高二英语下册暑假作业及答案【一】一、美文晨读Dave needed to pack for Saturday’s fishing trip. He went into his hall closet, where he had more than 20 rods and reels. Nowadays he went fishing twice a year at Big Bear, a huge lake in southern California about 7,000 feet up in the mountains.California tries to boost the fishing industry by sponsoring a Free Fishing Day twice a year, once in June and once in September. That sufficed for Dave. He went mostly because it was a social event with a few friends, not so much to catch fish. Even by itself, the scenic drive up a twisty two-lane road was worth the trip. Not to mention the big, beautiful houses and trees that lined the shore of the lake.Packing was a project in itself. Dave had even created a computer file named Fishing Trip. It was a checklist of 45 things to take to Big Bear. He took two rods, because on Free Fishing Day you were allowed to fish with two rods instead of the usual one rod. He took a hooded sweatshirt, jeans, two pair of socks, a heavy hooded denim jacket, winter gloves, and a scarf. He also took flip-flops, shorts, a T-shirt, sunglasses, a big hat, and a lightweight raincoat. If you go to Big Bear in June, you’d better be prepared for hot or cold, rain or shine.He packed a couple of magazines to read just in case the fish weren’t biting. He and his friends joked that the fish were always biting - in the spot you just left or the spot you were headed to.After about an hour and a half, Dave had gathered all the items on his list into a neat pile next to his door. He went t o bed knowing that tomorrow’s weather and fishing were unpredictable, but the good time with his friends was a gift.二、词汇训练1. The long climb left Jane feeling ________（令人屏息的，气喘吁吁）.2. What you say now is not ________（一致的，相符的）with what you said last week.3. I’m going to start ________（减肥）after Christmas.4. My luggage was ________（超重的）by five kilos.5. If anything happens to her, I’ll always have it on my________（良心，良知）.6. It’s bad ________（礼貌）to speak to your parents like that.7. As a critic, his writing is far too ________（主观的）.8. One ________（缺点，不利因素）of New York in the summer is the heat.9. Jenny’s such a ________（逗人喜爱的）little girl that everyone likes her.10. She overcame her ________（最初的）shyness and really enjoyed the evening.三、七选五We often close ourselves off when painful events happen in our life. Instead of letting the world soften us, we let it drive us deeper into ourselves. 1The item listed below are four tips you can open your heart more fully and completely.1.Breathe into painWhenever a painful situation arises in your life, try to face it instead of running away. 2 When the sadness strikes, take a deep breath and accept it. By using our breath, we soften our experiences and allow more newness.2. 3We’re often confused at the next step to take. Actually, we can try a new decision making process. To start the process, we may ask, “Heart, what decision should I make here? What action feels the most right?” See what comes up, then put it into practice and evaluate the outcome.3.Spend time aloneFor most of our life we’re surrounded by people： our friends, family members and strangers. 4 When you spend time in solitude(孤独), you’re free from the influence of other people. It might be painful at first, but eventually you’ll add a whole new layer of depth and understanding into life.4.Get out of yourself5 But in reality, they actually work hand-in-hand. After you’ve explored the depth of yourself, you come away with a new understanding.Now, it’s time to share that, not th rough telling others, but through being with others.A.Have a light heartB.Ask your heart what it wantsC.Is there anything I’m hiding from myself?D.How often do we really spend time alone?E.This may seem to go against the last tip to some degree.F.We should open our hearts and take action to heal the wounds.G.When we run away from sadness, it gets stronger and more real.四、阅读理解That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, Ifelt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away any possible robbers(抢劫犯). Very fewpeople were still out except a few sad-looking homelesspeople under blankets.About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with aknife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so Istarted to run faster. Not until I reached my apartmentbuilding and unlocked the door did I realize what the noisehad been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasn’t cold or t ired anymore. I ran out ofthe door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, mywallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck(垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me.When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. Iwouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.1. How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A. Cold and sickB. Lucky and hopefulC. Satisfied and cheerfulD. Disappointed and helpless2. From the first paragraph, we learn that the writer was busy_____.A. solving her problem at the bankB. taking part in various city activitiesC. learning acting in an evening schoolD. preparing for the first night show3. On her way home the writer_____A. lost her wallet unknowinglyB. was stopped by a garbage truck driverC. was robbed of her wallet by a man with a knifeD. found some homeless people following her4. In the fifth paragraph, why did the writer say she was dreaming?A. Someone offered to take her back homeB. A red-haired man came to see her.C. She heard someone call her nameD. Her wallet was found in a garbage truck5. From the text, we can infer that the writer_____A. would stop