The International Seabed Authority (ISA) is allowing the company UK Seabed Resources Ltd. to e某plore the area on the Pacific Ocean floor for mining. However，the ISA said the company must first complete a biological study of the area before it can begin mining for metals. So，the company employed Amon and her group.Amon says that more than half of the animals they collected were completely new to science. Her group discovered not only new species，but new genera (动植物的属) of animals.Biological oceanographer Paul Snelgrove says that finding new species in the deep ocean is common. But，he said，finding a new genus “is really great”.Amon warns that if mining happens across the whole area，the ecosystem would be largely destroyed. But，she says，we will find the least damaging way to make mining possible.“There is a sort of scientific push to try and slow things down a bit so that the science can be done before. . . so it can be done with the least influence possible. . . ” she says.“It’s likely we are going to develop at least some parts of these deep ocean environments and do it in a way that’s going to minimize (最小化) our influence，”says Paul.1.What did scientists try to find out in the CCZA.Whether there is life.B.Whether there are valuable minerals.C.What sea life e某ists there.D.What metals lie under the sea floor.2.What does Paul say about finding new sea speciesA.It’s something unusual.B.It’s nothing to be surprised at.C.It has a far－reaching effect on science.D.It proves common species will change.3.What is Amon’s attitude towards mining the CCZA.Careful.B.Doubtful.C.Unsupportive.D.Uninterested.4.What does the underlined word “it” in the te某t refer toA.Mining.B.A scientific push.C.Finding the least damaging way.D.Developing the ocean environments.三、完形填空Justin knew there was only one way out of his neighborhood—basketball.

His first job was repairing machines in a factory. Byaccident, he had invented the hair straightener. He sold his products and then continued with his career as an inventor.Every day, Garrett Morgan watched traffic become more dangerous. Cars, bicycles and walkers all competed to cross the street. Police officers made simple “stop / go” signals at busy crossroads, but cars, bicycles and walkers still rushed into the crossroads at different speeds and many crashed into each other. One day he saw a traffic accident between a car and a bicycle at a busy crossroads. He realized ,the problem with the traffic light, was its poor design: the traffic signal lacked a transition (过渡) between “stop” and “go.”Morgan invented a new traffic signal that added a “caution” light that made traffic move more smoothly and safely. His traffic light stood on a T-shaped pole (杆) with arms that flashed a red light to stop traffic in all directions, allowing walkers to cross safely. After walkers crossed, traffic could only go in one direction.Soon, cities everywhere wanted his traffic light. In 1923, a popular electric company paid Morgan $40,000 to make and sell his invention. Traffic lights today work in the same basic way.The traffic light is Morgan’s most famous invention. In 1963, the United States government gave Garrett Morgan an award for his life-saving idea.1. What can we learn about Garrett Morgan from Paragraph 1?A. He worked in a factory all his life.B. He led a hard life in his early years.C. He made money from hair straighteners.D. He dreamed of being an inventor when he was a child.2. What made Morgan invent the traffic light?A. A traffic accident.B. A car driver’s advice.C. Worry about his safety.D. Hard work of police officers.3. According to the text, Garrett Morgan’s traffic light _____.A. made cars move more slowlyB. needed no help from police officersC. was special because it had a “caution” lightD. was very different from the ones we use today（二）Today, after 10 days of medical treatment, for the first time, I went out alone to meet a motherly lady who I had met during my stay in a program. She had been unwell recently and lived alone. Her sons live in foreign countries.After I called her and told about my plan to visit her, she started becoming excited and planning food at once. Nowadays, she has a lady cook coming by to help her but she does part of the work herself with her bandaged (绷带) leg.I reached her home alone after being guided a couple of times by her before. I carried little things (snacks, books etc.) for her. She had been waiting for some time when I arrived. We talked about different things from health to her life and mine, from past to future, from food to travel etc. During the discussion, her care for me became clear when she made warm suggestions or supported me.During the last few months, she had struggled with health and housework. She had got over those difficulties and here she was telling me how all of us must face some problems. She hadseen a few people facing worse problems in the hospital and mentioned about their cases and was grateful for her present condition which was manageable.She wanted to gift me something—she kept thinking of a dress, watch, footwear etc. whatever was new and great in her home. I kept refusing but finally took the footwear out of politeness.She loved the snacks I had brought and wanted to eat them with her tea, I was quite happy to see the childlike interest.While I was spending time with my motherly friend, the following thought kept coming back to me—probably this is why I have lived through the 10 days in this city.

