A tourist map.C. A museum guide.D. A news report.BIn the 1700s, a scientist was someone who thought about the way things work and tried to find out ways to make things work better. Today. that definition (定义) is still true. Every time Ben Franklin saw a question andtried to answer it. he was a scientist. Ben is most famous for his questions about electricity, hut he also experimented with many other ideas in nature.In 1743. Ben observed that northeast storms begin in the southwest. He thought it was strange that storms travel in an opposite direction to their winds. He predicted that a storm's course could be charted (绘制). Ben rode a horse through a storm and chased a whirlwind three-quarters of a mile in order to learn more about storms. So, in a way, Ben was a weatherman too!Since Ben spent so much time sailing go Europe across the Atlantic Ocean, he became very interested in both ocean currents and shipbuilding .Ben was actually one of the first people to chart the Gulf Stream.In November of 1783. Ben happened to be in Paris, France, working on a peace tre"0' (条约) to end the American war against England. From his hotel window. he was able to watch the world's first known hot-air balloon flight. The balloon lifted the Montgolfier brothers off the ground as the first human beings ever known to fly. Ben ,vas very interested in the idea of flight, predicting that one day balloons would be used for milita0 (军事的) spy flights and dropping bombs during battle. Soon. balloons were actually being used for entertainment. military, and scientific purposes. Even though they could not yet be steered, many people volunteered to take a ride just for fun! Sadly, Ben Franklin died three years before the first American hot-air balloon voyage. In 1793, Jean-Pierre Blanchard lifted off from the Walnut Street Prison Yard in Philadelphia, beginning the hot-air balloon craze in America.25. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Ben Franklin was a true scientist.B. Ben Franklin could hardly be called a scientist.C. Ben Franklin was most interested in electricity.D. Ben Franklin was only interested in things in nature.26. Ben Franklin went to Paris in November of 1783 to——．A. sign a treatyB. have a talk with BritainC. seek support from FranceD. experiment with hot-air balloons27. When Ben Franklin saw the first known hot-air balloon flight, he predicted hot-air :Balloons______．A. would be a risky sportB. could be used in wars'C. couldn't be widely used in the futureD. could be mostly used for entertainment28. We can infer from the last paragraph that Ben Franklin ______A. introduced hot-air balloons to AmericaB. saw the hot-air balloon flight by accidentC. was not interested in hot-air balloons at firstD. made a wrong prediction about hot-air balloonsc .The bell rings and in a few moments. the most disordered part of the day begins-lunch. Food begins to be dished out. and some students are eager to see their friends. while others cannot bear the thought of what is about to happen. Anxie0,(焦虑) builds for many as they think today will be just like any other day. Press repeat and this happens every day.But Bridport Elementary in Bridport introduced a system to solve this classic scene of loneliness and meet new friendships. There's hardly room for the question, "Will you save me a seat?" at Britiport Elementary where students are guided to assigned(指定的) tables and given the. opportunity to open their hearts and minds to a new friend. The school's president Kilbourne had observed too many days in which the same kids were leftalone, while the others were always accompanied by friends. Something had to change.The school gives a new system- in which students line up to pick a numbered stick before getting their food. Each stick has a number that's linked with a table, showing where they will eat lunch for the day.This system was used five months ago. Today, if you walked into the cafeteria. you wouldn't find any numbers or any sticks. Kilbourne made a promise to the students that the system would eventually disappear if she saw that students learned to value inclusivity （包容) and friendship.People really saw a change. A girl was walking around by herself with her lunch in her hand. and four tables asked her to join them. At another table. a kindergartener was sitting alone for just a few moments before two sixth graders came over to sit with him. and actively included him in conversation.Now we are left wondering: how can lessons learned from the cafeteria be used elsewhere? Students and adults all over the country could benefit from an approach in which every person is always welcome at the table in any situation.29. What inspjred the president of Bridport Elementary to introduce the system?A. Students didn't speak to friends at a table.B. Students didn't manage to get a seat in the cafeteria.C. Students had no one to communicate with in a crowd.D. Students had little interest in lunch due to the pressure of study.30. Why couldn't w e find any numbers or any sticks in the cafeteria?A. Because students were tired of them.B. Because they didn't work out as expected.C. Because they were replaced by something else.D. Because there was no need for them any more.31. How is the fifth paragraph mainly developed?A. By making comparisons.B. By giving examples.C. By giving instructions.D. By showing research findings.32. What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the text?A. The benefits of the system.B. The disadvantages of the system.C. The wider use of the system.D. The lessons learned from the system.DWelcome to one of the largest collections of footwear (鞋类) in the world that will make you green with envy. Here at the Footwear Museum you can see exhibits(展品) from all over the world. You can find out about shoes worn by everyonefrom the Ancient Egyptians to pop stars.33.

