2018-2019学年福建省仙游一中高二(上)期末英语试卷一、阅读理解(本大题共15小题,共30.0分)AA warm smile on the street,a happy"hello"in a public park or the cheerful sound of your name at the neighborhood bar-it doesn't take much to feel at home in a busy city.And in the following cities,these gestures are second nature,with locals who are quick to welcome visitors and neighbors alike.Dublin,IrelandDublin is home to some of the warmest people on the planet.One of Europe's smaller capital cities,Dublin also benefits from a low crime rate and a widespread feeling of security(安全),so residents(居民)are more likely to lend a stranger a helping hand.Locals speak in soft tones in public.Talking too loudly in public gives the impression of being careless at best,and rude at worst.Auckland,New ZealandNew Zealand's biggest city is also the country's friendliest,perhaps because many of its residents are immigrants(移民).People have come from all over the world and understand what it is like to have moved to a different place,so it is welcoming for tourists and new residents.Also,the city is surrounded by amazing scenery and things.That's got to make people a bit happier,and therefore friendlier.Charleston,United StatesThis city has a quiet outdoor environment that helps keep residents in good spirits.Even when you go to the department of motor vehicles,you get a smile.Like many southern US cities,Charleston moves at a slower pace.People take time to sit outside,talk to neighbors and walk to dinner.Victoria,CanadaA popular tourist destination with a busy cruise port,the capital of British Columbia is known for first-rate customer service and kind hosts.Even the post men and women are super friendly and often say"good morning".It's got a small town and big city feel all at the same time.1.What can be inferred from the underlined part?______A.The behavior of locals does not represent their true nature.B.It is likely that locals would be unwilling to welcome visitors.C.Locals perform the acts naturally and without thinking.D.Locals do not feel at home in these busy cities.2.In which city are locals more likely to understand tourists and new residents?______A.Dublin.B.Auckland.C.Charleston.D.Victoria.3.What is the main purpose of the passage?______A.To introduce the tourism in some cities.B.To show the friendliness of different cities.C.To make a comparison between some cities.D.To analyze the nature of people from different countries.【答案】【小题1】C【小题2】B【小题3】B【解析】21-23CBB21.C推断判断题.由第一段"it doesn't take much to feel at home in a busy city."及"with locals who are quick to welcome visitors and neighbors alike."可知,当地人很快很自然地让游客有宾至如归的感觉.因此,可以推断当地人很自然甚至不加思考地做出欢迎游客的举动.故选C.22.B细节理解题.由标题Auckland,New Zealand下第一句"⋅⋅⋅many of its residents are immigrants(移民)."及下一句"People have come from all over the world and understand what it is like to have moved to a different place,so it is welcoming for tourists and new residents."可知,很多居民是移民,那里的人们来自世界各地,所以理解移居到不同地方是怎么一回事,所以他们欢迎游客和新居民.故选B.23.B主旨大意题.第一段总领全文,介绍以下城市的当地居民热情好客,给人宾至如归的感觉,第二段介绍爱尔兰的都柏林人友好,给人温暖,第三段介绍新西兰的奥克兰人,他们大多也是移民,因此对游客和新居民非常友好热情,第四段介绍无论在美国的查尔斯顿的什么地方,你都可以感受当地人的友好,第五段介绍加拿大的维多利亚人对游客的服务质量一流.综上所述,此文主旨是展示不同城市的友好.故选B.本文介绍了都柏林、奥克兰、查尔斯顿及维多利亚等四个对游客和新居民十分友善的城市.做阅读理解时要快速的浏览全文,把握文章主旨大意,带着问题回到原文,寻找细节或概括相应的答案,最后要理清作者写作思路.BJack Armstrong sat up in the secondhand hospital bed that had been placed into a corner of his home in Cleveland.Jack had been in the military for five years when the war in the Middle East started.He'd survived his first tour in Afghanistan and earned a Purple Heart.After that he'd weathered several tours of duty in Iraq,one of which included the destruction of his Humvee while he was still inside.That injury had won him his second Purple Heart.And he had a Bronze Star on top of that for rescuing three fellow soldiers and nearly getting killed in the process.After all that,here he was,dying fast in his house in Ohio.His goal was simple:just hang on until Christmas.He sucked greedily on the oxygen coming from the line in his nose.Jack knew that one day soon it would be turned off because he'd be dead.Before Thanksgiving he was certain he would last another month.Now Jack was not sure he could make another day.But he would."I have to,"he thought to himself."Jack,Jack honey?"His wife Lizzie was bending down in front of him.She was still beautiful,though her looks had taken on a fragile edge.There were dark circles under her eyes and recently stamped worry lines on her face.Jack was the one dying,but in a way she was too.His youngest child,Mike,toddled(蹒跚)in and climbed on his dad's lap,resting his head against father's sunken chest.Jack slowly slid his arm around his two year old son.Little fat fingers grasped his forearm,and warm breath touched his skin.It felt like the sharp point of needles,but Jack simply gritted his teeth(咬紧牙关)and didn't move his arm because there wouldn't be many more of these embraces.He slowly turned his head and looked out of the window,where the snow was steadily falling.It was truly beautiful.He took his wife's hand."Christmas,"Jack said in a breathless voice."I'll be there.""Promise?"said Lizzie,her voice beginning to break."Promise."4.What made Jack win his highest military award?