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。
14-15学年牛津高二上学期B5U2阶段测试IIClass: _______ N ame: ______ Marks: _____ 满分（85）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分4（）分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AIt all started off with five. 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. She was knocked down by a bus and lost her legs.6.What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?A.The reason why Brian was asked to help・B.Brian handled two emergencies in a week.C.How Brian gave first aid on the old lady.D.How the old lady reacted to Brian's performance・7.After using his first aid skills twice, Brian _____ .A.was discouraged and decided to give upB.realized he still had a lot of things to learnC.decided to give up his job for the Red CrossD・ decided to help more people with his first aid skillscA Japanese company has ordered all of its 2/700 employees to get identical（一模一样的）hairstyles.For men, the preferred cut is short on the sides and back but longer on top. 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. What is the hippies’ attitude towards the political systems at their time?A. Supportive.B. Negative.C. Objective.D. Subjective.48. Which one is TRUE about the hippies fashion?A. The hippies didn’t share the same ideas with the older generation.B. The hippies were interested in large and comfortable clothing.C. The hippies didn’t want to follow their parents’ ideas about dressin g.D. The hippies wanted to create something new to attract the world.49.

So, Shanghai was responsible for cleaning and protecting the lower reaches of the Chang Jiang River but had no say in how the river J s upper reaches, which feed into Shanghai, are maintained.The new law will make it easier to control the amount of waste that ends up in local rivers and reduce inefficient use of waterways, said Zhang Jia-yi, director of the Shanghai Water Affairs Bureau, on the bureau' s website commenting on law yesterday.Zhang said the new law focuses on the efficient use of water sources and emphasizes the harmoniously皆）development of China" s population, its economy and environment.Zhang also emphasizes the city will crack down on companies and individuals that pollute the city" s water sources. The bureau sets up a special force to investigate^water pollution in March.So far this year, the bureau has published more than 3 million in fines on various polluters, Zhang said ・36.The best title for the news report should be _____ •A.A new Law Is BornB. A New Water Law to Protect RiversC. Is it Necessary to Protect the RiversD.

Each year, about 44,000 peoplecome to see the holiday decorations or to attend holiday parties at the President" s home in Washington, DCI was able to attend a press preview of the holiday decorations recently, which was hosted by First Lady Laura Bush. This year" s theme for the decorations is "All Things Bright and Beautiful.v The decorations are all made of fresh flowers, garlands（花环and fruits. The flowers will have to be changed every few days to keep the look fresh.The main Christmas tree is in the Blue Room. It" s an foot fir tree一tall enough that the chan-delier（吊灯）had to be removed to make room for it. Fresh white M伽（百合）,crystal garlands, and white lights decorate the White House Christmas tree. The room smells of pine and lilies.Mrs. Bush was asked whether she called the tree a holiday tree or a Christmas tree. “We know that Americans celebrate the season in a lot of different ways,” she said. “ We' II have a party and a reception here at the White House later during the month. But I think we" ve always called this the White House Christmas tree< ”Another centerpiece of the decorations each year is the gingerbread（姜饼屋），made by chiefThaddeus Dubois. “This is his second gingerbread house,v Mrs. Bush said. “And this year Dubois painstakingly^it!l. 辛勤地）made it special." The gingerbread house was made with 100 pounds of gingerbread, 150 pounds of white and dark chocolate, and clear, poured sugar windows.A strand of white lights inside the Gingerbread White House made it glow.40.Mrs. Bush chose “All Things Bright and Beautiful” as the theme for the decorations toA. highlight nature^ beautyB. show the great wealth of the familyC. express her love of the countryD. differ from other peopled ideas41.Which of the following can probably be used to describe the White House after the decorations?A.

