Our 36 have done a lot for us, directly or indirectly and most of us 37 everything to their kindness and love.When we 38 them respect, whether it is by bowing to them, or 39 them with a smile, or offering them any help they need, it is one way of 40 our own love and gratitude to them. 41 , elders have also been through all the years you are 42 and know a little more about the world than you do.It is 43 that you do not agree with the belief of your elders, but this is nothing new. All younger generations have always 44 with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human 45 . However much you disagree with them, give them credit for their 46 .With changing times and 47 influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted （被解读）as disrespect to elders. Youngsters should 48 express their views and if there are arguments, they should not 49 their voices.If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately 50 their places, and sit on the carpet. In buses and trains, youngsters are 51 to give up their places to older people. This is not a 52 of who has more rights. It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to bear 53 , or tolerate unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older and perhaps at a 54 disadvantage.When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become 55 that youngsters care for them, and they respond with affection and kindness.36.

This is what happened to Harry.He got up one morning very late because he had forgotten to wind up his alarm clock（闹钟）. He tried to shave（刮脸）quickly and cut himself. When he got dressed he got blood all over his clean shirt, so he had to find another one. The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing（熨）, so he ironed it. While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door. It was the man to read the electricity meter（表）. He showed him where the meter was, said good-bye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt. So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all. By this time it was very late, so he decided he couldn’t go to work by bus. He telephoned for a taxi to take him to work. The taxi arrived and Harry got in and began to read the newspaper.In another part of the town, a man had killed a woman with a knife and was seen to run away in a taxi.

An early nickname for the policemen was “peeler”, but this name has died out. \Visitors to England seem, nearly always, to be very impressed by the English police. In fact, it has become a joke that the visitors to Britain, when asked for his views of the country, will always say, at some point or other, “I think your policemen are wonderful.”Well, the British bobby may not always be wonderful but he is usually a very friendly and helpful character.A music-hall song of some years ago was called, “If you want to know the time, ask a policeman.” Nowadays, most people own watches but they still seem to find plenty of othe r questions to ask the policeman.

A collection of evidence has shown that these things contribute to healthier and longer lives, but the new study actually qualified their mixed effect, the British team said.“These results may provide further support for the idea that even small differences in lifestyle may make a big difference to health, ” the researchers wrote in the journal PLOS Medicine.Between 1993 and 1997 the researchers questioned 20, 000 healthy British men and woman about their lifestyles. They also tested every participant’s blood to measure vitamin C in take. an indicator（指标）of how much fruit and vegetables people ate.Then they assigned the participants-aged 45-79 a score of between 0 and 4, giving one point for each of the healthy behaviors. After allowing for age and other factors that could affect the likelihood of dying.the researchers found people with a score of 0 four times as likely to die.The researchers, who tracked deaths among the participants until 2006, also said a person with a health score of 0 had the same risk of dying as someone with score of 4 who was 14 years older.The lifestyle change with the biggest benefit was _____________________ ,which led to an 80 percent improvement in health．the study found．This was followed by eating fruits and vegetables.

Authorities in China have tried to keep the animals away from populated areas with piles of fruit and vegetables and physical barriers. The herd was spotted last week on the outskirts (郊区) of Kunming.“One potential explanation for the elephant migration is overcrowding in the nature reserve these animals once called home,” says George, an elephant specialist at Colorado State University. Asian elephants are endangered, only around 300 surviving in China, but the population living in the reserves of the Xishuangbanna region has been growing in recent years. George says this wayward (任性的) group might have set out to find a new home with less competition for resources.“We’ve seen elephants expanding their range for decades now, as their populations increase, and they search for more food for the growing herd,” says Becky Chen, a conservation scientist at the Zoological Society of London who has studied elephant-human interactions. Other experts wonder if this is an example of a herd being misled by an inexperienced leader, or if the decision to roam was an almost random choice.Authorities have instructed residents along the route to stay inside if the elephants are nearby and avoid disturbing the herd. If the animals can’t be turned backto their former forested home, scientists and land managers may need to make provisions (准备) for the elephants to live permanently in Kunming.Chen says she hopes the situation will raise awareness of human-elephant conflict and elephant conservation. “What we have to learn is not how to solve the problem, but how to increase tolerance,” she says. “How can we use this event to let everybody pay attention to coexistence between people and animals?”8. Which is the possible reason for elephant migration?A. The population of people.B. Inhabitant loss.C. Annual migration.D. An act of a misleading head.9. What does the underlined word “roam” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Settle.B. Wander.C. Leave.D. Accompany.10. What may Chen agree with?A. It takes long to live in harmony with animals.B. It is important to reflect on how to live with animals.C. The increasing elephants threaten human’s settlement.D. The endangered elephants migrate due to human development.11. Which section does the story most likely come from in a newspaper?A. Nature.B. Health.C. Entertainment.D. Life.DIf electric bikes haven’t caught your attention yet, here’s one that might. Okapi, a Boston-based start-up, is producing a unique e-bike that bridges the gap between motorcycles and ordinary bikes.These aren’t normal bikes. If the futuristic appearance doesn’t give them away, the specs (规格) will: Okapi’s bikes have an all-electric range of up to 40 miles and a top speed of around 30 mph. Those aren’t crazy numbers, but they are more than adequate for an ordinary bike. The company’s selling its bikes for just under $3,000. That’s in line with other e-bikes’ pricing, but Okapi’s bikes look more appealing thanthe others, which try (with varying degrees of success) to look like normal bicycles.The bikes’ full suspension, hidden storage, and 1,000-watt motor all add up to a fun ride. Okapi’s design appears to be stronger and more able to handle the bumps (碰撞) than many other electric bikes, some of which appear to be modeled after old models. The main downside to Okapi’s design is that it supports a maximum of 280 pounds, which may stop some riders enjoying the bike.Okapi’s approach to the e-bike is a little different from others’. While more than one company tries to hide their electric powertrain (动力系统) underneath slim bodywork, Okapi puts it all out for the world to see in a big, square battery pack. There’s almost a futuristic dirt bike look to the bike, which is less awkward than it sounds.Electric bikes are getting cheaper, almost every day, but Okapi’s product charges a high price: The Starter Edition bike costs $2,989.98. The good news is that Okapi’s bike looks better and stronger than many offerings on the market today.Though they’re not the most mainstream product out there, e-bikes are worth the coin at almost any price. If you’re considering buying an electric bike, do it. E-bikes absolutely offer you an enjoyable and exciting experience, even on the cheaper end.12. What do we know about Okapi’s new bike?A. Its look is normal.B. Its speed is steady.C. It has a lower price.D. It has a limited load.13. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?A. The battery pack.B. Slim bodywork.C. The electric powertrain.D. Okapi’s approach.14. What is the author’s attitude toward e-bikes?A. Objective.B. Unclear.C. Conservative.D. Supportive.15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A. E-bikes: Cooler than You ThinkB. E-bikes: a Future Leader of BikesC. E-bikes: a Better Replacement for CarsD. E-bikes: a Mainstream Way of Transportation第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

