The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around it didn’t look that bad, and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell, it didn’t offend the nose so much, edible, and we drank up every last drop of soup.34.Why did Dad clean Old Man Mocolgin’s chicken house regularly?A.

Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours, they would earn as much as＄172,000 a year.The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do, as well as the hours they are working, to determine the figure. This would make their yearly income ￡3000 more than the Prime Minister earns.By analysing the numbers, it found the average mother works 119 hours a week,40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18,it found that ,on most days, mums started their routine work at 7am and finished at around 11pm.To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour,it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part-time lawyer, at ￡48.98 an hour, would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum jobs”,with psychologist（心理学家）a close second.It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional（情感的）demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.The study shoes mothers matter all year long and not just on, Mother’s Day. The emotional ,physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. Investing（投入）in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.38.How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister?A.￡30,000.B.￡142,000.C.￡172,000.D.￡202,000.39.The biggest challenge for most mothers is from.A. emotional demandB. low pay for workC. heavy workloadD. lack of training40.What is stressed in the last paragraph?A. Mothers’importance shows in family all year long.B. The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile.C. Mothers’devotion to children can hardly be calculated.D. Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return.41.What can we conclude from the study?A. Mothers’working hours should be largely reduced.B. Mothers should balance their time for work and rest.C. Mothers’labour is of a higher value than it is real ised.D.Mothers should be freed from housework for social life.完形填空My previous home had a stand of woods behind it and many animals in the backyard.

河南省滑县第六高级中学高中英语限时练2一阅读AJohn Harrison has what must be the most wanted job in the United States. He’s the official taster for Edy’s Grand Ice Cream, one of the nation’s best-selling brands. Harrison’s taste buds(味蕾)are insured for $ 1 million. He gets to try 60 ice creams a day. And when he isn’t doing that, he travels, buying Edy’s in supermarkets all over the country so that he can check for perfect appearance and flavor.After I interviewed Harrison, I realized that the life of an ice cream taster is n’t all Cookies‘n’Cream－a wonderful flavor that he invented. No, it’s extremely hard work, which requires self-control and selflessness.For one thing, he doesn’t swallow on the job. Like a coffee taster, Harrison spits. Using a gold spoon to avoid“off”flavors, he takes a small bite and moves it aroundin his mouth to introduce it to all 9,000 or so taste buds. Next he opens his mouth to get some air into the ice cream. Then he breathes in gently to bring the aroma(香味)of the ice cream up through the back of his nose. Each step helps Harrison assess whether the ice cream has a good balance of dairy, sweetness, and added ingredients. Then, even if the ice cream tastes heavenly, he puts it into a trash can.During the workweek, Harrison told me that he has to make other sacrifices, too: no onions, garlic, and no caffeine(咖啡因). Caffeine will affect the taste buds, he said, so his breakfast is a cup of tea. This is a small price to pay for what he calls the world’s best job.Harrison’s family has been in the ice cream business in one way or another for four generations, so Harrison has spent his entire life with it. However, he has never lost his love for its cold, creamy sweetness. He even orders ice cream in restaurants for dessert.1. What is special about Harrison’s job?A. He buys ice cream for his customers.B. He invents a lot of new ice creams.C. His daily task is to taste ice cream.D. His work is related to insurance.2. The author develops the third paragraph mainly .A. by classificationB. by comparisonC. by importanceD. by process3. The underlined part“a small price”in the fourth paragraph means that .A. Harrison must travel around the country a lot[B. Harrison’s taste buds have been affected by caffeineC. Harrison avoids some kinds of food and drink for his workD. Harrison must order ice cream for dessert when eating in restaurants4. What is the text mainly about?A. An ice cream taster’s job.B. How to taste an ice cream.C. A famous ice cream brand.D. How ice creams are invented.BLoma just had to get in touch with someone：“I had to tell my best friend something important. I tried calling her but I couldn’t get through. So I sent her an e-mail and then I spoke to her on MSN. Without technology I would not have been able to tell her. ”Staying connected with friends and family is important for us. That’s why we asked our readers to tell us how cell-phones, e-mail, blogs, text messaging, and personal