Even more importantly, they" re No.l weather-related killer. A flood can happen anywhere along the Mississippi, in New England, even in the desert.The following are some fascinating facts about floods and flash floods.A flood （commonly called river flood） is high flow of water from a river or similar body of water, happening over a period of time too long to be considered a flash flood. Flooding is caused in many ways. Winter or spring rains, together with melting snows, can fill rivers too quickly. Heavy rains from hurricanes or other tropical（热带白勺）systems can also produce river flooding. The Mississippi River Flood of 1993 was caused by repeated heavy rain from thunderstorms over a period of weeks.Flash floods are quickly-rising floods which are usually the result of heavy rains over a short period of time, often only several hours or even less. They can also be caused by ice jams （冰塞）on rivers related to a winter or spring melting, or occasionally even a dam break. The constant influx （V匚集）of water finally caused a great overflow to begin, powerful enough to sweep vehicles away, roll big stones into roadways, uproot trees, level（夷平）buildings, and knock bridges down. The speed of the rising of water is the most frightening.Do remember: Move to higher ground and stay away from low areas during heavy rain. Stay out of flooded areas. Never allow children especially to play or walk in flowing water. Never drive your car into water of unknown depths.43.What is the best title for the passage?A. The power of floodsB. The damage of floodsC・ The occurrence of floods D. The facts about floods44.The last paragraph is mainly about _____ •A. flood safety tipsB. the reasons for floodsC. the waste water systemsD. the swift flood waters45.According to the passage, people are afraid of ____ most during flash floods.A. the constant influx of waterB. the sudden occurrence of flash floodsC. the quick rising waterD. the great damage of flash floods46.According to the passage, flash floods are _____ •A.great floods resulted from heavy rains in a short timeB.floods rising quickly from heavy rains in a short timeC.quickly-rising floods in a long timeD. floods happening over a long timeD ★★★In 1990 Peter Salovey Ph. D and John Mayer Ph. D coined the term Emotional Intelligence. Their research has opened many people' s eyes to the fact that EQ or emotional quotient holds the key to one" s happiness and well being, and helped us to realize that our emotional makeup can be so much more important than our mental, or what we refer to as IQ一intelligent quotient.IQ is essential for learning and mental development and EQ is much more important for happiness and success. Some time ago a study done in the United States proved that doctors who were impatient and did not exhibit much care towards their patients were more likely to be sued （起诉）for malpractice^BH）, whereas doctors who were caring and attentive to their patients were less likely to be sued even if they made a critical mistake. A woman wrote to newspaper recently telling about her brother. He was apparently a genius but did not get along with people, quit every job he started, and eventually became a taxi driver. These are just a few examples of people with high IQ but low EQ.We have all known people who did not complete college, but who have become very successful in business. We call them street smart. We also know people who, on the whole, are positive, communicative, pleasant and supportive一these people enjoy a high level of EQ.Many people wish to improve their EQ for the purpose of becoming happier, more successful, and at the same time more balanced, individuals. The remarkable thing about EQ is that it can always, at any age, be improved, unlike IQ, which remains more or less fixed in adult life.Now psychologists start workshops focusing on showing people how to increase their EQ. This enables them to accomplish their dreams and desires, rid themselves of negative patterns andshows them that once they master their inner world, their outer world becomes much bette匚47.In the second paragraph, the author gives us two examples to show that ____ …A. doctors in the United States are often involved in casesB・ working as a taxi driver in the United States requires high EQC.those with high IQ are often engaged in the low-rank workD.those with low EQ have a harder time surviving in life48.Which of the following can" t be used to describe the people with a high level of EQ?A.They are positive, communicative, pleasant and supportive.B.They are optimistic and untroubled by difficulties.C.They are impatient and show little care towards others.D.They may be very successful in business.49.It can be inferred that predicting future successes, _____ ・A.a person' s brainpower might actually matter less than a person' s characterB.a person' s IQ might be more important than a person' s EQC.IQ plays an important role as well as EQD.both IQ and EQ are the key points that should be considered50.Which of following is NOT true according to the passage?A.People with high IQ are likely to gain knowledge quickly.B.At work EQ gets you hired easily and IQ gets you promoted.C.Having a high IQ will help us in some ways but having a high EQ might help us even more.D.People" s EQ could be raised much more than their IQ.第三部分：写作第一节：对话填空。

