14-15学年牛津高二上学期B1U1阶段测试IClass: _______ N ame: _______ Marks: _____ 满分（85）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）AMaking choices is necessary, but not always easy. Many of our expressions tell about this difficulty.One of these expressions is “Hobson's choice"・ It is often used to describe a difficult choice・ But that is not what it really means. Its real meaning is to have no choice at all. The Hobson in the expression was Thomas Hobson. Mr.Hobson owned many horses in Cambridge・ Mr. Hobson often rented his horses to the students at Cambridge University. But he dicing really trust them to take good care of the horses. So, he had a rule that prevented the students from riding his best horses. They could take the horse that was nearest the stable door. Or, they could not take any horse at all. Thus, a Hobson^s choice was really no choice・Another expression for having no real choice is "between a rock and a hard placet It is often used to describe a difficult situation with few choices — none of them is good・ For example, your boss may ask you to work late. But you have plans to go to a movie with your friends・ If you refuse to work, your boss may get angry. But if you do not go to the movies with your friends, they may get angry. So what do you do? You are "caught between a rock and a hard placetAnother expression 一"between the devil and the deep blue sea" — also gives you a choice between two equally dangerous things. Its meaning seems clear. You can choose the devil and his burning fires of hell. Or, you can choose to drown in the sea. Some experts in lexicology（词V匚学）say the expression comes from the days of wooden ships. The “devil” is a word for a seam between two pieces of wood along the waterline of a ship・ If the seam or crack between the two pieces of wood begins to leak（漏），then a sailor must fix it. The sailor ordered to make the repairs was in a dangerous situation. He was hung over the side of the ship, working "between the devil and the deep blue sea”・There is still another expression that describes a situation with only bad choices —u on the horns of a dilemma"（左右为难）.The dictionary says a dilemma is a situation in which you must make a decision between two equally balanced choices・ When your dilemma has horns（角人making a choice becomes impossible・When you are “on the horns of a dilemma，； no matter which horn you choose, something bad will happen.1.We could learn from Mr. Hobson，s story that he ____ .A.wanted to leach the students a lessonB.liked to make things difficult for the studentsC.didn^t permit the students to ride his best horsesD.didn't know the students were good at riding horses2.The underlined word “seanT in Paragraph 4 refers to _____ ・A.the line where two pieces of wood meetB.the piece of wood which begins to leakC・ lhe side of the ship which was being hung overD. the sailor ordered to repair the broken side of the ship3・ Which of the following expressions doesn't mean bad choices?A.Between the devil and the deep blue sea.B・ Hobson，s choice・C・ Between a rock and a hard place・D. On the horns of a dilemma.BThe bell rings and in a few moments, the most disordered part of the day begins — lunch. Food begins to be dished out, and some students are eager to see their friends, while others cannot bear the thought of what is about to happen. Anxiety（焦虑）builds for many as they think today will be just like any other day. Press repeat and this happens every day.But Bridport Elementary in Bridport introduced a system to solve this classic scene of loneliness and meet new friendships・ There9s hardly room for the ques tion, “Will you save me a seat?99 at Bridport Elementary, where students are guided to assigned（指左白勺）tables and given the opportunity to open their hearts and minds to a new friend・ The school's president Kilbourne had observed too many days in which the same kids were left alone, while the others were always accompanied by friends. Something had to change・The school gives a new system in which students line up to pick a numbered stick before getting their food. Each stick has a number that's linked with a table, showing where they will eat lunch for the day.This system was used five months ago. Today, if you walked into the cafeteria, you wouldn^t find any numbers or any sticks. Kilbourne made a promise to the students that the system would eventually disappear if she saw that students learned to value inclusivity（包容）and friendship.People really saw a change・ A girl was walking around by herself with her lunch in her hand, and four tables asked her to join them. At another table, a kindergartener was sitting alone for just a few mo me nts before two sixth graders came over to sit with him, and actively included him in conversation.Now we are left wondering: how can lessons learned from the cafeteria be used elsewhere? Students and adults all over the country could benefit from an approach in which every person is always welcome at the table in any situation.4・ What inspired the president of Bridport Elementaiy to introduce the system?A.Students didn't speak to friends at a table.B.Students didn't manage to get a seat in the cafeteria・C・ Students had no one to communicate with in a crowd・D. Students had little interest in lunch due to the pressure of study.5・ Why could no numbers or sticks be found in the cafeteria?A.Because students were tired of them.B.Because they didn't work out as expected・C.Because they were replaced by something else.D.Because there was no need for them any more・6. What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the