阜蒙县第二高中2017~2018学年度第二学期高一期中考试英语试卷时间：100分钟分数：120分第一部分：阅读理解（共两节；第一节：共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）AOn the first day of my new high school, I almost had a nervous breakdown. Everything about the school seemed so difficult. When I got home, my parents said, “You're nervous and that's okay. Everyone is afraid of high school.” I denied it. I wanted to be strong, so I refused to let anyone know about my fear, even my closest friends.On the first day I was late for every class and was constantly lost. The school seemed like a puzzle(迷宫) that I couldn't figure out. Was this how the whole year was going to be?I didn't think I could rise to this challenge, especially carrying a huge backpack that I could hardly lift. It was so big that I could knock someone out with it! The schoolmates seemed to regard me as a fool, and they were probably right.Despite my fears, after the first week I finally had my schedule figured out. With the exception of falling up and down the stairs a couple of times and getting laughed at, high school was turning out to be not so bad. It was actually much better than middle school and much more challenging.Since then, I've been elected vice monitor of my class, which wasn't much of a victory since only three people ran for the four positions.It is normal to be scared about a new school. Take a deep breath and relax. High school is something that any student can overcome. Make sure you participate in some outofclass activities because you'll find it easier to make friends. Try to do your best, even if it isn't straight A's.Most important of all, be who you are, whether you're a “fool”， an athlete, or a lower grader. Don't try to pretend to be someone you're not. Now you know the true secrets of high school.1. The main reason for the author's fear on his first day is that ________.A．he was not familiar with the new surroundingsB．his schoolmates were unfriendly to himC．he was unable to work out the puzzleD．his schoolbag was too heavy for him to carry2. From the author's first day experience we can infer that ________.A．he didn't know the right way to classB．he got to school before classes beganC．he was fond of the school immediately.D．his home was far from the school3. After his first week at school, the author ________.A．was still not accustomed to the scheduleB．gradually adjusted himself to the new schoolC．found high school not so challenging as he had imaginedD．ran for monitor of his class against three other students4. According to the passage, the secret of the author's success lies mainly in________.A．making more friends B．getting more A's at schoolC．being who he really is D．joining in out of class activitiesBEvery day we go to school and listen to teachers, and the teacher will ask us some questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends --- you are in a situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease in ordinary conversation but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.5. When you speak to the class, you should speak __________.A．as loudly as possible B．loudly C．in a lowvoice D．forcefully6. The situation in the class is _________ that in your house.A．not very different from B．not the same asC．the same as D．sometimes the same as7. The main idea of this passage is __________.A．that we should talk in different ways in different situationsB．that we must speak loudlyC．that we must keep silent at any time D．that we must talk with the classCLong bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. "Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.”Drink Good Wet Root Beer.”Fill up with Pacific Gas.”Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of "You Need It! Buy It Now!"The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless （鲁莽的） or daring, the ride can be as thrilling （惊心动魄的） as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap,with your hands on the armrests even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at no more ways to sit.8. According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?A. Advertisements on the billboards.B. Films on television.C. Buses on the road.D. Gas stations.9. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To give the writer’s opinion about long bus trips.B. To persuade you to take a long bus trip.C. To explain how bus trips and television shows differ.D. To describe the billboards along the road.10. The writer of this passage would probably favor .A. bus drivers who aren’t recklessB. driving aloneC. a television set on the busD. no billboards along the road11. The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because .A. the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are funB. they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in betweenC. the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on busesD. both traveling and watching TV are not exciting.12. The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are.A. comfortableB. excitingC. tiringD. boringDTokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at the same time.In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to go. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast, but in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different from London, Paris and New York in that, it is different when one wants to walk.At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London's Oxford Street. But the streets near the Ginze in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them. The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is when the night-clubs are closing and every-body wants to go home. There are 35,000 night-clubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty(空的).During the day, most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on time.In Tokyo, I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire-engines raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now.13. Tokyo is different from London in that ______.A. it has a larger populationB. there are more traffic jamsC. night clubs are sometimes emptyD. it is more difficult to go somewhere on foot14. Fires break out___________ in Tokyo according to the writer.A. not very oftenB. only several times a dayC. quite oftenD. very seldom15. Japanese trains ______A. often leave and arrive on timeB. are often crowdedC. are the main means people use to travel to and from workD. all of the above第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Everyone wants to achieve happiness and smile．16 How can you find real happiness and smile? By getting rich? In case you are scratching your head，looking for some reasons or ideas to be happy, here are a few．Throw an impromptu(即兴的) party. 17 An impromptu one increases the joy to a new level. And of course making other people happy is bound to have the same effect on you.Treat yourself. Sometimes all it takes to make one happy is a little ind ulgence(放纵). So, go ahead and grab a cup of coffee and sit inside a blanket with a good book! You will be surprised at how happy it makes you．18 Happiness can be transformed! When we feel happy and excited, it can lift the spirits of others. Your simple gesture can transform a person’s day and get him or her prepared to take on any challenge.Have a conversation with a parent. If you are like most kids, you possibly spend more time texting or surfing the Internet than talking to your family. 19 You will be surprised at the feeling of joy that it brings to you.Finally, don’t forget to be happy every day! While International Day of Happiness may come about only once a year, happiness is around you all day and night. 20A. You just have to seek it out and grab it．B. But life is hard，so it is very difficult to find real happiness and smile．C. Most of your family members show no interest in texting or the Internet．D. Set aside your mobile phone for a few minutes and have a chat with a family member.E. Be friendly to others and smile at a stranger．F. Nothing makes people happier than being invited to a party.G. You should try to celebrate the Day of Happiness every day and everywhere．第二部分英语知识运用第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）“Mum, can I invite my classmate Brett over to stay tomorrow night, please?

Aside from the earth,just about every surface in the solar system is unsafe for humans to explore. The air on most otherplanets is insufficient fortunate for humans to explore. The air on most other planets is insufficient for humans to breathe, making it necessary to wear a space suit and oxygen equipment.The temperatures on these surfaces are much too hot or much too cold for any humans to withstand.Plus there would be complications with radiation, weather, and a lack of gravity. Robots have muchless limitation in these areas and can survive much longer under these conditions.Robots are designed for collecting scientific data. Robots are also able to perform many tasksat one time and can process information much quicker and more efficiently. Important scientificprojects from detecting minerals, analyzing ground samples, to finding water are all performed muchquicker and accurately by robots.The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would costfor humans to do the work. In order to successfully send humans into space we would need to build a vehicle that can not only carry humans, but also enough food and water to keep them alive for the duration of the trip. Moreover, robots have no problems working for hours on end. Robots never complain, they don’t require food or water, and they never need a bathroom break.Over the past 30 years or so there have been many different types of robots used successfully in the exploration of space. Perhaps the most famous and successful robots are Spirit and Opportunity who have both been exploring the surface of Mars. They have both been very successful with experiments on soil and rocks and have even found evidence of water in Mars’ history.4. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The Development of RobotsB. The Discovery of Space ExplorationC. No Robots, No Space ExplorationD. Robots Are Used in Space Exploration5. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. The use of robots in space exploration costs more than the use of humans.B. It is dangerous for humans to explore other surfaces in the solar system except the earth.C. Both Spirit and Opportunity have found the evidence of water on Mars.D. Many different types of robots have explored the space successfully.6. The underlined word “withstand” in paragraph 2 most probably means “______”A. remainB. bearC. defeatD. developCA company h as just launched what it calls “the world’s first free standardized English test” recently. Anyone can take the test for free. The new exam is called the EFSET, which is short for Education First Standardized English Test. The company, Education First, is known by the letters EF.It is estimated that there are two billion English language learners worldwide. Many of them are interested in attending an American college or university. To do so, foreign students need to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language — better known as TOEFL. However, many foreigners are not wealthy enough to take the TOEFL. In addition, test-takers often have to travel overnight to reach an official testing site. The World Bank says an average Cambodian worker earns only about $1,000 per year. Approximately the cost of taking the TOEFL is 17.5 percent of the average worker’s yearly wage.It is not just individuals who find the test pricey. Some governments also find it prohibitive.What’s more, not everyone needs official r esults from the TOEFL or IELTS — the InternationalEnglish Language Testing System. In the future, it’s likely that the government may use the EFSETto test millions of employees and students.Experts believe that the EFSET meets the highest value in language testing. It uses special computer software that makes the questions easier or harder, depending on one’s performance. TheEFSET measures all the English learners’ levels while the IELTS and TOEFL only measure learners’levels from moderate (中等的) to advanced. The EFSET is unique in the sense that it gives free onlineaccess to anyone interested in measuring their English level.There is a 50-minute and a two-hour version of the test, which its developers are calling theEFSET Plus. Both versions tes t only reading and listening skills. It’s hopeful that speaking andwriting skills will be tested in the future. The IELTS and the TOEFL still use humans to rate the speaking and writing sections. It’s a huge deal for students who are in areas where they can’tget to the TOEFL or the IELTS. However, it is too early to know whether the EFSET results are acceptable for colleges and universities in America.7. Why do many foreign students take the TOEFL?A. To learn English well.B. To be admitted to key universities.C. To receive further education in America.D. To find good jobs and earn much money.8. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. Only wealthy people can take the TOEFL.B. The cost of taking the TOEFL is very high.C. There are many official testing sites for the TOEFL around the world.D. Few of the students in Cambodia can afford to take the TOEFL.9. What can we learn about the EFSET?A. It is similar to the TOEFL and the IELTS.B. Everybody with different English levels can take it for free.C. It tests the skills of reading, listening, writing and speaking.D. American universities accept the EFSET results for admission.10. What’s the best title fo r the passage?A. How to get ready for the EFSETB. Different ways to test English learners in the worldC. The new software developed by Education FirstD. The free EFSET— an online test for English learnersDMany of us are quick to blame others for how we feel: “He makes me so mad!” or “She really hurt my feelings.” But did someone really “make me angry” or are we feeling the anger in us getting kicked up in response to the way someone behaved towards us?If we blame others for our feelings we will eventually feel reasonable at whatever our retaliation （报复）may be, and we will explain that it was their fault, not ours.“They were driving me mad”. When we blame others for the way we feel we have in fact given power to others for the state of our emotional wellbeing（健康）. The truth is, no one controls our feelings but us. If we are finding that people in our lives really know how to “push our buttons” then we are not doing a good enough job at protecting our “buttons.” We are the ones leaving our buttons out in the open so that other people can “push them.” Ultimately, the switch for our buttons is inside us –not on the outside. While there are some things in life that are clearly out of our control, like the weather or a flight that’s two hours late, how we act and respond to other people’s behavior is not among them. Our responses to others are well within our control.If someone is “making us” so mad, for example, that we get angry, we are not doing enough to learn about what drives our anger and how to properly cope with it. my suggestion is taking time before you get angry, and putting some work into taking an inventory（清单）of the past. An inventory can show you how much of your past experiences influence your feeling reactions in the current moment.When we finally realize that so much of our present feelings and reactions are driven from within ourselves and our own past experiences, we will be ready to make the changes in our lives that will better secure our buttons so that they are no longer left out in public for everyone to push at will.11. What result will appear if we blame others for our emotions?A. We consider others to be correct.B. We consider ourselves to be correct.C. We consider we were