AIt was one of my first lessons as an international student in New York City. My US history teacher had just finished his lesson. He sat back in his armchair comfortably, and asked: “Was there anybody doing anything interesting yesterday?”“I drew a panda, which was lovely!” a girl beside me shouted. Then, the talk developed rapidly. So meone said he had received his learner’s driving permit, while another mentioned that she had spent the first salary from her part-time job. Everybody seemed to have something to say. Although there was a range of people, from different backgrounds, people seemed to feel at home with each other.Not me. I stayed aloof from the discussion. I looked through my notes until I looked up to see another teacher come in and share some cookies he had made yesterday. The beautifully baked cookies sent out a good smell, which made it impossible to concentrate on my work any longer. However, my seat was in the back row, and I was too shy to stand up and take a cookie for myself.“Go ahead and have one!” It was the history teacher: “If you don’t stand up, nobody is going to feed you!”I was still hesitant, but I got up and took a cookie with some other classmates. Now I felt more at ease. We laughed about how “greedy” we were.The “cookie crisis” had taught me a lesson. I would have to be less shy in the United S tates. Here was a mixed and various culture, and if I wanted to get anywhere I would have to brave its newness and difference and make myself heard, just as the teacher had said. Otherwise, “Nobody is going to feed you.” It was something a person new to the US, such as myself, needed to learn.21. The atmosphere in a US classroom is quite __________.A. livelyB. lonelyC. badD. quiet22. What does the underlined phrase “aloof from” mean?A. in spite ofB. instead ofC. apart fromD. away from23. What prevented the writer from getting a cookie for himself at first?A. His bravery.B. His shyness.C. His strangeness.D. His weakness.24. The “cookie crisis” in the last paragraph was __________ to the writer.A. an important problemB. a kind of valuable foodC. a turning point in his life attitudeD. a dream in his school lifeBMonday 2nd JanuaryI am in a small village in the Carpathian Mountains, north of Bucharest, the capital of Romania. I’vecome to see the brown bears, which come to the villages at night to look for food. They walk 20 kilometres a night to get here. A farmer told me that some of his sheep have been killed by bears. But this is unusual. Usually, the bears just take bits of food which people have thrown away. Tonight I hope I’ll see them.Tuesday 3rd JanuaryLast night I waited with a group of tourists and as it grew dark, we saw the huge black shapes of bears. It seems the bears don’t go for people, unless they are attack ed first. They were not afraid of the tourists, who took photos of them. Those clever bears knew where to go for their dinner. They jumped straight into the rubbish, where there was lots of food which people had thrown away.Wednesday 4th JanuaryAlthough it’s wonderful to see the bears in the village, it can only mean one thing: their habitat is disappearing. They would prefer to stay hidden in the mountain forests, but the trees have been cut down for firewood. So they cannot find enough food any more.Thursday 5th JanuaryToday I met the head of the Carpathian Animal Protection Group. He says that there are only about 2,500 bears left, and is worried that they will soon become extinct. Rich people from other countries pay a lot of money to come and shoot the bears for sport. The poor people from these villages need the money. But perhaps they could make more money from the tourists who want to come just watch the bears; and this would continue in the future. Once the bears are all dead, the tourists will stop visiting the village. But if the bears keep visiting the villages, then, perhaps, so will the tourists.25. The best title for this passage would be _____________.A. Hungry Brown BearsB. Brown Bears in the ForestC. Wandering Brown BearsD. Brown Bears—A Wonder26. It is unusual to the writer that ________________.A. the brown bears like to be taken photos of.B. the bears come out at night to look for foodC. the bears just take bits of food thrown awayD. the bears have attack ed a farmer’s sheep27. The villagers could continue to earn money from the bears if _________.A. they shot the bears for sportB. people paid more money to kill themC. more tourists came to see the bearsD. the villagers sold the bears’ skins to tourists28. What will happen to the bears in the future?A. They may be kept in zoos.B. They may become extinct.C. They may keep eating rubbish.D. They may be watched by visitors.CSun Tours: Short breaks in New YorkDAY 1: TIMES SQUARE AND THE LINCOLN CENTERWelcome to New York—the Big Apple! Here in New York the wonders of the Big Apple exceed (超出) all expectations—the fantastic skyline, wonderful restaurants, theaters, museums, shops and attractions. On your first day you will visit the famous Lincoln and Rockefeller Centers, and drive down Fifth Avenue. You will drive through Times Square, the “Crossroads of the World”. You will then travel to Central Park, a miracle in the center of Manhattan. Lunch is on your own, but this evening you will have dinner at the famous Jekyll and Hyde club, where the waiters are all dressed as vampires（吸血鬼）, and at some point in the evening Frankenstein （科学怪人）comes to life.DAY 2: EXPLORING THE CITYThe entire day is yours for sightseeing and shopping. Explore the attractive city of New York with its skyscrapers, bridges, historic landmarks and Broadway theaters.DAY 3: DOWNTOWN