfast, your driverless car will take you to work. While you “drive”, your central computer system will suggest a list of chores(家务事)that your housekeeping robots can do that day and it will also remind you to buy a gift for your mother’s upcoming birthday.As you can see, with the help of advanced technology, our lives will be more efficient(有效率的). Technology will mitigate our forgetfulness and free us of many small burdens that distract us, such as buying a ticket. Our brain will therefore be able to focus on more important things like preparing for a presentation or doing “deep thinking”.However, the development of technology might have some disadvantages as well. By 2036, we’ll be relying heavily on the virtual(虚拟的)world, which will mean that all of our data will be stored in the cloud，a remote digital storage system with near limitless capacity(容量). That will increase the possibility of someone else accessing, sharing or manipulating(操控) our personal information.33. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To stress the importance of developing technology.B. To remind people not to depend too much on computers．C. To introduce one new invention that will benefit our future lives.D. To describe how advanced technologies will affect our future lives.34. According to the text, in two decades, .A. you’ll be able to rely on an electronic orchestra to wake you up instead of an alarm clockB. a tiny microchip in your phone will treat you when you are sickC. you will be able to adjust the conditions of your apartment via oral instructions or simple hand gesturesD. technology will be smart enough to help us with important things like preparing for a presentation35. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in Paragraph 6 mean?A. Make up for.B. Worsen.C. Cure.D. Take advantage of.二、未分类(共2题)1.Have you ever heard of an insect called the cicada(蝉)? 36 But theyhave an interesting internal clock that tells them when to go aboveground.Every 17 years, billions of the noisy Brood V cicadas(十七年蝉) will swarm(成群出现)to northeastern parts of the US, including New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. 37 But there are usually a lot less of them compared to the Brood V cicadas.38 According to Discovery News, these insects started their lives in 1999. And as their 17-year life cycle comes to an end, they go aboveground when their underground homes get warmer 64 degrees Fahrenheit (about 18℃) to be exact.Then the females will lay hundreds of eggs in trees, and after about four to six weeks, the mother and father cicadas will die. 39While they can be kind of annoying, these insects don’t harm humans, but they do make a lot of noise during their time aboveground. 40 However, since there are so many of the 17-year cicadas, the amount of laid eggs can sometimes harm small trees and bushes. But after this summer, these insects will mostly mind their own business until 2033.A. That sound is the male cicadas attracting the female cicadas.B. The cicada insects are common in summer, especially in August and can be found in July as well.C. There are other kinds of cicadas that come around once a year or every 13 years.D. The baby cicadas will go underground, and the 17-year cycle will start over again.E. As a matter of fact, people like to eat them in some cultures.F. Well, a special kind of these insects live underground in the US for most of their lives.G. This is what makes Brood V cicadas so special.2.Do you find it hard to memorize words? You must not be the only one. It could be 61 (help) if you say the words aloud. But th is often isn’t good in a quiet classroom.Now, researchers from the University of Waterloo, Canada, have comeup 62 a new idea. They suggest 63 (draw) a picture of what you are trying to memorize!The researchers did a study 64 (base) on the idea. They first gave a group of students some words such as “apple” or “balloon”. Then they gave the students 40 seconds, during 65 the students could either write the words again and again, or draw a picture.When the time 66 (be) over, the researchers asked the students to do something else, like sing a song. After that , they gave the students 60 seconds to write down as many words 67 they could remember. The results showed that those who drew the words did a much 68 (good) job than those who wrote them.So the next time you are having a hard time memorizing a word, 69 (draw) it! No worries if you’re not good at drawing. The 70 (research) say the quality of the drawing doesn’t matter at all.三、完型填空(共1题)1.My husband, Rashid, arrived in New York on his own from India. He stayed in a 41 for a short time while 42 for a house for me and our children.During the first week of his 43 , he went out one day to do some shopping.

He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he w as. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to stru ggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We walked along that af ternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laug hed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my fat her’s critical air and strict rules.

AIn Sweden，near a forest there is a lake in which the water is very clear. Everything here is quiet and still. On the far side of the water is some farmland and further away, across the field, is an old church built on a hill. It has just stopped raining. The brook flowing into the lake is full and there is still some half melted snow from last winter on the ground.The reason the water is so clear, and everything is so quiet and still, is that most of the plant and animal life in and around the lake is dead. There are no birds because all the fish and insects, which the birds need for food, have disappeared. Many trees in the forest are losing their leaves and bark, and are sick and dying. Others were blown down by the high winds of last winter. A farmer is working in a field planting something, but unless he plants a stronger kind of seed this year, the crop will be between 25 to 40 per cent lower than a few years ago. The stones of the old church tower are turning to powder and unless the tower is repaired soon, it will fall down.All the death and destruction in this place is caused by the smoke coming out of factories and poisonous gases from cars and trucks. And yet this silent lake is hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest factory and highway.1. What time of the year do you think it is?A. SpringB. SummerC. AutumnD. Winter2. Why are there no animals or birds in or around the lake?A. The weather is terribly cold.B. The lake is quiet.C. The area is polluted.D. They have all been killed.3. What can we know from the second paragraph?A. The soil becomes less and less because the wind is strong.B. The water in the lake is not polluted because it is clear.C. The trees are dying because the soil is dry.D. Few plants can grow because of the pollution.4. What do you think is the best title of the passage?A. A Beautiful Place of Interest.B. A Polluted Place in Sweden.C. A Quiet Place in Sweden.D. A Faraway Mountain Area.BHelene An always told her five daughters that there was strength in unity (团结)when they were young. To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business."Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began witha small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.5. Helene tied several chopsticks together to show ______.A. the difficulty of growing upB. the strength of family unityC. the advantage of chopsticksD. the best way of giving a lesson6. We can I earn from Paragraph 2 that the An family ______.A. started a business in 1975B. bought a restaurant in San FranciscoC. left Vietnam without much moneyD. opened a sandwich shop in Los Angeles7. What can we infer about the An daughters?A. They did not finish their college education.B. They could not bear to work in the family business.C. They were troubled by disagreement among family members.D. They were influenced by what Helene taught them.8. What is the secret of Ans’ big success?A. Family unityB. Hard workingC. IntelligenceD. Having a large familyCWe've all been blamed wrongly sometimes in our lives. How do we deal with it? Not with anger, hurt and tears, but in a collected way…◇If you are wrongly blamed, let others know of the true state of things at once. Do it calmly and clearly—if you lose your temper, people will stop listening or become defensive.◇If you don’t find a sympathetic ear, find a person who will hear you out—a teacher, a parent, a friend, or a brother or sister who believes in you.◇If you’ve been in trouble before, it may be easy for people to doubt you. So win your respect back in their eyes by behaving with honesty.◇If what you are blamed for is something unimportant, sometimes it’s better to smile it off.◇If you’ve been blamed for something serious, it’s important to put your side of the story forward quickly and truthfully.Just remember◇Respect your friends’secret if you don’t want to be wrongly blamed for making them known.◇Don’t blame others without first getting proof of their wrong doing.◇Putting the blame on someone else for what you have done wrong is weakness. Admit your mistake quickly.◇If someone else is wrongly blamed, stand up for that person.◇Don't pass the responsibility to others9.

