高中英语真题:2014-2015学年高二英语下学期第八次周练试题新人教版第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AIt all started off with five. It was raining, and my dad told me th at I had to make five free throws (投球) one after another without a break before I could go home.I was ten years old at that time. So I shot (投球) until I indeed made five free throws. Pretty soon the numb er of free throws increased until I got to high school and I had to make seventy-five before I could leave the gym.I used to get mad when I reached the required amount and I would miss the next one, but my dad made me start over, sayi ng that I missed it on purpose. So in high school I would usual ly get to 120 before I stopped. My highest ever was 175. I nev er expected this would ever bring me some benefit, but one g ame really changed my idea.Our school team was playing basketball match with Royal Hig h School, and we lost the game by twenty points a week earlier, so this game was all about revenge (报仇). With two minutes left in the game, my team was up by six and their coach told them to foul (犯规). Our coach immediately put forward a perfect plan — givin g the ball to me every time. And every time my teammates ga ve me the ball, the other team would foul me. Then I went to t he free throw line and made two free throws successfully. I en ded up going ten-for-ten that game all in the last two minutes. The final score was 57-50 and we won.1. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that .A. the author’s father was very strict with himB. the author’s father wanted him to create a recordC. the author had to make five free throws every dayD. the author could make 75 free throws at the age of 102. How many times was the author fouled?A. Ten.B. Seven.C. Six.D. Five.3. What can we learn from the text?A. The author could make fifty free throws within two minutes.B. The author’s hard work brought a good result in the game.C. The author’s coach didn’t know the author had the talent.D. team was stronger than the author’s team.BHaving attended a first-aid-at-work course, Brian Cracknell soon found himself responding t o two emergencies in a week.Brian was at work in his bus company office in Weston-super-Mare on May 18 when a colleague called to say there had be en an accident at a bus stop nearby. He ran to the scene with his first aid kit and found an old lady sitting at the bus stop. W hen boarding (上车) the bus, the old lady painfully hurt her left leg, which was b leeding.He introduced himself, and asked some basic first aid questio ns to get a general picture of her health. Then he put his jacke t on the floor, using the lady’s coat as a pillow, and gently laid her down so he could raise her legs and apply some bandage s. said, “At first I was a bit worried about remembering to do all the right things. I made sure she was as comfortable as po ssible.” When he had nearly finished, he told the lady that she was his first one. The lady said he was doing a great job. Just a week later, Brian got a second call-out to help another lady at a bus stop.Having used his new skills twice within a short time, Brian has decided to sign up as a Red Cross first aid volunteer. As he s aid, “I just thought: what’s the point in having this knowledge if I’m not going to use it? It felt really good to help those people . I was so proud of myself afterwards, so I’m going to join the Red Cross.”4. Before helping the old lady, Brian .A. had given first aid on many peopleB. was thought to be a skilled first aid volunteerC. knew nothing about how to handle an emergencyD. had learnt first aid skills but hadn’t put them into pract ice5. What was wrong with the old lady when Brian arrived?A. Her legs were bleeding after being injured.B. Her left leg was injured and was bleeding.C. She fell onto the ground and hurt her head.D. She was knocked down by a bus and lost her legs.6. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?A. The reason why Brian was asked to help.B. Brian handled two emergencies in a week.C.