AND SOUTH STREET SEAPORTToday you will visit Greenwich Village, Wall Street and the World Trade Center. You will visit South Street Seaport, a 19th-century seaport with narrow streets, hundreds of shops, an international food stand and street entertainment. This afternoon you will visit Chinatown, and finally the Empire State Building Observatory, which towers 1,250 feet above New York City. You will use the high-speed elevators to go to the top, unlike King Kong who climbed up the outside of the building. This evening, you will have dinner at the well-known Tavern-on-the-Green restaurant overlooking Central Park.ARRIVING IN NEW YORKA Sun Tours representative will meet you at JFK airport and take you to your hotel, which is in the center o f the city. When you check in, you will receive further information about this evening’s “Getting-to know-each-other” party at the Manhattan Restaurant.29. If you want to join in this tour, which of the following will you contact?A. Sun ToursB. Hyde ClubC. Greenwich VillageD. JFK Airport30. How many places will you visit on the third day?A. FiveB. SixC. SevenD. Eight31. What can we know from the last paragraph?A. You will go to the hotel in the center of the city by yourself.B. When you arrive at the airport, you will be told about the tour plan.C. You have known all about the Manhattan Restaurant before your arrival.D. When you check in, you will know more about the evening party.DIf you say, “The cat’s out of the bag” instead of “The secret is given away,” you’re using an idiom. The meaning of an idiom is different from the actual meaning of the words used. “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is a proverb. Proverbs are old but familiar sayings that usually give advice. Both idioms and proverbs are part of our daily expressions. Many are very old and have interesting histories. See how many of these expressions you know.“Bury the hatchet.”Native Americans used to bury weapons to show that fighting had ended and enemies were now at peace. Today, the idiom means to make up with a friend after an argument of fight.“A close shave.”In the past, student barbers learned to shave on customers. If they shaved too close, their customers might be cut or even hardly escape serious injury. Today, we use the idiom if a person narrowly escapes disaster.“Raining cats and dogs.”In Norse mythology the dog is associated with wind and the cat with storms. This expression means it’s raining very heavily.To “shed crocodile tears.”Crocodiles have a reflex that causes their eyes to tear when they open their mouths. That makes it look as though they are crying while swallowing their food. In fact, neither crocodiles nor people who shed “crocodile” tears feel sorry for their actions.“Saved by the bell.”In 17th-century England, a guard at Windsor Castle was accused of falling asleep at his post. He claimed he was wrongly accused and could prove it; he had heard the church bell chime (鸣响) thirteen times at midnight. Townspeople supported his claim and he was saved. Today we think of the bell that ends a round in boxing, often saving the boxer from injury, or the bell at the end of a class period, saving you from more work. Now this idiom means rescue from a situation at the last possible moment.32. The best title of this passage will probably be ___________.A. Everyday ExpressionsB. Not Idioms But ProverbsC. Idioms and proverbs are oldD. Idioms or proverbs33. The purpose of this article is to ________.A. compare some useful and interesting idioms and proverbsB. tell us some idioms and proverbs which can be used todayC. explain the meaning of some interesting everyday expressionsD. show the importance of using proverbs and idioms in your writing34. It can be inferred from the article that _________.A. idioms and proverbs are a must in our lifeB. proverbs are more common than idiomsC. idioms are more interesting than proverbsD. it is difficult to guess the meaning of idioms35. Which of these statements is an example of “a close shave”?A. My brother bought a new computer yesterday.B. My friend will come to my city to see me.C. A car nearly hit me on my way to school.D. No one in my school has ever been to Canada.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。

What we consider polite behavior at home isn't always accepted outside our borders.●Etiquette of Gift GivingGift giving should be a happy, positive experience. When selecting a present for someone in Netherlands, don't purchase fancy kitchen knives or scissors. Giving sharp, pointy objects as gifts is considered unlucky. Be careful when presenting flowers to a friend or a business partner in Russia. Yellow blooms suggest cheat or a relationship break up. Traditionally, red carnations are placed on the tombs of the dead. Writing cards or notes while visiting South Korea, be mindful of your pen's ink color. Writing a person's name in red ink traditionally suggests that the person has passed away－an important point to remember whengiving a birthday card.●Eating CustomsBeing early or on time is viewed as being rude, too eager or even greedy in Venezuela. If you are invited to someone's home for a meal, it's recommended that you arrive 10 minutes later than the requested time. When having a meal in Egypt, don’t use the salt shaker (盐瓶). It's insulting to your host to spread salt on your food, which means that you find the meal terrible. Japan is a very polite nation, and their fondness for etiquette extends to the use of chopsticks. According to Japanese custom, if you're in the middle of eating, use the opposite end of your chopsticks to secure food from a shared plate. When doing business in Turkey, it’s the custom for your host to pay for your meal. Requests to split the bill won’t be accepted. If you would like to pay your fair share, Turks recommend inviting your host toa follow-up meal.21. