I’ll leave here at 7:20. It’ll take 20 minutes to get to your house.(Text 3)W: Wait! Don’t sit on that chair. It’s broken. I’ve been putting off fixing that cha ir for over a week.M: Oh, thanks. You’d better hurry up before someone gets hurt.W: I’ll see to it this afternoon.(Text 4)M: Have you been to the new department store yet?W: I went there on Saturday, but I drove around the parking lot for nearly an hour looking for a space before I finally gave up and came home.M: I think I’ll wait a few days before I go.(Text 5)M: Wow … so beautiful. I like the color you painted the walls. Why did you decide on purple? W: I was inspired by a movie I saw last month.M: I think you should get a new carpet. This one doesn’t match anything in the room.(Text 6)M: Have you seen the latest play at the Golden Street Theater?

Saturday, too.That’s a big disappointment because I really want to see it.(Text 7)M: Hello, Bertie.W: Hi. I want to find a place to have supper. There are many restaurants in this area. It is difficult to decide which one to go to. When I choose a restaurant, I always take its nearby restaurants into consideration; it must be the super one among all of them.M: It sounds reasonable. But it’s simpler for me to pick a restaurant as long as the restaurant is big enough and have seats available.W: Oh, look! I think this one is pretty good.M: It seems that the number of seats there is great.W: OK. Let’s go.(Text 8)W: The weekend is almost here. Let’s do something together.M: You’re right.

But I get a bit confused about the directions.M: Probably the best thing to do is to walk around and familiarize yourself with everything.Now I need you to fill in this form. Take it away with you and then make an appointment to see me again and we’ll go over it. My telephone number is on the form. You can ring me anytime, except on Thursday.(Text 10)M: Attention please! Now I will give you a brief introduction to the Winter Festival. It is a free event for all people to enjoy, and is organized by a team of volunteers. The first Winter Festival was introduced the year before last. Sadly due to a lack of money no festival was held last year. This year the government may provide $15,000 to the festival. They also persuaded the businessmen around the town to offer the rest $5,000.There will be a free art exhibition on Friday 18, Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 December in the Center Park of the town. The opening hours are from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and there is an opening night only on Friday, from 7:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Different from other exhibitions, this art exhibition is really a special one because the public will have the chance to watch the paintings which are from the town’s school. And all the paintings are created by the students.It is great that the Festival is going to host a wonderful sound of music in the Main Exhibition Hall this year. This programme aims to show some of the musical talents that we have in town. Everyone watching the performance had better not wear formal clothes, but fancy dress. And in the programme, you will hear classical music, pop music, rock music and operas.。

Is it still possible for us to get a table for two?W: You’re lucky. A party of two just call off their reservations. We can seat you in about 15 minutes.(Text 3)M: So, are you still going to Manila next week?W: No, I think we should invite Mr Quizon to come here instead.M: Good idea. He should get familiar with our side of the operation anyway.(Text 4)W: I really fancy this dress. Can I get a discount?M: Well, you’d better wait. We give our clerks 30% off the prices once they’ve work ed here for a month.W: Then I guess I’ll wait a couple of weeks before I buy any clothes.(Text 5)W: Hi, James! I haven’t seen you for ages! I went past your house last week. I was going to knock at your door and say hello!M: Well, it’s lucky you didn’t. My parents bought a new flat in town, so we’re there now! (Text 6)W: Tell me about the basketball match, Jon.M: Well, our team played well. We scored loads of points. Then I fell and hurt my leg, but I carried on playing. The other team was really better than us, though.W: So did you lose?M: No, because in the final seconds, I managed to get the ball, jump up to the basket and score!That meant we’d won! I thought my team might carry me out of the gym like a hero, though, so I was a bit disappointed.W: Well, maybe next time.(Text 7)M: Look at this! You played chess with your father, right?W: Yes. I used to play chess, but I wasn’t vey good at it. I found it really difficult to concentrate. In fact, I never won a game of chess, so I stopped playing after a while.M: That’s a pity. What about this one? You cooked dinner?W: Yes. I like cooking. I do it because I enjoy it, especially at weekends when I’ve got plenty of time.M: That sounds amazing. Maybe I can try some of your dishes next weekend.(Text 8)W: When did you decide to make your own videos in your spare time?M: When I was 12 I loved to watch other people’s videos online. One day I thought, “I want to do that.” So I did.W: Was it difficult to learn?M: No, not at all. All you need is a computer with a camera, and some video software. I found it easy because I enjoy playing with technical things.W: What’s the best thing about it?M: I love reading the messages other video makers write under their videos. Sometimes they are funny.W: What about the future?M: I’ll never stop making videos. I hope to work in the music business when I graduate.W: Well, good luck. And thanks for talking to me.M: Thank you. It was fun.(Text 9)W: Can I help you?M: Yes. I’m a new student. Where should I go?W: Well, this is the programme for this morning which starts at 9:30.