Many of these customs tell stories about animals taking the teeth.For example, oreans have the custom of throwing the fallen tooth onto the roof of a house so that a magpie (喜鹊) can take the tooth away and bring a new tooth for the child. This custom is also followed by some other Asian countries, such as Japan and Vietnam.Other countries, though, have tooth customs about other animals. In Mexico and Spain, for example, it is thought that a mouse takes a fallen tooth away and leaves some money. But in Mongolia, it is dogs that take children’s teeth away. Dogs are highly respected in Mongolian culture. It is believed that the new tooth will grow strong if the baby tooth is fed to a dog, so parents in Mongolia will put their children’s fallen teeth in a piece of meat and feed it to a dog.In France and the USA, a child will put a fallen tooth under his or her pillow before going to bed. It is thought that in the early morning, when the child is still sleeping, the Tooth Fairy will take the tooth away and leave something else under the pillow. What she will leave is hard to know. It is said that in France the Tooth Fairy may leave some candies; however, in the United States, she may leave money.13. oreans throw a tooth onto the roof of a house in order to __________.A. get moneyB. get a new toothC. get candiesD. feed magpies14.

河南省安阳市第三十六中学2016-2017学年高二英语上学期第一次月考试题满分120分时间100分钟第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。

AEverywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high—tech devices，while driving，walking，shopping，even sitting in toilets．People have been influenced to become technology addicted．One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep，cigarettes and alcohol．The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products，not to actually improve our quality of life．They have successfully created a cultural disease．Consumers willingly give up their freedom，money and time to catch up on the latest information，to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern．I see people trapped in a pathological(病态的)relationship with time—sucking technology，where they serve technology more than technology serves them．I call this technology servitude．I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money．What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the vital question．Who is really in charge of my life? That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology．When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week，then we can regain control and personal freedom，become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology．Mae West is famous for proclaiming(声明)the wisdom that “too much of a good thing is wonderful．’’But it’s time to discover that it does not work for technology． Richard Fernandez，an executive coach at Google acknowledged that “we can be swept away by our technologies．’’To break the grand digital connection，people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without today’s overused technology．21．The underlined word “allure’’ in Paragraph 2 probably means .A．advantage B．adaption C．attraction D．attempt22．From the passage，technology companies aim to .A．deal with cultural diseases B．provide the latest informationC．impr ove people’s quality of life D．attract people to buy their products 23．It can be inferred from this passage that people .A．consider too much technology wonderfulB．may enjoy life better without overused technologyC．can regain freedom without high-tech devicesD．have realized the harm of high-tech devices24．What’s the author’s attitude towards the overusing of high-tech devices?A．Disapproving． B．Sceptical． C．Neutral． D．Sympathetic．BMy family has a tradition of holding garage sales(旧货出售)．On a Saturday afternoon back in 2002，just when my aunt Lorraine was starting to pack up，I discovered my very own treasure—a pair of black boots．Although they weren’t anything fashionable，they caught my eye．Plus they were only two dollars．She noticed me eyeing them up and said I could have them for fifty cents.Even better! I thought to myself as I pulled them on．They were the perfect fit．When I handed over the money，little did I know that these boots would accompany me on some of my greatest adventures．Each year I make a journey overseas and that year，I was making arrangements to visit Helsinki(the capital of Finland)，so naturally，I packed the boots．It was winter，but the boots protected my feet from the cold weather．I wore them everywhere．The boots even accompanied me as I walked through the night to find live music．I felt right at home among old friends．In 2009，I went to Aunt Lorraine’s home to attend my cousin Jason’s birthday party．While we were talking，Jason stared at my boots．He asked, “Where did you get those boots?’’“I bought them at your family’s garage sale，’’I responded．Jason f1ew into a rage．“Mum! You sold my boots? I bought them in Milan and I’ve wornthem through New York，London，Berlin and Paris,” he shouted．After a silence，however，he laughed and said，“Thanks a lot，Mum!’’We spent the rest of the evening sharing memories of the journeys we’d both had wearing the same pair of boots．The boots are no longer fit for wear，but I have held on to them as a memento(纪念物)of the last decade，the places we have walked and the memories we now share．25．The author bought the boots ．A．from his cousin B．without hesitationC．for his adventurous trip D．at the price of $226．The underlined phrase “flew into a rage’’ means Jason felt .A．Jason felt surprised B．Jason felt worriedC．Jason felt confused D．Jason felt angry27．Jason said thanks to his mother because ．A．he didn’t want th e boots any moreB．it was she who bought him the bootsC．he could share common memories with the authorD．he couldn’t travel worldwide without her28．What would be the best title for the text?A．Sweet memories． B．My beloved boots．C．A family tradition． D．My great adventures．CThis March is a busy month in Shanghai．There’s a lot to do．Here are the highlights．Live Music—Late Night JazzEnjoy real American jazz from Herbie Davis，the famous trumpet