working at nightB. would stay on in San FranciscoC. would make friends with cleaners.D. would give up her job at the bankBringing Art into Hospitals.The medical world is slowly realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play an important role in helping patients to recover.As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the museums and into public places, some of the country’s best artists have been called in to change older hospitals and to soften the hard, modern buildings. Of the 2500 national health service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have collections of art in passages, waiting areas and treatment rooms.These recent movements were first started by one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970’s. He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by more people.A common hospital waiting room might have as many as 5000 visitors each week. What a good place to hold exhibitions of art! Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britain’s first hosp ital artist, Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates.The effect is amazing. Now in the passages and waiting rooms the visitors experience a full view of fresh colors, playful images and restful courtyards.The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness.A study has shown that a patient who had a view onto gardens needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.6. Some best artists of Britain have been called in to_____.A. set up new hospitalsB. make the corners ofhospital collect paintingsC. bring art into hospitalsD. help patients recover from serious illness7. After the improvement of the hospital environment, _____.A. patients no longer take drugs to kill their painsB. patients don’t have to stay long in hospitalC. patients need fewer pain killers when they suffer from an illnessD. patients feel happy in hospital8. It can be inferred from the passage that_____.A. the role of hospital environment is being recognizedB. hospital artists have done more than doctorsC. exhibitions attract more people in hospitals than in museumsD. the hospitals is a better place for people than the museum in BritainA person, like a commodity (商品), needs packaging. But going too far is absolutely undesirable. A little exaggeration, however, does no harm when it shows the person’s unique qualities to their advantages. To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself. A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment (装饰), so that the person so packaged is not a commodity but a human being, lively and lovely.A young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted by God. Any attempt to make up would be self-defeating. Youth, however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work you are unique in through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self-satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make us of hair dyeing. The snow-capped mountain itself is a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony (和谐) with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the elder’s company islike reading a thick book of deluxe (better quality) edition that attracts one so much as to be unwilling to part with.As long as one find where on stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.9. It can be concluded from the text that _______.A. people should be packed at all agesB. people should be packed in a special wayC. elderly people also care about packingD. proper packing makes people attractive10. For the middle-aged, attractiveness _______.A. hardly existsB. is thestrongestC. comes from the insideD. comes fromthe appearance11. The underlined sentence means that elderly people _______.A. are usually packed like a finely-made bookB. experience a lot and have a rich knowledge of lifeC. do a lot of traveling and can give you much informationD. enjoy reading thick books of beautiful nature and fairylands五、句子翻译1. 我们每个人都要受到学校的影响。

Though small, anything that pulls you away from your focus can get in the way of your productivity. Follow the tips below to sharpen your focus.Keep your vision and goals in mind. It’s important to start with a good base for your focus as you learn how to avoid distraction.1 Do you have a big presentation at work next week that you need to prepare for? Do you have a dream of learning to play the guitar and need to focus for an hour each day while you practice?2 If you have 20 tasks to do every day, how effective do you think your focus ability will be? You need to break them down. Focus on only doing 2—3 important tasks at a time. It’s all you need to take steps towards accomplishing your goals.3 Most goals will at least take a few weeks to months to accomplish. Thus, you become discouraged because the goal is too big. Or you fantasize about what it’ll feel like when you achieve the goal.4 Instead, focus on doing a very small, minimum amount of work.Do those tasks as soon as possible. In order to make sure you get tasks done, you need to do them early in order to stay focused on the task without feeling overwhelmed. This means that as soon as you wake up, you should start plotting how to do them. 5A.Skip what you don’t know.B.Reduce the chaos of your day.C.This will cause you to do one of the two things.D.Focus on the smallest part of your work at a time.E.Figure out exactly why you need to focus in the first place.F.Waiting to do them later only invites distraction to take over.G. Either is terrible for your focus and always a potential problem.语法填空Trade is a very important way for any country to earn money and create jobs.