But outstanding astrophysicist(天体物理学家) Stephen Hawking has admitted that he did not learn to read until he was eight years old. In a public lecture at the Royal Albert Hall, Professor Hawking also admitted that he was not active in studying while at Oxford University, where he studied physics, and that only the diagnosis that he might die young from motor neurone(神经元) disease made him concentrate on his work.Prof essor Hawking said: “My sister Philippa could read by the age of 4 and then she was definitely brighter than me.” He said that he was unexceptional at school and was never further than halfway up his class. “My classwork was very untidy, and my handwriting was the despair of my teachers,” he said. “But my classmates gave me the nickname Einstein, so presumably they saw signs of something better.”But he said that it was when doctors told him that he probably only had a few years to live at the age of 21 that galvanized him into focusing on his work and a period of productivity that resulted in some of his early breakthroughs. He said, “When you are faced with the possibility of an early death, it makes you realize that life is worth living and there are lots of things you want to do.”26. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Stephen Hawking is the second Einstein in the world.B. Stephen Hawking couldn’t read at the age of 7.C. Stephen Hawking’s handwriting was once terribly bad.D. Stephen Hawking’s sister once performed much better than him.27. What made Stephen Hawking devote himself to his work?A. Patience.B.

These ancient life forms can be seen only with a microscope. Penelope Boston, who leads the Astrobiology Institute at NASA, the space agency of the United States, says the ancient microbes were able to live by eating minerals such as iron.She spoke about the discovery recently at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. If the findings are confirmed, they will show how microbes can survive in extreme conditions. Forty different kinds of microbes and some viruses were found in the underground area. The genetic structures of these organisms are 10 percent different from those of their nearest relatives.The caves in Naica are 800 kilometers deep. They were once used for mining lead. Before the miners began working in the caves, the area was separatedfrom the surface and the outside world. Some of the caves are as big as the large religious centers built during Europe’s Middle Ages. There are crystals covering the walls. The caves are so hot that scientists must wear special clothing to keep cool. The clothing keeps the crystals safe from human germs（病菌）or other damage. Boston said the researchers could only work for about 20 minutes at a time before they had to go to a room that was 38 degrees Celsius to cool down.NASA officials would not let Boston share her findings with scientific experts before last week’s announcement. So scientists could not say much about the findings. But Norine Noonan, a biologist with the University of South Florida, said she believed them. "Why are we surprised?" Noonan asked. "As a biologist, I would say life on Earth is extremely tough and extremely colorful."Boston is also studying microbes commonly found inside caves in othercountries, such as Ukraine and the United States. These microbes appear to be impossible to kill. Boston said they show how difficult life on Earth can be.30. The existence of the ancient microbes relies on _______.A. surrounding insectsB. diverse plantsC. eating mineralsD. absorbing air31.What can we infer about the caves in Naica from the passage?A. The temperature in the caves is quite low.B. The caves have been explored since they were formed.C. The walls are covered by crystals.D. The environment in the caves is difficult to adapt to.32.What is the biologist Norine Noonan’s attitude towards the findings?A. Neutral.B. Positive.C. Doubtful.D. Indifferent.33. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Living organisms bring hope to scientific research.B. Scientists discover 50,000-year-old “super life” in Mexico.C. Microbes show great power to survive in terrible conditions.D. Caves provide living environment for living organisms.五、七选五【北京高考试题】The Science of Risk——SeekingSometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth tasking._34__Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans.Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring._35__As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today.So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it._36_No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years._37__To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well._38__For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain relatedto fear becomes active.As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.A. It all depends on your character.B. Those are the risks you should jump to take.C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.D. Thus, these well－equipped people survived because they were the fittest.E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.寒假训练01 Unit1 Great Scientists一、单词拼写【答案】1.characteristic2.defeat3.cure4.absorb5.foresee6.suspect7.challenge8.cautious9.contribute 10.expose二、完成句子【答案】11. cure their children of bad habits 12. has made great contributions13. under the control of 14. was instructed15. （should）join in三、单项选择【答案】16-20ACCAC 21-25CBCAC【解析】16. be to blame 该受到责备，主动表被动含义。

