ALast Sunday when I stood in the return line and watched people, I was extremely impatient. My daughter had got four Barbie dolls and two identical Cabbage Patch Kids on Christmas, so I was eager to return toys that she didn't need. Suddenly a strong idea came to me. I eyed the lady in front of me with three small girls on her leg. The family looked poor. The children were without coats, and they had dirty faces and hair. “You are ready to get out of here, aren't you? Give her the things you want to return,” the still voice spoke. “Give them to her? These are mine. I'm not giving her my stuff,” I argued. I swallowed the urge that threatened to escape my lips when the voice spoke again. “Give her the toys.” I was familiar with the voice.I know I couldn't argue with that voice.I sighed and tapped the lady on the shoulder. “Ma'am,” I cleared my t hroat. She looked at me with kind, tired eyes surrounded by wrinkles. “Yes?” she asked. “Would your little girls like to have these toys?” I pointed to my basket full of returns. “What?” her eyes widened as she glanced at my basket. “Would your children li ke to have them?” She was speechless, and I swore that tears were about to well up in her eyes. “You'd be doing me a favor. I can't stand in this line in a moment longer.” “You have no idea,” she shook her head. “You have no idea what that means to me.”I started loading her basket as the excited girls watched. “Merry Christmas,”I said, “God bless you.” She replied as I nodded and exited the line. I didn't want to go the Walmart that day, but I went. I didn't want to give the lady my kid's toys, but I did. Sometimes doing what we don't want to do is exactly what we're supposed to do.1. The author decided to return some of the gifts because ________.A. she wanted to get some moneyB. her daughter didn't like them at allC. all of them weren't in needD.her daughter needed money then2. When the author saw the woman and her three girls, she ________.A. gladly helped themB. hesitated about whether to help themC. pretended not to know themD. didn't want to help them3. The lady was speechless after hearing the author's words because ________.A. she was too moved to say anythingB. she was too surprised to say anythingC. she didn't believe the author at firstD. she was considering the author's words4. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. A Poor LadyB. Holiday SpiritC. Giving HappinessD. Holiday ShoppingBCleaning your plate may not help feed hungry children today, but the timeworn advice of mothers everywhere may help reduce food waste from the farm to the fork, help the environment and make it easier to feed the world’s growing population.Hard data is still being collected, but experts in Chicago said about 30% to 50% of the food produced in the world goes uneaten. The average American throws away 33 pounds of food each month — about $40 worth, which means each person throws away almost 400 pounds of food. The US Department of Agriculture says that 23% of eggs and an even higher percentage of produce ends up in the trash.“We forget we have all these fresh fruits and vegetables, and at the end of the week we have to throw them away”, said Esther Gove, a mother of three young children in South Berwick, Maine. “Now, I don’t buy as much fresh produce as I used to.”But the effect of food waste arrives far beyond the kitchen. Agriculture is theworld’s largest user of water, a big consumer of energy and major emitter of greenhouse gases during production. Experts say reducing waste is a simple way to cut stress on the environment and can ease pressure on farmers, who will be called on to feed an expected 9 billion people around the world in 2050, compared with nearly 7 billion today.No matter how sustainable (可持续的) farming is, if the food’s not getting eaten, it’s not sustainable and it’s not a good use of our resources. In richer nations, fruit and vegetables end up in the trash because they aren’t pretty enough to meet companies’ standards, have gone bad in a home refrigerator or aren’t eaten at a restaurant. In developing countries, much food spoils before it gets to market due to poor roads and lack of refrigeration. High food prices are another reason, since some people can’t afford the food that’s produced.5. From the first paragraph, we know that cleaning your plate ________.A. is you mother’s best advice for youB. can solve certain problems for the worldC. can help feed hungry children all over the worldD. helps meet the growing population’s needs6. The underlined word “emitter” in Paragraph 4 mean s ________.A. userB. finderC. protectorD. producer7. What is a sustainable and convenient way for a customer in a restaurant?A. Ordering enough and packing the leftovers.B. Ordering more than he or she can eat.C. Ordering less and feeling hungry after leaving.D. Ordering more and leaving the untouched alone.8. Which of the following topics will follow the text?A. More examples of food waste.B. Ways to reduce food waste.C. Experts’ idea on the environment.D. Advice for food with high prices.CWe ate on the go more than ever before. Here are three health apps that can help you better manage your health when you pursue your dreams.1. Doctors On DemandDoctors On Demand enables you to visit a doctor without ever leaving your home, helping you use a computer, tablet or smart phone to have a