______A.Saving his fellow soldiers.B.Driving a damaged Humvee.C.Surviving his Afghanistan tour.D.Being in the military for five years.5.What did the author mean by saying that Jack's wife,Lizzie,was dying?______A.She was full of regrets.B.She was defeated by life.C.She suffered the same disease.D.She experienced worry and sadness.6.How did Jack feel when Mike grasped his forearm?______A.Encouraged.B.Relieved.C.Painful.fortable.7.What does the whole passage mainly tell us about?______A.Jack's survival in several wars.B.Jack's struggle against the illness.C.Jack's family's strong love for him.D.Jack's faith in medical treatment.【答案】【小题1】A【小题2】D【小题3】C【小题4】B【解析】1.A.细节理解题.由文章第一段倒数第二句"And he had a Bronze Star on top of that for rescuing three fellow soldiers"可知,他得了最高奖章是因为营救了他的三位士兵,因此A项正确.B项,由第一段第四句"After that he'd weathered several tours of duty in Iraq,one of which included the destruct ion of his Humvee while he was still inside.That injury had won him his second Purple."可知这次行动给他赢得了第二个Purple Heart,而并非highest military award,B项错误;C 项,由第一段第三句"He'd survived his first tour in Afghanistan and earned a Purple Heart."可知这次行动让他赢得了Purple Heart,C项错误;D项,由文章第一段可知,"Being in the military for five years"并不是他获得最高军彰的原因,因此错误.故正确答案为A.2.D.推理判断题.由文章第六段第二句和第三句"She was still beautiful,thought her looks had taken on s fragile edge.There were dark circles under her eyes and recently stamped worry lines on her face."可知妻子也处于崩溃的边缘,沉浸在对丈夫的担忧和悲伤中,因此D项正确.A项,"她十分后悔",文中并未提到妻子后悔,因此错误;B项,"她被生活打败了",不符合文意,因此错误;C项,"她也遭遇了相同的疾病",妻子并未患病,因此错误.故正确答案为D.3.C.细节理解题.由文章第七段第三句"It felt like the sharp point of needles"可知这种感觉像针扎一样疼,故正确答案为C.4.B.主旨大意题.文章主要讲了一位老兵经历了战争的折磨活了下来,但余生不得不在病痛中挣扎,在家人的陪同下与病魔作斗争,争取能度过圣诞节的故事,B项正确.A 项,文章第一段讲述了主人公在几次战争中存活了下来,但并非文章主旨,因此错误;C项,由文章第四五段可知,家人的爱只是支撑他活下去理由,并非文章主旨,因此错误;D项,文章并未提及,因此错误.故正确答案为B.文章主要讲了一位老兵经历了战争的折磨活了下来,但余生不得不在病痛中挣扎,在家人的陪同下与病魔作斗争,争取能度过圣诞节的故事.题目涉及多道细节理解题,推理判断题,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案,切忌胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据.CFor many people,leisure time is an opportunity to get outdoors,have some fun and meet interesting people.Add two pieces of advanced21st century technology-global positioning system(GPS)devices and the Internet-to get"geocaching".The word geocaching comes from"geo"(earth)and"cache"(hidden storage).Geocachers log onto a website to find information about the location of a cache-usually a waterproof plastic box containing small items such as toys and CDs-along with a notebook where"finders"can enter comments and learn about the cache"owner",the person who created and hid the cache.Finders may take any of the items in the cache but are expected to replace them with something of similar value.They then visit the website again and write a message to the owner.Geocaching became possible on May1,2000,when a satellite system developed by the U.S.Department of Defense was made public.Using an inexpensive GPS device,anyone on earth can send a signal to the satellites and receive information about their position.This is basically a high-tech version of orienteering,the traditional pastime which uses maps and compasses instead of GPS to determine one's location.Geocachers are a very considerate group.Owners carefully choose a cache's location to give finders an enjoyable experience,such as a beautiful view or a good campsite.They also consider the environmental impact of their cache since it could result in an increased number of visitors to an area.As for the content of the caches,owners and finders must only use items that are suitable for the whole family,as caches are found by geocachers of all ages.8.According to the passage,geocaching is______.A.an outdoor leisure activityB.a new type of technologyC.a game used to teach geographyD.a program to protect environment9.How can finders learn about the cache owners?______A.By meeting them.B.By going to a website.C.From the notebook.D.From the satellite.10.Which of the following is NOT used in geocaching?______A.A GPS device.B.A compass.C.A plastic container.D.The Internet.11.Which of the following is true according to the passage?______A.Most geocachers are adults.B.Any item can be placed in the caches.C.The caches should be put in a remote place.D.Geocachers try to avoid damaging the environment.【答案】【小题1】A【小题2】C【小题3】B【小题4】D【解析】4.A.推理判断题.根据第一段,leisure time is an opportunity to get outdoors,have some fun and meet interesting people.可知下文提到的geocaching是一种户外的休闲活动,故选A.5.C.细节理解题.根据第二段along with a notebook where"finders"can enter comments and learn aboutthe cache"owner"可知,寻宝者可以通过"笔记本"来了解宝藏的主人,故选C.6.B.细节理解题.根据第一段Add two pieces of advanced21st century technology-global positioning system(GPS)devic es and the Internet-to get"geocaching".和第二段usually a waterproof plasticbox containing small items such as toys and CDs可知,它使用了"GPS定位系统,互联网,塑料制的盒子",所以A,C,D选项都符合,而B选项"指南针"并没有提到,故选B.7.D.细节理解题.根据They also consider the environmental impact of their cache since it could result in an increase d number of visitors to an area.可知,Geocachers尝试避免破坏环境.故选D.本文是一篇社会文化类阅读,属于说明文,主要介绍了一种新型的geocaching,是增添了互联网和GPS定位系统,是一种户外的休闲活动.