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Giving a fancy kitchen knife to a friend from Russia is a good choice.B. You can use blue ink to write notes to your friend from South Korea.C. Dining with Japanese, one can use either end of thechopsticks to get food from shared plates.D. Invited to a meal, one should arrive earlier to show respect for the host.22. What does the underlined word “insulting” in Paragraph3 refer to?A. Respectful.B. Challenging.C. Indifferent.D. Offensive.23. Where is this passage probably from?A. A news report.B. A travel essay.C. A culture column.D. A food magazine.BIndividuality is the particular character, or aggregate (total) of qualities that distinguishes one person or thing from others. Many artists late in the last century were in search of a means to express their individuality. Modern dance was one of the ways some of these people sought to free their creative spirit. At the beginning there was no exacting technique, no foundation from which to build. In later years, trial, error and genius founded the techniques and the principles of the movement. Eventually, innovators (改革者) even drew from what they considered the dread （令人恐惧的）ballet, but first they had to get rid of all that was academic so that the new could be discovered. The beginnings of modern dance were happening before Isadora Duncan, but she was the first person to bring the new dance to general audiences and see it accepted and acclaimed (称赞).Her search for a natural movement form sent her to nature. She believed movement should be as natural as the swaying of the trees and the rolling waves of the sea, and should be in harmony with the movements of the Earth. Her great contributions are in three areas.First, she began the expansion of the kinds of movement that could be used in dance. Before Duncan danced, ballet was the only type of dance performed in concert. In the ballet the feet and legs were emphasized, with virtuosity (高超技巧) shown by complex, codified positions and movements. Duncan performed dance by using her body in the freest possible way. Her dance stemmed from her soul and spirit.She was one of the pioneers who broke tradition so others might be able to develop the art.Her second contribution lies in dance costume. She rejected ballet shoes and stiff costumes. These were replaced with flowing Grecian (希腊式的) tunes, bare feet,and unbound hair. She believed in the natural body being allowed to move freely, and her dress displayed this ideal.Her third contribution was in the use of music. In her performances she used the symphonies of great masters including Beethoven and Wagner, which was not the usual custom.She was as exciting and eccentric (怪异) in her personallife as in her dance.24．According to the passage, what did nature represent to Isadora Duncan?A．Something to conquer. B．A model for movement.C．A place to find peace. D． A symbol of disorder.25．Comp ared to those of the ballet, Isadora Duncan’s costumes were less _______.A．costly B．colorful C．graceful D．restrictive26. We can infer from the passage that the author _________.A. appreciates modern dance very muchB. dislikes Isadora Duncan’s danceC. thinks highly of individualityD. knows a lot about modern arts27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Artists of the Last Century B．Evolution of Dancein the 20th CenturyC．Natural Movement in Dance D．A Pioneer in Modern DanceCSince Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay climbed Mount Everest, Mount Qomolangma’s peak is no longer a lonely place and is turning into a trash heap（垃圾堆）.So far, more than 350 climbers have successfully reached the peak. And they have complained about waiting for hours in the bottlenecks (狭窄路段) on the way to the peak,a situation that isn’t just uncomfortable —it’s cold and windy up there —but downright dangerous. If bad weather strikes, climbers can and do die.As a matter of fact, the dangerous crowds aren’t the only problem on Qomolangma. All those climbers need to bring a lot of gear—and much of them ends up being left on the mountain, sometimes even the peak itself. Mount Qomolangma is becoming the world’s largest dump. Here’s mountaineer Mark Jenkins writing in National Geographic about the state of Qomolangma: “The two standard routes, the Northeast Ridge and the Southeast Ridge, are disgustingly polluted with oxygen cans and torn tents everywhere.”But the good news is that some mountaineers are taking it upon themselves to clean up Qomolangma. Mountianeer Paul Thelen and his friend Eberhard Schaaf are part of the annual Eco Everest Expedition, which has been cleaning up rubbish from base camps to the peak sinc e 2008. So far they’ve collected over 13 tons of garbage.Some of that rubbish is even being used for a higher purpose. As part of the Mount Everest 8844 Art Project, a group of 15 artists from Nepal collected 1.5 tons of garbage brought down the mountain by climbers. They’ve transformed the cans and oxygen tanks—and in one case, part of the remains of a helicopter—into 74 pieces of art that have already gone on exhibition in Nepal’s capital. Part of the profit from sales will go to the Everest Peakers Association, which has helped collect tons of rubbish on the slopes of the mountain.28. What do we learn about the bottlenecks on the way to MountQomolangma’s peak?A. They are relatively safe.B. They are often crowded.C. They are very easy to pass.D. They