In oneclassie experiment, people were showna vertical line and asked to find a line of identical lengthfrom a selection of three.You might think that this is an absurdly easy task, and when people perform it by themselvesthey do it very well. However, psychologists have discoveredthat we are very easily swayed by the opinions of other people when wedo this task in a group. In one study, a group of three peoplewas set up,where two of the people were confederates(同伙)of the experimenter.When the confederates deliberately gave wronganswers,people were often swayed to give the wrong answer also. In fact, 75% of people gave at least one wrong answer, with some people conforming to peer pressure on every occasion.But why do people conform in this way? In an easy task like this, it seems that people donot want to step out of line with the prevailing opinion of the group. On more difficult tasks, people also conform because they lose 〔onfidence in their own ability to make decisions and preferto trust the majority opinion instead.A typical example of this kind of conformity arises when we come across people in distress.Would you help a woman who has been attacked in the street?It turns out that you are much more likely to go to her assistance if you are alone.When other people are also around,a diffusion ofresponsibility occurs. People are paralysed into inaction, because everyone assumes that someone else will go to the woman' s assistance.8. In Paragraph 1, the underlined word "conform" probablymeans“ ”A. seek independenceB. disobey ordersC. seek pleasureD. follow what others do9.What is the purpose of the experiment described in Paragraph 2? ToA. explain why people would be influenced by the opinions of othersB. prove that people are easily influenced by the opinions of othersC. train the confederates of the experimenter as independent-minded[来源:学+科+网Z+X+X+K]D. describe how people would be influenced by the opinions of others10. In the last paragraph, according to the author,why wouldn’t one help the woman ?He .A. thinks he has no responsibilities to give a handB.thinks he has has nothing to do with itC. is too shy to give his helping hand D .thinks someone elsewill offer assistance1l.What method does the author mainly use to develop the text?A. Giving examples.B. Cause-effect analysis.C. Comparative analysis.D. Process analysis.DA group of kids at McIntyre Elementary School, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, have created a special bench to make sure their fellow classmates aren’t left out on the playground. Called the “Bud dy Bench”, students can use the seat as a safe and supportive place to let others know they’d like to be included in playtime, but may be too shy to ask.The concept of the Buddy Bench is simple: Students who want t o partake in playground games and activities, but may feel hesitant, can take a seat, which signifies(表明) to other children on the playground that they may need something extra to encourage them to participate.The idea for the bench came about last year, when Farrell,school counselor at McIntyre Elementary, was conducting a leadership group to help students overcome shyness and gain confidence. Fourfourth-grade students came up with the idea for the Buddy Bench in this workshop, and worked with Farrell to draft a letter to present to the Parent Teacher Staff Organization to make the bench a reality. The PTSO approved the students’ proposal, and installed(安装) a bright metal bench with a cheerful sign that reads “Buddy Bench” on the school’s playground.Since it wa s installed on Nov. 16, the bench has been effective. The simple concept has resonated with(引起共鸣) the students, andalready has created a better environment within the school community.“Each day, I go to see the buddy bench working,” Farrell said. “The lessons they are learning now will benefit them their entire lives. It is simply a beautiful example of kids wanting to be kind and continue to be kind every day.”12. Who is Buddy Bench created for?A. Students who love games and activities.B. Students who want and continue to be kind.C. Students who are in Farrell’s leadership group.D. Students who are left out on the playground.13. Who thought of the idea for the Buddy Bench?A.

