班级质量分析（2010-2011学年第二学期期中考试）高二（3）班班主任：胡军胜高二（3）班期中考试质量分析（2010-2011学年第二学期）本次考试，学校领导的正确组织加上全体教职工的辛苦付出，使得学生的考试成绩真实可靠，客观的反映了学生高二第一学期前9周的学习情况。

以下就本班这次考试详加分析。

（一）整体情况本次考试，共有6门科目，除数学、外语、语文满分150分外，其他六科都为满分120分，总满分810分，其中政治为开卷考试，因此不列入分析序列，下（二）学生个体分析全班有25位同学有不同程度的进步，其中，进步较大的5位学生：刘紫霜雷欢耿鹏飞王开元韩华退步的较大的学生：杨培李睿钊江云龙杨振华李美琳张晓娜，张金诚退步最大，刘紫霜进步最快。

（四）个体分析（五）对学校及本班任课教师的建议希望学校能够调整学生的上课时间，留给学生消化和吸收的时间，使学生能够有时间做作业，有时间复习旧知识，有时间预习。

我想与其将学生控制在校园进行无效的被动学习，不如适当放手，让他们学会自由的主动的学习。

教学效果集中体现在学生学习的效果上，不能只注重学生的考试成绩，而不重视对学生学习过程的效果进行诊断和改进，有时虽然我们也在关注教学过程中的学习效果问题，但只是模糊的关注，没有具体的程序和措施加以落实。

这样的结果使学生在学习过程中存在的问题得不到及时解决，负积累不断增加，使学生得不到复习的成功感，从而产生急躁的情绪，这可能是部分后进生进步比较慢的重要原因，因此通过把班级教学过程的管理落到实处，使学生在学习过程中及时解决问题，获得成功体验，是保证教学过程质量的重要保证。

另外，希望每一个老师都能注意控制一下作业的量，提高作业的效果，注意大家的协同工作，不要导致学生的死学现象的产生，要知道老师布置的作业学生来不及做，他们只能选择抄！（六）考后班级管理中拟采取的措施1、因材施教，分层管理。

对待不同的学生采取不同的措施，作到“导、扶、激”。

AAruba is one of the most well-known Caribbean destinations for tourists around the world.You’re probably wondering what to include as well as what to wear while you’re in Aruba.ClothesThe main reason why you’re heading there is to relax on the country’s fresh beaches and joy in warm waters of the Caribbean Sea. During most of the day, you’ll likely be wearing your swimsuit. When you’re finished at the beach or pool area, it is advisable to bring along a shirt or cover as well as shorts to wear.It is not recommended to wear beach clothes when you go out for dinner –regardless of the time of day. Shorts and T-shirts are enough in many restaurants, although more formal clothes are advised for the fanciest eating establishments. What else to bring?The Caribbean sun is very strong and if you’re planning on spending lots of time in the sun, there are several precautions you must take. Include suncream, sunglasses, a wide hat, a couple of bathing suits, as well as a beach bag and a cooler in your luggage.What NOT to bring?While drinking water is questionable or not safe in many Caribbean nations, Aruba is an exception. Aruba is known for having the cleanest water in the world. Thereis no need to bring water, simply bring along an empty bottle.Several items are prohibited in Aruba for carrying. These include firearms, e-cigarettes, as well as sharp objects and tools.1.Tourists choose Aruba for a destination mainly because__________.A. they can wear casual clothes freelyB. they can enjoy the beautiful sceneryC. they can relax on the beach and in watersD. they can have a wonderful dinner party there2. Which of the following is not advised to do in Aruba?A. Wearing a T-shirt in a restaurant.B. Preparing suncream in advance.C. Wearing beach clothes for dinner.D. Taking along sun glasses before going out.3. The purpose of the text is to__________.A. provide information for touristsB. offer advice on travelling in ArubaC. attract more tourists to travel in ArubaD. warn tourists against doing wrong thingsBI never planned to be a teacher. I was headed for a law school, for a real career. Teaching was something to “get out of my system”. I would teach a couple of years and then go to get a real job. After the first couple of years, I promised myself I would leave if I didn’t love my job any more. Twenty-nine years later, that day still has not come.So, why do I stay? I stay because I laugh and learn every day. The children are funny, insightful, and honest. If my shoes don’t matc h my outfit, they tell me. If my argument that Invisible Man is an important twentieth century classics doesn’t convince them, they tell me.I stay because every single day is different. Some days, my lessons are great, and I have classes of students who are engaged in reading, writing and thinking. Some days, my lessons fall flat, and I realize that I need to start from scratch — even after 29 years.I stay because I love to see the children realize that they have learned something —whether it’s how to cr aft an argumentative thesis sentence or how to understand the effect of repetition in The Declaration of Independence. I love to see thechildren write well; I love the feeling of reading a well-argued essay, and I love smiling as I write a final “Awesome job!” on a paper on which a student has worked hard.I stay because what I’ve learned in 29 years is that I do have a “real” job —the most real job there is. It’s the one that leads to other jobs, that helps to create good thinkers who go on to be productive in our society, and that supports our community as it grows and times change. My job is among the ones that matter most.4.The author became a teacher because he ____________.A. needed money to go to a law schoolB. loved dealing with childrenC. loved teaching very muchD. failed to get a “real” job5. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that the author _________.A. often pays no attention to his outfitB. is good at convincing his studentsC. enjoys his time with his studentsD. doesn’t re ad many classics6. According to Paragraph 4, the author continues to teach most probably because ________.A. teaching makes him feel he can make a difference to childrenB. teaching makes him realize every day is differentC. he can learn a lot of things from teachingD. he likes to be praised by his students7. What is the passage mainly about?A. What the author has learned as a teacher.B. What the author thinks of being a teacher.C. Why the author didn’t choose to become a lawyer.D. Why the author chooses to stay as a teacher.CA young woman sits alone in a café sipping tea and reading a book. She pauses briefly to write in a nearby notepad before showing her words to a passing café waiter: “Where are the toilets please?” This is a familiar scene in Tokyo’s so-called “silent cafés”, where customers are not allowed to speak, and only communicate by writing in notepads.The concept rises by a desire to be alone among young Japanese, a situation brought by economic uncertainty, a shift in traditional family support structures and the growing social isolation. The phenomenon is not limited to coffee shops butcovers everything from silent discos, where participants dance alone wearing wireless headphones connected to the DJ, to products such as small desk tents designed for conversation-free privacy in the office. One Kyoto company even offers single women the opportunity to have a “one woman wedding” —a full bridal affair, complete with white dress and ceremony, and the only thing missing is the groom. The trend has its own media expression —“botchi-zoku”, referring to individuals who consciously choose to do things completely on their own.One recent weekday afternoon, Chihiro Higashikokubaru, a 23-year-old nurse, travelled 90 minutes from her home, to Tokyo on her day off in order to enjoy some solo time. Speaking quietly at the entrance of the cafe, Miss Higashikokubaru said: “I heard about this place via Twitter and I like the idea of coming here. I work as a nurse and it's always very busy. There are very few quiet places in Tokyo, and it's a big busy city. I just want to come and sit somewhere quietly on my own. I’m going to drink a cup of tea and maybe do some drawings. I like the idea of a quiet, calm atmosphere.”The desire to be isolated is not a new concept in Japan, home to an estimated 3.6 million “hikikomori” —a more extreme example of social recluses (隐士) who withdraw completely from society.8. What is special about the “silent cafes”?A. It provides various tea and books.B. People are not allowed to communicate.C. It has attracted many popular young people.D. It offers service by writing not by speaking.9. Which of the following accounts for the idea of being alone in Japan?A. The increasing social isolation.B. The stable economic situation.C. The rising demand for privacy.D. The rapid development of internet.10. What do we know about Higashikokubaru?A. She doesn’t like to be a nurse.B. She doesn’t like the life in big cities.C. She enjoys her solo time in a quiet place.D. She travelled to Tokyo on her work days.11. What is the best title of the passage?A. Silent cafesB. Lonely JapaneseC. One woman weddingD. Social recluses in JapanDA study showed that the experiences children have in their first few years are important. These experiences affect the development of the brain. When children receive more attention, they often have higher IQs. Babies receive information when they see, hear and feel things, which makes connections between different parts of the brain. There are a hundred trillion (万亿) connections in the brain of a three-year-old child.Researcher Judit Gervain tested how good newborns are at distinguishing different sound patterns. Her researchers produced images of the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns. For example, one order was mu-ba-ba. This is the pattern"A-B-B". Another order was mu-ba-ge. This is the pattern “A-B-C”. The images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech was more active during the “A-B-B” pattern. This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns. They also were sensitive to where it occurred in the order.Gervain is excited by these findings because the order of sounds is the building block of words and grammar.“Position is key to language,” she says. “If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference: ‘John caught the bear.’ is very different from ‘The bear caught John.’”Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books, the Internet, or smartphones—no matter how educational—doesn’t appear to be enough for children’s brain development. They conducted a study of nine-month-old American babies. They expected the first group who’d watched video s in Chinese to show the same kind of learning as the second group who were brought face-to-face with the same sounds. Instead they found a huge difference. The babies in the second group were able to distinguish between similar Chinese sounds as well as native listeners. But the other babies —regardless of whether they had watched the video or listened to the audio—learned nothing.12. What makes connections in a baby’s brain?A. Having a higher IQ.B. Experiencing new information.C. The baby’ early ag e.D. The connection with other babies.13. What did Judit Gervain and her team find in the experiment?A. Babies identify different sound patterns.B. Word order is relevant to meaning.C. Babies can well understand different words.D. A certain brain region processes language.14. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 3?A. Grammar is important in learning languages.B. Different orders have different meanings.C. Different languages have different grammar.D. Words have different sounds.15. What is the main conclusion from the study led by Patricia Kuhl?A. Babies shouldn’t watch a lot of television.B. Listening to different languages develops babies’ brain.C. Foreign languages help babies’ brain develop.D. Social communication improv es babies’ brain development.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，选项中有两项为多余项。