阅读理解考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.DWhen going through major life changes,like changing careers,I would change the people with whom I spent the most time.We've all gone through periods when the people in our lives have changed-graduation,moving to a new city,getting a new job,joining a new club,etc.I don't think I need to convince you just how much influence other people can have over your identity.If you've ever experienced a major switch in your people environment,then you know that you change as well.Most people don't make these choices consciously(意识到的)though.You might consciously decide to spend more time with a certain friend,or you may ask someone out on a date to begin a new relationship.But few people choose their existing friendships deliberately.There's no"getting rid of people".People are always dropping into and out of each other's lives.Associations grow into friendships,and friendships fade into associations.You don't get rid of anyone.The truth is that in order to make room for new people and new experiences,you may need to loosen up some of your existing connections.What about loyalty(忠诚)?Shouldn't you always be loyal to your friends?Once you have a close friend,even if his influence on you is slightly harmful,shouldn't you stick by him?Loyalty to a friend sometimes means having to let go.It means being loyal to his highest and best self as well.If someone is destroying his health by smoking,for example,you aren't showing loyalty by smoking right along with him.True loyalty sometimes requires that you break damaging connections,get yourself back on solid ground,and then decide what you can really do to help your friend.It can take a lot of courage to tell someone,"I'm sorry,but I can't have you in my life anymore."But even though this might seem like a selfish act at times,it's often the best thing for the other person too.If a relationship is holding you back in some way,understand that it's also hurting the other person.For example,if you work for a violent boss,your acceptance of that situation is considered to be silent approval,encouraging your boss to continue to behave violently.12.When experiencing major life changes,people may______.A.join a new social communityB.influence their friends aroundC.choose their friendships purposelyD.have their people environment changed13.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph3mean?______A.Everyone has at least one friend.B.It is unnecessary to make new friends.C.Friendship still exists though there are fewer connections.D.You ought to treat your old and new friends equally.14.What is the author's opinion on the loyalty to friends?______A.Never betray your close friends whatever happens.B.Correct their mistakes while you guard their goodness.C.Stick by your friends even though they do harm to you.D.Break up with your friends immediately if they smoke.15.How should we behave when employed by a violent boss?______A.We should accept what we are told to do.B.We should stay silent and be in favor of him.C.We should bravely disobey him if he is wrong.D.We should give our boss courage to continue.【答案】【小题1】D【小题2】C【小题3】B【小题4】C【解析】(1)-(4)DCBC(1).答案:D.细节理解题.根据文章第一段第一句When going through major life changes,like changing careers,I would change the people with whom I spent the most time可知,经历人生的一些变化时,人们也会改变人际关系.故正确答案为D.(2).答案:C.细节理解题.根据第三段第三句以及第四句Associations grow into friendships,and friendships fade into associations.You don't get rid of anyone可知朋友之间的关系本就是不断变化的,一会亲近一会平淡,但是友谊也依然存在.由此可以推测划线部分是说即使联系少了,但是友谊是依然存在的.故正确答案为C.(3).答案:B.细节理解题.根据第五段最后一句话True loyalty sometimes requires that you break damaging connections,get yourself back on solid ground,and then decide what you can really do to help your friend可知,真正的忠诚应该是要帮助朋友改掉错误.故正确答案为B.(4).答案:C.推断理解题.根据最后一段最后一句中if you work for a violent boss,your acceptance of that situation is considered to be silent approval,encouraging your boss to continue to behave violently可知,当我们有一个残暴无常的老板时,你的接受会助长你老板的暴力.因此,当遇到残暴的老板时,如果他错了,我们应该勇敢地反抗.故正确答案为C.本文为人生感悟类阅读,友谊在人们的联系中永远存在,要真诚地对待朋友,包括指出他们的缺点.阅读理解考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共10.0分)The key to losing weight is to understand what really motivates you.Have you ever been excited about losing a few pounds?(1)And to help you keep your weight under control,you need some coping strategies.Ask questions.When you're researching different dieting products and plans or even talkingto a doctor about diets,ask as many questions as you can.(2)Ask questions like:Do I have to purchase special meals or supplements?Does the program include a part to help me maintain my weight loss?Get real.(3)Don't burden yourself with unrealistic expectations.Remember,large amounts of weight loss are not realistic and are most likely not safe or healthy.Talk with your health care professional to determine a healthy weight goal.(4)To maintain your weight,you must balance your intake of calories with the energy you burn.Just30minutes of fast walking in most days can take about10pounds off your weight each year.Weigh yourself weekly.It's important to track your weight on any diet or weight loss plan,but don't get on the scale every day.Weighing daily won't show you the big picture.(5) A.Stay balanced.B.Once a week is fine.C.Stick with your healthy eating plan.D.Losing one to two pounds a week is a realistic goal.E.Being well informed will help you choose the best diet for you.F.Regular weight check-ins will show you your progress over time.G.If so,you must find a way to turn that excitement into determination.16.