（1）Unit 1 Laugh out loud!——高二英语外研版寒假作业第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AWe have seen that humour and laughter positively influence our body in many ways, but little research has been done on whether a better sense of humour actually helps keep you from getting sick. However, since people with a better sense of humour have higher IgA levels, and since research has shown that those with higher levels of salivary(唾液的) IgA are less likely to get colds or be infected with Streptococcus, humour should reduce the frequency of colds.The only study to directly examine this question found that the impact of one's sense of humour upon colds depends on the kind of sense of humour you have. It was only individuals whose sense of humour took the form of seeking out and appreciating humour who had fewer and less severe colds/flu than their low humour counterparts. Surprisingly, those whose sense of humour took the form of initiating humour more often did not have fewer or less severe colds/flu. The researchers argued that being a person who likes to tell jokes or otherwise initiate humour takes them into more frequent contact with other people, which serves to expose them to infectious agents more often, robbing them of the advantage that a more active sense of humour otherwise offers. Obviously, more research is required to clear up this confusing picture.The importance of active use of one's sense of humour in producing humour's health benefits was confirmed in another study in an unusual way. It found that among a group of mothers with newborn infants, those who actively used humour to cope with the stress in their lives had fewer upper respiratory infections and their infants also had fewer infections. This seemed to be because these mothers had higher levels of immunoglobulin A(免疫球蛋白A) in their breast milk.Among adults, if we look at bodily symptoms alone, independent of any diagnosed illness, there is some evidence that individuals who have more negative reactions to humour report more bodily symptoms and complaints. Students complaining of cardiovascular(心脏血管的) symptoms and gastroenterological(肠胃病的) symptoms also have been shown to have this morenegative reaction to humour.1. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. People with a good sense of humour get sick less often.B. humour can reduce the frequency of colds/flu.C. Any form of humour can prevent people from getting sick.D. humour can treat illness.2. Why do newborn infants whose mothers use humour to deal with stress have fewer infections?A. Because they don't often get upper respiratory infections.B. Because they are stronger since they were born.C. Possibly because of the higher levels of immunoglobulin A in their breast milk.D. Because their mothers take better care of them.3. Students with some bad bodily symptoms show ________ towards humour.A. a positive attitudeB. a negative attitudeC. a neutral attitudeD. an unclear attitudeBToday we were looking after our two nieces. They started screaming in the room where they were playing while my husband and I cooked lunch. We quickly ran to see what happened and there was a small scorpion(蝎子) that somehow got into the house.My husband picked up the scorpion before it had a chance to get away. As he was catching the scorpion,the elder niece Alice said that it was good that he was there because "girls can't deal with that thing".My husband asked her who told her that. Alice just shrugged(耸肩) and said, "Everyone knows girls are afraid of bugs(虫子).'' So my husband called her over and told her, "You never have to be afraid of anything only because you're a girl. You're just as good as boys. When you saw this scorpion, you called me and your aunt here. You recognized there was something that could hurt you. So you got help. I'm proud of you for letting adults know about something that was a danger to you. You're very smart.''He held the scorpion's tail, adding, "As you grow up, people are always going to try to tell you what you can and can't do, but you can do anything if you put your effort into it. There're women that work with bugs for their jobs and study them." She got so excited at the thought of a womanbeing able to do things a man can do.At this point her little sister Lisa came towards them. So my husband sat there and explained the different parts of the scorpion, completely firing their imagination. Alice asked if she could hold it. Then my husband put it on her hands. She was so proud of herself that she talked about it until she went to sleep.1.Why did the author's nieces scream?A.They were bitten by a scorpion.B.They spotted a scorpion in the room.C.The author's husband caught a scorpion.D.The author's husband was cooking a scorpion.2.What can we learn about Alice from Paragraph 3?A.She admired her uncle very much.B.She prided herself on calling adults in time.C.She thought it normal for girls to fear bugs.D.She was afraid of being compared with bugs.3.Why did the author's husband say those words to Alice?A.To educate her to attend bugs.B.To show her what she can and can't do.C.To tell her to devote herself to everything.D.To encourage her to be brave and confident.4.Which of the following best describes the author's husband's lesson to Alice?A. Meaningless.B.Successful.C. Humorous.D.Boring.CNov. 21 is World Hello Day. It began back in the 1970s as part of an effort to make the world more peaceful. It was created by the United Nations just after the war between Israel and Egypt in 1973. The philosophy(理念) behind it is: Say "Hello" and stop war.It sounds like a fine idea, but most of us know that simply saying "Hello" won't bring about world peace. Still, on