洛阳市重点中学2014年春高二年级第一次月考英语试卷，有答案注意：时间90分钟，满分120分一卷I. 阅读理解（每小题2分，满分30分）ＡIn the past, many disabled Chinese people led very restricted (受限制的) lives. They had little chance to find work or support themselves. But their situation has improved dramatically over recent decades.In the past five years, the government has been stepping up efforts to help employ disabled people. Huge investments have been made in training, and many disabled people have found jobs and become financially independent.When Wu Zihe was growing up, she was like a prisoner in her home. Having a job was something she could only dream about. But now she is famous for her art. Wu is working on a landscape. She said, “I can earn 30 or 40 yuan for paintings like this, if they are sold in groups. If I sell them separately, I can get about 100 yuan. It only takes me one day to finish one painting, so I can earn 1,000 to 2,000 yuan a month.”Wu Zihe practices knife-drawing, which originated in her hometown Dunhua. If one has the eyes, the brain and hands, it takes about a year to learn the basic techniques.Dunhua government’s official Zhang Chunhua said, “We think it suits disabled people very well. So the government spent 10 million yuan to set up this knife-painting training center for t hem.”Training in the center is free. Even the materials are provided by the government. Since last year, the center has trained over 200 disabled persons like Wu Zihe. They usually earn 500 to 1,000 yuan per month. Sometimes they make as much as 5,000 yu an. That’ s much higher than average salaries in the area.This year, the city has set up a center to sell these works. Art fans from more than ten countries and regions have bought paintings.1. How was life for the disabled people in the past?A. They had to stay at home and had little chance to find jobs.B. According to the law, they led very restricted lives.C. With the help of the government, they led a comfortable life.D. They had to learn to paint to earn a living.2. From the passage we can learn that ________.A. the disabled had to earn a living by workingB. all the disabled have found jobs and become financially independent these yearsC. the disabled people’s living situation has improved greatly in recent yearsD. more and more disabled people will learn to paint3. From the last paragraph we can conclude that ____.A. Dunhua has set up a center to sell knife-drawing worksB. perhaps some of Wu Zihe’s paintings could be brought abroadC. only the disabled people’s paintings could be sold to foreignersD. people who like knife-drawing art have bought the disabled people’s paintings4. What would be the best title of the passage?A. A kind of folk art in China.B. Knife-drawing was first developed in Dunhua.C. A knife-painting training center in Dunhua.D. China helps the disabled find jobs.B5. According to the passage, winners .A. deal with problems rather than blame othersB. meet with fewer difficulties in their livesC. have responsible and able colleaguesD. blame themselves rather than others6. The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .A. avoidB. acceptC. improveD. consider7.

Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. A Winner’s Opportunity.B. A Winner’s Secret.C. A Winner’s Problem.D. A Winner’s Achievement.CWhat will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology(生物技术). With the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents, murder and war. Today’s leading killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories.In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells(细胞) are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond l20 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs ( The medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so on—in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.It is exciting to imaging that the advance in technology may be changing the most basiccondition of human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.9.According to the passage, human death IS now mainly caused by .A、diseases and agingB、accidents and warC、accidents and agingD、heart disease and war10.In the author’ s opinion, today’s most important advance in technology lies in.A、medicineB、the InternetC、brain cellsD、human organ11.Humans may live longer in the future because .A、heart disease will be far away from usB、human brains can decide the final deathC、the basic materials of cells will last foreverD、human organs can be repaired by new medicine12.We can learn from the passage that .A、human life will not last more than 120 years in the futureB、humans have to take medicine to build new skin cells nowC、much needs to be done before humans can have a longer lifeD、we have already solved the technical problems in building new cellsDAmong all the malignancies (恶性肿瘤), lung cancer is the biggest killer: more than 10,000 Americans die of the disease a year. Giving up smoking is one of the obvious ways to reduce the risk, but another answer may lie in the kitchen. According to a new report, even heavy smokers may be protected from developing lung cancer by a simple dietary measure: a daily portion of carrots, spinach or any other vegetable or fruit containing a form of vitamin A called carotene (胡萝卜素).The finding, published in the British medical journal ＴｈｅＬａｎｃｅｔ, is a part of a long-range investigation of diet and disease. Since 1957 a team of American researchers has monitored the dietary habits and medical histories of 2,000 middle-aged men employed by the Western Elect ric Co. in Chicago. Led by Dr Richard Shekelle of Chicago’s Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke’s Medical Center, the researchers recently began to sort out the links between the subjects’ dietary patterns and cancer. Other studies of animals and humans have suggested that vitamin A offers some protection against lung cancer. The connection seems logical, explains Shekelle, since vitamin A is essential for the growth of the epithelial (上皮的) tissue that lines the airways of the lungs.But the earlier research did not distinguish between two different forms of the vitamin. Preformed vitamin A is found mainly in liver and dairy products like milk, cheese, butter and eggs. But vitamin A is also made in the body from carotene, which is abundant in a variety of vegetables and fruits, including carrots, spinach, squash (南瓜), tomatoes, sweet potatoes and apples.In the Western Electric study, Shekelle and his colleagues found few connections between the incidence of lung cancer and the consumption of foods containing preformed vitamin A. But when they examined the data on carotene intake, they discovered a significant relationship. Among the 488 men who had the lowest level of carotene consumption, there were fourteen cases of lung cancer; in a group of the same size that ate the most carotene, only two cases developed. The apparent protective effect of carotene helps even longtime smokers, but to a lesser degree.Further studies will be necessary before the links between lung cancer and carotene can be firmly established. In the meantime, researchers warn against large numbers of vitamin A pills, because the tablets contain a form of the chemical that can be extremely poisonous in high doses. Instead, they advise a well-balanced diet that includes foods rich in carotene. For a smoker, half a cup of carrots every day might make the difference between life and death.13. Which of the following might be most helpful for people to avoid getting lung cancer?A. Eating vegetables containing carotene every day.B. Giving up smoking right now.C. Eating more fresh fruits every day.D. Eating a simple everyday diet.14. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that ________.A. Shekelle has been researching lung cancer since 1957B. the links between diet and lung cancer were discovered by Shekelle himselfC. Shekelle got the finding after monitoring 2,000 men for many yearsD. the researchers have investigated the relationship between diet and disease for half a century15. The examinations on groups of people of the same size showed that ________.A. few people got lung cancer because most of them have a well-balanced dietB. the incidence of lung cancer is closely related to the intake of caroteneC. the intake of carotene has little protective effect on longtime smokersD. the result of the earlier research is false and of no useII. 完形填空（30分）In our discussion with people on how education can help them succeed in life, a woman remembered the first meeting of an introductory__16__course about 20 years ago.The professor __17__the lecture hall, placed upon his desk a large jar filled with dried beans （豆）, and invited the students to _18_how many beans the jar contained.

