When Tom brought his lunch to her table, Lindsey knew something was up. “Your friends are over there,” she said, nodding toward the other side of the cafeteria.
“I’d rather sit here today,” Tom replied. He took a bite out of his pizza and looked around the cafeteria. Lindsey looked straight ahead, silent.
“So, what’s new?” Tom asked. Lindsey picked at her food, pretending that she hadn’t heard him. “Look, Lindsey, I’m sorry,” Tom said. “I was just kidding about your shoes.”
“I can’t believe you said that in front of everyone,” Lindsey said. Anger rose inside her, but she kept control of herself. “My mom bought me those shoes because she
thought I would like them. Now everyone’s going to call me ‘Sparkle Toes’
forever.” She pushed her feet beneath her schoolbag, which she had placed on
the floor. She tried her best to hide the silver sports shoes with their shining
pink laces (鞋带). “I thought we were friends,” she said, looking down.
“We are friends,” Tom said. “I was just trying to be funny. How can I make it up to you?”
Finally Lindsey realized that Tom meant what he said. Plus, she had an idea. She began unlacing her shoes. “Give me your laces. You wear mine for the rest of the day,” she said. Then she glanced at the second piece of pizza on Tom’s plate. “And give me your other slice of pizza. Then we’ll be even (扯平).”

Coconut Island is a beautiful island with, of course, coconut palms (椰子树), golden beaches and clear blue sea. I’m sorry, I made a 75 there. Coconut Island was a beautiful island. There are still coconut palms, golden beaches and clear blue sea but not like before. So, what happened?
Well, I have a friend who was here five years ago. Her photo album is full of wonderful pictures of empty beaches. Also she has pictures of small, wooden bungalows (小屋) on the beach. No need to book, she said, just 76 and you have the place to yourself - very basic, cheap, quiet and peaceful.
Not anymore! The beach is 77 empty - it’s crowded all day! There is music from the cafés, children are shouting and screaming, and the hotels are
very expensive. Most of the hotels are full of holidaymakers who booked their
trip months ago. I’m lucky to have a small room at the back of one hotel, and
it’s still expensive.
But perhaps this is 78 ? Not only are the roads better but there is also a new medical clinic. The local kids now speak En glish ‘Mister, mister, you want t-shirt?’ and there are many new businesses opening all the time. 79 I see an old woman trying to cross the road from
her house to the shops. It’s no longer a small, quiet road but a large and very busy one. She looks nervous and waits for someone to walk with her. The children no longer ride bicycles but race around the island on motorbikes. It’s not so 80 either - my friend stayed in a bungalow on the beach that had no lock. Now the hotel room says it’s a good idea to put things in the safe box.
Are things getting better or worse?
75. A) decision B) noise C) living D) mistake
76. A) show up B) look up C) wake up D) take up
77. A) even B) never C) ever D) also
78. A) danger B) history C) progress D) travel
79. A) Generally B) Again C) Especially D) Then
80. A) comfortable B) awful C) safe D) boring

D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 12分)
①These days, people with serious heart problems can have a heart
transplant - in other words, another heart is put into their body to replace the
heart with problems.
②Christiaan Barnard was the surgeon(外科医生) who performed the first human heart transplant operation. Barnard was born in 1922, in his native South Africa. He studied medicine at the University of Cape Town and graduated in 1953. Then he went to the USA and studied at the University of Minnesota. He returned to the University of Cape Town in 1958 to teach surgery. No one knew very much about him - but in 1967, he became world-famous.
③On 3 December, Barnard transferred the heart of a 25-year-old woman into the body of Louis Washkansky, a 55-year-old grocer. Unfortunately, Washkansky died 18 days later. Barnard did a second transplant, on 2 January 1968, for a man called Philip Blaiberg - this was a lot more successful, as Blaiberg lived for over 18 months after the operation.
④Barnard was not the usual picture of a surgeon. Young and handsome, he spent as much time in nightclubs as he did in operation rooms. He met the Pope (教皇) in Rome and President Lyndon Johnson in the USA. He knew many beautiful film stars of the time, but all three of his marriages failed. He also performed free surgery on hundreds of very sick people.
⑤He died in September 2001, aged 78.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. (A) About dancing bears Young bears are captured in the wild, separated from their mothers, and taught by a trainer to become dancing bears in conditions of unimaginable cruelty. The young animals are forced on to sheets of really hot metal and, (25) ______ (escape) the pain, the bears alternate lifting up one paw (爪子) and then another while music is played. The process is repeated again and again (26) ______ the animals automatically begin to raise their paws – to “dance”– in fear of the pain, even when there are no metal sheets. As the bears get older, the trainers keep them under control by imposing pain. They do this by putting rings through the bears’highly sensitive noses and jaws. The pitiful truth is (27) ______ they are not put to sleep for this painful process. Chains (28) ______ (attach) to the rings so the trainers can control the animals, (29) ______ weigh up to 350 kilograms, with only a slight pull on the chains. The bears’ nails are cut several times a year and their teeth broken or removed in order that they cannot get their trainers (30) ______ (injure). The bears also suffer with an inadequate diet usually (31) ______ (consist) of white bread, sugar and cheap fruit juices. All these cause the bears serious physical health problems (32) ______ ______ many of them display strange behavior such as swaying (摇摆) and pacing as they cannot follow natural behavioral patterns and instincts. (B) The Power of Good It was Mother’s Day morning last year and I was shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving, we realised that only minutes (33) ______ (early) an elderly woman had fallen and hurt (34) ______ badly. She was embarrassed and clearly in shock.

虹口区2016年高考英语二模 2016.4 II. Grammar and Vocabulary Section A Directions: Read the following two passages. Fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word. For the other blanks, fill in each blank with one proper word. Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct. (A) “Time,” says the proverb, “is money”. This means that every moment well-spent may put some money into our pockets. If our time (25) ______ (employ) usefully, it will either turn out some useful and important piece of work which will fetch its price in the market, or it will add to our experience and increase our capacities so as to enable us to earn money when the proper opportunity comes. Let those, (26) ______ think nothing of wasting time, remember this. Our life is nothing more than our time. To kill time is therefore a form of suicide. We are shocked (27) ______ we think of death, and we spare no pains, no trouble, and no expense to preserve life. But we often care nothing about the loss of an hour or of a day, (28) ______ (forget) that our life is the sum total of the days and of the hours we live. Our life is a brief period measuring some seventy or eighty years in all. So a day or an hour (29) ______ (waste) is therefore so much life lost. But nearly one third of this has to be spent in sleep; some years have to be spent over our meals; some in watching over the sick-beds of our (30) ______ (near) relatives; some in making journeys on land and voyages by sea. Now if all these years were to be decreased from the term over which our life extends, we shall find about twenty or thirty years at our disposal(处置) for active work.(31) ______ remembers this can never willingly waste a single moment of his life. The precious hours of childhood and youth, if properly used, (32) ______ (supply) us with incalculable advantages. If we allow these morning hours of life to slip away, we shall never be able to make up for the loss. (B) Home on the Way People need homes: children assume their parents’ place as home; boarders call school “home” on weekdays; married couples work together (33) ______ (build) new homes; and travelers … have no place to call “home”, at least for a few nights. So how (34) ______ people who have to travel for extended periods of time? Don’t they have the right to have a home? Of course they do. Some regular travelers take their own belon gings: like bed sheets, toothbrushes and family photos to make them feel like home (35) ______ ______ ______ they are; some stay for long periods in the same hotel and as a result become very familiar with service and attendants; others (36) ______ simply put some flowers by the hotel window to make things more homely.
