AWhen I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Sometimes she said I was thin. Sometimes she said I was lazy. Someti mes she said I wasn’t a good student. Sometimes she said I talked too much, and so on. I tried to put up with(忍受) her as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.He listened to me quietly, and then he aske d, “Are the things she said true or not? Mary, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”I did as he told me and to my surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true.I brought the list back to my dad. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. When something said about you is true, you’ll find itwill be helpful to you. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you think is right.”Many years have passed. The situation often appears in my mind. In our life we often meet with some trouble and we often go to someone and ask for advice. For some advice you will treasure(珍惜) all your life!1. What did the writer’s father do after he heard her complaints(抱怨)?A. He agreed with her “enemy”.B. He told her to write down all her “enemy” had said about her.C. He le t her continue to put up with her “enemy”.D. He told her not to pay attention to what her “enemy” had said.2. The writer felt ______ when she did the things as her father had told her.A. surprisedB. angryC. disappointedD. sad3. Which of the following can we know from the passage?A. The “enemy” thought the writer was pretty.B. The “enemy” thought the writer studied hard.C. The writer and her “enemy” became best friends at last.D. The writer is grateful to her father.4. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. My ParentsB. A Serious Criticism(批评)C. What People Say About You Is Always RightD. The Best Advice I Ever HadBLet us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060. Let’s make believe (假装；虚构) it is about fifty years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment (娱乐) of young and old.What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven’t yet started to take on heir (继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet’s surface has to befilled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.People are now largely vegetarians (素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animal decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more. Such would be our life in 2060.5. When was the passage written?A. In about A.D. 2060.B. In about 1960.C. In about 2014.D. In about 2010.6.

On display will be 108 cultural relics from 10 museums in China, as well as collections from the British Museum and museums in Japan, the United States and Europe. The exhibition will be in five parts to give an overview of the society. "This was a time when the political and social system of the dynasty became stable(稳定), and the country also experienced huge changes. China was in frequent contact with the rest of the world at that time, and its artists and scholars also influenced other cultures," said Yao Yu, the director of this activity. During this time, Beijing became the capital of China, and Zheng He (1371-1433) set sail and reached the shores of eastern Africa.Jessica from the British Museum, said "reading" an artwork may differ in different cultures. "When a Chinese audience sees a painting you see figures and stories. But we see beautiful views. " However, she added that the British public had a basic knowledge of the dynasty and many British people probably knew more about the later period of the Ming Dynasty after the Portuguese and Spanish came to China to trade. Theirhouses and dining tables have Chinese blue and white vases but they don’t know much about the earlier period, which in China was a more culturally important period."We’d like to take away people fr om the idea that China became international after the Europeans arrived. China in the early Ming Dynasty was very international. "9. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. An important exhibition.B. Museums in London.C. Artworks from China.D. Ming Dynasty in China.10.

British people have a good knowledge of the Ming Dynasty.B. British citizens know more about the later period of the Ming Dynasty than the earlier ones.C. British and Spanish came to trade in Ming Dynasty.D. The later period of the Ming Dynasty is a more culturally important period in China.DWelcome to the Electronic Village to explore new ways of language teaching and learning.13.

The last project was called “smile”. The class was asked to go out to smile at three people and document their reactions. I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake.My husband, the youngest son and I went out to McDonald’s. We were standing in line when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away. As I turned around I smelled a horrible body odour (气味) and saw two poor homeless men standing behind me. As I looked at the short blue-eyed gentleman closest to me, he was “smiling”. The second man fumbled(摸索) with his hands as he stood behind his friend.The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He said, “ Coffee, is all, Miss,” because that was all they could afford.Then I really felt it - I embraced(拥抱)the little man with the blue eyes. That was when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. I smiled and asked two more breakfast meals on and gave them to the men.The blue-eyed gentleman looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, “Thank you.”I turned in my project. My teacher said, “Can I share this?” I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class. She began to read and that was when I knew that we as human beings should share this need to heal people and to be healed.In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald’s and every soul that heard the story in teh classroom. But, I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn.1.The underlined part “a piece of cake” in Paragraph 1 means ________.A. easyB. embarrassingC. movingD. comfortable2.Why did people around the author in the McDonald’s step back?A.