are sites of base camps.29. What does the underlined word “gear” mean?A. Equipment for climbing mountains.B. The food climbers brought onto the mountain.C. Some important machines used for the bottlenecks.D. Some rubbish found on the mountain.30. The group of 15 Nepali artists_________.A.created works of art using rubbish from QomolangmaB. were employed by the Everest Peakeers AssociationC. climbed Qomolangma and collected 1.5 tons of trashD. painted 74 beautiful p ictures of Mount Qomolangma’s peak31. What can be the best title for the text?A. Eco Everest Expedition Proves SuccessfulB. Qomolangma Has Become A Huge MessC. Test Yourself Against QomolangmaD. Recycle Rubbish On QomolangmaDStudents from Florida International University in Miami walked on water Thursday for a class assignment. To do it, they wore aquatic (水上的）shoes they designed and created.Alex Quinones was the first to make it to the other side of a 175-foot lake on campus in record time—just over a minute. Quinones, who wore oversized boat-like shoes，also won last year and will receive $ 500. Students had to wear the aquatic shoes and make it across the lake in order to earn an “A” on the assignment for Architecture Professor Jaime Canaves, Materials and Methods Construction Class. “It's traditional in a school of architecture to do boats out of cardboard for a boat race. I thought our students were a little bit more special than that,” Canaves said. “We decided to do the walk on water event to take it to the next level.”A total of 79 students competed in the race this year in41 teams. Only 10 teams failed to cross the lake. Others who fell got back up and made it to the end. The race is open to all students and anyone in the community. The youngest person to ever participate was a 9-year-old girl who competed in place of her mother, while the oldest was a 67-year-old female.A large crowd on campus joined Canaves as he cheered on the racers. He shouted encouraging words, but also laughed as some unsteadily made their way to the end.“A part of this is for them t o have more understanding of designing and make it work better,” he said. It is also a lesson in life for the students.“Anything, including walking on water, is possible, if you do the research，test it and go through the design process seriously.”32. For what purpose did the students take part in the race?A. To go across the lake to school.B. To test their balance on the water.C. To pass Professor Canaves’ class.D. To win the prize money of $ 500.33. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The students wore shoes distributed by ProfessorCanaves to walk across the lake.B. The students who fell into the water were criticizedseriously by the Professor.C. Most students finished the class assignment successfully.D. The students took part in the race to challenge their physical abilities.34. What can we infer from the passage?A. Alex Quinones is a top student in the university.B. It’s a custom for the people in the community to getinvolved in student activities.C. The student who made it to the end in the race wouldsucceed in their professional career.D. Professor Canaves attaches importance to hands-on learning experience.35. The purpose of the passage is to ___________.A. show his approval of the unique teaching styleB. report an interesting assignmentC. inspire teachers to be more creativeD. encourage more people to take part in the race第二节阅读填空（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（选项有两处为多余选项）Of the many unpleasant emotions we can experience, fear may top the list. 36 . Fear can also keep us from pursuing the things in life that really matter -- like following our dreams, and developing important relationships. I have some ideas, though, of how to be free from fear.●Experience fear.I used to be very afraid of speaking in front of people.I would get sweaty palms and my stomach would be so tied up that I wouldn't be able to eat. However, each time I spoke,I noticed afterwards that it wasn't that bad. Things I fear are never as bad in reality as I make them out in my mind.37 .●Create space.The first and most important step to being fearless is to create some space between ourselves and the emotion of fear. This isn't accomplished by ignoring the fear, or trying to talk ourselves out of it. 38 . In fact, a recent research shows that by simply admitting the emotion we actually begin to reverse the "fight or flight(逃避)"response in the body.Control the breath and feel the fear.Once we acknowledge the presence of fear, the second step is to control the breathing so that it becomes slower and gentler. We try to make the breath just a little bit longer, and feel how fear manifests(展现) in the body. 39 .With practice, we can create enough space between us and the emotion of fear so that we're able to replace a fearful thought with a positive one. 40 . For instance, before I get up to speak in front of a group of people, I imagine that the audience is positively impressed by what I say and that I manage to complete the speech successfully.A.Space is created only when we can honestly acknowledgethat fear exists.B.We can imagine a positive outcome for whatever we're aboutto do.C.Fear, if left uncontrolled, can even destroy our life.D.So one way to get rid of fear is to simply push ourselvesto do things that we fear.E.When we can see a positive outcome in our mind, fear nolonger holds us back.F.But fear is more than just physically unpleasant.G.As we pay attention to the physical symptoms of fear, wecan see fear objectively.请把41-70题答案直接写在试卷上，不另设答题纸，请注意卷面工整第三部分单句填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）41.