After using his first aid skills twice, Brian .A. was discouraged and decided to give upB. realized he still had a lot of things to learnC. decided to give up his job for the Red CrossD. decided to help more people with his first aid skillsCA Japanese company has ordered all of its 2,700 employees t o get identical (一模一样的) hairstyles. For men, the preferred cut is short on the sides and back butlonger on top. For women, the company prefers a bob with a longer fringe (刘海) that can be swept to one side. This unusual request is its effort to help the country save energy.The spokeswoman for the Tokyo-based construction firm Maeda Corporation Chizuru Inoue ex plained, “Our company is eager to protect the environment an d we encourage our staff to carry out many environment-friendly actions.”She added, “We are not sure of the data yet, but we believe ifpeople have short hair, they do not need to use their hair drier s for so long and they will use less water. If all our employees do this, then we may save a lot of power.” Some staff are conf used about which style they must have and have been asking which salons (美容院) give the best cut.The energy-saving move is part of a national campaign to reduce energy consumption (消耗) following the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Japan has been struggling to produce enough electricity since the tsunami en ded production at the plants. The disaster resulted in a revie w of the country’s energy policy that now means less than a q uarter of its remaining nuclear plants are in use. The governm ent has talked about a move away from nuclear energy towar ds more sustainable (能持续的) technologies. Many government departments have taken measures to save power, including a reduced use of air condit ioning in offices and schools. Many employees cannot turn do wn the air conditioner below 27 degrees in the hottest summe r months.8. The company gave the order of hairstyles to .A. keep the company offices cleanB. show a good image of the businessC. make the staff look tidy and prettyD. help reduce energy consumption9. After the Fukushima nuclear disaster, .A. is building more nuclear plantsB. has to rethink its energy policyC. limits people’s daily energy useD. decides to close old nuclear plants10. It can be inferred from the text that .A. nuclear power forms 1/4 of ’s energyB. nuclear plants will soon disappear inC. the company is not alone in saving energyD. other companies have copied the “hairstyle order”11. What would be the best title for the text?A. Sustainable power is welcome inB. Nuclear disaster brings bad resultsC. Short hairstyles may help save energyD. is lacking in energyDIt turns out that nodding off (睡觉) in class may not be a bad idea, as a new study has shown that going to sleep shortly after learning new materials is thebest way to remember them.According to US lead author Jessica Payne, a psychologist at the University of Notre Dame in , nodding off after learning so mething new is like “telling” the sleeping brain what to remem ber. Along with colleagues, she studied 207 students who sle pt for at least six hours per night. Students were randomly (随机地) assigned to study something declarative (陈述的) at 9 am or 9 pm, and returned for testing 30 minutes, 12 h ours or 24 hours later.Declarative memory refers to the ability to consciously (有意识地) remember facts and events, and can be divided into mem ory for events and memory for facts about the world. People u se both types of memory every day — remembering where th ey parked today or learning how a colleague prefers to be call ed.At the 12-hour retest, memory was better following a night of sleep com pared to a day of wakefulness (不眠). At the 24-hour retest, with all students having received both a full night of sleep and a full day of wakefulness, students’ memories we re greater when sleep happened shortly after learning rather t han following a full day of wakefulness.“Our study confirms that sleeping directly after learning somet hing new is beneficial for memory. What’s special for this stud y is that we have shown sleep’s influence on declarative mem ory,” Payne said. “Since we found that sleeping soon after lea rning benefited both types of memory, this means that it woul d be a good thing to go over any information you need to rem ember before going to bed. In some sense, you may be telling the sleeping brain what to consolidate (巩固).”12. What’s the main idea of the text?A. How to improve one’s memory is a difficult problem.B. Nodding off after learning something new helps reme mber it.C. Students should nod off in class after they learn new materials.D. The best way to remember new materials is to nod off in class.13. We can learn about the study that .A. Jessica Payne and her colleagues were testedB. 207 students were eager to take the testC. it tested students studying something declarativeD. people’s memory can be divided into two types14. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us .A. students’ memories are the best if they sleep for 12 h ours each dayB. sleeping for 24 hours contributes to improving students’ me moriesC. a full day of wakefulness can make students’ memories im proved greatlyD. students’ memories are better when sleep happens shortly after learning15. What suggestion does Payne give in the last paragraph?A. The more you sleep, the more you remember.B. Go over what you want to remember before going to bed.C. Teachers should allow their students to sleep in class.D. If you want to improve your memory, you should slee p.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。