And she seemed a little short by her surroundings in the great hall of Christchurch College as she spoke quietly without a microphone because of a technical mistake. Her audience were 40 young girls from a London state school where 50 languages are spoken.“I remember how well-meaning but misguided people questioned whether someone with my background could succeed at an elite university,”she said. “When I was accepted I had all kinds of worries and doubts, Iwouldn’t be as well prepared as students from privileged families and I wouldn't fit in. But you are just as capable and have just as much to offer as anyone else.”This was Mrs Obama’s only solo outing during the state visit and part two of an unusual relationship which she has struck up with Anderson College in Islington. Two years ago on her first visit to the UK she visited the school.”Yesterday she returned to meet the pupils but this time at Christchurch College where they were taking part in an open day run to improve Oxford’s still poor record on diversifying student intake.Mrs Obama was asked why she married her husband, what it was like being First Lady and when there would be a female President in the White House. Her message which she repeated time and again was working hard, having self-belief, and not being afraid to fail.It was very un-British, but rather effective. Afterwards there were hugs for everyone and a photo with her.And watching the group of multi-cultural young Briton’s surround her among the splendor of the college building two thoughts stood out.5.Why did Michelle Obama not use a microphone during her speech?A. Something was wrong with the microphone.B. There was lack of equipment.C. She wanted to speak quietly to them.D. She had a loud and good voice.6.We can learn from the text that Michelle Obama ________.A. graduated from Anderson CollegeB. paid her first visit to the UK this timeC. was confident when she studied in collegeD. was from a family without good background7.We can infer from the text that these 40 young girls _______.A. were all from the United StatesB. were the students of Oxford UniversityC. came from different cultural back groundsD. stayed with Mrs Obama because of hard work8.Which of the following is excluded from what Michelle Obama has repeated in the speech?A. Working hard.B. Helping others.C. Having self-belief.D. Not being afraid to fail.CSHANGHAI: China’s economic center will replace London as the world’s second-largest economic center after New York in 10 years, according to a recent survey conducted by law firm Eversheds.The survey, which interviewed 600 senior business decision-makers in the cities of London, Mumbai, New York, Shanghai and the United Arab Emirates, showed that London was facing a challenge from Shanghai in terms of its economic role in the world.Most of them said New York would continue to hold the top position as the most important economic center.According to London-based Eversheds, 91 percent of senior business people in Shanghai are confident of their economic future over the next 12 months, mainly based on signs of growth in business, while in London only 22 percent are confident, the lowest figure among the five cities.The report showed that 87 percent of business leaders across the world said the crisis has changed the structure of the world economy, and the established economic centers of the West face a growing challenge from the new economies of the East.China, ahead of the US and Europe, has had signs of a recovery from the economic crisis. In March the Chinese government decided to try to turn Shanghai into an international economic center by the end of 2020.“There’s little doubt that Shanghai would become a world’s important economic center within the next decade if the Chinese economy will become NO.1 or NO. 2 in the world and because of the growing value of the yuan,” said Hubert Tse, managing director and head of international business at law firm Yuan Tat.“Shanghai’s becoming a world’s economic center is affected by when the yuan can be exchanged freely and whether effective laws would be put in place,” Tse said.9.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Businessmen in London are least confident of their economic future among the five cities surveyed.B. The economic development of the established economic centers of the West has slowed down due to the crisis.C. Chinese economy will surely become NO. 1 in the world by the end of 2020.D. China has shown signs of recovery from crisis earlier than the US and Europe.10.All of the following will make Shanghai a world’s economic center except ______.A. Chinese early economic recovery from crisisB. the growing value and free exchange of the yuanC. effective laws to be madeD. businessmen’s confidence in Shanghai11.What does the passage mainly deal with?A. People are confident in Chinese economy.B. Shanghai will become the second-largest economic center instead of London.C. New York remains to be the most important economic center.D. The structure of the world economy has been changed completely.DIn the past, many people depended on horses for transportation, farming and other kinds of work. A lot of people still like to ride horses. And, horse racing is also popular. So it is not surprising that Americans still use expressions about the animals.Long ago, people who were rich or important rode horses that were very tall. Today, if a girl acts like she is better than everyone else, you might say she should get off her high horse.We live in a small town. It does not have any exciting activities to offer visitors. My children call it a one-horse town.Last night, I got a telephone call while I was watching my favorite television show. I decided not to answer it because wild horses could not drag me away from the television. There was nothing that could stop me from doing what I wanted to do.You may have heard this expression: you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink. That means you can give someone advice but you cannot force him to do something he does not want to do.Sometimes a person fights a battle that has been decided or keeps arguing a question that has been settled. We say this is like beating a dead horse.Another piece of advice is, do not change horses in midstream. You would not want to get off one horse and on to another in the middle of a river, or make major changes in an activity that has already begun. In the past, this expression was used as an argument to re-elect a president, especially during a time when the country was at war.12.The text is mainly concerned with ________.A. some expressions about horsesB. people’s great interest in horsesC. horses’ influence on people’s lifeD. the author’s attitude towards horses13.The phrase “ get off one’s high horse” in the second paragraph is used to ________.A. persuade others to be modestB. remind others of their successC. encourage others to do betterD. advise others to stop one thing14.If you don’t want to be bothered by others, you can say “__________”.A. you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make me drinkB. I should never get off my high horse from now onC. wild horses cannot drag me away from the studyD. I am studying so hard to beat a dead horse15.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. A wild horse refers to something that people are interested in.B. A dead horse refers to something that people have decided.C. A black horse refers to someone who is working hard.D. A one-horse town refers to a very active town.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。