APeter loved to shop used articles. Almost a month ago, he bought popular word game that used little pieces of wood with different letters on them. As he was purchasing it, the salesgirl said, “Uh, look, the game box ha s n’t even been opened yet. That might be worth some money. ”Peter examined the box, and, sure enough, it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic. And he saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box.“You should put that up for auction (拍卖) on the Internet, and see what happens.”the salesgirl said.“Yes, you’re right. People like something rare.” Peter agreed, “I can’t imagine there be ing very many unopened boxes of this game still around 40 years later.”“Don’t forget to tell me if you sell it.” the salesgirl smiled.“No problem.” Peter said.After he got home, Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game. But he couldn’t find it. Then he typed in the name of the word game and hit Search. The search result was 543 websites containing information about the changes of the game. Over the years, the game had been produced using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors. He also found some lists of game fans looking for various versions of the game. Peter emailed some of them, telling them what he had.Two weeks later, Peter went back to the shop.“Hello. Do you still remember the unopened word game?”The salesgirl looked at him for a second, then recognized him and said, “Oh, hi!”“I’ve got something for you,” Peter said. “I sold the game and made $1,000. Thank you for your suggestion.” He handed her three $ 100 bills.“Wow!” the salesgirl cried out.“Thank you, I never expected it.”21. Which of the following best describes Peter’s word game?A. It was made around 40 years ago.B. It had game boards in different sizes.C. It was kept in a plastic bag with a seal.D. It had little pieces of wood in different colors.22.

Peter gave the girl $300 as a reward.B. The salesgirl became Peter’s friend.C. Peter returned the word game for $ 1,000.D. The salesgirl felt confused to see Peter again.24. What is the main theme of the story?A. It’s important to keep a promise.B. It’s great to share in other people’s happiness.C. We should be grateful for the help from others.D. Something rare is worth a large amount of money.BWhen I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish”, I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I readsome books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes… The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like salespeople.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.25. Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?A. He could not catch a fish.B. His father was not patient with him.C. His father did not teach him fishing.D. He could not influence a fish as his father did.26. What did the author’s father really mean?A. To read about fish.B. To learn fishing by oneself.C. To understand what fish think.D. To study fishing in many ways.27. According to the author, fish are most likely to be found _________.A. in deep water on sunny daysB. in deep water on cloudy daysC. in shallow water under sunlightD. in shallow water under waterside trees.28. After entering the business world, the author found _________.A. it easy to think like a customerB. his father’s fishing advice inspiringC. his first boss’s sales ideas reasonableD. it difficult to sell services to poor peopleCMonthly Talks at London Canal MuseumOur monthly talks start at 19:30 on the first Thursday of each month except August.

Liz PayneDT he freezing Northeast hasn’t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part- particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold- weather root vegetables- was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p.m, rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I’ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they’re dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular ta ble at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal- and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn’t be experiencing again for months.Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown’s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly openedrestaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where- luckily for me- I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I’d be ordering every tomato on it.32. What did the author think of her winter life in New York?A. Exciting.B. Boring.C. Relaxing.D. Annoying.33.

What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?A. They are soft.B. They look nice.C. They taste great.D. They are juicy.35. What was the author going to that evening?A. Go to a farm.B.

