B. authority
C. available
D. code
E. dominated
F. educational

K. symbolization
It is important that students? feelings, opinions and suggestions are listened to, taken into account, and that the right action is taken. There are a number of ways that this can be __41__, i.e. school councils, year councils and peer mentoring.
School councils
Most schools have a school council which exists to let the teachers and head teacher know what students? __42__ are on a range of school issues. The school council usually consists of two or three elected __43__ from each year group.
A school council might meet once or twice a month to discuss issues such as the dress __44__, the use of social areas, charity fundraising and bullying.
Year councils
Because school councils are sometimes __45__ by older students, some schools have introduced year councils. The aim of a year council is to give students the opportunity to express opinions on __46__ of importance to that particular year group. The following is an example of the rules relating to a school?s council for year 8 (pupils aged 12-13).
The head of year will attend all council meetings as an observer and both they and the other year staff will be __47__ as required to offer support and advice to council members and to assist in the settlement of arguments.
Peer mentoring
There are other ways in which students?voices can be heard. One of the most popular schemes involves peer mentoring. Those who express an interest receive training to become mentors (导师) so that they are better equipped to help others. This starts from primary school age, when the mentors may get involved in issues __48__ to conflict resolution. At secondary school and at university, mentors are likely to deal with a larger variety of issues, such as __49__ and health-related matters.
The belief in schemes like these is that being heard by your peers can be more effective and helpful as fellow students may have more time and understanding than teachers or others in __50__.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Many people complain that their memory is bad, particularly as they get older. Life would be so much easier if we could remember things __51__. So how can we improve our memory?
Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember. While this undoubtedly helps short-term memory (remembering a telephone number for a few seconds, __52__), psychologists doubt whether it can help you to remember things for long. The British psychologist E.C. Stanford seemed to __53__ this point when he tested himself on five prayers that he had read aloud every morning for over 25 years. He found that he could remember no more than three words of them! __54__, especially for remembering numbers, is …chunking’(分块), or grouping the information. The following numbers would be __55__ for most of us to remember. 1492178919931848. But look at them in …chunks?, and it becomes much easier. 1492 1789 1993 1848.
So what about …memory training?? We?ve all __56__ people w ho can memorise packs of card by heart --- how is this done and can anyone learn how to do it? __57__ experts, there are various ways of training your memory. Many of them __58__ forming a mental picture of the items to be memorised. One method, which may be useful in learning foreign languages, is to create a picture in your mind __59__ a word you want to remember. Another method is to invent a story that includes all the things you want to remember. People were asked to remember up to 120 words using this technique; when tested afterwards, on average, they were able to __60__ 90 per cent of them! Surprisingly, however, there is nothing __61__ about these methods --- they were around even in ancient times. Apparently the Roman general Publius Scipio could __62__ his entire army --- 35,000 men in total!
__63__, not all of us are interested in learning long lists of names and numbers just for fun. For those studying large quantities of information, psychologists suggest that the best way to …form __64__ connections? is to ask yourself lots of questions as you go along. So, for example, if you were reading about a particular disease, you would ask yourself questions like: …Do people get it from water??, …What parts of the body does it affect?? and so on. This i s said to be far more effective than time spent …__65__? reading and re-reading notes.