doctor video chat with you. The service will help you locate and connect you to licensed doctors, psychologists, pediatricians (儿科医生) and more. Fees can be paid with HAS&FSA. It costs $40 for 15 minutes with a doctor or $50 for 20 minutes with a psychologist.2. Text4babyI'm a big fan of Text4baby for a few reasons. The free service for pregnant women and new moms works by sending text messages to your smart phone three times a week with information about how to have a healthy pregnancy and baby. And the messages are timed to the pregnant woman's due date or the baby's date of birth, sending tips that are relevant to where a mother is in her pregnancy or where a baby is in stages of development. Tips range from breastfeeding to car seat safety to reminders about exercise, nutrition and more. The service combines interactive text messages, an app, video and web content in English and Spanish. Sign up by texting BABY to 511-411 or by downloading the app.3. RISERISE, an app available on iPhone(coming to Android in 2016), pairs you up with (与…绑定) a registered dietitian to improve your diet and reach health goals. You share photos of your meals and your exercise for the day with your coach, who then looks for areas where you can improve and gives advice, helps you set goals and is there to pat you on the back virtually(虚拟地) when you hit a milestone. What's also great is that you can text as much as you want with your dietitian and there is no need to go into an office. Fees for this service range from $9 per month to $50 a month. There is a free 7-day trial so you can try it out for a week to see if it's fit for you.9. How much will you pay if you have a video chat with your psychologist for an hour using Doctors On Demand?A . $50.B . $80.C . $100.D . $150.10. We can infer that the author is probably a ________.A . famous pediatricianB . software engineerC . pregnant woman or new motherD . registered dietitian11. What do you know about Text4baby?A . It is an app available only on iPhone.B . You can sign up by texting BABY to 511-411.C . People can't use Text4baby for free.D . Text messages are sent in three languages.DAfter a year of examining many studies concerning whether homework is effective, NYC P. S. Elementary School decided that math worksheets and essay assignments were actually a waste of time. In February, Principal Jane Hsu sent a letter to parents stating that the Pre-K(学前班) through fifth grade students wouldn’t be given any traditional homework to encourage kids to have free time for reading, playing outside, or doing activities they enjoy.“The negative effects of homework have been well established.” Hsu wrote in a note to parents. “They include, children’s frustration and exhaustion, lack of time for other activities and family time and, sadly for many, loss of interest in learning.”Some parents, however, disagree with the policy change, believing that a lack of focus will cause children to fall behind. Homework has been part of education from the beginning, and has increased in amount in recent years.Hsu’s advice that children should read and spend time with their families has upset some parents to the point of considering pulling their children out of the school. This group feels that homework gives children a goal to work toward. Others feel so strongly about the importance of homework that they have begun giving their own homework to their children.An Australian Childhood Foundation survey finds that 71% of Australian parents feel they don’t spend enough quality time with their children mainly because of the time spent running the household or the time spent helping with homework. Education experts in Australia are saying that parents should stop helping. Doing so will givekids more independence, give parents more free time, and help reduce the number of arguments caused by homework in the family.While some research suggests that homework has little academic benefit for elementary students, other researches show homework can help kids develop independence, and confidence. It can also contribute to a sense of belonging or control over their lives. When parents try to help their children with homework, the assistance can take away that feeling and can also make working parents more tired.12. Cancelling traditional homework is aimed at ________.A. allowing students to learn on their ownB.motivating students to help with homeworkC. inspiring students to seek self-developmentD. wishing students to spend more time with parents13. What can be concluded from the 1st and 2nd paragraph?A. Jane Hsu knows students prefer activities to their subjects.B. Jane Hsu has done much research on different aspects of homework.C. Jane Hsu is the first principal to cancel homework.D. Jane Hsu pays little attention to students’ academic records.14. Why are some parents strongly against Principal Jane Hsu?A. They don’t think the school is responsible for their kids.B. They dislike their kids doing too many activities.C. They have no time to give their children homework.D. They are afraid their kids will fall behind.15. What is the author’s attitude to parents’ helping kids with homework?A. Negative.B. Worried.C. Supportive.D. Unconcerned.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。

黑龙江省齐齐哈尔八中2018届高三第二次月考英语试题第二部分阅读理解（共两节,共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）第一节阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A，B，C，D）中，选出最佳选项。