AIt’s school time again! You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a lit tle sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little afraid on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school.Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules and school rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention.You might already know a lot of people in your classes on the first day, but it’s a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friend!Seeing friends you haven’t seen in a while can make the first day a good one. You can make the day feel special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers（运动鞋）. It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll be needing. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.21. The underlined phrase “kick off” in the second paragraph probably means“_____”.A. startB. studyC. findD. teach22. The last paragraphs mainly tell us about ________.A. what to know about a new schoolB. how to prepare for a new schoolC. what to do on your first day of schoolD. how to spend your first day of school23. According to the passage you usually do everything on the first day of schoolexcept _______.A. introduce yourselfB. learn about the school rulesC. make new friendsD. go over your new lessons24. If you happen to see an old friend on the first day of school, from the passagewe know that you will feel ________A. nervousB. luckyC. happyD. excitedBIt was the first snow of winter -- an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up until now, l had been able to dress myself for recess（课间休息）, but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher at Princess Elizabeth School near Hamilton, Ontario, had been through first snow days many times in her long career(职业生涯), but I think she may still remember this one.I managed to get into my wool snow pants. But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots. In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of winter, you will be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t realize at the time that this was more a s tatement of hope than of confidence.I handed her my boots and stuck out(伸出) my foot. Like most children, I expected the adult to do all the work. After much work, she managed to get first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.I announced，“They’re on the wrong feet. ”With the patience that only experience can bring，she struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again. Then I said，“These aren’t my boots. you know. ”As she pulled the boots from my feet，she still managed to look both helpful and interested. Once they were off. I said，“They are my brother’s boots. My mother makes me wear them，and I hate them!” Somehow，from long years of practice，she managed to act as though I wasn’t an an noying little girl. She pushed less gently this time，and the boots were returned to their proper place on my feet. With a great sigh of relief，seeing the end of her struggle with me，she asked，“Now，where are your gloves?’’I looked into her eyes and said. “I didn’t want to lose them, so I put them into the toes of my boots. ”25. According to the passage，the little girl got from her brother.A. the wool snow pants and the jacketB. the jacket and the bootsC. the jacket and the hatD. the boots and the gloves26. What made it so hard for the teacher to help the little girl put her boots on?A. The gloves in the toes of the boots.B. The slowness of the teacher.C. The wrong size of the boots.D. The unwillingness of the girl.27. It can be inferred that before the little girl finally went out to enjoy the firstsnow of winter，the teacher had to help her put on her boots .A. onceB. twiceC. three timesD. four timesCIf you have ever been discouraged because of failure, please read on. Usually, achieving what you set out to do is not the important thing. Let me explain.Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. As they were working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch.“What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors.“We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!” one of the brothers answered excitedly.The older boys began to laugh, telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a long silence, one of the diggers picked up a jar full of spiders, worms and a lot of insects. He removed the lid and showed the wonderful contents to the visitors who were laughing at them. Then he said quietly and confidently, “Even if we don’t dig all t he way through the earth, look what we found along the way!”Their goal was far too difficult, but it made them dig. And that is what a goal is for—to make us move in the direction we have chosen. In other words, it sets us to digging!But not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end successfully. Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. But when you fall short of your aim, perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I found along the way! Look at the wonderful things whi ch have come into my life because I tried to do something!” And I believe it is the joy in the journey, in the end, that truly matters.28. The writer told us the story to ________ .A. advise us to treats our failures fairlyB. persuade us to make an aim for our livesC. encourage us to learn from the two brothersD. prove that failure helps us make achievements29. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Failure is the mother of successB. When there is a will, there is a wayC. No pains, no gainsD. Joy in the journey30. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Digging a hole all the way through the earth is impossible.B. The writer thinks that the two brothers will reach their goal one day.C. A goal is something that makes us want to dig holes.D. Everyone can succeed if he sets a practical goal.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，并在答题卡对应题号上将该项涂黑。

