However, the only way for them to getthat honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper ---- a little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.25. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?A. It's small in size.B. It's hidden in trees.C. It's covered with wax.D. It's hard to recognize.26. What do the words "the follower" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. A bee.B. A bird.C. A honey seeker.D.

Although our "act" would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in "snow". Two more fans were turned on, and a "strong wind" blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.The next scene was a complete contrast(对比).The way it was filmed was quiteunusual. Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen. An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water's edge on an island. By a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being fill “Stars”!29. Who is the author?A. A cameraman.B. A film director.C. A crowd-scene actorD. A workman for scene setting30. What made the author feel cold?A. The heavy snowfall.B. The man-made scene.C. The low temperature.D. The film being shown.31. What would happen in the "three minutes" mentioned, in the last paragraph?A. A new scene would be filmed.B. More stars would act in the film.C. The author would leave the studio.D. The next scene would be prepared.DGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it. In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn. The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overleatning explains why crammingJ(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.32.What’the main idea of Paragraph 1?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.“D. Stories for children are easy to remember.33. The author explains the law of overlearning byA. presenting research findingsB. setting down general rulesC. making a comparisonD. using examples34. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables isA. a result of overlearningB. a special case of crammingC. a skill to deal with math problemsD. a basic step towards advanced studies35.What is the author's opinion on cramming?A. It leads to failure in college exams.B. It's helpful only in a limited way.C. It's possible to result in poor memory.D. It increases students' learning interest.EKids' health: Four steps for fighting stressEverybody gets stressed time to time. 36 Some ways of dealing with stress like screaming or hitting someone don't solve (解决) much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.Try taking these four steps. the next time you are stressed:(1) Get support.

高三月考英语试题卷I. 阅读理解(每小题3分,共45分。
)I卷AEach morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table, reading his book. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to copy him in every way he could.One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read the book just like you, but I don’t understand it, and I forget what I understand as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the book do?”The grandpa quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the ri ver and bring me back a basket of water.”The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandpa laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again.This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned. Out of breath, he told his grandpa that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, so he went to get a bucket instead.The grandpa said, “I don’t want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough.”The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandpa the basket was empty again. Out of breath, he said, “Grandpa, it’s useless!”“So, you think it is useless?” the grandpa said, “Look at the basket.”The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean.“Grandson, that’s what happens when you read the book. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you’ll be changed, inside and out.”21. What puzzled the grandson most was ________.A. whether it was useful to read booksB. why he forgot what he read soonC. what kind of book he could understandD. how he could read books like his grandpa22. Why did Grandpa ask his grandson to fetch a basket of water?A. To train him to run faster.B. To clean the dirty basket in the river.C. To punish him for not reading carefully.D. To get him to realize the use of reading books.23. What lesson can we learn from the story?A. The old are always wiser than the young.B. It is foolish to carry water with a basket.C. Reading books can change a person gradually.D. You can’t expect to remember whatever you read.BEating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe.Previous studies have linked high exposure to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风)within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物)were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.24.The text mainly discusses the relationship between .A.heart problems and air qualityB.heart problems and exercisingC.heart problems and smokingD.heart problems and fatty food25.The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probably means. A.relatively high B.extremely lowC.relatively low D.extremely high26. What can we learn from the text?A.Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.B.The EPA conducted many studies on air quality.C.Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking,D.Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made.27. The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to .A. informB. persuadeC. describeD. entertainCTake Action for a Better World: Volunteers NeededSix months’ preparation in Denmark: Africa studies, team work combined with social work with risk group teenagers.Six months’ community work in Malawi in People to People Projects: Child Aid, HIV/AIDS Fights and Teacher Training.Qualifications (条件):18 years, hard-working and social engagement.Please contact us by email: takeaction@Part-time Work with Exchange StudentsYOUTH International is a non-profit high school foreign exchange student organization.

He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.He reported the case to the police and then sat there,lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶)that had been left out on the footpath.My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents.