traditional food．D．It is more interesting to visit Shanghai Museum for the exhibits from Egypt．31．From the text we may learn that Kamura is ．A．a cook B．a waitress C．an musician D．an artistDThousands of taxi drivers in Shenyang，Liaoning province，reportedly blocked streets with their vehicles on Sunday in protest against unlicensed vehicles using taxi-hiring apps(打车软件)and apps-based car rental（租赁的） companies providing passenger services，including high-end cars．Although the drivers also complained about the withdrawal（撤退，收回） of the fuel subsidy（补贴） by the government，their main complaint was the loss of business because of the rising number of Internet—based car services companies．On Wednesday，news reports came that Beijing transport authorities will take measures to stop the illegal ‘‘taxi business’’ of private cars through the newly rising Internet apps，following the footsteps of Shenyang and Nanjing．It is not yet clear how the Shenyang city government will handle the issue and whether it will declare the services offered by market leaders such as Didi Dache, a taxi-hiring app provider backed by Tencent Holdings（腾讯控股），and Kuaidi Dache illegal．But Shanghai transport regulators（调整者） have set a rule，by banning（禁止） Didi Zhuanche, or car service s offered by Didi Dache in December．Such regulations will cause a setback to the car-hiring companies and investors（投资者） that are waiting to cash in on the potentially booming（繁荣的） business．Just last month, Didi Dache got $700 million in funding from global investors，including Singapore state Investment company Temasek Holdings，Russian investment company DST Global and Tencent．Besides，the market is uncertain that Kuaidi Dache is about to finalize（敲定）its latest round of funding after getting $800 million from global investors．Regulatory uncertainties，however，could cast a shadow on the future of the Internet-based car-hiring services，which have become popular in most of China’s bigcities．To be fair，these companies’ business model is anything but（根本不） bad．For example, Didi Zhuanche works side by side with established car rental companies to provide high-end car service mainly for businesspeople through the Internet and mobile phone apps． Every link in this business model chain has legal companies and services．Hence, it is hard to define it as illegal and ban it．32．Why did taxi drivers in Shenyang block the streets with their vehicles?A．Because they wanted the authority to increase their driving allowances．B．Because they wanted to be taught how to use the taxi—hiring apps．C．Because they wanted to appeal to passengers not to hire the private cars．D．Because they wanted to make their main complaints known to the authority．33．Th e author’s attitude to banning Internet car—hiring service is ．A．positive B．negative C．neutral D．unclear34．Which of the following statements is false according to the passage?A．App—based car rental is functional to some degreeB．The problem referred to in the passage exists in all citiesC．The government should regulate the app-based car rental marketD．Didi Dache is a China—foreign joint company35．we can learn from the passage that .A．some international investment companies have strong faith in the future of apps--based car rental companiesB．Shenyang forbade apps—based car rental companiesC．Shanghai is the second city banning Didi ZhuancheD．it is not difficult to picture the apps—based car rental companies illegal第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

father arrived in a new black American sports car．Her father looked nervous and uncomfortable in front of the cameras．The bride wore a silk wedding dress．She smiled nervously at the waiting photographers and went to a room on the first floor where she met her future husband for the very first time．Carla Germaine and Greg Cordell were the winners of a radio station’s competition．The aim of the competition was to find two strangers prepared to marry without having met each other．Miss Germaine，23，is a model．Mr．Cordell，27，is a TV salesman．They were among the two hundred people who entered for a particular “experiment” organized by BMRB radio in Birmingham，England．Greg and Carla were among eight finalists who were interviewed live on radio．They took a lie detector test and the station also spoke to their friends and family about their personalities．The competition judges included an astrologer（占卜家）who declared that they were suited．The couple celebrated their wedding with a wedding breakfast and a party for 100 guests in the evening，but not everyone shared their joy．Miss Germaine’s mother looked anxious throughout the wedding and Mr．Cordell’s parents are reporte d to be less than delighted．Organizations，including the marriage guidance service Relate，have criticized the marriage．As one expert put it，“we have enough problems getting young people to take marriage seriously．Marriage should always be about love．”The couples are now on a Caribbean honeymoon followed by journalists．Their other prizes include a year’s free use of a wonderful apartment in the centre

think the collection of hundreds of colored shards（碎片）could be a work of abstract art．But the objects are the contents of the stomach of a sea turtle that lost its battle against plastic pollution．Environmentalists examined the stomach of the turtle found off the coast of Argentina．What they found is the symptom（征兆；症状）of the increasing threat to sea turtles from a human addiction to plastic．Sea turtles often mistake plastic items for jellyfish or other food．Ingesting（摄取）ocean pollution can cause a digestive blockage（消化堵塞）and internal cuts．The result can be dangerous，followed by death．Humans produce 260 million tons of plastic a year．When those products are pulled into the sea’s currents，the plastics are just broken into smaller pieces which are consumed by marine life at the bottom of the food chain．An examination of a green turtle found off Florida discovered that，over the course of a month，the animal’s faeces（粪便）had contained 74foreign objects，including “four types of balloons，different types of hard plastic，a piece of carpet-like material and two 2-4 mm tar balls（原油球块）．”“The oceans have become a giant refuse bin（垃圾箱;废渣仓）for all manner of plastics．All sea turtle species may be seriously harmed．”，according to the biologists Colette Wabnitz，from the University of British Columbia，“The symptom of this growing crisis can be seen inside and on sea turtles as well as their oceanic and terrestrial habitats．It is urgently necessary to directly face the source of plastic pollution，redesign packaging and rethink the very idea of the ‘throwaway culture’．”“Almost all