It had an LED screen inside it.B. It had a larger mouth than the others.C. It could produce an AI-created poem.D. Poems were projected onto the lion's body.5.Which of the following best explains "randomness" underlined in Paragraph 2?______A. Lacking styles.B. Not having regular patterns.C. Being special.D.

It results in students bad research habits and skills.B. It brings too much negative information to the students.C. It distracts students attention instead of helping them academically.D. It develops their interest in doing research through the technologies.14.What's Judy Buchanans attitude towards the use of the digital research tools?______A. Supportive.B. Negative.C. Critical.D. Doubtful.15.What can be inferred from the passage?______A. The Internet is changing everybody's life.B. Teachers welcome the digital age in general.C. The Internet has more disadvantages than advantages.D.

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)AI was reading these interesting stories behind a group of great logos(标识) in the world. Personally Nike is my favorite one—it’s so simple. And I like the stories behind them, which made me forget all other things. McDonald’s, Apple, Mercedes Benz and Adidas own great logos as well, and they are among my favorites.NikeIn the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers. This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nike’s logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $35, and was registered as a trademark in 1995. McDonald’sThe logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the arch-shaped(拱形的) signs on the side of the company’s then walk-up hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were co mbined together to form the M. The McDonald’s name was added to the logo in 1968.AppleThere are different stories behind Apple’s logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didn’t stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoff’s “rainbow apple”, arainbow-colored silhouette(轮廓) of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbow-colored apple was replaced by the one-colored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far.Mercedes BenzThe Mercedes Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a simple description of a three-pointed star that represents its rule of the land, the sea and the air. The company was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Mercedes is the name of Maybach’s elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a combination with Benz, Cie and DMG in 1926.AdidasThe Adidas logo, which was created by the founder of the company Adi Dassler, represents mountains, pointing towards the challenges that are seen ahead and goals that can be achieved. The logo was used for the first time in 1967.21.What does the author think of the stories of the great logos?A.They are boring. B.They are out of date.C.They are practical. D.They are attractive.22.We can learn that Apple’s present logo is.A.a bitten apple with only one color.B.the religious story of Adam and Eve.C.Newton’s sitting under an apple tree.D.the rainbow-colored bitten apple.23.Which of the following time orders describes the births of the great logos?A.Mercedes Benz - McDonald’s - Nike - Apple.B.Nike - McDonald’s- Apple- Mercedes Benz.C.McDonald’s– Apple- Nike- Mercedes Benz.D.Nike- Mercedes Benz - McDonald’s- Apple.BBuying new clothes isn’t an easy matter for everyone, here are some tips(建议) for you .When you want to go shopping, decide how much money you can spend on new clothes.Think about the kind of clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes on sale.There are labels(标签) inside all new clothes. The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes. The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water. A sweater label may tell you to wash in cold water. The label on a coat may say “dry clean only”, for washing may ruin this coat. If you do as the directions(说明)on the label, you can keep your clothes looking their best for a long time.Many clothes today must be dry cleaned. Dry cleaning is expensive. When buying new clothes, check to see if they will need to be dry cleaned. You will save money if you buy clothes that can be washed.You can save money if you buy clothes that are well-made. Well-made clothes last longer. They look good even after they have been washed many times. Clothes that cost more money are not necessarily better made. They do not always fit better. Sometimes less expensive clothes look and fit better than more expensive clothes.24.If you want to save money, you had better buy clothes that .A.can be washed B.don’t last longC.need to be dry cleaned D.don’t fit you25.The labels inside the clothes tell you .A.how to keep the clothes looking their best B.how