APeople all need friends because nobody wants to be lonely and a friend can help you in good and bad times. You’ve made friends since childhood，but you still don’t know who your true friends are. Here are some signs to tell you if your friend is a true friend：Always honestHonesty is important to keep a relationship alive. A true friend always tells you the truth. It may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship. It is important that your friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories._________________There are always periods in your life when you have problems or difficulties. A true friend will always have time to listen to your problems and give advice. He may not be able to offer a solution to your problems but the fact that your friend made time to listen is a sign he/she cares for you. Your friend is not a true friend if he/she can never make time for you when you are in trouble. You also need to be reasonable and accept that your friend also has other things to do so he/she can’t always listen immediately to your problems.Always respectful (尊敬的)A true friend will always respect your opinion no matter whether he/she agrees or not. Your true friend may disagree but never insists that he/she is correct.Always understandingIt is possible that some problems will arise between you and your friend. A true friend will always be forgiving (体谅的) and understanding，even if it isn’t his/her fault. We are all different people and we all make mistakes. A true friend is always forgiving and understanding because he/she doesn’t want to take the risk of losing his/her best friend.1.What’s the best title for the third paragraph?A.

Remember your important days2.According to the passage，a true friend will always _________________ .A. follow your adviceB. offer a solution to your problemsC. listen immediately to your problemsD. respect your opinion even if he/she disagrees with it3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.

It was a large celebration. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a piece of advice, “I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage,” she offered. “Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together.”The husband agreed. So each of them tried to think of the things that annoyed them about the other and wrote down what they came up with. The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists.“I‟ll start,” offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill three pages. In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband‟s eyes because he never thought that he had so many shortcomings.The wife continued to read until she had read all three pa ges to her husband. “Now, you read your list and then we‟ll talk about the things on both of our lists,” she said happily.Quietly the husband stated, “I don‟t have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect. I don‟t want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn‟t want to try and change anything about you.” The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don‟t really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us and see the wonderful things before us?5. Why were there tears in the husband‟s eyes when the wife read his annoyances?A. Because he had no courage to face his shortcomings.B. Because he never thought he had so many annoyances in his wife‟s eyes.C. Because he was sorry that he didn‟t find any annoyance about his wife.D. Because he didn‟t think he deserved to have such a perfect wife.6. After hearing the husband‟s words, the wife felt _________. .A. moved and ashamedB. sad and disappointedC. satisfied and proudD. surprised and confused7. The story is intended to tell us that ___________. .A. disappointment cannot be avoided in our lifeB. young couples should be more tolerant (宽容的) to each otherC. we should turn a blind eye to other people‟s blameD. we should try to look for and see the wonderful things around usCI was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise. In the end ,I said, “ Son, rem ember: Be slow and steady, and that will win the race. Don‟t you think there‟s something to learn from the tortoise?”Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I‟m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn‟t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”“He didn‟t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance (坚忍不拔的), by pushing on steadily.”Sonny thought a while. “That‟s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn‟t happened to fall a sleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he‟d never have won the race. That‟s for sure.”I gave up. Today‟s children are not like what we used to be. They‟re just hopeless.8. The writer argued with his son because ______________.A. he liked tortoises while his son liked haresB. they disagreed about whether the tortoise was foolishC. he tried to teach his son a moral (品德) lesson but the son had totally differentopinionD. he liked the story of the hare and the tortoise while his son didn‟t.9.

