For many years I had wanted to take my family on the train.We all had been to Chicago four years ago, and the kids loved it. Chicago is one of my favourite cities, too, so the thought struck me again last fall to ride the train to Chicago. Of course, flying would have been faster. But I don’t think flying is easier, especially these days, with all the security and waiting in lines at airports.Though we were tired in the middle of the night, the kids got on the train with the exhilaration of this adventure.“We’re moving,” my son William shouted happily with big eyes as the train began to pull away from the Hutchinson station.I removed my shoes and lay down to try to finish my night’s sleep.The sleeper car would have better enabled that, but the ordinary train seats were not too bad. An airline flight is a harder experience for me：not enough room, two hours of pain with my knees almost touching my mouth.On the train I could almost outstretch all of my 6-foot-2-plus body in the generous legroom.The journey didn’t feel at all as long as it was.We all found the train ride a joy.The car ride would have felt every minute of 13 hours. But on the train you are free to walk around, sit in the observation carriage for a while and enjoy the scenery out the windows, have a nice meal in the dining car, read a book, or play a board game.In short, the train is all about enjoying the trip, which isn’t something I do s o much when travelling by airline or by car, when the trip seems more of a mission(任务) to get there than an experience to enjoy along the way.Chicago offers much to do for a family.This time, getting there was half the fun.4.We can learn from the first paragraph that_____.A. the kids love the train journeyB. it was the first time that the kids had taken the trainC. the author didn’t enjoy the long train journeyD. Chicago is one of the kids’ favourite cities5.What does the underlined w ord “exhilaration” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Tiredness.B. Relaxation.C. Excitement.D. Worry.6.In the third paragraph, an airline flight experience is mentioned to show________A. a train ride is more comfortableB. a train ride is too longC. an airline flight is miserableD. an airline flight is easier7.Which of the following words best describes the whole family’s feeling about the train journey?A. Moved.B. Nervous.C. Disappointed.D. Delighted.CIt was the first day of second grade, and Sarah had been looking forward to this moment.The night before, she laid out her favorite clothes: a white coat and a bright yellow shirt.When having breakfast, Sarah dropped some food on her shirt, so she had to change into her second-best clothes, blue jeans and a Jonas Brothers T-shirt.After breakfast Sarah rushed to catch the school bus and when she was just reaching the door, the bus driver opened it.The door hit right in Sarah’s face and blood dripped from her nose.The driver wanted to send her home, but she refused, “It is the most important day of the year! I can’t miss it！”Before classes, Sarah went to her favorite swing.When rising high, she saw her best friend little Jack.She let go of the swing and waved to him with one hand.Unfortunately, she flew out of the swing and landed hard on the sand, breaking a leg and an arm. As she lay in the sand, she noticed a shiny thing on the ground beside her.With her good hand she took it.When Sarah’s mother rushed into the ward, she was surprised by what she saw: her girl was lying in bed with an arm and a leg in the splint(夹板), a broken nose, and blood stains on her second-best clothes. Expecting to see her child crying, she was confused when she saw a big, bright smile on Sarah’s face.“Sarah, look at you!” her mother cried.“You were hurt so badly and why are you smiling？”“Look, Mommy, I found a diamond！” Sarah laughed.Life can be like that. It can be tough, even painful sometimes. But there are always treasures that make the pain worth suffering.8.When Sarah went to school，she was wearing__________.A. a white coat and a Jonas Brothers T-shirtB. blue jeans and a yellow shirtC. a white coat and a yellow shirtD. blue jeans and a Jonas Brothers T-shirt9.Sarah fell off the swing because__________.A. she seldom played on the swingB. she rose too highC. she waved one hand to her friendD. she was pulled down by her friend10.When Sarah’s mother saw her in the ward, her mother felt_________.A. upsetB. puzzledC. relaxedD. disappointed11.Which of the following can be used to describe Sarah’s story?A.