河北省武邑中学2015-2016学年高二英语下学期暑假作业试题〔9〕一阅读理解〔本大题共两节,共 40分)第一小节〔共15小题总分为30分〕AWhen a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no doubt that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.Certainly, most of the world's great religions order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But as the world changed? Maybe what was morally right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil (恶行) . Secondly, there is the worry that the money' you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one's sense of pride and self-dependence.Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.1. What is mainly discussed in the passage?A. Moral deeds of people.B. Religious activities of the church.C. Moral goodness of the giver.D. Arguments on giving to beggars.2. What can we infer from the sentence "But has the world changed?" in the second paragraph?A. People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.B. Some people will not do what was morally right in the past.C. We don't meet with those who need help any more.D. Now it is the government's duty to help the beggars.3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.B. Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.C. Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.D. Some beggars have no excuse for begging.4. In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any finalconclusion, because.A. the cases can be so differentB. there are so many beggarsC. there is so much money wastedD. there are so many different arguments.BStop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created: the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem (自信心). Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are always victims. They are leaves tossed (摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing (培育) the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks (挫折).In short, in all areas of your life, whether they are financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it. You are on the road to success.5. People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they ______.A. can’t exercise control over themselvesB. are easily affected bywindy weatherC. don’t have the power to face their fateD. are ready to change theirminds6. Losers would think that ______.A. success is the result of hard workB. working hard will lead tosuccessC. they fail only because of bad luckD. they don’t make efforts to succeed7. It can be inferred from the fifth paragraph that ______.A. setting our expectations is essential before taking actionB. knowing cause and effect is the key to future successC. thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mindD. whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes8. The last paragraph serves as ______.A. the proof of the author’s pointsB. the conclusion of theargumentC. an introduction to another topicD. a comparison between two views第二节〔共5小题，每一小题2分，总分为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优选项。

UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying voice across cultures.Despite the celebrations, though, in the US the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.It's Jason Moran's job to help change__that. As the Kennedy Center's artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.“Jazz seems like it's not really a part of the American appetite.” Moran tells National Public Radio's reporter Neal Conan. “What I'm hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and white anymore. It's actually color, and it's actually digital.”Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can't be presented today the way i t was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same.” says Moran.Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller's music for a dance party. “Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music，”says Moran. “For me, it's the recontextualization.In music, where does the emotion lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any insight(感悟) on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context，”says Moran. “So I want to continue those dialogues. Those are the things I want to foster.”( )26. What is the purpose of UNESCO to set April 30 as International Jazz Day?A. To emphasize the significance of jazz.B. To protect musical diversity.C. To remember the birth of jazz.D. To encourage people to study music.( )27. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The production of jazz growing faster.B. Jazz losing its appeal for the young.C. The jazz audience becoming larger.D. Jazz becoming more accessible.BWisconsin has long been home to incredibly successful research and innovation thanks to our famous academic research institutions and some of the brightestscientific minds. From discovering how Vitamin D can best be absorbed, to unlocking the potential of stem cells, Wisconsin has pioneered remarkable breakthroughs in science that have improved health, saved lives and created jobs. These scientific breakthroughs have not only led to life­saving medical technologies but also have fostered(培育) a strong power in Wisconsin economy.Across America, groundbreaking research supported by the National Institutes of