Section B
Directions:Read the following three passages. 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 you have just read.
(A)
A night out in Tokyo is much the same as a night out in Milan these days, according to a survey about socialising, conducted amongst 16 to 34-year-olds around the world. Wherever you live, a typical night out is spent eating burgers, seeing American films or listening to English-language music in clubs and bars. Individual differences do survive but American culture is everywhere.
Differences in the social behavior of the two sexes are also disappearing. Most people surveyed felt that it was …perfectly normal? for groups of young women to go out alone, that it was …equally acceptable? for young women to smoke and drink, and that a couple should split the bill when they go out together. For most young people these were the biggest differences between their own generation and their parents?.
Interestingly, however, most young people interviewed said that parents are still stricter with daughters than sons about where they go and who they go with. Overall, only 10 per cent thought that parents treat their sons and daughters equally, and almost no one thought parents were stricter with their sons!
Important national differences appear, however, when it comes to time-keeping. In the Far East and Eastern Europe a night out starts --- and finishes --- much earlier: th ere seven o?clock was the average time for meeting up with friends. For many Southern European and South Americans, on the other hand, an evening out doesn?t even start until ten or eleven o?clock, by which time many of their South Korean or Japanese count erparts are safely home in bed!
Parents? rules reflect this. Most Japanese parents expect their teenagers home by ten o?clock or even earlier, whereas in Europe it is more likely to be eleven or twelve o?clock. The most surprising findings came from Argen tina, however, where it is apparently quite normal for 15 and 16-year-olds to stay out all night. But then perhaps this is because their parents have less to worry about --- 80 percent of Argentine youngsters claimed that they rarely or never drink alcohol!
66. Night out in Tokyo is similar to it in Milan because ________.
A. English-language activities are highly welcomed
B. they are experiencing the different globalized-culture
C. American culture is very popular all around the world
D. all the young people have the same habits and hobbies
67. One of the biggest differences between young people and their parents lies in ______.
A. the music style and stars they loved
B. their attitude towards paying money for dinner
C. the decreasing number of young women smoking
D. the time they meet up with people and have evening out
68. In the last paragraph, “this” refers to ______.
A. evening out
B. drinking alcohol
C. time-keeping
D. staying up late
69. What is the passage mainly talking about?
A. The same night-out life in all the modern cities.
B. The similarities and differences in social behaviors.
C. Comparing night life between the east and the west.
D. Parents? different rules between their sons and daughters.
(B)

(C)
It is well-known that twins are closer to each other than most brothers and sisters ---- after all, they probably spend more time with each other. Parents of twins often notice that they develop special ways of communicating: they invent their own words and one can often finish the other's sentence. In exceptional circumstances, this closeness becomes more extreme: they invent a whole language of their own, as in the case of Grace and Virginia Kennedy from Georgia in the USA, who communicated so successfully in their own special language that they did not speak any English at all until after they started school.
However, these special relationships are the result of lives spent almost entirely in each other's company. What happens when twins do not grow up together, when they are separated at birth for some reason? Are they just like any other strangers, or are there still special similarities between them? Professor Tom Bouchard, of the University of Minnesota, set out to find the answer to this question. He traced sixteen pairs of twins, who were adopted by different families when they were babies, and often brought up in very different circumstances. Each twin was then interviewed about every small detail of their life.
The results of this research make a surprising reading. Many of the twins were found to have the same hobbies, many have suffered the same illnesses, and some have even had the same type of accident at the same point in their lives. One pair of middle-aged women arrived for their first meeting in similar dresses, another pair were wearing similar jewellery. The most incredible similarities are to be found in the case of Jim Springer and Jim Lewis from Ohio in the USA. The story of the 'Jim Twins' made headline news across USA. Born to an immigrant woman in 1939, and adopted by different families at birth, both babies were named Jim by their new parents.