One weekend, they were told to spend the money on a material purchase—a gift for themselves. The next weekend, they were instructed to spend the $40 on anything that saved them time, from paying the neighbor’s kid to run erran ds (跑腿) to taking a Uber instead of a bus.“On the day they made the time-saving purchase, they felt happier, in a better mood, and lower feelings of time stress than on the day they bought a material purchase” said Whillans.The biggest surprise to the researchers was how few people would spend money on time-saving services. When they asked 98 working adults how they would spend a “windfall” of $40, only two percent named a purchase that would save them time.“One reason,’’ said Whillans, “is that we’re ve ry bad at remembering how much we hate doing certain tasks once the suffering has passed. That makes us less likely to take active steps to avoid that over burdened feeling in the future.” But another possible cause is good old-fashioned guilt. “If you fee l guilty about getting someone to clean your house for you, then you might get less happiness from outsourcing that task,” said Whillans, or you might just be less likely to spend your money in that way. ’’4.In the Canadian experiment, the participants _________ .A.were divided into two groupsB.were given $ 40 every two weeksC.were asked to give money to a neighbor’s kidD.were asked to spend the money in different ways5.According to the author, what can make people less time-stressed?A.Paying much for a concert ticket.B.Taking a regular bus to get to work.C.Employing someone to clean the garden.D.Buying themselves an expensive present.6.When it comes to spending money on ‘‘buying time”, ________ .A.no people would like to do itB.a small percentage of people choose to do itC.more people will do it if extra money is givenD.most people like the idea but don’t practice it in life7. What do the underlined words “that overburdened feeling” in Paragraph 6 refer to?A. The good old-fashioned guilt.B. The feeling of spending money on goods.C. The stress of having someone clean your house.D. The discomfort when completing tasks we hate doing.CGerman artist HA Schult is an unusual artist who uses trash to make sculptures. “We are living in the time of garbage,” says Schult. “I created a thousand sculptures of garbage. They are a mirror of ourselves.”Here, Schult was talking about his 1,000 trash sculptures in the form of humans. He first exhibited them in 1996 in the western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.“They are social sculptures,” he explains. “They are not only sculptures for the eyes. They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage.” So far, Schult’s social sculptures have been on show in Paris, in Moscow’s Red Square, on the Great Wall of China, and in the d esert next to the Giza Pyramids near Cairo.HA Schult’s work is unforgettable. Although his work has had a big influence on the art world, Schult remains modest about his creations: “Artists have to learn every time. We are not important. All that counts i s the time in which we are living.”Trash art has been around for years. But it seems that only the popular artists are regarded as true artists when working with trash. Why can’t common people be considered artists when they use the same things and change them into some form of personal art? Maybe it’s because we all have our own preset ideas of what art is and isn’t, or who artists are or should be.You can be an artist like Schult if you try. Look at used metal cans. What might be done with them? Imagine them in any number of new uses, or imagine them simply as an art form. What about boxes or clothing? Boxes can usually serve as new storage containers and houses for pets. And clothing? Imagine taking old clothes and turning them into hats or hanging organizers.8. What do we know about Schult’s sculptures?A. They served as garbage containers.B. They reflected environmental issues.C. They were first shown in Paris, France.D. They were to raise economic awareness.9. HA Schult’s artistic works also get the message across that an artist must__________.A. be socially responsibleB. be as modest as possibleC. make garbage recyclableD. take diverse artistic forms10. According to the last 2 Paragraphs, the author probably agrees that __________.A. it takes talent to be a trash artistB. preset ideas are important to artistsC. trash art can't be seen as a real art formD. average people can also make trash artists11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Could You Be a Trash Artist?B. What Are Social Sculptures?C. Do You Know About Trash Art?D. How Can We Deal with Used Cans?DAs a child, visiting the zoo was more a punishment than a treat. I didn’t find the chimps’ tea parties funny, nor the bird shows entertaining. Feeding time for seals was less painful, but their performances still seemed like they belonged more in a circus.And I hated circuses, especially the animal acts — men teasing lions, girls balancing on elephants and monkeys playing football. I knew that every trick a circus animal did was unnatural, achieved through strict training and quite possibly cruelty.Happily, during my lifetime public attitudes and the law have changed. Circuses using wild animals are now almost extinct, and zoos have definitely evolved.When my children were young, I occasionally took them to our local zoo. The elephants were in tiny cages and the gorillas looked bored as they sat peeling bananas and staring at teasing visitors. Each cagehad a sign which listed the animal’s name and where it came from. But, back then, there was little information included about the environmental challenges they faced.As a result, environmentalists and animal lovers often oppose zoos. “Animals belong in the wild,” is a common and understandable complaint. But what do the animals themselves prefer?Generally speaking, zoo animals have a longer life. But — you may protest — they are not free. What? Free to be hunted and killed, free to die of hunger or thirst? Maybe sitting in a cage eating bananas isn’t so bad.Not that such conditions are acceptable in modern zoos, due to the work of BIAZA, the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums. These days every zoo requires BIAZA’s approval to operate, and the association sets the standards, observes conditions in zoos and develops animal-research programmes, both in the UK and abroad. BIAZA also organises the animal exchanges between zoos all over the world.Consequently, today, most zoo animals are born and raised in zoos, live in large, comfortable enclosures and are cared for by well-trained, knowledgeable and caring zoo employees. Of course it’s no substitute for living in the wild but unfortunately this isn’t always possible. Meanwhile, why not visit your local zoo and decide for yourself?12. The passage is mainly about __________.A. how zoos have improvedB. whether a zoo should be closed downC. a new environmental organisationD. the difference between zoos and circuses13. From Paragraph 2, we can guess that the writer believes circus animals __________.A. had much shorter lives than those in the wildB. were not treated well by their trainersC. should have been placed in zoosD. were not as intelligent as those in zoos14. Which of the following roles are performed by BIAZA?A. Organising animal study projects and training zoo workers.B. Checking zoo conditions and arranging animal exchanges.C. Designing zoos and approving zoo operations.D. Caring for ill animals and setting zoo standards.15. Which of the following statements about zoos would the writer agree with?A. Zoo animals should be freed into the wild.B. Zoos are more popular now than in the past.C. Zoo animals are more restricted than in the past.D. Zoos now provide caring living conditions for animals.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，选项中有两项为多余项。