辽宁省沈阳铁路实验中学2017～2018学年高一下学期6月月考英语试题（时间：100分钟分数：120分）本试卷分第I卷（选择题）和第II卷（非选择题）两部分。

考试结束，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。

第Ⅰ卷第一部分: 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）AHow you move and gesture says as much about you as what comes out of your mouth.Jenny Smith, 34, an assistant vice-president at a bank in New York, was interviewing candidates (应考生) for a position which required a person with good communication skills.One candidate in particular stood out, but not in a good way. While she could have been very intelligent, her body language sent out very different messages. Her handshake was more of a finger shaker, and her eye contact was weak.To Jenny, what the candidate said didn’t matter because her body language said everything: she wasn’t suitable for the positi on. The candidate may have been quite appropriate(合适的), but she didn’t manage to get that across. So our body language may not do us justice. But there are some signals which are very common and are worth a thousand words.For example, a handshake can say much more than “hello, nice to meet you”. The most important part of a handshake is palm-to-palm contact. It’s even more important than how strong your handshake is. The palm-to-palm contact makes people seem honest: it seems to say “I am sincere(真诚的)”. A weak handshake—when the palms don’t touch —makes you seem unfriendly, insincere.But people sometimes use body language to give each other the wrong impression. Somebody who has a firm handshake may be pretending to be sincere, and somebody with a weak handshake may just be a bit shy and nothing more.Body language can also be overdone. While eye contact gives an impression offriendliness, too much eye contact or eye contact which is too intense(极为强烈的)can make people feel uncomfortable.1.The candidate for the job failed because _______.A.She wasn’t clever enoughB. she used improper body languageC. she said the wrong thingsD. she expressed a bad attitude2.When you shake someone’s hand you should ______.A.hold his hand with great strengthB. make frequent eye contactC. say something sincereD. make good contact with their hand3.According to the sixth paragraph, our body language _______.A.may give other people the false ideaB.B. is much more important than what you sayC. tells other people what you are really likeD. are ignored by most people4.What is the main purpose of the text?A.To help readers get a better jobB. To show why handshakes are importantC. To introduce body language to readers.D. To explain what the right communication skills areBThe idea for traffic lights began in the 1800s when a system was required to controlthe ever-increasing flow of horse-drawn traffic. In 1868, in London, a signal was installed (安装) at the crossing of George Street and Bridge Street, near Parliament.This provided walkers a safe crossing.The system contained a semaphore—a tall post with moveable arms. When the arms were positioned sideways it meant stop. After dark, a gas light was lit at the top.The green colored glass meant go, while red meant stop. At first, signals were controlled by hand, with officers deciding when the signals should be changed according to traffic flow. They’ve blow a whistle to warn drivers that the signa lwas going to change.However, in 1869, a traffic signal exploded following a leak (泄露) in one ofthe gas lines below, severely injuring the policeman operating it. This led to thesemaphore project being dropped in London.Then in Utah in 1912, Policeman Lester Wire developed the first electric light system with red and green lights. Two years later, the first electric signal was installed in Cleveland. It was based on a design by James Hoge and allowed the police and firefighters to control the signals in case of emergencies.In Detroit, William Potts, also a police officer, looked to adapt railroad signals to be used on streets and developed a system with red, yellowish brown and green lights. He made the first four-way three colored traffic system, and it was installed on the Wood ward and Michigan Avenues in Detroit in 1920. A year later there were 15 automatic(自动的) light systems.The first electric traffic lights to be installed in England were in Piccadilly Circus in 1926. Just