An Israeli law banning too-skinny models went into effect with the start of 2013. The law, approved last March in Israel, requires models to prove they have maintained a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 18.5 for three months before a fashion show. That means a woman who is 5’8” tall can weigh no less than 119 pounds.“This law is another step in the war against eating disorders,” said physician Adatto. “Underweight models,” he explained, “can no longer serve as rold models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny.”But some critics in this country say it is misguided, focusing on weight instead of health. They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry. “I think it’s an approach that isn’t going to work.” Said eating disorder expert Susan Ice, who worked with an organization wich creates a healthy working environment for models.But Adatto told the reporter told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an aspiring model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized. He said. "I realized that on ly legislation can change the situation. There was no time to waste, so many girls were dieting to death."However, the efforts to regulate models’s weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health."？Still, folks including Ice say there's no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with. "Certainly I don't believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders, but it makes it harder," she says. "It's a difficult recovery environment, worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal."1．What does BMI in the first paragraph refer to?A．A measure of body health based on height and weight.B．A worldwide prize for the healthies model.C．A new show held by those skinny models.D．A kind of medicine to cure eating disorders.2．One benefit the new Israeli law may bring is .A．to change the working conditions of modelsB．to lower the chance of skinny models’s deathC．tp [revent models from suffering from eating disordersD．to provide guidance for women worshiping thinness3．In the opinion of the critics, the law won’t succeed because.A．it misleads young women to form a bad eating habitB．the fashion industry is much too influentialC．it doesn’t provide a proper approach that can work wellD．it doesn’t create a healthy working environment for models4．What cause Adatto to think that a law was needed to change the situation?A．Establishing his fashion-model agent.B．Metting an ambitious but too skinny model.C．Being interviewed by a reporter.D．Seeing a model die from eating disorders.5．According to the passage, the new Israeli law banning skinny models is .A．practical B．acceptable C．reasonable D．controversial38.

The legal limit for driving after drinking alcohol is 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilite rs of blood, when tested. But there is not sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach this limit. It varies with each person depending on our weight, your sex, if you’ve just eaten and what sort of drinks you’ve had. Some people might reac h their limit after only about three standard drinks.In fact, your drinking ability can be affected by just one or tow drinks. Even if you’re below the legal limit, you could still be taken to court if a police officer thinks your driving has been affected by alcohol.It takes about an hour for the body to get rid of the alcohol in one standard drink. So, if you have a heavy drinking session in the evening you might find that your driving ability is still affected the next morning, or you could even find t hat you’re still over the legal limit. In addition, if you’ve had a few drinks at lunchtime, another one or tow drinks in the early evening may well put you over the legal limit.In a test with professional drivers, the more alcoholic drinks they had had t he more certain they ere that they could drive a test course through a set of moveable posts and the less able they were to do it !So the only way to be sure you’re safe is not to drink at all.Alcohol is a major cause of road accidents. One is three of the drivers killed in road accidents have levels of alcohol which are over the legal limit, and road accidents after drinking are the biggest cause of death among young men. More than half of people stopped by the police to take a breath analyzer test have a blood alcohol concentration of more than twice the legal limit.It is important to remember that driving after you’ve been drinking doesn’t just affect you. If you’re involved in an accident it affects a lot of other people as well, not least the perso n you might kill or injure.1. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Three standard drinks may cause some people to reach the legal limit.B. There is no sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach the legal limit.C. The legal limit for driving after drinking is 0.008 gm of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood.D. The amount of alcohol a person can drink before reaching legal limit is the same for different people.2. If the police think that you have been drinking from the way you are driving , you’ll possibly _______.A. be finedB. receive a severe punishmentC. be taken to court by the policeD. feel guilt3. We may infer that even a professional driver will find hard to pass through a set of moveable posts if he drinks _______.A. heavilyB. a littleC. every dayD. occasionally4. This passage indicated that ________.A. a driver who does not take any alcohol will not die in road accidentsB. those who drink must be killedC. more young men die in drink-related accidents than in any other wayD. one is three of the drivers often drinks a lot5. One of the writer’s purposes in writing the passage is to tell you that _______.A .young men should never drive quicklyB. driving after drinking may put many lives at riskC. safe drinking is impossibleD. the manner of drinking is meaningless40. Four out of ten women who diet end up heavier than when they started watching their waistline（腰围）, a study revealed today. The research also showed that a large percentage of women start noticing the pounds creeping back on just 21 days after reaching their ideal weight. Yesterday, Dr Ian Campbell of the Jenny Craig weight management program said: “In the UK 61.4 per cent of adults are overweight or obese. Successful weight management requires a long-term commitment in order to lose weight successfully and for good. Dieting can be a real challenge so setting realistic goals and remaining focused on them is important. Otherwise as this research shows, women coul d end up heavier than when they started.”The “Food: Body: Mind” report was publicized by Jenny Craig who quizzed 2000 women aged between 18 and 65 who diet regularly on their attitudes, beliefs and behaviors around weight loss. Six in ten said they are currently on a diet and one in five women said they are on a “continuous diet”.It found the most common triggers to start dieting was seeing their “reflection in the mirror”, preparing for a summer holiday or unflattering photos posted on social networking sites. Other popular reasons include comments by friends or relatives or their other half.However, the study showed that one in ten give up within one day, while almost a fifth manage to make it to a week or more. The average is ten days. Many blamed pres sure they put on themselves to lose weight too quickly for the weight gain, which leaves them with a bigger appetite than normal. Others blamed colleagues, who tuck into fatty lunches and snacks unaware of the effect it has on the dieter, while mothers who polish off their children's leftovers（剩饭）was another common cause of weight gain.1. Which of the following might be the best title for this article?A. Three reasons to fail in dietingB. Important things for successful dietC. Obesity: problem for 61.4% adults in UKD. Four in ten women gain weight on diets2. In the UK, women who go on a diet __________.A. are all overweight or obeseB. are likely to gain weight again after reaching their ideal weightC. all fail because they are not persistent enoughD. end up heavier than when they start to diet3. The underlined word “triggers” in Paragraph 4 probably means __________.A. effectsB. examplesC. causesD. imagination4. Which of the following is NOT the reason why many people quit dieting very soon?A. The pressure they put on themselves to lose weight quickly.B. Colleagues who give them fatty lunches and snacks.C. Reflections they see in the mirror.D. Leftovers of children’s taken by their mothers.5. In which column of the newspaper do you probably find the passage?A. Health.B. Economy.C. Sports.D. Education.六、书面表达41. 假定你是李华，从互联网（the Internet）上得知一个国际中学生组织将在新加坡(Singapore)举办夏令营，欢迎各国学生参加。

He started 26 in the 7th grade and by high school he was only going to school half days, leaving at 11 am to go to work.Lack of money meant lack of 27 opportunities, but he had a 28 for knowledge. In his 29 time he read books on human development, vocabulary builders, 30 that he thought would help him succeed 31 down the road.He was a hard worker and rose above his lack of higher education to produce decently for his family, 32 the factory life was taking it toll (造成伤害) on him 33 , emotionally, and spiritually. It was, in his mind, 34 him like a slow poison.In 1995 he bought his first computer and a few months later discovered the Internet. He wanted to be a part of it, and worked 48 or more hours in the 35 and worked 36 40 or more hours a week teaching 37 computer skills. He worked harder than he 38 had in his life, logging over 100 hours a week on many, many 39 .Scot began applying for jobs in the Internet and computer fields. He was shot down many times, but he never 40 . He had a goal and kept after it even when he didn’t feel like it because anything else seemed so 41 . That kind of drive and perseverance (坚持不懈) almost always pays off.I’m 42 to say Scot left the factory and took a job in the computer field.