AMicro-Enterprise Credit for Street YouthIntroductionAlthough small-scale business training and credit programs have become more common throughout the world, relatively little attention has been paid to the need to direct such opportunities to youth living on the street or in difficult circumstances. Over the past years, Street Kids International (S.K.I.) has been working with partner organizations in Africa, Latin Africa and India to support the economic lives of street children. The purpose of this paper is to share some of the lessons S.K.I. and our partner organizations have learned.BackgroundTypically, children end up on the streets not due to a single cause, but a combination of factors: the lack of adequately funded schools, the demand for income at home and so on. The street may be attractive to children as a place to find adventurous play and money. However, it is also a place where some children are exposed, with little or no protection, to exploitative employment, and urban crime. Street Business PartnershipsS.K.I. has worked with partner organizations in Latin America, Africa and India to develop innovative opportunities for street children to earn income.● The S.K.I Bicycle Courier Service first started in the Sudan. Participants in this enterprise were supplied with bicycles, which they used to deliver parcels and messages, but they were required to pay for it gradually from their wages.● The Youth Skills Enterprise Initiative in Zambia is a joint program with the Red Cross Society. Street Youths are supported to start their own small business through business training, life skills training and access to credit.Lessons LearnedThe following lessons have emerged from the programs that S.K.I. and partner organizations have created.● It’s important for all loans to be linked to training programs that include the development of basicbusiness and life skills.● Small loans are provided initially for purchasing fixed assets such as bicycles, shoe shining kits.● All S.K.I. programs have charged interest on the loans, primarily to get the business runners used tothe concept of paying interest on borrowing money. Generally the rates have been modest. ConclusionThere is a need to recognize the importance of access to credit for poor young people seeking to fulfill economic needs.1. The organization, S.K.I., aims to _________________.A. give business training and loans to street childrenB. provide schools and social support for street childrenC. share the lessons S.K.I. learned to help street childrenD. draw the attention of the government to street children2. This passage implies that with the help of S. K. I. street children may ______________.A. reject paid employmentB. set up their own businessC. leave their familiesD. employ other children3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The link of all loans to training programs is important.B. Interest is charged for the loans in all S.K.I. programs.C. The S.K.I Bicycle Courier Service provides the participants with free bicycles.D. The Y outh Skills Enterprise Initiative in Zambia works with another organization.BMy father’s family is not a musical family. They are a family of words. My brother has my father’s dark hair, his love of a good argument. I take after my mother. From her I inherited a curious nature, a sense of adventure, bright red hair. I did not, contrary to her hopes, inherit a talent for the piano. That fact was established beyond doubt after unsuccessful attempts to draw music from me.The piano lessons began when I was four. My mother was convinced that I would be a child Mozart. She found the ideal teacher--Madame Oblenka, a strict Russian woman, whose pursed lips were enough to frighten a wild horse into submission. Madame Oblenka, who expected a little Mozart, was not very delighted to find a little girl banging her fists on the keys.I tried to please her. “Feel the music,” she urged. I “felt” it and winced (退避) my ear--for what is more unpleasant than a series of wrong notes played continuously? She “felt” my music, too, which is why she always left with an angrier expression than when she came.Once, when I was ten, I managed to record one of my own rehearsals (练习). In order to escape my practice sessions, I would close myself behind the door of the piano room, put on the tape recording, and read until the tape had finished. That method worked for a week, until my mother began to wonderwhy I always missed the same B-sharp. She knocked on the door, and, receiving no answer, came in to check on me and found that I had fallen asleep while the tape of my performance played on and on.I was twelve when my parents finally acknowledged that my hidden talent was not about to emerge any time soon. My mother, refusing to admit defeat, told me to pick another instrument. “Choose anything you want, Honey,” she said, assuming that freedom of choice would inspire devotion. I thought long and hard and chose the drums. My parents, sensitive to noise, would be less than overjoyed by a daily bombardment of playing. I imagined my father in his study, cotton wads in his ears.I worked my way through several other instruments before my mother hit on another idea. Maybe I wasn’t meant to be an instrumentalist. Realizing that drama might be more