When his friend Bob saw him, he laughed and said, "What has happened to your hair, Jack?"Jack said, "I tried a new barber's shop today, because I wasn't quite satisfied with my old one, but this one seems even worse."Bob agreed(同意). "Yes, I think you're right, Jack. Now I'll tell you what to do when you go into a barber's shop next time: look at all the barber's hair, find out whose hair looks worst, and then go straight to him.""Why shall I go to him?" Jack asked. "But that would be foolish!""Oh, no, it wouldn't," answered Bob. "Who cut that man's hair? Just think it. He couldn't cut it himself, could he? Another of the barbers cut it. So you know he can't be the worst barber."【1】 When Jack went out of the barber's shop, he was not happy because ____.A．nobody had cut his hairB．the barber hadn't cut his hair wellC．the barber had cut his hair carefullyD．he was not satisfied with his old barber【2】"I tried a new barber's shop today." means ____.A．this barber's shop was a new oneB．this was the only barber's shop in this townC．Jack often went to this barber's shopD．Jack had not been to this barber's shop before【3】After Jack had his hair cut, he thought ____.A．the new barber's shop was the best oneB．the old barber's shop wasn't so good as the new oneC．the new barber's shop was worse than the old oneD．the old barber's shop was the worst one【4】Bob told Jack to find out which barber's hair looked the worst and then go straight to him. Why? A．Because he was certainly the best barber.B．Because he was free all the time.C．Because he was the worst barber.D．Because he wasn't the worst barber.【5】From the story we know that ____.A．it's foolish to have one's hair cut at a barber's shopB．barbers cut each other's hairC．barbers never have their hair cutD．a barber always cuts his hair by himself2.A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well, but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly(肚子) or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people's rule. They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar( 奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy to work in that way.Now the very same thing is true to literature. And the question, "How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail -- that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.【1】A friend of the writer's drew the horses ____.A．very wellB．in the way of western ruleC．in the way of his own ruleD．all of the above【2】The writer was surprised because ____.A．the artist began to draw at the head of the horseB．the artist began to draw at the tail of the horseC．the artist made his own ruleD．the artist did not follow other people's rule【3】You are not yet experienced because ____.A．you don't know where to beginB．you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tailC．you always asked questionD．you do not trust to your own powers【4】when you become more experienced you will ____.A．never ask questionB．often begin at the tailC．should write the end of the storyD．should think of the beginning【5】The topic of the passage isA．How to draw a horseB．How to write a storyC．How to make your own rulesD．Trust to your own powers3.You speak, write a letter, and make a telephone call. Your words carry a message. People communicate with words. Do you think you can communicate without words?A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you raise your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying "No". You nod and people know you are saying "Yes". Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the wall of your school helps you to find the library. Signs on doors tell you where to go in or out. Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things. Books are written to tell you about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books, magazines, TV and radios and films all help us to communicate with each other. They all help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.【1】Can we communicate with each other without words?A．Yes, some times we can.B．No, we can't.C．No. It's impossible.D．Yes, we always do so.【2】When we see somebody smile, then, he must be feeling ____.A．angryB．joyfulC．surprisedD．sad【3】We can learn news from ____.A．newspapersB．radioC．TVD．ABC【4】A sign at the bus stop tells you ____.A．how many buses there areB．what kind of bus it isC．where the bus comes and goesD．how much money you'll pay for the ticket【5】What do you think is the quickest way to communicate with your friend in another city?A．Writing a letter.B．Making a telephone.C．Drawing a picture.D．Asking someone else to take a message.4.Friendship continues to remain central to our lives. Friends often affect our health and energy. More and more people are increasingly turning towards their friends for support and sharing rather than just communicating with their relatives. We may have a very unclear understanding of what makes a friend but we all want to have a good number of friends around us. There are certain things you do to help you make friends or at least help you get close to people whom you want to make friends with.The first step to make friends with people is to make them like you. If they don’t like you in the first place, it is unlikely that they’ll be eager to become your friends. To let someone know that you are interested in him, simple gestures like a little smile and calling him by his name can help. To make the other person feel important, you need to be a good listener and to encourage him to talk. Give your honest and sincere opinion, but do not make fun of him.The second step is to develop trust in each other. You need to share opinions with this person and it is necessary for you to develop a habit of seeing things from his point of view. To become the best of friends, you must show concern and consideration for your friends’ desires and opinions.The third and final step is to show your support and encouragement towards your friend. Moreover, you also need to be very clear about your expectations from your friend. If what you expect from the person you want to be a friend matches with what that person can and wants to do in friendship, the developing friendship between you and your friend is sure to be easy and successful.【1】What can we learn about friends and friendship?A．Friendship is not important in our life.B．Friends have nothing to do with our health and energy.C．Friends can provide us with support.D．Relatives can not become friends.【2】Which is the right order of making friends according to the writer?① When you meet some problems, you ask him for help.② When he is in trouble, you tell him your ideas.③ You smile at him to let him know you like him.A．②①③B．①②③C．③①②D．③②①【3】We can infer from the passage that _____.A．you can’t call your friend by his nameB．friends should understand each otherC．there should be no secret between friendsD．friends don’t need support and encouragement【4】What is the main purpose of the writer?A．To tell us about the importance of making friends.B．To tell us about the advantages and disadvantages of friendship.C．To introduce the steps for making friends.D．To tell us that friends are hard to make.【5】What’s the meaning of the underlined word gestures?A．身势语B．客人C．猜测D．表演5.You might be reading this article and saying, "Hey, that sounds just like me!" If so, we're glad you recognize that this happens to you．Now you can start taking steps to lessen your test anxiety．Here are some ways to do that:Ask for help．Talk to your mom or dad, your teacher, or your school guidance counselor．Just talking to someone about test anxiety can make you feel better．Describe what happens to you when you're taking a testand these people can help you figure out some solutions．For instance, learning study skills can boost your test-day confidence．Be prepared．Pay attention in class．Do your homework．Study for the test．On test day, you're more likely to feel like you know the material．Block bad thoughts．Watch out for any negative messages you might be sending yourself about the test．These thoughts can make anxiety worse and make it harder for you to do well in the test.________．Everyone makes mistakes．Be more forgiving of your own mistakes, especially if you prepared forthe test and are set to do your best．Breathe better．OK, so you already know how to breathe．But did you know that breathing exercises can help calm you down?（Just try not to take in too much air because it might make you feel dizzy．） Here's how to do it; Inhale （breathe in） slowly and deeply through your nose, and then exhale （breathe out） slowly through your mouth．Do this two to four times and you just might breathe more easily the next time you're taking a test! 【1】Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?Having too many negative messages in mind leads to worse test anxiety, which may stop you from doing well in the test．___________________________________________________________________【2】Please fill in the blank in the last but one paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence, （not more than 10 words）___________________________________________________________________【3】Which of the tips do you think is the most useful? （not more than 30 words）___________________________________________________________________【4】What's the best title of the passage? （not more than 10 words）___________________________________________________________________【5】Translate the underlined sentence in the 6th paragraph into Chinese.___________________________________________________________________四、书面表达假如你叫李华，你的英国朋友Peter给你写信来咨询怎样提高中文水平。