Billy, Tony and Sandy must be_______________.A. boys who were unknown to Sonny‟s fatherB. boys who Sonny has run races with beforeC. boys who Sonny has never raced with beforeD. boys who Sonny did not expect to race with again11. According to the passage, who do you think learnt a lesson?A. The tortoiseB. SonnyC. The hareD. Sonn y‟s fatherDPeople have always been wondering about what our future will look like. Go on reading this text, and you will know what will happen in the next fifty years.How can we know what the future will look like? To be able to understand the future, you must know the past. What has taken us to where we are today and what has changed along the way? The world has changed a lot in the last 150 years, but we humans are driven by the same basic needs as we were 150 years ago. Will this change in the next 150 years? No.What inventions have really made a difference in the last 150 years? In the past years, the inventions that have affected most people around the world for everyday living are the telephone, electricity, radio, television, computer, the car and the ability to communicate through the Internet. Then we of course have a lot of inventions that have made life easier, like new medicine, faster transports etc. In general, human beings have been working hard in the last 150 years to make the inventions so that they will be able to get control of the time and the world. Since there is still much to do in this area, this will be the focus at least for the next 150 years.Why do we need to predict the future? Predicting the future is important for two reasons: first we need to start to think about what kind of future we would like for ourselves and to pass on to the next generation, and then we need to know what decisions we need to make today that will give the best result in the future.12. What does the author try to tell us in the second paragraph?A. Our basic needs will not change in the future.B. The world is quite different from what it was.C.

The decisions we make for our future.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。

He said, “Wolfie was more than just a pet to me.” Wolfie died two years ago, at the age of 15. But long before she and her sister Bubble passed away, Onruang had plans to bring them back to life. Onruang said, “I buried them at home. Each time I visit them, I say, …Hi, I‟m making a new body for you.‟”Finally, Onruang found the South Korean biotechnology company RNL Bio, which can and will clone animals. Onruang collected his dogs‟ stem cells (干细胞), and then he started a website , so he could earn and save the $310,000 that the cloning would cost.The new dogs should look identical (完全相同的) to Wolfie and Bubble. When the cloning process is done, Onruang may end up with several clones of each dog. But Onruang admits he‟s still not sure that they will be exactly the same.Scientists cloned the first animal, a sheep named Dolly, in 1996 in Scotland. That project has raised ethical (伦理的) questions about where science should draw the line. Another question is whether such technique will lead to a day when humans could be cloned.“If I had an opportunity to clone myself, I would do it readily,” Onruang said. “Because it‟s me, I‟m raising myself. I have already known exactly my strengths and weaknesses. This person is going to be the new and improved me, and will live the life I‟ve always wanted to live.”21. Onruang started the website in order to .A. encourage more people to clone their petsB. draw people‟s attention to cloningC. raise money to pay for the cloningD. collect his dog‟s stem cells22. The purpose of the fourth paragraph is to tell us .A. when and where scientists cloned the first sheep DollyB. people are in favor of the clone technologyC. cloning will be of great benefit to humansD. there are arguments about the clone technology23. What is Onruang‟s attitude towards cloning humans?A. He is enthusiastic about it.B. He doesn‟t care about it.C. He strongly opposes it.D. He never thinks about it.BSuppose you work in a big firm and find English very important for your job because you often deal with foreign businessmen.

But a long time ago, it wasn‟t easy at all. Before 1750, the idea of skating didn‟t exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin‟s work was making musical instruments. In his spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball(化妆舞会). He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was astonished to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall. Down fell the mirror, breaking to pieces. Nobody forget Merlin‟s grand entrance for a long time!28. The text is mainly about ____.A. a strange manB. an unusual partyC. how roller skating beganD. how people enjoyed themselves in the 18th century29.