No notebooks, no textbooks, no test paper. Nor are there any pencils or pens, which always seem to run out of ink at the critical moment.A “paperless classroom” is what more and more schools are trying to achieve.Students don’t do any handwriting in this class. Instead, they use palm size, or specially-designed computers. The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every student’s personal computer.Having computers also means that students can use the Web. They can look up information on any subject they’re stud ying from math to social science.High school teacher Judy Harrel in Florida, US, described how her class used the Web to learn about the war in Afghanistan (阿富汗) before.“We could touch every side of the country through different sites from the forest t o refugee camps (难民营)”, she said. “Using a book that’s three or four years old is impossible.”And exams can go online too. At a high school in Tennessee, US, students take tests on their own computers. The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them to his own electronic grade book.A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper. High school teacher Stephanie Sorrell in Kentucky, US, said she used to give about 900 pieces of paper each week to each student.“Think about the money and trees we could save with the computer,” she said.But, with all this technology, there’s always the risk that the machines will break down. So, in case of a power failure or technical problems, paper textbooks are still widely available for these hi-tech students.46. What does “run out of ink at the critical moment” in the first paragraph mean?A. Pens may not write well at the critical moment.B. Pens get lost easily, so you may not find them at the critical moment.C. Pens may have little or no ink at the critical moment.D. Pens use ink, while pencils don’t.47. The high school teacher, Judy Harrell, used the example of her class to show that ______.A. the Web could take them everywhereB. the Web taught them a lotC. the Web is a good tool for informationD. the Web, better than the textbooks, can give the latest and comprehensive (全面的) information48. The paperless classrooms will benefit ______ most.A. studentsB. teachersC. treesD. computersB10 Days to More Confident Public SpeakingBy The Princeton Language Institute, Lenny LaskowskiPaperback: 224 pagesPublisher: Warner BooksISBN: 0446676683This book is a course on giving public talks.

Which of the following people used to write speeches for presidents？A. Rechard Dowis.B. Janet E. Esposito.C. Lenny Laskowski.D. William Satire.CIn nineteen ninety-nine, twelve percent of public elementary schools in the United States required students to wear uniforms. Just three years later, estimates were almost double that.A study of six big-city Ohio public schools showed students who were required to wear uniforms had improved graduation, behavior and attendance rates. Academic performance was unchanged.Some middle and high schools in Texas have also joined the movement. Yet studies find mixed results from requiring uniforms. And some schools have turned away from such policies.Supporters believe dressing the same creates a better learning environment and safer schools. The school district in Long Beach, California, was the first in the country to require uniforms in all elementary and middle schools. The example helped build national interest in uniforms as a way to deal with school violence and improve learning.Findings in Long Beach suggested that the policy resulted in fewer behavior problems and better attendance. But researcher Viktoria Stamison, who has looked at those findings, says they were based only on opinions about the effects of uniforms.She says other steps taken at the same time to improve schools in Long Beach and statewide could have influenced the findings. The district increased punishments for misbehavior. And California passed a law to reduce class sizes.In Florida, for example, researcher Sharon Pate found that uniforms seemed to improve behavior and reduce violence. In Texas, Eloise Hughes found fewer discipline problems among students required to wear uniforms, but no effect on attendance.Sociologist David Brunsma has studied school uniform policies since nineteen ninety-eight. He collected thereports in the book. In his own study, he found that reading and mathematics performance dropped after a school in rural Pennsylvania required uniforms.Political and community pressures may persuade schools to go to uniforms to improve learning. But David Brunsma and others believe there is not enough evidence of a direct relationship. In fact, he says requiring uniforms may even increase discipline problems.52. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. More and more students are required to wear uniforms in the US.B. Wearing uniforms contributes to good academic performance.C. Researchers in the US argue for school uniform policies.D. Evidence for school uniform policies in the US is seen as weak.53. Which was/were the first in the US to require uniforms in all elementary and middle schools?A. Six big-city Ohio public schools.B. The school district in Long Beach, California.C. Some middle and high schools in Texas.D. Some elementary and middle schools in Florida.54. Which of the following researchers are NOT supporters of school uniform policies?A. Viktoria Stamison and Sharon Pate.B. Sharon Pate and David Brunsma.C. Eloise Hughes and Sharon Pate.D. Viktoria Stamison and David Brunsma.55. The underlined word “misbehavior” in the sixth paragraph probably means ______.A. serious crimeB. bad performanceC. absence for classD. action against wearing uniforms56. We caninfer from thepassage that______.A. morework isneeded to get better information about uniform’s effectB. the number of schools requiring uniforms in the US will decline sharplyC. wearing uniforms has little to do with behavior and learningD. politicians and communities won’t vote for uniform policiesDA solution called a mordant (媒染) is used in the dying process. A mordant helps fix the dye to the material. Traditionally, mordants were found in nature. Wool ash is one example. But chemical mordants such as alum are popular today. Alum is sold in many stores. It is often mixed with cream of tartar, a fine powder commonly used in cooking.Mix eight grams of alum with seven grams of cream of tartar in a small amount of hot water. Add the solution to a metal pan of cool water. Next, add the wool and place the mixture over heat. Slowly bring the liquid to eighty-two degrees Celsius. Heat the mixture for forty-five minutes. After it cools, remove the wool and wash it.To prepare the dye solution, cover thirty grams of onionskins with water. Use only the dry, brown outer skins. Boil the liquid until the onionskins lose their color, about forty-five minutes. Remove the skins after the dye cools.Now it is time to dye the wool. Place the wool into the dye and heat the mixture. Bring it to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to eighty-two degrees. Now heat the dye for about forty-five minutes or until the wool is the desired color. Keep in mind that wet wool looks darker than it is.Once the dye cools, remove the wool and wash it. Now the wool is orange or yellow. Or at least it should be.57. According to the passage, mordants are ________.A. dyes used in the dying processB. materials which will be put dye toC. wood ashes used in the dying processD. not dyes but play an important role in the dying process58.

Mordant.D. Temperature.60.