ABeijing is the first city ever to hold both Summer and Winter Olympic Games. Now, let’s take a look at some of the most popular events in the Winter Olympic Games.Figure skatingFigure skating is one of the most popular sports at the Winter Olympics, where ice skaters, singly or in pairs, perform freestyle movements of jumps, spins, lifts, and footwork in a graceful manner. The figure skating competition is one of the fiercest at the Winter Olympics. To win the game, the skater can’t make any mistakes.CurlingCurling is one of the most unique sports at the Winter Olympics — a winter sport played by two teams of four players on a rectangular sheet of ice. The two teams take turns to slide large round flat stones towards a target. Members of each team use brooms to sweep the surface of the ice in the path of the stone to control its speed and direction.And while curling may be a “slow” sport, it’s still full of skill, suspense and excitement!SnowboardingSnowboarding is a popular winter sport that involves sliding downhill on snow with a snowboard firmly attached to a rider’s feet. The sport is said to have been inspired by surfing, skiing and skateboarding, as an alternative to alpine skiing (高山滑雪).While snowboarding is one of the newer events — first included at the 1998 Winter Olympics, it has become one of the most popular and exciting sports at the Winter Olympics.Ice hockeyIce hockey is a game between two teams who wear skates and compete on an ice rink (溜冰场). Each team usually has six players. The object is to push the puck (冰球) past a goal line and into a net guarded by a goalkeeper. Ice hockey is popular for its speed and frequent physical contact. Worldwide there are more than a million registered ice hockey players performing regularly in leagues.26.Figure skates ought to be ________.A. elegant and faultlessB. inspiring and excitingC. skillful and defensiveD. calm and fashionable27. Which of the winter sports mentioned above involves team work?A. Figure skating and Curling.B. Curling and Ice hockey.C. Snowboarding and Figure skating.D. Snowboarding and Ice hockey.28. What do we know about these winter sports from the passage?A. Snowboarding originated from skiing, surfing and shooting.B. Figure skating enjoys the greatest popularity.C. Over a million become ice hockey league members each year.D. The curling ice path is brushed to help the stone slide.BI fell in love with music from a young age and often sat down making a few songs of my own.What would life be like, I wondered, without a beautiful song? In 1992, I made two love songs to my darling wife and watched tears run down her face as I sang.“Sam,” she said earnestly, “Your songs should be heard by more people.”She got my ballads and started bothering various media people about me, her singing barber husband.Two radio stations took an interest and played the songs.After the programme was aired, I became known in our community as the Singing Barber.The biggest surprise, however, was still to come.I received a call from a music promoter who offered me a long-term recording contract.He explained that he would be investing a lot of money to market my songs.I needed to be wholly focused on selling my records all over Australia.But I hesitated.My friends all told me to go for it.And Mary also thought I should do.“Go, Sam.I’ll manage with the family...it’ll be OK.”I watched my daughter and son playing in the backyard.Soon they would both be in high schooland where would I be? I was so used to my family turning to me for love and support.If I were to start a singing career, I would not only miss them terribly, I’d also certainly miss out on watching them grow up.Signing this contract would put a huge gap between my family and meand I couldn’t bear it.My family was my life.So I refused the music promoter’s offer.I’m still making music. I'm rich in love and I have no regrets.29.When the author was offered the contract, most of his friends _______.A.envied himughed at himC.encouraged himD.didn’t believe him30.Why did the author give up the contract?A.Because his wife was strongly against it.B.Because the pay was not attractive enough.C.Because he wanted to care about his two kids.D.Because he didn’t want his family life damaged.31.According to the passage, we can infer that the author _______.ed to be a country singerB.preferred his present lifeC.went on the road to fameD.regretted giving up his contract32. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?A. One should know himself.B. Interest is the best teacher.C. Family should come first.D. Every dog has its day.CNearly two years after the COVID-19 outbreak, China has granted approval to its first antibody combination therapy for COVID-19 treatment, adding a tool to the world’s fight against the di sease.A team from Tsinghua University, along with the Shenzhen People’s Hospital,has accomplished the task in 20 months. It would usually take 10 years. “It can reduce the rate of hospitalization and death by 80 percent,” said Zhang Linqi, leader of the r esearch team.The new antibody drug is immediately effective after being used. Moreover, the therapy can protect people, especially those whose physical condition doesn’t allow vaccination (接种疫苗), from becoming infected(感染) by COVID-19 for around 9 to 12 months, said Zhang.How does it work? When a virus infects a cell, it relies on an important type of protein: the spike proteins (刺突蛋白) on its surface. The spike proteins serve as a key to unlocking a cell. If a virus cannot enter a cell, it will disappear immediately. The job of our antibodies is to block the virus from entering cells. So its target is very precise. In addition, thanks to the coordination between the two antibodies, it is highly efficient in preventing the virus, according to Zhang. The qualities of the new drug make it especially useful for high-risk groups, such as frontline medical workers and people not suitable for vaccination due to various underlying health problems.The new drug is expected to come to the market soon, but it’s not cheap. That’s because of limited production. Noting that China has used science and technology to fight COVID-19 since the beginning of the outbreak, Zhang said, “Science is the key to solving the issue. Science has shown its power in all sectors, from medical treatment, medicine and vaccine development to prevention and control measures.”33. What can we know about the new therapy according to paragraph 1 and paragraph 2?A. It’s the first way to treat COVID-19.B. It dramatically improves the survival rate of patients.C. It takes researchers 10 years to develop the new drug.D. It was developed by the team from one of China’s top universities.34. Which statement does the author probably agree with?A. Only medical workers can take this drug.B. Antibodies stop spike proteins entering a cell.C. The new drug takes effect after a period of use.D.The new drug can protect people from infection for life.35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. It is easy to produce the drug.B. The new drug has been put into use.C. Zhang thought highly of the power of science.D. China is the first country to use technology to fight disease.36. Where does the text probably come from?A. A textbook.B. An educational magazine.C. A medical journal.D. A tourist guide.DAs people get older, the types of friends they have tend to change. As young adults, humans have a lot of friends. With age, they often prefer to spend their time with just a few close, positive individuals. Researchers long believed that this change was unique to humans, but a new study finds that chimps(黑猩猩) also have similar tendencies.One explanation for the humans to get picky about social connections has to do with awareness oftheir limited lifetime. “People monitor how mu ch time they have left in their life and choose emotionally-fulfilling relationships in old age,”says one of the study’s lead authors Alexandra G. Rosati.As people age, they don’t want to be surrounded by a large group of negative friends, but would prefer to be near a handful of optimistic individuals.Rosati and her colleagues were curious whether chimps would show similar features even though they don’t seem to be aware of their upcoming death. Researchers used 78,000 hours of observations made over 20 years from the Kibale Chimpanzee Project in Uganda. The data looked at the social interactions of 21 male chimps between 15 and 58 years old. The researchers only studied male chimps because they show stronger social bonds and have more social interactions than female chimps.Researchers found that wild chimpanzees share a similar pattern.“They interact with others more positively ways as they get older. Younger adults, in contrast,show more aggression and were more likely to form one-sided relationships where their partner did not reciprocate.”says Rosati. For example, the older chimpanzees would sit close to their long-time companions and groom(梳理毛发) each other, while younger chimps had more one-sided relationships where they would groom a friend, but the action wasn’t returned. The study was published in the journal Science.This aging pattern may be the result of shared changes in our abilities to manage our emotions with age,”Rosati says.“This shared pattern between chimpanzees and humans could represent an adaptive response where older adults focus on important social relationships that provide benefits and avoid interactions that have negative consequences as they lose competitive fighting ability.”37.Why do humans change their preference for friends in old age?A.They don’t like making new friends.B.Their friends pass away one by one.C.They adapt to the changes in nature.D.They know their life is running out.38. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. How the study was carried out.B. How scientists proved their assumption.C. How hard it was to observe the chimps.D. Why male chimps are unaware of upcoming death.39.What does the underlined word“reciprocate”in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Repay their kindness.B. Take care of them.C. Get along well with them.D. Sit close to them.40.Which can be a suitable title for the text?A.People Prefer Positive Partners in Old AgeB.Positive Bonds Benefit Chimps in Many WaysC.Aging Chimps like Us Get Picky About FriendsD. Chimps Share Similar Tendencies with Humans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，选项中有两项为多余项。