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AMy husband is reading The Secret Garden aloud to our kids. They are at the part where Mary has told Colin that she’s found the garden her mother loved. It’s an exciting moment. But the passage I’m waiting for is a few chapters on, after C olin has tasted his first breaths of fresh air and Mary has grown strong running in the garden. It’s just a detail, but my kids will notice it: a delicious description of roasted potatoes and eggs.We have a tradition of trying foods from the books we read aloud. It started when we read Elizabeth Enright’s The Saturdays, and one of the boys asked, “What are petit fours?” An answer,my husband and I felt, wouldn’t be as good as a sample. So one Saturday we all sat down having tea and little cakes, covered with pink, green, and yellow. It was exciting for the kids to try a dessert they had learned about in a book. The petit fours they tried didn’t tell them what it was like to live in New York City 60 years ago, but tasting them made the book’s words alive.Later, when we read C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, we had Turkish delight. We read The Penderwicks, written by Jeanne Birdsall, and had gingerbread(姜饼). We read Paddington Bear and tried marmalade.Soon we will reach the part of The Secret Garden where Mary, Colin, and Dickon roast potatoes and eggs in a small oven (炉) in the earth. My kids will go out into the woods to find the perfect place for an oven of our own. Yes, we’ve eaten potatoes and eggs, but never in the open air.The world that a good book creates is whole and real, but it lies flat on the page until a reader gives life to it.36. The text is written mainly to .A. show the importance of reading aloudB. discuss food culture in children’s booksC. provide a new means of family educationD. introduce some interesting books37.

Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?A. The taste of a good bookB. The best way to make kids learnC. Eating means more than readingD. Our roasted potatoes and eggsBAbout 18,000 refugees(难民) from Burma have come to the United States each year since 2007. Some have settled in Howard County, Maryland between Baltimore and Washington. A local school began teaching English to the children of the refugees. But while the children learned thelanguage, their parents did not. That made communication with teachers arduous.At present, almost fifty children from Burma attend Bollman Bridge Elementary School. Laurel Conran is a teacher there. She said, “The main idea is the global idea.” She teaches E nglish to speakers of other languages. One of her students is Tha Neih Ciang. Another student is Tha Neih’s mother, Tin Iang. Ms. Conran practices English with Tin Iang at the mother’s workplace. Many refugees from Burma work at Coastal Sunbelt Produce, a supplier of fruits and vegetables to restaurants and other businesses.Laurel Conran started classes at the company to help refugees from Burma learn English. Laurel Conran said, “The program is a six-week session. It’s once a week, on every Wednesday, fro m twelve to one o’clock. So every Wednesday I go to Coastal Sunbelt.” As the workers eat lunch, they also practice their new language skills.Lisa Chertok has a child at Bollman Bridge. She is also a manager at Coastal Sunbelt. She helped Ms. Conran devel op the lessons, which she says have really helped. Lisa Chertok said, “Well, when the Burmese employees got here, they were very, very shy. Now I find that they are more outspoken than before. They’re more communicative. As parents, they are also more invo lved in their children’s school.”Jonathan Davis is the principal of Bollman Bridge Elementary School. Mr. Davis hopes the lessons will help these parents feel better about communicating with the school. He said, “Even as simple as making a phone call to s ay that their son or daughter is sick, even if that’s the amount of English that they have got from the program, that truly will help us.”41. What is the main idea of this passage?A. A local school is providing free English lessons for the poor.B. Refugees from Burma are trying their best to learn English.C. A local school is helping refugees from Burma learn English.D. Refugees from Burma have settled in Howard County, Maryland.42. What does the underlined word “arduous” in Paragraph 1 mean?A.