driving ourselves mad.D. We consider they were driving themselves mad.12. What’s the author’s attitude towards feelings?A. We should blame others for the way we feel.B. We should enable others to control our feelings.C. We should let others know our daily life clearly.D. We should control personal feelings ourselves.13. According to the author, which can always be under our control?A. The weather conditions.B. The delay of a flight.C. Other people’s feelings.D. Our own behavior.14. Which proverb best suits the author’s advice in Paragraph 5?A. A burden of one’s choice is not felt.B. A friend is easier lost than found.C. Think twice before acting.D. A good beginning is half done.15. What does the underlined phrase “push our buttons” probably mean inParagraph 3?A. Force us to do a good job.B. Make us angry.C. Take off our buttons.D. Let us down.第二部分：七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）How to Love Your ParentsEven if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life．You love them for the fact that they created you, raised you, and are in part, a source of who you are．___16___Tell them you love them every morning．A gentle "good morning" and "I love you" will warm a coldest heart.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Plastics are materials which are softened by heat and set into lasting from when shaped in a mold. Some are natural; some are semi-synthetic, the result of chemical action on a natural substance; some are synthetic, built up from the constituents of oil or coal. All are based on the chemistry of carbon, with its capacity for forming chains. The molecules that compose them (monomers) link together in the setting or curing (固化) process to form chains (polymers), which give plastics their flexible strength. Some plastics retain their ability to be softened and reshaped; like wax, they are thermoplastic. Others set permanently in the shapes they are given by heat and pressure; like eggs, they are thermosetting.From industrial beginnings in the nineteenth century, plastics have struggled through a hundred and twenty years of glory, failure, disrepute (坏名声) and suspicion on the slow road to public acceptance. Now, at last, one can positively say that plastics are appreciated and enjoyed for what they are; that they make modern life richer, more comfortable and convenient and also more funny. Plastics are warm materials, sympathetic to the human touch, and their transformation into things that come into contact with human beings is entirely appropriate.The fact that there plastic antiques comes as a shock to most people. How can a material that seems so essential in the twentieth century, and one that is so much associated with cheap disposable products, have a history at all? It is a young technology, and a great part of the fun of collecting plastics is that beautiful pieces of historical interest can still found very cheaply.1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A) The development of Plastics as a Modern MaterialB) How Plastics Are MaterialC) The Importance of Plastics in the Nineteenth CenturyD) Why people Are Suspicious of Plastics2. Which of the following is necessary to create any type of plastics?A) Coal.B) Eggs.C) Oil.D) Carbon.3. According to the author, for approximately how many years have plastics existed?A) 160.B)120.C)140.D) 100.4. What historical information does the second paragraph give about plastics?A)They originated primarily as road-surfacing materials.B) The earliest types were soft and did not last very long.C)Their popularity was at its height at the time of the Industrial Revolution.D) They have come into general use very gradually.5. Why does the author mention antiques in the third paragraph?A) Young collectors prefer real antiques to plastic objects.B) Dealers use inexpensive plastic parts to repair valuable antiques.C) Some plastic objects are now considered antiques.D) Plastics replicas (复制品) of valuable antiques are relatively common.Passage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:When memory began for me, my grandfather was past sixty -- a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray. He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip. Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose. The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature. The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humor nor his love of a joke. Everywhere he went, ''Gramp'' made friends easily. At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life. I soon learned that he hated to give orders, but that when he had to, he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions.One July morning, as he was leaving to go to the cornfield, he said, ''Edwin, you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do that.'' Then he drove away with his horses.The day passed, and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes. Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field. Gramp, dusty and tired, led the horses to get their drink.''How many bags of potatoes were there?'' Gramp inquired.''I don't know.''''How many potatoes did you pick up?''''I didn't pick any.''''Not any! Why not?''''You said I could pick them up if I wanted to. You didn't say I had to.''In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget: when Gramp said I could if I wanted to, he meant that I should want to.My grandmother (''Gram'') worked hard all day, washing clothes, cleaning the house, making butter, and even working in the field when help was scarce. In the evening, though, she was not too tired to read books from the community library. For more than forty years Gram read aloud to Gramp almost every evening. In this way she and Gramp learned about all the great battles of history and became familiar with the works of great authors and the lives of famous men.Gram hated cruelty and injustice. The injustices of history, even those of a thousand years before, angered her as much as the injustices of her own day.She also had a deep love of beauty. When she was almost seventy-five, and had gone to live with one of her daughters, she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because, as she said, the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure. The birds, the flowers, the clouds -- all that was beautiful around her -- pleased her. She was like the father of the French painter, Millet, who used to gather grass and show it to his son, saying, ''See how beautiful this is!''In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value. The softer virtues are considered unnecessary. Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable, even for a moment, to forget the business of preserving their lives. Only unusual people, like my grandparents, manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle.Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth.6. We know that Grandpa's nose _________.A) was flattened because it had been stepped onB) was not flat when he was a boyC) was both straight and broadD) was straight but its tip was a bit flat7. We learn from the passage that Grandpa _________.A) was friendly and humorousB) liked making suggestionsC) loved to give ordersD) was a serious and strict person8. When Grandpa told the writer to pick up potatoes if he wanted to do that, he meant that _________.A) he could do it if he wanted toB) he did not really have to do soC) he could do it anytime he was readyD) he had to do it9. The writer describes his Grandma as _________.A) a woman who complained about the injustices of lifeB) a very obedient housewifeC) someone who could find beauty in lifeD) a woman who loved Millet's paintings10. According to the passage, in the days of the writer's grandparents _________.A) most people understood how to appreciate the beautiful thingsB) in life it was difficult for people to keep the "soft qualities" of mind and characterC) only ordinary people managed to appreciate the beauty of natureD) it was the "soft virtues" that were thought to be very importantPassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Like a lot of black kids, we never would have made it without our Momma. When there was no fatback to go with the beans, no socks to go with the shoes, no hope to go with tomorrow, she’s smile and say: “We ain’t poor, we’re just broke.”Poor is a state of mind you never grow out of, but being broke is just a temporary condition. She always has a big smile, even when her legs and feet swelled from high blood pressure and she collapsed across the table with diabetes. You have to smile twenty-four hours a day, Momma would say. If you walk through life showing the aggravation you’ve gone through, people will feel sorry for you, and they’ll never respect you.So you laugh, so you smile. Once a month the big gray relief truck would poll up in front of our house and Momma would flash that big smile and stretch out her hands: “Who else you know in this neighborhood gets this kind of service?”And we could all feel proud when the neighbors, folks who weren’t on relief, folks who had Daddies in their houses, would come by the back porch fro some of those hundred pounds of potatoes, for some sugar and flour and salty fish. We’d stand out there on the back porch and hand out the food like we were in charge of helping poor people, and then we’d take the food they brought us in return.And Momma came home one hot summer day and found we’d been evicted, thrown out into the streetcar zone with all our orange crate chairs and secondhand lamps. She flashed that big smile and dried our tears and bought some penny Kool-Aid. We stood out there and sold drinks to thirsty people coming off the streetcar, and we thought nobody knew we were kicked out—figured they thought we wanted to be there. And Momma went off to talk the landlord into letting us back in on credit.But I wonder about my Momma sometimes, and all the other black mothers who got up at 6 a.m. to go to the white man’s house with sacks over their shoes because it was so wet and cold. I wonder how they made it. They worked very hard for the man, they made his breakfast and they scrubbed his floors and they diapered his babies. They didn’t have to much time for us.I wonder about my Momma, who walked out of a white woman’s clean house at midnight and came back to her own where the lights had been out for three months, and the pipes were frozen and the wind came in through the cracks. She’d have to make deals with the rats: ;eave some food out for them so they would n’t gnaw on the