山东高二高中英语月考试卷班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.Dear Betty,My roommate’s family wants me to celebrate Thanksgiving Day with them in their home. I accepted the invitation, and I’m excited about going, but I’m a little nervous about it, too. The social customs in my country are different from those here, so I’m a li ttle worried about making mistakes.Should I bring a gift, such as candy or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late? At the dinner table, how can I know which fork or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I’m thankful for their kindne ss? Yours,Knowing NothingDear Knowing Nothing,It’s a good idea to bring a gift when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always welcome, or you can bring a bottle of wine if you know the family drink it.You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don’t get there early. If you are going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them.Try to relax at the dinner table. If you don’t know how to use the right fork, knife or spoon, just watch the other guests, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, don’t be shy about asking the person next to you; it’s better to ask them than to be silently uncomfortable and nervous.If you like the food, say so. Of course, you’ll thank the host and hostess for the meal and for their kindness. It’s also a good idea to send a card to thank them the day after.Yours,Betty【1】Knowing Nothing wrote a letter to Betty to _____.A．tell Betty some good news B．invite her to dinnerC．answer some questions D．ask for some advice【2】According to Betty, Knowing Nothing ______ when going to a dinner party.A．can only bring some flowersB．should arrive on time or five to ten minutes lateC．can’t bring wineD．should arrive twenty minutes late【3】Betty does NOT advise Knowing Nothing to _____.A．keep silent at tableB．watch the other guestsC．ask the person beside himD．relax at the dinner table2.Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it’s not fair to other peo ple, like the kids who studied for the test or who the true winners of a game were.Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test---unless the person cheats again.People lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and may be at home, too.Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheatin g, even when there seems to be a good reason for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea.If you were sick or upset about something the night before the day and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enou gh time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with you parents about how to balance swimming and school.A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions(解决办法) together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.【1】The author thinks that when kids cheat in class, ______.A．it is unfair to other people.B．it does harm to their health.C．teachers should punish them.D．teachers shouldn’t stop them at once.【2】Some students like cheating mainly because______.A．the material in the test is very difficult.B．they want to do better than the others.C．cheating can make hard things seem very easy.D．they have little time to study their lessons.【3】The fourth paragraph mainly tells us______.A．some kids can’t pass the test without cheatingB．why kids cheat in the test.C．cheating isn’t a good idea.D．some kids don’t spend the time studying.【4】We can learn from the passage _______.A．cheaters are often thought highly ofB．people show no respect for those who cheat.C．parents whose kids cheat are often in trouble.D．kids cheat in the test because of swim practice.3.It is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damaged brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can' t fix the damage. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them. He made the monkeys' blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys' brains. When the brain' s temperature was 10°C, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.【1】The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that _______.A．the time is too short for doctorsB．the patients are often too nervousC．the damage is extremely hard to fixD．the blood-cooling machine might break down【2】The brain operation was made possible mainly by _______.A．taking the blood out of the brainB．trying the operation on monkeys firstC．lowering the brain' s temperatureD．having the blood go through a machine【3】What is the right order of the steps in the operation?a. send the cooled blood back to the brainb. stop the blood to the brainc. have the blood cooled downd. operate on the brainA．a,b,c,d B．c,a,b,dC．c, b, d, a D．b, c, d, a【4】With Dr. White's new idea, the operation on the damaged brain _______.A．can last as long as 30 minutesB．can keep the brain's blood warmC．can keep the patient's brain healthyD．can help monkeys do different jobs4.Nanjing and Hangzhou summer camps offeredWe are looking for hard-working and open-minded English teachers to join the Nanjing (Jiangsu Province) and Hangzhou (Zhejiang Province) summer camps!Both of the summer camps will run from the beginning of July to the end of August.

Her musical styles put opera, pop and jazz together. She is popular in the States but not here（Britain）—the image of her and her second husband, Andrew Lloyd Webber（he much older, she his muse) seems for ever frozen.The 47-year-old singer talks about the new album Symphony that came out of a “very dark time”, including her decision to give up trying to have children. “People have suggested I could adopt,” Brightman says. “But work is central to my life now. And so I am going to put it to one side. After a while not having children becomes the normal and perhaps that might sound alarming, to parents especially, but I have never known anything different. I’m not hurt by not having children. My life and career are incredibly rich.”Talking about growing up in a large family in Berkhamsted （father a property developer who later committed suicide）, she says: “I was gifted as a child, and very musical. I seemed to be good a t anything to do with the arts. At 5 I understood the music I was dancing to and had an eye for costume.” She first appeared in a West End musical at 11 and hated boarding school.Brightman led the saucy dance troupe（辣妹三人舞）Hot Gossip and had her first hit with I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper in 1978. At 18 she married a music manager called Andrew Graham Stewart. “I was probably in love but I can’t remember. Girls change such a lot between 18 and 22. It didn’t really work out.” In 1981 she was spotted by Lloyd Webber. She became his leading lady in Song and Dance, Requiem and Phantom of the Opera. They married in 1984.Brightman says she felt hostility（敌意）“from the beginning. I haven’t tried to understand it. I’ve done very well everywhere else, especially the UK, where I now live. I just accept it for what it is. The more you are away from Britain, the more you appreciate it. But I don’t miss it, although I miss my family. Our profession can be uncomfortable but I enjoy what I do. I get on with it.”【1】The first paragraph tells us that ______.A．Brightman is very popular around the world except in AmericaB．Brightman’s musical style is a mixture of opera, pop and jazzC．the British people don’t like her for her style of musicD．Brightman is much older than Andrew Lloyd Webber【2】Brightman decided to give up having children because ______.A．she could adopt oneB．her life and career were unbelievably rich without childrenC．she felt it normal not to have childrenD．she was too busy【3】The following statements are true except ______.A．Brightman first appeared in a West End musical at 5B．Brightman disliked life on campusC．Brightman was very gifted when she was youngD．the saucy dance troupe made Brightman famous【4】 The underlined word in the fourth paragraph probably means ______.A．located B．admired C．followed D．found【5】What does the author try to say in the last paragraph by quoting Brightman’s words?A．Brightman has to accept the fact that she isn’t liked in BritainB．Brightman lives in America but she loves her own countryC．The British coldness towards Brightman led to her hatred to her homelandD．Brightman was at a loss why she was not welcome in Britain2.Many American youngsters earn their own allowance（零花钱）by doing temporary jobs for their neighbors. Babysitting is one of the common of these jobs. Most couples do not have maids or relatives living with them, and they need to have someone watch the children if they want to go out.Another way is by mowing lawn in summer and clearing snow from sidewalks and driveways in winter. Many people mow their own lawns，but often people prefer to give the job to a neighbor’s child. In winter, snow clearing from streets and highways is the government’s responsibility. Homeowners or tenants, however, must clear sidewalks and driveways. Since clearing snow is very tiring, many people prefer to hire teenagers for this job rather than do it themselves.Besides, many American teenagers usually work two to three hours after school and all day on Saturday or Sunday at the local supermarket. They work as cashiers or stockroom clerks. Or they help customers carry things to their cars. Other favorite jobs are waiting on tables in restaurants or working part-time at stores or gas stations.By earning their own allowance，teenagers acquire a feeling of independence and a sense of responsibility which prepares them for a productive life in society.【1】What does “babysitting” mean in the first paragraph?A．Watching a baby when its parents are out.B．Working as a maid.C．Sitting with a baby.D．Selling something.【2】How do American youngsters earn their allowance? Which one is NOT one of the ways?A．By mowing lawn in summer.B．By clearing snow from sidewalks and driveways in winter.C．By working two to three hours after school and all day on Saturday or Sunday.D．By doing some housework for the family.【3】When it comes to clearing snow，what do many people like to do?A．Hire teenagers for this job rather than do it themselvesB．They do it themselves.C．They hire their own children to do soD．They don’t clean it at all.【4】What is the advantage of youngsters earning allowance?A．They acquire a feeling of independence.B．They acquire a sense of responsibility.C．The actions prepare them for a productive life in society.D．All of the above.【5】Who will clear the snow on the streets?A．The inhabitants.B．The neighborsC．The government.D．The police.3.In 1939 two brothers, Mac and Dick McDonald, started a drive-in restaurant in San Bernardino, California. They carefully chose a busy corner for their location. They had run their own businesses for years, first a theater, then a barbecue（烤肉）restaurant, then another drive-in. But in their new operation, they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas. To this small selection they added one new idea: quick service，no waiters or waitresses, and no tips.Their hamburgers were sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity（一致性）, for the brothers had developed a strict routine（程序）for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on their cooks’ sticking to their routi ne. Their new drive-in became surprisingly popular, particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundred during the busy noontime. The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened. They were content with this modest success until they met Ray Kroc.Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954 when he was selling milkshake-mixing machines. He quickly saw the special attraction of the brothers’ fast-food restaurants and bought the right to franchise（特许经营）other copies of their restaurants. The agreement included the right to duplicate（复制） the menu, the equipment, even their red and white buildings the golden arches（拱门）.Today McDonald’s is really a household name.