suited to my talents, Mom took me to a drama teacher. However, he put me backstage, painting scenery. Once I recovered from my sense of injury, I realized the wisdom of his choice. I loved the active, practical backstage world, and I discovered that I had a knack for constructing and painting. I loved the challenge of taking our scanty (贫乏) supplies and using them to make something beautiful. Imagining a scene and then seeing it emerge before me--this, to me, was close to magic.I’m a sculptor now, and every day I experience afresh the joy of being fully absorbed in the act of artistic creation. It’s a wonderful, blissful (乐而忘忧) feeling. I realize that my parents, in their misguided attempts to interest me in music, were trying to give me this feeling. And now I feel grateful. Perhaps they went about it in the wrong way, but their hearts were in the right place.4. The underlined word “emerge” in the fift h paragraph can be replaced by _____.A. disappearB. failC. turnD. show5. Which of the following best reveals the author’s attitude towards piano practice?A. She tried to make the piano teacher pleased.B. She repeated the same mistake in practicing.C. She played the recording instead of practicing.D. She recorded her performance for improvement.6. The author’s mother can be best described as __________.A. devoted and stubbornB. encouraging and independentC. helpful and considerateD. hardworking and generous7. We can learn from the passage __________.A. art should be treated as a joy rather than a burdenB. the ordinary backstage work can help one succeedC. you can only get better at something if you practiceD. parents should encourage their children to create artCTwo of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I do n’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.8. Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule?A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated.B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.C. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.D. Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.9. The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ______.A. keep her appointment with the eye doctorB. meet her father who was already an old manC. join in the holiday celebration of the companyD. finish her work before the deadline approached10. The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ___________.A. abandonedB. lackedC. avoidedD. wasted11.W hat is the best title for the passage?A. The Emotional Well-beingB. The Two Saddest WordsC. The Most Useful RuleD. The Peace of MindDAs rules, laws are people’s rights and r esponsibilities toward society. Laws are agreed on by society and made official by governments.Some persons look on laws with fear, hatred, or annoyance. Laws seem to limit people’s freedom to do many things they would like to do. Though laws may prevent us from doing things we wish to do at the moment, laws make everyone’s life safer and more pleasant. Without laws we could not hold on to our property; we could not go to bed at night expecting to wake up in the morning and find that we had not been robbed; no stores in which we buy food, clothes, and other necessities could stay open and sell to us. Our banks would not be safe places to keep our money.Social life would be impossible without laws to control the way people treat one another. It is not the laws that should be feared but the trouble that comes to everyone when laws are broken. Once this is understood, a citizen will not fear or hate the law. Understanding the need for good laws and the evil results of breaking laws is the first requirement of good citizenship and government.Philosophers once believed that in prehistoric time people lived without laws in a “state of nature”. People were free to do as they pleased unless someone stronger stopped them by force. As a result, life became so dangerous and unsafe that leaders had to create laws to protect life and property.This is no longer believed to be true. Scholars now think that as soon as people began living in small groups, they worked out rules for getting along with one another. In time everyone accepted and supported the rules. Manners, customs and beliefs controlled the living habits and behavior of the group. Such rules and habits of life are called folkways.Folkways are probably the real meaning of human laws, as well as of religion, morals, and education. As life became more complex, folkways became more complete guides to living. After thousands of years, some of the important folkways were put into writing as the earlier laws. And as life grew more and more complicated with faster transportation and the rise of modern industry and big cities, more human acts and interests had to be ruled by law. This led to a great increase in the numberof laws.But we know that unless laws are enforced, they cannot protect us. Poorly enforced laws invite crime and violence. So we agree that the best protection against crime is planned social change and law reform -- to reduce the causes of crime and to encourage people to obey the laws. Such a solution would join a sound system of law enforcement with forces working to prevent crime. To attain this goal, all citizens must understand the need for good laws and for their enforcement.12. Some persons look on laws with fear, hatred, or