Some are replacing conventional classroom chairs with exercise balls or standing desks. At Ward Elementary School in Winston, North Carolina students have adopted an innovative program that entails(需要) riding bikes while reading.Scott Ertl came up with the idea while he was exercising and reading at the gym. Believing it would be a fun way to convince students to become more active, he placed one bike in the corner of his classroom and encouraged them to use it during independent reading sessions.It was so popular that Ertl decided to add more bikes and offer the Read and Ride program to the entire school. Today Ward Elementary School has a special exercise room filled with bikes that can be used by students while completing theirdaily reading assignments.Besides making reading more fun, the program also helps students exercise at a comfortable pace without the pressure that comes with regular sports-related activities. It is also a perfect way to release pent-up energy during days when the weather is not conducive to outdoor activities.Most importantly, however, are the program’s academic benefits. A year after Read and Ride was introduced at Ward Elementary School, students actively involved in the program demonstrated an astounding 83% reading proficiency(能力). Those who had not taken advantage of the exercise bikes tested at a much lower, 41%.Though the improvement in academic achievement cannot all be attributed to(归因于) programs like Read and Ride, experts believe they are a significant contributor. That’s because studie s have shown that physical activity stimulates brain cells and helps prepare it for learning. As word of the difference made by this easy-to-execute exercise program spreads, don’t be surprised to find schools across the country adopt ＂Read and Ride＂ for their students.5. What does Scott Ertl do according to the passage?A. An expert.B. A coach.C. A teacher.D. A bike maker.6. Which of the following is the most important benefit of ＂Read and Ride＂?A. Making students interested in reading.B. Helping students build up their body.C. Having students’ riding ability improved.D. Contributing to improving students’ reading ability.7. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Schools all over the USA will adopt ＂Read and Ride＂ soon.B. Ward Elementary School hasn’t adopted the Read and Ride program.C. Students in Ward Elementary School created the Read and Ride program.D. The improvement of students’ reading ability completely results from ＂the Read and Ride program＂.8. The author’s attitude towards the Read and Ride program may be described as _______.A. disapprovingB. positiveC. negativeD. doubtfulC＂Wake up. Alicia is waiting for you outside,＂ my mother called from the kitchen.My mother didn’t like me going to my friend’s house in the mountains for this weekend. ＂I trust you, but I don’t trust the people there,＂she said seriously. ＂I’m going to be fine,＂ were my last words before closing the door of the Jeep. The vehicle went along the dusty road and my mother grew smaller in the distance.The trip over the rough road was uncomfortable. It was scary to climb the steep hills surrounded by great pines. After a long trip we finally arrived at the house. From the moment I got there I knew I would forever love the house. It was decorated like an old country home. My room was small, yet set up nicely. That night I went to sleep early, not because I didn’t want to continue my search, but because I was tired after the long trip.In the morning, the singing of the birds woke me up. The light was just getting through the window. A strong smell of baking and fresh coffee came from the kitchen.I wandered around looking for a living soul, but the house was empty. I had the whole day to myself; my friend had gone hiking. I didn’t want to go with her. The main reason for this trip was to spend some time alone thinking about the events happening in my life.After an icy shower, my energies were at their fullest. With basket in hand, I started my hunt. I did not mind walking alone; it was a wonderful feeling to be in contact with nature for the first time. The sound of the water running through the rocks gave me great peace. I never felt such independence in my soul before.9. According to the first paragraph, we can know that .A. the author took a cold attitude towards her motherB. the author had an argument with her motherC. the author preferred to live in the mountainsD. the author’s mother was worried about her safety10. The purpose of the trip for the author is to .A. enjoy the quiet and beautiful natureB. continue her search for special thingsC. give herself a chance to think aloneD. go hiking in the mountains with her friend11. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Her close friend.B. The peaceful life.C. A favorite trip.D. The distant village.DA walk in a farmers’ market often brings one to explore new food options, and now more locally-farmed protein (蛋白质) choices are available to help bridge the gap between our meals and the farms on which they grew. More and more local small farms are popping up in opposition to factory farms.Today’s commercial farms do not fit the image that comes to mind while happily singing along to ＂Old McDonald.＂ Instead, most of the nation’s food comes from CAFOs –Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations –where animals are kept in tightly enclosed conditions as they are fattened up and readied to be killed for food.Fortunately, knowing exactly where one’s food comes from has led to an increase in the availability of what is known as ＂grass-fed＂ beef. Technically, all cattle are grass-fed for at least a limited amount of time, but what makes the meat significant is that it is grass-finished, not force-fed corn, soy or grains. This ch ange in diet makes all the difference since corn is not part of the cow’s traditional diet, and therefore causes major health issues for it. To deal with the health issues, antibiotics (抗生素) are used and some of the antibiotics used to treat the cattle are similar to those given to humans, so they can decrease the effectiveness of medicine when a consumer is sick.A healthier diet for the cattle leads the meat to lower in both fat and calories. And when cooking grass-fed beef, you’d better use a slightly l ower temperature to make it more delicious.12．The underlined words popping up (1st Para.) probably means __________ .A. improvingB. appearingC. profitingD. fading13．The song ＂Old McDonald＂ describes__________ .A. commercial farms providing fast foodB. commercial farms providing unpopular foodsC. animals raised freely on local farmsD. animals kept in tightly enclosed conditions14．Some medicines are less effective for beef consumers probably because__________ .A. some cattle feed on grainsB. all cattle eat grassC. some antibiotics are used by both cattle and peopleD. some medicines are used to treat sick cattle15．We can infer from the text that_________ .A. food from local farms can help add to the variety in our daily meals[B. soy or grains are on the list of traditional diets of the cattleC. corn for the cattle leads the meat to lower in both fat and caloriesD. low temperature makes grass-fed beef more delicious第二节 (共5小题；每一小题2分，总分为10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最优选项。

There are 20% more heart attacks on Mondays than on any other day.Heart disease is Britain’s biggest killer. Around 270,000 people suffer a heart attack every year and nearly one in three die before they even reach hospital.High blood pressure, or hypertension, 42 one in five people in the UK and is a majorrisk 43 for heart disease. The higher it climbs, the greater the force exerted(施加) by blood on the walls of the arteries（动脉）when the heart beats.To see how it changed over the course of a week, researchers from Tokyo Women’s Medical University in Japan, fitted 175 men and women with a device that would measure their blood pressure round-the-clock. A week later, the volunteers returned the devices so that researchers could 44 how blood pressure had changed.The results, published in the American Journal of Hypertension, showed a surge(振荡) in readings in those getting ready to go back to work on a Monday morning.

