A
A white shark shipped from New York and placed into an outdoor pool for a Kmart commercial in Los Angeles died after showing signs of distress, an official from the animal welfare group that monitored the production said on Thursday.
The American Humane Association (AHA), which certifies film and TV productions with animals, says everything possible was done to ensure the 1.5 meter shark's safety.
The shark's death follows lots of criticism of the use of animals in Hollywood productions. The animal rights group, people for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), which said it received details on the shark's death from two whistleblowers(揭发者), criticized the AHA in a letter over the shark's death."Sharks are sensitive animals who, in captivity(囚禁), require a highly specialized and controlled environment," the PETA letter read. "Given the delicate nature of this species, why would the AHA approve the transport and use of this animal?"
The shark was placed into a 227- liter outdoor tank in the Van Nuys suburb of Los Angeles, said Karen Rosa, a senior adviser of the AHA. She added that was a good amount of water for it.
"We honestly don't know why the animal died. It was not being mistreated. It was not being harmed," Rosa said.
Early in the day, the shark seemed to be in good condition, but at one point they noticed it showed signs of distress. "As far as I know, it was immediately insisted upon that the animal receive specialized aquatic veterinarian(兽医) care," she said.
Oxygen was pumped into the tank and the shark was given a shot to try to stabilize it before it was transferred to an aquatic compound for care, where it died the same day, Rosa said.
The shoot was for a Kmart commercial, but a representative for the retailer could not disclose any details."We take this matter seriously and safety is always our first concern," the spokesman for Kmart said in a statement.
21. The shark was shipped to Los Angeles for________.
A. a study by the AHA
B. a business activity
C. a film about animals
D. a project by an animal welfare group
22. From the passage, we can learn that PETA ________.
A. monitor films and TV productions that have animals
B. sent a representative to the scene of the shoot
C. believed the shark received specialized care
D. didn’t think the shark was transferred very well
23. What does Karen Rosa think of AHA?
A. It had done all that it needed to do.
B. It was against the rights of the animals.
C. It had found out the reason why the shark died.
D. It should be responsible for the shoot.
24. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Sharks Should be Forbidden for Commercial
B. PETA Tries to Stop Shooting With Animals
C. Sharks Are Sensitive Animals in Captivity
D. Shark Brought to Los Angeles for Commercial Dies
B
It was fifteen past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work．Her bus had inched along through the heavy traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very
first job．She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day．
Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor．When she finally reached the office marked “Smith Enterprise”, she knocked at the door nervously and waited．There was no reply．She tapped on the door again, but still there was no answer．From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in．
Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had the interview with Mr. Smith, it looked quite different now．In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all．The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking．In the front of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in．For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her．
Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others．Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work．No one paid any attention to Marie．Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office．Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr．Smith, who would arrive at any moment．Then Marie realized that the day's work in the office began just before Mr．Smith arrived．Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35, so that his staff knew exactly when to start working．25．Marie could hardly recognize the office she went into because .
A．she had been there only once B．the office seemed different

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict.” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes—khaki pants and a sports shirt—to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I am working harder than ever.” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”
More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday（but only on Friday）.This became known as “dress-down Frida y” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.
Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code.” “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative（保守的）dre ss code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale（心境，士气）. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one p erson said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”
29. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because .
A. they make him feel at ease when working
B. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes
C. he looks handsome in casual clothes
D. he no longer works for any company
30. According to this passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Company workers started to dress down about fifty years ago.
B. Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 90s.
C. “Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers.
D. Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.
31. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT .
A. saving employees’ money
B. making employees more attractive
C. improving employees’ motivation
D. making employees happier
D
Men are spending more and more time in the kitchen encouraged by celebrity (名人) chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver, according to a report from Oxford University.
The effect of the celebrity role models, who have given cooking a more manly picture, has combined with a more general drive towards sexual equality and men now spend more than twice the amount of time preparing meals than they did in 1961.
According to the research by Prof. Jonatahn Gershuny, who runs the Centre for Time Research at Oxford, men now spend more than half an hour a day cooking, up from just 12 minutes a day in 1961.
Prof. Gershuny said, “The man in the kitchen is part of a much wider social trend. There has been 40 years of sexual equality, but there is another 40 years probably to come.”
Women, who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking, now spend just one hour and seven minutes—a great fall, but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men.
Some experts have named these men in aprons as “Gastrosexuals (men using cooking skills to impress friends)”, who have been inspired to pick up a kitchen knife by the success of Ramsay, Oliver as well as other male celebrity chefs such as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Marco Pierre White and Keith Floyd.
“I was married in 1974. When my father came to visit me a few weeks later, I was wearing an apron when I opened the door. He laughed,” said Prof. Gershuny. “That would never happen now.”
Two-thirds of adults say that they come together to share at least three times a week, even if it is not necessarily around a kitchen or dining room table. Prof. Gershuny pointed out that the family meal was now rarely eaten by all of its members around a table—with many “family meals” in fact taken on the sofa in the sitting room, and shared by famil y members. “The family meal has changed a lot, and few of us eat—as I did when I was a child—at least two meals a day together as a family. But it has survived in a different format.”
32. What is one reason behind the trend that men spend more time cooking than before?
A. The improvement of cooks’ status.
B. The influence of popular female chefs.
C. The change of female’s view on cooking.
D. The development of sexual equality campaign.
33. What does the author think about the time men and women spend on cooking?
A. Men spend more time cooking than women nowadays.
B. Women spend much less time on cooking than before.
C. It will take 40 years before men spend more time at the stove than women.
D. There is a sharp decline in the time men spend on cooking compared with 1961.
34. How did Prof. Gershuny see the family meal according to the passage?
A. It has become a thing of the past.
B. It is very different from what it used to be.
C. It shouldn’t be advocated in modern times.
D. It is beneficial to the stability of the family.
35. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. The Changes of Family Meals
B. Equality between Men and Women
C. Cooking into a New Trend for Men
D. Cooking—a Thing of the Past for Women