AThe house was quiet at 5 am and Tim’s mother was asleep. Only the sound of the b ig freezer broke the quiet. He’d dreamt of the cave last night. The purring (轻微颤动声) of the freezer had been the sea.Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. He’d eat after he’d been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea. He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches-but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she' d want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table: Gone to Michael’s. Back tonight, Tim.The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn't up. Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet.The sand hills still breathed heat from yesterday’s sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves.The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world.Over the first rocks, along to the point, Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky.He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He needn't go in all the way...21. What did Tim do at the beginning of the story?A. He put a sweater in his schoolbag.B. He had breakfast at home.C. He left a note on the freezer.D. He left the house quietly.22. What made it possible for Tim to see the entry to the cave?A. The height of the first rocks.B. The change in the position of the sun.C. The ups and downs of the waves.D. The vast stretch of the sunlit beach.23. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the story?A. Tim was the only person on the beach.B. Seabirds flew away when Tim arrived.C. The sea looked like a piece of gold.D. The sky got dark as Tim reached the cave.24. In the story, Tim’s mood changed from_________.A. loneliness to crazinessB. anxiousness to excitementC. eagerness to nervousnessD. helplessness to happinessBYou may know your mother, but how well do you really know Mother’s Day? Cards, flowers, sales, TV specials, and a day off for someone who really deserves (应得) it ---- those are what probably come to mind for many people when they think of Mother’s Day. But there’s more to the story.The earliest Mother’s Day celebrations were held during spring in ancient Greece. The celebrations honored Rhea, the Mother of the gods. During the 1600’s, England celebrated a day called Mothering Sunday. On this day even servants were given the day off to spend with their families. A mothering cake was even served with the family meal.In the US, Mother’s Day began in 1872 when Julia Ward Howe, who wrote the words to the famous song The Battle Hymn of the Republic, suggested it as a day devoted to peace. But it didn’t really become popular until 1907 when Anna Jarvis started a campaign to honor mothers. She believed that mothers could help people get over the pain they experienced during the Civil War. The US isn’t alone in devoting a day to mothers. Many other countries including Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, Japan, and Belgium also honor their mothers in May. Other countries honor their mothers at different times of the year.Learning more about Mother’s Day and celebrating Mother’s Day are important, but probably not as important as understanding what your own mother, or grandmother, or aunt has really done for you. And that will certainly be appreciated more than one day in a year.25. What is the passage mainly about?A. The reason why people celebrate Mother’s Day.B. The ways people honor mothers.C. The history of Mother’s Day.D. The contribution of mothers.26. Where was the earliest Mother’s Day celebrated?A. In ancient Greece.B. In the US.C. In England.D. In Italy.27. We can learn from the passage that _____.A. Rhea is the mother of a king in ancient GreeceB. all the countries do n’t celebrate Mother’s Day in MayC. only mothers were given a day off on Mothering SundayD. it was in 1872 that Mother’s Day really came into being28. The last paragraph tells us that _____.A. all the people should celebrate Mother’s Day by doing something good to their mothers.B. only mothers are honored on Mother’s DayC. understanding mothers’ work is more important than just celebrating Mother’s DayD. people should celebrate Mother’s Day every dayCA warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fallasleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium (钙)content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending(推荐) skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.29. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.A. started sleep more easilyB. were more anxiousC. were less activeD. woke up later30. Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?A. It’s been tested on mice for ten timesB. It can make people more energeticC. It exists in milk in great amountD. It’s used in sleeping drugs31. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Night Milk and SleepB. Fat Sugar and HealthC. An Experiment on MiceD. Milk Drinking and Health32.

2016～2017学年度10月份月考高三英语试卷考试时间100分钟试题分数150卷I第一部分：听力略第二部分：阅读理解（共2节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）ATom goes everywhere with Catherine Green,a54-year-old secretary.He moves around her office at work and goes shopping with her."Most people don't seem to mind Tom,"says Catherine,who thinks he is wonderful."He's my fourth child,"she says.She may think of him and treat him that way as her son. He moves around buying his food,paying his health bills and his taxes,but in fact Tom is a dog.Catherine and Tom live in Sweden,a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according to rules laid down by the government,which also provides a high level of care for its people. This level of care costs money.People in Sweden pay taxes on everything,so aren't surprised to find that owning a dog means more taxes.Some people are paying as much as500Swedish kronor in taxes a year for the right to keep their dog,which is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill.However,most such treatment is expensive,so owners often decide to offer health and even life premium for their dog.In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage their dog does.A Swedish Kennel Club official explains what this means:if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car，you,as the owner,have to pay for any damage done to the car,even if your dog has been killed in the accident.21.Catherine pays taxes for Tom because.A.Tom follows her everywhereB.Tom is her childC.Tom is her dogD.Tom often falls ill22.The money paid as dog taxes is used to.A.keep a high level of care for the peopleB.pay for damage done by dogsC.provide medical care for dogsD.buy insurance for dog owners23.The underlined world"premium"possibly means.A.payment for risksB.medical checkC.entertainment expenseD.protection fee24.If a dog causes a car accident and gets killed,who should pay for the damage done to the car?A.The owner of the car.B.The owner of the dog.C.The insurance company.D.The government.BParents will do anything for their children.Whether it would be the food,clothes,or the place they live in,parents will always make sure their children