They want to do everything they watch on TV and never think of the consequences, and they may hurt a classmate or a teacher．On the other hand, parents are not fully satisfied with the children’s results obtained i n classes and they consider private classes would have better results. When a teacher has to watch 30 students in class he can’t probably see what each of them is doing, how he is writing, or if he understands the explanations．At home the teacher can explain in details everything the child doesn’t understand as many times as he considers proper. And many times the child grows fond of the teacher at home, who becomes his best friend, and who helps him whenever he needs someone to talk to．However, the best solution would be a mixture between the education received at school and that at home, because school makes children communicate and socialize．Keeping a child at home for fear there might happen something bad to him only makes the child’s character weak and prevents him from knowing what real life is．Staying in a crystal ball only does harm to the child．All in all, schools have been created to help children, not to harm them, so it’s best to keep children in these special places, where they learn, laugh, have fun and make new friends．31. The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to ________．A. teach parents the ways to keep their children safeB. show solutions to developing children’s characterC. explain the main reason for violence acts in schoolsD. analyze an education problem and give opinions32. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Advantages and Disadvantages of Private ClassesB. Who is to Blame, Parents or Schools?C. Which Is Better, School Study or Home Study?D. The Relationship between Teachers and Children33. What does “a crystal ball” in the passage refer to?A. A toy that can be used for entertainment．B. A safe and comfortable environment．C. A round object that is made of crystal．D. An obstacle that is hard to overcome．34. We can infer from the passage that ________．A. violence TV programs have bad effects on children’s behaviorB. the teacher at home is more patient than the teacher at schoolC. children today are weak from lack of sense of right and wrongD. there are too many students in class for a teacher to teachBAre you feeling stressed out? Anxious? Is your mind racing in circles? Are you worried about all the things you have to get done? Here’s a quick—acting trick that can make you feel better. If you are sitting at a desk, place the palm of your hand on the desk, and take a moment to focus on what the surface of the desk feels like. Is it hot or cold, rough or smooth? Put all of your attention on the sensations in your palm, on how the desk feels under your hand. If you are not at a desk, do the same exercise by placing your palm on any nearby object—a wall, a chair, even your opposite arm.When you are feeling stressed, your thoughts tend to take on a life of their own. You may be thinking about things you wish you had done differently in the past or worrying about things that you have to do in the future. These thoughts will make you feel anxious. The anxiety, in turn, increases the number of anxious thoughts.If you can ground yourself even for a moment in the present, you will break the cycle and feelinstant relief. Paying attention to what objects in your environment feel like forces you to pay more attention to the present moment than to negative, anxiety—provoking (刺激的，诱发的)thoughts about the past or about the future.Try using your other senses too:Try closing your eyes for a second(don’t try this while driving!) and breathe deeply through your nose. What do you smell?When eating, put all your attention on how your food tastes.What do you hear? What little noises are there around you that you didn’t notice before?Look closely at an ordinary object. Do yo u see anything you haven’t noticed before?35. By saying“Is your mind racing in circles”, the author intends to mean that______.A. you did something wrong in the past and wouldn’t forgive yourselfB. your mind is quick and bright when in a state of anxietyC. you are thinking in a stupid way when anxious thoughts worries you a lotD. you worried a lot and the anxious thoughts will increase your anxiety36. The author advises to put your palm on the desk or any things nearby in order to ____A. play a small trickB. feel the surface of the objectC. do some exercisesD. reduce your anxiety37. The writer mentioned some senses that could be used to reduce stress except the _____.A. sense of touchingB. sense of smellC. sense of humourD. sense of listening38. Which of the following can be served as a title for the article?A. Frist Aid to Anxiety----SensesB. How Anxiety WorksC. The Cause of Anxiety—SensesD.

Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso were not yet born. The Eiffel Tower was 14 years from being built. As a teenager, she met Vincent Van Gogh, near her home in Arles, in the south of France. He was “very ugly, ungracious, impolite, sick—I forgive him, they called him loco.” She recalled. When she died last week at age 122, she was the world’s oldest person. (There were others who claimed to the title, but only Calment had the official documents to prove her age) Each February 21, her birthday, she would share the secrets o f long life. Some years it was “a sense of humor”, others it was “keeping busy”. “God may have forgotten me,” she once explained. The truth probably was that she had good genes. Her mother reportedly lived to be 86 and her father 94.Her life had its sadness: she outlived her husband, her only daughter and her grandson. According to a friend, she was imperturbable. “If you can’t do anything about it,” she reportedly said, “don’t worry about it.”In her last years she was nearly blind and deaf, but her health remained good. She ate a few bars of chocolate each week and continued smoking until a few years ago, when she could no longer light her own cigarettes. She never lost her sense of humor. On her 110th birthday, she commented, “I have only ever had on e wrinkle, and I am sitting on it.” Her longevity made her famous. Her spirits made her eternal(永恒的)43. Why does the author mention Albert Einstein, Pablo Picasso and the Eiffel Tower?A. To show that Calment had seen famous people and things.B. To emphasize that Calement was born a long time ago.C. To indicate that Calement is just as famous.D. To admire the knowledge that Calement had.44. The author believes that Calment’s longevity is mainly due to _____.A. a sense of humorB. being kept busyC. belief in GodD. good genes45. The underlined word “imperturbable” means ______.A. calmB. humorousC. friendlyD. healthy46. Toward the end of the story, the author seems to be impressed by Calment’s _____.A. attitudeB. religious beliefC. knowledgeD. LifestyleEWhat’s your idea of a good time? What about dancing in a rainy field with one hundred and fifty thousand other people while a famous rock band plays on a stage so far away that the performers look like ants?It may sound strange but that is what many hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK do every summer．Why? Because summer is the time for outdoor music festivals．Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular festival in the UK．It began in 1970 and the first festival was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of ￡1 — the ticket included free milk from the farm．Since then the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength —in 2004 one hundred and fifty thousand fans attended, paying ￡112 each for a ticket to the three-day event．Tickets for the event sold out within three hours．Performers included superstars, such as Paul McCartney and James Brown, as well as new talent, like Franz Ferdinand and Joss Stone．Although many summer festivals are run on a profit-making basis, Glastonbury is a charity event, donating millions of pounds to local and international charities．Glastonbury is not unique in using live music to raise money to fight global poverty．In July of this year, the Live 8 concerts were held simultaneously （同时）in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin．Superstars such as Madonna, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder performed in order to highlight(突出；强调；使显著) international poverty and debt．47. What do es the author mean by saying “the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength”?A. The festival has achieved growing success．B. Great efforts have been made to hold the festival．C. The festival has brought in a large amount of money．D. There have been thousands of fans attending the festival．48. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.

Both James Brown and Joss Stone were born in poor families．D. In the 1970 Glastonbury Festival, one could have lunch on the farm for free．49. We can learn from the last paragraph that _____．A. the Glastonbury Festival is not so popular as the Live 8 concertsB. the Live 8 concerts are held every year in LondonC. London, Paris, Rome and Berlin are famous for outdoor music festivalsD. some superstars are concerned about global poverty50. What is the best title for the passage?A. How to have a good timeB.

