Injecting the blood of young mice into the older ones improved their brainpower, a study found. Scientists at Stanford University plan to carry out trials in people in the hope that new treatments for dementia(痴呆症) can be developed."There are factors present in blood from young mice that can recharge an old mouse's brain so that it functions more like a younger one, "says Dr. Tony from Stanford University School of medicine. In the study published in Nature Medicine, mice aged 18months were given injections of the blood taken from mice aged 3months. The injected mice performed better on memory tests than mice of the same age that had not been given the blood. Dr. Tony said it was not known whether the same was true of humans, but a trial(试验) was planned.A research center in UK said the treatment restored certain aspects of learning and memory in mice, but was of unknown importance to humans. The research, while very interesting, did not test the type of brain damage that was seen in dementia, which is not a necessary consequence of ageing.Meanwhile, two similar studies by a separate team have thrown more light on how young blood may benefit the old, in mice at least. A substance(物质) in the blood of mice previously shown to have an anti﹣ageing effect on heart muscle also improvedbrain cells, according to a Harvard team. The research, published in Science, found the blood factors encouraged the growth of brain cells in old mice, and restored their sense of smell. The same chemical also improved muscle power of aged mice, the researchers found.4. The underlined word in paragraph I probably means ____________.A. changeB. destroyC. speedD. increase5. Scientists in the US will test the discovery in humans with the aim of ___________.A. proving the possibility to live longer.B. showing the importance of scientific research.C. publishing the study in Nature Medicine.D. treating an age﹣related disease successfully.6. According to the studies, the blood from young mice benefits the old in certain ways except in _____________.A. memoryB. muscle powerC. fur colorD. brain cells7. What's the author's attitude to the anti-ageing st udies？A. supportiveB. objectiveC. negativeD. doubtful.CI was stuck(困住) in O'hare airport on an extremely long weather delay, pacing(踱步) up and down the waiting hall for some exercise, when I passed a wine bar for the twentieth time or so. But this time there was a young woman behind the piano, playing what I could only describe as absolutely beautiful classical music. She had not been there ten minutes earlier when I passed.I sat down at an empty table for four very near the piano, and began to be warmedby her music and a bit by the wine! She played so effortlessly and with such beautyin every note. Her music immediately brought a huge smile to my face!Soon, on a break, I thanked her and she told me that after a long day's traveling, and now also facing long weather delays, she just needed to relax herself. Wow! Her version of relaxing herself was exactly a gift to me.As I sat alone drinking my wine, absorbed in this young woman's celebration ofher musical passion, two women approached my table and asked if they could join me.I invited them to sit and we immediately began sharing our love of music and celebrating the happiness the piano music was bringing us at that very enjoyable moment.The two women and I began to talk about our travels, life journeys, and passions. Hearing that unbelievable piano music, and then meeting such interesting women, who generously shared with me their wisdom(智慧), perspectives(观点), and feelings of love for each other, was truly joyous. Faced with an 11­hour travel day—to get what normally takes 45 minutes—could have been physically and emotionally exhausting. Rather, by accident of walking by a wine bar at the right moment, and having a couple of seats open at my table, my life was filled with joy.I will cherish those moments for some time to come. This experience highlights(突出) the critical need in our lives to stop and listen to the music, to invite others to sit at your life table, to open yourself up to a stranger or two, sharing some of your deepest perspectives and experiences. Be open to noticing, absorbing, and also contributing to the joy around you!8. Where did the author hear the young woman's performance?A. In a wine bar.B. On the plane.C. Outside the waiting hall.D. In a chatting room.9. How long was the author's travel supposed to take without weather delay?A. 10 minutes.B. 20 minutes.C. 45 minutes.D. 11 hours.10. How did the author think about the experience in the airport?A. Complex but unforgettable.B. Boring and meaningless.C. Long and tiring.D. Joyful and meaningful.11. The author writes the text in order to encourage people ________.A. to share their experiences with othersB. to notice and enjoy the happiness around themC. to make the acquaintance of strangersD. to communicate with others more oftenDHave you ever had a science class that you look forward to？It doesn't happen often. But when you have a teacher like Mrs. Field, it's more than a science class. It's a science class where learning is easy and fun. There is no getting down to a huge textbook or listening to a teacher about something you don't care about. My experience with Mrs. Field didn't start with science class, but with her as my tutor.I was always a weak reader and wasn't getting any better.My parents told me I needed to be tutored(辅导). One day after school, I went into the library with my mom for my first tutoring time. I had no idea who was tutoring me. My mom practically had to drag me into the library. The first thing we did was to play a game to get to know each other and get rid of the awkwardness. We didn't even play a reading game.We also went around the library and I got to pick out a book I wanted to read. She didn't make me read a boring textbook about something I didn't care about. I didn't even pick a book. I picked out a magazine about remote control cars. I thought to myself, how bad could it be？