第I卷（选择题，共70分）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节：(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

AHidden from the noise of Washington, D.C., Hillwood Museum is a special treasure. It contains (包含) one of the finest personal collections (收藏) of Russian and French art in the world.Hillwood Museum was once the home of Marjorie Merriweather Post. She was a rich businesswoman. She owned one of the largest food companies in the United States. She was also very interested in collecting beautiful French art and furniture.She moved to Russia in the 1930s as her third husband, Joseph Davies, became the American ambassador (大使) in Moscow. Marjorie Merriweather Post had a love for Russian art as well. She bought the house in Washington in 1955 and she wanted to make it into a museum after her death. Many art experts helped Mrs. Post create its fine collection.Hillwood has many rooms which are filled with her treasures. Visitors can see beautiful music boxes from the eighteenth century and colorful paintings of European princesses (公主). Experts say the ancient wood and gold furniture from France is some of the finest ever made. Visitors can even look at Mrs. Post’s jewels and clothes.The museum also has several beautiful gardens. One is designed like the gardens in Japan. It has a bridge and visitors can watch flowers floating in the water. Flowers are also grown all the year in a special glass building or greenhouse. These flowers are placed in the house throughout the year.After a walk, visitors can rest at a nearby eating place. They can also buy objects to remember this special museum.1. From the second paragraph, we can learn that Marjorie Merriweather Post .A. lived near Hillwood MuseumB. owned a food company in FranceC. was a successful businesswomanD. was good at painting and designing2. Marjorie Merriweather Post moved to Russia because .A. she liked the environment thereB. her husband had a job thereC. she wanted to collect art worksD. she hoped to meet some art experts3. Which of the following treasures is NOT mentioned in the text?A. Paintings of Japanese princesses.B. Mrs. Post’s jewels and clothes.C. Ancient wood and gold furniture.D. Eighteenth century’s music boxes.4. What is special about the museum’s gardens?A. There are some rock hills.B. They are all built in Japanese style.C. Flowers are grown all the year.D. There are some restaurants.BIn some science-fiction movies, robots refuse to die no matter how people fight back (反击). Now, it has turned into a fact. For the first time, researchers have created a robot that can take a beating (挨打) and keep on working. Developed by scientists from Cornell University and the University of Vermont, the new robot looks like a spider with four legs.Until now, even the most advanced robot was almost certain to break down when damaged. That’s because its computer doesn’t know how to operate the machine af ter its shape has been changed.To solve this problem, the scientists put some sensors (传感器) into the machine. The sensors can read how the machine is working and send signals to the computer.Using this information, the system follows a new way to tell the machine’s shape at any given moment. The computer considers a lot of possible next steps, and it calculates how best to move the robot forward the longest possible distance, before trying to move it again.The new technology is a major advance in robotics (机器人技术), scientists say. It may someday help researchers create better artificial arms and legs that give new freedom to people who lack them. The new knowledge might also help scientists understand how people and animals tell their own sense of place in space.“Designing robots that can fit changing environments has been a difficult problem,” says scientist Olaf Sporns of Indiana University. “This work provides a new way toward solving this important problem.”5. Why do robots easily break down when they are damaged?A. They cannot repair themselves.B. The computer has changed a lot.C. They have nothing special to protect them.D. The computer cannot operate a changed robot.6. How do the sensors in the robot work?A. They can replace the computer when it’s broken.B. They can find out where the damage comes from.C. They help the computer learn the robot’s condition.D. They can send signals to the person who uses the robot.7. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refers to “”.A. robotsB. arms and legsC. sensorsD. researchers8. What does Olaf Sporns think of the new robot?A. He does not express his opinions clearly.B. He doubts if it can work well in real life.C. He thinks it is a great development in robotics.D. He thinks more experiments are needed to test it.CIt is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers (生产商) follow certain uniform standards for various features (特征) of clothes. What seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men’sclothes tend to button from the right, and women’s from the left. Considering most of the world’s population—men and women—are right-handed, the men’s standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do women’s clothes button from the left?History really seems to matter here. Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having women’s shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand, having men’s shirts button from the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning from the left is still the standard f0r them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once set, resists change. At a time when all Women’s shirts buttoned from the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women’s shirts that buttoned from the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men’s shirts.9. What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?A. It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years.B. It is Afferent for men’s clothing and women’s.C. It works better with men than with women.D. It fails to consider right-handed people.10. What do we know about the rich men in the 17th century?A. They tended to wear clothes without buttons.B. They were interested in historical matters.C. They were