The names of these twin male giant panda cubs(幼崽) were announced at Atlanta Zoo last year. Lun Lun, a 15-year-old giant panda, gave birth to the cubs on July 15, 2013. Zoo officials followed Chinese custom and named the brothers after waiting 100 days. Until then, they were simply known as “Cub A” and “ Cub B”.Mei Lun and Mei Huan are the first twin panda cubs to survive in the Unite States. “We’re delighted to finally be able to place two youngsters with names. They have not only made a mark on the history of Atlanta Zoo, but also have made history in the US,”Raymond B. King , the zoo’s president and CEO, said in a statement.Atlanta Zoo teamed up with Good Morning America that month to put the pandas’ names to a public vote. China’s Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding provided the choices of names. In just 13 days, 51,000 votes poured in on the show’s website.Under a deal between China and t he US, giant pandas originally from China are only lent to foreign zoos for scientific study for several years. Zookeepers at Atlanta Zoo are giving regular updates on the twins’ progress in an online blog. Mei Lun and Mei Huan are the fourth and fifth offspring(子女) of Lun Lun and a male giant panda named Yang Yang.The pandas made their first public appearance in a US exhibit last fall. For the three months before their appearance, the online world had watched the twins grow strong and healthy. “We share this joy with our colleagues(同事) in China and with the cub’s fans around the world,”King said.25.

But he’s also a lifelong farmer. He is familiar with the saying that each farmer can expect to have 40 opportunities to improve their harvest. And it’s not just farmers who know there’s a clock running on their efforts. “We all need to recognize that we only have a fixed amount of time to affect change,” said Howard G. Buffett(HGB)HGB wants to invest more than $3 billion, in an effort to end global hunger and poverty for the world’s nearly one billion poor people by 2045. He’s decided to focus much of his effort on farming in the developing world. He believes that the best way to deal with poverty is to change the lives of farmers in the poorest nations on the planet. “It’s a pretty well proven fact that nothing works better at bringing people out of poverty than investment in rural areas,” said HGB.Healthy soils are a most important part of productive farmers, but 1.5 billion people — a fifth of the global population — live on poor land. ”You have to fix the soil,”he said. HGB also has the idea that farmers who own their own land will raise crops with an eye to the long-term health of the soil.He would like to see that balanced with a foreign-aid plan. HGB notes that too often, experts want to make agriculture in developing nations look like farming in rich countries.” It’s not going to happen like that,”said HGB. “You need to consider local differences, local culture.”Many more ideas of HGB can be found in his new book, Forty Chances: Finding Hope in a Hungry World.29. From the second paragraph, we can learn that HGB’s main purpose is_______.A. to invest lots of money in farmingB. to end hunger and povertyC. to change farming in the worldD. to help the poorest nations in the world.30. What’s the population of the whole world?A. 1.5 billionB. One fifth billionC. 6 billionD. 7.5 billion31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The farming methods in rich countries suit developing countries.B. HGB thinks agriculture of the west is not good at all.C. All the farming methods don’t suit developing countries.D. HGB gains his ideas from the book Forty Chances.32. What can be the best title for the passage?A. HGB invests to end hungerB. A great farmer, HGB.C. HGB, one son of Warr en BuffetD. HGB invests in the developing countries.DClimate change will increase U.S wildfires, and the smoky air will cause terrible problems in areas far beyond those burned, reports an environmental group Thursday.Two-thirds of Americans, or nearly 212 million, lived in states suffering from wildfire smoke three years ago, according to the report by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). These areas, which had smoke for at least a week, were nearly 50 times greater than those burned directly by fire.“It affects a much wider area of the United States than people have realized, ”says author Kim Knowlton, a Columbia University health professor, adding the smoke can move up to hundreds of miles. She says the smoke contains air pollution and can cause several kinds of disease.Texas was hit hardest in 2011, when smoke stayed for at least a week in areas that are home to 25 million people, according to NRDC’s report. Illinois, which recorded no wildfires within its borders( 边界) ,ranked (排名 ) second with nearly 12 million people affected by smoke that moved in from elsewhere. The other eight states with the most people exposed (接触 ) to smoky air were, in descending ( 下降的) order: Florida, Missouri, Georgia, Louisiana, Michigan, Alabama, Oklahoma and Iowa.Nearly two dozen states had no wildfires within their borders in 2011, but eight of them still had at least one week of smoky air: Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio.Only 18 states and the District of Columbia had no people exposed to at least a week of smoke that year, although five of them----Alaska, California, Hawaii, Nevada and Utah---had a large area burned by wildfires.The problem will only get worse, Knowlton say. Scientific research shows climate is causing higher temperatures and health probl ems.33. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that .A. most Americans suffered from climate change.B. the states burned by wildfires had more serious problems.C. most Americans suffered from wildfire smoke in 2011.D. Every state had wildfire smoke for at least a week.34. Which of the following states had wildfires within its borders?A. TexasB. Kansas.C. OhioD. California.35. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Climate change causes more wildfires.B. More wildfires cause climate change.C. Wildfire smoke becomes a serious health problem.D. Air pollution becomes a terrible problem.7选5从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AOnce I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. So, I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money to pay the high schooling for me. They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books or see on TV, and sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even impossib le.One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I asked her if there was love between them. She paused her work and raised her head with surprise. Then she bowed her head and continued sewing the quilt. I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her. After a few minutes she said,“Look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of the time it disappears in the quilt. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there and makes the quilt long-lasting.” I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next spring.My mother suddenly got sick seriously and had to stay in the hospital for a one-month treatment. Every morning and dusk after she returned from the hospital, my father helped my mother walk slowly on the country road. There were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees, and the sun gently glistened on them through the leaves. All of these made up the most beautiful picture in the world. Reading their eyes, I know they love each other deeply. From this experience, I realized that love was just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.21. The writer thought his parents’ life was not _______ at first.A. trueB. greatC. meaningfulD. romantic22. Valentine’s Day is a day for ________.A. parentsB. friendsC. relativesD. lovers23. What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph suggest?A. There is beautiful scenery everywhere in the world.B. There is true life anywhere in the world.C. There is no love without beautiful flowers.D. There is true love between the writer’s parents.24. Which is the best title of this passage?A. Love doesn’t exist every day.B. Love means flowers.C. Love can never be seen.D. Love is the thread of a quilt.BThree people have been arrested for trying to sell Coca Cola’s secrets to Pepsi, according to the US Department of Justice.Two men of Georgia and one man of New York have joined in the trick to sell the Coca Cola’s secrets to it’sopponent Pepsi for $1.5 million. In May, Pepsi told Coca Cola that it had received a letter from a person calling himself “Dirk” offering very detailed and secret information about Coca Cola’s products for a fee, according to the DOJ press release.The FBI got the secret men to look into the case. Ibrahim Dimson of New York and Edmund Duhaney and Joya Williams of Georgia were arrested in Atlanta on Wednesday without incident, and charged with unlawfully stealing and selling trade secrets. Williams was a Coca Cola employee.“Sadly, today’s arrests include a person within our company,” said Coca Cola CEO Neville Isdell in an email to employees. “While this failure of trust is difficult for all of us to accept, it stresses the responsibility we each have to watch out in protecting our trade secrets. Information is the lifeblood (生命线) of the company,”Isdell continued. “As the health of our enterprise (事业) continues to strengthen, our ideas and our competitive data carry increasing interest to those outside our business.”A Pepsi spokesman said that the company was pleased to be of help in the investigation (调查). “We did what any responsible company would do,”said the spokesman. “Competition can be fierce, but it must also be fair and legal.”25. The name “Dirk” used by the man who sent Pepsi a letter is _______.A. trueB. falseC. a pen nameD. famous26. What does the underlined part “a person” refer to?A. Ibrahim Dimson.B. Edmund Duhaney.C. Joya Williams.D. Neville Isdell.27. What is the lesson of three men’s trying to sell Coca Cola’s secrets?A. The Coca Cola company should strengthen the responsibility to protect trade secrets.B. The Coca Cola company shouldn’t employ any new employees.C. The Coca Cola company should fire some employees.D. The Coca Cola company should give the employees a rise.28. According to the passage, we can see the relationship between Pepsi and Coca Cola is _______.A. terribleB. not so goodC. friendlyD. uncertainCPeople used to say “The hand that rocks the cradle (摇篮) rules the world”and “Behind every successful man there’s a woman.”Both of these sayings mean the same thing. Men rule the world, but their wives rule them. Most of the American women like making their husbands and sons successful, but some of them want more for themselves. They want good jobs. When they work, they want to be better paid. They want to be as successful as men.The American women’s liberation movement was started by women who don’t want to stand behind successful men. They want to stand beside men with the same chance for success. They don’t want to be told that certain jobs or offices are