passage?A.The benefits of the system.B.The disadvantages of the system.C.The wider use of the system.D.The lessons learned from the system.CGood luck symbols and their meaningsRich or poor, happy or sad, the only thing that holds us together is luck. Let^s have a look at the meanings of some luck symbols.Bamboo is often connected with growth not only in terms of wealth, but also in terms of relationships, careers and life in general・That is why people believepresenting bamboo to another person is akin to presenting the person with good luck・Considered to be one of the gods of wealth by the Buddhists, the Buddha isconnected with prosperity（繁荣），success and financial gains. Placing theBuddha diagonally（成对角线地）opposite the main door activates and greets thegood energy entering the house・ While the Buddha is admired for his happiness,completeness and wisdom of contentment, rubbing his stomach is believed to bringgood luck・A symbol of fertility and rebirth, presenting someone with eggs is consideredlucky. A brown egg is connected with not just luck but also happiness. Eggs are alsoused to encourage the growth of crops, protect young children from misfortune andalso as a means to keep away from the evil eye・A ladybug is a symbol of patience, good health and wealth. A ladybug that landson a person is said to take away the illness. A ladybug landing herself on a recentlymarried woman brings happiness and joy.Call them the luck bringers, for spotting a penny lying on the floor is indeed your luck. You know the saying, "Find a penny, pick it up, and all that day you'll have goodluck!”There are many more symbols of good luck. However, one should never rely completely on these symbols for success, and should view them as just con fide nee boosters ・ Good Luck!7. The underlined word u akin" probably means _____A. due B・ useful C. similar D. harmful8.Which of the following can bring us good luck?A.Keeping a ladybug as a pet.B.Rubbing the Buddha9s stomach・C.Dropping a penny to the floor.D.Placing the Buddha against the main door.9.According to the text, a brown egg ______ .A.may invite the evil eyeB.is not a sign of good luckC.can bring people happinessD・ is more delicious than ordinary ones10.What does the author tell us in the last paragraph?A.Learn how to get good luck・B.Learn more symbols of good luck.C・ Try hard to build up our confidence・D.Rely on ourselves rather than the luck symbols・DWhen people ask me what I want to do when I grow up, I say, “I want to change the world and find happiness.” That/s a hard one, don% you think? In a world full of war, poverty and hatred（仇恨）,if s definitely not possible. Well，that's what some people say.But you know what I think? There is hope・ And you find happiness everywhere 一old couples who've been together for a long time, little kids running around the playground, inspirational books, little babies, changes of seasons — I find happiness in every single little thing. I find it every minute.Around me, I find people of my age, doing drugs, going to parties 一just to gain attention. We're so busy being selfish, comparing ourselves to others, setting unrealistic goals for ourselves, wanting to look prettier, lose more weight, make more money, and be more popular. But then I think, is that really what life's all about? There are innocent kids out there, being abused, poor, and hungry・ And here we all are complaining about how hard our lives are.Most of us are always depressed and unhappy・ Why do we always try to run away from our problems, rather than just facing them? I mean this is life! You cannot run away from it, and you cannot hide from it definitely・ All we can do is to accept what life gives us, and face our problems, difficulties and frustrations （挫折）• And maybe, just maybe, they'll turn into your best friends. They'll make you stronger, they'll help you face reality and they'll teach you to value the little things in life.Because we always fail to look at the brighter side of things, we always fail to find happiness in little things. There are so many beautiful things around which we seldom notice. Maybe that is why people can't find happiness; we keep looking for it in the wrong places — money, fame and so on."FIND" happiness ——we all think it's some sort of destination. We keep “looking" for it; we wake up every day wishing it would be the day when everything goes right.What we all fail to understand is that happiness isn't really something that we can “fincT・ IFs not a destination, it's not something you find along the road of life; it's a choice, a feeling — you can be happy wherever, whenever, only if you choose to be. Happiness is something within you, waiting to be found, waiting to help you escape from this harsh reality・So here are your questions:Are you happy?Have you found what you are looking for?Do you think life is hard?Have a great day, and I hope yoif re happy with whatever you do. Life can be hard at times, but I hope you find the strength to face whatever it gives you.11 • What does the author think about the idea of changing the world?A. Hard.B. Easy.C. Possible.D. Impractical・12.According to the third paragraph, many of the authors peers ______ .A.are popular and admiringB.have a bad attitude to lifeC・ suffer from extreme povertyD・ are very generous and wealthy13.Why do most people feel very unhappy?A.They might live a poor life・B.They have difficulty getting best friends.C.They fail to value friendship with others.D.They lack the courage to face difficulties.14.Which of the following is TRUE about happiness according to the author?A.