mostly dressed by servants.D. They drew their swords from the left.11. Women’s clothes still button from the left today because .A. adopting men’s style is improper for women.B. manufacturers should follow standards.C. modern women dress themselves.D. customs are hard to change.12. The passage is mainly developed by .A. analyzing causesB. making comparisonsC. examining differencesD. following the time orderDWhen I looked at the grade on my math paper my jaw (下巴) almost dropped to the ground: a big “65” in bright red ink. I had never received such a terrible grade before.I was so ashamed that when I got home that afternoon I lied to my dad. I told him I got 85 and that the report wouldn’t come until the end of the month. Dad smiled. His daughter would never lie about her grade, so he didn’t doubt the unusual delay (延迟) of my report.A month later, Dad casually (随意地) asked me again about the report at the dinner table. He looked right into my eyes and asked for an answer. Having no choice. I told him that I had in fact got just 65 in my math final. I had lied because I didn’t want to let him down.For a moment, he just looked at me. I would have preferred a telling off (斥责) than that silence. Finally, Dad said, m a hurt voice, “You have already let me down, with your lie. I am not disappointed at your math score. That is no big deal-on one can be perfect all the time. But I am very disappointed in you. If you can’t be honest with your dad. who can you be honest with? It’s much easier to achieve a better grade than rebuild someone else’s trust in you.”Dad’s words touched my heart. I couldn’t forgive (原谅) myself for having hurt his feelings I took out the report that I had been hiding for weeks, handed to him and apologized, sincerely I realized that my honesty is not only important to me personally, but to those around me that truly care .about my well-being (幸福).In one of Shakespeare’s plays a character says: “No legacy (遗产) is so rich as honesty.” After the crisis between Dad and me, I began to understand those words.13. The first paragraph may suggest that the author .A. was punished by her father for a bad gradeB. never expected teachers to give her bad gradesC. usually got a higher gradeD. was bad at math14. Why did her father stay silent after his daughter told him that she had lied?A. He didn’t understand what his daughter had said.B. He was angry that his daughter lied to him again.C. He was unhappy with his daughter’s bad score.D. He was hurt that his daughter had lied to him.15. The purpose of the article is to tell us that .A. dishonesty may work sometimes, but there is a price to pay.B. sometimes a tie can make things easier.C. we should study hard to make our parents happy.D. we should accept the fact that we are not perfect.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。

第I卷（选择题，共70分）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节： (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

ADuring the school year many parents take on the role of driver as they drive their children from one lesson to another. Understandably so. Many of us want our children to have a little taste of everything, from organized sports to music, dance and more. But we can overdo it, leaving our children feeling a little burnt out, and according to parent educator Diane Loisie, it’s their school work which suffers the most. “After school, if they are busy in a number of sporting events, besides, they need to do their homework, then the time they will feel sleepy is in the classroom. Your child needs free time. So if you are filling up that after school time, then it is during the day they are going to be having a break.”Professor Claire McDermott agrees that there is a lot to be gained from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and activities away. “Relaxing time is important for children. It’s time just to do the things they want to do. A child can go up to their room, or they can play around. It doesn’t look like productive time; parents certainly wouldn’tbe saying “Wow, are they ever leaning things now?” But this relaxing time gives both the body and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day. It helps a child prepare for sleep, but it also helps to under stand the learning that’s gone on that day.”It’s hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons. After all, many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in the great activities in the arts or sports is a part of that. However, Loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity to master them. “ When we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to e xperience everything, then what we’re doing is setting them up not be good at one thing or gaining a skill”. So choose your children’s activities wisely. It may be one of the best things you’ve ever done for your kids…and for the family drivers!1. What is the biggest disadvantage for children to attend too many lessons after school?A. They can get bored easily about everything.B. They might have no time to do the homework.C. They might not pay much attention to learning.D. They cannot easily focus on learning during the day.2. What should we think of children’s playing around aimlessly?A. It is productiveB. It is helpfulC. It is a bad habit.D. It is a waste of time3.Why should parents limit the activities our children attend?A. Because children have no time.B. Because children cannot learn many thingsC. Because children do not have enough sleep.D. Because children cannot focus on too many activities.4. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Don’t be children’s driver after schoolB. Choose activities for your children wisely.C. Make your children learn as much as possibleD. Let children learn something from various subjects.B5.If you take the job as a nature guide in Peru, you have to .A. work more than sixteen hours every dayB. accompany tourists in the jungleC. lead forest walks all the timeD. have some sporting skills6. To work in the Italian hotel-restaurant, you must .A. speak Italian fluentlyB. work all year roundC. be flexible and diligentD. have vocational training first7. According to the advertisement, as a volunteer teacher in Nepal, you .A. have to pay for your food and bedB. may give lessons in sports or the artsC. will teach both children and adultsD. should take care of students afterclass8. In which section of the classified ads can you find all the above information?A. Entertainment.B. Education.C. Job Vacancy.D. Travel.CGlobal Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday driving in many countries. These satellite-based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go. But, they can also cause a lot of problems, send you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost. Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, says Barry Brown, it is a combination of the two.We spoke to Mr. Brown by Skype. He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed aGPS-equipped car to use during his stay. Barry Brown: “ And they just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination. And, then it wasn’t until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in. So again, the GPS is kind of ‘garbage in garbage out’.”Mr. Brown says this is a common human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse has something to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment. Barry Brown: “One problem with a lot of the GPS units is that they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn. Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it isgoing to the wrong place.”Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the University of California, San Diego. While there, he worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University ofEdinburgh. The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on Driving by placing cameras in people’s cars. They wrote a paper based on their research. It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS.” It lists several area s where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given.Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better, we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together.9. In Para. 2, Mr. Brown mentioned his friend in the conversation to ______.A. laugh at his stupid friendB. describe an example of human errorC. build up his own reputationD. prove the GPS system is only garbage10. Which of the following statement would Barry Brown be most likely to agree with?A. GPS units are to blame for the most GPS service failure.B. We should introduce higher standard for the driving licenseC. Cameras are urgently needed to help improve GPS systems.D. Some shortcomings of GPS equipment are more likely to result in service failure.11. According to Barry and Eric, which of the following is NOT among the areas of GPS systems that may confuse drivers?A. Wrong maps.B. Out-dated maps.C. Difficult instructions.D. Timing of GPS commands.12. What would be the best title for the text?A. Driving with GPS Can Be Difficult.B. Driving Confusions Can Be Caused By Small Screen.C. Driving without GPS Should Be Much More Convenient.D. GPS Equipment In Driving: To Be Deserted Or Improved.DYou might notice something new in the next few years as you watch Disney programs: Starting in 2015, there won’t be any candy, sugary cereal or fa st-food commercials (广告) aimed at kids.The Walt Disney Company has become the first major media company to ban ads for junk food on its TV channels, radio stations and websites. It hopes this will stop kids from making poor food choices. First Lady Mich elle Obama called it a “game changer” that is sure to send a message to the rest of the children’s entertainment industry. “Just a few years ago, if you had told me or any other mom or dad in America that our kids wouldn’t see a single ad for junk food whi le they watched their favorite cartoons on a major TV network, we wouldn’t have believed you, ” said the First Lady, who heads a campaign to help stop child obesity (肥胖).The ban would apply to Disney-owned ABC stations as well as Radio Disney and Disney-owned websites aimed at families with young children. In addition, Disney plans to make changes to its kids’ menus at theme parks and resorts (度假胜地). Fast-food options will be replaced with healthier choices, such as smoothies (果汁), apples, vegetables and yogurt.In addition to candy bars and fast-food meals, other foods that don’t meet Disney’s nutritional standards will be banned from the company’s kid-targeted media. Any cereal with 10 grams or more of sugar per serving will be off the air. There will be no ads for full meals of more than 600 calories. Juices with high levels of sugar and foods with too much salt will also be pulled.Leslie Goodman, Disney’s senior vice-president of Corporate Citizenship, said a company that wants to advertise will need to show that it offers a range of healthy options.Disney isn’t the only one pushing away unhealthy foods. Last week, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg suggested a ban on drinks over 16 ounces sold in movie theaters, restaurants and convenience stores in the Big Apple. He says large, sugary drinks are partly to blame for obesity.13. What will the Walt Disney Company do from 2015?A. Produce more and better cartoons for young kids.B. Help kids develop healthy lifestyle in the program.C. Stop broadcasting advertisements for junk food on TV.D. Provide healthier food for kids while they are watching programs.14. What Michelle Obama said suggests that while watching cartoons, _______.A. kids didn’t believe what the commercials saidB. kids enjoy eating candy, sugary cereal or junk foodC. kids find pleasure in watching fast-food commercialsD. kids were to see a lot of fast-food commercials on TV15. According to Michael Bloomberg, to fight child obesity, kids should _______.A. watch fewer cartoonsB. drink less sugary drinksC. not go to movie theatersD. take more physical exercise第二节七选五（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。

内蒙古北京八中乌兰察布分校2016-2017学年高一下学期期中考试试题第一部分：阅读理解（本大题共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