C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑AIt is true that shyness can be a disadvantage socially for those who suffer from it seriously. I mean real shyness, not somebody who is simply quiet. Quiet people could be shy, but on the other hand, they may just be observing because they are unsure of you or others in your company. They may be capable of being extrovert (性格外向的) and sociable, but on some particular occasions, they are quiet.I have learnt from my experience that those who observe and listen more and talk less can gain a position of strength. This means that even a very shy person, the type who is reluctant to talk in company (在交际场合) , especially new company, can become a strong person in just about anything they choose. Remember, knowledge is power, and a shy introvert (性格内向的人) is in a better position to gain knowledge than an extrovert. Introverted people can give great attention to learning, and as good listeners they can take in an enormous amount from others. Over time, people can come to respect them far more than the extrovert who speaks a lot. Usually about themselves.What does it take, then for a very shy person to be that successful person they have always wanted to be? They may only need one more thing to push themselves on their way. They need to dare themselves to take the leap; and when they do, they will probably find all the knowledge they have gained over the years will help them on their way to the top in their chosen field.36. What does the first paragraph mainly want to tell us?A. A person who is quiet may not be shy.B. A shy person may not be a calm one.C. Quiet people are usually doubtful.D. Shyness is sometimes a bad feature.37. The underlined word “reluctant” in paragraph 2 probably means ________.A. lazyB. carefulC. eagerD. unwilling38. According to the author, introverted people can be successful because theyusually ________.A. have a strong willB. talk less and show off lessC. learn more than extrovertsD. have a good attitude to learning39. It can be learned from the last paragraph that “one more thing” probablyrefers to ________.A. energyB. courageC. quietnessD. knowledgeBYou may have heard the popula r saying, “there are always more fish in the sea”. But as many new studies show, fish populations are changing, and not necessarily for the better.Consider the case of big, predatory (食肉动物) fish. These giants, like sharks and cod (鳕鱼), eat other smaller fish. Big fish are an important part of the marine ecosystem (海洋生态系统) because they keep down the numbers of smaller fish. Without fish that eat other fish, populations of smaller swimmers would increase, eating more plants, and leaving less vegetation for other creatures, including future fish.As fierce as predators can be, they’re no match for fishing technology. Many people love to catch predatory fish like sharks, cod and tuna, and new studies suggest that over-fishing is threatening these creatures near the top of the marine food chain.In one study, Villy Christensen and his colleagues looked at 200 past studies of marine life to learn how fish populations have changed over time. Christensen reported that between 1910 and 1970, the numbers of big predators decreased slowly, and that in 1970 their populations really started to drop. Around that time, fishing ships began using new tools that led to more fish being caught. The numbers have been falling quickly ever since.Reg Watson looked at the problem from the perspective of the fishermen. In the middle of the 20th century, Watson reported, fishing boats didn’t go far from home, and most fish were caught near the shore. That was no longer true by the 1980s. By then, fishing had moved farther from shore, into the open oceans, and was helped by the development of new technologies. But since the 1990s, something has changed. Despite new technologies and more efforts, fishing operations have not continued to develop.Scientists study historical data to understand the present, and this research is needed to forecast the future of fish and fishing. And the forecastdoesn’t look good: large predator fish are becoming harder to find, and soon may disappear.40. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that .A. more big fish are breeding in the oceanB. the fewer smaller fish, the more big fishC. big fish are less important than smaller fishD. the numbers of smaller fish are controlled by big fish41. Why did the number of big predators begin to fall quickly in 1970?A. Fishing ships began using new tools with which they could catch more fish.B. There were fewer smaller fish than before.C. There were more people catching big predators.D. Their environment was being polluted by fishing ships.42. Which of the following would scientists most probably agree with?A. It may soon be difficult to find large predator fish.B. It will cost much more in the future to catch big fish.C. Smaller fish still give the fishing industry a bright future.D. It is tough for researchers to forecast the future of fish.43. What can we conclude from the passage?A. The decrease of the number of smaller fish has changed the marine food chain.B. Big fish have to live in the deep sea to avoid being caught.C. Over-fishing with new technology accounts for the decrease of the number of big fish.D. The decreasing populations of small fish lead to fewer big fish.CParents whose children show a special interest in a sport feel very difficult to make a decision about their children’s careers．