It could be something as simple as not gettingthe job you wanted, or getting fewer marks even after hard work. But what makesyou is not your failure, but how you get back up after being hit.Once, a young school boywas caught in a fire accident in his school and was assumed that he would notlive. His mother was told that he was sure to die, for the terrible fire haddestroyed the lower half of his body.

With his iron determination, he did develop theability to stand up, then to walk on and off, then to walk by himself and thento run.He began to walk to school,and then run to school, to run for the joy of running. Later in college he wason the track team.In February 1934, in NewYork City’s Madison Square Garden, this young man who was not expected tosurvive, who would surely never walk, who could never hope to run - thisdetermined young man, Dr. Glenn Cunningham, ran the world’s fastest mile.A good example of the powerof positive thinking and faith in oneself, Glenn Cunningham continues to be aninspiration for many, and his story, a brilliant evidence to how one can bounceback even when all difficulties are piled against one, to the degree that deathseemed the preferable option.（1）The first paragraph is intended toA . present an argumentB . make preparations for statementC . arouse readers’ interestD . function as a brief introduction（2）What was the doctor’s opinion about Glenn?A .

These colourful and sweet jewels form British Columbia’s fields arelittle powerhouses of nutritional protection.Ofthe common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because oftheir seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein , iron and zinc . Blueberries areparticularly high in antioxidants . The yellow andorange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitaminA and which are antioxidants. As for cherries , theyare so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.Whencombined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellentbase for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For thispurpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter.Remove the skinand place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeezeof fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananaswill last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of thefreezer.Ifyou have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berriesor sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve”creamy dessert, to be eatenright away.

But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, fromcloser to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.When it comes to technologyand reading, the report does little to counsel parents looking for dataabout the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out thatmany parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns aboutincreased screen time.The most hopeful datashared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples andimportant guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kidsand teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have morebooks in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often,and parents who set aside time for them to read.As the end of schoolapproaches, and school vacation reading lists loom ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make theirown summerreading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.（1）What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?A . Children’s reading habits.B . Quality of children’s books.C . Children’s after-class activities.D .

得夺市安庆阳光实验学校高二上学期英语月考测试10月满分（150）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 in a shopping mall recently, and I decided to go and get a cup of tea. As I was making my way to the coffee shop, I noticed an old gentleman rather poorly dressed sitting on a bench nearby. I knew from the first sight that he was in need of some kind of help. He had a little lunch in front of him and was wholeheartedly enjoying it.There was a young man in front of me in the line also waiting to be served. The young man handed the servant a twenty-dollar bill and asked for an orange juice as well as a favor. The servant looked at the young man with a little surprise, not fully understanding him. The young man asked her to give the juice to the old gentleman eating his lunch outside on the bench. The young man also told her that he would be watching every second so that she would be completely safe at all times. Later, there was a wonderful exchange (交换) between the waitress and the old man.I only wished I had taken a photo of the smiles on both of their faces.As I was thinking about this event later on, I wondered why the young man didn’t just perform this act of kindness himself. I thought he was hoping that this act of kindness might inspire others to do something for the old man as well. Thinking of the happy smiles on the old man’s face, I felt how worthwhile it is to help others.21. The underlined word “favor” in Para. 2 refers to .A. passing the young man a cup of orange juiceB. buying lunch for the old manC. giving the juice to the old manD. exchanging meals with the old man22. Which of the following can be used to describe the young man?A. Humorous and helpful.B. Generous and proud.C. Rich and friendly.D. Kind and considerate.23. In the author’s opinion, the young man asked the serva nt to take the juice to the old man so that .A. more people would be inspired to do good deedsB. he would become famous for his good deedC. the old man could probably accept itD. he would become a friend of the servantBThe Horn of Plenty is one of the largest natural health food stores within the Greater Hamilton area. We are big supporters of buying locally and we are here to tell you why it is so important for your family, the community and the environment.The concept (概念) of buying locally is simple: buy food produced, grown, or raised as close to your home as possible. Not only will your food be fresher and tastier, but you are helping protect the environment and are supporting businesses within your community and reducing pollution.Better for the environmentSustainability (持续性) and global warming are such hot topics at the moment, and many people want to do their bit to help support a healthier environment. Small action carried out by many people can make a big difference. Most materials in an average North American meal have traveled about 1,500 miles to get from farm to plate. To cut out a big part of this travel would greatly reduce not only pollution from transportation and refrigeration but also customers’ expenses as well.Taste and nutritional contentLocally-grown fruits and vegetables are usually sold within 24 hours of being harvested. Because they are picked at the height of ripeness (成熟) and travel only a short distance to the market, their freshness, nutrition, and flavor are kept. Produce trucked in from far away may lose both taste and nutritional content.Community and home valuesWhen you buy direct from a farmer or buy locally-grown foods, you are engaging in a time-honored tradition between a grower and an eater. You also help keep dollars within your community.24. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that .A. global warming is the most serious problem nowB. the increased cost of transporting food is passed on to the customersC. North American food is rich in various kinds of materialsD. most people support buying locally25. Locally-grown fruits and vegetables taste good mostlybecause .A. they are sent to the market at a high speedB. they are not polluted by chemical fertilizerC. they can be harvested at any timeD. they are picked when they are fully grown26. According to the author, when you buy locally-grown foods .A. you can see how fruits and vegetables growB. you will become much healthier and prettierC. you will contribute to protecting the environmentD. you are making money from your community27. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The benefits of buying locally.B. The popularity of the Horn of Plenty.C. The importance of protecting the environment.D. The way to keep your food tasty and healthy.CPeople often say that money talks. They mean that a person with a lot of money can say how he or she wants things done. But it is not easy to earn enough money to gain this kind of power.Sometimes people in business feel businesses are as dangerous as wild animals in a jungle. They have to be careful if they are to survive the jungle out there. They must not be led into making bogus investments (). Bogus means something that is not real. It was said that the word came from a criminal (罪犯) whose name was Borghese. Borghese wrote checks to people although he didn’t have money. After he wrote the checks, he would disappear. So, people who were paid with his checks received nothing.People trying to earn money also must be aware of being ripped off.A person who is ripped off has had something stolen, or at least has been treated unfairly. To keep from getting ripped off in business, people had better try to earn money step by step instead of getting rich quickly.To be successful, a person in business works hard and tries to get down to brass tacks. For example, a salesman may talk about his product without saying the price. You get down to brass tacks when you say, “It sounds good, but how mu ch does it cost?” Word experts thought the expression came from sailors on ships. They cleaned the bottom of a boat. After they finished, they were down to the brass tacks, the copper pieces that held the boat together. So, if we get down to brass tacks, we can avoid rip-offs and bogus ways of earning money.28. What would happen to those people who make bogus investments?A. They would lose a lot of money.B. They would disappear after that.C. They would receive nothing but checks.D. They were more likely to be punished by law.29. The best way to avoid being ripped off in business is to .A. work as hard as possibleB. ask for checks in advanceC. avoid becoming wealthy eagerlyD. earn as more money as you can30. When doing business, people prefer to get down to brass tacksto .A. keep themselves from being fooledB. develop more ways of earning moneyC. reduce their production costsD. get in touch with more partners31. In which part of a newspaper can we find this passage?A. News and business.B. The history of language.C. Words and their stories.D. Funny new expressions. DMore often than not, people will look at the phone screen to check for new messages or have a quick look at Facebook. Researchers have now found why we often feel such a strong need to look at our phones. Using the mobile phone, they say, is contagious (蔓延的).A team says people are twice as likely to pull out their phones to check their text messages or e-mails if they’re with someone that has just done the same. They also found that women were more likely to use their mobile phones than men. The team watched students in dining halls and coffee shops around the college, observing pairs of college students sitting at tables for as long as 20 minutes and recording their cellphone use. “What we found most interesting was just how often people were using their mobile phones,” Dr. Daniel Kruger, the study’s co-author, said. “Every person we studied used his or her phone at least once while one woman was on hers about half of the time. People saw others checking their incoming messages and began to check their own.”“Cellphones create another choice for one’s attention and may both support and disagre e with live social activities,” the researchers wrote. Kruger believed this could be explained by the effects of social inclusion (包含) and exclusion (排除). If one person in a pair starts a conversation through his phone, the other one may feel excluded and then feel the need to get in touch with others so as not to feel left out.The researchers note that they might not get the same result in a study of different people—for example, older adults, who may not havea habit of using cellphones so often.32. From the study we can learn that .A. people can affect each other in using mobile phonesB. using mobile phones has nothing to do with social activitiesC. men are more likely to be affected by others’ using mobile phonesD. the sound of mobile phones makes using mobile phones contagious33. If old adults are studied, the researchers .A. will find that old adults don’t like to use mobile phonesB. will find that mobile phones are harmful to healthC. will no longer like using mobile phonesD. may reach a different result34. Which can best describe the author’s attitude towards using mobile phones?A. Supportive.B. Objective.C. Indifferent.D. Opposed.35. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. How to use mobile phones correctlyB. Why college students like mobile phonesC. Relation between mobile phones and people’s hobbiesD. Something interesting about the habit of using mobile phones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。