Passage OneFew kids today are taught the value of empathy (同感；同情心). It seems so hard for people to show their love and care toward others and to actually understand what they are going through.As a child I was taught to go out of my way to make someone else happy. My mom would tell me to say at least one kind word to someone else every day. I admit that it wasn‟t very easy to do. But as soon as you see the look of gratitude (感激) in that person‟s eyes, you just want to do as much as you can.I had an experience with a guy that people were always making fun of. Every time I saw that happening, I knew in my heart that it was wrong. I decided I would try to be his friend. I started walking with him and introducing him to people around us. I was making him happy by just doing that. And I loved the fact that I was really making a difference in his life.After a while I realized that he wasn‟t the kind of person everybody thought he was. We are still really good friends today. People have almost completely stopped making fun of him. But he is still what he was. What had changed was the attitudes of others toward him.From this experience I‟ve learned to be more loving toward other people. What I did for my friend was so easy. And at the same time I had a lot of fun. So I hope that everyone could say a kind word to someone else at least once a day.I can promise it will be the best feeling you can ever get.One kind word could make someone‟s day brighter.1．We can learn from the fourth paragraph that .A. one‟s attitude to others can be changedB. one‟s nature can be changed as time goes byC. everyone can have a good friendshipD. people shouldn‟t make fun of others2．The last two paragraphs suggest that _______.A. saying a kind word will give you friendship and funB. it is really a hard thing to say a kind word to othersC. having a lot of fun in life will help to make a good lifeD. a kind word may benefit both the speaker and the listener3．What does the writer focus on in this passage?A. Understanding.B. Friendship.C. Kindness.D. Fun.Passage TwoHousework is a frequent source of disputes (争论) between lazy husbands and their hard-working wives, but women have been warned not to expect men to pull their weight any time soon.A study from Oxford University has found that men are unlikely to be doing an equal share of housework before 2050. Mothers, the researchers warned, will continue to shoulder the burden of childcare and housework for the next four decades, largely because housework such as cleaning and cooking is still regarded as “women‟s work”.The gap between the amount of time men and women spend on housework has narrowed slowly over the past 40 years. But it will take another four decades before true housework equality (平等) is achieved, the study concluded.The research found that in the Nordic countries, the burden of housework is shared more equally between men and women. In the UK, women spend an average of four hours and forty minutes each day on housework, compared with two hours and twenty-eight minutes for men. This is an improvement from the 1960s, when British women typically spent six hours a day on housework, while men spent just 90 minutes every day.But progress towards housework equality appears to be slowing in some countries. Dr Oriel Sullivan, a research reader from Oxford‟s Department of Sociology, said, “we‟ve looked at what is affecting the equality in the home, and we have found that certain tasks seem to be given according to whether they are viewed as …men‟s work‟ or …women‟s work‟.”Dr Sullivan said cultural attitudes taught at school may be responsible for the views of housework. “At school it is much easier for a girl to be a tomboy, but it is much more difficult fora boy to enjoy baking and dancing,” she said.4．The underlined part “pull their weight” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to “ __________ “.A. lose weightB. be lazyC. earn moneyD. do equal housework5．Women will continue to do more housework before 2050 mainly because _________ .A. men are too busy to helpB. they would like to do soC. they can do better in houseworkD. housework will still be considered as women‟s work6．From Paragraph 4 we know that in the UK ___________ .A. men now spend just 90 minutes a day on housework on averageB. women now are too busy with their work to do houseworkC. women now spend less time on housework than beforeD. housework is shared equally between men and women7．In D r Sullivan‟s opinion, what is to blame for the housework inequality?A. Cultural attitudes towards housework.B. Policies made by the government.C. The time spent on work.D. The type of housework.Passage ThreeThe Canadian red and white maple leaf (枫叶) flag is officially called the National Flag of Canada. The Canadian flag shows a stylized red maple leaf with 11 points on a white background, with red borders down each side. The Canadian flag is twice as long as it is wide. The white square containing the red maple leaf is the same width as the flag.The red and the white used in the National Flag of Canada were proclaimed the official colors of Canada in 1921 by King George Ⅴ. Although the maple leaf did not have its official status as a symbol of Canada until the announcement (宣告) of the national flag in 1965, it had historically been used as a Canadian symbol, and was used in 1860 in decorations for the visit of the Prince of Wales to Canada. The 11 points on the maple leaf have no special significance.In the early days，the Royal Union Flag，or the Union Jack, was still flown in British NorthAmerica. In 1925 and again in 1946, the Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie King tried to get a national flag of Canada adopted, but failed. In 1964，Prime Minister Lester Pearson appointed a 15-member, all-party committee to come up with a design for a new flag. The committee was given six weeks to complete its task.The committee studied 2,000 submitted(提交的) designs as well as 3,900 that had been gathered as a result of the 1946 committee's study. Those designs with a chance of being accepted were given to the full committee for further study.The suggestion of a red and white single maple leaf design for the Canadian flag came from George Stanley, a professor at the Royal Military College. After a heated discussion, they finally decided on his suggestion.8．