over 60 years later traffic lights became the subject of an art installation near London’s Canary Wharf.5.The second paragraph mainly tells readers ________.A. how the original traffic lights functionedB. how the semaphore was installedC. why a whistle was needed to control the trafficD. why signals should be changed by traffic officers.6.Why was the semaphore project dropped in London?A.It was not environmentally friendly.B. It was not easy to operate.C. It turned out to be unsafe.D. It was expensive to afford.7.According to the text, the four-way three colored traffic system _______.A.was introduced into England in the late 1920sB.B. got popular in America in the late 1920sC. was firstly installed in America in 1920D. was developed by a policeman in 19208.The text is developed mainly by _______.A.following space orderB. following time orderB.C. making comparisons D. giving examplesCSix people are about to find out what it would be like to live on Mars—without ever leaving the Earth.Three men and three women will spend eight months living in a special habitat on the side of a volcano in Hawaii. They are part of an experiment being done by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration)that is designed to mimic(模仿)life on Mars.Some people may become happy or bored living under those conditions. Certain personality types may not get along and living together for a long time could cause them to argue.By studying people living in similar conditions here on Earth, NASA hopes to learn how to choose the best people for a space mission, and how to help them get along.The crew(全体机组人员) will live in a two-story dome-shaped building. The dome is located in an area about 2400 metres up the side of Mauna Loa, the second biggest volcano in the world. Mauna Loa is an active volcano, but it has not erupted since 1984. It is monitored all the time for signs of volcanic activity. NASA chose the location because the environment there looks very similar to Mars.During the experiment, the crew will only be able to communicate by email. To make it more like being on Mars, there will be a 20-minute waiting time between the time a message is sent and when it is received. That means it will take 40 minutes to get a reply to an email.The crew will be performing scientific work while they are there, including some trips outside the dome. When they go outside, they will have to wear spacesuits, just as if they were on Mars.The commander of the crew is Martha Lenio, a 34-year-old Canadian. Lenio studied engineering and is interested in space exploration and environmental problems. During the mission, she will run experiments on growing food and making compost(堆肥) inside the dome.The other crewmembers have backgrounds in physics and astronomy. They were chosen from about 150 people who applied to take part in the experiment. None of them areastronauts.9.The main purpose of the experiment is to ________.A.Study p eople’s behaviorB. complete a challenging taskC. get familiar with our natural worldD. prepare volunteers for life on Mars10.When living in a group, volunteers should ______.A.Try to show their own personalityB. learn to get along with each otherC. have no chance to go outsideD. communicate by phone in real time11.What can be learnt from the text?A.Martha Lenio used to be an astronaut.B. The experiment will take about two years.C. All six members have professional backgrounds.D. All members will run experiments on growing food.12.Where is the text most probably take from?A.A science fiction.B. A science magazine.B.C. A class presentation D. A geography textbookDTypes of Fire ExtinguishersFire extinguishers are marked according to the kind of fire on which they shouldbe used. Using the wrong type of extinguisher can be dangerous and make things worse.Type A extinguishers are used for fires on paper, cloth, wood, rubber, many plasticand so on. These types of fires usually leave ashes when they burn, so use Type A extinguishers for fires that leave ashes.Type B extinguishers are used for burning liquids, such as oil, gasoline, and paints. These substances often come in barrel-shaped(桶形的)containers, so use TypeB extinguishers for such barrels.Type C extinguishers are used for electrical fires.