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.AIn England, people often talk about the weather because they can experience (经历) four seasons in one day. In the morning the weather is warm just like in spring. An hour later, black clouds come and then it rains hard. The weather gets a little cold. In the late afternoon, the sky will be sunny, the sun will begin to shine, and it will be summer at this time of a day.In England, people can also have summer in winter, or have winter in summer. So in winter they can swim sometimes, and in summer sometimes they should take warm clothes.When you go to England, you will see that some English people usually take an umbrella (伞)or a raincoat with them in the sunny morning, but you should not laugh at them. If you don't take an umbrella or a raincoat, you will regret (后悔) later in the day.56. Why do people in England often talk about the weather?A. Because they may have four seasons in one dayB.

Where can you learn the skill of climbing then? If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb, you’re wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms. Here, people are learning on climbing. The climbing wall goes straight up and small holding places for hands and feet.How do people climb the wall? To climb, you need special shoes band (保护带) around your chest to hold you. There are ropes tied to you. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall. A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high, and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the new piece of metal. Sometimes, it’s not. The most difficult is your fear. It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult n ot to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall, and the ropes hold you, and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top.Climbing attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body, especiall y your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb, both your mind and your body can become stronger.61. What can we infer from the passage?A. People are fairly interested in climbing nowadays.B. It is impossible to buil d up one’s body by climbing.C. People can only learn the skill of climbing outdoors.D. It is always easy to see holding places in climbing.62.

When the bell rings, students of Luohu Foreign Languages School in Shenzhen quickly take out their cell phones. They want to log on to their micro blogs to check the interesting things that have happened in the last hour.Since last year, the trend (潮流) of micro blogging has swept the country. Recent surveys shows that most students in middle schools have a micro blog and some even update their blogs over five times per day."We learn many fresh and interesting things on micro blogs and they have become popular topics in class," said Andy Liang, 14. "If you do not know about them, you are out."It is also a great place for students to let out stress. "My parents always ask me to study hard, and encourage me before exams, but it really adds pressure," said Simon Zhang, 15. "When I share these feelings on my micro blog, I get many replies from friends in the same situation, which makes me feel better."But parents are worried that micro blogging could be a waste of time. Some misleading messages may even cause danger to kids, they said.Mr. Shen, a professor at the China Education Association, suggests parents not worry too much as long as kids are not crazy about micro blogging. Maybe it can become a window for parents to understand their children. "If parents can read their children's micro blogs, they'll know their thoughts, thus leading to better communication and solutions to problems," he said. He also gives some tips for kids.-Don't micro blog for more than one hour a day.-Never micro blog in class.-Try to talk face to face with people from time to time.-Be critical(批判性的). Don't trust all the messages on a micro blog.66. Students log on to their micro blogs to .A. check the thingsB. write articlesC. listen to musicD. call their parents67.

Why are parents worried so much?A. Because they think micro blogging could be a waste of time.B. Because they think some misleading messages may cause danger to kidsC. Because they think not only could micro blogging be a waste of time but also they think some misleadingmessages may cause danger to kids.D. Because they don’t have much kno wledge about micro blogging.70. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. It's good for kids to micro blog for more than one hour a day.B. Kids should trust all the messages on a micro blog because they are useful.C. The trend of micro blogging has swept the country since five years ago.D. Kids should try to talk face to face with people, not just micro blogging.Part ⅣWriting (45 marks)Section A (10 marks )Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Kids are loveable. With them around, our lives are brighter and more fun. Also our kids change the atmasphere of our house. When they’re in the house, it appears that eve ry negative thing seems to disappear, and brighter moments start to appear. If they aren’t around, our life seems dull and boring, which is why we miss them when they’re gone. Yes, kids can change our lives but the question is: what can we offer them in re turn? As parents, it is our duty and our responsibility to provide our kids with what they need.Then what are the basic needs of our kids? Firstly, it’s important to give kids the right foods and nutrition they need. Keep in mind that these foods aren’t just those foods found in stores and other fast food restaurants. Instead, our kids need foods that are rich in nutrients.Secondly, it’s our duty to make sure our kids are safe all the time. We can give our family a good and simple house depending on our money but the important thing is that they feel secure. Our kids will appreciate it very much if we give them their play room or bedroom.The third basic need is clothing, which protects them from harsh weather conditions. They could die from coldness o r heat if we don’t consider proper clothing. Education is also one of the important basic needs of our kids, because there is a need for them to know the things around them.However, It isn’t enough to spend all your time working to provide whatever your family need and want, because then you’ll lose time for the family. Just remember to give love and attention to your family no matter how busy you are. Every effort is surely appreciated and loved.Topic It is necessary to (71) the basic needs of kids.(72) of having kids ● Brightening our lives and bringing more fun● Preventing negative things (73)in the house ● Helping us avoid feeling dull and (74)Basic needs of kids ● Food：Containing enough necessary (75)● Security: Giving kids a play room or bedroom of their (76)●(77)：Protecting kids from too cold or too (78)weather ● Education：Helping kids know their things around them(79) ● Don’t lose time for the family.● Don’t forget to show your love for kids and (80)them.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage.