My 31 of school, music and what I planned to do on Saturday night were 32 with the simple aim to beat the football team across the field from us tonight.Approaching my locker, I noticed my teammates 33 .Some rested on benches, staring up at the ceiling 34 it were a film of the opposing team’s play. Some seemed a bit more 35 , using the time to tell jokes. A few stared at the field, 36 what will happen in 120 minutes.Our coach, Tony Severino, came out of his office at 6 o’clock.He told the team how 37 t his game was for the season, between two of the state’s top teams—my school and our opposing team, Liberty High School. His words gave the team impulse （冲动）it needed to 38 .At 7:10 pm, warm-ups finished, we went over the game 39 and discussed what we needed to do for the next three hours. The sound of the national anthem 40 that we were only minutes from the action.Our coach usually made a final 41 .But tonight was different. On this clear night he 42 looked around the room at all the players and shouted, “Let’s go and get them.” Even 43 the “get” came out of his mouth, we were already 44 our way out of the door.Outside, a few young fans reached to touch our hands, eager to be a 45 of our school’s winning tradition. When I smiled and 46 my hand, the young faces lit up as if they had just met Superman.Seconds later, the team ran onto the 47 , moving as a mass of blue, in front of a packed stadium.We enjoyed a noisy 48 from fans and the fight song played by our school band. Breathing in the 49 of one of the biggest game of the year, I felt we were sure to win.I told myself, “This was what it was all about” and 50 that it was for moments like this that I loved high school football.31．A．thoughts B．ideas C．pictures D．minds 32．A．covered B．mixed C．replaced D．filled 33．A．exercising B．struggling C．preparing D．previewing 34．A．in case B．even though C．as long as D．as if 35．A．relaxed B．worried C．frightened D．impressed 36．A．dreaming B．wishing C．thinking D．imagining 37．A．useless B．difficult C．available D．important 38．A．warm up B．pick up C．get up D．rise up 39．A．route B．flame C．plan D．forecast 40．A．urged B．insisted C．suggested D．stressed 41．A．speech B．preparation C．decision D．change 42．A．finally B．simply C．actually D．eventually43．A．when B．before C．as D．since 44．A．leading B．dragging C．showing D．making 45．A．player B．friend C．part D．team46．A．held out B．took out C．got out D．brought out 47．A．field B．stage C．yard D．garden 48．A．success B．reply C．achievement D．welcome 49．A．atmosphere B．experience C．expectation D．examination 50．A．accept B．admitted C．realized D．recognized Ⅲ．Reading comprehension （2’x 20）AWhere is that noise coming from? Not sure? Try living with your eyes closed for a few years.Blind people are better at locating sounds than people who can see, a new study says, without the benefits of vision the ears seem to work much better.Previous studies have shown that blind people are better than others at reaching out and touching the sources of sounds that are close by. Researchers from the University of Montreal wanted to see if blind people were also better at locating sounds that are far away.Twenty-three blind people participated in the study. All had been sightless for at least 20 years. Fourteen of them had lost their vision before age 11. the rest went blind after age 16. The experiment also included 10 people who could see but were wearing blind-folds.In one task, volunteers had to pick the direction of a sound coming from about 3 metres away.When the sound was in front of them or slightly off center in front, both groups performed equally well.When sounds came from the side or the back, however, the blind group performed much better than the blindfolded group.The participants who had been blind since childhood did slightly better than those who lost their sight later.Recognizing the locations of distant sounds can be a matter of life-or-death for blind people, say the researchers. Crossing the street, for instance, is much harder whe n you can’t see the cars coming.Still, the researchers were surprised by how well the blind participants did, especially those who went blind after age 16. In another experiment, the scientists also found that parts of the brain that normally deal with visual information became active in locating sound in the people who were blind by age 11.These brain parts didn’t show sound-location activity in the other group of blind people or in the sighted people. The scientists now want to learn more about the work ing of brains of “late-onset” blind people.51．The recent study shows blind people are better at telling________.A．The sources of loud sounds.B．the locations of distant soundsC．the direction of sharp soundsD．the distance of a sound in front of them52．If people were asked to tell the direction of a sound from the side, who would perform best?A．Those who are blind.B．Those who have gone blind since childhood.C．Those who went blind at age 16.D．Those who are blindfolded.53．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Whether to be able to locate the sounds can be of vital importance for the blind.B．All the volunteers in the experiment are sightless.C．All the participants did equally well when picking sounds from whatever direction.D．The later people become blind, the better they can perform in telling the direction of sounds.54．What do we know about that parts of brain dealing with visual information are active in locating sounds?A．This happens in almost all the testers.B．This only occurs in the people who were blind after age 16.C．It remains nothing new to the scientists any more.D．It remains a mystery why it is so.BThe first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.She said, “Hi, girl! My name is Rose.I’m 87 years old.Can I give you a hug?”I laughed and enthusiastically（热情地）respond ed, “Of course you may!” and she gave mea giant squeeze.“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel!”“No seriously,” I said. 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’m getting one!” she told me.Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet.I’ll neverforget what she taught us.“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only two secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day.You’ve got to have a dream. When y ou lose your dreams, you die!” she said.“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn 20 years older. 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.But every minute counts for young men,” she added.“The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t h ave regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”She concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Song of Rose”. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics（歌词）and live them out in our daily lives.At the year’s end, Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.55．Rose made herself known to the author in a ____________ manner.A．serious B．cold C．humorous D．crazy56．From the information provided in the passage, we know ____________.A．Rose finished the college degree within a yearB．Rose did realize her dream of meeting a rich husband and getting married through college educationC．Rose enjoyed her campus life very muchD．Rose grew so old that she stopped playing57．Rose delivered the speech ____________.A．at the graduation B．which she prepared carefullyC．ended with “The Song of Rose”D．to challenge all the other speakers 58．According to her speech, ____________.A．