Britain’s Park Authority has made great efforts to protect these wild areas from over habitation and commercial activities.Mainland England and Wales have the largest number of protected parklands. The first established area was the 1,438 kilometre Peak District. This earliest national park lies in central northern England. Due to its v ast natural beauty, the Peak District is thought to be the world’s most visited national park after Japan’s Mount Fuji.In the northwest area of Wales lies Snowdonia National Park. This attractive, mysterious ancient landscape is home to craggy(陡峭的) mountains. Walking trails to Mount Snowdon are just one of several activities exciting to hikers.National parks in the UK can also boast of having Britain’s largest protected wetland “The Broads” just outside the village of Horning. An ideal spot for families, this 200-mile area combines waterways with an interesting intersection(交叉) of windmills, castles and an ancient Norman church.Spreading across 885 miles of truly impressive rocky land is Lake District National Park. England’s largest park attraction is spread between Edinburgh to the north and Manchester to the south. Although the land itself seems wild, almost 40,000 people live within the park. Within this district’s vast borders we can find over 6,000 archaeological (考古的) sites and monuments dating back to prehistory.The United Kingdom has taken great care to protect its wild open spaces for future generations, and all the parks are adventures waiting to be found which can be enjoyed by natives and visitors alike.46.

Which of the following shows the correct position of Lake District National Park?E=Edinburg M=Manchester L= Lake District National ParkPartⅢWriting (20 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.It is very important to make a student feel safe in the classroom, because students study well in the environment where they feel safe and respected. All students including those with learning difficulties can study well if they feel mentally and emotionally comfortable in the classroom. In addition, when feeling safe in an atmosphere, they can openly express their concerns. Therefore, teachers are required to devote time to making students feel comfortable in class and must view it as an investment in strengthening the teacher-student relationship.What makes a student feel safe in the classroom depends upon the quality of the relationship he shares wi th his teachers. To this end, it’s quite necessary to build trust in the classroom. Trust building is a slow process which can be achieved through healthy interaction between students and teachers. Also developing mutual (互相的) respect for each other is necessary. Teachers must try to build small but real life connections with the students and when one is able to do that, it creates a more relaxed (轻松的) atmosphere that supports studies. Gradually, students will feel a greater level of trust in teachers.A positive environment is also very important for students to feel safe in the classroom. To create such an environment, teachers must display positive messages and quotes in the classroom and even ask students to contribute them. Make it a rule that only positive things will be talked about in the classroom. Prevent students from talking about other students’ private lives in an unkind way and stop them from bullying(欺凌) each other. Also, the most important is that teachers must try to make all students feel like they are an important part of the class.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Teenage life is the “awkward stage” of a person’s development. This is the transition (过渡) from being an innocent, playful child to becoming a fully grown and fully matured adult. However, when at this stage of life, one cannot truly call himself an adult yet nor can he call himself a child. This is why there is often a barrier or a gap for teenagers.Sometimes I feel my parents don’t understand me. Whether it is because of a communication gap or a generation gap, I think they cannot grasp what I’m trying to imply sometimes. They try to force change upon me instead of just letting it happen naturally. I know in myself that I have certain weaknesses th at I have to improve on and I’m trying to but sometimes they just don’t understand.Teenage life is a difficult thing. Just as adults have a lot of responsibilities (责任); so do we and even more. We not only have to look after our physical changes, but also have to deal with our mental, emotional and psychological changes as well. Thus, they can only imagine how we can handle such a stressful life.Some people are even more unfortunate, because they’re not only misunderstood by their parents, relatives, but also by their peers. More often than not, they’re usually alone and are having difficulty socializing with other people. When one has problems, usually the family is the support system. But for these people, they have no one to turn to for help, no one to share their problems with, and no one to release their stress or worries. This creates a psychological (心理的) imbalance that can build up inside that person, whichcan lead to depression. So to prevent this, we need to develop relationships with other people because we need friends to help us and be with us.61. Why do teenagers often have a barrier or a gap?