a smaller range, the simple act of saying "Hello" to someone can make a lot of difference.This might not be obvious. After all, it's such a casual thing and requires so little effort. Youraise your head to someone as you pass by them in the school corridor(走廊), say "Hello" then it's over.Although we might not realize it, a small thing like a greeting can mean a lot to a person. Many people are lonely because they're shy. They find it difficult to communicate with people, even though they want to. It leads to them feeling cut off.On this basis, maybe it's a good idea, not just on Nov. 21, but every day, to remember to say "Hello" to as many people as you can. The stranger who hears your greeting may secretly smile in their heart. You might even make their day.Greeting other people is the easiest way to be polite. Politeness is the way we individual humans link up with the rest of the human world outside of our circles of family and friends. Politeness is one of the aspects of culture that makes us a society rather than just many individuals living in the same space.No one said it better than the French author Joseph Joubert: "Politeness is the flower of humanity". A "Hello" to a stranger is a small thing, and often neglected(忽视), but through it we can make the world better for another person.1. What is World Hello Day intended for?A. Philosophy.B. Peace.C. Politeness.D. War.2. Why do many people feel lonely?A. They are unwilling to communicate with others.B. They are too shy to communicate with others.C. They are very fond of living alone.D. They don't like doing things as others do.3. What has an effect on people most?A. Raising heads to others.B. Doing something casually.C. Meeting in the school corridor,D. The simple act of saying "Hello".4. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. We should neglect a small thing.B. Saying "Hello" to others is powerful.C. The flowers make the world better.D. No one is better than Joseph Joubert.DReturning to a book you've read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend. There's a welcome familiarity—but also sometimes a slight suspicion(怀疑) that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship. But books don't change, people do. And that's what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative(有改造能力的).The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our connection with the work is based on our present mental register. It's true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings. But with reading, it's all about the present. It's about the now and what one contributes to the now, because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their own weight.There are three books I reread annually. The first, which I take to reading every spring, is Ernest Hemningway's A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it's his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating(令人陶醉的), an aging writer looking back on an ambitious(雄心勃勃的) yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard's Holy the Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble(随笔) about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortázar's Save Twilight: Selected Poems, because poetry. And because Cortázar.While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifts, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author's work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it's you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.1. Why does the author like rereading?A. It judges the writer-reader relationship.B. It's a window to a whole new world.C. It's a replacement for drinking with a friend.D. It adds the understanding of oneself.2. What do we know about the book A Moveable Feast?A. It's a brief account of a trip.B. It's about Hemingway's life as a young man.C. It's a record of a historic event.D. It's about Hemingway's friends in Paris.3. What does the underlined word "currency" in paragraph 4 refer to?A. Money borrowed that has not yet been paid.B. Something given in exchange for good work.C. Money given to somebody regularly.D. Value printed on the front of money.4. What can we infer about the author from the text?A. He loves poetry.B. He's an editor.C. He's very ambitious.D. He teaches reading.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

寒假高二英语练习题一、阅读理解Text 1I never had much money in my twenties. One September when I was 25, I decided to leave London and go to a small Greek island for a while. I had saved 100 pounds, which would last me for about a month. I arrived in Athens and waited at the port for my ferry to leave. An old Greek man in dirty overalls approached me. He was carrying a basket. He showed me some small leather purses he made and asked if I wanted to buy one. I smiled and shook my head to say ‘no’. He then opened his bask et to show me some of his other products. As I looked down, I saw a pack of playing cards. Suddenly, a thought struck me – I could teach people how to play card games on the ferry from Athens to the island. I could charge each person 5 pounds.I arrived at the island on a cold September day. There was no one on the beaches. I went into some hotels and explained that I could entertain guests on the long summer evenings by teaching card games. One owner said ‘yes’ and offered me a table and chairs outside his hotel. And so I waited for my first customer. Nobody came.I felt miserable. I had 5 pounds left and the ferry to go back to Athens cost 8 pounds. I was sleeping in a cave on the beach. It was windy and sometimes it