closed to them. They refuse to work side by side with men who do the same work for a higher pay.A liberated woman must be proud of being a woman and believe in herself. If somebody says to her, “You’ve come a long way, baby.”, she’ll smile and answer, “Not nearly as far as I’m going to go, baby!”The women’s liberation movement is quite new, and many American women do not agree. But it has already made some importa nt changes in women’s life and in men’s life, too.29. The underlined sentence “Behind every successful man there’s a woman.” here means that _______.A. the world is now ruled over by womenB. women play an important role in men’s life and workC. a man c an’t succeed without a woman in his officeD. a woman used to rule her husband30. Some American women wish to _________.A. have the same chance for success as menB. get better jobs than the men working togetherC. earn more money than their husbandsD. devote more to their work than to their families31. A liberated woman must _________.A. take pride in her husband’s successB. be fond of and devote herself to her childrenC. be proud of being a woman and trust herselfD. stand before or beside her husband32. What is the main idea of the passage?A. American women’s liberation movement.B. A woman behind a successful man.C. Women want to support their husbands.D. Women don’t want to support their husbands.DFor many creatures, the danger of global warming is more than too much heat. You can get temperature-related effects that may not be what you expect. Slight environmental change can affect physiological needs and weaken the ability of animals to keep a large enough population for them to live on even when the temperature rise is too mild to kill any creatures.Biologists usually don’t know enough about an animal to assess (评估) the risk. Their knowledge comes largely from laboratory research on bits and pieces of a creature’s physiology. This method doesn’t tell how an animal as a living whole responds to climate change where itlives.Now, 10 years of research that joined laboratory study with field work has explained the decrease in the population of eelpouts, a kind of fish in the southern part of the North Sea. Drs Portner and Knust have shown that a mild rise in water temperature can reduce the water’s ability to hold oxygen, and, at the same time, it increases the fish’s need for more oxygen to keep active; otherwise, they will be killed or have to move away.The researchers discovered that, over the past five decades, eelpout populations decreased when summer temperatures rose. They also found that warmer summers reduced eelpout population the following years.Danish scientists noted that “it remains difficult to determine that increased temperature is the cause for the eelpout population decrease.” Yet they accepted the connection between temperature and population size as recorded in t he field with the effect of temperature on the fish’s oxygen needs as recorded in the laboratory. They found this connection between laboratory and field data to be “persuasive”.33. It is implied in Paragraph 2 that biologists’ research in labs is _______.A. uselessB. unscientificC. incompleteD. unimportant34. When it is hot enough, eelpouts will either die or ________.A. try to take less oxygenB. swim to colder placesC. eat less and rest moreD. go down to sea bottom35. The eelpout population began to decrease ________ years ago.A. 20B. 30C. 40D. 50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。

When I observed the snowflakes falling onto my car, I really began to wonder if I was going to make it on time. Of course I must, because I have no option.About two weeks ago, what my daughter Ellen had talked about was he Christmas concert to be held in her school and some rumors about it. “Mom, Rachel was supposed to sing alone, but guess what happened? She’s not! Linda will replace her to do it.” “Mom, I get to stand next to Tyler in the whole concert!” “Mom,you won’t believe it, but I Lexie’s whole family is coming to the concert, even from another state!” Making a long way out of state to see third graders sing Christmas carols seemed to be a pretty big deal for her.When I sat in traffic, I thought about all the school events I had attended alone. Elllen never mentioned it, but I wondered how she felt about me being the only one whoever came to her events. My own family lived out of town, and her father and his family never quite managed to fit those things into their schedules. I wondered if it bothered her.At eight o’clock the concert was scheduled to begin. With only a few minutes to spare, I found myself running: first, through the snow-drifted parking lot, then through the school passage. I entered the crowded hall and found a vacant seat near the front. From her place onstage, Ellen saw me run for the chair, and she smiled. I was close enough to hear the loud conversation of the children onstage.“Look, Ellen, there is my uncle and my cousin. They came all the way from West Virginia. I can’t believe my whole family is here!” Ellen smiled at Lexie and said, “My whole family is here, too! Look, there she is!” Ellen gave me a big smile. I saved back at her,never once noticing the melting snow dripping off my head. It suddenly occurred to me that while we tried to teach our children all about life, they actually taught us what life was all about.24. What’s the author’s anxiety according to Paragraph 3?A. Ellen’s disappointment without more family members comingB. Ellen’s bad performance at the Christmas concertC. Her missing the Christmas concertD. Her forgetting to tell her family about the Christmas concert25. What can we know from the passage?A. Ellen didn’t get along we ll with her familyB .Ellen’s attitude towards the concert was defensiveC. Ellen’s classmates fooled herD. Ellen’s mother put emphasis on her school events26. What can we infer about the author from last two paragraphs?A. She came to the concert from another stateB .She regretted not accompanying her daughterC. She was nearly late for the Christmas concertD. She failed to understand her daughter’s words27. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Understanding Is EverythingB. My Whole Family Is HereC. Speak out Your Love in TimeD. Conflict Ends up With a SmileAs sea levels climb, even Washington, D. C. could see more frequent and widespread flooding at high tide.Strong storms and high winds sometimes bring floods to coastal areas. But cities and towns along the US East Coast are flooding even in calm and sunny weather. Among them is Maryland’s capital Annapolis. Tourists there must sometimes walk through water flooding downtown streets surrounding the habor. Sometimes water covers roads in Atlantic City, N. J. Even the yards and basements of coastal homes near New York City sometimes flood. All are suffering from this trend-----normal high tides surpass(超过) a rising sea levelSea levels have climbed, on average, about 20 centimeters(8 inches) over the past 135 years. And a sharp increase in tide flooding is one of the more visible impacts affecting many coastal areas, notes William Sweet, an oceanographer.Sweet and his co-workers recently analyzed data from 45tide gauges(计量表) along the US coasts. These tools record the changing heights of tides as they rise and fall. From these data, Sweet’s team calculated the number of “ troublesome floods” in various coastal cities. These floods, Sweet explains, typically occur when water level is about 30 centimeters(1 foot) above the historic level of the highest tides. In June 20XX年, the team reported finding a growing rise in these flooding events.In Charleston, S. C, from 1957 to 1963, the city experienced troublesome floods an average of 4.6 days per year. Bur from 20XX年to 20XX年, the occurring rate of troublesome floods jumped five times. Annapolis city was even more serious. From 1957 to 1963, troublesome floods were roughly 3.8 days per year. From 20XX年to 20XX年, the average was 10 times higher---39.3 days a year.“Over the next few decades, climate change probably drives sea levels even higher,” Sweet says. “So today’s flooding problems promise to become only mor e widespread and frequent.”28. What is Paragraph 2 mainly developed by?A. Using examples.B. Analyzing causes.C. Making comparisons.D. Following time order.29. Why are more flooding problems caused?A. Because the river levels have been climbing.B. Because climate has changed over the years.C. Because the weather conditions are not stable.D. Because people are living too close to harbors.30. What can it be inferred according to data in Paragraph 5?A. There has been a growing rise in these analyzed flooding evevts.B. The changes of heights of tides are usually in a small range.C. The floods in coastal cities often occur when water level is above 1 foot.D. The number of troublesome floods gradually gets less.31. What is the text mainly about?A. Sweet’s teamB. A flood research.C. The US East Coast.D. American oceanographers.Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take friendship for granted , we often don't clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few. For example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree ofcloseness between them and the reasons for their shared interests vary greatly. As we get to know people we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common- they often talk about rely on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinion.In contrast with the marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race?32. How does the author understand “friends” in this passage?A. Every student has 6 friends.B. Everyone understands clearly how to make friends.C. All the people who get on well with each other are friends.D. Friends are closer than those just getting on well with each other.33. What should we avoid when making friends?A. Good economic condition.B. Argument and discussion.C. The same race, hobby and nationality.D. A marked difference in age and background.34. What do the underlined words “being on the wavelength” mean in Paragraph 2?A. Having the same background.B. Using the same frequency while talking.C. Having similar ideas, beliefs, attitudes and interests.D. Keeping the same friendly relationship as other people do.35. How do people strengthen friendly relationship according to the passage?A. To hold friendship ceremonies.B. To completely get rid of differences in background.C. To make friends with those who are of the same age and of the same race.D. To support and understand each other by sharing experiences and emotions.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。

However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people andanimals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper ---- a little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.25. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?A. It's small in size.B. It's hidden in trees.C. It's covered with wax.D. It's hard to recognize.26. What do the words "the follower" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. A bee.B. A bird.C. A honey seeker.D.