Not only did I succeed in 52 many of my closest friends by trying to control them; I also managed to destroy the most 53 relationship in my life: my relationship with my mother.My mother, who gave birth to me at age 54 her doctor’s wishes, would cry to me, “I waited so long for you. Don’t ignore my help!” I would reply55 , “I never wanted you to care about me! Leave me alone and forget I ever lived!”My mother began to believe I really 56 it. Like many young girls in high school, the boys who I knew were 57 were always the first ones I had to date. I would try to find any way to draw attention to myself while at the same time trying to be 58 . I had also beenheavy into drugs then to change my personality. And my only pleasure was to make people feel 59 .But then I asked myself why. Why the need to hurt? Why the attacks on my mother? I would drive myself mad with all the whys until one day I couldn’t60 it any longer and jump from a car moving at 80 miles per hour.Lying awake the following night at the hospital, I saw my mother’s pained face, tired brown eyes filled with nothing but thanks for her daughter’s rebirth of life.61 all the horrible things I did to her, she still loved me. I cried and asked why. She just looked down at me and said frankly, “Because you are my daughter.”62 love is the most precious gift we can give.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Children in Bosnia-Herzegovina all know the ancient story of the poor woman who caught a golden fish, released it, and in return gained wealth and happiness. According to a 1998 Associated Press story, this Balkan fairy tale turned into reality for one poor family. Before the start of the Bosnian war, the Malkoc family lived next to a small lake in the northwestern village of Jezero. One day in 1990, Smajo Malkoc returned from a trip to Austria with an unusual gift for his teenage sons, Dzevad and Catib: an aquarium(鱼缸) with two goldfish. Two years passed before Bosnian Serb forces advanced on Jezero.The women and children fled, and the men stayed back to resist the attacking soldiers. Smajo Malkoc was killed. When his wife, Fehima, sneaked back into the destroyed village to bury her husband and rescue what remained of their belongings, she took pity on the fish in the aquarium. She let them out into the nearby lake, saying to herself, “This way, they might be more fo rtunate than us.” Fast-forward to 1995, Fehima Malkoc returned with her sons to Jezero. Nothing but ruins remained of their home and their village. Through misty eyes she looked toward the lake. Glimpsing something strange, she walked over to the shore. “T he whole lake was shining from the thousands of golden fish in it,” she said. “It made me immediately think of my husband. This was something he left me that I never hoped for.”During the years of killing all around the lake, life underwater had flourished. After their return, Fehima Malkoc and her sons started caring for and selling the goldfish. By 1998, homes, stores, and coffee shops all over the region feature aquariums containing fish from Jezero. The Malkoc house, rebuilt on its original site, is one of the biggest in the village. Two new cars are parked in front, and the family says it has enough money to quit worrying about the future. “ It was a special kind of gift from our father,” Dzevad Malkoc said. Whenever one gives, one can never underestimate what a gift of love or an act of kindness might produce.65. Why did the woman let the fish out into the lake?A .She thought of the fairy tale. B.

A paper to be developed at the international congress of cognitive psychotherapy(认知心理疗法) in Gothenburg suggests a link between the attitudes of women abused by their parents and early exposure to the wrong sort of fairy tales. It says girls who identified with Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to say in destructive relationships as adults.The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby. She interviewed 67 female abuse survivors and found that 61 put up with serial abuse because they believed they could change their partners and with patience, composition and love. Hardly any of the women in a control group, who had not experienced abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way.The same view was taken by male survivors who had been abused as children. These women and men said they would leave a relationship rather than put up with abuse from a partner. Ms Darker Smith found the abused women were much more likely to identify with Cinderella and other submissive female characters in fairytales, who were later rescued by a stranger prince or hero.Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who adopted the submissive characters as role models. “They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their parents’ behaviors, she said.” Overexposure in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can damage their partners.” For example, they might never have understood the obvious flaw(缺点) in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down. “The question,” said Ms Darker Smith, “is why she did not break the door down herself.”72. The passage is especially intended for _________.A. parents with young daughtersB. girls who like reading fairy storiesC. girls who think they can change their partnersD. parents with grown-up daughters73. Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast are similar in that _________.A. they all married some princesB. they all changed their partners with loveC. they were all abused by their partnersD. they all put up with abuse74. Which of the following statements is true of the women in a control group?A. They don’t believe in fairy tales.B. They don’t believe in the transformational qualities of love.C. They have also experienced abuse.D. They survived abuse.75. What does the underlined word “submissive” in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?A. kind-heartedB. obedientC. gentleD. easy-goingSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for eachparagraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.76.Every living thing has what scientists call a biological clock that controls behavior. Thebiological clock tells plants when to form flowers and when the flowers should open. It tellsinsects when to leave the protective cocoon and fly away, and it tells animals and human beingswhen to eat, sleep and wake.77. A. Out-of-Body Factors on Biological ClocksB. Brain Cells Controlling Biological ClocksC. Biological Clocks Controlling Birds FlyingD. Benefits Studying Biological ClocksE. Inside-Body Factors on Biological ClocksF. Biological Clocks Controlling ActivitiesEvents outside the plant and animal affect the actions of some biological clock. Scientists recently found, for example, that a tiny animal changes the color of its fur because of the number of hours of daylight. In the short days of winter, its fur becomes white. The fur becomes gray brown in color in the longer hours of daylight in summer.78.Inner signals control other biological clocks. German scientists found that some kind of internal clock seems to order birds to begin their long migration flight twice each year. Birds prevented from flying become restless when it is time for the trip. But they become calm again when the time of flight has ended.79.Scientist say they are beginning to learn which parts of the brain contain biological clock. An American researcher, Martin Moorhead, said a small group of cells near the front of the brain seems to control the timing of some of our actions. These cells tell a person when to awake, when to sleep and when to seek food. Scientists say there probably are other biological clock cells that control other body activities.80.Dr. Moorhead is studying how our biological clocks affect the way we do our work. For example, most of us have great difficulty if we often change to different work hours. It can take many days for a human body to accept the major change in work hours. Dr. Moorhead said industrials officials should have a better understanding of biological clocks and how they affect workers. He said such understanding could cut sickness and accidents at work and would help increase a factory’s production.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions and complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Booklovers, most of them, will tell you what a pleasure it is to lend a favorite read to a friend – the novel you stayed up all night to get to the end of; the travel book that made you feel as if you yourself were on a train ride through India. For a while it seemed that e-book users were to be denied this pleasure of lending to friends. You could buy a book or magazine for your reading device, but you couldn’t lend it out.But now, with the Nook, the US book chain Barnes and Noble’s response to Amazon’s Kindle, electronic readers will be able to press their latest literary enthusiasm on their friends, just like readers of physical books can. You simply email the book from your Nook and your friend can read it for two weeks, using any device with the Barnes & Noble e-book reader software. It’s a big improvement from previous e-book readers.The Nook offers other features too. You read in black and white on the main screen, just like with Kindle. The difference is that on the lower part of the device there’s a color touch screen. It allows you to browse through a book or magazine, but goes black when you’re not using it so that you save power.Another exciting thing about the Nook is that it offers Wi-Fi (无线上网服务), arguably a big advance on previous e-book readers. Customers in the United States can use the Internet connection to read whole e-books at Barnes and Noble’s hundreds of bookstores for free. None of Barnes and Noble’s competitors can come close to this.But the Nook, ironically, might just turn out to be a money-loser for Barnes and Noble, or at least a job-loser for Barnes and Noble’s employees. According to Marian Maneker at The Big Money Website, if the Nook is successful it might take sales from the company’s bookstores, eventually forcing their closure and the loss of thousands of jobs.81. What do booklovers take pleasure in, according to the passage?82. According to Paragraph 2, your friend will be able to ___________________ with the Nook.83. According to the passage, the three new features of the Nook are: lending books to yourfriends, a color touch screen and ___________________ in Barnes and Noble’s stores.84. What might happen to Barnes and Noble’s bookstores if the Nook is successful?(Note: Answer the questions and complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)第II卷（45分）I.