AHelen Thomas, the pioneering White House reporter knownfor putting presidents on the hot seat, died at 92．To those who regularly watch presidential press conferences, Helen Thomas is a familiar figure．Usually dressed in red and always seated in the front row, she is always the first or second reporter the president calls upon．It is an honor she has earned．Besides, it affords herthe perfect opportunity to do what she does best - challengethe president and other public officials to tell the plain truth．She said, "We reporters' priority（首要事情） is the people's right to know - without fear or favor．We are the people's servants．"Helen Thomas was born in Kentucky in 1920．All the nine Thomas children were brought up to value education, and allwere expected to make something of themselves through working hard．She made up her mind while still in high schoolto become a reporter after writing for the student newspaper．After receiving her bachelor's degree in 1942, Thomas headed straight for Washington, D．C．in search of a newspaper job．Before long, she landed one at Washington Daily News．Her duty included fetching coffee and doughnuts for the paper's reporters and editors．The eager young woman found the atmosphere exciting and was convinced she had made the right career choice．Her big break came when she was sent to Florida to report on the vacation of President-elect John F．Kennedy and his family．Once President Kennedy took office, Thomas changed her focus from the president's family to his policies．She began attending the daily press briefings at the White House as well as presidential press conferences．Thomas has covered every president since Kennedy．Over the years, Thomas found her job "thrilling and inspiring," but never boring．And she took very seriously her duty to "keep an eye on the president" and keep American people informed．1.What can we learn about Helen Thomas from the passage?

"Professor Cyrus Shahabi also knows about traffic jams.He lives more than 65 kilometers from his office at the University of Southern Califomia,in Los Angeles. He is always late even with the help of a navigation(导航) system.He decided to develop a programme called ClearPath for that. He says his program uses historical data to predict traffic conditions even before the driver leaves the house." What's unique is that we use a lot of data that's currently become available including traffic data,weather data,and we analyze that so that we can predict what's going to happen in front of you when you leave home. "Professor Shahabi says his system does more than just respond to current traffic conditions. With ClearPath,he says, a driver can decide what time he wants to leave, and ClearPath will give the fastest route. It looks at the entire road network, including surface streets as well as highways,before the driver hits the road. Professor Shahabi hopes to have ClearPath available nationwide and overseas once they can collect traffic data from other cities. "I always thought that Los Angeles had the worst traffic, but now I know that Shanghai,Beijing,Seoul,Tokyo, believe it or not, Singapore, Hong Kong certainly are examples thatcan immediately use this. "Professor Shahabi hopes to share this new technology with companies that already have navigation systems, such as Google and Apple.5.