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Americans use many expressions with the word “dog”. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. 36 However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dog's life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence.
Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. 37 They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.
38 This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.
39 People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We say his bark is worse than his bite.
Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. 40
A. Still, people say every dog has its day.
B. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.
C. Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways.
D. Dogs are their best friends and they are loyal to people.
E. There are many other expressions waiting for you to explore.
F. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs.
G. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care.

In winter, I often walk in a nearby park during lunch time. The park is quiet, as 41 people have the time to enjoy the winter sun on a weekday. The two people that are often seen are a middle-aged father and his little daughter 42 her school uniform. The father looks like he has all the time in the world—he 43 to hurry along the jogging path; instead he matches his pace with 44 of the little girl. Sometimes they are lying 45 in the sun, laughing and chatting.
The m an certainly doesn’t look 46 . What sort of job can he have that gives him the flexibility to walk in the park in the middle of the day?
And today, we 47 sat on the rocks and had a little chat. “You 48 enjoy the park very much to come here so of ten,” I said. The father nodded. “How” I asked curiously, “do you 49
to leave your office to be with your daughter every day?”
The story that the father, Satyendra Dugbey, told me showed me how, if we 50 under the surface, even ordinary people’s l ife can be quite 51 .
“I used to be no different from any of those thousands of office workers 52 to work every
day,” he began. His wife and he were well 53 but rarely managed time off for leisure.
Everything changed after an accident 54 Dugbey was hit by a car. As he lay in hospital, terrifying thoughts 55 his mind. “How would my daughter, then only four, remember me if I died that day?” “Would my daughter have 56 of being with her father?”
The moment he recovered and went back to work, Dugbey took time off at lunch, 57 her daughter from school which was just next door to his working place, and took her to the park.
It was actually a very small change he’d made, he said, but it amazed him every day to see the difference it 58 to his life. “It brings me so much 59 that I can’t believe why others haven’t thought of doing the same thing.” he said simply.
I got up to continue my 60 walk, unexpectedly happy after his story.
41. A. few B. a few C. little D. a little

Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or blown for boys?
The answer depends largely 61 cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color 62 represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. During the Spring Festival in China, children 63 (give) money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect 64 against evils（灾祸）.

Last weekend we went mountain-climbing. Even the heavy rain in the morning could not prevent us go. Setting off very early, we went along an extreme narrow road, all in high spirits. On every side of the road were green fields and some farm house. We could hear the sound of the rain and our footsteps mixing with our laughter. At noon we reached top of the mountain. That surprised us most was the beauty of the scenery there. After having a short rest and sharing with the food we had brought, we started going down. It rained even harder. We are wet, and we still sang and laughed happily.