In 1979, when I was 5, my family immigrated to the United States. I remember that on my 9th birthday I got my first computer “Commodore 64”.Later I graduated with honors in the University of Maryland in Mathematics and IT. The main field of my science research was the technologies used to collect data from unsystematic sources as well as large quantities of texts and science data. I was the author of dozens of articles in leading American academic magazines.The greatest event in my life happened when in 1998 I was preparing for the defense（论文答辩）of my Doctor’s degree in Stanford University. There the fate made me meet Larry Page—a young computer genius. Larry belonged to the intellectual society. Larry and I quickly became friends when we worked together.We were searching day and night on the Internet. We were finding a lot of information but with the feeling we still couldn’t find enough of what we were looking for. Naturally the idea for a search engine that would allow specific information to be found in the endless pool of data was born like it came to us. It wasn’t our plans but we gave up the education at the university. You know the next part, maybe we managed to turn an ordinary garage in Meplo Park, California, the U. S. A. into our first office, in which Google was born. With excitement we typed the name of the thing which we created with love on September 14th 1998—www. .

山东高二高中英语月考试卷班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.In 1993, eight-year-old Brandon Keefe sat in a corner at the Hollygrove Children’s Home, waiting for his mother to finish talking. He heard that Hollygrove Home needed a library, but all they had was an empty space and lotsof kids without books.The next day, when Brandon’s teacher asked the students to come up with ideas for a community service project, Brandon remembered what he had heard. An idea occurred to him at once. What about all the books he had read? He had many that he was too old for, and knew his friends had some, too. What if they gave them to the Hollygrove Home to create a library? Brandon started a project to collect books, and soon he had 847 books.The big empty room at Hollygrove was filled, and every child had a book to take to bed at night.When Brandon entered 7th grade, he, as well as his friends, began another book project. In one week, the school collected 5,000 books. The Hollygrove library couldn’t handle them all. A local public school, Limerick Elementary, became the next new library created by Brandon and his friends. The headmaster realized that Brandon’s idea was simple and effective. She began sharing it throughout the schools in Los Angeles.Brandon was surprised when, one day, a photographer from the Los Angeles Times called him out of class. They wrote about him in the newspaper, which led to some local community service awards. Then he was invited to appear on the very popular TV program Oprah. Brandon said, “After appearing on Oprah, many people knew about us and we were able to set up a non-profit organization called BookEnds.”By 2001, the 60,000 volunteers had collected around 150,000 books for BookEnds. They had completed 46 libraries, with 32 more under development, helping more than 40,000 children who didn’t have b ooks before. Brandon feels especially good that BookEnds is growing. “There are 60,000 people involved and I’m just one of them.

But they are just a small part; New York has much more for you to see.Art on tapThe Whitney Museum of American Art has settled into its new home. The building as well as its setting is exciting.

Shy people are easily embarrassed and nervous. They are extremely concerned about their own appearance and actions. Worrying thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings can negatively affect people. A person’s view of himself or herselfis shown in the way he or she behaves, and the w ay a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a great effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people who don’t like themselves and don’t think that they are valuable are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need someone to help them stop worrying and tell them that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it shows that they are not good. They also feel uncomfortable when they re ceive praise. So they usually reply by saying, “You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.”Can shyness be completely removed, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts by building their self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem (自尊), it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique individual and has our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential (潜能). Let’s not allow shyness to prevent us from having a rich and satisfying life.【1】What does the author try to prove by the underlined sentences in the first paragraph?A．Shy people benefit from caring about their appearance.B．People’s shyness makes them care too much about their appearance and actions.C．Many people feel unhappy for their being shy.D．Shy people think they are different from others.【2】When being praised, shy people feel that it is ________.A．goodB．not realC．very reasonableD．comfortable【3】It can be inferred from the text that shy people ________.A．should find more of their weaknessesB．should understand themselves properlyC．should ignore their weaknessesD．can get rid of their shyness but still have low self-esteem4.Eyes may be the “windows to the soul,” but depending on who’s reading them, they might tell very different stories. A new study in the UK found that women are more likely to notice something than men when determining another person’s feelings based only on their eyes and eyebrows.In the study, the researchers surveyed a total of 2,000 men and women in the UK. They were shown pairs of eyes and eyebrows and asked to choose the correct term that describes which emotion (情绪) that person is expressing. In general, women were found to be slightly better at reading other people. Two thirds of women in the survey correctly recognized five or more emotions. Only 56 percent of men were able to do this.The researchers also found that women were more confident in their ability to read emotions. Half of them reported that they were either “slightly better” or “much better” at doing so than their friends and family, while only 44 percent of men said the same. The survey also showed that men and women differ in their abilities to notice particular emotions.Women were more likely to recognize “vulnerable emotions,” including someone b eing shocked or scared. More than three quarters of them were able to do so, but only 60 percent of men could tell that someone was scared. When it comes to recognizing a “guilty” look, women beat men by five percent.In the survey, men were found to be better at recognizing emotions related to desire and anger. Roughly 58 percent of men could correctly discover someone was interested in something from what they saw, and 41.9 percent could recognize desire.The researchers say the ability improves with age — until you reach 65. The best scores were seen in people aged 55-64 and 45-54. People aged 65 and over were best at determining when a person is “guilty.” On average, people scored 4.9/10 on the test. The researchers say this suggests that most people can’t recognize other people’s moods as much as they think they might.【1】What did the researchers find in the study?A．Men were better at noticing guilty looks.B．Men did better than women in recognizing anger and desire.C．Women could recognize people’s emotions from their eyes and words.D．Women were confident in their ability to show different emotions.【2】The underlined word “vulnerable” in the fourth paragraph probably means “_______”.A．easily hurt or affectedB．not well behavedC．prepared to fightD．hard to get along with【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the text?A．Most people can’t truly realize what a person is feeling.B．Men and women have the same ability to recognize particular emotions.C．The older a person is, the better he or she can read other people’s emotions.D．People aged 65 can best notice whether a person is interested in something.【4】What may be the best title for the text?A．Eyes Are the Windows to the SoulB．The Ability to Read Emotions Matters a LotC．How Can You Manage Your Emotions?D．How Well Can You Read Emotions?二、其他A graduation gift has a special meaning for people, particularly as the years pass. What is the best gift to give a graduate? It should encourage their dreams. 【1】1. Life successLet’s have a quick look at life success and why dreams and goals are so impo rtant. Life success lies in the dreams we have and the goals we set and achieve. Researchers found that concrete (具体的) dreams and goals, and your ability to carry out a plan to achieve them, play a big part in your life success.【2】 Every one of us needs a dream; dreams give young people direction, and give us all hope. The most precious gift that anyone can receive is the support from family and friends. It can help them to move forward, go after their dreams, and achieve their goals.2.【3】The best g raduation gift should encourage a graduate’s dreams with one eye on the past and the other on the future. In practical terms, it should have emotional meaning, usefulness and convenience so that it can be easily carried with the young person.【4】 A book is something with meaning that will last. It can be picked up when comfort or inspiration is needed, or when a loving memory needs to be evoked (唤起). Children’s books are particularly popular choices as a graduation gift, because they are often beautifully produced and express the meaning of the moment.3. Thank-you notes【5】 Parents, grandparents and friends have given thought and taken time to give you something special and meaningful. A handwritten note expressing your appreciation will make them feel respected and that they are important to you.A．A dream giftB．A useful bookC．Books can act as the ideal graduation gift.D．For the graduate receiving gifts —don’t forget the thank-you notes!E. After receiving a graduation gift encouraging your dreams, you can be more successful.F. This guide offers ideas for the ideal gift to encourage a graduate’s hopes and dreams.G.

Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics（策略）.One tactic involves where to display the goods. Foe example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food（垃圾食品）later in their trip. In department stores, section is generally next to the wo men’s cosmetics(化妆品) section：while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over cosmetics they might want to try later.Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that t he smell of baked goods encourages shopping, they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the storethroughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wine went up.When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decision in the first few second upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the poll through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.【1】Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?A．To save customers times.B．To show they are high quality foods.C．To help sell junk food.D．To sell them at discount prices.【2】According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?A．Opening the store early in the morning.B．Displaying British wines next to French ones.C．Inviting customers to play music.D．Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.【3】What is the California builder’s story intended to prove?A．The house structure is a key factor customers consider.B．The more costly the house is, the better it sells.C．An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste.D．A good first impression increases sales.【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.B．To introduces how businesses have grown from the past.C．To report researches on customer behavior.D．To show dishonest business practices.3.Since the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.Recently, two researchers, Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated(展示) a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person's thoughts.In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts."Our brain has billions of nerve cells. These send signals through the spinal cord(脊髓) to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles, "Tavella says. "Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices."The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.Prof. Millan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. "The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair."He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.【1】BCI is a technology that can ________.A．help to update computer systemsB．link the human brain with computersC．help the disabled to recoverD．control a person's thoughts【2】How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?A．By controlling his muscles.B．By talking to the machine.C．By moving his hand.D．By using his mind.【3】Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?A．scalp →computer→ cap→ wheelchairB．computer →cap→ scalp→ wheelchairC．scalp →cap→ computer →wheelchairD．cap →computer →scalp →wheelchair二、其他The Science of Risk-SeekingSometimes We decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth tasking. 【1】Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans.Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring.【2】As the quality of Risk-taking was passed from on ration to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 【3】No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years.【4】To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.【5】,for the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.A．It all depends on your character.B．Those are the risks you should jump to take.C．Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.D．Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.三、完形填空My kids and I were heading into the supermarket over the weekend.

This way of teaching allows the students to grow as people, and to develop their own interests in many subjects. Open education allows students to be responsible for their own education, as they are responsible for what they do in life. Some students do badly in a traditional classroom. The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules. For students who worry about these things a lot, it is a good idea to be in an open classroom.But many students will not do well in an open classroom. For some students, there are too few rules. These students will do little in school. They will not make good use of open education. Because open education is so different from traditional education, these students may have a problem getting used to making so many choices. For many students it is important to have some rules in the classroom. They worry about the rules even when there are no rules. Even a few rules will help this kind of students. The last point about open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it. Man y teachers do not believe in open education. Teachers who want to have an open classroom may have many problems at their schools.You now know what open education is. Some of its good points and bad points have been explained. You may have your own opinion about open education. The writer thinks that open education is a good idea, but only in theory. In actual fact, it may not work very well in a real class or school.