But just let me tell you the details of this morning’s activities.M: OK, then.W: Firstly at a quarter to ten, in the hall, which is next to the meeting room, the Director of the Studies will talk to you about the different courses and their requirements. This should last for about 45 minutes. Then at about half past ten the Student Accommodation Officer will talk about the student dormitories and some social activities that we offer. That’s in the same place. He will finish at about 11:00. Then there’ll be a short break, after which you’ll be taken to Classroom 3 at about 11:15 for a test.M: Oh, I did not know I’d have to take a test.W: Take it easy. It’s not like an exam. It just helps us find your level of English and put you in the right class.M: OK, I see.(Text 10)W: Hi, there, everybody, and welcome to Animal World. Before you start your visit, I’d like to tell you about a few special events happening here today.The first event is called The World of Ants, and it’s happening this morning quite soon in the Insect House. Dr David Crocker is giving a lecture all about ants — the different types ofants, how they organize themselves, what they eat, their behavior and so on. It’s from 11 o’clock to 12 o’clock.At midday, that’s 12 o’clock, there’s a film which is just as fascinating and it’s called The Great Migration. This is all about birds and how they move across continents and oceans. As I said, it’s a film which all the family will enjoy, and it’s on in Theater C, which you can see here just behind me, a little farther than Theater A and Theater B — so bear that in mind for 12 o’clock. And it lasts 45 minutes.The next event is called Encouraging Garden Wildlife taking place in the Exhibition Room and given by Monica Chaddha. Monica will be showing you ways of encouraging animals, birds and other wildlife to visit and live in your garden, how to place boxes for nests, what food to put out for them and all sorts of practical advice. That’s at 2:30, so just after lunch. You will spend half an hour there.。

She became a really (20) person.Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her (21) . Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost (22) to deal with was that the day before the (23) , Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her (24) of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to (25) .

What do we know from the first paragraph？ ______A. The author's father was born in a worker's family．B. Those born stupid could not change their life．C. The town elders wanted to learn about the world．D. The poor could hardly afford school education．41. The underlined word"it"in the second paragraph refers to" ______ "．A. one new thingB. a requestC. the newsD. some comment42. It can be learned from the passage that the author ______ ．A. enjoyed talking about newsB. knew very well about NepalC. felt regret about those wasted daysD. appreciated his father's educational technique43. What is the greatest value of"dinner time"to the author？ ______A. Continual learning．B. Showing talents．C. Family get-together．D. Winning Papa's approval．44.

Club members enjoy free travel insurance for any flight．C. The advertisement is intended for students of all ages．D. Any child must be accompanied by at least one paying adult．DLife can be so wonderful，full of adventure and joy．It can also be full of challenges，setbacks and heartbreaks．Whatever our circumstances，we generally still have dreams，hopes and desires-that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones．Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem，because when we go to change the way we do things，up come the old patterns and pitfalls that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place．This tension between what we feel we can have and"what we're seemingly able to have is the niggling suffering，the anxiety we feel．This is where we usually think it's easier to just give up．But we're never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can havemore．The intelligence behind that knowing is us-the real us．It's the part that believes in life and its possibilities．If you drop that，you begin to feel a little"dead"inside because you're dropping"you"．So，if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck，how do we break these patterns？Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time．This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today's challenges．While，deep down，we know we can do it，our mind-or the minds of those close to us-usually says we can't．That isn't a reason to stop，it's just the mind，that little man or woman on your shoulder，trying to talk you out of something again．It has done it many times before．It's all about starting simple and doing it now．Decide and act before overthinking． When you do this you may feel a little，or large，release from the jail of your mind and you'll be on your way．48. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should ______ ．A. slow down and live a simple lifeB. be careful when we choose to changeC. stick to our dreams under any circumstancesD. be content with what we already have49. What is the key to breaking the old patterns？ ______ ．A. To focus on every detail．B. To decide and take immediate action．C. To listen to those close to us．D. To think twice before we act．50. Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph？______ ．A. Escape from your punishment．B. Realization of your dreams．C. Freedom from your tension．D. Reduction of your expectations．51. What does the author intend to tell us？ ______ ．A. It's easier than we think to get what we want．B. It's important to learn to accept sufferings in life．C. It's impractical to change our way of thinking．D. It's harder than we expect to follow a new course．EGroup exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain a healthy lifestyle．Group exercise is challenging，yet fun and empowering!Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body．However，studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups，it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health．It's an opportunity to be social，release endorphins（内啡肽），and improve your strength．Additionally，group exercise createsa community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard．Theinstrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone．Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor．Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to embarrass themselves．If you feel you can relate，then group training is an even better option for you．It's a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision （监管） of a fitness instructor．If you're tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored，you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that'll keep your workout on track．Don't letfitness frighten you!If you're serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle，it's extremely important to surround yourself with people who'll provide you with the proper emotional support．I wouldn't scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn't expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health．Surround yourself with people who uplift，encourage and understand you!Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class，with a friend．Plan to go for a jog together．Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar!Fitness can be both fun and social!Surrounding yourself with people who'll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals．First，decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive．Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive．Don't let negativity ruin your motivation．52.