pages help them keep in touch. More than 1,500 responded.Most of them told us they couldn’t live without technology：80％of teens said they need technology to stay in touch. Almost 30％said they’d be completely out of their friends without their cell-phones and other methods of communication.What do they do when they’ve got news they need to share now? Most teens say they try to reach their friends by phone. But if they don’t reach them, they use QQ, e-mails, and text messaging to get the words out.Lots of people use one way of communication—like text messaging—to get a friend’s attention and then use another where they c an talk more. “My friends and I alwaystell each other everything that happens. So I send them text messages to tell them to come online so we can talk about it,” said Sabeiha.“When planning to get together with friends”, Julian said, “the easiest andf astest way I know is to send a text message to my contact group.” Jocelyn said. “If I want to go to see a movie with a few friends, I usually send text message to them. By telephone, you have to call every single friend one by one. But text messaging allow s you to send the same message to as many as you’d like, which saves a lot of time.5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. E-mails.B. Blogs.C. Personal pages.D. Personal letters.6. What do most young people use first when they have news to tell their friends?A. MSN.B. QQ.C. Phones.D. Text message.7. The underlined part “get the words out” means“”.A. send the messageB. send the e-mailC. talk with their friendsD. meet their friends8 In which part of a newspaper can you find this passage?A. Sport.B. Education.C. Technology.D. Culture.二语法填空（共20小题，每题1.5分，共30分）第一篇When I was a teenager, I used to skateboard on the playground. It seems that skateboarding is an 1． (entertain) hobby a lot of American teenagers take great interest in.I had a skateboard 2．was bought not too long ago. But since I don’t skateboard any more, I made a 3． (decide ) that I should go to a skateboard shop and give 4． to some kid. I know I would have been so excited if someone had done that for me when I was younger.So I drove to the local skateboard shop and waited outside for about ten minutes. A boy and his dad 5． (be ) about to walk into the shop when I stepped up. I asked him if he’d like my skateboard. He asked how much it was. I told hi m it was free---as long as he used it!His eyes lit up and I could see 6． excited he was. 7． (hand) him my skateboard, I walked back to my car. His dad kept asking me if I was 8． (real) giving him my skateboard, 9．I kept saying ,“Yes!”I thought his dad was 10． excited than he was. I was very happy that I could give someone a very nice skateboard.第二篇While walking in the park one day last spring, I noticed a young mother and her 3-year-old daughter. The little girl was holding a string at one end, at the other end of 1 was a beautiful balloon.All of a sudden, a light wind took the balloon away 2 the little girl. I thought she 3 (cry). But, no! As the little girl watched her balloon rising higher and higherinto the sky, she 4 (cheerful) shouted out, “wow!”That little girl taught me something. Later that day, I received a phone call from my friend, who told me 5 unexpected problem. I felt annoyed replying with “Oh no, what should we do?” But 6 (remember) that little girl, I found myself saying, “Wow! That’s interesting! How can I help you?”One thing is for sure---life is a long road, a road 7 (cover) with unexpected difficulties and hardships. However, how to deal with them is our 8 (choose). We can choose to be annoyed 9 interested. No matter what the situation is, a “Wow!” will always beat “Oh, no!”So the next time you meet one of life’s unexpected guests, remember 10 that little girl dealt with it and make it a “Wow!”experience. The “Wow!” always works.三短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处，每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。

He cut and styled the hair of almost everybody in the town and his business was quite successful.Then, a big modern hair salon moved to his town right across the street from his little shop. This new, big salon advertised in the newspapers and posted signs all over the town that read, “$6 haircuts! Everything for only $6!”Soon almost all his customers began going to the new salon across the street for $6 haircuts. The owner of the old hair salon knew he could never afford to beat the big new salon’s price of only $6. But then he thought of a way to turn things around. And he won his customers and business back soon. He just asked a local sign company to paint him a big sign which he placed in front of his hair salon. It read, “We fix $6 haircuts!”We all have problems and go through tough times. It’s the people who respond and deal with those problems positively(积极地) will succeed in life. It’s not luck that controls your life. It’s your own choices that make you happy and successful. Remember: Things turn out best for those people who make the best of the way things turn out. No matter what ha ppens these people keep going, because sooner or later “tough people win over tough times”.Remember, the same heat that melts butter also hardens clay(泥土).