But what can be the explanation for these remarkable similarities? Is it all pure coincidence, or is the explanation in some way genetic? Research into the lives of twins is forcing some experts to admit that our personalities may be at least partly due to 'nature'. On the other hand, analysts are also anxious to emphasise that incredible coincidences do happen all the time, not just in the lives of twins.
73. The case of Grace and Virginia Kennedy (Para. 1) is to show that ______.
A. twins communicate with each other in an unusual way
B. twins are more likely to suffer from speaking problems
C. most twins have exceptional abilities to invent a new language
D. twins won?t have an effective communication until they go to school
74. The purpos e of Tom Bouchard?s study is to find ______.
A. what will happen if twins spend lives entirely in the same company
B. why the 16 pairs of twins have been adopted by different families
C. whether separated growing up has effect on twins? special similariti es
D. when the special similarities come into being during their growing up
75. What does the word “reading” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. Book.
B. Interpretation.
C. Literature.
D. Measurement.
76. According to Tom Bouchard?s research, the special similarities between twins ______.
A. depend on what the twins enjoy and suffer from
B. can not be proved or accepted by all the experts
C. result from the twins? growing up and development
D. are not closely linked with where the twins are raised
77. What can be learned from the last paragraph?
A. Incredible coincidences happen to twins all the time.
B. Nature is the only way to explain the similarities between twins.
C. The differences between twins are to some extent the results of genes.
D. Similarities shows the close relationship between two strange persons.
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
All of us exist in …bodies?of different shapes, heights, colors and physical abilities. The main reasons for the differences are genetic, and the fact that people?s bodies change as they age. However, a huge range of research indicates that there are social factors too.
Poorer people are more likely to eat …unhealthy? foods, to smoke cigarettes and to be employed in physically difficult work or the opposite: boring, inactive employment. Moreover, their housing conditions and neighbourhoods tend to be worse. All of these factors impact upon the condition of a person?s health: the physical shapes of bodies are strongly influenced by social factors.
These social factors are also closely linked to emotional wellbeing. People with low or no incomes are more likely to have mental health problems. It is not clear, however, whether poverty causes mental illness, or whether it is the other way around. For example, certain people with mental health issues may be at risk of becoming homeless, just as a person who is homeless may have an increased risk of illnesses such as depression.
There are other types of social factors too. Bodies are young or old, short or tall, big or small, weak or strong. Whether these judgments matter and whether they are positive or negative depends on the cultural and historical context. In fact, the culture of different societies promote very different valuations of body shapes. What is considered as attractive or ugly, normal or abnormal varies enormously. Currently, for example, in rich societies the idea of slimness is highly valued, but historically this was different. In most societies the ideal body shape for a woman was a …full figure?, while in middle-aged man, a large stomach indicated that they were financially successful in life.
Sociologists are suggesting that we should not just view bodies and minds in biological terms, but also in social terms. The physical body and what we seek to do with it change over time and society. This has important implications for medicine and ideas of health. Thus, the idea of people being …overweight? is physically related to large amounts of processed food, together with lack of exercise, and is therefore a medical issue. However, it has also become a mental health issue and social problem as a result of people coming to define this particular body shape as …wrong? and unhealthy.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
78. Besides social factors, what are the other two reasons for differences in bodies?
79. The social factors are likely to have a great effect on people?s ______ and ______.
80. Valuations of body shapes change with ______.
81. The “This” in the last paragraph refers to ______.