whenever you have a dream, you succeedB．not all people grow up while growing olderC．Rose usually regretted having done somethingD．a nine-year-old is as old as a 87-year-old if he doesn’t do anythingCArts and culture is lived and breathed in every corner of Canada.Due to a racial and immigrant （移民）population the variety and richness of art and sports is very evident.Since the Second World War, Canada has produced an impressive amount of writing. From novels to poetry, the selection is wide. Native writers are also becoming better known across Canada in recent years.Musicians are reaching a higher level of recognition in the world music scene. Everything from Country to Pop, Classical to Heavy Rock can be found across Canada and across the globe performed by Canadian artists.Film Crew in Canada The National Film Board is the primary producer of movies in Canada. However, many Hollywood studios are turning to Canada as a source for locations and as an alternative to the more expensive USA. Many well known actors, directors, screen writers and movies come from Canada and often scoop awards for their work.French art was the first to appear in Canada along the St Lawrence in and around Quebec. Since then the volume of art and artists has increased.Canadian photography as well as painting by Canadians are not well known outside of Canada but recognition is increasing.Sport is a major part of today's society in Canada. Hockey is the most popular spectator sport with more participants taking part in curling. American style football and baseball are also very popular and all of these sports are played across Canada.59．What would be the best title of the passage?A．A brief introduction to CanadaB．Canadian arts, culture and sportsC．Canadian artistsD．Canadian arts and culture are world famous60．Canada has many forms of art and culture because it has ________________.A．a long history B．a large areaC．a large population D．a variety of nations and immigrants 61．Many Hollywood studios come to settle in Canada because______________.A．The cost in Canada is lower than that in the USA.B．Canada has many well known actors and directors.C．They want to work together with the movie producers in Canada.D．They want to make movies about Canada.62．Which of the statements about Canada is Wrong?A．Canadian Arts has been much influenced by French people.B．Canadian people love sports very much.C．There are many big film-making companies in Canada.D．Canadian Arts and artists are becoming better known.DMany of us liking cooking but never have much time for it.Helen Fry’s new book Quick Cooking has been specially written for busy people. It has over 1,000 recipes, from the famous Spanish gazpacho to Swedish smorgasbord. The book is well written and the photographs and drawings are clear.（They are like those in the excellent Quick Dressmaking and Quick Gardening.）The book has a strong plastic cover. It is easy to find your way around it too. And busy people, notice this! Mrs Fry tells you how much time you need in order to get eachdish ready.Quick Cooking has 4 parts, one for each season.This helps you to use fresh fruit and vegetables when they are cheaper—and, of course, better.There are a lot of exciting ideas from foreign countries, and most of the recipes are easy to follow. You take something simple like a chicken or some cheese, and make an unusual dish out of it. For example, there are no fewer than 40 recipes for eggs! Mrs Fry does not plan complete meals for the “quick book”. The beginners will have to find out a lot of things for himself — or herself. But this ought not to be difficult with such a good book. I wanted to try many of the recipes as soon as I read them.For people with little spare time, Helen Fry’s Quick Cooking is of excellen t value. 63．Helen Fry’s book is called Quick Cooking because __________.A．you can cook all the dishes in it quicklyB．there is over 1,000 recipes in itC．it is written for people who don’t have much timeD．it tells you how to cook all kinds of food quickly64．Busy people should notice that __________.A．all the recipes in the book are easy to followB．there are clear photographs and drawings in the bookC．the book has a strong coverD．they are told how long each dish takes to cook65．This passage is mainly probably ____________.A．a book review B．a noticeC．a letter to an editor D．an introduction on cooking66．We can infer from the passage that__________.A．Helen Fry is good at writing books quicklyB．Complete meals are planned only for beginnersC．Ther e are quite a few “quick books” for busy peopleD．Beginners are advised to start making meals out of the cheapest materialsEThere used to be four common life phases （阶段）: childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age.Now, there are at least six: childhood, adolescence, odyssey, adulthood, active retirement and old age.Of the new ones, the least understood is odyssey, the decade of wandering that frequently occurs between adolescence and adulthood.They see that people in this age bracket are delaying marriage. They're delaying having children. They're delaying permanent employment. People who were born before 1964 tend to define adulthood by certain achievements moving away from home, becoming financially independent, getting married and starting a family.In 1960, roughly 70 percent of 30-year-olds had achieved these things. By 2000, fewer than 40 percent of 30-year-olds had done the same.Yet with a little imagination it's possible even for baby boomers （生育高峰期的人）to understand what it's like to be in the middle of the odyssey years. It's possible to see that this period is a sensible response to modern conditions.Two of the American best social scientists have been trying to understand this new life period. Through their work, you can see uncertainty that now characterizes this stage. Young people grow up in tightly structured childhoods, Robert Wuthnow of Princeton observes, but then graduate into a world of uncertainty. Old success recipes don't apply, new systems have not been established and everything seems to give way to a less permanent version of itself. Dating gives way to Facebook and hooking up.Newspaper reading gives way to blogging. For example, in 1970, 49 percent of adults in their 20s read a daily paper, now it's at 21 percent.The job market is changeable.Graduating seniors don’t find corporations offering them jobs that will guide them all the way to retirement.Instead they find a vast menu of information economy options, few of which they have heard of or prepared for.67．Which is the correct order of the following life phases?a. childhoodb. adolescencec. adulthoodd. old agee. odysseyf. active retirementA．a-b-c-d-e-f B．a-b-e-c-f-d C．a-b-e-d-f-c D．a-b-c-e-d-f68．By 2000, most of the 30-year-olds ____________.A．were financially dependentB．got well-prepared for the employmentC．got married early and started their familyD．preferred blog writing to newspaper reading69．We can learn from Paragraph 5 that young people ______________.A．favor the world full of changesB．grew up in unstable childhoodsC．feel uneasy about the present situationD．may refer to the experience of their seniors70．The passage is probably followed by a paragraph about the ____________ A．concerns about active retirement phaseB．reasons for the birth of the odyssey phaseC．influences of the odyssey phase on the societyD．situations of active retirement in other countries第Ⅱ卷（非选择题共50分）注意事项：必须使用0.5毫米黑色墨迹签字笔在答题卡上题目所指是的答案区域内作答。