AWhat would it be like to walk on Mars? If you could build the highest building in the world， what would it look like? Do you dream of being the next J. K. Rowling? This summer, you can experience all of these things, and more. All you need is an Internet connection and your imagination.A recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kids spend an average of 1 hour and 29 minutes online each day. Many kids like to use that time to chat with friends, play games or check e­mails. But the next time you get on the Web, try exploring the world instead. “With the Internet，you can go back 11,000 years in time，or go 11,000 kilometers across the planet.” said Russell, Web search expert of Google. “The whole scope of history and the world is open to you.”There is a wealth of information to be found online. For example, if your family is going on vacation somewhere, do a quick online search on the area before you even get in the car. “What's the background of the place; what's the history？” says Russell. “I like to tell my kids, ‘Whenever you have a question, whenever you have a doub t, search it out.’”Ready to launch a virtual journey of your own? Here are a few starting points to get you thinking and to help you on your way. You can invite your parents along for the ride, too. Always ask for permission before downloading programs and software onto your computer. And check with a parent or an adult before visiting any new Web site.Navigate the world in 3­D with Google Earth. Begin in outer space and zoom (快速移动) into the streets of any city, from Hong Kong to San Francisco. Or visit ancient monuments, watch the changing rainforests over time, and dive underwater to exploretropical reef.With the Moon in Google Earth tool, you can walk in Neil Armstrong's famous footsteps. Take a guided tour of the moon's surface with Armstrong's fellow shuttle mate astronaut Buzz Aldrin.When you're exploring that part of the solar system, hop on over to the Red Planet with Google Mars. There, you can move very quickly around the surface and see images from the Mars Rovers.1．The author uses questions in the first paragraph to ________.A．introduce the topic of the paragraphB．attract the readers' attentionC．let the readers answer itD．question the possibility of realizing the dream2．How do you travel around the world in a day according to the passage?A．By making use of the Internet.B．By taking the time shuttle.C．By finding a tourism company in Google.D．By watching 3­D films.3．Russell thought ________.A．the students shouldn't chat and play games onlineB．the students spent too much time on the InternetC．the students should learn knowledge instead of chatting onlineD．the students could solve their problems through the line4．What's the purpose of the passage?A．Encourage the kids to learn to use the computer.B．Encourage the kids to explore the world online.C．Encourage the kids to do some research on science.D．Encourage the kids to spend more time online.BJust 10 years ago, I sat across the desk from a doctor. “Yes,” he said, “there is something wrong with the left, upper lobe(肺叶). You have a moderately advancedcase... You'll have to give up work at once and go to bed. Later on, we'll see.”Feeling like a man who is in mid­career has suddenly been placed under sentence of death, I left the doctor's office, walked over to the park, and sat down on a bench.I needed to think. In the next 3 days, I cleared up my affairs, then I went home, got into bed, and set my watch to tick off not the minutes, but the months. Two years later, I left my bed and began the long climb back. It was another year before I made it.I speak of this experience because these years that passed so slowly taught me what to value and what to believe. I realize now that this world I'm living in is not my oyster(牡蛎) to be opened but my opportunity to be grasped. Each day, to me, is a precious thing. The sun comes up and presents me with 24 brand­new, wonderful hours—not to pass, but to fill.I've learned to appreciate those little, all­important things I never thought I had the time to notice before：the play of light on running water, the music of the wind in my favorite pine tree. I seem now to see and hear and feel with some of the recovered freshness of childhood. How well, for instance, I recall the touch of the springy earth under my feet the day I first stepped upon it after the years in bed.Frequently, I sit back and say to myself, “Let me make note of this moment I'm living right now, because in it I'm well, happy and hard at work doing what I like best to do. It won't always be like this, so while it is, I'll make the most of it—and afterwards, I remember—and be grateful. All this, I owe to that long time spent on the sidelines of life.”5. Which word can best describe the author's feeling after visiting the doctor?A. Hopeless.B. Curious.C. Confused.D. Energetic.6. How long did it take the author to recover from his disease?A. Two years and a half.B. Three years.C. Three years and a half.D. Four years.7.