rained. There was no one to talk to. I decided to return to Athens.I walked for 24 hours to get to the town where the ferry left from. I walked through the night and stopped in an olive grove where I slept on a bed of leaves. At dawn I woke to hear the first boat leaving for Athens. I ran to the port in desperation.The ferry was full, but I went to the ticket office anyway. I looked at the lady behind the desk and explained that I had come all this way to teach card games on the ferry. I showed her a card trick. She looked at the pack of cards and smiled. She gave me a ticket. I had just cost my last 5 pounds.1. Why did the author go to the small Greek island?2. What did the old Greek man show the author in his basket?3. What did the author hope to do on the ferry from Athens to the island?4. What was the result of the author's attempt to entertain guests on the island?5. How did the author manage to get a ticket back to Athens?Text 2I was in a crowded bazaar(集市) when I felt a tug(拽)at my sleeve(袖子).I turned to find a little girl, whose dirty hand was held out towards me. There was no questioning in her silent eyes. I looked to see her mother, expecting maybe to see her begging. She was nowhere to be seen. Then the child tugged at my skirt(衣襬)and pointed down the road. There, amidst(在…中间)the crowd working its way past one another, sat an old woman on a piece of sacking. Her legs were wrapped in rags(束), her face covered with the dirtthat comes from a life lived amongst the sweat and grime of a crowded city. In front of her was a small bowl with only a few coins in it.The little girl, her daughter, looked at me, eyes brimming with tears. The old woman’s face was hopeless as her eyes locked with mine. There was no question in her look. There was no hope.I took out the bill that I had been going to put into my pocket. It was a large one, fooling myself that I was unable to use it as an excuse to keep it there for myself. I dropped it into her bowl.Then I turned away and walked back through the dust and crowds and out of the city. I walked back into my own life, wondering what it was that I felt so guilty about. I had done a good deed today, hadn’t I?But I could not push away the question inside my head: Who had really asked? And why had there been no question in the eyes of that old woman as she looked at me from a lifetime of hopelessness?6. Why did the author feel guilty when she walked back into her own life?7. What did the author give to the old woman?8. What is the author's attitude towards the good deed she did?9. How did the old woman react when the author gave her the money?10. What question lingered in the author's mind after the incident?二、完形填空What keeps famous people happy? Research shows that happiness isn't all about money or lifestyle. According to the survey of 763 people, levels offame, number of awards and even people's earnings do not 11 to individual happiness at all. So what does keep famous people happy?The answer seems to be that happiness comes from other people, not money or fame. Professor Richard Wiseman from the University of Hertfordshire 12 the survey. 13 , 69% of the famous, who took part in the survey, said that other 14 the source of happiness. One former famous person said, "I have traveled all over the world, met hundreds of top people in my field and raced cars 15 my life. But none of these things made me remotely happy. It is the people in my life 16 matter: my friends and family. And now I no longer have to pretend to like people I 17 . Being myself is really refreshing." Happiness expert Professor Wiseman agrees, "Friendship is critical. Stop focusing 18 the wrong goal. Sit and stay with friends at home and make time to do 19 things you want to do instead of 20 what you think you should be doing."11. A. contribute B. relate C. happen D. mean12. A. applied B. organized C. analyzed D. developed13. A. Unexpectedly B. Therefore C. Fortunately D. Interestingly14. A. is B. are C. was D. were15. A. for B. during C. in D. to16. A. which B. what C. when D. who17. A. have B. like C. see D. know18. A. on B. for C. in D. to19. A. any B. few C. some D. each20. A. following B. carrying C. repeating D. expecting三、语法填空One of the greatest inventions of the last century is the mobile phone. It has 21 the way we communicate and brought us closer together. The development of mobile technology has been 22 (extreme) quick. Today, mobile phones are no longer just for making phone calls. They have become an essential part of our lives. However, the use of mobile phones also has a 23 (negative) impact on our lives.First of all, many people have become addicted to their mobile phones. They cannot go anywhere without them and are constantly checking for messages or updates. This constant connection to the digital world has made it harder for people 24 (enjoy) real-life interactions and has led to a rise in social isolation.Secondly, the use of mobile phones in public places can be disturbing to others. It is common to see people talking loudly on their phones in restaurants, movie theaters, or public transportation. This lack of consideration for others can ruin the experience for everyone around them.Moreover, excessive use of mobile phones has been linked to health problems. Studies have shown that prolonged exposure to the radiation emitted by mobile phones can increase the risk of cancer. Additionally, the constant use of phones can lead to poor posture and eye strain.In conclusion, while mobile phones have greatly improved our ability to communicate, they also have negative effects on our lives. It is important for individuals to find a balance and use their phones responsibly.四、写作请你用英语写一篇短文，谈谈你最喜欢的一本书，并解释为什么它对你有如此重要的意义。