Should they allow their children to train to become top sportsmen and sportswomen? For many children it means starting schoolwork at an early age．And going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place. It’s very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day, even at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing．Another problem is of course money, In many countries money for training is available from government for the very best young sportsmen and sportswomen．If this help can not be given, it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child’s development and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment, etc．All can be expensive．Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age．Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed．Professional trainers,however, believe that it is only by training when young that you can reach the top as successful sports person．It is clear that very few people do reach the top, and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training．44．Where can we most probably find this passage?A．An advertisement． B．A diary．C．A newspaper． D．A notice board．45. The underlined phrase “to take a second place ”in the first paragraph means _______.A．to become less important B．to put it at another placeC．to happen again D．to be the most important 46．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A．It’s easy to make a decision when your children want to take up sports．B．Most of the students may become top sports men after a long period of training．C．Early training may damage young muscles．D．It’s not very expensive for parents to support their children’s development in sports．DSome expressions in English can be really puzzling. Have a look at the following to see how it challenges your brainpower.Homeric laughterThe "Homer" in this expression is the Greek poet. People laugh differently. Some laugh silently, while others tend to laugh loudly. "Homeric laughter" refers to laughter of the latter kind. It is at times uncontrollable, and the entire body shakes during the process. This kind of laughter is called Homeric laughter because this is how the gods laughed in Homer's classics.A three-ring circusWhen you refer to a situation as being a three-ring circus, you are saying that it is a situation of complete confusion. There are so many activities taking place all together that they leave you confused or annoyed. The expression comes from the world of entertainment — the circus. The area where the artists perform their acts is called the "ring". In the past, some of the circuses were so grand that they had three acts taking place simultaneously in three different "rings". The audience had to decide which "ring" they wanted to focus on.In the swim (of things)When someone is in the swim of things, the individual is actively participating in the things happening around him, as in "I've been ill, but soon I’ll be back in the swim of thing." In the world of fishing, fishermenuse the word "swim" to refer to the section of the lake/river where fish can be found in plenty. So, if you are a fisherman and wish to catch a lot offish, where would you be? You would be "in the swim".Chickens have come home to roostThe word "roost" refers to the place where birds rest. It could be anything — the branch of a tree, a henhouse, etc. The expression is normally used to mean that the bad things that someone did in the past have come back to bite or upset the individual. In other words, one has to face the consequences of the deeds done in the past. The original form of this 700-year-old expression was "curses are like chickens; they always come home to roost".47. Which of the following can best describe the picture?A. Homeric laughterB. A three-ring circusC. In the swim (of things)D. Chickens have come home to roost48. What does the underlined word "simultaneously'(Paragraph 3) mean?A. At the same time.B. Step by step.C. All of a sudden.D. One after another.49. lf you want to know more about such expressions, which website will you probably visit?A. /sports/China.htmlB. /world/university.htmlC. /culuture/language.htmlD. /entertainment/fashion.html 50. The passage is written to .A. tell readers some old and interesting storiesB. indicate the development of English phrasesC. correct some misunderstandings about wordsD. explain the meanings and origins of some phrases四、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。

限时练习：60min 完成时间：月日天气：作业08 词性转化（名词、动词、形容词、副词）一、词性转换优点英语阅读理解A（2023上·山东临沂·高二统考期中）Plants need phosphorus(磷) to grow. At first, people used organic or natural fertilizer. In1842 English agricultural chemist John Bennet Lawes patented a process for treating phosphorus-rich bones and rocks with acid, making it easier for plants to obtain, and soon the world’s first human -made fertilizer began selling.Later scientists discovered that phosphorus was a bit tricky. The fertilizer Lawes produced contained a form of phosphorus that plants can easily use. But as soon as the phosphorus hit the soil, a large part of it reacted with soil minerals, forming substances that crops can’t access. Some also got locked away in equally unavailable organic forms.So scientists concluded farmers shouldn’t cut back phosphorus. They should use more, especially as they raced to feed the world’s growing populations during the 20th century. In fact, it was once soil scientist Paul Withers’ job to spread the word. As a government farm advisor in the 