Listening Comprehension
Section A
Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a
question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.
1. M: Hello, Mary. This is John at the office. Is Tom feeling any better today?
W: Oh, yes, John. He?s feeling much better now. But the doctor says he will have to stay in bed until Monday.
Q: Where is Tom now?
2. W：Freedom Travel. May I help you?
M：Yes, I?d like to make a flight reservation for the twenty third of this month.

W: I understand the way you feel. I'm looking forward to the day when I can afford to get my own.
Q: What does the woman mean?
5. M: The famous professor is speaking tonight, but Dr. Johnson doesn't seem to think much of him.
W: That's because Dr. Johnson comes from an entirely different school of thought.
Q: What do we learn from the woman's remark?
6. M: Are you telling me you don't have a housekeeper?
W: No, we don't. If you make a mess, you clean it up yourself.
Q: What do we learn from this conversation?
7. M: You look like you are freezing to death. Why don't you put this on?
W: Thank you, it was so warm at noon. I didn't expect the weather to change so quickly.

W: There?s no hurry. The test scores are released at least 8 weeks after the test.
Q: What does the woman advise the man to do?
Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
A couple of months ago, I went to a department store to buy a few things for the house. I needed a set of curtains for the living room, two table lamps, a rug and several cushions. I asked them to deliver the things as soon as possible, but they said that they were unable to send them out until 20 days later. After about 3 weeks, I received only the curtains and table lamps. I was a little disappointed when I didn`t receive all the items I had bought. But nevertheless, I was eager to see what the curtains and lamps looked like. I first opened the package with the curtains. I had bought a lovely light blue, and instead they had sent me a horrible dark purple. Well, you can just imagine how angry I was. Then I opened the boxes with the lamps. They were exactly what I?d ordered. But one of the lamp shapes was damaged. The next thing I did was to telephone them to complain. They promised to come to pick them up immediately and also to replace them with the correct order. It has been two weeks since my complaint. They have neither picked up the wrong items nor sent me the rest of my order.
(Now listen again, please)
Questions
11. When did the woman want the store to deliver the items?
12. Was the woman pleased when she saw the items they had delivered?
13. What happened in the end?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following news.
Some people dream of being President of the United States. Some dream of becoming stars in a Hollywood movie, and others of making millions of dollars overnight. But, could a dream like that come true in real life? Well, it did happen
to Peter Johnson.
Peter was an auto mechanic. One day, he walked into the Union Trust Bank in Baltimore and took 5,000 dollars that did not belong to him. The guards and other employees stood back and let him put the bills in his shirt and pants without trying to prevent him from taking the money. No one pressed an alarm. No one pulled a gun. No one called the police. Why did the allow him to get away with it?
Well, everything was legal. Peter had won a contest promoted by a Baltimore radio station. The first prize entitled him to enter the union Trust bank and gather up as much money as he could lay his hands within five minutes. Because he could not bring any large bags or boxes into the bank, all the money had to be placed in his pockets.
As the time went by, Peter ran about wildly, trying to pick up as many large bills as he could find. When his time was up, he was out of breath, but was $ 5,000 richer.
Questions
14. Why did Peter go to the Union Trust bank?
15. What did the guards do when Peter stared gathering the money?
16. Why didn?t Peter take more money from the bank?
Section C

Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.
M：Well, Shirley, now that we?ve seen the three apartments, which one do you like best?
W：I don?t know, Bred. I know one thing. I didn?t like the one on the 68th Street.
M：Neither did I. Let?s cross that one off. That leaves the 72nd Street one and the 80th Street one.
W：The one on the 80th Street has a better view, and a very cheerful kitchen.
M: Yes, and I like the carpet in the hall. It was clean. But there was no good place to put a desk.
W：That?s true. You could always just put it in a corner of the living room, but then you wouldn?t have any privacy, and the bedroom was too small.
M：Right. And I need to be able to leave my work out on the desk without having it looked into by nosy visitors.
W：Oh, Brad, we don?t have that kind of visitors. But I do agree the desk shouldn?t be in the living room. It?s a constant reminder of unfinished work. What about the 72nd Street apartment? It has a dining area. We could eat in the kitchen, and put the desk in the dining area. It?s more private there.
M：Yes, that sounds OK. Only, what I didn?t like about that place was the west window. I gets quite hot in the late afternoon with the sun beating down on the window.
W：Didn?t you notice the air-conditioner?
M：No, was there one?
W：Yes. And we could improve on the curtains, too.
M：That place did have the best parking facilities of the three.
W：Yes, I think that apartment is best for our needs. There?s good parking. And there?s semiprivate area for your desk. M：OK. Let?s take that one.