No two people are just the same.Sometimes friends don't get on well.That doesn't mean that they no longer like eachother.Most of the time they will make_up and go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away.Then we feel very sad.We miss them very much.But we can call them and write to them.It could be that we will even see them again.And we can make new friends.It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend.Many places are named after men and women who have been friendly to people in a town.Some parks are named this way.So are some schools.We think of these people when we go to these places. There is more good news for people who have friends.They live longer than people who don't.Why? It could be that they are happier.Being happy helps you stay well.Or it could be just knowing that someone cares.If someone cares about you，you take better care of yourself. 36．The underlined phrase “make up” in Paragraph 2 means ________. A．become friends again after a quarrel B．put some special powder on the face C．invent something in order to cheat somebody D．put something together from several different things 37．From the passage we can learn that ________. A．no one in the world needs friends B．people always need friends around them C．having friends is one of the nicest things in the world D．it's nicer to have new friends than to have old friends 38．People will live longer if they have friends because ________. A．they feel happier and stay healthy B．they get a lot of help from their friends C．they take better care of themselves than their families D．they care for their friends very much B Can you imagine your doctor warning that taking a bath could be unhealthy？In the early 1800s，many doctors thought that bathtubs(浴缸)could carry diseases，so they advised against their use.The advice wasn't based on personal experience，because few of the doctors owned tubs.The White House did not even have a bathtub until 1851.In the 19th century，only one home out of six had a bathroom.A child took only one bath a week.On Saturday nights children all lined up for their turns to wash in a wooden tub in the kitchen.Mothers had to boil the water on the stove and carry it over to fill the tub.No wonder children could not jump into a tub as they do today. When the first bathtubs were introduced，even their makers weren't sure whether the new fashion would last.They advertised their products as water containersthat“could be used as bathing tubs.” The bathtub became popular in America shortly after World War I．By then most middleclass families had indoor taps.At first most tubs were made of wood，but as the popularity of the product increased，so did the creativity of tub makers.Before porcelain(瓷)tubs there were rubber ones like the plastic swimming pools kids use today.In the past few years owners often invited guests to see them.They told their friends how wonderful baths in these tubs could be. Now doctors no longer warn that bathtubs carry diseases.Instead they tell their patients about the benefits of frequent bathing.Maybe one of the best reasons why doctors encourage frequent trips to the tub is that bathed patients smell better! 39．The text is mainly about ________. A．the history of bathtubs B．the benefits of bathing C．different opinions on bathtubs D．the popularity of bathtubs 40．The doctors in the past were against using bathtubs because________. A．they thought bathtubs could cause diseases B．bathtubs were too expensive for the common families C．they didn't have enough personal experience D．the children might hurt themselves in the bathtubs 41．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A．All the doctors were against bathtubs in the early 19th century. B．The bathtub became popular when they were introduced to the market. C．Manydifferent materials can be used to make bathtubs. D．Children prefer the bathtubs made of plastic to those made of porcelain. 42．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________. A．all doctors have bathtubs in their homes B．the doctors have realized the advantages of bathtubs C．the doctors will make lots of money by advertising bathtubs D．the patients should take a bath before going to see a doctor C Many years ago，when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver，I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas.I stopped at a gas station (加油站)about 50 miles from Oklahoma City，where I was planning to stop and visit a friend.While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款台)，I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas. I took_off，but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car.I stopped and wondered what I should do.A car pulled up behind me.It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station.They said they would take me to my friend's.We chatted on the way into the city，and when I got out of the car，the husband gave me his business card. I wrote him and his wife a thankyou note for helping me.Soon afterward，I received a Christmas present from them.Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful. Years later，I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning.In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day，and the battery (电池)was dead.Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership―a shop selling cars―was right next door.I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom. “Just how friendly is Friendly Ford？”I asked and explained my trouble.They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.They would accept no payment；so when I got home I wrote them a note to say thanks，I received a letter back fromone of the salesmen.No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you，and it meant a lot，he said. “Thank you”―two powerful words.They're easy to say and mean so much. 43．The words “took off”underlined in Paragraph 2 mean ______. A．turned off B．moved off C．put up D．set up 44．What happened when the author found smoke coming out of his car? A．