to save moneyC.whether the clothes fit you or not D.where to get the clothes dry cleaned26.We learn from the passage that cheaper clothes .A.are always worse made B.must be dry cleanedC.can sometimes fit you better D.cannot be washed27.The best title for the passage should be .A.Buy Less Expensive Clothes B.Taking Enough Money When ShoppingC.Being a Clever Clothes Shopper D.Choosing the Labels inside New ClothesCLast week, two companies, Kitty Hawk and Uber, announced their plans to bring flying carsto reality very soon.Imagine never having to worry about traffic, stop lights, or road construction. A flying car would get to a place much faster than one travelling by road. On the other hand, imagine having to avoid drones (无人驾驶飞机) and other flying cars. Also, what if your battery dies when you are in the air? And, how will you know where to land?Kitty Hawk is a start-up tech company supported by Google co-founder, Larry Page. According to the Kitty Hawk website, its car will be able to travel at speeds up to 40 kilometers an hour in the air. It says under US aviation law such a machine “does not require registration or a pilot’s license and may be flown in uncongested (不拥挤的) areas for recreational purposes.” As of now, the car can only be flown over fresh water.Kitty Hawk is making a list of people interested in buying the flying car. They must pay a deposit of US$100. Those who get their names on the list early will receive US$2, 000 off the final cost of the car. However, Kitty Hawk has not yet announced the price. Kitty Hawk expects its first flying cars will go on sale by the end of this year.At a conference last week, Uber announced plans for flying taxis to begin carrying passengers. Unlike the Kitty Hawk company, Uber does not plan to build its flying cars. Instead, it will use the resources of partner companies.Like the Kitty Hawk car, Uber flying taxis will use electric power. Uber says its flying taxis could travel up to 241 kilometers an hour. The company said that could reduce the travel time between San Francisco and San Jose, California from two hours on the road to 15 minutes in the air.Riders could use the Uber app to book a flying taxi to take them to their destinations. The company has not yet said how costly air taxi travel would be compared to road taxi travel. 28.What could the main problems for flying cars be?A.There is not enough space for them to land.B.They may hit other flying cars or have a dead battery in the sky.C.Sky transportation would cause more traffic jams.D.They travel much more slowly than travelling by road.29.According to the passage, the pilots of flying cars ____________.A.must be professional pilotsB.are required to fly in crowded spaceC.are not required to have a pilot’s licenseD.are not only allowed to fly in urgent situations30.What is Kitty Hawk doing to attract customers?A.Reducing the price for all customers.B.Giving rewards to those visiting its website.C.Advertising its first flying cars on public media.D.Offering a discount to those paying a deposit early.31.What is the difference between Uber and Kitty Hawk in the flying car market?A.Uber’s flying taxis will use electric power.B.Uber intends to build its flying cars to fly very fast.C.Uber prefers to use the resources of partners rather than build its flying cars.D.The trips made by Uber’s flying taxis are much cheaper than road taxis.DMuch information can be clearly conveyed, purely through our eyes, so the expression “eyes also talk” is often heard.Can you recall any experience that further proves this statement? On a bus you may quickly glance at a stranger, but not make eye contact. If he senses that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.It is the same in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward others stare at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn away his gaze(注视), his intentions are obvious. That is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is showing affection for her.However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker willonly look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking, to tell him that he is attentive.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to control you, you will feel uneasy. A poor liar(说谎者)usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes the false ideas that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.In fact, continuous eye contact happens between lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show love that words cannot express.Clearly, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and specific situation.32.What may a person usually do on a bus?A.Glance at a stranger with eye contact.B.Use eyes to talk to a stranger politely.C.Glance at a stranger without eye contact.D.Talk to a stranger politely after a quick glance.33.What does it mean if a man looks at a woman for over 10 seconds?A.He likes her eyes. B.He admires her.C.He knows her well. D.He makes contact with her.34.Why is a poor liar easy to be seen through?A.He thinks that he is honest.B.He wants to control the victim.C.He feels uneasy about others’ eye contact.D.He looks straight at the victim for too long a time.35.What may be the best title for the text?A.Eyes Can Speak B.Eye Contact MattersC.Don’t Stare at Others D.Use Your Eye Contact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白处的最佳选项。