虎门中学高三周测英语试题1 第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） A The small coastal town of Broome, in northwest Australia, is a remote village in the vast countryside. There are no traffic jams and hardly any roads. There is only the massive Australian wild land, where some houses are 500 miles apart and some driveways are 50 miles long. There seem to be only two main sources of entertainment out here: the sunset at the beach and Sun Pictures. Sun Pictures is a very different movie theater：The seats are park benches and deck chairs, but you’re also welcome to sit on the grass. It is the world’s oldest outdoor movie garden. Sun Pictures was built in 1916 on the other side of the globe from Hollywood. All the big films were shipped here and the lonely country was amazed. Broome resident Pearl Hamaguchi has never traveled far from home. But in the Sun Pictures chairs, under the deep blue night sky, she has been almost everywhere. “And we came back excited about Gregory Peck,” she recalled. This is one of the few places left in the world where you can see two sets of stars at the same time-----one set in the sky, the other in the film. Each night, dozens of people from around the world line up at the old wooden stand, with no computer in sight, and buy their tickets to the latest films. Sun Pictures is also a museum, exhibiting projectors(放映机) that date back to the silent films, a portrait gallery of the famous people who never knew about this place---- even though they came here all the time. Every once in a while, I’m told, you might find a non-ticket holder in your seat. That’s why it’s always a good idea to shake out your chair to make sure there are no spiders or scorpions. “We’ve only had a couple of scorpion incidents but no one’s been stung yet,” said Aaron Mestemaker, a tourist visiting from Michigan. Sun Pictures is a holy hall of movie history and a reminder that air conditioning and carpet are no match for grass and fresh air---even when the lizards steal the scene. 21. The first two paragraphs want to show that__________. A. living in Broome is inconvenient B. the life in Broome is boring C. few people like to live in Broome D. Broome is simple but vast 22. Sun Pictures is different from other theaters because _________. A. it is the most historical outdoor theater in the world B. the audience can either sit on chairs or on the grass C. it was built by some constructor from Hollywood D. all the films were imported here from Hollywood 23. Gregory Peck is most probably the name of_________. A. a place B. a film C. a movie star D. a country fellow
石家庄二中实验学校2018级英语周考试卷 命题人张建伟做题人殷晓优考试时间8 月23 日 I 阅读理解（共4 小题；每小题2 分，满分8分） Recently, researchers at the University of Toronto figured out a way with a quick video selfie to accurately measure blood pressure with your smartphone’s camera by developing a technology known as transdermal optical imaging (TOI)(透皮光学成像). Cameras on smartphones can catch red light reflected from hemoglobin (血红素）under our skin, which permits TOI to visualize and measure blood flow changes. Researchers measured the blood pressure of 1,328 Canadian and Chinese adults by getting two-minute vide os of their faces on an iPhone. “From the video got by the technology, you can see how the blood flows in different parts of the face and through this flow, you can get a lot of information,” said Kang Lee, lead author of the study. Lee also helped create an app called Anura, which allows people to try out the TOI software for themselves, giving them the ability to record a 30-second video of their face and receive measurements for stress levels and resting heart rate. Lee said more research was needed to make sure that the measurements were as accurate as possible, explaining that the study didn’t test people with very dark or very fair skin. “In order to improve our app to make it usable, particularly for people with hypertension (高血压)，we need to collect a lot of data from them, which is very hard because a lot of them are already taking medicine,”Lee explained. “We cannot tell them not to take medicine, but from time to time, we get participants who don’t take medicine so we can get hypertensive people this way.” The scientists said there were many potential applications of the technology, including providing health services for those who lived in remote areas. 1. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2？ A. Information offered by TOI. B. New findings on hypertension. C. How TOI is put into smart phones. D. How the TOI technology works. 2. What might people benefit from the new technology mentioned above? A. Living a life free from stress. B. Improving the heart function gradually. C. Accessing health services for free. D. Knowing abnormal blood pressure earlier. 3. What can be done for a better Anura? A. Equipping phones with better cameras. B. Allowing phones to record longer videos. C. Collecting data from more diverse samples. D. Persuading participants not to take medicine. 4. Why does the author write this text? A. To predict future applications of TOI. B. To introduce TOI and an app related. C. To describe functions of cameras on phones. D. To evaluate the quality of an app called Anura. II 单项选择（必修五U1-U5；满分15分，每小题1分） 5. I _______ Mary’s wedding last Saturday, where I ran into one of my university classmates. A. attended B. joined C. took part in D. participated in 6. ________ to strong sunlight will do harm to your skin. A. Be exposed B. Being exposed C. Exposed D. Exposing 7.

At the end of World War I, Amy Hawkins was a 7-year-old child who loved nothing more than to 2 . As a teen, Hawkins set her 3 on becoming an entertainer. Hawkins was on her way, touring the country with a dance troupe (歌舞团)—until her ambition was 4 by her mom, who didn’t see it as a respectable 5 for a young lady. All these years later, the 110-year-old lady lives at home in Monmouth, South Wales, surrounded by her loved ones. The four-generation family unit includes her granddaughter, Hannah Freeman, and Freeman’s 14-year-old son, Sacha. Even though she’s no longer doing it 6 , Hawkins has never stopped singing. “She’s like a clock, once you wind her up she won’t stop,” Freeman said in an interview. “She just keeps asking, ‘Would you 7 another one?’.” On Hawkins’ 110th birthday, Sacha 8 his great-gran singing one of her favorite WWI tunes.

This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem — inability to read. In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle. There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical（相同的）to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer. Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together. My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them. I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And