M: Did you watch the Oscars on Sunday, Miranda?
W: Y es, of course! I watch them every year! What did you think about what Angelina Jolie did?
M: Well, to be honest, I didn’t watch the Oscars. I guess I don’t understand why everyone likes it so much.
Text 2
M: Give me a call when you get into town. I’ll pick you up at the train station.
W: Should I call you at your office?
M: If you get in before 5:30, call the office. Otherwise, call me at home.
Text 3
M: How is your homework coming along?
W: Don’t ask. After I finish writing this p aper, I’ve got to start my research for another paper that’s due next week. And I don’t know when I’ll have time to prepare for my test that's in two days.
Text 4
W: Jerry, y ou’re leaving for school tomorrow. What can I do to help?
M: Please ask dad where my boxes are.
W: You can use these old suitcases here instead.
Text 5
M: I drove by the Taiwanese snack place, and I noticed that it’s closed. I think it went out of business.
W: You can’t be serious! I just ate there yesterday, and the owner didn’t say anything about closing down.
Text 6
M: As you can see, I have a degree in finance, and I also have three years of work experience at a major Wall Street firm.
W: Yes, but this is not exactly a finance job. It has more to do with marketing and advertising.
M: I see.., is it possible that I am in the wrong office? I thought I was applying for a financial manager position.
W: Let me give them a call and see if there was a mistake with the schedule. There might be a marketing expert downstairs with the finance people!
Text 7
W: This place is different from the supermarket we’re used to, isn’t it? I don’t come here very often because I think the prices are higher than those at supermarkets.
M: There isn’t much of a selection. I mean, there are only one or two brands of each type of product, but that makes it easier to choose things.
W: When I’m not in a hurry, I usually enjoy comparing brands and prices so I can get the most for my money.
M: At this time of night, this is probably the only place open.
W: I’m surprised at the milk prices. They’re much lower than I expected. The prices are competitive with those of the large chains.
M: The prices are low on selected items, but the shop can’t really compete with supermarkets when it comes to most things. At least there are no long lines here.
Text 8
M: So, what do you want to do? Get another drink here, or call it a night?
W: I'll have another beer. Let me buy this round.
M: OK, thanks. So, how was your date the other night?
W: Great! Jim took me to the cinema to see a film. I think he’s really nice, and he’s got a cool job—he’s a television producer, you know. He went to the National Film and Television School, and he’s been working at Channel 4 for a year now.
M: Sounds impressive. So, you think it might get serious?
W: Yeah, we have a good connection. I think he’s marriage material. We’ll see how it goes, but I’m already thinking we could have a long-term future ahead of us.
M: Isn’t it a bit early to talk about stuff like that? You’ve only been out with him twice so far.
W: No, we’ve been out three times now, and I'm seeing him again tomorrow. It's not easy finding someone you’re attracted to and have good chemistry with. I don’t see what’s
wrong with thinking about the future.
M: Well, I’d be careful if I were you. You should get to know him better before talking about marriage.
Text 9
M: I can’t sleep, Lisa. I’m go nna call in sick tomorrow.
W: You should go to see the doctor. This is the third time this week you’ve stayed up all night. Are you all right?
M: I’m not sure any more. I feel fine, and I get tired when it gets late, but then I just stay awake.
W: I’ll call Dr. Choi at nine to make an appointment.
M: I’m fine. I’ll come to bed.
W: Please do. You’ll only get a couple of hours of sleep at most before you have to wake up for work.
M: I think I should stay home.
W: Are you stressed about something?
M: Yes, it’s the new director. She is not a pleasant person to work for. Three people have quit in the past two weeks. Everyone walks around the office scared and silent.
W: Why didn’t you tell me this before?
M: I didn’t want to bother you with it. I can’t afford to quit without lining up another job.
W: I’m gonna get that raise starting next month, so you should consider that.

The student dorms are for all students. We have men’s dorms and women’s dorms. All the rooms have two beds, two closets, and two desks. There are no cooking facilities in the dorms, but you can buy a meal ticket for the cafeteria.
The international houses are groups of apartments for both foreign and local students.
They are organized into language and culture themes, and some of them have rules about speaking only a certain language during meal times. It’s a good way for students to learn other cultures and languages. I think that the Spanish house is full, but there are rooms available in all the other houses.

2021届高三下学期二月份月考试卷 英语试卷 一、 We smile because we are happy,and we frown because we are sad.Recent studies suggest that our emotions are driven by their related facial expressions. This February psychologists at the University of Cardiff in Wales found that people whose ability to frown is lessened by botox injections(肉毒杆菌注射)are happier,on average,than people who can frown.The researchers administered an anxiety and depression questionnaire to 25females,half of whom had received botox injections to stop frowning.The botox injected people reported feeling happier and less anxious in general. In a related study from March,scientists at the Technical University of Munich found that the botox subjects had much lower activity in the brain circuits(回路)involved in emotional processing and responses—in the amygdala,hypothalamus and other parts of the brain—as compared with controls who had not received treatment. The concept works the opposite way,too.People who frown during an unpleasant procedure report feeling more pain than those who do not,according to a study published in May2008in the Journal of Pain.Researchers applied heat to the forearms of29participants,who were asked to either make unhappy,neutral or relaxed faces during the procedure.Those who exhibited negative expressions reported being in more pain than the other two groups. No one yet knows why our facial expressions influence our emotions as they seem to.The associations in our mind between how we feel and how we react may be so strong that our expressions simply end up strengthen our emotions—there may be no evolutionary reason for the connection. 1.What can we know about the result of the study from Paragraph2? A.The ability to frown should be stopped by injection. B.Less frowns make people happier. C.Women love to frown and feel sad. D.Half women have no ability to feel happy. 2.What did scientists do in the related studies?