By fighting with his disease, the author realized ________.A. patients should know how to get on with doctorsB. doctors should treat patients more carefullyC. we should pay enough attention to dietsD. we should value and appreciate life第二节：书面表达（满分25分）假如你是红星中学学生会主席李明，根据学校安排，你给即将到你校任教的外籍教师Jack 推荐一名学生助手（assistant）,请根据所给提示给Jack 写封推荐信。

How to Be CreativeMost of us think that creativity is a quality belonging only to artists, writers, or dancers, rather than ourselves. 5 The following tips are a great beginning for developing our creativity.1. Get out of your comfort zoneWe eagerly accept the familiar and fear the unknown. Break out of your usual patternsand welcome creativity into your life. As stated earlier, the human brain was designed to recognize patterns. 6 In fact, our comfort zone is nothing more than a collection of patterns. As we become more efficient at recognizing and using patterns, we rely less on creativity to find new paths. We should force ourselves out of our comfort zones and open up new possibilities.2. Try different thingsIf you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got. We are creatures of habits and routines, and creativity hates routines. If you usually drive to work, take the subway for a few days. 7 Interrupt your routine, experiment and try something new. New things are often creative, but the same old thing never is.3. 8Having a great idea is not enough, you must work to make it a reality. Have you ever seen a new product and realized that you thought of the same thing long ago? Yet someone else is making money with “your” idea. 9 The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action. Do whatever it takes to bring your ideas to life. If you can put them into practice, you are well on your way to improving your creativity in all areas of your life.A. Take actionB. Seek several optionsC. T hink from the other person’s point of view.D. If you normally eat in the office, have lunch under a tree.E. The truth is that we are all born with the capacity to be creative.F. We continue to create patterns and routines for almost everything we do.G. We all have great ideas sometimes, but only a few people turn their ideas into reality.二、语法填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

河南省滑县第六高级中学高中英语限时练1阅读理解AGraham and his friends preferred to shoot up in their arms, necks and legs. A dealer once said Graham was the type who would never be able to turn back and that he expected him to die from the drug. Wendy feared the same, bu t didn’t know how to save her son. “ Once, after he’d disappeared for more than a month, I found him at a friend’s house with a bunch of other users,” she said, “I got down on my hands and knees, begging him to come home. He did, but the next morning he wa s gone. I don’t know what made him do it, but I drove 20 miles to the nearest train station. Graham was headed for Seattle, his pockets full of drugs. If I hadn’t gotten there in time, I would never have seen him alive again.”The turning point came in 2007, after Graham was arrested yet again for possession. Wendy got a call from the Montana Drugs Project, which works with local law enforcement （强制执行） to keep track of youth-related crimes so it can help families in trouble. Following a counselor’s advice, Wendy hired two men to come to her home in the middle of the night, tie Graham and take him to a treatment program in Thompson Falls, Montana. “I was high when they came and really angry with my mom,” he said, “But if she hadn’t done that, drugs would have killed me.” After six months of treatment, Graham, now 19, came back to Kalispell, where he’s grown close to Wendy once again. “I still have the desires every day and attend support meetings every night,” he said, “But life is worth living again. My mom t hinks that’s a miracle. I guess she is right.”1. The underlined phrase “shoot up” in paragraph 1 probably means_________.A. increase very quickly and suddenlyB. put illegal drugs into the body by using a needleC. kill or injure someone by using a gunD. try to achieve a particular aim2. When the two men came to their home in the middle of the night, Graham _______.A. had just taken drugs and was in the state of excitement.B. was sleeping in a high bed above the ground.C. had just taken drugs and was in the state of suffering.D. was quarrelling with his mother.3. What conclusion can be drawn from the end of the passage?A. Graham is still using drugs now.B. Graham hates his mother very much.C. Graham thinks he can’t be saved.D. Graham has come off drugs now.BAs the population of the planet increases, so does the number of homes, businesses, parking lots, schools, airports and roadways. All these structures use electricity and need to be lighted. Humans demand these lights. They want their homes more comfortable and they want their streets safe. The problem is that researchers are finding that all the light is having a negative effect on humans and wildlife as well.Less than 10 years ago I drove to a thinly populated section of my town, lay down in the middle of the road and watched an attractive meteor shower (流星雨). The area was short of homes, street lights and traffic. If I did that today, I wouldn't be able to see the meteor shower as well. Due to the increase in street lights, I would surely be run over by a car.Nowadays scientists are finding light pollution can be almost as bad as carbon dioxide pollution. If you've ever taken a flight at night, the view is beautiful, but you must remember that all the light you see wastes electricity. The crew of the space shuttles see an even bigger picture of how extensive the wasted electricity is worldwide.One of the saddest parts of light pollution is that most of it is unnecessary and most of the outdoor light that we use is wasted. One only needs to look at a row of street lights to see how much of the light shines upwards and lights the sky; a total waste of electricity.Additionally, somewhere electricity needs to be produced, and the production of electricity creates pollution by releasing greenhouse gases. This affects the air we breathe and our quality of life.Scientists are also studying the effects of light pollution on wildlife. Thousands of birds die each year when they crash into highly lighted buildings, as they become puzzled by the light. It has been long known that tiny baby sea turtles become lost and follow lights on the shore