Merlin succeeded beyond expectation.D. Merlin got himself into trouble.DA man was walking on a mountain when he found an amazing cave. Stored inside were all kinds of treasure and precious stones. When he saw it, he concealed the caveentrance and stayed there, guarding it.From that day on, the man hid all his valuables in the cave, and to avoid anyone suspecting he was rich, he gave up his job, his home, and his friends. He constantly watched the approaches to his cave, wanting no one to find out about it. Fearing thieves, he guarded the cave all night long.He was so devoted to the cave that he hardly ate or drank. Before long, he fell ill. Many days passed, and he got thinner and sicker, losing all his strength. One day, when he could hardly move at all, he realized that it was his greed that had brought him to this extreme end. He understood that guarding his treasure had been of no use and no good. He decided to share it with others.He crawled(爬) into the cave to fetch some jewels, but discovered that the cave was almost empty. All he could find was a small emerald (绿宝石). He took it and left the cave, intending to give it to the first person passing by. Soon a woman approached and accepted the e merald with great joy. The man said to her, “I could have given you many more riches, but I don‟t know where they went. This is all I have now.”“Are you sure there‟s nothing else?” replied the woman. The man shook his head and pointed to the cave. He found that some riches were still there; he saw some gold coins. He said, “Take them with you.” The woman took both the emerald and the coins, and went away happily.In a while, an old man passed by and asked the man what he was doing there. The man replied, “What bad luck! Just a moment ago I gave a woman the few riches left over from the treasure I was guarding.”“Are you sure there‟s nothing else?” The old man asked him.The man showed him the cave, and they found a box filled with jewels and gold. The man was shocked. The old man explained to him, “At last! At last someone has freed himself from the spell(咒语) of this cave. You see, this is a magic cave, and you‟re the first to pass its great test. Many people have devoted their lives to this cave, only to end up realizing there‟s nothing here ...”“And why does this happen?” said the man. “Why does the trea sure appear and disappear?”“My son, this magic cave has as many riches as does your own heart. When someone discovers it, the cave fills with the treasure they bring with them, but later, when they all devote themselves to guarding the treasure, their hearts begin emptying, and so does the cave. The only way to fill it is to fill your heart with all that is good, as you did by giving that last jewel to the woman. That‟s the reason why the cave was filling up again ...”And so, the man understood it was better to share than to keep things to himself. And, from that day, thanks to the cave and the old man, the man became ever more noble (高尚的) and generous.32. The underlined word “concealed” in the first paragraph can be replaced by “_____”.A. builtB. coveredC. discoveredD. used33. After the man fell ill, he intended to ______.A. tell others about his storyB. take all the treasure homeC. give some of the treasure to other peopleD. return the treasure to the woman and the old man34. What happened to the man in the end?A. He became more generous.B. He became the richest man in the world.C. He became more careful about his health.D. He became more grateful to others for their help.35. What can we learn from this passage?A. Be a good listener.B. Don‟t be angry with others.C. We should learn to share.D. We ought to help each other.第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

扶沟高中2015-2016学年度（上）高二开学考试英语试题第一部分听力略第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AAre you a saver or a spender?"A penny saved is a penny earned." This old saying calls attention to the wisdom of saving money. "________________" is another way to talk about saving for the future.People who hate to spend money are known as "tightwads," while those who like to get the most value for their money are called "thrifty." A thrifty person is different from a "spendthrift." A spendthrift is someone who spends wastefully. People like that are often said to spend money "like a drunken sailor" or "like there's no tomorrow."In the United States, people who want to start a savings account have different choices of where to put their money. These include banks and credit unions. Credit unions are cooperatives for people who have some kind of connection. For example, the members might work for a university or a government agency. Most credit unions are nonprofit organizations.Credit unions, banks and other financial institutions pay interest on savings accounts. But the interest rates are low. Certificates of deposit（存款证） pay higher returns. With a certificate of deposit, or CD, a person agrees not to withdraw the money for a certain period of time. This term could be anywhere from a few months to several years. Longer terms, and larger amounts, pay higher interest. People can withdraw their money early but they have to pay a fine.In a number of countries, people have been saving less over the years. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development is a group of thirty-four countries. The OECD says in 1990, Americans had a household savings rate of seven percent. This year, that rate is expected to be a little more than four percent and many European countries have higher rates like the UK and France , but Americans save more than families in countries like Japan and South Korea.21．Which of the following proverbs can be filled in the blank in Paragraph 2?A．Health is wealth.B．Money is a good servant but a bad masterC．Put money away for a rainy day.D．Money doesn’t grow on trees.22．If you have $10,000, which of the following may help you get higher interest ?A．