A．Becoming upset B．Missing family C．Feeling confident D．Making complaints12．What would be probably discussed in the paragraph that follows?A．Consequences of culture shock. B．Challenges in a new country.C．The 4th stage of cultural adjustment. D．Preparations for a new culture.DIf you are planning a visit to Chicago, make sure you see the city best before you head back home.ArchitectureChicago is home to some of the most fascinating architecture in the country. One of the oldest buildings in the city is the Water Tower, which was built in 1869. It is one of the structures to survive the Chicago Fire in 1871. It is a fascinating building to see, and is nearby the Water Tower Place, which has great shopping. It’s a paradise for the young. Another stop must be the Willes Tower, formerly known as the Sears Tower. Go to the top and walk out on the clear walkway to take a look straight down on the city. If you have the time, be sure to have dinner or a cocktail in the Signature Room on the 95th floor. Not only is the foodgreat, but the views are breathtaking.Boat ToursIf architecture is your thing, Wendella Boats offers a great architecture tour of Chicago. You can see some of the beautiful buildings from the Chicago River, which is a side of the buildings you don’t usually get to see. There are several other boat tours that are just great, too, and many will even take you from the river out to Lake Michigan where you can see the Chicago skyline at any time of day. These tours are great ways to gain knowledge of this spectacular city, and it’s also a funny way to rest your legs between walking tips.Famous PizzaYou cannot come to Chicago without trying some famous, deep-dish pizza. There are many places to get this delicious, thick pizza, but three stores stand out from the rest. Gino’s East, Giordano’s, and Lou Malnati’s are the bes t places to get authentic, Chicago-style, deep-dish pizza. Try it with all the toppings or just cheese, but be sure you try it at some point. Many think that much pizza and cheese seems disgusting, but don’t knock it till you try it. You mightfind a new favorite way of eating this Italian classic.13.Water Tower Place is so popular among young people most probably because of ______.A.its amusement services and shopping advantagesB．its advantage of meeting his or her future partnerC. there being many museums about art and literatureD. its importance in working as an unusual water tower now14.While making a boat tour, you can ______.A．draw the newly built architecture along the river B．see some beautiful buildings and even the Chicago skyline C．see how to gain knowledge in daily lifeD．measure the length and width of the Chicago River 15.Why does the author advise visitors to try pizza in Chicago?.A．Because its cheese comes from Italy.

AAs a boy, Sanders was much influenced by books about the sea, but by the age of fifteen he had decided to become a doctor rather than a sailor. His father was a doctor. So he was often with the doctors and got along very well with them. When he was fourteen, he was already hanging around the hospital where he was supposed to be helping to clean the medicine bottles, but was actually trying to listen to the doctors’ conversations with patients in the next room.During the war Sanders served in the army as a surgeon(外科医生). “That was the happiest time of my life. I was dealing with real sufferers and on the whole making a success of my job.” In Rhodes he taught the country people simple facts about medicine. He saw himself as a life-saver. He had proved his skill to himself and had a firm belief that he could serve those who lived simply, and were dependent upon him. Thus, while in a position to tell them what to do he could feel he was serving them.After the war, he married and set up a practice deep in the countryside, working under an old doctor who hated the sight of blood. This gave the younger man plenty of opportunities (机会) to go on working as a life-saver.1. When he was a small boy, books about the sea had made Sanders want to be ___.A. a surgeonB. an army manC. a sailorD. a life-saver2. At the age of 14, Sanders ___.A. worked as a doctor by cleaning the medicine bottlesB. met some doctors who were very friendly to himC. was interested in talking with patientsD. remained together with the doctors3. Having proved his skill to himself, Sanders ___.A. wanted to live a simple life like a countrymanB. came to realize that he was really working for his countrymenC. taught himself life-savingD. was highly respected by the old doctor4. When the war was over, he ___.A. learned from an old doctor because he was popularB. started to hate the sight of blood while workingC. served t he countrymen under an old doctor w ho needed someone to help himD. had few chances to be a “life-saver” because he was youngerBWhen it comes to human resources, hiring highly-skilled staff is not usually enough for a company to function successfully. Besides the knowledge in their particular fields, employees must always have additional skills-----those of co-operation. In the case that work tasks can only be ca rried out by communicating with people, accepting common decisions, solving problems, sharing information and helping one another, teamwork skills are important.While some jobs may require talent, the ability to work as a team is learned. There are no complicated formulas(规则); you don't need to have any special qualities or exceptional mental abilities. Individuals can be effective as a team if they have developed certain behaviors or habits of communication. Many companies, clubs and organizations use team building activities. Team building activities may include a number of teamwork elements. They are aimed at encouraging active participation in task accomplishment while all members have their roles as individuals and are able to co-operate towards a common goal as a team.Many team building activities focus on problem solving and discussing team issues; thus argument as a way to common consensus (共识) is encouraged. Team building activities often involve recognition and identification of team member skills, talents, knowledge, and experiences which allow the team members to learn more about each other and fully utilize (利用) those skills where appropriate（合适的）. Many team activities are focused on developing keys to trust during challenging times.5. In the author's opinion, which of the following is important for a company to besuccessful?A. Specialized knowledge.B. Highly-skilled staff.C. Exceptional talent.D. Teamwork skills.6. According to the second paragraph, co-operation skills______.A. require special qualities and abilitiesB. are learned while working in a teamC. need exceptional mental abilitiesD. are quite complicated to learn7. Team building activities are good for______.A. hiring employees with special talentB. encouraging employees to co-operateC. helping employees work independentlyD. training employees in their special fields8.