福建省福州市2015届高三英语学期质量检测试题福州市2014—2015学年第一学期高三期末质量检测英语试卷听力材料(Text 1)W: I’m quite sure that John failed the exam.M: How did you find out?W: He looked very disappointed when the paper was handed to him.M: He really worked hard.(Text 2)M: We don’t have any reservations. Is it still possible for us to get a table for two?W: You’re lucky. A party of two just call off their reservations. We can seat you in about 15 minutes.(Text 3)M: So, are you still going to Manila next week?W: No, I think we should invite Mr Quizon to come here instead.M: Good idea. He should get familiar with our side of the operation anyway.(Text 4)W: I really fancy this dress. Can I get a discount?M: Well, you’d better wait. We give our clerks 30% off the prices once they’ve worked here for a month.W: Then I guess I’ll wait a couple of weeks before I buy any clothes.(Text 5)W: Hi, James! I haven’t seen you for ages! I went past your house last week. I was going to knock at your door and say hello!M: We ll, it’s lucky you didn’t. My parents bought a new flat in town, so we’re there now! (Text 6)W: Tell me about the basketball match, Jon.M: Well, our team played well. We scored loads of points. Then I fell and hurt my leg, but I carried on playing. The other team was really better than us, though.W: So did you lose?M: No, because in the final seconds, I managed to get the ball, jump up to the basket and score!That meant we’d won! I thought my team might carry me out of the gym like a hero, though, so I was a bit disappointed.W: Well, maybe next time.(Text 7)M: Look at this! You played chess with your father, right?W: Yes. I used to play chess, but I wasn’t vey good at it. I found it really difficult to concentrate. In fact, I never won a game of chess, so I stopped playing after a while.M: That’s a pity. What about this one? You cooked dinner?W: Yes. I like cooking. I do it because I enjoy it, especially at weekends when I’ve got plenty of time.M: That sounds amazing. Maybe I can try some of your dishes next weekend.(Text 8)W: When did you decide to make your own videos in your spare time?M: When I was 12 I loved to watch other people’s videos online. One day I thought, “I want to do that.” So I did.W: Was it difficult to learn?M: No, not at all. All you need is a computer with a camera, and some video software. I found it easy because I enjoy playing with technical things.W: What’s the best thing about it?M: I love reading the messages other video makers write under their videos. Sometimes they are funny.W: What about the future?M: I’ll never stop making videos. I hope to work in the music business when I graduate.W: Well, good luck. And thanks for talking to me.M: Thank you. It was fun.(Text 9)W: Can I help you?M: Yes. I’m a new student. Where should I go?W: Well, this is the programme for this morning which starts at 9:30. All the new students will first gather in the meeting room where you’ll be introduced to the staff.M: Where is that then?W: I’ll tell you in a moment. But just let me tell you the details of this morning’s activities.M: OK, then.W: Firstly at a quarter to ten, in the hall, which is next to the meeting room, the Director of the Studies will talk to you about the different courses and their requirements. This should last for about 45 minutes. Then at about half past ten the Student Accommodation Officer will talk about the student dormitories and some social activities that we offer. That’s in the same place. He will finish at about 11:00. Then there’ll be a short break, after which you’ll be taken to Classroom 3 at about 11:15 for a test.M: Oh, I did not know I’d have to take a test.W: Take it easy. It’s not like an exam. It just helps us find your level of English and put you in the right class.M: OK, I see.(Text 10)W: Hi, there, everybody, and welcome to Animal World. Before you start your visit, I’d like to tell you about a few special events happening here today.The first event is called The World of Ants, and it’s happening this morning quite soo n in the Insect House. Dr David Crocker is giving a lecture all about ants — the different types ofants, how they organize themselves, what they eat, their behavior and so on. It’s from 11 o’clock to 12 o’clock.At midday, that’s 12 o’clock, there’s a film which is just as fascinating and it’s called The Great Migration. This is all about birds and how they move across continents and oceans. As I said, it’s a film which all the family will enjoy, and it’s on in Theater C, which you can see here just behind me, a little farther than Theater A and Theater B — so bear that in mind for 12 o’clock. And it lasts 45 minutes.The next event is called Encouraging Garden Wildlife taking place in the Exhibition Room and given by Monica Chaddha. Monica will be showing you ways of encouraging animals, birds and other wildlife to visit and live in your garden, how to place boxes for nests, what food to put out for them and all sorts of practical advice. That’s at 2:30, so just after lunch. You will spend half an hour there.。