Choose certificates of deposit for one year.B．Put the money in banks for one year.C．Put the money in credit unions for one year.D．Choose certificates of deposit for one year but withdraw the money ahead of time. 23．What does the passage mainly talk about ?A．Different choices of putting money away in the US.B．The importance of saving money.C．How to put money into banks.D．The household savings rate in the US.BEverybody needs bloodHave you ever seen buses on the street for donating blood? Medical workers on board collect blood from volunteers. The blood is then stored up and given to people who have lost a large amount of it due to accidents or diseases.Blood is one of the most important substances (物质) supporting our lives. But for now, the only way we can get more of it is through donation. And donated blood has its own problems. First of all, certain blood types are extremely rare. Type O negative blood (O-), for example, only exists in 7 percent of people, according to Sunday Times. There are fewer don ors and therefore there isn’t enough of this type of blood for everybody who needs it. In addition, donated blood comes from various people, which means that it has to be examined carefully for disease such as hepatitis (肝炎) and HIV to make sure that it’s safe for transfusion.This is why scientists all over the world have been trying to make blood in labs. And now, someone finally succeeded—Marc Turner at the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service has produced blood fit for transfusion, reported Forbes.Unlike many other scientists, who have tried to make blood substitutes by mixing up different ingredients together, Turner chose to grow blood directly from human stem cells (干细胞). He developed a special technique to create a chemical environmentsimilar to that in our bone marrow (骨髓). This environment encourages stem cells to develop fully into red blood cell.According to Turner, his version of artificial blood is unlikely to contain disease viruses or produce side effects. And the best part is that what he managed to produce was type O- blood. Not only is it a rare blood type, it’s also a universal type, which means it can be transfused into any patient.The new blood is scheduled for human tests in 2016. However, Turner stressed that the new study should not be taken as a signal for people to stop donating blood because it could be another 20 years before the artificial blood can be manufactured on a large scale. “It is one thing to bake a cake and anothe r thing to bake a cake 100 times the size,” said Turner. “It’s not just a matter of putting in 100 times the ingredients.”24．According to the text, a potential danger of blood transfusion is that_____.A. it is impossible to store up large amounts of bloodB. blood transfusion may lead to some terrible infectionsC. it is very hard to find matches for certain blood typesD. blood transfusion often leads to serious side effects25．The study Marc Turner did is different from those of many other scientists in that _____.A. he grew artificial blood using human stem cellsB. he was able to discover the special function of type O- bloodC. he produced the first artificial blood in the worldD. he used special ingredients to produce artificial blood cells26．We can know from the text that__________.A. people with type O- blood can receive blood transfusion from anyoneB. the practice of blood transfusion will end in 20 yearsC. the new blood produced by Turner has been experimented on human beingsD. the artificial blood produced by Turner will be a safe and universal type27. Which of the following words best describes Turner’s attitude towards theapplication of his artificial blood?A. Pessimistic.B. Doubtful.C. Cautious.D. Uninterested.CAs we know, there are differences between western culture and Chinese culture.We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used. Let’s look at the words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example, “a homeless dog”, “a mad dog”, “a running dog”and “a dog catching a mouse”, have negative meanings. But in western countries, dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans. In English, people use the dog to describe positive actions. For example, “you are a lucky dog”means you are a lucky person. And “every dog has its day” means each person has good luck sometimes. To describe a person’s serious illness, they say “sick as a dog”. The word “dog-tired”means very tired. However, Chinese love cats very much. But in western culture, “cat” is often used to describe a woman who is cruel. There are many other examples of how “cat” is used differently as well.The rose is regarded as a symbol of love in both China and some western countries. People think the rose stands for love, peace, courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flower of England, America and many other countries.The words about plants and animals are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures. We can learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used.28. “Every dog has its day.” means “_______”.A. Everybody in the world is lucky.B. Each person lives his own way of life.C. If one works hard, he’s sure to succeed.D. Everybody has a time in life to be lucky.29 Western people usually use “cat” to refer to “_______”.A. a tired personB. a brave manC. a homeless personD. an unkind woman30. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Words show differences in culture.B. Chinese people prefer dogs to cats.C. Western people think cats to be good friends.D. Rose is the national flower of all western countries.31. What’s the best title for the passage？A. Negative and Positive wordsB. Different Countries Have Different CultureC. Rose Means the Same In Chinese and EnglishD. What Dog and Cat Mean in English and ChineseDA gentle breeze blew through Jenny’s hair. The golden red sun was setting.