One weekend, they were told to spend the money on a material purchase—a gift for themselves. The next weekend, they were instructed to spend the $40 on anything that saved them time, from paying the neighbor’s kid to run errands (跑腿) to taking a Uber instead of a bus.“On the day they made the time-saving purchase, they felt happier, in a better mood, and lower feelings of time stress than on the day they bought a material purchase” said Whillans.The biggest surprise to the researchers was how few people would spend money on time-saving services. When they asked 98 working adults how they would spend a “windfall” of $40, only two percent named a purchase that would save them time.“One reason,’’ said Whillans, “is that we’re very bad at remembering how much we hate doing certain tasks once the suffering has passed. That makes us less likely to take active steps to avoid that over burdened feeling in the future.” But another possible cause is good old-fashioned guilt. “I f you feel guilty about getting someone to clean your house for you, then you might get less happiness from outsourcing that task,” said Whillans, or you might just be less likely to spend your money in that way. ’’4.In the Canadian experiment, the participants _________ .A.were divided into two groupsB.were given $ 40 every two weeksC.were asked to give money to a neighbor’s kidD.were asked to spend the money in different ways5.According to the author, what can make people less time-stressed?A.Paying much for a concert ticket.B.Taking a regular bus to get to work.C.Employing someone to clean the garden.D.Buying themselves an expensive present.6.When it comes to spending money on ‘‘buying time”, ________ .A.no people would like to do itB.a small percentage of people choose to do itC.more people will do it if extra money is givenD.most people like the idea but don’t practice it in life7. What do the underlined words “that overburdened feeling” in Paragraph 6 refer to?A. The good old-fashioned guilt.B. The feeling of spending money on goods.C. The stress of having someone clean your house.D. The discomfort when completing tasks we hate doing.CGerman artist HA Schult is an unusual artist who uses trash to make sculptures. “We are living in the time of garbage,” says Schult. “I created a t housand sculptures of garbage. They are a mirror of ourselves.” Here, Schult was talking about his 1,000 trash sculptures in the form of humans. He first exhibited them in 1996 in the western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.“They are social sculptures,” he explains. “They are not only sculptures for the eyes. They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage.” So far, Schult’s social sculptures have been on show in Paris, in Moscow’s Red Square, on the Great Wall of China, and in the desert next to the Giza Pyramids near Cairo.HA Schult’s work is unforgettable. Although his work has had a big influence on the art world, Schult remains modest about his creations: “Artists have to learn every time. We are not important. All that counts is the time in which we are living.”Trash art has been around for years. But it seems that only the popular artists are regarded as true artists when working with trash. Why can’t common people be considered artists when they use the same things a nd change them into some form of personal art? Maybe it’s because we all have our own preset ideas of what art is and isn’t, or who artists are or should be.You can be an artist like Schult if you try. Look at used metal cans. What might be done with them? Imagine them in any number of new uses, or imagine them simply as an art form. What about boxes or clothing? Boxes can usually serve as new storage containers and houses for pets. And clothing? Imagine taking old clothes and turning them into hats or hanging organizers.8. What do we know about Schult’s sculptures?A. They served as garbage containers.B. They reflected environmental issues.C. They were first shown in Paris, France.D. They were to raise economic awareness.9. HA Schult’s artistic works also get the message across that an artist must__________.A. be socially responsibleB. be as modest as possibleC. make garbage recyclableD. take diverse artistic forms10. According to the last 2 Paragraphs, the author probably agrees that __________.A. it takes talent to be a trash artistB. preset ideas are important to artistsC. trash art can't be seen as a real art formD. average people can also make trash artists11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Could You Be a Trash Artist?B. What Are Social Sculptures?C. Do You Know About Trash Art?D. How Can We Deal with Used Cans?DAs a child, visiting the zoo was more a punishment than a treat. I didn’t find the chimps’ tea parties funny, nor the bird shows entertaining. Feeding time for seals was less painful, but their performances still seemed like they belonged more in a circus.And I hated circuses, especially the animal acts —men teasing lions, girls balancing on elephants and monkeys playing football. I knew that every trick a circus animal did was unnatural, achieved through strict training and quite possibly cruelty.Happily, during my lifetime public attitudes and the law have changed. Circuses using wild animals are now almost extinct, and zoos have definitely evolved.When my children were young, I occasionally took them to our local zoo. The elephants were in tiny cages and the gorillas looked bored as they sat peeling bananas and staring at teasing visitors. Each cage had a sign which listed the animal’s name and where it came from. But, back then, there was little information included about the environmental challenges they faced.As a result, environmentalists and animal lovers often oppose zoos. “Animals belong in the wild,” is a common and understandable com plaint. But what do the animals themselves prefer?Generally speaking, zoo animals have a longer life. But — you may protest — they are not free. What? Free to be hunted and killed, free to die of hunger or thirst? Maybe sitting in a cage eating bananas i sn’t so bad.Not that such conditions are acceptable in modern zoos, due to the work of BIAZA, the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums. These days every zoo requires BIAZA’s approval to operate, and the association sets the standards, observes conditions in zoos and develops animal-research programmes, both in the UK and abroad. BIAZA also organises the animal exchanges between zoos all over the world.Consequently, today, most zoo animals are born and raised in zoos, live in large, comfortable enclosures and are cared for by well-trained, knowledgeable and caring zoo employees. Of course it’s no substitute for living in the wild but unfortunately this isn’t always possible. Meanwhile, why not visit your local zoo and decide for yourself?12. The passage is mainly about __________.A. how zoos have improvedB. whether a zoo should be closed downC. a new environmental organisationD. the difference between zoos and circuses13. From Paragraph 2, we can guess that the writer believes circus animals __________.A. had much shorter lives than those in the wildB. were not treated well by their trainersC. should have been placed in zoosD. were not as intelligent as those in zoos14. Which of the following roles are performed by BIAZA?A. Organising animal study projects and training zoo workers.B. Checking zoo conditions and arranging animal exchanges.C. Designing zoos and approving zoo operations.D. Caring for ill animals and setting zoo standards.15. Which of the following statements about zoos would the writer agree with?A. Zoo animals should be freed into the wild.B. Zoos are more popular now than in the past.C. Zoo animals are more restricted than in the past.D. Zoos now provide caring living conditions for animals.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，选项中有两项为多余项。