AWords pour into the English language all the time.New ones pop up continually in newspapers，television，radio，and recently，the World Wide Web.They are added to the tens of thousands already in existence.An educated native speaker of English—whether from the U．S.，Britain，Australia，or any country where English is the main language of communication—knows at least 30，000，which is only a part of the overall number that exist.Around 20，000 words are learnt by English native speakers by the age of 13.Ideally，students of English need this number of words in order to write or talk about the various topics they might need to discuss.But which words should people know? This changes constantly as fresh topics become newsworthy，and produce new lexical items (words，groups of words，or words with new meanings)．Students of English need to learn these new additions to the language，and also get an explanation of what they mean.A good way to do this is to consult an online dictionary.But for people who do not have access to the World Wide Web，the lexicographers and publishers of the dictionaries have created this New Words supplement to help students with these new words.Words come into the language in three major ways.First，they may enter English as loanwords，words taken into English from another language，or sometimes from a regional dialect or another variety of English.English has accepted words from many different languages.Second，new words can be created by word formation，when words are formed by taking existing words，or pieces of words，and putting them together to make new ones (for example，chat room or change management)．Third，new words can come from layering(分层)，when an existing word splits into more than one meaning.This results in polysemy．1．An educated Australian probably knows ________words to communicate and show their opinions freely.A．at least 20，000B．less than 20，000C．at least 5，000D．at least 30，000D解析：细节理解题。

It was raining, and my dad told me that I had to make five free throws（投球）one after another without a break before I could go home. I was ten years old at that time. So I shot （投球）until 1 indeed made five free throws. Pretty soon the number of free throws increased until 1 got to high school and I had to make seventy-five before I could leave the gym・I used to get mad when I reached the required amount and I would miss the next one, but my dad made me start over, saying tha t I missed it on purpose• So in high school I would usually get to 120 before I stopped. My highest ever was 175・ I never expected this would ever bring me some benefit, but one game really changed my idea.Our school team was playing basketball match with Royal High School, and we lost the game by twenty points a week earlier, so this game was all about revenge（报仇）.With two minutes left in the game, my team was up by six and their coach told them to foul（犯规）.Our coach immediately put forward a perfect plan — giving the ball to me every time・ And every time my teammates gave me the ball, the other team would foul me. Then I went to the free throw line and made two free throws successfully. I ended up going ten-for-ten that game all in the last two minutes. The final score was 57-50 and we won.1.We can learn from the first two paragraphs that ______ .A.the authors father was very strict with himB.the author^ father wanted him to create a recordC・ the author had to make five free throws every dayD・ the author could make 75 free throws at the age of 102.How many times was the author fouled?A.Ten.B. Seven.C. Six.D. Five.3.What can we learn from the text?A.The author could make fifty free throws within two minutes・B・ The author's hard work brought a good result in the game.C・ The author's coach didn^t know the author had the talent.D. Royal High School team was stronger than the authors team.BHaving attended a first-aid-at-work course, Brian Cracknell soon found himself responding to two emergencies in a week・Brian was at work in his bus company office in Weston-super-Mare on May 18 when a colleaguecalled to say there had been an accident at a bus stop nearby. He ran to the scene with his first aid kit and found an old lady sitting at the bus stop. When boarding（上车）the bus, the old lady painfully hurt her left leg, which was bleeding・He introduced himself, and asked some basic first aid questions to get a general picture of her health. Then he put his jacket on the floor, using the lady's coat as a pillow, and gently laid her down so he could raise her legs and apply some bandages. Bryan said, "At first 1 was a bit woiried about remembering to do all the right things. I made sure she was as comfortable as possible] When he had nearly finished, he told the lady that she was his first one・ The lady said he was doing a great job・Just a week later, Brian got a second call-out to help another lady at a bus stop・Having used his new skills twice within a short time, Brian has decided to sign up as a Red Cross first aid volunteer・ As he said, "I just thought: what9s the point in having this knowledge if Pm not going to use it? It felt really good to help those people・ I was so proud of myself afterwards, so Pm going to join the Red Cross.^^4.Before helping the old lady, Brian _____ ••A・ had given first aid on many peopleB.was thought to be a skilled first aid volunteerC・ knew nothing about how to handle an emergencyD. had learnt first aid skills but hadn't put them into practice5・ What was wrong with the old lady when Brian arrived?A.Her legs were bleeding after being injured・B・ Her left leg was injured and was bleeding・C・ She fell onto the ground and hurt her head・D.