河南省周口市扶沟县高级中学2014-2015学年高二上学期开学考试英语试题第I卷第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）ARead a lot, I mean a lot! You have to increase your ability for reading. Many students are in the habit of reading only when their exams are approaching while some others read only what they are taught or things that must be read because it is in their curriculum. But listen to me now, I am telling you from my own experience that it is a very bad habit and it is not enough to improve your intelligence.You have to learn and get ready to become versatile in your reading. The fact that you are studying medicine in school does not mean that you should not know one or two things on politics.Many people have complained to me that they find it hard to read stuffs like novels but I just shake my head in pity for them because it is obvious they have failed to realize the truth in that wise saying by Margaret Fuller that “today a READER, tomorrow a LEADER!”When you read, you get to “see” so many places and it will be as if you have visited those places in real life. This is because reading will improve your imagination and creativity and understanding. You also get experience from learning about how people dealt with their various problems thereby saving you from going through the pains and difficulties they must have gone through!Reading will also help you in improving your vocabulary because you will certainly start coming across so many new words which you will try as much as possible to get accustomed to with the help of the dictionary! The good thing about increasing your vocabulary is that it will also improve your thinking ability. After all, we think in words and the more words you know, the easier it will become for you to express yourself or your thoughts.And when you read, make sure you read so wide because the more you read, the more you know and the more you know the more intelligent you can become.21. According to the author, what should students do in terms of reading?A. They needn’ t read unless the exams come.B. They should read books about intelligence.C.

Cats don’t want something pushed down their throats, and they’ll fight with all their strength to prevent it. In fact, it’s amazing how powerful their small bodies can be.The easiest way of pilling a cat is to press the pill into powder. Then mix the powder with a small amount of wet food. If your cat usually eats dry food, she will probably view the wet food as a treat and eat it up.If your cat won’t eat the wet food that contains the pill or if she is too ill to eat, you can get a “pill gun”. There are some basic instructions. Getting your cat’s mouth to open is going to be the most difficult part. First, be sure the pill is in a handy place. Then you can put your cat on a bookshelf with her bottom in a corner or you can put her on your lap firmly tied. Have your cat facing to the right if you’re right-handed. With your left hand, hold your cat at the cheekbones, putting your palm (手掌) at the top of her head. Keeping your finger off the trigger (扳机), with your right hand, insert the pill gun until the pill is positioned over the tongue and open throat. Be sure to give your cat a treat directly after giving the pill.If you don’t feel comfortable using a pill gun, you can try giving the pill by hand. Push your cat’s head backwards just far enough so that her nose is pointing towards the ceiling. At this point, most cats will slightly open their mouths. Withthe little finger or ring finger of the hand holding the pill, open the bottom jaw a little more. You may need to hold her top jaw with your other hand while doing this. Aim straight and lightly throw the pill or drop it. Most cats will then swallow the pill.29. Pilling a cat can be a terrible experience because cats ______.A. are amazingly powerful and dangerousB. may fight with all their strength against pillsC. refuse something pressed down their throatsD. are difficult to treat once they’ve got ill30. Which of the following statements is true according to the second paragraph?A. Wet food with medicine is usually a treat to cats.B. Cats used to dry food must reject wet food.C. The easiest pilling is to press the pill into powder.D. Cats are most likely interested in something new.31. Using a “pill gun”, you had better hold your cat ______ if you’re left-handed.A. facing to the rightB. with your right handC. at the headD. on your lap firmly32. A cat probably opens its mouth naturally when ______.A. its nose is straight upwardsB. it is touched by fingersC. its head is turning aroundD. it is served with its favorite pillsDWhat will power your house in the future？Nuclear，wind，or solar power？According to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US，it might be leaves — but artificial (人造的) ones.Natural leaves are able to change sunlight and water into energy. It is known as photosynthesis (光合作用)．Now researchers have found a way to imitate this seemingly simple process.The artificial leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his colleagues at MIT can be seen as a special silicon chip with catalysts (催化剂)．Similar to natural leaves，it can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when put into a bucket of water. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are then stored in a fuel cell，which uses those two materials to produce electricity，located either on top of a house or beside the house.Though the leaf is only about the shape of a poker card，scientists claimed that it is promising to be an inexpensive source of electricity in developing countries. “One can imagine villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology,” said Nocera at a conference of the American Chemical Society.The artificial leaf is not a new idea. The first artificial leaf was invented in 1997 but was too expensive and unstable for practical use. The new leaf，by contrast，is made of cheap materials，easy to use and highly stable. In laboratory studies，Nocera showed that an artificial leaf prototype (原型) could operate continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity.The wonderful improvements come from Nocera's recent discovery of several powerful，new and inexpensive catalysts. These catalysts make the energy transformation inside the leaf more efficient with water and sunlight. Right now，the new leaf is about 10 times more efficient at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural one. Besides，the device can run in whatever water is available；that is，it doesn't need pure water. This is important for some countries that don't have access to pure water.With the goal to “make each home its own power station” and “give energy to the poor”，scientists believe that the new technology could be widely used in developing countries，especially in India and rural China.33. Which of the following orders correctly shows how the artificial leaf is used to produce electricity?a．artificial leaves split water into hydrogen and oxygenb．the hydrogen and oxygen gases are stored in a fuel cellc．the artificial leaves are put in waterd．the fuel cell uses hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricityA. c，a，b，d B．c，b，a，dC．b，c，a，d D．c，a，d，b34. The purpose of the scientists at MIT in developing the new artificial leaf is to________.A．build up more power stations in the worldB．provide cheaper energy for developing countriesC．offer people in developing countries access to pure waterD．gain a deeper understanding of the photosynthesis process35．The main idea of this passage is ________.A．an introduction to the history of artificial leavesB．a mixture of water power and solar energyC．giving energy to the poor D．an invention copying photosynthesis 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesn’t mean that we let them rule our lives forever.

The parents’ reactio n is then negative because they are now hated instead of being admired. Most parents can’t deal with this situation and it drives them crazy. Half of parents get tired and give up all the rules, while the other half become so strict that the kids begin to hate t hem.If parents want to help their teenager get through it they need to understand what is going on which nearly all parents DON’T . This ensures that both parties will fail each other and generally cause annoyance, stress and ill will!On the other hand, the teenager needs to understand the insec urity(不安) the parent feels as the teenager increasingly has a mind of his or her own. Sure, the kid has never done anything wrong an d when the parents make improper rules or start calling that tee nager certain qualities that he or she has never had, the teenag er’s natural reaction is to fight back. Luckily for parents, teenag ers’ first reaction is rarely to hurt their parents deeply. However, they will do other things, such as drinking, taking drugs, and ha ving poor performance in school as revenge (报复) for the words and actions of their parents. What neither side understands is that they are hurting themselves and each other and the only cause is lacking the ability to consider things calm ly for both sides. Therefore, keeping calm is the first step.What is the text mainly about?Why parents and teenagers fight.B. Why some kids behave badly in school.What makes teenagers think negatively?D. How parents should make rules on teenagers.The underlined word “it’ in Paragraph 1 refers to _____.A. parents’ failure to rule teenagersB. teenagers’ revengeC. teenagers’ disrespect to parentsD. parents’ insecurity7. Some teenagers hate their parents because ____.A. they want to become coolB. their material needs aren’t satisfiedC. they want to challenge their parentsD. they get too many rules from their parents8. About the relationship between parents and teenagers, what can we learn?A. There’s no good way to deal with their fighting.B. They should think more for both sides calmly.C. Teenagers should take more responsibility than parents.D. Teenagers are likely to admire their parents after 12 years ol d.CAs a kid，I felt my happiness would be based on whether I could fulfill all my needs and wants. If I was rich，I would definitely be content with my life.My father always stressed his belief in happiness. I can remem ber him lecturing me about how money does not make one hap py and how other things in life such as health，family，friends，and memorable experiences make a