People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections(注射) so that they won’t carry diseases. They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of stores. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people’s houses, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You willalso find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it.People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be: Their family ties are not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.13. The passage mainly talks about ______.A. how to keep diseases from petsB.

ANew research has found that even if you give up smoking, the damage it has done to your genes (基因) will stay there for a much longer time.In the research, a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people. Among them, some were smokers, some used to smoke, and the rest were non-smokers. Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed--a number that is one-third of known human genes.According to NBC News, both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes. Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their day-to-day lives while doing things like smoking.When you stop smoking, a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years. This means your body is trying to heal (治愈) itself of the harmful effects of smoking. But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer. They can stay for as long as 30 years, It’s almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement (水泥) --it will always be there, even when you’ve walked away and w hen the cement becomes dry.Although the study results may make people unhappy, there is a bright side: the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks.1．The function of Paragraph 1 is to_________ .A. give an exampleB. show the main idea of the passageC. make an argumentD. introduce the topic of the passage2．Most genetic changes happen because of___________ .A. people’s bad living habitB. environmental pollutionC. people’s condition at birthD. heart disease and cancer3．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to__________ .A. the footprintB. the cementC. the harmful effectD. the genetic change4．Which of the following statements is true?A. The findings are the fruit of more than three years’ research.B. The findings offer evidence that a damaged gene can heal itself.C. The findings help to find treatments for genetic damage caused by smoking.D. The findings have prevented more people from starting smokingBConfucius was born in today’s Qufu in Shandong Province in 551 BC. His family was far from being wealthy. But he was a hard-working pupil even in his childhood. As a young man of a little over twenty, he became a small official of the state. Since he was very knowledgeable and serious in work, he had become quite well-known by the time he turned thirty. Confucius had been to many of the states of the time, trying to make his political views accepted by the rulers in running their states. But they turned a d deaf ear to his views and opinions. As a result, Confucius made up his mind to devote all his energies to education. When people learned about this, many of them sent their children to him to be educated. They were accepted and so Confucius became the first man in the history of Chinese education to start a private school.Yan Hui, a young man of humble origin, wanted to be accepted as Confucius’s student. But the family was so poor that they even had difficulty providing themselves with daily necessities. He was afraid he would be rejected as he could not afford the tuition(学费) One day he came to where Confucius was giving lectures and overheard Confucius say, “I’m ready to accept anyone that can bring 10 pieces of preserved meat for tuition, whatever his origin” Hearing this, Yan Hui hurried back home and told his friends Zi Lu and Zi Gong about it. A few days later, all three became Confucius’s students.Confucius was a dedicated educator, having accepted a total of 3,000 students in his life, of whom 72 were outstanding scholars.

It was different from other schools in the area. While most trained youths for work that would take them away from their villages, Tumul K’in tra ined them for those things they could use locally, such as farming and various trades.“The difference in education is that students at Tumul K’in learn everything from mathematics and science to agricultural practices and how to raise livestock(家畜),” he said.“The main idea is to help maintain the Mayan lifestyle of village living and help it to be passed on to the next generation.”As for the radio station, Frank said that the effort was part of a program originally founded by the UN.“The radio station has been named ‘Ak Kutan FM’,or ‘New Day FM’.It will broadcast health information, such as where people can go to get tested for HIV, as well as report local and national news,” he said. For most, it was the first interaction(互动) with the local community that Mayans in this remote village would have. “I can’t stress enough how little contact many villagers have had with the outside world,” Frank said. “Many have never left their village nor seen something like a telephone, refrigerator or even a world map.”9.