For women, the company prefers a bob with a longer fringe（刘海）that can be swept to one side. This unusual request is its effort to help the country save energy.The spokeswoman for the Tokyo-based construction firm Maeda Corporation Chizuru Inoue explained, 440ur company is eager to protect the environment and we encourage our staff to carry out many environment-friendly actions.'5She added, "We are not sure of the data yet, but we believe if people have short hair, they do not need to use their hair driers for so long and they will use less water. If all our employees do this, then we may save a lot of power?5 Some staff are confused about which style they must have and have been asking which salons （美容院）give the best cut.The energy-saving move is part of a national campaign to reduce energy consumption（消耗）following the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Japan has been struggling to produce enough electricity since the tsunami ended production at the Fukushima plants. The disaster resulted in a review of the country，s energy policy that now means less than a quarter of its remaining nuclear plants are in use. The government has talked about a move away from nuclear energy towards more sustainable（能持续的）technologies. Many government departments have taken measures to save power, including a reduced use of air conditioning in offices and schools・ Many employees cannot turn down the air conditioner below 27 degrees in the hottest summer months.8.The company gave the order of hairstyles to _____ •A.keep the company offices cleanB・ show a good image of the businessC.make the staff look tidy and prettyD.help reduce energy consumption9・ After the Fukushima nuclear disaster, Japan ____ .A.is building more nuclear plantsB.has to rethink its energy policyC・ limits people's daily energy useD・ decides to close old nuclear plants10.1（ can be inferred from the text that ____ ・A.nuclear power forms 1/4 of Japan's energyB.nuclear plants will soon disappear in JapanC.the company is not alone in saving energyD.other companies have copied the "hairstyle order"11 • What would be the best title for the text?A・ Sustainable power is welcome in JapanB.Nuclear disaster brings bad resultsC・ Short hairstyles may help save energyD.Japan is lacking in energyDIt turns out that nodding曲（睡觉）in class may not be a bad idea, as a new study has shown that going to sleep shortly after learning new materials is the best way to remember them.According to US lead author Jessica Payne, a psychologist at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, nodding off after learning something new is like "telling^ the sleeping brain what to remember. Along with colleagues, she studied 207 students who slept for at least six hours per night. Students were randomly（随机土也）assigned to study something declarative（I冻述的）at 9 am or 9 pm, and returned for testing 30 minutes, 12 hours or 24 hours laterDeclarative memory refers to the ability to consciously（方•意识土也）remember facts and events, and can be divided into memory for events and memory for facts about the world. People use both types of memory every day — remembering where they parked today or learning how a colleague prefers to be called.At the 12-hour retest, memory was better following a night of sleep compared to a day of wakefulness （^RR）. At the 24-hour retest, with all students having received both a full night of sleep and a full day of wakefulness, students' memories were greater when sleep happened shortly after learning rather than following a full day of wakefulness・"Our study confinns that sleeping directly after learning something new is beneficial for memory. What's special for this study is that we have shown sleep^s influence on declarative memory/5 Payne said. "Since we found that sleeping soon after learning benefited both types of memory, this means that it would be a good thing to go over any information you need to remember before going to bed. In some sense, you may be telling the sleeping brain what to consolidate（巩固）112.What's the main idea of the text?A. How to improve one's memory is a difficult problem.B・ Nodding off after learning something new helps remember itC.Students should nod off in class after they learn new materials・D.The best way to remember new materials is to nod off in class.13.We can learn about the study that _____ •A.Jessica Payne and her colleagues were testedB.207 students were eager to take the testC・ it tested students studying something declarativeD. peopled memory can be divided into two types14.Paragraph 4 mainly tells us _____ .A.students' memories are the best if they sleep for 12 hours each dayB.sleeping for 24 hours contributes to improving students' memoriesC.a full day of wakefulness can make students' memories improved greatlyD・ students' memories are better when sleep happens shortly after learning15.What suggestion does Payne give in the last paragraph?A.The more you sleep, the more you remember.B.Go over what you want to remember before going to bed.C.Teachers should allow their students to sleep in class-D・ If you want to improve your memory, you should sleep.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口处的最佳选项。