As new kids at Monee Elementary School, they soon found themselves on the outs with other students."I would be with the other guys and see Kathleen walking down the hallway, her head down, holding her books, walking slowly. And all of us guys would be flat against the wall until she passed. Then we'd burst into laughter. How rude is that? It's just crazy." said Smit, a doctor whose wife, Tammy, organized the meeting.The women said none of the teachers cared about [it]. "We just kept it to ourselves. " Lorraine said.Over the years, Tammy Smit said, "Bruce would just start to cry attimes. He'd wonder what happened to the sisters, if they landed OK." One day a few weeks ago, Tammy took to the internet and found Mary O'Kelly, Lorraine'sdaughter, and offered to set up a meeting. The idea of revisiting the pain was not well- received by Kathleen, who had never married, let alone gone on a date. It took some convincing, but Lorraine finally got Kathleen to agree to meet with Bruce.Bruce broke into tears. "I'm so ashamed, so embarrassed," he said. "But I'm so happy you're still here and that I can finally apologize. " He said he hopes his apology will encourage others to seek forgiveness for the pain they make on others. Lorraine said, "This is a beautiful thing. It's just wonderful that a person from 60years ago can ask for forgiveness. It's like a miracle to us. It's a healing to us."(1)What can we learn from the first three paragraphs?A. Kathleen madenher classmates afraid of her at school.B. Kathleen was once hurt by her classmates at school.C. Bruce Smit asked his wife to organize the meeting.D. Bruce Smit spoke ill of Kathleen.(2)What does "it" probably refer to in the 4nd paragraph?A. The guys' meeting.B. Kathleen's slow pace.C.

Bruce was embarrassed for his apology.B. The other guys apologized to the two sisters.C. Bruce and the two sisters felt a sense of relief.D. Lorraine thought the apology came a little late.13.(★★)A walk through the galleries of Quebec's Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) places individuals face-to-face with some 43,000 artworks ranging from Chinese ceramics(陶瓷制品) to Inuit sculpture.While the visiting is an incredible cultural experience, a group of local physicians will soon be able to prescribe(开处方) museum visits as treatment for some illnesses."We know that art contributes to neural(神经的) activity," said MMFAdirector Nathalie Bondil. "What we see is that being in contact with art canreally help your well-being."Hélène Boyer, vice president of a Montreal-based medical association,explains that museum visits have been shown to increase levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter(神经传导物质) known as the "happy chemical" which helps to liftmood.According to Boyer, the small increase in hormones(荷尔蒙)associated with enjoying an afternoon of art is similar to that offered by exercise, making museum prescriptions ideal for the elderly experiencing pain that prevents them from regularly joining in physical activity.The museum visits are designed to improve traditional methods. As Bondil notes,spending time in a peaceful environment can provide a welcome distraction. "Whatis most important is this experience can help them escape from their own pain,"she says. "When you enter the museum, you escape from the speed of our daily life.""I am convinced that in the 21st century, culture will be what physicalactivity was for health in the 20th century," said Bondil. " Some people would do well to recall that just in the 19th century, sports were believed to do harm to the body. Just as doctors now prescribe exercise, they will be able to prescribea visit to the MMFA."(1)What does Hélène Boyer think of museum visits?A. They can cheer people up.B. They can reduce physical activity.C. They can slow down our life pace.D. They can increase levels of art appreciation.(2)How do museum visits affect people?A. Stop them concentrating on pain.B. Stop them focusing on traditional methods.C. Encourage them not to be absent-minded.D. Encourage them to slow their steps while walking.(3)What does the last paragraph suggest?A. Physical activities were popular in the 19th century.B. Sports are considered to be harmful to the body.C. Ideas of treating illnesses are changing over time.D. Doctors prescribe museum visits regularly now.(4)What is the main idea of the text?A. Museum visits are ideal for the elderly.B. Happy chemical helps to lift mood.C. Peaceful environment helps escape pain.D. Cultural activities will promote health.14.