AThere is no best way to learn a language, just different ways that suit different people. Some people prefer to “pick up” the language by reading books or magazines, watching films, visiting the country where the target language is spoken, etc. They focus on t he meanings of words and don’t worry too much about the language forms used. This method often suits children if they find themselves in a foreign country or with foreign friends. However, this approach doesn’t suit everyone if your aim is to become good at writing.Probably the most common way to learn a language is in a classroom with a teacher. The teacher can explain difficult words, give guidance, provide extra motivation and feedback on progress. Unfortunately, some people do not have very pleasant experiences of learning a language in the classroom. Language learning canbe great fun. But your writing level will be increased most efficiently this way. Besides learning in a classroom, you can use a personal tutor(家教) and arrange a very flexible system of tuition. That means if you are busy at a particular time, you can still arrange to have your language tuition at a time that suits you.With recent improvements in modern technology, it is now possible to purchase a wide range of multi-media materials for learning a language. You can teach yourself using cassettes, videos, CD- ROMs, books, and any combination of these. This approach is best suited to students who are self-disciplined and well-organized. It also tends to assist with the development of reading and listening skills. But be sure to pick out materials of high quality. If you want to become fluent at speaking and writing a language, you’ll also benefit from cooperating with other users.21. The method mentioned in the first paragraph can be considered _______.A. passive learningB. the most effective learning methodC. natural and active learningD. a structured learning method22. The underlined word “flexible” in the second paragraph means “________”.A. strictB. freeC. safeD. pleasant23. From the passage, we can NOT learn that ________.A. people need to care about grammar when speaking a languageB. classroom studying can be boring sometimesC. not all learning materials can help improve our language levelD. students lacking self-control may not benefit much from self-study24. What might be talked about in the next paragraph?A. How to cooperate with other language learners.B. How to deal with the difficulties in study.C. How to find a personal tutor.D. How to find the best studying method.BThe summer holidays are upon us again.

His employer had a large private library so Owen was able to educate himself. He read a lot in his spare time and at nineteen he was given the job of superintendent(监工) at a Manchester cotton mill. He was so successful there that he persuaded his employer to buy the New Lanark mill in Scotland.When he arrived at New Lanark it was a dirty little town with a population of 2,000 people. Nobody paid any attention to the workers' houses or their children's education. The conditions in the factories were very bad. There was a lot of crime and the men spent most of their wages on alcoholic drinks.Owen improved the houses. He encouraged people to be clean and save money. He opened a shop and sold the workers cheap, well-made goods to help them. He limited the sale of alcoholic drinks. Above all, he fixed his mind on the children's education. In 1816 he opened the first free primary school in Britain.People came from all over the country to visit Owen's factory. They saw that the workers were healthier and more efficient than in other towns. Their children were better fed and better educated. Owen tried the same experiment in the United States. He bought some land there in 1825, but the community was too far away. He could not keep it under control and lost most of his money.Owen never stopped fighting for his idea. Above all he believed that people are not born good or bad. He was a practical man and his ideas were practical. "If yougive people good working conditions," he thought, "they will work well and, the most important thing of all, if you give them the chance to learn, they will be better people."28. For Owen, his greatest achievement in New Lanark was _______.A. improving worker's housesB. helping people to save moneyC. preventing men from getting drunkD. providing the children with a good education29. From the passage we may infer that Owen was born _______.A. into a rich familyB. into a noble familyC. into a poor familyD. into a middle class family30. Owen's experiment in the United States failed because _______.A. he lost all his moneyB. he did not buy enough landC. people who visited it were not impressedD. it was too far away for him to organize it properly31. We may infer form the passage that no children in Britain could enjoy free education until ____.A. 1771B. 1816C. 1825D. 1860DIn business, there is a speed difference: It’s the diff erence between how important a firm’s leaders say speed is to their competitive strategy and how fast the company actually moves. The difference is important regardless of industry and company size. Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that chose to go, go, go to try togain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track . What’s more, the firms that “ slowed down to speed up ” improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period.How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better? They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms so metimes fail to understand the difference between operational speed (moving quickly) and strategic speed ( reducing the time it takes to deliver value ). Simply increasing the speed of production, for example, may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference. But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.In our study, higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion. They encouraged new ways of thinking. And they allowed time to look back and learn. By contrast, performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improve efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn’t develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes .Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. Teams that regularly take time to get things right , rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals. That kind of strategy must come from the top.32. What does the underlined part “ gain an edge ” in Paragraph 2 mean ?A. Increase the speed .B. Reach the limit .C. Get an advantage .D. Set a goal .33. The underlined part “ the laws of business physics ” in Paragraph 3 refers to __________ .A. spending more time and performing worseB. spending more time and performing betterC. spending less time and performing betterD. spending less time and performing worse34. What can we learn from the text ?A. how fast a firm moves depends on how big it is .B. how competitive a firm is depends on what it produces .C. Firms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit .D. Firms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes .35. What could be the best title for the text ?A. Improve quality ? Serve better .B. Need speed ? Slow down .C. Deliver value ? Plough ahead .D. Reduce time ? Move faster .第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AIn Sweden，near a forest there is a lae in which the water is very clear. Everything here is quiet and still. On the far side of the water is some farmland and further away, across the field, is an old church built on a hill. It has just stopped raining. The broo flowing into the lae is full and there is still some half melted snow from last winter on the ground.The reason the water is so clear, and everything is so quiet and still, is that most of the plant and animal life in and around the lae is dead. There are no birds because all the fish and insects, which the birds need for food, have disappeared. Many trees in the forest are losing their leaves and bar, and are sic and dying. Others were blown down by the high winds of last winter. A farmer is woring in a field planting something, but unless he plants a stronger ind of seed this year, the crop will be between 25 to 40 per cent lower than a few years ago. The stones of the old church tower are turning to powder and unless the tower is repaired soon, it will fall down.All the death and destruction in this place is caused by the smoe coming out of factories and poisonous gases from cars and trucs. And yet this silent lae is hundreds of ilometers away from the nearest factory and highway.1. What time of the year do you thin it is?A. SpringB. SummerC. AutumnD. Winter2.