AWalking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path. I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn't covered by water or mud. As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked!Yet I did nothing for the attack. It was so unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or five times. I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me. Had I been hurt I wouldn't have found it amusing. And I was laughing. After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!Having stopped laughing, I took a step forward. My attacker rushed me again. He charged towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain. For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker paused. I wasn't sure what to do. After all, it’s just not everyday t hat one is attacked by a butterfly. I stepped back to look the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. That's when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments earlier. He had a mate and she was dying.Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mate’s sake, even though she was clearly dying and I was so large. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life. Should I have been careless enough to step on her? His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate’s safety seemed admirabl e. I couldn’t do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool. He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed.Since then, I’ve used that butterfly’s courage as an inspiration and to remind myself that good things are worth fighting for.21. The writer changed his direction while walking down a path because he wanted_______.A. to get close to a butterflyB. to escape a sudden attackC. to look over the bad situationD. to avoid getting his shoes dirty22. From the passage we can learn that the attacker _________.A. struck the author four or five times and made him badly hurtB. paused until the author took a step backwardsC. thought it was the author who caused the death of his mateD. attacked the author for his mate’s safety and to accompany her for the last moments oflife23. From this experience the man learned_____.A. butterflies are brave insectsB. the small can defeat the largeC. how to deal with challeng es in his lifeD. people should try their best to fight for everything24. Which of the following words can best describe the butterfly?A. amusingB. ambitiousC. courageousD. aggressiveBIt was the end of my first senior year. I was riding with my friends, and a bottle of beer was passed around the car. Everyone was taking swigs(一大口). When the bottle got to me, I thought:“What should I do?”I took a swig. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I had to drive home later that night.I went back to my car, got in and drove off. At a stop sign I saw a policeman sitting in the parking lot across the street. His headlights were turned on, and I knew he was going to follow me. Then he flashed his lights at me. All I could think was: “Oh no, that swig!”I pulled over and waited for him to come to my door. It felt like forever. “Can I see your license and registration, please, Miss?”I gave them to him. He took them and went back to his car for a while. When he returned, he asked if I had been drinking.“No,”I said. He asked me to step out of my car.“Walk heel to toe down the white line, please.”I passed the test. Next he had me stand on my left foot, lift my right foot and hold it for 30 seconds. I’m not the most coordinated (动作协调的) person and I can’t even walk and chew gum at the same time, so, needless t o say, I didn’t pass. Then he asked me to take a breathalyzer test.That was where I messed up. I told him I didn’t want to and didn’t understand why I had to. The officer asked me three more times, and I continued to refuse. He told me to turn around and place my hands behind my back. He arrested me right then and there.The policeman drove me to a police station 20 minutes from my home. He called my parents and told them where I was.I went to court two months after that, charged with refusing to obey an officer. I got a $700 (4,340 yuan) fine and 40 hours of community serv ice. I’ll be o n probation (缓刑) for a year, and I’ll hav e to take the driving test again. I lost my license for a whole year.This was a huge learning experience for me. It opened my eyes to how easy it is to make a stupid decision. I want everyone reading this to know that it’s not right to drink and drive. It definitely isn’t worth losing your license over.25.

Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment. By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation(诱惑) early on were more likely to belonely, easily frustrated(沮丧)and inflexible(固守己见的). Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign ofemotional intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test.The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists' concerns. But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul. Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting people's success, brain ability as measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as "character".EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one's ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and putintelligence to use. Among the ingredients(要素) for success, researchers now generally agree thatIQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse.29. Which of the following is true of EQ and IQ according to the text?A. The higher a person's EQ is, the higher his or her IQ is.B. The higher a person's IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is.C. Some people can be blessed with lots of both, but some with little of either.D. Scientists have already discovered the way in which EQ and IQ work together.30. The underlined word "upbeat" in Paragraph 4 probably means _____.A. kindB. optimisticC. excitedD. floating31.Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text?A. To introduce the topic of the text.B. To prove the scientist's wisdom.C. To amuse both the children and readers.D. To show us how to do an IQ test.32.What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?A. Information about famous people with high EQ.B. Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ.C. Some reasons why EQ is a relatively new field.D. Strong demand for basic emotional education.DThings to See & Do in DublinDublin City Ha llInside City Ha ll is an interesting exhibition about Dublin’s history, with historical items from the o ld city and multimedia presentations.