Health(NIH) alone adds millions of dollars to our economy every year. In fact, NIH funding generated an estimated $58 billion in economic output nationwide in 2014. NIH funding spurs economic growth by supporting jobs in research and by generating biomedical innovations that are turned into new products. NIH­supported innovations also influence improvements in health that can bolster the economy, improve productivity, and reduce illness and disability at home and across the globe. But, budget cuts and inadequate funding for NIH in the past decade have put both medical innovation and our next generation of researchers at risk.Today, too many of our talented young scientists are deciding to do something else, or are leaving the country to pursue their research. Simply put, scientific and medical innovation depends on our ability to foster, support and invest in these new researchers.That is why I have worked across party lines with Senator Susan Collins of Maine and introduced the Next Generation(NextGen) Researchers Act. Our act builds opportunities for new researchers, helps address the debt burden that young scientists face today, and invests in the future of research, science, and innovation. This commonsense proposal would create the “Next Generation Researchers Initiative” within the NIH Office of the Director to coordinate(协调) all current and new NIH policies. The legislation(立法) also directs the NIH to consider recommendations from a National Academy of Sciences(NAS) comprehensive study and report on fostering the next generation of researchers.Finally, we must demonstrate a commitment to our future scientists who, like so many of their peers pursuing other fields, are struggling with crushing student loan debt. Our plan would also increase the amount of loans that can be forgiventhrough the NIH's loan repayment programs to better account for the current debt load of new scientists. Higher education should be a path to prosperity, not suffocating debt, and this provision not only helps make higher education more affordable, but can help give new researchers a fair shot at pursuing their dreams.The NextGen Researchers Act will help to empower our next generation of researchers from Maine to Wisconsin, and across our country, with the resources they need to continue to lead the world in groundbreaking biomedical research and development. I'm proud to have earned the support of the University of Wisconsin­Madison, the Medical College of W isconsin, and many others, for my bipartisan work supporting Wisconsin's leadership in science, research and innovation.At a time when America's young researchers are facing the worst funding in decades, our best and brightest minds deserve to know that our country stands with them and is committed to building a stronger future.( )28. Why does the author talk about Wisconsin in the first paragraph?A. To explain why some brightest scientific minds are rewarded for making contributions.B.

First­time mothers are more likely to be 35 or older than their counterparts(对应者) from two decades ago, according to the Pew Research Center. While the number of first­time moms between ages 20 and 24 falls, the number of births to women in their 30s and 40s keeps growing. In addition, recent wide­ranging studies have found significant long­term benefits in waiting to have babies. These benefits counterbalance(抵消) some worries about being an older mother and the effects it may have on children.Longevity for women who waitA study in the journal Menopause examined older mothers' life expectancy(寿命) and found that women who had their last child after the age of 33 are more likely to live to 95. In fact, researchers reported that these women had twice the chance of living to 95 or older than those who had their last child before their 30th birthday. The news for women having babies after 40 is equally promising.Boosted brainpower for older mothersIt's also possible that later pregnancies(怀孕) protect against cognitive decline. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that women have better brainpower if they have their last baby after age 35. The researchers looked at the pregnancy history of a group of 830 women ages 41 to 92. Their research provides strong evidence of a positive association between later age at last pregnancy and late­life cognition.Increased income over timeThere's a measurable link between the age you have your first child and income gains and losses. Women who start their families when they are older are likely to increase their earning potential.Educational and emotional support for childrenOlder parents who are less stressed about income or job security tend to be more patient and can spend more time with their children. Parents who have more secondary education can also offer more specific stimulation to their children, which can be helpful for development. An investigation of 8­ to 12­year­olds explored how specific parenting beliefs and behaviors—such as reading, constructive play and emotional support—affected child development. The research published in the Journal of Family Psychology found that parent education and income positively affect child achievement.31.____________ 32.____________ 33.____________ 34.____________ 35. ____________36.____________37.____________38.____________39.____________ 40. ____________五、书面表达请仔细阅读以下材料，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