It is the first US city to take such a strong step to keep this technology under control.When a computer system identifies a person from their face in a picture, it’s called “facial recognition” (面部识别). Many police departments use facial recognition. It can be helpful when the police just have a picture of a suspect (嫌疑犯）,but no other information. Normally, even with facial recognition the police must have other proof showing that a person is guilty. But many people say facial recognition programs aren’t good enough yet. The programs can usually recognize white men. But they’re not so good at identifying women and people with darker skin. They worry that “false matches” --- when the computer thinks it has identified a person, but it’s wrong --- will make innocent (无罪的) people look like criminals.For companies like Amazon and Microsoft, facial recognition is a big business. Amazon has worked hard to sell their facial recognition to police departments around the US. Microsoft sells tools that allow prisons to watch people inside.To work well, facial recognition programs must have a great number of pictures of people. But most people whose pictures are in the systems never gave permission (许可) for their pictures to be used.Many people worry that using computers to identify or track people will decrease freedom. Now, in many places, facial recognition is used to keep people under control and much of public life is watched on security cameras. Similarly, many cities in America and Europe are also almost completely covered by security cameras. Police officers now often wear cameras on their bodies, recording all the time. It’s usually not clear when governments are using facial recognition and how they are using it.Facial recognition is already being used at airports throughout Europe and in the US. The Department of Homeland Security expects to have picture of 97% of the people flying out of the country in the next four years.As these powerful computer programs become more common, San Francisco’s move to control facial recognition is an unusual and strong move to limit the way governments use computers to watch and control people.28.Why do people worry about facial recognition programs?A.They cannot multiply people’s responsibility.B.They cannot help the police identify good people.C.They will mistake innocent people for bad people.D.They will identify black people instead of white people.29.How can facial recognition programs function effectively?panies should work with each other.B.People should have more pictures taken.C.They should include as many pictures as possible.D.Police departments and prisons should be under control.30.What make people feel their freedom is on the decrease?A.There are the police everywhere.B. A lot of security cameras are used.C. More people are forced to stay at home.D. Governments focus more on facial recognition.31. What’s San Francisco’s attitude towards government workers using facial recognition?A. DisapprovingB. SupportiveC. DoubtfulD. Optimistic5.（8分）DMany people think of the brain as a mystery（神秘）．They don’t know much about intelligence and how it works．When they think about what intelligence is, many people believe that a person is born either smart, average, or dumb（愚笨的）—and stays that way for life．But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle — it changes and gets stronger when you use it．And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn．Everyone knows that when you lift weights, your muscles get bigger and you get stronger.A person who can’t lift 20 pounds when they start exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds after working out for a long time．That’s because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise．And when you stop exercising, the muscles shrink（萎缩）and you get weaker．That’s why people say, “Use it or lose it!”But most people don’t know that when they practice and learn new things, parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise．Inside the cortex (脑皮层)of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells（神经细胞）．Communication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems．When you learn new things, these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger．The more you challenge your mind to learn, the more your brain cells grow．Then, things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do seem to become easy．The result is a stronger and smarter brain．Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals’ brains．They found out that animals who lived in a challenging environment, with other animals and toys to play with, were more “aptitudinal”—they were better at solving problems and learning new things．32．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．Scientists show strong interest in what intelligence is．B．A new study shows the brain can be developed like a muscle．C．Both muscles and the brain are important to humans．D．Intelligence exists in both humans and animals．33．By using such numbers as 20 and 100 in Paragraph 2,the author tries to provethat ．A．exercise plays an important role in keeping muscles strongerB．exercise is more important to people than most of the animalsC．everyone can keep healthy if they do enough exercisesD．everyone should learn as many new things as possible34．Like stronger muscles come from exercise, smarter brains need ．A．to be well taken care of B．a good communication between personsC．help from scientists D．our learning new things35．What does the underlined word “aptitudinal” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Strong B．Lovely C．Smart D．Active三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）6.（10分）How to manage your email inbox36 .We love it and we hate it. We need it and want it, but too often the price we pay is that.

These days, certain perfumes are considered comparable to great works of art. Here are a few of the most famous perfumes in history.Chanel No.5This perfume is probably the best-selling scent (气味) in the history of fragrance (香水). Created by Ernst Beaux for Coco Chanel in 1921, it has been described as “the world’s most legendary fragrance”, and remains the company’s most famous perfume.ShalimarJacques Guerlain created this vanilla (香草) fragrance in 1925. The perfume takes its name from the Garden of Shalimar, which was built by Emperor Shah Jehan for one of his wives. It was an immediate hit in 1925 and is still extremely popular today.JoyJoy is famous for having been the most expensive perfume in the world at one point. It was created in 1930 by Henri Alméras for Jean Patou to lift the bad mood that had swept over the world after the 1929 stock market crash.L’Air duTempsFrancis Farbon created Nina Ricci’s L’Air du Temps in 1948.