Wild BeesB. Wax and HoneyC. Beekeeping in AfricaD. Honey-Lover's HelperCAbout twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio(影棚)to take part in a crowd-scene. Although our "act" would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in "snow". Two more fans were turned on, and a "strong wind" blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.The next scene was a complete contrast(对比).The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen. An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at thewater's edge on an island. By a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being fill “Stars”!29. Who is the author?A. A cameraman.B. A film director.C. A crowd-scene actorD. A workman for scene setting30. What made the author feel cold?A. The heavy snowfall.B. The man-made scene.C. The low temperature.D. The film being shown.31. What would happen in the "three minutes" mentioned, in the last paragraph?A. A new scene would be filmed.B. More stars would act in the film.C. The author would leave the studio.D. The next scene would be prepared.DGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it. In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn. The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overleatning explains why crammingJ(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.32.What’the main idea of Paragraph 1?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.“D. Stories for children are easy to remember.33. The author explains the law of overlearning byA. presenting research findingsB. setting down general rulesC. making a comparisonD. using examples34. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables isA. a result of overlearningB. a special case of crammingC. a skill to deal with math problemsD. a basic step towards advanced studies35.What is the author's opinion on cramming?A. It leads to failure in college exams.B. It's helpful only in a limited way.C. It's possible to result in poor memory.D. It increases students' learning interest.EKids' health: Four steps for fighting stressEverybody gets stressed time to time. 36 Some ways of dealing with stress like screaming or hitting someone don't solve (解决) much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.Try taking these four steps. the next time you are stressed:(1) Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to “trusted adult, such as“parent or other relatives.37 They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.(2) Don't take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh, dear, that's not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Don't take it out on yourself. 38(3) Try to solve the problem. After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends, it's time to get down to business. 39 Even if you can't solve it all,you can solve a piece of it.(4) Be positive. Most stress is temporary(暂时的). Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it. These steps aren't magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you'll help yourself feel better even faster. 40A. Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.B. Notice your friends' feelings and find a way to help them.C. Different people feel stress in different waysD. Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone.E. You need to figure out what the problem is.F. And don't forget about your friends.G. Then, find a way to calm down。

河南省洛阳八中2016届高三英语上学期第一次月考试题I. 阅读理解(每小题3分,共45分。
)I卷AEach morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table, reading his book. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to copy him in every way he could.One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read the book just like you, but I don’t understand it, and I forget what I understand as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the book do?”The grandpa quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal baske t down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandpa laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again.This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned. Out of breath, he told his grandpa that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, so he went to get a bucket instead.The grandpa said, “I don’t want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough.”The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandpa the basket was empty again. Out of breath, he said, “Grandpa, it’s useless!”“So, you think it is useless?” the grandpa said, “Look at the basket.”The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean.“Grandson, that’s what happens when you read the book. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you’ll be changed, inside and out.”21. What puzzled the grandson most was ________.A. whether it was useful to read booksB. why he forgot what he read soonC. what kind of book he could understandD. how he could read books like his grandpa22. Why did Grandpa ask his grandson to fetch a basket of water?A. To train him to run faster.B. To clean the dirty basket in the river.C. To punish him for not reading carefully.D. To get him to realize the use of reading books.23. What lesson can we learn from the story?A. The old are always wiser than the young.B. It is foolish to carry water with a basket.C. Reading books can change a person gradually.D. You can’t expect to remember whatever you read.BEating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe.Previous studies have linked high exposure to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风)within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物)were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers becauseeveryone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.24.The text mainly discusses the relationship between .A.heart problems and air qualityB.heart problems and exercisingC.heart problems and smokingD.heart problems and fatty food25.The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probably means.A.relatively high B.extremely lowC.relatively low D.extremely high26.

B.To do some housework.C.To offer advice on Child Aid. D.To provide language exercises.DGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of timewe will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood. The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development32. What is the main idea of paragraph 1?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.D. Stories for children are easy to remember.33. The author explains the law of overlearning by_________.A. presenting research findingsB. setting down general rulesC. making a comparisonD. using examples34.According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is___ ____.A. a result of overlearningB. a special case of crammingC. a skill to deal with math problemsD. a basic step towards advanced studies35. What is the author's opinion on cramming?A. It leads to failure in college exams.B. It's helpful only in a limited way.C. It's possible to result in poor memory.D. It increases students' learning interest.II.七选五(每小题3分,共15分。