(★★★) Back in 1988, Red Delicious made up 70 to 80percent of the domestic apple market. Over the years, farmers sold a lot of them because they looked great. But they had a floury texture (质地), and people want an apple that's firm, crisp(脆的)and juicy. I started searching for one. By 1994, threatened by varieties from Japan and New Zealand, the U.S. apple industry and Washington State University agreed that we had to grow our own.First, we cross-pollinated(授粉) existing apples: Collect pollen from one flower, put it on the tip of a pencil eraser, and rub it into another. We crossed dozens of crisp, tasty varieties such as Gala, Fuji, and Pink Lady. But the best breed came out of Honey Crisp and Enterprise parents. We grew the cross-bred seeds into 5-foot trees,[grafted] those to rootstocks(根茎) to make them start producing quickly, and planted them in evaluation gardens. A few years later, they fruited-and we began tasting.So I would walk down long rows of hundreds and thousands of trees, and when I found an attractive fruit, I'd bite, chew, spit it out. Most were terrible,but when I found one with good texture and taste, I'd pick 10 or 20 of them. Then I put them in cold storage to see how they would hold up after a few months. After that, three or four researchers sat down and tasted every apple. We checked acidity and sugar levels, which can break down over time, and tested firmness and crispness using instruments that measure pressure and cell breakdown.When we found exactly what we wanted, we planted and tested them all over again. Eventually, we ended up with the Cosmic Crisp. It can spend nine to 12 months in storage, and stay crisp, firm, juicy and sweet.(1)What does the author mainly tell us?A. Why Red Delicious sells best.B. How good-texture apples are grown.C. Why cross-pollinated apples taste nice.D. How a new variety of apple comes into being.(2)How has the Cosmic Crisp been developed?A. By testing acidity and sugar.B. By cross-breeding with good varieties.C. By selecting fine fruits.D. By evaluating the quality.(3)Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word "grafted" in Para 2?A. Applied.B. Rubbed.C. Attached.D. Changed.(4)What can we learn from the text?A. The cross-pollinated apple seeds take a few years to grow.B. Cosmic Crisp has a longer storage life and better quality.C. Cosmic Crisp is mainly bred from Gala and Fuji.D. The quality of apple lies in its acidity and sugar.第二节(满分10分)根据短文内容,从段问候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.15.(★★★)Have you ever wondered how the trainers at Sea World get the 19,000-pound whale to jump 22 feet out of water and perform tricks? They get that whale to go over a rope farther out of the water than most of us canimagine.(1).So how do the trainers at Sea World do it? The first thing they do is reinforce(强化) the behavior that they want repeated --- in this case, to get the whale to go over the rope.(2), in a position where the whale can't help but do what's expected of it. Every time the whale goes over the rope,it's given positive reinforcement and gets fed with fish. But what happened when the whale goes under the rope? Nothing - no criticism, no warning and no feedback.(3).Positive reinforcement is the key of that simple principle that produces such splendid results. And as the whale begins to go over the rope more often than under, the trainers begin to raise the rope. It must be raised slowly enough so that the whale doesn't starve.(4).Make a big deal out of the good and little stuff that we want consistently. Secondly, under-criticize. People know they need help when they mess up.(5), people will not forget the event and usually will not repeat it.So we need to set up the circumstances so that people can't fail. Over-celebrate, under-criticize…and know how far to raise the rope.A. This is a great challengeB. And the whale stays right where it isC. If we figure out a way to motivate the whaleD. They start with the rope below the surface of the waterE. If we under-criticize, punish and discipline less than expectedF. Whales are taught that their negative behavior won't be acknowledgedG. The simple lesson to be learned from the whale trainers is to over-celebrate第三部分语言知识运用(共两节)第一节完形填空(每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.16.(★★★)Growing up in the 1960s, I was taught from an early age to send a handwritten thank-you note expressing (1) for kindness.

The claim that you can read and comprehend over 30,000 words per minute is overstated. One researcher proved this in a study where irrelevant and illogical sentences were added to a text. The "speed readers" (3) were testeddidn't notice the irrelevant lines - the non-speed readers spotted them immediately. I've interviewed people who have attended the introductory sessions (4)(offer) by some speed reading courses.(5)(them) stories indicatethat improper methods are sometimes used to sell the courses. Here's how: First,you're asked to read a passage from a book (6) which most persons wouldbe unfamiliar. Your reading speed and comprehension are tested during this exercise. Then, after about half (7) hour of instruction, another reading test is given. But this time the reading is one most educated Americans know well - such as Huckleberry Finn. Not (8)(surprising), persons attending these introductory sessions find that their "exit" speed and comprehension are better than their "entry" (9)(perform).I'm one of the fiction readers who appreciate the beauty in goodwriting.