According to United States requirements, life preservers must be simple in design,reversible( 可翻转的), capable of being quickly adjusted to fit theuninitiated individual, and must be so designed as to support the wearer in the water in an upright or slightly backward position.Sufficient buoyancy(浮力) to support the wearer should beretained by the life preserver after 48 hours in the water, and it should be reliable even after long period of storage. Thus it should be made of materials resistant to sunlight, gasoline, and oils, and it should be not easily set on fire. The position in which the life preserver will support a person who jumps or falls into the water is the most important thing, as is its tendency to turn the wearer in the water from a face-down position to an upright or slightly backward position, with his face clear of the water, even when the wearer is exhausted or unconscious.The method of adjustment to the body should be simple, and self-evident to uninitiated individuals even in the dark under the confused conditions, which follow a disaster. Thus, the life preserver should be reversible so that it is nearly impossible to set it on wrong. Catches, straps, and ties should be kept to a minimum. In addition, the life preserver must be adjustable to the wide variety of shapes and sizes of wearers, since this greatly affects the position of floating and the self-righting qualities. A suitable life preserver should also be comfortable to wear at all times, in and out of the water, not so heavy as to encourage to take it off on shipboard while the ship is in danger, nor so burdensome that it hinders a person in the water while trying to swim.56. The passage is mainly about_____________.A. the uses of life preserversB. the design of life preserversC. the materials for life preserversD. the buoyancy of life preservers57. According to the passage, a life preserver should be first of all, _________.A . adjustable B. comfortable C. self-evident D. self-righting58. United States Coast Guard does NOT require the life preserver to be made ______.A. with as few strings as possibleB. capable of being worn on both sidesC. according to each wearer's sizeD. comfortable and light to wear59. By ―the uninitiated individual‖ (Para. 1, Line. 4) the author refers to the person ______.A. who has not been instructed how to use a life preserverB. who has a little experience in using a life preserverC. who uses a life preserver without permissionD. who becomes nervous before a disasterBTelevision has changed the lifestyle of people in every industrialized country in the world. In the United States, where sociologists have studied the effects, some interesting observations have been made.Television, although not essential, has become an important part ofmost people’s lives. It alters people’s ways of seeing the world; in manyways, it supports and sustains (维持) modern life.Television has become a baby-sitter, an introducer of conversations, the major transmitter of culture, and a keeper of tradition. Yet when what can be seen on TV in one day is critically analyzed, it becomes evident thattelevision is not a teacher but a sustainer; the poor quality ofprogramming does not elevate (提高) people into greater understanding, but rather maintains and encourages the life as it exists.The primary reason for the lack of quality in American television is related to both the history of TV programming development and the economics of TV. Television in America began with the radio. Radio companies and their sponsors first experimented with television. Therefore, the closerelationship which the advertisers had with radio programs became the system for American TV. Sponsors not only paid money for time within programs, but many actually produced the programs. Thus, in American society, television is primarily concerned with reflecting and attracting society rather than experimenting with new ideas. Advertisers want to attract the largest viewing audience possible. To do so requires that the programs be entertaining rather than educational, attractive rather than challenging.Television in America today remains, to a large extent, with the same organization and standards as it had thirty years ago. The hope for further development and true achievement toward improving society will require a change in the entire system.60. According to the author, American television is poor in quality because _________.A. it is controlled by radio companiesB. the programs have to be developed partly for economic reasonsC. advertisers are interested in experimenting with new ideasD. it is still at an early stage of development, compared with the radio61. In the author’s view, American TV should _________.A. be entertaining and attractiveB. reflect society and attract societyC. attract as many viewers as possibleD. change with the development of society62.