To my surprise, She told me even though I was reading a magazine, I was still reading. After the first magazine, she picked out a book she liked. I would read a chapter and then she would read a chapter to me, in this way I didn't have to read for long periods of time.As I got better and faster at reading, I was able to read two chapters in the same amount of time, which used to take me to read one chapter.Reading is one of the most important things in high school and college to be successful. If it were not for her, I would not be the reader I am today!12. The writer tutored by Mrs. Field because _____________.A. he was too shy to talk with others.B. he found science fun but hard.C. he was eager to learn science.D. he lacked the skills of reading.13. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that ____________.A. the writer knew Mrs. Field very wellB. the writer was unwilling to be tutoredC. the writer felt awkward to read in the libraryD. the writer went to the library to play a reading game14. At the library, the writer ___________.A. chose any book he was interested inB. played a reading game with Mrs. FieldC. was asked to read one chapter after anotherD. had to read textbooks rather than magazines15. What's the author's feeling about Mrs. Field according to the last paragraph？A. unsatisfiedB. worriedC. gratefulD. regretful.第二节根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

第一学期期末考试高二英语试题本卷满分为120分，考试时间为100分钟第Ⅰ卷（选择题共70分）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AIn the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl going to Howard University, aiming at a law career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different story to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. Bu t one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to leave college to care for her. It meant that school and m y personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a mix of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To put eyes on him was wonderful and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No.3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8. Our home was a complete zoo—a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave upon the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each term.The hardest part was feeling sorry about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to give up, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you're looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you're in the middle of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won't arrive in your life on one day. It's a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.1. When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be _____.A. a judgeB. a teacherC. a writerD. a doctor2. Why did the author give up school in her second year of college?A. She wanted to study by herself.B. She fell in love and got married.C. She suffered from a serious illness.D. She decided to look after her grandma.3. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?A. She was busy yet happy with her family life.B. She ignored her sorry feeling of her sons.C. She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.D. She was too confused to make a correct choice.4. What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. Failure is the mother of success.B. Little by little, one goes far.C. Every coin has two sides.D. Well begun, half done.BCan dogs and cats get along well in the same home? People who are thinking about getting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found that if the cat is taken back home before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), itis highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. In two-thirds of the homes cats and dogs have a good relationship.However, it isn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness be tween the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression(侵略，好斗) and fighting were found in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body language is just different. For example, when a cat turns its head away it means aggression, while a dog doing the same means submission(顺从).In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers found a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “Dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “Cat”.What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to become smarter. They can learn to read each other’s body language, suggesting that the two may have more in common than expected. Once familiar with each other’s body language, cats and dogs can play together, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.The importance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets — to people who don’t get along well, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even countries. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.5. The underlined word “swimmingly”in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “________”.A. earlyB. mostlyC. quicklyD. smoothly6. What is found surprising about cats and dogs?A. They eat and sleep together.B. They watch each other’s behavior.C. They learn to speak each other’s language.D. They know something from each other’s voice.7. It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ________.A. have common interestsB. are less different than thoughtC. have a common body languageD. are not so smart as expected8. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?A. We should learn to get along well with others.B. We should know more about animals.C. We should live in peace with animals.D. We should learn more body language.CThere was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers, he used two buckets. One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one, which had seen many years of service, but was now past its best.Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出). The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked（漏水）along the path.Sometimes the new bucket would say, “See how capab le I am! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day! I don't know why he still bothers you. What a waste of space you are!”And all that the old bucket could say was, “I know I am not very useful, but I can only do my best. I’m happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me, at least.”One day, the gardener heard that kind of conversation. After watering the flowers as usual, he said, “You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look carefully along the path.”Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare（光秃秃的）earth; on the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.9. What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mean?A. dirtyB. darkC. worn outD. plain-looking10. What was the old bucket ashamed of?A. His pastB. His agingC.His mannerD.His leaking11. The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to _________.A. laugh at the old oneB. feel sorry about the old oneC. show off its beautiful looksD. praise the gardener’s kindnessDThe Indian government may use 3D paintings as virtual（虚拟的） speed-breakers on major highways and roads, in an attempt to check speeding and careless driving，and eventually make its deadly roads a little safer. “We are trying out 3D paintings used as virtual speed breakers to avoid unnecessary requirements of sp eed breakers,” India’s transport minister Nitin Gadkari tweeted.The visual illusions (幻象) are supposed to encourage drivers to slow down automatically. Earlier this month, India had ordered the removal of all speed breakers from highways, which are considered to be a danger to safety for high-speed vehicles.India has the highest number of road accident deaths in the world. According to the World Health Organisation, over 200,00 people are killed by road accidents due to poor application of road safety laws. This is considerably higher than its official figures of 141,526 for 2014.The use of visual illusions as speed breakers was first pioneered in the American city of Philadelphia in 2008, as part of a campaign against speeding motorists. The technique has also been tried out in China to create floating 3D crossings.In India, cities such as Ahmedabad and Chennai have already experimented with 3D zebra crossings in the last one year. In Ahmedabad for instance, two artists, mother and daughter have painted 3D crosswalks in the first few months of this year. The artists say their motto is “to increase the attention of drivers”, and that the concept has been successfully tested in zones where accidents easily occur on a highway.However, critics argue that once drivers know that these speed breakers are visual illusions, they may ignore them. Others also point out that India’s decision does not consider the safety of a large number of walkers. In the end, the new policy may be just one step towards improving road safety.12. According to the passage, 3D paintings as virtual speed breakers in India aimsto .A. Replace all speed breakers from highways.B. Encourage essential requirements of speed breakers.C. Check speeding and careless driving on all highways.D. Remind divers to speed down voluntarily for road safety.13. What caused the high number of road accident deaths in India?A. Speeding motorists.B. Floating 3D crossings.C. Free use of visual illusions.D. Bad application of traffic laws.14. The author explains the experiment of 3D zebra crossings in India by .A. giving examples.B. analysin g causes.C. providing figures.D. making comparisons.15. What’s the author’s attitude towards 3D zebra crossings?A. subjective.B. objective.C. supportive.D. critical.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。

He patrolled (巡逻) the spring every day, and swept away all the leaves and other things that would dirty the fresh flow of water. Soon, beautiful swans (天鹅) came to the clear spring, and the village became a popular attraction for visitors.Years passed. One evening the town leaders held a meeting. As they looked at the salary list, one of them said, “Why do we keep this old man on year after year? I don’t think we need him or his work.” Later, the old man was asked to leave.For several weeks, nothing changed. By early autumn, the leaves began to fall off the trees, and the spring was covered with leaves. A few days later, the water was much darker. Only a few months after the old man left, all the swans left, as did the tourists. Disease reached deeply into the village.Quickly, the leaders held a special meeting. Realizing their mistake, they rehired the old man. Then within a few weeks, the spring began to clear up. Soon new life returned to the village.So, my friends, do you see? No matter how small your work or your life seems to be, never overlook it. Anything we can do will make a difference.4.

In the U.S., there are only three: football, basketball and baseball. If you want to know what season it is, just have a look at what people are playing.For many people in the U.S., sports are not just for fun. They’re almost a religion. Thousands of sports fans buy expensive tickets to watch their favourite teams and athletes play in person. Other fans watch the games at home. The most devoted sports buffs never miss a game. Man y a wife becomes a “sports widow (寡妇)” during her husband’s favorite season.America’s devotion to athletics has created a new class of wealthy people: professional athletes. Sports stars often receive million-dollar salaries. Some even make big money appearing in advertisements for soft drinks, shoes and even toiletries (化妆品).Sports are an important part of Americans’ culture. Throughout their school life, Americans learn to play many sports. All students take physical education classes in school. Some try out for the school teams, while others join school sports leagues.

Today, however, scientists believe that 10 percent of workers in Britain are being deafened by thenoise where they work. Many of the workers who print newspapers and books, and who weave(织)cloth become deaf. Quite a few people living near airports also become deaf. Recently it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65-year-old persons, for these young people like to listen to pop music and pop music is a kind of noise. Besides, noise produced by jet planes or machines will make people’s life difficult and unpleasant, or even make people ill or even drive them mad.It is said that a continuous noise of over 85 decibels(分贝) can cause deafness.