As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then, ___25___ is not an important factor.Other experts feel that giving the worker___26___ to do his job in his own way is important, and there is no doubt that this is true. The ___27___ is that this kind of freedom can’t easily be given in the m odern factory with its complicated(复杂的machinery which must be used in a ___28___ way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to ___29___ it.Another important ___30___ is how much each worker ___31___ to the product he is making. In most factories the worker ___32___ only one small part of the product. Some car factories are now ___33___ with having many small production lines rather than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his___34___. It would seem that not only is degree of worker contribution an important factor ___35___ it is one we can do something about.To what___36___ does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is ___37___. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. ___38___ just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A ___39___ argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we ___40___ making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.21. A. answer B. course C. attempt D. system22.

Reading comprehension (40pointsAOlaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and Last Men, in which he looked millions of years ahead. He told of different men and of strange civilizations(文明, broken up by long “dark ages” in between. In his view, what is called the present timeis no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men. In 2,000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men.However, most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted. Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years. But the next hundred? The next thousand? The next million? That’s much more difficult.When men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago, how could they even begin to picture modern life? Yet to men of 50,000 years from now, we may seem as primitive(原始的 in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us. Perhaps they will spend their days gollocking to make new spundels, or struggling with their ballalators through the cribe. These words, which I have just made up, have to stand for things and ideas that we simply can’t think of.So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future? Here are two reasons. First, unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole human history, we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are. If we make the earth a poor place to live because we are careless or greedy(贪婪 or quarrelsome, our grandchildren will not bother to think of excuses for us.Second, by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future, we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves. For example, if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming, we can think of trying it now. So set you imagination free when you think about the future.41. A particular mention made of Stapledon’s book in the opening paragraph________.A. serves as a description of human historyB. serves an introduction to the discussionC. shows a disagreement of viewsD. shows the popularity of the book42. The text discusses men and women 50,000 years ago and 50,000 years from now inorder to show that ________.A. human history is extremely longB. life has changed a great dealC. it is useless to plan for the next 50 yearsD. it is difficult to tell what will happen in the future43. Spundels and ballalators are used in the text to refer to ________.A. tools used in farmingB. ideas about modern lifeC. unknown things in the futureD. hunting skills in the Stone Age44. according to the writer of the text, imagining the future will ________.A. serve the interests of the present and future generationsB. enable us to better understand human historyC. help us to improve farmingD. make life worth living.BExcused from recycling because you live in a high rise with a rubbish chute? You won’t be for long. Miami’s Mark Shantzis has made it simple for those living in tall buildings to use the chute and recycle too.In Shantzis’ Hi-Rise Recycling System, a chute leads to a pie-shaped container with six boxes that can turn around when operated. The system, which fits in the same space as the chute and container now in use, enables glass, plastic, paper, metal, and other rubbish to go into separate boxes.The system is controlled from a board fixed next to the chute door. The board has a button for each class of recycling materials (as well as for unrecyclables. At the press of a button, a microcomputer locks all other floors’ chute door and sets the recycling container turning until the right box comes under the chute. The computer also counts the loads and gives a signal by phone when the box is full. And a particular piece of equipment breaks up the nonrecyclables.Sorting(分类 recyclables before they are collected saves the use of expensive materials recovery equipment which otherwise has to do the sorting. Such equipment often makes recycled materials very expensive, so expensive that tons of recyclables remain wasted. Shantzis believes his system could help recycled materials become more cost-effective.45. The purpose in writing this text is ________.A. to encourage people to recycle their rubbishB. to introduce a recycling system for high risesC. to describe the use of computer technology in recyclingD. to explain the need for rubbish collection in high rises46. When he says “You won’t be for long” the writer means that ________.A. you’ll soon be living in a cleaner buildingB. rubbish chutes will become out of date before longC. you won’t wait long for your turn to recycle rubbishD. it won’t be long before you’ll have to recycle your rubbish47. Before dropping rubbish into the chute you have to ________.A. lock the other floors’ chute doorsB. check if the container is fullC. press the correct buttonD. break up the rubbish48. The biggest advantage of this new system is that _________.A. it reduces the cost of recyclingB. it saves time and spaceC. it saves money for people living in high risesD. it makes better use of the existing recovery equipmentCEvery year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for—its stadium and theatres, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii’s people. They do not see t hem because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2000 years.Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a grass-covered volcano(火山. Mount Vesuvius had not erupted(喷发for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried under 20 feetof stones and ashes. Almost all of its people were dead.For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue colour in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread, too; metal bread pans were in every bakery. In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves ofbread ?a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup.Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.49. Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?A. To visit the volcano.B. To shop and eat there.C. To watch sports and plays.D. To see how Pompeiians lived.50. Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?A. The city nearby offered all kinds of fun.B. The area produced the finest wine in Italy.C. Few people expected the volcano to erupt again.D. The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass.51. Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?A. Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.B. Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.C. Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.D. Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.52. What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2000 years ago?A. They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.B. They liked women wearing all kinds of makeup.C. They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.D. They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79.DWhen I was a boy, I belonged to the Boy Scouts so I used to go camping every summer, and once something happened which I have never been able to explain.We were camping in a place above a river. After arriving, we all rushed down to the river and had a swim. Standing by the river, we noticed that it was surrounded(环绕 by cliffs(悬崖. If someone wanted to reach the river at this point, he had to walk past our camp.Several days later, the scoutmaster had to be away for a day. That afternoon, we had supper early. We were sitting round the fire, eating and talking, when a man walked past and went down towards the river. We all felt that this man looked very strange, but, because each of us was afraid of looking very stupid, no one said anything.We ate rather slowly, taking as long as possible. After finishing, we collected our plates together so that we could take them to the river where we always washed them. But no one moved towards the river梬e stood looking at each other ashamed. Then all shouting at once, we began talking about the man who had walked past us. We agreed how strange he looked and we wondered what he could be doing by the river. We knew that he could only return by passing through our camp.An hour passed. Then one of the boys suggested we should creep(悄悄移动 down by the river so that we could see what the man was doing. Moving very slowly and keeping in the shadow, we crept down towards the bank. One boy climbed a tree so that he could see everything clearly. He called to us that there was no one there, so we ran down to the bank, looking everywhere carefully. We could not understand where the man had gone.When it got dark, we went back to our camp feeling bewildered. We told the scoutmaster what had happened in the evening. Smiling, he doubted that we had seenthe man, but finally suggested we go and look again. We did, but there was no one there.Many years have passed, but I still remember it as if it were yesterday. What did we see? I do not know.53. The writer in the text mainly tells us _________.A. the story of his childhoodB. a strange camping experienceC. about a stranger by the riverD. about a good place for camping54. Why did the boys eat their supper slowly?A. They wanted to delay going to the river bank.B. They were sitting for their scoutmaster.C. They had a supper earlier than usual.D. They were taking while eating.55. The word “Bewildered” in th e text probably means _________.A. ashamedB. nervousC. unable to understandD. eager to know something56. The writer still remembers the event because ________.A. the boys acted foolishlyB. the camping place is beautifulC. there has been no explanation for the eventD. he particularly enjoyed his camping that summer.EHolidaymakers who are bored with baking beaches and overheated hotel rooms head for a big igloo. Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel, the world’s first i gloo hotel. Built in a small town in Lapland, it has bee n attracting lots of visitors, but soon the fun will be over.In two weeks?time Bergqvist’s ice creation(作品 will be nothing more than a pool of water. “We don’t see it as a big problem,” he says. “We just look forward to replacing it.”Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991 for an art exhibition. It was so successful that he designed the present one, which measures roughly 200 square meters. Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze, the bas e was removed. “The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo is the front door,” he says.After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success. With no windows, nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0℃, it may seem more like a survival test than a relaxing(轻松的hotel break. “It’s great fun,”Bergqvist explains, “As well as a good start in survival training.”The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt: it is now attracting tourists from all over the world. At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10 rooms. “You can get a lot of people in,” explains Bergqvist. “The beds are three meters wide by two meters long, and can fit at least four at one time.”57. Bergq vist designed and built the world’s first igloo hotel because ________.A. he believed people would enjoy trying something newB. he wanted to make a name for the small townC. an art exhibition was about to openD. more hotel rooms were needed58.