I was waving goodbye to my son, the last one of my fledglings （刚会飞的鸟）to leave home and go to new woods, "University actually" . I felt so lighthearted after spending many years looking after my four children-cooking, washing, ironing, teaching them how to look after themselves and manage their finances-that I actually thought “At long last, freedom".But, as I watched my last one leave, although it was a joyous occasion, I realized I had not really prepared for this day, I was too tied up with bringing up these adults of the future to realize that they would all leave the nest and lives independently.At first I didn't know what "I" wanted to do. I tried a part time job, which ended in me running out in tears. I started a business making soft furnishings, but that didn't work either. I grew my own veggies and fruit, which lasted 3 years, until I was advised by my doctor that my feet couldn't take any more "tools” driven through them.I began wondering if I had a future of my own. I cried for the life I was used to, and hadn't known or wanted anything different.Then one day I saw an ad. For foster parents, I discussed it with my husband who was always behind everything I tried and with great disturbance, I rang up the number.I now laugh and sing with my 14-year-old foster daughter, even when my cooker is a mess and my bathroom is a disaster area. I now know, 8 years later, what “I” was meant to be doing with all the spare hours, days, a nd weeks I had on my hands when my last fledgling flew the nest. The sun shines once again in my home.【1】How did the mother first feel when her last child went off to university?A．Lonely.B．Anxious.C．Relieved.D．Annoyed.【2】The underlined phrase “was tied up with” in the second paragraph means “”.A．was occupied in B．was associated withC．was tired of D．was addicted to【3】In the third paragraph, the poor mother did all the things just to .A．live a greener and healthier lifeB．earn more money for her kids’ educationC．shift her attention and ease her anxietyD．start her own decorating business【4】What did the empty-nested mother think of her husband?A．Skilled B．Supportive C．Stubborn D．Open-minded【5】Thanks to the foster daughter, the author .A．got rid of her busy work B．forgot her other childrenC．found a suitable job D．knew what she really wanted4.In the more and more competitive service industry , it is no longer enough to promise customer satisfaction. Today , customer “delight” is what companies are trying to achieve in order to keep and increase market share. It is accepted in the marketing industry , and confirmed by a number of researches, that customers receiving good service will promote business by telling up to 12 other people : those treated badly will tell their tales of woe to up to 20 people, 80 percent of people who feel their complaints are handled fairly will stay loyalNew challenges for customer care have come when people can obtain goods and services through telephone call centers and the Internet. For example , many companies now have to invest(投资)a lot of money in information technology and staff training in order to cope with the “phone rage”—caused by delays in answering calls ,being cut off in mid-conversation or left waiting for long periods.“Many people do not like talking to machines ,”says Dr . Storey Senior Lecturer in Marketing at City University Business School. “Banks, for example, encourage staff at call centers to use customer data to establish instant and good relationship with them .The aim is to make the customer feel they know you and that you can trust—the sort of comfortable feelings people have during face-to-face chats with their local branc h manager.”Recommended ways of creating customer delight include: under-promising and over-delivering (saying that a repair will be carried out within five hours ,but getting it done within two );replacing a faulty product immediately : throwing in a gift voucher(购物礼卷)as an unexpected “thank you” to regular customers ;and always returning calls ,even when they are complaints.Aiming for customer delight is all very well , but if services do not reach the high level promised , disappointment or worse will be the result . This can be eased by offering an apology and an explanation of why the service did not meet usual standards with empathy (for example, “I know how you must feel”) , and possible solutions (replacement , compensation or whatever fairness suggests best meets the case).Airlines face some of the toughest challenges over customer care . Fierce competition has convinced them that delighting passengers is an important marketing tool, while there is great potential for customer anger over delays caused by weather , unclaimed luggage and technical problems .For British Airways staff , a winning telephone style is considered vital in handling the large volume of calls about bookings and flight times. They are trained to answer quickly , with their na me , job title and a “we are here to help” attitude. The company has invested heavily in information technology to make sure that information is available instantly on screen.British Airways also says its customer care policies are applied within the company and staff are taught to regard each other as customers requiring the highest standards of service.Customer care is obviously here to stay and it would be a foolish company that used slogans such as "we do as we please”. On the other hand , the more c ustomers are promised, the greater the risk of disappointment.【1】We can learn from Paragraph 2 that .A．complaining customers are hard to satisfyB．unsatisfied customers receive better serviceC．Satisfied customers catch more attentionD．well-treated customers promote business【2】The writer mentions “phone rage”(Paragraph 3) to show that .A．customers often use phones to express their angerB．people still prefer to buy goods onlineC．customer care becomes more demanding.D．customers rely on their phones to obtain services【3】If a manager should show his empathy (Paragraph6), what would he probably say?A．“I know how upset you must be.”B．“I appreciate your understanding.”C．“I’m sorry for the delay.”D．“I know it’s our fault.”【4】 Customer delight is important for airlines because .A．their telephone style remains unchangedB．they are more likely to meet with complaintsC．the services cost them a lot of moneyD．the policies can be applied to their staff【5】Which of the following is conveyed in this article?A．Face-to-face service creates comfortable feelings among customers.B．Companies that promise more will naturally attract more customers.C．A company should promise less but do more in a competitive market.D．Customer delight is more important for airlines than for banks.四、其他阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答案卡相应的位置上（请注意76至79四个小题后面的词数要求）。

Mourners gathered outside his house in Palo Alto, California, and Apple stores around the world. Steve Jobs made technology fun. As tech leaders, they're really happy if they have one hit in their life. Steve Jobs has the Apple II, the Mac, the iPod, the iPhone, the iPad and Pixar.Steve Jobs was a college dropout. He was adopted by a machinist and his wife, an accountant. They supported his early interest in electronics. He and his friend Steve Wozniak started Apple Computer—now just called Apple—in 1976. They stayed at the company until 1985. That year, Steve Wozniak returned to college and Steve Jobs left in a dispute with the chief executive.Mr. Jobs then formed his own company, called NeXT Computer. He rejoined Apple in 1997 after it bought NeXT, He helped remake Apple from a business that was in bad shape then to one of the most valuable companies in the world today. However, Steve Jobs stepped down as Apple's chief executive in August, 2011 because of his health. He died a day after the company released a new iPhone version that met with limited excitement. Steve left behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple. President Obama said in a statement: by building one of the planet's most successful companies from his garage, Steve Jobs showed the spirit of American ingenuity (独创性). By making computers personal and putting the Internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible but intuitive (直觉的) and fun.The fact that he was able to redesign American commerce top to bottom and across is really astonishing. He probably will be considered an industrial giant on the scale of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, so one of the greatest of all time. Steve Jobs not only revolutionized technology, he also revolutionized American business. Steve Jobs was remembered as a " great visionary and leader" and a marketing genius.【1】What does the underlined word "dispute" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Discussion.B．Permission.C．Experiment.D．Argument.【2】According to Paragraph 2, the author wants to show that _____.A．Steve Jobs made fun of modem inventionsB．Steve Jobs makes great contributions to the worldC．tech leaders will be happy when they have one hit in their lifeD．Steve Jobs owns many companies in America【3】Which of the following statements about Steve Jobs is NOT TRUE?A．Steve Jobs stepped down as Apple's chief executive because of poor health.B．Steve Jobs and his friend built a company called Apple Computer in 1976.C．Steve Jobs was remembered as the founder of Apple and the InternetD．President Obama spoke highly of Steve Jobs for his achievements.【4】How long did Steve Jobs work for Apple?A．9 years.B．14 years.C．23 years.D．35 years【5】This passage is mainly about _____.A．a brief introduction of Steve Jobs B．the inventions of Steve JobsC．the childhood of Steve Jobs D．the death of Steve Jobs2.When you see homework covering the kitchen table and toys are piling up around the sofa，you probably wish there was a bit more space．You are not alone．Nearly a third of parents say they feel squeezed into their homes but cannot afford to move to a bigger property，a report reveals today．Twenty—nine percent say ‘their property is too small to fit the size of their family’—rising to 40 percent for those 34 and under．One in four children is ‘forced to share’ a bedroom，according to the Finda Property，com website．Property analyst Samantha Baden said：“Afford ability remains a key issue for families，with the average cost of a three-bedroom home around ￡193,000．”Very few can afford to buy—or to rent—a property of the size they want and in the area they desire to live in，according to Miss Baden．A recent report，from investment firm LV，also found that many‘ space—starved parents’ are pushed into a two—bedroom home which was perfect when they were a young couple，but has no space for three or so children．Grown—up children who cannot afford to leave home are also adding to the problem facing families in Britain's ‘big squeeze’．For a home to be the correct size, which means it is not overcrowded，parents must have their own bedroom．Children under ten can share, as well as same—sex children between ten and 20．Anyone over 21 also needs their own room．The report comes as official figures，published yesterday by the Land Registry，revealing house prices are falling sharply in every region except London．The worst—hit area is the North East，where, average house prices have fallen to below￡100,000 for the first time in seven years.