He had it pulled back to the gas station. B．The couple sent him a business card. C．The couple offered to help him. D．He called his friend for help. 45．The battery of the author's car was dead because ________. A．something went wrong with the lights B．the meeting lasted a whole day C．he forgot to turn off the lights D．he drove too long a distance 46．By telling his own experiences，the author tries to show ________. A．how to write a thankyou letter B．how to deal with car problems C．the kindheartedness of older people D．the importance of expressing thanks D Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers.But last summer，Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son：suddenly he seemed to be talking for more to his friend s than to his parents.“The door to his room is always shut.”Joanna noted. Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14yearold daughter.“She used to cuddle up(蜷伏)with me on the sofa and talk，”said Mark.“Now we joke that she does this only when she want s something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady.The problem is figuring out which time is which.” Before age 11，children like to tell their parents what's on their minds.“In fact，parents are first on the li st.”said Michael Riera，author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers.“This completely changes during the teen years.”Riera explained，“They talk to their friends first，then maybe their teachers，and their parents last.”Parents who know what's going on in their teenagers' lives are in the best position to help them.To break down the wall of silence，parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say，and try to find ways to talk and write to them.And they must give their children a mental break，for children also need freedom，though young.Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend，not a manager，with their children is a better way to know them. 47．“The door to his room is always shut”suggests that the son ________. A．is always busy with his studies B．doesn't want to be disturbed C．keeps himself away from his parents D．begins to dislike his parents 48．What troubles Tina and Mark most is that ________. A．their daughter isn't as lovely as before B．they can't read their daughter's mind exactly C．they don't know what to say to their daughter D．their daughter talks with them only when she needs help 49．Which of the following best explains“the wall of silence”in the last paragraph? A．Teenagers talk a lot with their parents. B．Teenagers do not want to understand their parents. C．Teenagers do not talk much with their parents. D．Teenagers talk a little about their own lives. 50．What can be learned from the passage? A．Parents are unhappy with their growing children. B．Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers. C．Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers. D．Parents should try to understand their teenagers. Ⅳ.任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) Teamwork is just as important in science as it is on the playing field or in the gym.Scientific investigations(调查)are almost always carried out by teams of people working together.Ideas are shared，experiments are designed and results are evaluated and shared with other investigators.Group work is necessary，and is usually more productive than working alone. Several timesthroughout the year you may be asked to work with one or more of your classmates.Whatever the task your group is assigned，a few rules need to be followed to ensure a productive and successful experience. What comes first is to keep an open mind，because everyone's ideas deserve consideration and each group member can make his or her own contribution.Secondly，it makes a job easier to divide the group task among all group members.Choose a role on the team that is best suited to your particular strengths.Thirdly，always work together，take turns，and encourage each other by listening，clarifying，and trusting one another.Mutual support and trust often make a great difference. Activities like investigations are most effective when done by small groups.Here are some more suggestions for effective team performance during these activities：Make sure each group member understands and agrees to the task given to him or her，and everyone knows exactly when，why and what to do；take turns to do various tasks during similar and repeated activities；be aware of where other group members are and what they are doing so as to ensure safety；be responsible for your own learning，though it is by no means unwise to compare your observations with those of other group members. When there is research to be done，divide the topic into several areas，and this can explore the issue in a very detailed way.You are encouraged to keep records of the sources used by each person，which helps you trace back to the origin of the problems that may happen unexpectedly.A format for exchanginginformation(e.g.，photocopies of notes，oral discussion，etc.)is also important，for a well－chosen method not only strengthens what you present but also makes yourself easily understood.When the time comes to make a decision and take a position on an issue，allow for the contributions of each memberof the group.Most important of all，it is always wise to make decisions by compromise and agreement. After you've completed a task with your team，make an evaluation of the team’s effectiveness―the strengths and weaknesses，opportunities and challenges. Title Working Together Theme Effective performance needs highly cooperated 51.________ General rules •Keep an open mind to everyone's 52.________ •Divide the group task among group members. •53.________ and trust each other.续表Title Working Together 54.________ •Understand and agree to the 55．________ task of one's own. •Take turns to do various tasks. •Show concern for others to ensure safety. •Take 56.________ for one's own learning. •Compare your own observations with those of others.

Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, and song.By 9.45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and David were restless. Other guests began whispering that they, too, were starving. But no one wanted to leave, just in case some food was about to appear. By 11.00, there was still no food, and everyone was completely off their heads. Jane and David left hungry and angry.Their experience suggests that the words on the printed invitations need to be made clearer. Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently. Most of us would agree that 6.30 -8.30pm means drinks only, go out to dinner afterwards;8.00pm or 8.30pm means possible dinner, but 9.30pm and any time thereafter means no food, oat beforehand, roll up late.But this is not always the case. If asked to a students' party at 6.30pm, it is normal for guests not to appear before midnight, if at all, and no one cares. Being the first to arrive - looking eager - is social death. When my mother is asked to a party for 6.30, she likes to be them, if not on lime, then no later than seven. My age group （late thirties） falls somewhere between the two, but because we still think we're young, we're probably closer to student-time than grown-up time.The accepted custom at present is confusing （混乱的）, sometimes annoying, and it often means you may go home hungry, but it does lend every party that precious element （成分） of surprise.81. The underlined words "off their heads" probably mean______.A. tiredB. crazyC. curiousD. hopeless82. Jane and David' s story is used to show that______ .A. petty-goer8 usually get hungry at partiesB. party invitations can be confusingC. people should ask for food at partiesD. birthday parties for middle-aged people are dull83. For some young people, arriving on time for a students' party willprobably be considered_______.A. very difficultB. particularly thoughtfulC. friendly and politeD. socially unacceptable84. According to the writer, people in their late thirties_______.A. are likely to arrive late for a partyB. care little about the party timeC. haven' t really grown up yetD. like surprises at parties85. What is the general idea of the text?A. It' s safe to arrive late just when food is served.B. It' s wise to eat something before going to a party.C. It' s important to follow social rules of party-going.D. It' s necessary to read invitations carefully.第四部分：单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）86．She felt g________ about leaving her sick child and going to work. 87．I must a________ for not being able to meet you at the airport on time. 88．Whenever I get into trouble, he comes to my help without h_________. 89．In order to avoid the p_________ for the wrong that he had done, he went to a European country in 1981.90．He was too s__________ to admit that he was wrong and refused to say sorry to his girl friend.91．If you want to pass your exams, you’d better change your a__________ toward study.92．She was a________ to graduate from college and get a well-paid job. 93．You’ve put me in a very a_______ position and now I don’t know how to deal with the matter.94．I tried to p__________ him to change his mind but he refused to follow my advice.95．I am sorry that I was a______________ just now and didn’t quite catch what you said.高二牛津高中英语第五模块第一单元阶段测试答案及详解1-5 BBDBC 6-10 CBACC 11-15 BCABD 16-20 DACBA 21-25 CDAAA26-30 CAABD 31-35 DCABC 36-40 DCBCB 41-45 ADBCD第二部分46.

There are so many lovely things, but I need nothing.I realize this as I walk up the hill on my strong legs. I can hear the air fill my lungs. I feel the cold on my cheeks。
I smell the smoke of the fire that warms my home. I see the snow—covered mountains and the small river dotted with fat geese。
I need nothing. There are people who love me. There are people who forgive my sometimes bad temper and who touch me with loving hands. There are neighbors who smile in the store。
There are shopkeepers who tolerate me when I don't have enough money。
There are kind faces in public places.There is a fat cat who often slides into my garage. Dogs and other cats share my hearth （炉床); I love to feel their fur with my feet. There are hawks that teach their young how to fly, right there behind my house。

I thought that Mary would jump on the luggage carrier (行李架) over the back tire when I was riding. Mom knew exactly what I was thinking. “Don’t ride the bike with Mary on the back,” she said. “It’s too dangerous. You could kill yourself. Take turns.”新课标第一网I nodded, but I was thinking I could handle this. A few minutes later, I turned right to a wide road. “Jump on the back,” I told Mary. I rode fast, laughing as the wind blew through our hair. It was exciting, until the handlebar (车把) started shaking. The front tire dropped into a drain (下水道) and I fell off the bike, still holding the handlebar.My face, hands, and knees crashed into the pavement. The pain in my mouth was unbearable, and I tasted blood. I turned towards Mary who was on the ground, holding her knee and crying. Seconds later, it seemed that my mom’s car stopped next to us. I wanted Mom to say, “Oh, my poor sweetheart. Let me hug you and everything will be fine.”However, my mom only said, “What have you done to your face? Vanessa,look at what you’ve done!” Mom wasn’t the gentle “I love you, sweetie” type.Sometimes, I thought Mom had no mercy. But in her own way, she was holding me tighter than I could understand — she was teaching me the lesson I needed. “You did it — deal with it and learn from it. One day, the consequences (后果) will be greater and I won’t be there to help you. Think it out, Vanessa.”1. We can learn from the text that .A. Vanessa fell because she didn’t hold the handlebarB.