annoyance, because_____.A. they can’t do whatever they want toB. they feel it unnecessary to have lawsC. laws only protect those who worked out themD. laws and rules are too complicated to understand13. Which of the following statement is NOT TRUE?A. Without laws we may fail to hold on to our propertyB. In prehistoric time people lived happily without laws in a “state of nature”.C. Human laws, as well as of religion, morals, and education, are believed to originate fromFolkways.D. Good citizens and government should be aware of the need for good laws and the evil results ofbreaking laws14. A sound system of law enforcement is necessary because_____.A. some citizens fear or hate the law.B. poorly enforced laws cause crime and violence.C. we need someone stronger to stop crime by force.D. the evil results of breaking laws are getting fewer and fewer .15. What’s the best title of this passage?A. The Origin of LawsB. Enforcement of LawsC. Leaders and LawsD. Laws and rules.第二节、七选五（共5小题）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。

AWell, I do quite a lot of sport actually. I go swimming twice a week—there's a very good pool just around the corner from my office. I swim for an hour. I also cycle to work when I can. Besides that, I do a lot of reading and photography.—Br ennanI used to go snowboarding(滑雪) quite often in the winter, but I haven't been for a long time, although I might go this year with some friends. These days, I go cycling when I can. At the weekend, I like to cook and invite friends for dinner.—Da isyI don't have a lot of time to myself because I have two young children. So, a lot of my free time is used to take my kids to their activities. For example, on Saturday morning, I have to take my son to his basketball games and my daughter to football practice, and then I have to ship them off to parties or friends' houses. Two or three times a month, my wife and I go for a meal with friends. And once a month, we go to the cinema while my parents look after the kids.—Cl arkI have tennis lessons with a group of friends at the weekend. There are eight of us: four mums and dads, and four kids. The idea was that the lessons would give us parents a chance to do something sporty with our children. The teacher is really good and we all have a fantastic time. Best of all, after an hour of tennis the kids go off to play, and we can have a drink and a chat.—Li nda1. What do Brennan and Daisy have in common?A. They both like cycling.B. They both like cooking.C. They have the same friends.D. They take the same gym class.2. On Saturday morning, Clark's daughter .A. goes snowboardingB. plays basketballC. goes swimmingD. plays football3. How does Linda feel about her activity at the weekend?A. She enjoys it.B. She dislikes it.C. She will give it up.D. She isn't interested in it.4. This text is mainly about what people do .A. in their jobsB. in their free timeC. in the winterD. in their own homesBThe trouble with school is that you can't choose the people you get to see every day. If you're unlucky enough to be stuck with classmates who don't really "get" you, you've just got to try to make the best of it.But that doesn't mean you need to "fit in", or at least in the way that people think. If you try to transform yourself into a clone of everyone else, it won't help you make friends. It'll just make you feel like a fake.You also shouldn't shut down or refuse to be friends with everyone who doesn't like you. If you do that, you'll just make yourself miserable. Instead, you've got to work on being comfortable and confident with whom you are while ignoring all the haters. Keep on speaking up, asking questions and getting to know people better. If you send out positive energy, then people will generally send some back to you. A couple of them will stay the same, and you're allowed to forget about them.If you feel like you're doing all that but still not getting anywhere, then don't give up. Just expand your circle. Get a part-time job at a cool-looking place, join an after-school art class or youth group—do whatever it takes to find a couple of like-minded people to connect with. Even if you don't find anyone right away, you'll still be getting some more social experiences under your belt, and that's always a good thing.A fun book called UNCOOL, by Erin Elisabeth Conley, has some tips for folks like you who want to stay positive at school while being true to your personality:● Throw caution to the w ind.● Don't tolerate(忍受) others' mistakes.● Have patience with people who are different from you.● Don't change just because someone else thinks you should.● Know that even though you may be a misfit(不适应环境的人), there's always some place where you will be welcomed in the world.5. According to the author, what should you do if you meet people who don't appreciate you?A. Just give up.B. Ask someone else for help.C. Show positive attitude toward them.D. Try your best to fit in with them.6. The author agrees that you should take part in more activities in order to .A. get more chances of making friendsB. lay a better foundation for your future jobsC. transform yourself into a cloneD. make you feel like a fake7. In the book UNCOOL, Erin Elisabeth Conley thinks you should .A. always be kind to your friendsB. keep your own personalityC. stand others' mistakesD. help improve characters of others8.