person genuinely happy. At that time in my life，I did not put any thought into his words as usual.At a young age，I noticed the media seemed to portray(描绘) the wealthy as happy people that add value to our society. At high school I still sought a career that would produce a high salary.After my second year of college，I started my first job in an accounting department，where I found myself extremely bored. Every day I had to do bo ring work. In addition，I had to live away from friends and family. I noticed having mon ey to spend when you are by yourself was not satisfying.I began to think back to what my dad always said. After two mo nths on the job，I truly realized that a more satisfying experience for me would h ave been doing an ordinary parttime job for far less money. No matter how high the salary of this position was，I would never be capable of fulfilling a happy life and making a career out of this job.As the summer drew to a close，I truly understood the meaning of my dad’s words. The term “w ealth” is a broad term，and I believe the key to happiness is to become wealthy in grea t memories，friends，family，and health.9．When the author was a kid，________.A．he suffered a lot from being poorB．it worried him whether he could live happilyC．he didn’t treat his father’s advice seriouslyD．his attitude to life was greatly influenced by his father 10．What do we know about the author and his first job? A． He decided to make it his lifelong career.B．He got the job with the help of his friends.C．He didn’t earn enough money to support himself.D．He got no happiness although it was well-paid. 11．Through his experience，the author wanted to tell us that________.A．young people should listen to their parentsB．money cannot always bring you real happinessC．one should be careful in choosing his first jobD．one can learn much by doing a parttime jobDA new study links heavy air pollution from coal burning to shorte r lives in northern . Researchers estimate that the half-billion people alive there in the 1990s will live an average of 5 y ears less than their southern counterparts (两方面地位职务相当的人) because they breathed dirtier air.itself made the comparison possible: for decades, a now-discontinued government policy provided free coal for heating, but only in the colder north. Researchers found significant differ ences in both particulate pollution of the air and life expectancy in the two regions.While previous studies have found that pollution affects hum an health, "the deeper and ultimately more important question is the effect on life expectancy," said one of the researchers, Mi chael Greenstone, a professor of environmental economics at Massachusetts Institute of 一Technology. "This study provides a unique setting to answer th e life expectancy question because the heating policy dramatic ally（极大地） changes pollution concentrations（含量），Greenstone said in an email. "Further, due to the low rates of m igration（移民） in China in this period, we can know people's exposure ov er long time periods," he said.The policy gave free coal for fuel boilers to heat homes and o ffices to cities north of the Huai River which divides into north a nd south. It was in effect for much of the 1950-1980 period of central planning, and, though discontinued after 1980, it has left a legacy（遗留） in the north of heavy coal burning, which releases particul ate pollutants into the air that can harm human health. Researc hers found no other government policies that treated 's north dif ferently from the south.The researchers collected data for 90 cities, from 1981 to 20 00, on the annual daily average concentration of total suspende d（悬浮的）particulates. In , those are considered to be particulates that are100 micrometers or less in diameter, sent out from sources incl uding power stations, construction sites and vehicles. Among th em, PM2.5 is of especially great health concern because it can go deep into the lungs.The researchers estimated the impact on life expectancies u sing death data from 1991-2000． They found that in the north, the concentration of partic ulates was 184 micrograms per cubic meter一or 55 percent higher than in the south, and life expectancies we re 5.5 years lower on average across all age ranges.12．The main idea of this passage is that _____.A. the government provided free coal for heating in North Chin aB. research in finds air pollution shortened life expectancyC. coal burning causes bad air quality acrossD. a new study finds different particulates in South China 13．According to Greenstone,_______ greatly contributed to the high pollution concentrations in North China.A. gases from vehiclesB. construction sitesC. the free heating policyD. power stations14．It is implied in the passage that _______.A. coal is no longer used for heating in North ChinaB. air quality was comparatively better in South ChinaC. southerners burned coals for heating in the 1980sD. people preferred to live in South China after 1980 15．The underlined word "particulates" most probably means _ ____＿．A. dirty cloudsB. particular smokeC. dangerous gasesD. harmful dust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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