In a travel magazine.D. In a fashion magazine.B“When I grow up, I want to be...”Almost all of us have thought about, or been asked to think about, our future careers. Our answers may differ greatly. Even now your aspirations(志向，抱负)may have changed from when you were in primary school.However, it seems career options aren’t only based on personal taste. In a survey carried out by Teens, doctors, lawyers, and bankers were some of most popular careers that people said they hoped to follow. This is in line with a similar survey carried out in the UK in May 2011 by job , in which medicine was the top choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17.Medicine and law are two of the oldest and best known professions. Their prestige (威望) may come from the fact that doctors and lawyers are much-respected members of society, and they make good money. What’s more, these professions are often seen as a sign of upward social mobility.It is equally unsurprising that banking is now one of the most common career choices. Youngsters worldwide think of banking and see the money rolling in. Wealth is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators(标志) of a successful career. British young men list the UK tycoon(巨头,大亨) Alan Sugar, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg as their top role models “for their wealth”. Just as Chinese teenagers see being a banker as a good and fun way to “wealth”.However, not every child has the makings of doctor, lawyer, or banker. They are those who see achievement and happiness in other areas, and many teenagers dare to ink more individuality into their career options. As the Teens’ survey discovered, a variety of unconventional jobs---coffee shop owner, gourmet(美食家)，waiter at a fast food restaurant---are among teenagers’ career choices. They can be equally interesting and rewarding jobs.With every choice comes responsibility and challenge, and all career paths require specific education and training, you have to learn to balance optimism(乐观主义)and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.61. What is the passage mainly about?A. Careers in teenagers’ mind.B. Choosing a good job is very important.C. Teenagers in the UK like doctors.D. The choice of career needs challenge.62. What is the top career choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17 according to the article?A. MedicineB. LawC. BankD. Education63. According to the article, all of the following are the benefits of being a doctor or a lawyer except _______.A. respect from othersB. the oldest professionC. high payD. upward social mobility64. What do youngsters think is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators ofa successful career?A. PrestigeB. AchievementC. HappinessD. Wealth65. According to the last two paragraphs, which of the following is TRUE?A. Careers such as gourmets and waiters are not as rewarding as doctors and lawyers.B. Specific education and training can help get a good job.C. Responsibility is the most important when you choose a good job.D. Optimism and confidence is more important than being realistic whenCIs it necessary for a young man to have an apartment as a prerequisite（先决条件）for marriage? Housing has become a major obstacle（障碍）for Chinese young men hoping to start a family. China may breed a new group of bachelors, men caught in the trap of unaffordable houses.Since early 2009, the housing market has once again become a hot pot at boiling point. Even with allowance（津贴）and special government policies, home prices in China's first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai are riding the crest（波峰）of a rising wave. According to the "2010 China Marital Status Report" released on Dec 15, 2010, about 70 percent of women interviewed said that housing, a stable income and some savings were the main requirements for marriage.From the report, we can see that housing is given top priority（优先权）and that women see an apartment as essential(必不可少的) to show that the man is responsible and can provide for his family.Personality and morals lay outside the top three matrimonial （婚姻的）requirements. Some women and their families hold the traditional position and take it for granted that the home issue should be the man's responsibility, which doesn’t agree with the contemporary independent spirit of women and gender equality. These marriage values reflect the fact that many women consider marriage another form of "social welfare".Things may be different overseas. Social housing, provided by European authorities, offer the less wealthy people their own piece of real estate. Such housing is usually apartments in tall buildings with 10 or more floors on the outskirts of town, whose main advantage is the low rents.For many Americans, houses don't pose an obstacle to getting married. They often buy a house after the wedding, because more and more people are reconsidering their real estate worship, andgoing back to a more rational(理性的) mode of consumption.In Japan, renting is the custom for newly married young couples. Few young couples can afford to purchase property. Up to 67.1 percent of young couples choose to rent. Generally speaking, renters account for most people younger than 40 in Japan.Young people should be free to enjoy being young, without the huge pressure of trying to buy property. Society should help create an environment for them to grow up. Don't let the poor bachelor group become a suffering layer（层）of our society.66. Which of the following is Not True according to the text?A. Home prices have been extremely high since early 2009.B. In the modern society, women don’t want to be independent.C. Chinese government has already done something to control home prices.D. Lots of Chinese young men couldn’t get married because of their economic capability.67. What does the underlined word “outskirts” probably mean?A. urban areasB. rural areas（乡下）C. suburbsD. downtown areas68. Why do many women take housing as one of the main requirements for marriage?A. Because they can’t afford a house.B. Because they enjoy their social welfare.C. Because their families want them to marry men with houses.D. Because they think it’s a symbol of the men’s sense of responsibility.69. The author uses the examples of European countries, America and Japan to show that__________?A. new couples in those countries like to rent housesB. the situation is different in some foreign countriesC. it’s better to live in those countries than live in ChinaD. their governments have done more than Chinese government70. The last paragraph is mainly about the author’s hope that __________?A. the society can develop rapidlyB. young people can lead a happy lifeC. all the young people can afford housesD. the poor bachelors can become rich and enjoy their lifePart 1V Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.G arlic (大蒜) is one of the most common spices of the kitchen, and the good news is that growing garlic indoors is simple. Garlic can be easily grown at home from individual cloves (瓣), which is the most commonly used form of cultivating garlic than growing garlic from seeds. Here are some useful tips on growing garlic indoors.Autumn is the best time to plant garlic. Garlic requires enough time to develop strong roots. In warmer climate, it can be delayed to late winter or early spring.Ensure the container used to grow garlic is large enough for the roots to have enough space to grow. The larger the size of the container, the healthier and bigger the garlic bulbs (鳞茎) will be. The container should also have holes at the bottom so that the water can drain (流走) out easily.Sow each clove vertically into the soil at a depth of one inch. Ensure that the blunt end (平端) is facing downward. In case of container gardening, the number of cloves to be sowed in each container depends on the size of the container. In case you are planning to sow more than one clove in each container, make sure that each clove is at least 5 inches apart from others.For the best growth of the garlic plant, choose a sunny spot where there is enough air circulation (流通). This will aid evaporation (蒸发) of too much amount of water and prevent the soil from becoming too damp in case too much watering does occur. Window sill (窗台) is a good place to put your container of garlic plant.Once the clove has been sowed, cover the soil with a layer of mulch (覆盖物) to protect the roots from extreme cold. Provide fertilizer at the correct time in right amounts, and proper watering. Once the garlic tips start appearing in the spring season, pull back the layer of mulch. Feed the plants once or twice every month with fertilizer.Section C (10 points)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Ugly, a male cat, loved three things in this world: fighting, eating garbage, and, shall we say, love. To start with, he had only one eye and where the other should have been was a big hole. He was also missing his ear on the same side, and his left foot appeared to have been badly broken at one time, making him look like he was always turning the corner. Every time someone saw Ugly there was the same reaction.“That’s one UGLY cat!”So, all the children were warned not to touch him. The adults threw rocks at him. Whenever he was treated badly, he would curl his thin body around feet in forgiveness or begged for love.One d ay Ugly shared his love with the neighbor’s dog. The dog's owner did not respond kindly. From my apartment I could hear his screams, and I tried to rush to his aid. By the time I got to where he was lying, it was apparent Ugly’s sad life was almost at an e nd. As I picked him up and tried to carry him home, I could hear his heavy breath, and could feel him struggling. It must be hurting him terribly.However, Ugly, in so much pain, suffering and obviously dying, was trying to get closer to me. He turned his one golden eye towards me, and even in the greatest pain Ugly was asking only for a little affection. At that time I thought Ugly was the most beautiful, loving creature I had ever seen. Never once did he try to bite or scratch me, or even try to get away from me. Ugly just looked up at me completely trusting in me to relieve his pain.Ugly died in my arms before I could get inside, but I sat and held him for a long time afterwards. Ugly taught me more about giving and compassion than a thousand books, lectures, or talk showspecials ever could, and for that I will always be thankful. It is time for me to learn to love truly and deeply.81. What reaction did people have when they saw Ugly? (No more than 8 words ) (2 marks)82. Why did the author try to rush to help him?