have the best of everything.One of the biggest concerns that parents currently have is educating their children.They are faced with lots of difficulties when it comes to education for their young ones.Choices include private school,charter school,public school or home schooling.Fortunately for parents，there are a variety of different strategies that they can take in order to increase their child’s overall intelligence.According to Ross A.Thompson,PhD,professor of psychology at the University of California at Davis,a child’s brain will actually reach90%of its full size by the time they start kindergarten.Researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago concluded that playing a musical instrument directly affected the brain stem,the lower section of the brain.Moreover,children that learn an instrument at an early age tend to continue it when they are older.And numerous studies show that a well balanced meal is essential for a child’s mental as well as physical health.Some other researchers recommended that a second language should be taught when children are in preschool.They state that three to four years of age is the perfect time and that any age under four would work perfectly well for a child’s brain development.The average child will learn how to read between kindergarten and second grade.Many parents can give their children a jump start by teaching them to read before they start school.Children could have an adequate background of thealphabet and sounds of words before attending school.This can be done by simply reading to them whenever you want. The more comfortable they get,the easier the process will be.25.From the first paragraph,we can infer that.A.parents find it hard to satisfy their kids’various demandsB.parents meet a new challenge when raising their kidsC.parents have more choices in offering education to their kidsD.parents get actively involved in the process of their kids’growth26.What suggestion may the researchers in the passage make?A.To train kids as early as possible.B.To try as many means as possible.C.To help kids develop as fully as possible.D.To use as many available resources as possible.27.What is the third paragraph mainly about?A.The proper time to teach children to learn languages.B.The effective ways to help develop children’s brains.C.The vital factors to have a great effect on children’s health.D.The practical steps to arouse children’s interest in study.28.We can replace the words“jump start”in the last paragraph with.A.inspirationB.introductionC.suggestionD.promotionCWhen I was small and my grandmother died,I couldn't understand why I had no tears.But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up,my laughs turned into crying.So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing are controlled by the same part of the brain.Just as laughing has many health advantages,scientists are discovering that so does crying.Whatever helps us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional health,and crying seems to work well.One study found that85percent of women and73percent of men report feeling better after crying.Besides,tears attract help from other people.Researchers agree that when we cry,people around us become kinder and friendlier and they are more ready to provide support and comfort.Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better;sometimes we don't even know we're very sad until we cry.We learn about our emotions through crying,and then we can deal with them.Just as crying can be healthy,not crying---holding back tears of anger,pain or suffering---can be bad for physical health.Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can1ead to high blood pressure,heart problems and some other illness.If you have a health problem,doctors will certainly not ask you to cry.But when you feel like crying,don't fight it.It's a natural,healthy and emotional response.29.Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother

Scientific DiscoveryDAs early as the mid-18th century,some people began raising doubts about Marco Polo’s travels.In1995,historian Frances Wood argued in her book Did Marco Polo Go to China?that the famous explorer from Venicenever made it to pass the Black Sea.She noted that his travel journal left out the Great Wall of China,chopsticks and tea drinking among other details.Furthermore,Chinese documents from Polo’s day made no mention of the explorer and his men.Wood and other scholars have argued that Marco Polo based his tales of China on information collected from fellow trades who had actually been st year,a team of Italian researchers became the latest to challenge Polo’s accounts(叙述).They said that evidence didn’t support his description of Kublai Khan’s Japanese invasions(侵略）.Now,however,research by Hans Ulrich Vogel of Germany’s Tubingen University might help prove Marco Polo was true.In a new book Marco Polo Was in China，the professor of Chinese history tries to prove that Marco Polo spoke the truth.He suggests,for example,that Polo didn’t include the Great Wall in his book because it only achieved its great importance in the Ming Dynasty several hundred years later.Vogel further explains that Chinese records from the13th and14th centuries avoided setting down visits from Westerners.Historians before him have touched on these issues.But Vogel also relies on another evidence:the explorer’s very detailed descriptions of currency and salt production in the Yuan Dynasty.According to Vogel,Polo documented these aspects of Mongol Chinese culture in greater detail than any other of his time.This is a hint(暗示)that Polo relied on his own powers of observation.Will we ever know whether Marco Polo traveled to China?Perhaps not,but the consequences of his real or fictional journey are still felt across the globe.One reader of The Travels of Marco Polo was Christopher Columbus,who stepped upon the New World while following his idol’s footsteps.33.France Wood doubted Marco Polo’s travel’s to China because his description.A.missed some important culture of ChinaB.covered so much about traders’lifeC.was full of obvious mistakesD.seemed less detailed34.Vogel’s trust on Marco Polo is based on the argument that.a.The Great Wall didn’t gain its importance thenb.Records in the Yuan Dynasty mentioned Poloc.Polo mentioned the currency and saltd.Polo’s other works are believablee.Polo recorded what he saw in great detailA.a,b,dB.a,c,dC.a,eD.b,c35.Which of the following shows the structure of the text?（P1为第一段，以此类推）when