To show this, she held up one chopstic, representing one person. Then she easily broe it into two pieces. Net, she tied several chopstics together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to brea the tied chopstics. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always wor in the family business because she thought it was too hard.Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to wor for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to wor in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they wored together to mae the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth eplains, "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business."Their epanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans woring together. Now the Ans' corporation maes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they wored together. Now they are a big success.5.

Many of these customs tell stories about animals taing the teeth.For eample, oreans have the custom of throwing the fallen tooth onto the roof of a house so that a magpie (喜鹊) can tae the tooth away and bring a new tooth for the child. This custom is also followed by some other Asian countries, such as Japan and Vietnam.Other countries, though, have tooth customs about other animals. In Meico and Spain, for eample, it is thought that a mouse taes a fallen tooth away and leaves some money. But in Mongolia, it is dogs that tae children’s teeth away. Dogs are highly respected in Mongolian culture. It is believed that the new tooth will grow strong if the baby tooth is fed to a dog, so parents in Mongolia will put their children’s fallen teeth in a piece of meat and feed it to a dog. In France and the USA, a child will put a fallen tooth under his or her pillow before going to bed. It is thought that in the early morning, when the child is still sleeping, the Tooth Fairy will tae the tooth away and leave something else under the pillow. What she will leave is hard to now.

高二（上）期末英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共9小题，共22.0分）AWhen I was growing up，I dreamed about becoming a cowgirl，a spy or a great actress．Not a dentist，like my father，or a homemaker，like my mother-certainly not a writer，although I always loved to read．I didn't know anything abut writers，even though I loved to make up stories inside my head．I made up stories while I bounced （反弹）a ball against the side of our house．I made up stories playing with paper dolls．And I made them up while I practiced the piano，by pretending to give piano lessons．I always had an active imagination．But I never wrote down any of my stories．When I grew up，my need for story telling didn't go away．So when my own two children started pre-school I began to write and I've been writing ever since!My characters live inside my head for a long time before I actually start to write a book about them．Then，they become so real to me that I talk about them at the dinner table as if they were real．Some people consider this weird．But my family understand．Many of my books are set in New Jersey because that's where I was born and raised．I lived there until my kids finished elementary school．Then we moved to New Mexico，the setting for Tiger Eyes．I also spent two years in Connecticut，where Just As Long As We're Together and Here's To You，Rachel Robinson are set．I don't think I could set a book in a place without knowing it really well．Now I live in New York City with my husband，George Cooper．Between us we have three grown children and one grandchild．Our lives are busy，sometimes too much so，but never dull．And yes，I'm still writing．1.When the writer was young she ______ ．A. heard many love storiesB. enjoyed writing story booksC. never thought of becoming a writerD. could make up stories of different people2.The writer always had a gift for ______ ．A. playing at home aloneB. creating all kinds of storiesC. attracting other's attentionD. solving problems by herself 27The writer started to write when ______ ．A．shebegan primary school B．her first grandchild was born C．her children started preschool D．she got married to George Cooper3.What can be conclude from the text？______A. It is never too late to learn．B. Well begun is half done．C. Actions speak louder than words．D. Interest is the best teacher．BAmericans get some of their news and entertainment from public television and radio．These public media receive money to operate from private citizens，organizations and government．Many of their programs are educational．But most of the American media are run by business for profit．These privately owned media have changed greatly in recent years．Newspapers，magazines and traditional broadcast television organizations have lost some of their popularity．At the same time，online，cable and satellite media have increased in numbers and strength．So have media that serve racial groups and those communicating in foreign languages．In general，more media than ever now provide Americans with news and entertainment．At the same time，fewer owners control them．Huge companies have many holdings （股份）．In some areas，one company controls much of the media．One dramatic change in American media is the increased success of cable television．It comes into most homes over wires．It does not use the public airwaves to present programs，as broadcast television does．Like broadcast television，most cable television programs perform advertisements．This is true although people must pay to see cable television in their homes．Thirty years ago，few people had cable．Today，abut sixty-eight percent of American homes have cable television．Television by satellite is also gaining popularity．Over the years，traditional broadcast organizations have tried to appeal to as many watchers as possible．Many cable companies，however，present programs for one special group of viewers．For example，there are cable stations for people who like books，cooking，travel，golf or comedy．4.Which of the following is true about American public media？______A. They depend on the government．B. They are controlled by the governmentC. They are freeD.