How many colors are there in the National Flag of Canada?A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.9．When did Canada have its own national flag?A．In 1921. B．In 1860. C．In 1964. D．In 1965.10．What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to?A. The officials of the government.B. The professors from the Royal Military College.C. The members of the 1946 committee.D. The members of the 1964 committee.11．The passage is mainly about ________.A. the designer of the National Flag of CanadaB. the history of the National Flag of CanadaC. the meaning of the National Flag of CanadaD. why the red and white single maple leaf was chosen as the design for the National Flag of CanadaPassage FourWe can achieve knowledge either actively or passively. We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers ormagazines is pas sive. Conditioned as we are to passive learning, it‟s not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers.Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay(传闻) and rumor.Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn‟t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. Typically, the original message has changed.That‟s what happ ens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know.This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be restated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.12．According to the passage, active learning may occur in ________.A. reading scientific journalsB. listening to the teacher in classC. doing a chemical experimentD. watching news programmes on TV13．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Classroom.B. Newspapers.C. Active learning.D. Passive learning.14. The game Rumor is mentioned in Paragraph 4 in order to tell readers that ________.A. playing games can make people more activeB. people tend to like telling lies when playing gamesC. a message may be changed when being passed onD. people may have problems with their sense of hearing15．What can be inferred from the text?A. Scholars and authors can‟t be trusted.B. Passive learning may not be reliable.C. People like spreading rumors in daily life.D. Active learning is more Important than passive learning.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。

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Standing desks have become common across Silicon Valley, offering health benefits to those willing to work on their feet. However, due to their high price, they have failed to catch on until now. Recently, Ikea has brought out Bekant convertible(可变换的) standing desk that can become a normal desk at the touch of a button. The $500 adjustable desk can transform from a standard desk to a standing one, and Ikea hopes it could make the standing desk mainstream.Experts say that changing from a seated to a standing desk can improve productivity. Similar desks have become a common sight at tech firms such as Google, where some employees have even installed treadmill (跑步机) and bicycle desks.The desk is not the first "convertible" on the market. As early as 2013, Stir Kinect brought out an adjustable desk. The $3,890 Stir Kinect desk has a motor to raise and lower itself, changing it into a standing desk or a traditional desk. The desk can even be programmed to move up and down slightly, making it appear to take a gentle breath to remind the user to change their positions. To move between sitting and standing positions, owners simply double tap on the screen. The desk can learn the user's preferences over time and suggest the best seating position. The Stir Kinect desk was created by a team of ex-Apple and Disney engineers. It has a built-in touch screen to control and track movement, and can tell users exactly how many calories they burn by standing during their working day. It also has devices containing power points and USB ports for charging phones, to keep cables hidden."Ikea's height-adjustable desk is great for opening up the lower end of the market, " said JP Labrosse, founder and CEO of Stir.（1）What is the text mainly about?A. Ikea has brought out an adjustable standing desk.B. Silicon Valley offered health benefits to officials.C. Google formed their tech firms to design bicycle desks.D. The Stir Kinect desk will become mainstream in the market.（2）Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. Before Bekant desk, similar adjustable desks have been widely used.B. The seated desks will take the place of the standing desks in the future.C. Compared to the Stir Kinect desk, the Bekant desk is much cheaper.D. The adjustable desks were designed by the Apple and Disney Company.（3）The Stir Kinect desk______.A. can breathe in and breathe out by pressing the button onceB. can charge phones by using a device containing power pointC. can tell you how many calories you need for a walkD. can advise you to do more exercise at a proper time（4）What can we infer from the last sentence given by JP Labrosse?A. Ikea's adjustable desk will be popular with average people.B. Ikea will have to sell furniture at a lower price in the future.C. This height adjustable table can only be found in Ikea.D. It is not necessary for Ikea to open up the market at all.【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）B（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，站立式办公桌在美国硅谷已经比较常见，宜家近日推出了一款名为BEKANT的可调节的站立式办公桌，这种桌子对愿意站立式工作的人健康有益。