"Children should not be left unsupervised (无人监督的) to play with a dog." say experts in this week's British Medical Journal. Their advice is part of a review aimed at doctors who deal with dog bites."Dog bites and maulings are a worldwide problem, particularly in children." write Marina Morgan and John Palmer. Every year 250,000 people who have been bitten by dogs attend minor injuries and emergency units in the United Kingdom, and half of all children are reportedly bitten by dogs at some time, boys more than girls. Accurate death figures are difficult to obtain, but in the past five years, two to three cases a year have made news headlines.Based on the latest medical evidence, they advise doctors how to examine and treat a patient presenting with a dog bite. They discuss the risk of infection and when to refer to specialist care. For travelers bitten abroad, they suggest assessing the risk of rabies(狂犬病).In terms of prevention, they suggest that children should be taught to treat dogs with respect, avoid direct eye contact, and not tease them. They should be taught not to approach an unfamiliar dog; play with any dog unless under close supervision; run or scream in the presence of a dog; pet a dog without first letting it sniff you; or disturb a dog that is eating, sleeping, or caring for its babies."Dog owners also need to change their behavior", says Rachel Besser, a children's doctor and lifetime dog owner, in an article."It is clear that not all dog owners appreciate that children should not be left unsupervised with a dog", she says. Just as some parents are obliged to take parenting classes, she would like to see compulsive classes for expectant dog owners to teach them about the responsibilities of dog ownership. Educational programs are also needed to teach children about some precautionary （预防的) behaviors around dogs.Finally, she would like to see animal doctors advising dog owners about bite prevention, and doctors promoting bite prevention when treating patients who have been bitten by dogs.【1】Dog biting is a problem which _____.A．only happens to a few children B．should be paid attention toC．only boys may meet with D．has made news headlines【2】The underlined word "they" in Paragraph 4 refers to "________" .A. doctorsB. parentsC. experts D dog owners【3】To avoid dog bites, a child should be taught to_____.A．have direct eye contact B．approach an unfamiliar dogC．run or scream in the presence of a dog D．leave a dog feeding itself【4】What are Rachel Besser's words mainly about?A．It's necessary to teach children how to raise dogs.B．Children should be taught not to play with dogs.C．All the dog owners would like to attend classes on caring for dogs.D．Some dog owners would like children to be left unsupervised with a dog.【5】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．Dogs, Dangerous To ChildrenB．Children Should Know Behaviors Around DogsC．Doctors, Treat Dog Bites CorrectlyD．Never Leave Children Unsupervised With Dogs4.阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的词数要求）[1]Why play sports?