高二英语作业（9）M5U3 Science Versus Nature编写:唐海霞审阅:韩萍预计用时:30分钟班级_____ 学号_____ 姓名________ **时文赏析Egyptian Michael Jackson: The limestone statue has gaunt cheeks, glaring eyes and - most strikingly - a tipless nose.(Agencies)Michael Jackson fans are flocking to a Chicago museum to see a 3,000 year old Egyptian model which looks remarkably like the late king of pop. Staff have been rushed off their feet since Jackson’s death as thousands of mourners visit the exhibition to pay tribute to the star.The limestone statue has gaunt cheeks and - most strikingly - a tipless nose. It is on display at the Inside Ancient Egypt exhibition at The Field Museum in the United States. The bust was bought in Cairo in 1889 and has been on display at the museum for 21 years.But its popularity has soared since Michael Jackson’s death after fans started writing about the ancient statue on internet blogs. The bust was carved during the New Kingdom Period, which ran between 1550 BC to 1050 BC. This was around the same time as famous Egyptians Ramesses and King Tut.The museum’s 4,500 daily visitors are banned from touching or kissing the statue, which is protected behind a glass screen. Astonished fans stand admiring the statue and discussing its likeness with others who have travelled to see it.Darnell Williams, the director of guest relations, said some fans were treating a visit to the museum like a pilgrimage. He said: "The statue has been here for years but interest has beenboostedsince M ichael Jackson’s death. People are coming from all over the country to see the statue and compare its likeness to the king of pop.“Many see it as a pilgrimage and as a way to pay tribute to his achievements. He had such a large influence on pop culture. Some fans are so desperate to see the model they are asking staff how to get to the Egypt exhibition before they have even bought their ticket."They want to touch and kiss the model like it is some sort of God but it is behind a screen to protect it fr om damage. Once people see it they are astounded and can’t stop talking about its likeness. It really is remarkable."James Phillips, curator of near east and north african exhibits, said little was known about the origins of the model.He said: "The likeness is astonishing but I think it is probably a coincidence. We do not believe Michael Jackson ever visited the museum or saw the exhibit and there is therefore little chance he based his image on it. We believe the model is missing a nose because early Christians or Muslims removed noses from paintings and models to make them non-human."This was because it was against their religion to depict human beings. In this case it has the effect of making it look more like Michael Jackson. The model was carved during the NewKingdom Period but we do not know who it is or why it was made because there are no hieroglyphics on it."The music video for Jackson’s 1993 hit "Remember the Time" was set in Egypt and starred Eddie Murphy. At the time of the video Jackson looked almost identical to the statue. The model, simply called ’limestone statue of a woman’, measures 25 cm high by 35 cm wide.**What makes the old Egyptian model look more like Michael Jackson?ACloning is suggested as a means of bringing back a relative, usually a child, killed tragically. Some parents can understand that wish, but it must first be recognized that the copy would be a new baby and not the lost child. Here lies the difficulty, for the sad parents are seeking not a new baby but a return of the dead one. Since the original would be fondly remembered as having particular talents and interests, would not the parents expect the copy to be the same? It is possible, however, that the copy would develop quite differently. Is it fair to the new child to be placed in a family with such unnatural expectations?Copying is also suggested as a means by which parents can have the child of their dreams. Couples might choose to have a copy of a film star, baseball player or scientist, depending on their interest. But because personality is only partly the result of genetic inheritance(遗传), conflicts would be sure to arise if the cloned child failed to develop the same interests as the original. What if the copy of Einstein shows no interest in science? Or the baseball player turns to acting? Success also depends upon fortune. What if the child does not live up to the hopes and dreams of the parents simply because of bad luck?Every child should be wanted for itself, as an individual. In making a copy of oneself or some famous person, a parent is deliberately（深思熟虑地）specifying(详细说明) the way he or she wishes that child to develop. In recent years, particularly in the U.S., much importance has been placed on the right of individuals to reproduce in ways that they wish. So I suggest there isa greater need to consider the interests of the child and to reject these proposed uses of cloning.1. What happens to parents in cloning a lost child?A. Parents expect too much from the copy.B. Parents may get