"Getting to experience fire-fighting is really cool and something that most people don't get to do/5 says Michelle. Michelle and eight other teenage girls took part in the three-day camp offered by the Arlington County Fire Department located just outside of Washington. Firefighter Clare Burley was in charge of the program. “The purpose of the camp is to try to get young women interested in considering the fire service as a job/ she says.The free-of^charge9 overnight camp was designed to let the girls experience what firefighters do to protect the city. They took classes and learned how to climb the ladder on a fire truck, operate emergency tools and rescue an injured person・ They also did their share of cleaning the firehouse and the equipment.Firefighting is still a male-dominated （男'性主导白勺）service, but Burley says with 32 women in its force of 320, the Arlington Fire Department is above the national average of 4.5 percent. Clare Burley joined the department seven years ago. "Women are generally weaker than men physically, but we do everything that the guys do to the same standard（标准）.We are tested to the same standard. We are expected to operate to the same standard/^ she says・Most of the girls say they never thought about becoming a firefighter, but the camp was a great learning experience. By spending three days together, they also made new friends and had a lot of fun.36.What do wc know about the firefighting camp?A.Some boys were also involved in it.B.It was one of those common summer camps・C.It was provided for teenage girls without any fees.D.Its aim was to choose some new firefighters from the girls.37.What can we infer from the text?A.Women firefighters work fewer hours than men firefighters.B.It is not dangerous for women firefighters to carry out their duty.C.It requires women firefighters to train harder than men firefighters.D.The standards set for women and men firefighters arc not the same.3& The percentage of women firefighters in the Arlington Fire Department is ______ ・A. 4.5%B. 10%C. 15%D. 20%BTrees also suffer from stress Just as people do. Sounds unbelievable, isn，t it? So, how do you know if your tree is stressed? Trees actually speak quite loudly when they are stressed; you just need to learn how to listen.If your tree is wilting（枯萎），it probably needs water or you might be watering it too much. Unfortunately, under- or over-watering shows the same signs. However, a little research work will have the problem solved in no time ・ Giving your tree proper water is a good idea .If you have a drip irrigation system G商灌系统），make sure it is working properly. If your tree is not quite right, with spots on the leaves or other unusual discolorations, look over your tree carefully. These are signs of insects, disease or nutrient problems. Look onthe undersides of the leaves, as these are where they like to hide in.You should have the right species for your climate and soils. Nutrient problems will appear if your soil is not right for the tree・ If the climate is not suitable, a tree is stressed from too much or too little water and it sends out signals to insects, which take advantage of its weaknesses・ Insects weaken the tree even more, and then diseases take hold.Trees will show signs of stress, such as dropping bark（树皮）or leaves when their roots are disturbed. At this time, do not decide the tree needs fertilizer. Feeding a sick tree with too much fertilizer will just make it sicker. Sometimes you love your plants to death. Too much fertilizer may make your tree grow faster, but fast growth upsets a tree5s tender balance・ The faster a tree grows, the less energy it has for defense against insects and disease・39.The underlined word "discolorations^ in Paragraph 2 probably means ______ .A. signs of good health B・ strange appearancesC. the change or loss of colorD. the bad smells that plants give out40.Which of the following proverbs can be used to describe the situation in Paragraph 3?A.Never judge a book by its cover・B.Out of sight, out of mind.C.Troubles never come alone・D.A chain is no stronger than its weakest link.41 ・ Dropping bark or leaves probably shows that _____・A.the tree is seriously lacking in waterB.the root of the tree is negatively affectedC.the tree has been badly attacked by insectsD・ the tree is in great need of various nutrients42.What may happen if you give a tree too much fertilizer?A.It will soon be killed by the fertilizer.B.It will lose its ability to fight against insects.C.It will lose its ability to keep standing in the wind.D.Its growth and development will completely stop.cNew York teenager Timothy Doner has an unusual hobby. He likes to learn languages・ The 17-year-old has mastered 23 languages now. While this has earned him the