2019学年高二英语下学期寒假验收考试试题第一部分：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）AThe Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB”in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated(隔绝) and inactive.Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: “For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.”“But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to.”Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, “The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.“For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. We’re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.“We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”1.What is the purpose of the Drivel ABA.T o explore newmeans of transport.B.To design new types of cars.C.To find out older driver`s problems.D.T o teach people traffic rules.2.Why is driving important for older people according to Phil BlytheA.It keeps them independent.B.It helps them save time.C.It builds up their strength.D.It cures their mental illnesses.3.What do researchers hope to do for older driversA.Improve their driving skills.B.Develop driver-assist technologles.C.Provide tips on repairing their cars.anize regular physical checkups.4.What is the best title for the textA.A new Model Electric CarB.A Solution to Traffic ProblemC.Driving Service for eldersD.Keeping Older Drivers on the RoadBWhen 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 doesAs I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some 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 huts 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 sales people.”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.5. Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nineA. 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.6. What did the author’s father really meanA. T o read about fish.B. To learn fishing by oneself.C. T o understand what fish think.D. T o study fishing in many ways.7. 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.8. This passage most likely comes from _________.A. a fishing guideB. a popular sales bookC. a novel on childhoodD. a millionaire’s biographyCLiving in a foreign country can be exciting, but it can also be confusing (令人迷惑的).A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunications were always possible, even over something as simple as “yes”and “no”.On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked,“Do you have cold drinks?”The woman there didn’t say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which in Micronesia means“yes”.Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, “Do you have cabbage today?”He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means “no”.Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some students had not understood, so heexplained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean “yes” or “no”.9. These Americans teaching English in other countries found that they ______.A. should go abroad for vacationsB. needed to learn foreign languagesC. should often discuss their experiencesD. had problems with communications10. People in Micron esia show “yes”by ______.A. nodding headsB. raising eyeb rowsC. shaking headsD. saying “no”11. Tom misunderstood his class at first because______.A. he did not know much about Indian cultureB. he didn’t explain everything clearly enoughC. some students didn’t understand his questionsD. he didn’t know where the students came from12. Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?A. In Bulgaria, nodding heads means “no”.B. Jan taught English on a Pacific island.C. Lisa was trying to buy some cabbage.D. I n India, only shaking heads means “yes”.DWhat are the biggest problems that society will have to deal with in the 21st century There are diseases like AIDS and cancer. There’s climate change, of course. And what about producing enough cheap food and energy for the world’s growing population Who’s going to solve all these terrible problems Yes, politicians and world leaders will have a big part to play. Yes, businesses will need to create the economic wealth to pay for some of these things. But who’s going to make a much greater difference to something like AIDS or climate change It’s going to be a scientist. It is the scientist who can turn some new bit of science into a new technology to solve these problems.If you like thinking about the world around you, why not become a scientist.It doesn’t mean you have to wear a white coat and plastic glasses and spend all your time in a lab as most people often imagine! Scientists do all kinds of a amazing things that are actually interesting!Military scientists develop not only new weapons(武器) but new military technologies that could help make wars out of date. Forensic(法医的) scientists work with the police to find quite small clues to bust (指控)criminals. Scientists work in schools and colleges as the teachers and professors who will train tomorrow’s scientists. Don’t think a scientist is far away! Maybe you like cooking .You could be a food technologist helping to keep fruit and vegetables fresher for longer. Perhaps sport is your thing. Do you know that most top athletes work with sports scientists in order toimprove their performance .You could even be the science writer who gets to spend the life studying the latest advances and sharing them with the world.Looking for something to do for the rest of your life, my advice take a long and hard look at science. It is interesting and ever.13. Many problems are mentioned in the first paragraph to ________.A. show scientists play an important part in solving themB. introduce the causes of these problemsC. show the writer’s worry about the future worldD. suggest they are impossible to be solved14. Most people think the life of scientists is _______.A. amazingB. boringC. colorfulD. unreal15.The passage is intended for people who_____A. have little knowledge of scienceB. have no interest in scienceC. hope for the world peaceD. haven’t decided on their career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。