Tour package 1&2BA couple of years ago I graduated from art school. After graduation I was unsure of what to do with my degree. I had majored in Illustration(插图)and loved it, but didn’t really feel interested in doing illustrations for any companies. This left me with few options other than freelance(自由作家)and a nannying(保姆)job.I spent two years working as a nanny doing freelance illustration on the side. It just wasn’t quite enough to pay rent, but I loved it, so I worked well over 50 hours a week trying to keep up with both.Just under a year ago I went to a friend’s wedding. I couldn’t think of a gift for them and really didn’t have a lot of money to spare so I used my talents to create a portrait for them. It wasn’t much, and I hoped it would be a good gift. When I handed the portrait to them and they unwrapped it the looks on their faces was something I did not expect. There were joyful tears in their eyes as they cried, “That’s us! This is so beautiful!”It’s funny because when I was in art school portraits were always my least favorite assignment. I hated drawing people and was always so much more interested in drawing little furry creatures. Once I saw the looks on my friends’ faces after giving them their portrait it was all over. I suddenly loved portraits and wanted to do more.I now take portraits to every wedding I go to and have given them as gifts to the families I nannied for. Every time the reaction makes all of the hard work and time I put into them so worth it.I’ve just started offering couple, family and pet portraits as an item on my first shop.4. After graduation, the author chose to ________.A. do illustrations for a companyB. draw portraitsC. work as a nanny&a freelanceD. draw furry creatures5. Why did the author decide to draw a portrait for her friends as a wedding present?A. Her friends requested her to do so.B. She thought it was meaningful.C. She hadn’t enough money available to buy one.D. She was fond of drawing people best.6. How did the customers feel when they received their portrait?A. delighted.B. frightened.C. embarrassed.D. shocked.7. What may be the best title of the passage?A. Your major is your future careerB. I gave a gift and it turned into a careerC. I sacrificed a lot for my jobD. You are to do what you desire to doCAbout a century ago, the average life-span (寿命) for Americans was about 50 years. Today, the typical American lives for around seventy-eight years.According to a German aging study, the maximum life span in industrialized countries has increased by two years every decade since the mid 19th century. What accounts for such increased longevity? Between 1900 and 1950, inventions such as refrigeration(制冷技术)and sewage treatment(污水处理)meant that young people were able to survive longer. Moreover, medical breakthroughs helped contain diseases such as polio(小儿麻痹症), which killed many children. These advances helped increase the average life span.Medical discoveries after World War II tended to benefit older people. Treatments for heart disease, for example, have allowed the elderly to live longer on average. So does this mean that future medical breakthroughs will result in even longer average life spans, or have we reached our limit? Scientists disagree.Some argue that if science is one day able to remove disease and old-age infirmity, there will be virtually no limit on how long humans can live. Some even predict that by the year 2150, the average life span will have increased to around 120 years.Other life-expectancy researchers find that scenario(假设) highl y unlikely. Our bodies’ cells can keep reproducing for only so long before they peter out(分裂). Only when science finds a way to keep our cells dividing longer will we see another significant leap in life expectancy.Still, with plenty of exercise and a hea lthy diet, those who hold the view can always hope that they’ll live long enough to break the record held by Jeanne Louise Calment of France, who lived to be 122.8. Compared with the average life-span about a century ago, the typical American lives about________ years longer at present.A. 50B. 78C. 28D. 429. After World War II, the longer average life spans mainly resulted from ________.A. refrigeration and sewage treatmentB. medical breakthroughsC. keeping the cells dividing longerD. reducing polio10. What is the scientists’ attitude towards the view “we have reached our life-span limit”?A. supportiveB. objectiveC. optimisticD. disapproving11. According to some life-expectancy researchers, keeping our bodies’ c ells reproducing before they peter out may be ________.A. impossibleB. possibleC. excitingD. concerningDCertain aspects of music have the same effect on people even when they live in very different societies, a new study reveals.Researchers asked 40 Mbenzele Pygmies in the Congolese rainforest to listen to short clips of music. They were asked to listen to their own music and to unfamiliar Western music.The same 19 selections of music were also played to 40 amateur or professional musicians in Montreal. Musicians were included in the Montreal group because Mbenzele Pygmies could be considered musicians as they all sing regularly for ceremonial purposes, the study authors explained.Both groups were asked to rate how the music made them feel using emoticons, such as happy, sad or excited faces.There were significant differences between the two groups as to whether a specific piece of music made them feel good or bad. However, both groups had similar responses to how exciting or calming they found the different types of music.“Our major discovery is that listeners from very different groups both responded to how exciting or calming they felt the music to be in similar ways,” Hauke Egermann, of the Technical University of Berlin, said in a news release from McGill University in Montreal. Egermann conducted part of the study as a postdoctoral fellow at McGill.The Montreal participants felt a wider range of emotions as they listened to the Western music than the Pygmies expressed when listening to either their own or Western music. This may be due to the different roles music plays in the two cultures.“Negative emotions are felt to disturb the harmony of the forest in Pygmy culture and are therefore dangerous,” Nathalie Fernando, of th e University of Montreal's faculty of music, said in the news release. “If a baby is crying, the Mbenzele will sing a happy song. If the men are scared of going hunting, they will sing a happy song — in general, music is used in this culture to evacuate all negative emotions, so it is not really surprising that the Mbenzele feel that all the music they hear makes them feel good,” she explained.12.