title of the world's youngest nolvslot. he is still not satisfied•Timothy's quest（追求）to learn languages began in 2009 after completing basic Hebrew （希彳白来语）lessons in preparation for his Bar Mitzvah ceremony・ He enjoyed it so much that he decided to become fluent in modern Hebrew. Longing for more, he then picked up Arabic. Within four days, he managed to master the alphabet and the ability to read the language fluently. After that, he couldn't stop himself from learning morelanguages・Over the years, he has added Russian, Farsi, Hausa, Italian, Persian, Swahili, Indonesian, Hindi, Pashto, Turkish, Kurdish, Yiddish, Dutch, Croatian, Spanish and German to his languages・ The list does not include the ones that he has taken up at school in the past several years, which include French, Mandarin, Latin, and of course English. The most amazing part is that he has managed to learn all the additional languages on his own, using just online apps and grammar books・The teenager begins by learning how to pronounce the alphabet correctly and then teaching himself the correct grammar. He then strengthens this by reading newspapers and talking with people who speak that language^ either in person or on Internet chat rooms. In order to attract other people with similar skills and interest, he has even started posting videos of himself speaking different languages on YouTube・ He is now in constant contact with 31 -year-old Ohio resident Moses McMormick, who has mastered 50 languages・Timothy's next goal is to conquer Sudanic and Malay. He says that his language skills come in quite handy when he is on subway, walking around New York City or even while at a restaurant.43.The underlined word “polyglot” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to someone who ______ ・A. is considered well-roundedB. can speak various languagesC・ is considered to be a bookworm D・ never gets satisfied with his life44.What do we know about Timothy Doner?A.He didn't like learning new languages when he was learning modem Hebrew・B.He tried to speak modern Hebrew fluently to prepare for a ceremony.C・ It took him only several years to master over twenty languages.D.He learnt his first foreign language by himself.45.It is implied in the text that Timothy Doner _______ .A・ showed no gift for language learning when he was at schoolB.doesn't have teachers to teach him the additional languagesC.spends almost all his time learning these languages every dayD.doesn't know why he wants to leam these languages46.What can wc learn from the last paragraph?A.Timothy Doner finds it really difficult to leam a language・B.Timothy Doner is no longer interested in mastering any other languages・C・ Timothy Doner makes use of daily occasions to improve his language skills・D.Timothy Doner likes talking with strangers on subway.DActive listening is the art of listening to another person's feelings and then reflecting them back. Active listening docs not require that you agree with your children's feelings, but it allows your children to feel connected and understood and provides them with an opportunity to explore those mysterious impulses（J1）1 动）known as emotions.Four-year-old Chrissy ran through the front door, slamming（砰土也关上）it so forcefully that the picturesfell off the wall. T hate Tammy!" she cried• Then Chrissy threw herself onto the sofa in a storm of sobs（扌由泣）.Her mom, Diane, looked up from the bills she was going to pay. Resisting the impulse to scold（责骂）Chrissy for slamming the door, she asked quietly, "What's the matter with you, Chrissy?"Chrissy said sadly，"Tammy took my ball! Tammy is bigger than me. It isn't fair for her to take away my ball.""It must be pretty upsetting to be picked on by a big girl," Diane said. "Yeah. Pm mad/* the little girl said firmly, T don't want to play with her anymore?5She sat quietly for a moment, watching as Diane put stamps on envelopes・ After a while, Chrissy said, "Mom, can I go to play out in the backyard?" Diane gave her daughter a hug. Chrissy left, seeming to forget her anger.By simply reflecting back her daughter's underlying feelings, Diane allowed Chrissy the opportunity to explore what was going on for her, and in the process, Chrissy discovered a solution to her own problem. Some other time, Diane might be able to talk with Chrissy about avoiding future problems一and perhaps tell her what she could do to express her anger instead of slamming the door.Like most adults, sometimes what children really need is for someone to listen and understand・ Active listening opens the door for real connection, problem-solving and works towards building a lifelong relationship of love and trust・47.This text is intended for ______ .A・ teachers B. parents C. children D. students48.How did Chrissy feel when she entered the room?A・ Very happy. B・ Very peaceful.C.Very angry.D. Very disappointed・49 ・ What do we know about Tammy?A. She is older than Chrissy.B. She is younger than Chrissy・C・ She is weaker than Chrissy・D.