Chicago is one of my favourite cities,too,so the thought struck me again last fall to ride the train to Chicago.Of course,flying would have been faster.But I don’t think flying is easier,especially these days, with all the security and waiting in lines at airports.Though we were tired in the middle of the night,the kids got on the train with the exhilaration of this adventure.“We’re moving,”my son William shouted happily with big eyes as the train began to pull away from the Hutchinson station.I removed my shoes and lay down to try to finish my night’s sleep.The sleeper car would have better enabled that,but the ordinary train seats were not too bad.An airline flight is a harder experience for me：not enough room,two hours of pain with my knees almost touching my mouth.On the train I could almost outstretch all of my6-foot-2-plus body in the generous legroom.The journey didn’t feel at all as long as it was.We all found the train ride a joy.The car ride would have felt every minute of13hours.But on the train you are free to walk around,sit in the observation carriage for a while and enjoy the scenery out the windows,have a nice meal in the dining car,read a book,or play a board game.In short,the train is all about enjoying the trip,which isn’t something I do so much when travelling by airline or by car,when the trip seems more of a mission(任务)to get there than an experience to enjoy along the way.Chicago offers much to do for a family.This time,getting there was half the fun.4.We can learn from the first paragraph that_____.A.the kids love the train journeyB.it was the first time that the kids had taken the trainC.the author didn’t enjoy the long train journeyD.Chicago is one of the kids’favourite cities5.What does the underlined word“exhilaration”in Paragraph2probably mean?A.Tiredness.B.Relaxation.C.Excitement.D.Worry.6.In the third paragraph,an airline flight experience is mentioned to show________A.a train ride is more comfortableB.a train ride is too longC.an airline flight is miserableD.an airline flight is easier7.Which of the following words best describes the whole family’s feeling about the train journey?A.Moved.B.Nervous.C.Disappointed.D.Delighted.CIt was the first day of second grade,and Sarah had been looking forward to this moment.The night before,she laid out her favorite clothes:a white coat and a bright yellow shirt.When having breakfast,Sarah dropped some food on her shirt,so she had to change into her second-best clothes,blue jeans and a Jonas Brothers T-shirt.After breakfast Sarah rushed to catch the school bus and when she was just reaching the door,the bus driver opened it.The door hit right in Sarah’s face and blood dripped from her nose.The driver wanted to send her home,but she refused,“It is the most important day of the year!I can’t miss it！”Before classes,Sarah went to her favorite swing.When rising high,she saw her best friend little Jack.She let go of the swing and waved to him with one hand.Unfortunately,she flew out of the swing and landed hard on the sand,breaking a leg and an arm.As she lay in the sand,she noticed a shiny thing on the ground beside her.With her good hand she took it.When Sarah’s mother rushed into the ward,she was surprised by what she saw:her girl was lying in bed with an arm and a leg in the splint(夹板),a broken nose,and blood stains on her second-best clothes. Expecting to see her child crying,she was confused when she saw a big,bright smile on Sarah’s face.“Sarah,look at you!”her mother cried.“You were hurt so badly and why are you smiling？”“Look,Mommy,I found a diamond！”Sarah laughed.Life can be like that.It can be tough,even painful sometimes.But there are always treasures that make the pain worth suffering.8.When Sarah went to school，she was wearing__________.A.a white coat and a Jonas Brothers T-shirtB.blue jeans and a yellow shirtC.a white coat and a yellow shirtD.blue jeans and a Jonas Brothers T-shirt9.Sarah fell off the swing because__________.A.she seldom played on the swingB.she rose too highC.she waved one hand to her friendD.she was pulled down by her friend10.When Sarah’s mother saw her in the ward,her mother felt_________.A.upsetB.puzzledC.relaxedD.disappointed11.Which of the following can be used to describe Sarah’s story?A.Every cloud has a silver lining.B.Nothing is impossible to a willing mind.C.First think,then act.D.No pains,no gainsDThe most popular of the amusement parks in Canada is Paramount Canada’s Wonderland.This park frequently gets the most visitors of any seasonal park in North America.One reason is its numbers of wild rides.For younger kids,the television characters are very exciting.You can see Fred Flinstone，SpongeBob SquarePants or Dora the Explorer.There are often rides starring these characters that are more popular among younger children.There are plenty of fantastic shows for families to watch as well.What’s more,the admission to the park includes the nearby Splash Works.Another popular theme park is Galaxyland Amusement Park.Amusement park’s fun shouldn’t be limited to just the summer months,and Galaxyland is aware of this.As the world’s largest indoor amusement park,Galaxyland packs in it25breathtaking rides and attractions.It is also home to one of the world’s largest indoor roller coasters.Galaxyland remains one of the most popular theme parks in Canada for older children because of attractions like the Rock’N’Ride Dance Party.This party combines music，music videos and unlimited rides from8pm to midnight.One of the most visited amusement parks in Canada on the west coast is Playland.Playland,unlike other Canadian theme parks,has a long history in its city.Playland has all the fun of a carnival,with scary houses,merry-go-rounds(旋转木马)and a ferris wheel.There are also modern additions in the park,like a climbing wall for kids and a video game room.Playland is open from spring through fall,though only on weekends and holidays before June18and after September1st.12.Which of the following is TRUE about Paramount Canada’s Wonderland?A.It is the largest seasonal park in Canada.B.It offers many interesting shows to visitors.C.Its rides star many characters popular among adults.D.It has the biggest number of visitors of all the Canadian parks.13.What makes Playland different from other Canadian theme parks?A.Its large indoor roller coaster.B.Its video game room.C.Its location.D.Its long history.14.What do these three popular theme parks have in common?A.They all have attractions for children.B.They all open throughout the year.C.They all have parties at night.D.They are all outdoor parks.15.The text is mainly intended to_______________.A.encourage people to travel in Canadapare different theme parks in CanadaC.introduce some popular Canadian theme parksD.offer some tips on visiting theme parks in Canada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。