So, Shanghai was responsible for cleaning and protecting the lower reaches of the Chang Jiang River but had no say in how the river’s upper reaches, which feed into Shanghai, are maintained.The new law will make it easier to control the amount of waste that ends up in local rivers and reduce inefficient use of waterways, said Zhang Jia-yi, director of the Shanghai Water Affairs Bureau, on the bureau’s website commenting on law yesterday.Zhang said the new law focuses on the efficient use of water sources and emphasizes the harmonious development of China’s population, its economy and environment.Zhang also emphasizes the city will crack down on companies and individuals that pollute the city’s water sources. The bureau sets up a special force to investigate(调查) water pollution in March.So far this year, the bureau has published more than 3 million in fines on various polluters, Zhang said.36. The best title for the news report should be ______.A. A new Law Is BornB. A New Water Law to Protect RiversC. Is it Necessary to Protect the RiversD. Make Full Use of Water Sources37. The underlined phrase “crack down on〞means _____.A. bring up carefullyB. speak highly ofC. deal with seriouslyD. destroy completely38. Which of the following is NOT true?A. The law in 1988 is suitable for the newrequirements.B. The new law will stop waste being pouredinto the Chang JiangRiver.C. A lot of polluting units have been fined thisyear.D. The new law and the old one are the samein protecting the environment.39. We can infer from the passage that _____.A. the problem of protecting the water sourceswasn’t paid much attention toB. no laws were carried out to manage thewater sources in Shanghai.C. the new law mainly emphasizes how tomake use of the water sources.D. companies or individuals that polluted the water sources didn’t get fined.BThe winter holidays are a special time at the White House. Each year, about 44,000 people come to see the holiday decorations or to attend holiday parties at the President’s home in Washington, D.C.I was able to attend a press preview of the holiday decorations recently, which was hosted by First Lady Laura Bush. This year’s theme for the decorations is “All Things Bright and Beautiful.〞The decorations are all made of fresh flowers, garlands(花环), and fruits. The flowers will have to be changed every few days to keep the look fresh.The main Christmas tree is in the Blue Room. It’s an 18-foot fir tree—tall enough that the chan-delier(吊灯) had to be removed to make room for it. Fresh white lilies(百合), crystal garlands, and white lights decorate the White House Christmas tree. The room smells of pine and lilies.Mrs. Bush was asked whether she called the tree a holiday tree or a Christmas tree. “We know that Americans celebrate the season in a lot of different ways,〞she said. “We’ll have a party and a reception here at the White House later during the month. But I think we’ve always called this the White House Christmas tree.〞Another centerpiece of the decorations each year is the gingerbread house(姜饼屋), made by chief Thaddeus Dubois.“This is his second gingerbread house,〞Mrs. Bush said. “And this year Dubois painstakingly(辛苦地，辛勤地) made it special.〞The gingerbread house was made with 100 pounds of gingerbread, 150 pounds of white and dark chocolate, and clear, poured sugar windows. A strand of white lights inside the Gingerbread White House made it glow.40. Mrs. Bush chose “All Things Bright and Beautiful〞as the theme for the decorations to ______. .A. highlight nature’s beautyB. show the great wealth of the familyC. express her love of the countryD. differ from other people’s ideas41. Which of the following can probably be used todescribe the White House after the decorations?A. New and clean.B. Elegant(高贵的) and beautiful.C. Smelly and shaky.D. Luxurious(豪华的) and serious.42. The passage is mainly about ______. .A. how Americans observe ChristmasB. decorating the White House for holidaysC. the differences between a holiday tree anda Christmas treeD. how to select a present for the White HouseCDuring recent years, floods and flash floods have caused billions of dollars in damage each year. They are among the most common and widespread of all natural disasters. Even more importantly, they’re No.1 weather-related killer. A flood can happen anywhere along the Mississippi, in New England, even in the desert.The following are some fascinating facts about floods and flash floods.A flood〔commonly called river flood〕is high flow of water from a river or similar body of water, happening over a period of time too long to be considered a flash flood. Flooding is caused in many ways. Winter or spring rains, together with melting snows, can fill rivers too quickly. Heavy rains from hurricanes or other tropical〔热带的〕systems can also produce river flooding. The Mississippi RiverFlood of 1993 was caused by repeated