They have to pass their exams, and if they pass their exams, then there is a much better possibility to get a job, especially in the golfing industry,” said Ostle.In the South Africa Golf Association, 25 percent of the players in the junior section turn professional after three years.

At present, it is held by American kite surfer Rob Douglas, who reached 55.65 knots (about 103 kilometres per hour) over the required 500 meter course in 2010.The craft may be using the latest technology, but its concept (理念) is based on a craft that was written about nearly five decades ago. American rocket scientist Bernard Smith wrote about a sailboat in 1963 that he believed could reach 40 knots —a concept that was well ahead of his time. Larsen’s team tracked down Smith in 2007 to tell the then 97-year-old that they had broken the 40 knots, using the ideas Smith came up with 44 years earlier. Based on that design, they have since been able to go 50 knots and are pushing to go even faster.“It is dangerous,” Larsen admits. “You go out there and you don’t realize the consequences if the smallest thing goes wrong.” The worst crashes are the ones when the boat dives directly into the water. “That’s a killer. At least in the air you slow down.” Although there is some danger, Larsen and his team won’t stop until they hit the 60 knot mark and take with it the world speed sailing record.41. Larsen hopes to realize his dream to .A. set a new world speed sailing recordB. design a craft which can fly and sailC. win a gold medal in the Olympic GamesD. put his Vestas Sailrocket 2 into market42. To challenge the record, a competitor must .A. make a boat of special paperB. sail the boat designed by himselfC. go through half a kilometer courseD. make use of the latest technology43. What can we infer from the text about Bernard Smith?A. He was a professional sailor himself.B. He instructed Larsen’s work now and then.C. He designed the boat particularly for Larsen.D. He got to know his concept proved to be a success.44. The most dangerous moment comes when Larsen’s boat .A. reaches the highest speedB. gets into water from the airC. starts to fly into the airD. slows down in the air45. What would be the best title for the text?A. The world speed sailing competitionB. A flying boat is coming into our lifeC. Rocket scientist Bernard Smith’s dreamD. Newly-designed boat challenges the recordCHippies (嬉皮士) were part of a youth movement, made up of young adults between the ages of 15 and 25. These youngsters or hippies criticized middle class values. Hippies were in favor of peace, love, and personal freedom over political and social systems. The hippies fashion was popular with the youth across the United States in the 1960s. The hippies designed a whole new lifestyle of their own.The 1960s’ hippies fashion included the dressing styles which the youth of today are interested in. These teenagers decorated themselves with flowers in their hair. They enjoyed body painting and tattoo body art. Not much of this was ever appreciated by the older generation. The men wore long, loose hair like the women. They tried to show off themselves and didn’t care about what others thought about them. In the 1960s’, the hippies fashion offered a very informal and casual look.The fashion clothing was a form against traditional cultures. The personal expressions of people resulted in the styles that had great influence on the world today. They wore bell-bottom jeans, and T-shirts were part of everyday wear. Women wore long skirts and dresses. Short skirts were worn with knee-high boots, while the long skirts were considered better matched with sandals (凉鞋). They were used to represent peace and love. Artificial flowers and real flowers were worn in the hair.During the hippies movement, men and women grew their hair long, contrary to popular belief. Usually hair was parted in the middle. During this time period, long sideburns (鬓角) were the thing for men. Fashionaccessories (饰品) for women during the time also included bandanas and other headgear, scarves. Hippies decorated their hair with flowers or little hair clips or a colorful headband across their forehead. The long easy flowing hair tied back a thin ribbon became popular throughout the 1960s.Women’s jewelry was mostly influenced by Native American or any similar handmade designs. Sporting any necklace with beads was hugely popular. Jewelry that made music was highly desirable since music was a basic part of the hippies scene. Necklaces and jangly ankle bracelets were popular among women. In general, the ankles received a lot of attention, especially amongst those living on the warm west coast, because many hippies preferred to go barefoot (赤脚的).Hippies fought back the ugliness of the Second World War and turned the attention of fashion towards natural beauty as much as possible. The youth movement affected the teen fashion industry in a major way. The hippies fashion keeps changing with time, but women who found their own individuality and style in the 1960s have never let it go and passed much of their own hippies influence on to their daughters.46. What does this passage mainly tell us?A. The hippies fashion in the 1960s.B. The hippies dress and hair styles.C. How hippies movement came about.D. People’s ideas about hippies.47.