American news and entertainmentB. Public television and radio mediaC. Media in the United StatesD. Cable programs in the United States．CDogs have been man's best friend for thousands of years since the Stone Age．Now scientists suspect they have discovered the root of the relationship-a dog really does understand his master's voice．Researchers have found that pet dogs process the language in a similar way to humans．They learn to recognize the words that are spoken-the groups of consonants（辅音）and vowels．But tests suggest they also notice the more subtle（微妙的）aspects of human communication-the emotional tone，intonation and volume changes that influence the meaningof language．Scientists at Sussex University think this is because dogs process language in the same way as we do．Twenty-five dogs were placed between two speakers playing recorded commands．Due to cross-writing（交错的）in the brain，if a dog turned its left ear towards the voice it meant the right side of the brain was processing the sound．On the contrary，turning the right ear forward meant sound was being processed in the left hemisphere．Researchers Dr David Reby，from the University of Sussex，said，"This is particularly interesting because our results suggest that the processing of speech parts in the dog's brain is divided between the two hemispheres in a way that is actually very similar to the way it is separated in the human brain．Although we cannot say how much or in what way dogs understand information in speech from our study，we can say that dogs react to both spoken and speaker-related information and that these parts appear to be processed in different areas of the dog's brain．"7.What's the main idea of the passage？______A. Dog's processing language is similar to human'sB. Dogs are good at processing human language．C. Dog's language is attracting scientists'interest．D.

live【小题2】languages【小题3】for【小题4】all【小题5】Before【小题6】bigger【小题7】written/which are written【小题8】a【小题9】up【小题10】most【解析】1 living/who live，句子谓语动词是made，因此live使用非谓语形式，与其逻辑主语people是主动的关系，因此使用现在分词短语living，也可以使用定语从句who指代先行词people，从句谓语动词使用live，因此答案有两个living/who live．2 languages，考查名词的复数形式，此处表达"1500种语言"，因此使用名词的复数形式languages．3 for，考查固定搭配，for example"例如"．4 all，前文提到"一本字典包含了四五十万单词"，但我们不需要所有的这些单词，表达三者以上使用all．5 Before，根据语境我们上学时会学到一千多个单词，因此此处使用before，表示在离开学校之前，会学到一千多个单词．6 bigger，根据语境"多读书扩大词汇量"，因此要"使你的词汇量变大"，使用big的比较级，注意要双写辅音字母g再加-er．7 written/which are written，此句是there be句型，因此write要使用非谓语形式，与其主语books构成被动的关系，因此使用过去分词written充当定语，也可以使用定语从句，从句的先行词是books，表示物，引导词用which，后接被动语态are written，因此答案有两个．8 a，考查冠词的用法，"当你遇到一个新单词"，用的是泛指，word使用单数形式，因此前面用不定冠词a．9 up，考查动词短语look up"查阅"．10 most，根据语境"你的字典是你最有用的书"，表示三者以上的比较，使用最高级，much的最高级是most．短文讲了不同国家的人使用不用种类的单词，每种语言都有很多单词，但我们并不是会用到所有的单词，在平时的生活中要尽量扩大自己的词汇量，一旦遇到不认识的单词可以通过字典查阅．对于语法填空这类题，一是懂得分析句子结构，二是知道充当各个句子成分的词类或词性，从语法上确定答案，当然，对于某些固定搭配也要牢记，在平时的学习中要多积累这些词汇或短语，对于句子使用的时态语态也要通过语境进行确定．39.【答案】1．They--We 2．here--there 3．was后加a 4．rains--rained 5．card--cards 6．Unluckily--Luckily 7．but--and 8．happily--happy 9．How--What 10．去掉for 1．They--We 考查代词根据前文I went to visit my uncle in Oingdao with my parents，应用we代替，而非they，因包括作者I在内．2．here--there 考查副词．应是到达"那儿"，指我叔叔处．3．was后加a 考查不定冠词．ride意为"乘坐，搭乘"，是可数名词，其前要加不定冠词a．4．rains--rained 考查动词时态．根据时间状语on Saturday及下文we had to stay at home，要用一般过去时态，rain的过去式是rained．5．card--cards 考查名词复数．play cards意为"打扑克，打牌"，card要用复数cards．6．Unluckily--Luckily 考查副词．on Saturday下雨，而on Sunday阳光明媚，应是幸运地，luckily意为"幸运地"．7．but--and 考查连词．went to the beach together和played in the water应是并列谓语，而非转折，用and连接．8．happily--happy 考查形容词．relaxed意为"放松的；轻松自在的"，是形容词，and连接并列的对等结构，happily要用形容词，其形容词是happy，happy and relaxed作us的宾语补足语．9．How--What 考查感叹句．a wonderful experience是名词短语，用what引导感叹句．10．去掉for 考查不定式．hope for意为"希望，希望得到"，for是介词，其后要接名词形式的宾语，根据句意，要用不定式，则要去掉for，hope后则接动词不定式短语．【解析】本文介绍作者上周末和父母乘火车去拜访他的叔叔，周六因下雨只得呆在家里，周日则阳光明媚，则去了海滩玩．漂亮的海和新鲜的空气使作者一家感到高兴和放松．真是一次美好的经历．高考短文改错题的形式有说明文，短文故事，书信等，具有很强的实用性．短文的内容和语言都符合高中学生的实际，从表面上看类似一篇学生习作．首先，通读全文，了解短文大意，把握全篇的时态、人称及行文逻辑，在通读全文时把一些容易的错误先改好，再进行逐句改错．其次，要进行逐个句子的改错．这是要对文中的词法、句法和语篇着重分析和特别注意．最后把改好的短文再阅读一遍，检查答案是否正确，感觉是否还有不妥之处，最终形成定稿．40.【答案】Dear

AYou may have heard of the book Moby Dick（《白鲸记》）,written by the American author Herman Melville. You may also know that Moby Dick is considered one of the greatest novels ever written. However, it might surprise you to find out Herman Melville was not always a highly regarded author.Melville’s first two novels，Typee and Omoo, were widely read and financially successfully。

They were both exciting tales of adventures at sea and experiences with people in foreign lands。

Melville became quite famous. However, upon the publication of his third book, Mardi, Melville’s popul arity began to weaken。

He was no longer interested in telling tales of pure adventure, and his writing took on a style that alienated(使疏远）the general reading public of his time.Melville published Moby Dick in October of 1851。