Her son, Guy B Johnson, confirmed the news in a statement.He said Angelou "passed away quietly in her home" sometime before 8 am on Wednesday.Angelou’s failing health was reported as recently as Tuesday, when she canceled an appearance honoring her with a Beacon of Life Award for ―health reasons‖. The ceremony was part of th e 2014 MLB Beacon Award Luncheon, in Houston, Texas, part of Major League Baseball’s Civil Rights Games. Last month, forced to cancel an appearance at a library in Arkansas, she wrote: "An unexpected condition put me into the hospital. I will be getting better and the time will come when I can receive another invitation from my state and you will recognize me for I shall be the tall Black lady smiling. "Angelou was born Marguerite Annie Johnson, in St Louis, Missouri, in 1928.She survived several personal trials: she was a child of the Depression, grew up in the segregated(种族隔离的) south, and gave birth as a teenager. She wrote seven autobiographies, including the 1969 memoir I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, and was a playwright, director and novelist.I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings was a condemnation(谴责) of the racial discrimination she experienced during her childhood. "If growing up is painful for the southern black girl," she wrote, "being aware of her displacement is the rust(铁锈) on the razor that threatens the throat. "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”has had a wide appeal and continues to appear on school and university reading lists in the US and the UK.In 1993, she read her poem On the Pulse of the Morning at President Clinton's first inauguration(就职演说), a performance that made the poem a bestseller. The poem celebrates the diversity of ethnic groups in the US, and calls on the nation to leave behind cynicism and look forward to a new pride in itself, and a new belief for the country. Clinton on Wednesday said he would "always be grateful for all the years of friendship that followed. America has lost a national treasure, and Hillary and I a beloved friend."Angelou was a long-time Clinton supporter. One month before his inauguration, she told the New York Times: ―Since the election, I have found it easier to wake up in the morning.‖ And her loyalty to Hillary Clinton has been steadfast, even as Barack Obama campaigned to be America's first black president.The mayor of Winston-Salem, Allen Joines, said the town would probably remember Angelou best for her commitment to health and theatre. She supported the founder of the National Black Theater Festival, and eventually became its first chairperson in 1989. In 2012, the Maya Angelou Women’s Health and Wellness Center opened in the city. Despite her many accomplishments, the mayor said small moments seemed to touch the poet. In April 2008, the town threw Angelou an 80th birthday party. Despite entertainers and speakers present at the party, the mayor said, ―The thing that seemed to touch her the most was a group of littl e kids.‖68.

Clinton's performance of the poem On the Pulse of the Morning made it a bestseller.EMoby-Dick (1851) is a novel by Herman Melville, consideredan outstanding work of Romanticism and the AmericanRenaissance. Ishmael narrates the crazy quest of Ahab, captain ofthe whaler Pequod,for revenge(报仇) on Moby Dick, a whitewhale which on a previous voyage destroyed Ahab's ship andsevered his leg at the knee.Our narrator, Ishmael, signs up as sailor on a whaling voyageto cure depression. On board the Pequod, Ishmael meets the mate −honest Starbuck. Captain Ahab remains in his cabin and nevershows himself to the crew.Just when Ishmael’s curiosity about Ahab has reached a fever pitch, Ahab starts appearing on deck –and we find out that he’s missing one leg. When Starbuck asks if it was Moby Dick, the famous White Whale, that took off his leg, Ahab admits that it was and forces the entire crew to swear that they will help him hunt Moby Dick to the ends of the earth and take revenge for his injury.Despite first mate Starbuck’s wo rries and a variety of bad omens (e.g., all the navigational instruments break, a typhoon tries to push the ship backwards, and the Pequod encounters other ships that have lost crewmembers because of Moby Dick), Ahab insists on continuing to pursue the whale.Finally, just when we think the novel’s going to end without ever seeing this famous White Whale, Ahab sights him and the chase is on. For three days, Ahab pursues Moby Dick, sending whaling boat after whaling boat after him – only to see each one wrecked (使下沉)by the whale. Finally, at the end of the third day, the White Whale attacks the ship itself, and the Pequod goes down with all hands.Even while his ship is sinking, Ahab, in his whaling boat, throws his harpoon at Moby Dick one last time. He misses, catching himself around the neck with the rope and causing his own drowning death.72. We can infer from the passage that ________.A. Ishmael signs up as sailor for making a fortune.B.