Elizabeth GoodgeDMark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously(满怀嫉妒地). Jason was determined not to go against their father's wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you’ve been playing with his new computer.”Jason said, “ He told us not to touch it.”“He won’t find out,” Mark said. “I’ll just have a quick look and shut it down.”Mark had been scolded before for touching his father's equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.It was a strange-looking machine —one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “It’s an experimental model,” his father had explained, “so don’t touch it under any circumstances.” But his father’s warning only seized to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colors, shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen: “SPACE TRANSPORTER.”“Yes!” Mark cried excitedly, “It’s a computer game. I knew it! Dad’s only been pretending to work. He’s really been playing games instead.” A new message appeare d on the screen: ENTER NAMESVOYAGER 1:…VOYAGER 2:…Mark’s fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.“INPUT ACCEPTED. START TRANSPORT PROGRAM. AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED( 自动回收程序已启动).”The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.“I think we’d better shut it off, Mark,” Jason yelled, reaching for the power switch. He was really frightened.But his hand never reached the switch. A single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒), until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen, the letters changed.“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL. DESTINATION: MARS. RETRIEVE(恢复) DATE: 2025.”12. Why did Mark touch the computer against his father’s warning?A. He wanted to take a voyage.B. He wanted to practice his skill.C. He was so much attracted by it.D.

AMy favorite book, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, talks about a formula called “SFF” which stands for “stopping finding faults(毛病)”. I used to be a critical person and tried to find faults. I guess I somehow inherited this character from my father. Actually many good qualities of my father are worth admiring except this.My father is the person who constantly looks for mistakes in other people and he thinks no one is perfect in the world. His character created a negative atmosphere in my family. I was the same as my father, so I often felt angry, disappointed, depressed, and lonely in school.After I had read my favorite book I began to seek “good things” in other people. It has completely changed my life. Now I feel happier, I have more friends, I have more trust in people, and I realize everyone has their own strength! Another important lesson I got from this book is that I should always behave myself in a positive manner. Let’s admit that we sometimes complain about our situation. That’s not good. “Believe it or not, people don’t like to listen to negative opinions.”One more valuable lesson I got from the book is that I should be a good listener. When I was younger, I only wanted people to pay whole attention to my words so that I could show them how important I was. I was very proud and would show off my achievements in school without considering others’ feeling. I had very few friends and mo st people considered me as an “arrogant” person. Now, I find it mush easier to make friends after making some changes!1. Why does the author like the book The Secret?A. Because he’s found the secret of success from it.B. Because the book uncovers the secrets of happiness.C. Because he’s learnt his father’s characters from it.D. Because it helps him change his attitude towards life.2. What do you know about the author’s father?A. He makes his son feel angry and disappointed.B. He likes finding faults with people around him.C. He seems a critical person but in fact easy-going.D. He can create a negative atmosphere when necessary.3. The underlined word “arrogant” probably means “______”.A. self-importantB. admirableC. troublesomeD. cold-blooded4. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To persuade readers to be good listeners.B. To share his painful changing experience.C. To tell readers the influence of a book on him.D. To show the result of his father’s negative character.BApple SeedsCirculation : 1 Year, 9 Issues（发行，版权）Cover Price: MYM 44.55Price For You: MYM 33.95Product Description: Apple seeds is an award winning magazine filled with stories for kids aged from 7 to 9.