1980s, he drove a red V olvo station wagon around the winding roads of rural England telling farmersto make sure their crops got plenty of key nutrients. This method, which Withers calls “insurance-based farming”, is still widely used around the world.But is the large amount of unused phosphorus in the soil-so-called legacy (遗漏的) phosphorus actually as difficult to obtain as scientists once thought? English crop scientist Roger Sylvester-Bradley has taken a first common sense step: They stopped adding phosphorus fertilizer to half the barley field to see how the plants would grow. Eight years later, they have only just started to observe the first signs of phosphorus shortage. Barbara Cade-Menun, who oversees similar experiments in Canada, says, “Our production isn’t changing. ”“The plants can use our mistakes from the past,” says Sheida Sattari, whose 2012 analysis found global soils contain enough legacy phosphorus to cut the expected demand for new fertilizer in half by 2050.1．What was the disadvantage of Lawes’fertilizer?A．The cost of producing it was a bit high.B．Too much of it would do harm to plants.C．It could only be partly absorbed by plants.D．It led to the loss of some minerals in the soil.2．What was Withers’ attitude to phosphorus overuse?A．He felt uncertain of it.B．He was in favor of it.C．He was worried about it.D．He showed no interest in it.3．What does paragraph 4 mainly focus on?A．The increasing costs of fertilizer.B．The shortage of phosphorus resources.C．The ineffectiveness of “insurance-based farming ”.D．The phosphorus pollution of the environment.4．What do Sattari’s words mean in the last paragraph?A．Crops can live on legacy phosphorus.B．Phosphorus is a necessity to grow crops.C．Unused phosphorus is causing big trouble.优点英语D．It is wrong to use a large amount of phosphorus.B（2023上·福建泉州·高二福建省德化第一中学校联考阶段练习）If, as the saying goes, you are what you eat, then it stands to reason you also excrete (排泄) what you are. If we follow this logic, it implies that our bodily waste reflects our diet and overall health. For instance, analyzing human excreta can help detect abnormal levels of certain chemicals, which might reveal signs of some diseases.A new study shows that analysis of a city’s wastewater can also provide insights into the health and behavior of its residents. Such surveillance (监测) can be applied to sample all toilet users without knowing their names. It is much cheaper than alternative sampling techniques, and flexible enough to monitor everything from drug use to diet and even mental health.Wastewater surveillance has become an essential tool in over 70 countries for monitoring and managing public health. This innovative approach involves analyzing wastewater samples to detect and track the presence of various viruses, bacteria, and parasites (寄生虫). By monitoring the genetic material of them in wastewater, scientists and public health officials can gain valuable insights into the spread of diseases within communities. This is especially true in poor countries, where alternative means of testing are expensive.It could also be applied to many other areas. For example, the police can adopt the tool to spot criminal behavior. Anything from consuming illegal drugs to handling bomb ingredients could potentially be detected in wastewater.But for wastewater surveillance to fulfill its potential, today’s systems must be transformed into something more stable and organized. In addition, testing bodies should be open about the extent of their capabilities, and exactly how data will be used. They should also consult with the people being monitored. It would be a shame if privacy worries caused support for it to disappear. 5．Why does the author mention the example in Paragraph 1?A．To reveal some signs of physical illness.B．To introduce a method to detect diseases.C．To explain the importance of diet to health.D．To illustrate the value of studying bodily waste.6．What is an advantage of wastewater surveillance over other sampling techniques?A．It serves more purposes.B．It requires a higher budget.C．It protects residents’ privacy.D．It is more difficult to sample.7．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The development of wastewater surveillance.B．The means of wastewater testing for poor areas.C．The application of wastewater in disease detection.D．The potential of wastewater in identifying criminals.8．What is the author’s attitude towards wastewater surveillance?A．Hopeful.B．Cautious.C．Negative.D．Indifferent.五、七选五·高二桂林中学校联考阶段练习）When meeting someone for the first time,（2023上·广西Here are four more.Ignore the context10 Depending on the context, the same nonverbal signals can take on totally different meanings. People can’t really understand someone’s nonverbal message unless they understand the circumstances behind it. If you yawn in a staff meeting because you were up early for an international business call —let people know why you’re tired.Find meaning in a single gesturePeople often try to evaluate your state of mind by monitoring your body language. But they take more notice of any single sign that indicates you’re in a bad mood and not to be approached.11 So when you are standing with your arms folded for your comfort, others may judge your body language as resistant and unapproachable.Evaluate you through the biases (偏见)A neighbour likes me from the moment we met. Before long. I know it’s because I resemble her favorite aunt. That’s how biases can work —the so-called “halo effect.” But biases can also work against you.