doors or bite the babies. The roaches, they were just live part of the family.I wonder how she felt telling those white kids she took care of to brush their teeth after they ate, to wash their hands after they peed. She could never tell her own kids because there was n’t soap or water backhome.I wonder how my Momma felt when we came home from school with a list of vitamins and pills and cod liver oil the school nurse said we had to have. Momma would cry all night, and then go out and spend most of the rent money for pills. A week later, the white man would come for his eighteen dollars rent and Momma would plead with him to wait until tomorrow. She had lost her pocketbook. The relief check was coming. The white fold had some money for her. Tomorrow, I’d be hiding in the coal closet because there was only supposed to be two kids in the flat, and I could hear the rent man curse my Momma and call her a liar.I wonder how my Momma stayed so good and beautiful in her soul when she worked seven days a week on swollen legs and feel, how she kept teaching us to smile and laugh when the house was dark and cold and she never knew when one of her hungry kids was going to ask about Daddy.I wonder how she kept from teaching us hate when the social worker cam around. She was a nasty bitch with a pinched face who said, “We have reason to suspect you are working, Miss Gregory, and you can be sure I’m going to check on you. We don’t stand for welfare cheaters.”Momma, a welfare cheater. A criminal who couldn’t stand to see her kids go hungry, or grow up in slums and end up mugging people in dark corners. I guess the system didn’t want her to get off relief, the way it kept sending social workers around to be sure Momma wasn’t trying to make things better.I remember how that social worker would poke around the house, wrinkling her nose at the coal dust on the chilly linoleum floor, shaking her head at the buds crawling over the dirty dishes in the sink. My Momma would have to stand there and make like she was too lazy to keep her own house clean. She could never let on that she spent all day cleaning another woman’s house for two dollars and carfare. She would have to follow that nasty bitch around those drafty three rooms, keeping her fingers crossed that the telephone hidden in the closet wouldn’t ring. Welfare cases weren’t supposed to have telephone.But Momma figured that some day the Gregory kids were going to get off North Taylor Street and into a world where they would have to compete with kids who grew up with telephones in their houses. She didn’t want us to be at a disadvantage. She couldn’t explain that to social worker. And she couldn’t explain that while she was out spoon-feeding somebody else’s kids, she was worrying about her own kids, that she could rest her mind by picking up the telephone and calling us-to find out if we had bread for our baloney or baloney for our bread, to see if any of us and gotten run over by the streetcar while we played in the gutter, to make sure the house hadn’t burnt down from the papers and magazines we stuffed in the stove when the coal ran out.11.

Since adults know how to place the key in the key slot, which is the ___37___ purpose of approaching the slot, and since the child is neither old enough nor clever enough to realize ___38___ the action on his own, what possible gain is achieved by having him struggle? He may well get ___39__and angry-----certainly not a desirable outcome. Why not show him what to do? He will be happy, he will learn how to accomplish the task sooner, and then he can ___40__to more complex activities, like opening the door or asking for the key---both of which accomplishments can (and should) in due course be modeled for him as well.We listened to such explanations ___41___and explained that, first of all, we did not much care whether Benjamin succeeded in inserting the key into the slot.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.( A )About 18 months ago, my father was in the hospital recovering from a major lung operation. My mother had recently passed away, and my father had taken the loss of his partner of 55 years very hard and had lost interest in life.Trying to get him to eat each day was quite a chore as he didn’t want anything. The one thing, however, that he would ask us to bring him was ice-cream.One evening to our surprise, he refused to eat the ice-cream, so I placed it in a staff room freezer. A little while later, my son decided he wanted it, so I fetched it for him.As I passed another ward, a woman asked, “Are there more? Where that came from?” When I explained the situation, she apologized. She then said that she had cancer and could eat very little other than the occasional ice-cream.The next evening, I decided to buy two ice-cream. On the way to Dad’s room, I stopped in at the sick woman’s room, and offered her the ice-cream I’d bought for her. She was totally stunned that I had thought of her, and accepted the gift with tears in her eyes. I spoke with her for a few minutes, explaining what was happening in my family and listened to her similar story of pain and suffering. It was apparent that she did not have many visitors, and the ice-cream and our short chat meant a great deal to her.I repeated the gesture a few