instead of heading towards the sea.Fortunately, light pollution is one of the easiest sources of pollution that can be corrected without a negative effect. Following some guidelines and a little searching on Google can give you many ideas on how to reduce your contribution to light pollution.4. It is implied in Paragraph 3 that the best way to deal with light pollution is ________.A. reducing the output of the lightsB. avoiding the use of unnecessary lightingC. educating people about light pollutionD. inventing environmentally- friendly lights5. Which of the following is the effect of light pollution?A. Many animals species have died out.B. More traffic accidents happen every day.C. The air we breathe may be polluted.D. It is much easier for us to watch meteor showers.6. What can be inferred from the text?A. We are almost at a loss how to deal with light pollution.B. Global warming results in light pollution in some way.C. Astronauts ca n’t see clearly in space nowadays.D. Some animals use natural light to direct their movements.7. What will probably be provided following the last paragraph?A. Helpful tips for surfing the Internet.B. approaches to decreasing light pollution.C. Benefits of searching on Google.D. More bad effects of light pollution.第二节完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并将答案写在答题纸上。

一阅读（2*8=16） AMost people believe that fish only eat and swim. But, if you’ve ever had the opportunity to meet an Oscar fish you probably know better than that.Oscars have become a popular fish species in recen t years since they’re known to recognize their owners. They can have a trusting nature within them, which is seen in some Oscars who will affectionately rub up against their owner’s arm when they perform tank maintenance.Oscars create a bond with their owners, and they are probably going to let you pet them at some point of the relationship. Some will even eat from the owner’s hand. That’s very different behavior than most other fish varieties display. They not only bond with their owners, but they also bond with other fish as well. They even bond with varieties of fish different than its own. They develop strong relationships with one another, and they are impacted by the death of the other.They are easy to take care of because they will eat almost anything and will spit out whatever food they don’t like. They eat crickets and earthworms. They have also been known to eat small kitchen scraps as well. You just have to watch out what other types of fish you put in the tank with your Oscar, since if the fish is small enough, the Oscar will eat it.Oscars have an endearing personality, but they are aggressive fish. Oscars find themselves in a competition of sorts with other fish, and they can easily fight for no apparent reason. It’s hard to predict an Oscar’s temperament，since each of them has a distinct personality.The Oscar is known to grow up to 12—18 inches long, so it requires a large tank. Each Oscar requires about 80—100 gallons of water in the tank, so be prepared to move them to a larger tank as they get older.Oscars can be as sweet as puppies and very affectionate. Get to know your Oscar and its unique personality，and see for yourself how loving it can be.1．What is the text mainly about?A．The amazing personality of Oscars. B．How to take care of Oscars.C．The living habits of Oscars. D．Why people like Oscars. 2．Oscars are popular with people because________.A．they are easy to look after B．they eat whatever they aregivenC．they can recognize their owners D．they can play with their owners 3．Which of the following is TRUE about Oscars?A．They only bond with their owners. B．They only bond with fish of their species.C．They won’t be affected by another fish of their species.D．They keep good relation with different kinds of fish.4．To keep Oscars, we have to________.A．separate old fish from young ones B．use a large tank C．know their personality first D．train them to be affectionateBFacebook and Twitter have become a significant threat to marriage – with social media now a factor in an increasing number of divorce cases, say lawyers.One in seven married individuals have considered divorce because of their spouse’s （配偶） postings of Facebook or other online sites, according to research. A similar percentage admit that they search online for evidence of their spouse’s disloyalty, while nearly one in five say they have daily quarrels because of the way their husband or wife uses social media. The research was assigned by law firm Gordon in response to an increase in the number of its clients who said that Facebook, Skype, Snapchat, Twitter or other social media sites had played a part in their divorce.Andrew Newbury, of law firm Gordon, said: ‘Social media is the new marriage. Five years ago Facebook was rarely mentioned in the context of a marriage ending, but nowit has become common.” Social media, specific pictures and posts on Facebook, are now being routinely raised in divor ces.’ The survey by Censuswide among 2011 husbands and wives, found the most common reasons for checking their spouse’s social media accounts were to discover who they were talking to, who they were meeting and where they were going. A quarter of the married people said the resulting suspicions led to quarrels at least once a week, and 17 percent said such quarrels were daily events.Arguments were caused by contact with former partners, by the sending of secret messages, and by the posting of ‘inappropriate’ pictures. Some 14 percent said they looked at their spouse’s social media with the specific intention of detecting evidence of adultery5. The underlined word “disloyalty” in Paragraph 2 probably means_______.A. affectionB. discomfortC. dishonestyD. violence6. What might checking spouse’s social media accounts result in?A. The couple let out secrets quickly.B. The couple lost trust between each other.C. All the couples quarreled at least once a week.D. The couple felt comfortable about their relationship.7. By saying “Social media is the new marriage minefield”, Andrew means that______.A. a new marriage needs social media fieldB. social media is a good thing to marriageC. social media is a new field of communicationD. marriage ending will be caused by social media8. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Facebook, a Multifunctional ToolB. Social Media, a Threat to MarriageC. Posting Pictures is Killing MarriageD.