In that case, their original response to you wouldn’t be a good one. 12优点英语Compare your behavior with their cultureMost of culture’s values are absorbed unconsciously at an early age. Such values affect how people think and act, and more importantly, the kind of criteria by which people judge others. 13 For instance, people’s greetings, hand gestures etc. vary with cultures.Therefore, there are many mistakes people make when reading your body language. Under-standing them, and trying not to make the same mistakes, will help you display nonverbal ability.A．Nonverbal signals are very common in our daily life.B．They would even look for your behavior that confirmed this bias.C．What they didn’t realize was that, for this individual, it was a normal behavior.D．In fact, people easily make mistakes reading and reacting to others’ body language.E．What’s proper and correct in one culture may be ineffective or even rude in another.F．Besides, they often assign meaning to negative messages than it does to positive ones.G．Context includes locations, relationships, time, experience, and even room temperature.六、完形填空（2023上·河北邢台·高二宁晋中学校联考阶段练习）Liu Xiaoyu, the Chinese-Canadian ever won first place in the 18th International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw.

This warming will likely benefit some sea species at the expense of others.A study in the May 20 issue of the journal Nature confirmed that there has been a warming trend in the world’s oceans since 1993, as the waters have absorbed much of the extra energy in the planet’s atmosphere.The warming that has already occurred, and is expected to continue in the coming decades, will likely spell bad news for many ocean species, such as corals and species that live in the cold waters of the planet’s poles. But some creatures beneath the ocean surface might actually have an advantage in the newly wanned waters.A 2008 study, for example, said that a warming of just a few degrees Fahrenheit in Antarctic waters could make them suitable to sharks,which haven’t lived in the area for about 40 million years. It’s easier for sharks to keep their high metabolism in warmer waters. If sharks do move into the area,they could cause damage to the existing ecosystems of the oceans around Antarctica.A study of starfish found these typical ocean creatures grew faster in water at warmer temperatures and higher carbon dioxide levels ( another result of all the extra greenhouse gas in the atmosphere) thanat normal conditions—which is bad news for the shellfishes they live on.Work by Jeremy Jackson, a professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California at San Diego, suggests that ocean warming—along with other threats such as overfishing and habitat destruction—could change once complex ocean ecosystems into ones that favor simpler species, such as microbes, toxic algal blooms and jellyfishes.1.How is Paragraph 3 developed?A.By giving examples.B.By analyzing causes.C.By making comparisons.D.By making classifications.2.What can we know about sharks from the fourth paragraph?A.They are native to Antarctic waters.B.They do harm to the whole ecosystem.C.They’re adaptable to warmer water conditions.D.They threaten simpler species in Antarctic waters.3.What will ocean warming likely bring about?A.Promoting the growth of starfish.B.An ecosystem of smaller creatures.C.Different food sources for sea creatures.D.Damaging living places of deep-sea species.4.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To explain why ocean warming benefit some species.B.To introduce how creatures survive in warmer oceans.C.To clarify some misunderstandings about ocean warming.D.To show which creatures will benefit from warmer oceans.7、 The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile labor atory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated(隔绝) and inactive.Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: “For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.”"But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to."Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, "The Drive LAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems."For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. We’re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that."We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”1.What is the purpose of the Drive LAB?A.To explore new means of transport.B.To design new types of cars.C.To find out older driver's problems.D.To teach people traffic rules.2.Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?A.It keeps them independent.B.It helps them save time.C.It builds up their strength.D.It cures their mental illnesses.3.What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?A.Improve their driving skills.B.Develop driver-assist technologles.C.Provide tips on repairing their cars.anize regular physical checkups.4.What is the best title for the text?A.A new Model Electric CarB.A Solution to Traffic ProblemsC.Driving Services for EldersD.Keeping Older Drivers on the Road8、 When I was in fourth grade, I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs. Stanley was one of my customers. She’d watch me coming down her street, and by the time I’d biked up to her doorstep, there’d be a cold drink waiting. I’d sit and drink while she talked. Mrs. Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband, “Mr. Stanley and I went shopping this morning,” she’d say. The first time she said that, soda went up my nose.I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile, and maybe she’d work it out of her system. So that’s what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery (墓地).I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn’t see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed paths at a church fund-raiser. She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy. Four years b efore, she’d had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life went on.I live in the city now, and my paperboy is a lady named Edna with three kids. She asks me how I’m doing. When I don’t say “fine,” she sticks around to hear my problems. She’s lived in the city most of her life, but she knows about community. Community isn’t so much a place as it is a state of mind. You find it whenever people ask how you’re doing because they care, an d not because they’re getting paid to do so. Sometimes it’s good to just smile, nod your head and listen.1.Why did soda go up the author’s nose one time?A.He was talking fast.B.He was shocked.C.He was in a hurry.D.He was absent-minded.2.Why did the author sit and listen to Mrs. Stanley?A.He enjoyed the drink.B.He wanted to be helpful.C.He took the chance to rest.D.He tried to please his dad.3.Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “work it out of her system” in Paragraph 2?A.Recover from her sadness.B.Move out of the neighborhood.C.Turn to her old friends.D.Speak out about her past.4.What does the author think people in a community should do?A.Open up to others.B.Depend on each other.C.Pay for others’ help.D.Care about one another.完形填空9、阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AOne of the latest trend（趋势） in American Childcare is Chinese au pairs. Au Pair in Stamford, for example, has got increasing numbers of request for Chinese au pairs from aero to around 4,000 since 2004. And that’s true all across the country.“I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age” Joseph Stocke, the managing director of s company, says of his 2-year old son. “I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future,” After only six months of being cared by 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China. She didn’t want her children to miss out on their roots.” Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触) the language and culture.” she says.“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom,” says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of Children.” But parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce wonders. Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”The popularity if au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.【小题1】What does that term” au pair” in the text mean?A. A mother raising her children on her ownB. A child learning a foreign language at homeC. A professor in language education of childrenD. A young foreign woman taking care of children.【小题2】Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them ______.A. to live in China some dayB. to speak the language at homeC. to catch up wit other childrenD. to learn about the Chinese culture【小题3】What can we infer from the text?A. Learning Chinese is becoming popular In America,B. Educated woman do better in looking after childrenC. Chinese au pairs need to improve their English Skills.D. Children can learn a foreign language well in six months.BExperts have put forward detailed plans for a tunnel to connect Taiwan with the Chinese mainland.The shortest proposed route would be 126 kilometers more than twice the length of the English Channel Tunnel. And the longest proposed route would be 207 kilometers.A recent conference in Xiamen, Fujian Province brought together more than 70 experts. The event was co-sponsored (共同赞助) by universities from Taiwan and the Chinese mainland.Fujian is the province where both proposed routes would begin. There is direct passenger access between the mainland and Taiwan by air and sea at the moment. Experts say that it is better to start research sooner rather than later, although there is a lack of government funding(资金). There are no technical problems to build a Taiwan tunnel. But it will require an improved political relationship across the Straits （海峡）.A professor of Tsinghua University said, "A special feature of huge projects is that the period of preparation is longer than the period of construction."For example, he said, the English Channel Tunnel took 14 years of planning andhad been discussed for two centuries. And preparations for the huge Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River began in the 1950s.The Xiamen conference focused on the longest southern route, which would pass Jinmen and Penghu.The first stage of the new project could be a bridge to cross the five kilometers between Xiamen and Jinmen. This would mean that travelling from Xiamen to Jinmen by car would only take five minutes.The longest tunnel now being planned anywhere in the world is the 54-kilometer land tunnel to link Lyon in France with Turin in Italy. The tunnel will not be completed until 2015-2020.1. Which is the longest tunnel in the world at present?A. The tunnel between Lyon and Turin.B. The English Channel Tunnel.C. The Taiwan Straits tunnel.D. The passage doesn't mention it.2. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Universities both at home and abroad have sponsored (赞助) the plan.B. If the project is completed, the world's longest tunnel will appear.C. You can reach Taiwan from the mainland directly at present.D. The starting point of the proposed tunnel is in Fujian.3. The example of English Channel Tunnel shows _______.A. it's not easy to complete a huge projectB. there are many problems to be solved before doing somethingC. discussions among countries usually take a lot of timeD. the preparation takes longer time than the construction4. What is the major difficulty in carrying out the plan?A. Improving the relationship between Taiwan and the mainland.B. The lack of money for the project from the government.C. The detailed plans for the tunnel.D. The technical problems with the tunnel.CSydney—A shark savaged a schoolboy's leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney on February 23．It was the third shark attack along the coast ofAustralia's largest city in a month．The 15-year-old boy and his father were in the water off Avalon, on Sydney's northern beaches, around dawn when he was attacked．The city's beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the summer months．"The father heard a scream and turned to see his son trashing （扭动） about in the water," police said．"Fortunately, the shark swam away and the boy was helped to shore by his father．Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller: "It got him around the top of his left leg and the father came and dragged him out of water．" He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to shore．"There was a lot of pain, as you can imagine"．The teenager was airlifted to hospital for treatment for leg injuries．Police said the bites" cut through to the bone" , but the boy did not appear to have sustained any fractures （骨折）．He was in a stable condition now．Several beaches were closed after the attack．Water police and lifeguards were searching for the shark, while police hoped to identify its species by the shape of the bite marks．But they said it was too early to say what type of shark attacked the boy．"I don't even know if he saw it," Miller said．Many shark species live in the waters off Sydney's beaches, but attacks on humans are still relatively rare．However, there were two attacks on successive days earlier this month, one on a navy diver in Sydney harbor, not far from the famous Opera House, and the other on a surfer at the city's world-famous Bondi beach．Fishermen say shark numbers are on the rise．There is a ban on commercial fishing in the harbor, which has increased fish stocks．Marine experts also claim environmental protection has created a cleaner environment, attracting sharks closer to shore as they chase fish．Many shark species, including the Great White—the man-eater made famous in Steven Spielberg's Jaws—are protected in Australian waters．【小题1】The report mainly tells us _______．A．shark attacks on humans are on the riseB．sharks attacked humans three times in one monthC．a boy was attacked by a shark at a Sydney beachD．shark numbers are increasing in the waters off Sydney's beaches【小题2】The underlined word" savaged "in the first paragraph probably means _______．A．attracted B．dragged C．bit D．packed【小题3】What do we know about the city of Sydney from the passage?A．It is one of the largest cities in Australia．B．Sydney harbor is not far from the famous Opera House．C．There are many locals and tourists on its coast all year round．D．There are few shark species in the waters off Sydney's beaches．【小题4】All the followings are the causes of Australia's sharks increasing EXCEPT that_______．A．environmental protection has created a cleaner environmentB．a ban on commercial fishing has increased fish numbersC．many shark species are protected in Australia watersD．the film Jaws made the Great White famousDIn the kitchen of my mother’s houses there has always been a wooden stand（木架）with a small notepad（记事本）and a hole for a pencil.I’m looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can’t be the same pencil? The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.“I’m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these year.” I say to her, walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. “You still use a pencil. Can’t you afford a pen?”My mother replies a little sharply. “It works perfectly well. I’ve always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in these days.”Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, “One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on.”This story—which happened before I was born—reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is also a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible（看不到的）exhibits at every meal.1．Why has the author’s mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?A．To leave messages. B．To write down a flash of inspirationC．To note down maths problems. D．To list her everyday tasks..2. What is the author’s original opinion about the wooden stand?A. It has great value for the family.B.. It should be passed on to the next generation.C. It brings her back to her lonely childhood.D . It needs to be replaced by a better one3. The author feels embarrassed for .A. not making good use of time as her mother did.B. giving her mother a lot of trouble.C.. blaming her mother wronglyD. not making any breakthrough in her field.4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A . The marks on the breadboard have disappeared.B. The family members like traveling.C. The author had little time to play when young.D. The mother is successful in her career.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）【题文】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。