Hiking in the mountains．B. Fishing in the country．C. Watching plants at night．D. Swimming in the sea．BHalloween is one of the few times of year when we're encouraged to play with our food． But why do we carve（雕刻） pumpkins for Halloween? Well, it all starts with the legend of Stingy Jack, which dates back to the 17th century．According to the legend, a drunken man known as Stingy Jack asked the devil （魔鬼） to have a drink, an offer that was accepted．After the two knocked back a few, the bill came, but neither wanted to pick up the tab．Jack suggested the devil turn into a coin, to which the devil agreed. Jack pocketed the coin instead beside a cross, trapping the devil in his pocket．He only agreed to free the devil under the condition that Jack wouldn't be bothered for a year．One year Later, Jack again tricked the devil into climbing an apple tree for a piece of fruit， trapping the devil in its branches by carving a cross in the tree trunk．Jack only let the devil come down if the devil gave its word that it wouldn't take Jack to hell．When Jack finally died, he was unwelcome in heaven, but he was also refused a place in hell．Instead, the devil gave him a turnip（萝卜）-the pumpkin is native to North America -with a piece of burning coal inside to light the way as Jack wandered in darkness．In order to discourage the wandering spirit of Stingy Jack from visiting their homes，the Irish carved lanterns to scare him off．When scores of Irish came to the United States at the beginning of the 19th century, they brought with them the tradition of carving pumpkins．Pumpkin carving has changed from a simple holiday tradition to a competitive art form, as every year increasingly more complex designs came out around Halloween．4.What does the underlined phrase "pick up the tab" in the second paragraph mean？______A. Pay the bill．B. Have a talk．C. Eat something．D. Take another drink．5.What did the devil do in order to get down from the apple tree？ ______A. It changed itself into a coin．B. It jumped into Jack's pocket．C. It promised not to take Jack to hell．D. It promised it wouldn't bother Jack for a year．6.The Irish carved lanterns with the purpose of ______ ．A. encouraging Stingy JackB. guiding Stingy Jack's wayC. driving Stingy Jack's spirit awayD. welcoming Stingy Jack to their homes7.What does the passage mainly talk about？ ______A. The origin of Halloween．B. The legend of Stingy Jack．C. The tradition of playing with food．D. The origin of Halloween pumpkin carving．COrganic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is increasingly popular nowadays． Consumers have been willing to pay up to twice as much for goods with organic labels （标签）．However, if you think paying a little more for organic food gets you a more nutritious and safer product, then you'd better save your money．A study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organic products aren't necessarily more nutritious, and they're no less likely to suffer from disease-causing bacteria, either．For their new study, Smith-Spangler and her colleagues conducted a review of two categories（种类）of research, including 17 studies that compared health outcomes between consumers of organic against traditional food products, and 223 studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods, including key vitamins, minerals and fats．While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content, they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces．Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards．And both organic and traditional meats, such as chicken and pork, were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates．The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease．However, these nutritional differences were too small, and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends．Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growing practices, but that doesn't always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product. The U． S． Department of Agriculture （USDA） states that "whether you buy organic or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste．" Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic．8.What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean？ ______A. Organic food helps you save money．B. Organic food contains much more nutrients．C. Organic food is worth the high price．D. Organic food is not always nutritious．9.Smith-Spangler and her colleagues found that ______ ．A. organic food could reduce the risk of heart diseaseB. traditional food was grown with more natural methodsC. both organic and traditional food they examined were safeD. there was not a presence of any forms of bacteria in organic food10. Which of the following is relatively healthier according to the passage?A. Organic chicken and porkB. Organic milk and chickenC. Traditional chicken and porkD. Traditional fruit and vegetables11. What is the author's attitude toward organic food？ ______A. DoubtfulB. UnconcernedC. PositiveD. SupportiveDFifteen years ago，I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy．After climbing up a hill for a panoramic（全景的） view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama．Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view．Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view．Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated．Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her，but something prevented me from doing so．She seemed so content in her observation．I didn't want to mess with that．Another 15minutes passed and I grew bored．The woman was still there．I decided totake the photo anyway．And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting．The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it．This photo，with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who "ruined" it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom．What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured（捕捉） and frozen on some stranger's bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don't even know has been immortalized （使…永存）．In some ways, she lives in my house．Perhaps we all live in each others' space．Perhaps this is what photos are for：to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us．That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass．12.