days later, and this time was rewarded with a huge hug.I never even thought to ask her name, and never saw her again, but it made me realize that an act of kindness can be more rewarding when you give it, rather than receive it.58. The writer’s father stayed in the hospital because________.A. he had trouble eatingB. he had had a lung operationC. he had lost interest in lifeD. he was ill for losing his wife59. The writer bought ice-creams for the sick lady when he realized________.A. ice-cream was among the little food she could eatB. they had similar family experiencesC. she was lonely without family aroundD. to give is as important as to receive60. The underlined word in paragraph 6 probably means________.A. body languageB. wordC. actionD. decision61. What did the writer try to convey to us through the story?A. Giving is rewarding.B. Don’t hesitate to help elderly people.C. It’s our responsibility to look after our parents.D. Never put of anything you can do till tomorrow.( B )When Americans think of the lunch menu at their childhood school cafeterias, they probably imagine a shapeless, tasteless pile of mystery meat – plus some brown much（糊状物）,to match. But for children in Japan, school lunches are a rich experience where culture, nutrition and sustainability collide.“Japan’s standpoint is that school lunches are a part of education, not a break from it,” Masahiro Oji, a government director of school health education in Japan, told The Washington Post.Fare offered at schools in Japan is affordable, fresh, and made by the students themselves. And Japanese children don’t just eat the food they prepare; they learn about the nutritional and cultural elements of their meals, too. The food is grown locally and includes a balanced menu of rice, vegetable, fish and soups. As a bonus, each meal costs just $2.50.“Parents hear their kids talking about what they had for lunch,” Tatsuji Shino, the principal at Umejima Elementary School in Tokyo, told The Washington Post, “and kids ask them to re-create the meals at home.”Japanese students also learn cooperation and etiquette（礼仪）as they serve and clean up after each other. Mealtime is a scene of communal duty: In both elementary and middle schools,students in white coats and caps serve their classmates. Children eat in their classrooms. They get identical meals, and if they leave food untouched, they are out of luck: Their schools have no vending machines. Children in most districts are barred from bringing food to school, either, until they reach high school.Considering the fact that Japan has one of the world’s lowest childhood obesity rates, the U.S. probably has a lot to learn from this country’s school lunches. A 2011 study found that American students who regularly ate the school lunch – where options include pizza, chicken tenders（炸鸡柳）and French fries – were 29 percent more likely to be obese than those who brought lunch from home.62. According to the article, which word best describes what Americans think of their lunch at school?A. Tasty.B. Ordinary.C. Disgusting.D. Unique.63. The underlined word “fare” in the third paragraph probably means________.A. foodB. breakfastC. drinksD. price64. What is the main purpose of students’ preparing lunch by themselves in Japanese schools?A. To allow students to learn cooperation.B. To teach students some basic life skills.C. To let students learn about nutritional values of foods.D. To inspire students to share their food with others.65. What can we infer from the passage?A. Japan has the lowest rate of obesity in the world.B. Japanese schools lay great emphasis on cooperation and etiquette.C. American school children don’t bring homemade lunches.D. Students in Japan are healthier in every way than those in America.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.66. ________ In China, enough food is wasted in restaurants every year to feed 200 million people. In the United States, 40 percent of food is wasted from farm to fork.Each year, the amount of food thrown away in rich countries is almost the same as that produced in sub-Saharan Africa. This raises some important questions.In developing countries, food is lost because farmers do not have appropriate cooling, storage or market access for their crops. Their grains, fruits and vegetables dry up and rot away. 67. ________ China faces both problems, significant losses in farms, as well as at the sale and consumption stages. And the amount of food wasted by Chinese consumers it rapidly increasing. Consumer culture has filled China and urban residents can get quality food from anywhere in thecountry and from across the planet. 68. ________ In supermarkets, they refuse to buy vegetables that don’t look fresh or have an irregular shape, or milk and other products close to their expiry（失效）date.69. ________ In restaurants or at home, often too much food is ordered or cooked and served. So while trooping out of a restaurant, full and happy, with colleagues or friends, they never look back at what’s left untouched on the table. Should Chinese consumers take more responsibility for the waste they create?Everyone deserves to have enough food to eat. Despite China’s impressive success in reducing hunger over the past three decades, the job is not completed yet.Ⅱ.