heavy rain from thunderstorms over a period of weeks.Flash floods are quickly-rising floods which are usually the result of heavy rains over a short period of time, often only several hours or even less. They can also be caused by ice jams〔冰塞〕on rivers related to a winter or spring melting, or occasionally even a dam break. The constant influx〔聚集〕of water finally caused a great overflow to begin, powerful enough to sweep vehicles away, roll big stones into roadways, uproot trees, level〔夷平〕buildings, and knock bridges down. The speed of the rising of water is the most frightening.Do remember: Move to higher ground and stay away from low areas during heavy rain. Stay out of flooded areas. Never allow children especially to play or walk in flowing water. Never drive your car into water of unknown depths.43. What is the best title for the passage?A. The power of floodsB. The damage of floodsC. The occurrence of floodsD. The facts about floods44. The last paragraph is mainly about ______.A. flood safety tipsB. the reasons for floodsC. the waste water systemsD. the swift flood waters45. According to the passage, people are afraid of _____ most during flash floods.A. the constant influx of waterB. the sudden occurrence of flash floodsC. the quick rising waterD. the great damage of flash floods46. According to the passage, flash floods are ______.A. great floods resulted from heavy rains in ashort timeB. floods rising quickly from heavy rains in ashort timeC. quickly-rising floods in a long timeD. floods happening over a long timeDIn 1990 Peter Salovey Ph. D and John Mayer Ph. D coined the term Emotional Intelligence. Their research has opened many people’s eyes to the fact that EQ or emotional quotient holds the key to one’s happiness and well being, and helped us to realize that our emotional makeup can be so much more important than our mental, or what we refer to as IQ—intelligent quotient.IQ is essential for learning and mental development and EQ is much more important for happiness and success. Some time ago a study done in the United States proved that doctors who were impatient and did not exhibit much care towards their patients were more likely to be sued (起诉) for malpractice(渎职), whereas doctors who were caring and attentive to their patients were less likely to be sued even if they made a critical mistake. A woman wrote to newspaper recently telling about her brother. He was apparently a genius but did not get along with people, quit every job he started, and eventually became a taxi driver. These are just a few examples of people with high IQ but low EQ.We have all known people who did not complete college, but who have become very successful in business. We call them street smart. We also know people who, on the whole, are positive, communicative, pleasant and supportive—these people enjoy a high level of EQ.Many people wish to improve their EQ for the purpose of becoming happier, more successful, and at the same time more balanced, individuals. The remarkable thing about EQ is that it can always, at anyage, be improved, unlike IQ, which remains more or less fixed in adult life.Now psychologists start workshops focusing on showing people how to increase their EQ. This enables them to accomplish their dreams and desires, rid themselves of negative patterns and shows them that once they master their inner world, their outer world becomes much better.47. In the second paragraph, the author gives ustwo examples to show that _____.A. doctors in the United States are ofteninvolved in casesB. working as a taxi driver in the United Statesrequires high EQC. those with high IQ are often engaged in the low-rank workD. those with low EQ have a harder timesurviving in life48. Which of the following can’t be used todescribe the people with a high level of EQ?A. They are positive, communicative, pleasantand supportive.B. They are optimistic and untroubled bydifficulties.C. They are impatient and show little caretowards others.D. They may be very successful in business.49. It can be inferred that predicting future successes, ______.A. a person’s brainpower might actually matterless than a person’s characterB. a person’s IQ might be more importantthan a person’s EQC. IQ plays an important role as well as EQD. both IQ and EQ are the key points that should be considered50. Which of following is NOT true according to the passage?A. People with high IQ are likely to gain knowledge quickly.B. At work EQ gets you hired easily and IQgets you promoted.C. Having a high IQ will help us in some waysbut having a high EQ might help us evenmore.D. People’s EQ could be raised much morethan their IQ.单词拼写〔共10小题；每一小题1分，总分为10分〕1．She felt g________ about leaving her sick child and going to work.2．I must a________ for not being able to meet you at the airport on time.3．Whenever I get into trouble, he comes to my help without h_________.4．In order to avoid the p______ for the wrong that he had done, he went to a European country in 1981. 5．He was too s__________ to admit that he was wrong and refused to say sorry to his girl friend. 6．If you want to pass your exams, you’d better change your a__________ toward study.7．She was a________ to graduate from college and get a well-paid job.8．You’ve put me in a very a_______ position and now Idon’t know how to deal with the matter.9．I tried to p__________ him to change his mind but he refused to follow my advice.10．I am sorry that I was a______________ just now and didn’t quite catch what you said.书面表达〔总分为25分〕近几年中小学生近视人数大幅增加，据报道多达30%—50%的中小学生戴眼镜，而且这一数字还在呈上升趋势。