In1985, two days before he died, he gave that ticket to Cave —ticket number 00001. “It created a fascination (酷爱) with the bridge that I have to this day,” says Cave. And it started him on a long journey towards another Harbour Bridge first.Cave came up with a simple but daring idea —lease (租用) the bridge from the government and allow ordinary people to climb Australia’s greatest icon. “I thought it would take two years,” says Cave, 63. “What appeared like a simple job turned into some very complex activities. But in business, you just have to keep going —it’s about having self-belief.” Indeed, it took him nine years and ten months to convince the NSW government to allow his dream to be a reality. “Six years were wasted dealing with some very restrictive officials,” says Cave. They threw difficulty after difficulty in his path with doubts over the safety of the climbers and the motorists below — the list went on and on.Through it all, Cave held the ticket tightly. It was a constant reminder of why, to Cave, this fight was worth winning. Finally, in 1995, came the breakthrough(突破) he’d worked for —a letter arrived from WorkCover, the state’s occupational health and safety insurer, backing his idea.Since opening on October 1, 1998, over 1.8 million people have climbed the 1,439 steps to the top of the bridge, making BridgeClimb a $50-million-a-year success and a major international tourist attraction.8. Cave at first thought his dream .A. was a hard taskB. was easy to come trueC. would get support from the governmentD. would become some complex activities9. What was the restrictive officials’ attitude towards Cave’s idea?A. Cautious.B. Approving.C. Doubtful.D. Enthusiastic.10. What inspired Cave to fight for his dream during the hard situation?A. WorkCover.B. Harbour Bridge.C. BridgeClimb.D. Ticket 00001.11. The text mainly tells us that .A. not every dream in our life is very easy to come trueB. you should have self-belief even faced with great difficultyC. family members always give you the inspiration for successD. life seems a long journey towards another Harbour Bridge firstDA habitat is a natural area where wildlife lives undisturbed. Most animals and plants have become endangered not because they have been killed on purpose but because their habitats are being destroyed.Human activities have changed or destroyed habitats for thousands of years. The natural habitats in almost every country in the world have been affected in some way. Let us take Britain as an example. Nowadays most of the British countryside consists of fields of grass grown for cattle and sheep or crops for humans. If you had lived about a thousand years ago, the countryside would have looked very different formost of Britain was covered with forest.Now there are only small areas of woodland across the country, one of the largest areas being the New Forest in Hampshire. Throughout the centuries humans have steadily (持续地) cut down the trees to make room for the human population which has increased greatly particularly during the past 200 years or so. The trees have been replaced by houses, factories, schools, roads, farmland etc. Hedgerows (灌木篱笆) which were planted by humans as boundaries (界限) around fields have replaced woodlands.As you may imagine, the great loss of habitats has affected the wildlife that lives in them. Large animals such as the Brown Bear and the Auroch became extinct in Britain during the 10th century mainly due to destruction (破坏) of their forest habitats. Other British species of animals and plants have become extinct during the last few hundred years and many more are endangered today. Although many organizations are working to protect wildlife, natural habitats are still being destroyed.新课标第一网12.