a quite different copy.C. Parents are sure to have an identical copy.D. Parents lose the talents of the lost child.2. What, in the author’s opinion, affects the success of parents’ dreams?A. The cloned child’s interest in Einstein.B. The cloned child’s natural talent.C. The cloned child’s personality.D. The efforts of the parents.3. In the third paragraph, the author implies that ______.A. the cloned child is viewed as independentB. the right of growing in his own way is taken away from the cloned childC. parents carefully protect the rights of the cloned childD. parents are eager to wish the cloned child to be somebody.4. In this passage, the author is mainly concerned about ______.A. the future of a cloned childB. the possibility of cloning peopleC. the importance of cloning a lost childD. the problems of cloning lifeBWhat Will Happen to the Earth in the FutureThe year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet（彗星）is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the Earth.On July 17, a piece four kilometers wide enters the Earth’s atmosphere with a massive explosion. About half of the piece is destroyed, but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the seabed. Huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole. The wall of water, a kilometer high, rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned.Before the waves reach South America, the second piece of the most lands in Argentina. Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains. The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean. The cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by the earthquakes. Millions of people in the southern half of the Earth are already dead, but the north won’t escape for long. Because of the explosions, the sun is hidden by clouds of dust. Temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. The sun won’t be seen again for many years. Wars break out as countries fight for food.A year later, no more than 10 million people remain alive.Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs were on Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space. The dinosaurs couldn’t live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. Will we meet the same end?5. What is mainly described in the passage?A. A historic discoveryB. An event of imaginationC. A research on spaceD. A scientific adventure.6. When the first piece hits the South Atlantic, it causes_________.A. an earthquakeB. damages to citiesC. an Earth explosionD. huge waves7. Why can’t the northern half of the Earth escape for long?A.Because the land is covered with water.B.Because the light and heat from the sun cannot reach the Earth.C.Because people there cannot live at the temperature of zero.D.Because wars break out among countries.8. By giving the example of dinosaurs, the author tries to prove______.A.animals could not live in the cold climateB.what happened 65 million years ago was an invented storyC.the human beings will die out in 2094D.the Earth could be hit by other objects in spacecI’m beginning to think whether my grandmother was right when she complains, as she frequently does, that children nowadays aren’t as well-behavioured as they used to be. She recounts in detail how she used to be told to respect her elders and betters. She was taught to speak when she was spoken to and when she went out on her own, she was reminded to say please and thank you. Children in her days, she continues, were expected to be seen and not heard, but these days you are lucky if you ever hear parents telling their children to mind her manners.If you give her the chance she then takes out of her writing desk, the old photograph album which she keeps there, and which she never tires of displaying. Of course when you look at pictures of her parents you feel sure that, with a father as strict looking as that, you too would have been “ seen and not heard”. Beside him sits his wife, with their children around her; Granny and her elder brothers. It always occurs to me that perhaps those long, stiff, black clothes w ere so burdensome (heavy) to a little girl that she hadn’t enough breath left to be talkative, let alone mischievous (淘气的). It must have been a dull and lonely life too, for she stayed mainly at home during her childhood, while her brothers were sent to school from an early age.However, my childhood was much freer than Granny’s. I went to school with my brother. I played football with him and his friends. We all spoke a common language, and we got up to the same mischief. I would have died if I had had to stay indoors, wearing tight, stiff clothes.9. The writer thinks that her grandmother _________.A. makes mistakes about the youthB. complains too much about her childhoodC. received good education at schoolD. led an unhappy life when she was a child10. When Granny was young, children were expected ________.A. to speak to the elders loudlyB. to hear and not to seeC. to be present quietlyD. to stay still and study11. This passage is mainly about ________.A. Granny’s life story in the pastB. Granny's complaints about the childrenC. women’s life in different timesD. children in the past and at present高二英语作业（9）答案ACBD BDBD DCD。