Most of them are likely to feel dissatisfied with their reflection in the mirror.It is quite possible that men looking in the mirror are either pleased with what they see or indifferent. Research shows that men generally have a much more positive body-image than women---if anything, they may tend to over-estimate their attractiveness. Some men looking in the mirror may literally not see the flaws in their appearance.Why are women so much more self-critical than men? Because women are judged more on their appearance than men, and standards of female beauty are considerably higher and more inflexible. Women are continually bombarded (轰炸) with images of the “ideal” face. And constant exposure to idealized images of female beauty on TV, magazines and billboards makes exceptional good looks seem normal and anything short of perfection seem abnormal and ugly. It has been estimated that young women now see more images of outstandingly beautiful women in one day than our mothers saw throughout their entire adolescence.Also, most women trying to achieve the impossible standards of female beauty have in fact become progressively more unrealistic during the last century. In 1917, the physically perfect woman was about 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighed nearly 10 stone. Even 25 years ago, top models and beauty queens weighed only 8% less than the average women, now they weigh 23% less. The current media ideal for women is achievable by less than 5% of the female population---and that’s just in terms of weight and size. If you want the ideal shape, face etc., it’s probably more like 1%.【1】The passage is mainly to _____________.A．compare different views on beauty between women and menB．tell us that standards of female beauty are very highC．explain why women are more critical of their appearance than menD．show us that women pay more attention to their appearance than men【2】Which of the following is NOT the reason why women are more critical of their appearance?A．People pay more attention to their appearance than men’s.B．The criterion (标准；准则) used to judge women’s beauty is more critical and less changeable. C．Idealized images of female beauty are constantly shown in different media.D．Women tend to pursue perfection by nature.【3】Which statement is true about men?A．Few men will feel pleased when they are looking themselves in the mirror.B．Men looking in the mirror usually ignore the flaws in their appearance.C．It is likely that men will consider themselves more attractive than they really are.D．Men don’t care about their body image.【4】Nowadays, if an average woman weighs 110 pounds, then a physically perfect woman should weigh about _________.A．85 pounds B．101 pounds C．90 pounds D．135 pounds【5】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Most women try to achieve the standards of beauty.B．The standards of female beauty. in the past were more easily achieved than today.C．Women are more unrealistic in their pursuit of beauty than men.D．Less than 5% of the female population can achieve the current media ideal for women.2.As the sound of footsteps behind her grew louder, she quickened her pace. She didn’t want to turn around as the memory of that morning’s newspaper headline made her afraid of what she would see: “City Killer Claims Fourth Victim.”“Why did I stop for a few drinks in the bar after work?” she thought to herself. Now it was dark and the streets deserted. She was alone and a sitting duck.She felt as if she was walking in the rain. Her clothes were damp from nervous sweat and as each short hot breath hit the night air, it turned to steam, coating her glasses in a thin film so all she saw seemed covered in fog. The footsteps were closer now. She needed to get off this street. Her eyes began a useless search for an open store or lighted window. Passing a small lane she looked through，for a possible escape route. But the lane was a dead - end and she laughed to herself at the irony.The sound of a car behind her turning onto the street interrupted her self – pity. Escape was at hand. But as she was about to throw herself onto the road and shout for the car to stop, the car’s headlights cast a shadow that paralyzed （使瘫痪） her with terror.It was the footsteps’ owner. The figure w as huge and in its raised arm it held what looked like a lead-pipe, no doubt the one that was about to claim victim number five.The shadow dissolved as the car passed by and disappeared into the distance. She felt a hand on her shoulder. It was all happening as if in slow – motion. She was waiting for her life to flash before her eyes like all those novels said it would –but it didn’t. The only thing she thought of was her dear husband. She recalled phoning him from work that very afternoon and joking about, of all things, the city killer. It was a night full of ironies. There was a voice talking to her now but she was lost in thoughts of her fate and didn’t respond. The hand then began turning her around. It was surprisingly gentle given what was about to come. She allowed it to guide her without resistance. （抵抗；反抗）She looked up. She recognized the face, but she didn’t know from where. Its mouth was still talking to her but she couldn’t understand. Then she remembered. The face belonged to the foreign loo king man who had served her at the bar. She looked down to his hand and saw in it not a lead – pipe but a rolled up copy of a work report she had been correcting in the bar as she drank.His words suddenly started to register in her brain and she could hea r him. “Miss, Miss. Are you OK? You left this in the bar and it looked important so I thought I’d better give it to you.”【1】The woman was feeling nervous because .A．she had left her report in the barB．there was a killer in the cityC．she was being followed by someoneD．the streets were dark and empty【2】The underlined expression “a sitting duck” (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “”.A．an easy target B．a frightened personC．a foolish animal D．a still position【3】What is the correct order of events that happened to the woman on the day of the story?a. She went for a drink in a bar.b. She corrected the report.c. She heard loud footsteps.d. She read the newspaper.e. She called her husband.f. She felt a hand on her shoulder.A．d,c,a,e,b,f B．c,d,a,e,f,b C．d,a,b,e,c,f D．d,e,a,b,c,f【4】Why did the woman laugh when she looked into the lane?A．She was excited because she thought it may be a way to escape.B．She felt bitter because she had no chance to escape.C．She was becoming more and more nervous.D．She realized that she was behaving foolishly.【5】Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A．It was raining when she left the bar.B．The woman had felt nervous about the city killer for days.C．The temperature was very low that evening.D．The woman was behaving unreasonably.3.Cold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many ex pressions that use the word “cold”. For centuries, the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold-blooded. Cold-blooded people act in merciless ways. They may do brutal things to others, and not by accident. For example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. The killer murdered someone, not in self-defense. He seemed to kill for no reason, and with no emotion, as if taking someone’s li fe meant nothing.Cold can affect other parts of the body, the feet, for example. Heavy socks can you’re your feet, if your feet are really cold. But there is an expression—to get cold feet—that has nothing to do with cold or your feet.The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned. All the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being the president when you understand the situation.Cold can also affect your shoulder. You give someone the cold shoulder when you refuse to speak to them. You treat them in a distant and cold way. The expression probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face-to-face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you, or to someone who has lied about you to others.A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.Out in the cold is an expression often heard. It means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise, and that he was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.【1】The passage is intended to tell us that ______ .A．cold weather has a great effect on human bodiesB．many English expressions contain the word “cold”C．cold is a word closely linked with human emotionsD．the word “cold” has many different meanings in English【2】The underlined word “brutal” in Paragraph 1 most probably means “______”.A．impolite B．illegal C．cruel D．extreme【3】Which of the following expressions can best describe a person who is unwilling to offer anything to others? A．Cold-blooded.B．To get cold feet.C．A cold shoulder.D．A cold fish.【4】You can say Tom ______ if the teacher gives all the boys except him a pen as a prize.A．is given the cold shoulderB．is left out in the coldC．has got cold feetD．is murdered by a cold-blooded killer【5】We can draw a conclusion from the passage that ______ .A．all the expressions containing the word “cold” have a negative meaningB．all the expressions containing the word “cold” have something to do with coldC．people who show no human emotions or feelings have cold bloodD．many parts of the human body can be badly affected by cold4.They may be just passing your office, computer bag slung (悬挂) over one shoulder. Or they may be sitting in a car outside it, causally tapping away at a laptop. They look like innocent passers-by. In fact, they are stealing your corporate secrets.Drive-by hacking is the trendy term given to the practice of breaking into wireless computer networks from outside the buildings that house them. A recent study in the UK, sponsored by RSA Data Security, found thattwo-thirds of organizations with wireless networks were risking their data in this way. Security experts patrolled (巡逻) several streets in the City of London seeking evidence of wireless networks in operation.Of 124 that they identified, 83 were sending data without encrypting（加密）them. Such data could readily be picked up by a passer-by armed only with a portable computer, a wireless modem and a few pieces of software that can be freely downloaded from the Internet.The data could include sensitive company documents containing valuable information. Or they could be e-mail identities and passwords that could be used by hackers to log into corporate networks as if they were legal users. Most companies using wireless networking technology do not take even the simplest of measures to protect their data. Nearly all wireless network technology comes with some basic security features that need only to be activated (激活) in order to give a minimum level of security, for example, by encrypting the data being passed over the network.Raymon Kruck, business development manager at Check Point Software, a security technology specialist, believes this could be partly a psychological problem. People see the solid walls of their building as safeguards and forget that wireless networks can extend up to 200 meters beyond physical walls.Companies without any security at all on their wireless networks make it ridiculously easy for hackers to break in. Switching on the security that comes with the network technology should be automatic. Then there are other basic steps a company can take, says Mr. Kruck, such as changing the passwords on the network from the default (默认) setting.Companies can also install firewalls, which form a barrier between the internal network and the public Internet. They should also check their computer records regularly to spot any abnormal activity, which might betray the presence of a hacker.【1】According to the study sponsored by RSA Data Security, two thirds of the subjects _______.A．had most of their company data stolenB．depended on wireless computer networksC．were exposed to drive-by hackingD．were unaware of the risk of wireless hacking【2】Whichof the following is NOT considered in the study?A．The number of computer hacking incidents.B．The number of wireless computer networks identified.C．The way in which data are sent and received.D．The way in which data are hacked and stolen.【3】Most wireless network technology has_________.A．data encryption program B．password security programsC．illegal-user detection D．firewall【4】Raymond Kruck most probably agrees that wireless network security involves ________.A．wireless signal administration B．changes in user’s awarenessC．users’ psychological health D．stronger physical walls【5】The passage is most likely to be seen in a __________A．book review B．science fiction C．textbook D．computer magazine四、其他阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。

Is it the price you see on the gift receipt(收据)? Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion(蒲公英) standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that l already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; My dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood, I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling (卷曲的)black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.【1】The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was .A．doing shopping B．having a debateC．leaving for Wyoming D．reading a message【2】The author's inspiration for the gift came from .A．a photo of a flower B．a story about a kidC．a call from the mother D．a text about Christmas【3】The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refers to a poem by _ .A．the father B．the authorC．Edgar Allan Poe D． William Blake【4】The author made the gift by .A．searching for the poems onlineB．drawing the background by handC．painting the letters in three colorsD．matching the words with pictures【5】What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To show how to design images for giftsB．To suggest making gifts from one's heart.C．To explain how computers help create giftsD．To describe the gifts the author has received.3.Brenda Bongos was a happy, artistic girl. She had one big ambition—to play the drums in a band. But one big problem lay in her way. To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but she lived next-door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves. So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy.One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because there's no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit（成套设备） and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child.It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos came very famous. Many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band.Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said: ''If those old people next – door hadn't mattered so much to me, I wouldn't have found a solution, and none of this would have ever happened.''【1】Why did Brenda try to play in the strangest places?A．Because she didn't want others to hear her playB．Because she didn't mean to disturb others.C．Because she didn't have her own roomD．Because she didn’t like her neighbors.【2】Brenda started to give concerts _______.A．after she practiced in her space bubbleB．when she became part of the unique space journeyC．after she became a real musical astronautD．when people came to see her in the space bubble【3】Brenda became famous because _______.A．she was good at music and scienceB．she became a real musical astronautC．she invented a special way of practiceD．she played well and had a talent【4】Which of the following can be used to describe Brenda?A．Kind, hardworking and cleverB．Brave, kind and hardworking.C．Lovely, brave and kindD．Nervous, kind and clever.【5】It can be inferred from the text that: " _______".A．He laughs best who laughs lastB．It's never too old to learnC．Two heads are better than oneD．One good turn deserves another四、单词拼写根据首字母或汉语注释写出单词的正确形式，并将完整答案填写到答题卷中的相应位置。