News ChinaCReality TV（真人秀）show has been accused of making the nation silly, but a study suggests part of the show could be good for children.Massey University PhD student Jacinta Hawkins looked at the influence of TV programs on kids’ health knowledge, attitudes and behavior. She s aid programs which showed overweight people on TV is making children say “I don’t want to grow up like that’.”The research was part of Ms Hawkins’ paper on how schools improve health. She spoke to 92 children, aged from 7 to 13, from six Auckland primary schools to find out how they received information on nutrition and physical activity. Some said they learnt from TV news programs, but most of them mentioned reality shows such as Fat Chance, Honey We’re Killing the Kids and Downsize Me.“ Earlier s tudies had looked at the effect junk-food advertising had on children,” Ms Hawkins said, “but messages within TV programs had not been explored. Children from the six schools largely recognized program content, rather than advertising, as a source of food and physical activity messages. They are learning habits of eating and exercise from TV programs. ”The children also recognized that their parents had a role to play in shaping health behavior. Talking about Honey We’re Killing the Kids, which shows how people will look if they continue with good habits, children said they developed attitudes from their family’s habits. Ms Hawkins said children remembered what they had seen and thought it was the parents’ duty to lead by example.9. What does Hawkins find about reality TV show?A. It may teach kids much scientific knowledge.B. Some shows may have kids develop ill habits.C. It may draw kids’ attention away from studies.D. Some shows may help kids eat more healthily.10. What method did Hawkins use to get her findings?A. Doing interviews.B. Performing experiments.C. Studying science reports.D. Comparing earlier studies.11. How do most students get information on health?A. From TV shows.B. From news reports.C. From television ads.D. From health experts.12. According to the children, which may have a great influence on their health behavior?A. School.B. Family.C. Friends.D. Scientific research.DOne May morning, 10-year-old Khadab played in the ruins of a school near his home in northern Iraq. He saw something that looked interesting. It was yellow and plastic and looked like a ball. He reached for his new toy and, BANG!The last thing he remembered was a big noise. When Khadab awoke, he was in hospital. His parents stood sadly by his side. They told him he had picked up an unex-ploded bomb. When it exploded, Khadab lost an arm.He was just one of hundreds of Iraqi children who have been injured or killed by stepping on and picking up explosives left over from the war.These landmines (地雷) and bombs have injured and killed at least 15 people a day since Saddam Hussein's government fell on April 9. And children are the most af-fected.Iraq is among the worst landmine-affected countries in the world. Many villages in the war-torn areas are surrounded by minefields (雷区). These landmines lie on the ground between rocks, up in trees and on riverbeds.Even though the war in Iraq is over, many children have not returned to school. They can be seen walking the streets with the natural curiosity of young kids. Their new playgrounds are places where the fighting took place. Many boys can be seen playing with unexploded bombs. A new game is to throw the bombs and run away. Some of them get away, but too many are killed. They do this for fun, and don't realize the dangers until it’s too late.UNICEF (联合国教科文组织) has warned children, through the TV, of the dangers of landmines and unexploded bombs in Iraq. They hope to make children aware of the dangers they face.“I can’t imagine there’s going to be a classroom in the north without scared children in it. It’s so widespread,” said Sean Sutton of the British-based Mines Advisory Group (MAG).MAG is an organization working to clear unexploded bombs and landmines in war-torn areas.It is difficult to report the exact number of deaths. Sutton said MAG found 320 injuries in northern Iraq in the first month after April 9. But he said the real figure was probably much higher.13. What Khadab saw was exactly _______A. a ballB. a toyC. an unexploded bombD. a plastic ball14. What measures have been taken to remove the dangers of explosives left over?A. MAG has been working to clear unexploded bombs and landmines in war-torn areas.B. UNICEF has warned children, through the TV, of the dangers of landmines and unexploded bombs in Iraq.C. Children have all returned to school.D. Both A and B15. What’s best title for the text?A. Iraq after the warB. MAG helps Iraq remove the landminesC. Kids play with deathD.

2018——2019学年度上学期期末考试高二英语试题第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分。

）第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）AThe first day of school our professor challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know. I turned around to find a wrinkled(有皱纹的) old lady. She said, “ Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “ Of course you may!”, and she gave me a giant squeeze. “ Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked.I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.“ I always dreamed of having a college education and now I am getting one!” she told me. After class we shared a chocolate milk shake. We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months, we would leave class together and talk non-stop. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus star and she easily made friends wherever she went.At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet(宴会). I’ll never forget what she taught us. She cleared her throat and began, “ we do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. If you are 19 years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn 20 years old. If I am 87 years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything, I will turn 88. anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change and have no regrets.”At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree. One week after graduation, Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over 2000 college students attended her funeral in honor of the wonderful woman who taught by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be.1.

Memory of College LifeC. We All Grow OlderD. Never Too Late to DreamBApril 15th marks the 102nd anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. The 11-storey ship was not just very large, but also unusually luxurious (豪华). It is therefore not surprising that the sinking of the Titanic continues to attract the interest of people of all ages, even today.Over the years, there have been many books about this tragedy. However, very few have been written from the perspective (视角) of the young passengers. This is why I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic, 1912 by Lauren Tarshis is fun and different. The author uses facts from the real tragedy and makes up a heart-stopping adventure story starring a smart and brave boy George Calder. After spending an exciting vacation in England with their Aunt Daisy, ten-year-old Gorge and his little sister Phoebe, were heading home to America, aboard the greatest ship on earth, the Titanic!Then on the night of April 14th, the first sign of disaster appeared---the luxury ship hit a huge iceberg. But given that everybody in the world knew that the Titanic was unsinkable, there was very little cause for panic. They were all confident that the ship's engineers would be able to repair the "slight" damage that had been caused by the iceberg.This, of course, turned out to be untrue. Within a few hours the Titanic was not only sinking, butfaster than most people had time to react. Added to this was the fact that there were not enough lifeboats to take all the passengers to shore. If that was not enough, when the emergency call to get on the deck came, Gorge realized that his sister Phoebe was missing.Will George be able to find his sister and help her get to shore? To find out, be sure to read I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic, 1912.5. Who is the main character of I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic, 1912?A. Lauren TarshisB. DaisyC. George CalderD. Phoebe6. What can be learnt about the book?A. it attracts people of all agesB. it tells an adventure storyC. it was finished in 1912 in AmericaD. it was written by a young passenger7.

Whether it's work or fun, the most important thing is lighting．If you get bad lighting, you will look bad, too．Know where the light is．You don't want it below you or above you, you want it to shine directly at you．The key thing is no shadow．If you are being photographed outside, do it in the morning, or wait till the 2 o'clock shadow has passed．Also don't let pictures in the magazines stress you out —all the pictures are taken by great photographers．And all the faces have had pimples （丘疹，粉刺）taken out by computers．Tip your head and learn what angles work with your face; everyone is different．So you have to learn what suits you．You can practice in Photo Booth for as long as it is your turn, to learn what angles suit your face．Tip your neck to make it look longer, make eye contact with the camera．No one can look bad if they smile．For long legs, point one leg into center of the frame and get the photographer to shoot looking up your body．For just leg shots, lie upside down and raise legs in the air for the best angle．And your legs will look thinner and be in better shape．Keep shoulders back．Always have mouth slightly open, enough to put a penny between your lips, as this will make your lips look fuller．Lower your eyes and then look up just as shutter （快门）is clicked for full eyes．Delete any evidence of a less than perfect photogenic moment, everyone has off days．9．If you want to look good in a photo, the light should be ______．A．below you B．above you C．directly at you D．right behind you10．According to the passage, we should consider all EXCEPT ______．A．light B．shadow C．anglesD．photographers11．What advice does the author give on taking photos?A．Raise legs on the wall．B．Look down．C．Keep shoulders back．D．Put a penny between lips．DAmerican LaMar Baylor spends most of his time in New York City, working as a performer in the Broadway musical —The Lion King. But since 2011, he has also spent weeks in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda(卢旺达). There, he teaches dance to boys who live on the street. His teaching is part of an effort by the Rebecca Davis Dance Company. The project helps young people learn more about dance and learn how to behave in a classroom environment.LaMar Baylor describes his students as genocide (种族屠杀) survivors. They have lost all of their families, some even have been in prison. “They have been through things that no one should ever have to go through,”said Baylor. Dance classes provide the children with structured learning and self-expression that they’ve never had before. They can also take classes in information and technology after they have learned to attend classes and follow directions.Boys who have done best in the classes win scholarships, and are sent to the Sunrise Boarding School. About 30 boys have won this kind of financial aid. All the students are male, because few girls in Rwanda live freely on the street.The Rwanda program is the largest one set up by the Rebecca Davis Dance Company, founded and directed by Rebecca Davis. Ms. Davis has also set up dance programs in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Guinea. About 2,000 children in the three countries have taken part in the project since it was launchedin 2010.As for LaMar Baylor, he knows from his own experience how dance can lead to a better life.
