Grandparents Peter and Chris stepped on the long journey after deciding to “do something a bit different”. They traversed (横穿) cities, deserts, mountains and everything in between across Europe, the Middle East and the East Asia. The married couple of 37 years enjoyed themselves with delicious local food and spent most nights inside a tiny tent put up wherever they could find shelter.Peter, 66, said the moment they finally had a look at the famous Great Wall after a year and a half of cycling 30 miles a day was “really exciting”. At the end of their journey, the special pair didn’t fly home but instead choose to book a cabin (舱) inside a 400m-long container ship. The final part was a three-week voyage from Singapore across the Indian Ocean and into the Mediterranean Sea before arriving at Southampton.“You never know what the day is going to bring. All you know is that you aregoing to get on your bike and cycle. Every day is an adventure and every day is new. Overall, the experience is absolutely unbelievable, ” Peter said.Peter and Chris initially set out to cycle from Britain in January 2017 but were forced home. They had cycled all the way to Hungary when Peter slipped on tiles and broke his leg. After seven months of recovery, the couple set out again in Britain. They finally arrived in China in November 2018.Both Peter and Chris agreed that the best part of the entiretrip was coming across the kindness of strangers along the way, many of whom invited the couple for food and drink.

Fine particle pollution declined rapidly following the new rules on industrial emissions and the promotion of cleanfuels, according to the study, published on Monday in the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. The study, which focused on the period from 2013-2017, was conducted by a group of Chinese researchers and scientists.PM2.5, as this kind of pollution is known, is so small that it can enter the bloodstream, potentially leading to cancer, stroke and heart attack in the long term. After rapid industrialization and weak regulations left the country with a reputation for smog and bad air quality, Chinese authorities started to take air pollution seriously in 2008.In 2013, Beijing had PM2.5 concentrations 40 times higher than levels recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), and the governmentintroduced its toughest-ever clean air policies that year. The study found “signif icant declines” in PM2.5 levels across China from 2013-2017, with new standards for thermal power plants and industrial boilers, the replacement of old factories, and new emissions rules for vehicles. The authors say this “confirms the effectiveness of Chi na’s recent clean air actions.”These recent actions have seen Beijing fall out of the top 100 most-polluted cities in Asia in recent years, with the pollution levels 10% lower across Chinese cities between 2017 and 2018, according to a report by Greenpeace and AirVisual. Shanghai, the country’s largest city and financial capital, has also made environmental advances, such as adopting strict recycling regulations. Public pressure has been the driving force of pollution policy in China.Air pollution is a global issue, and India is now home to 22 of the 30 most polluted world cities, according to the Greenpeace and AirVisual report. In the US, a recent study said air pollutionwas linked to more than 107,000 deaths in 2011 and cost the country $866 billion.8. What saved many lives in China?A. China’s clean air policies.B. The increased particle pollution.C. The study by researchers.D. The reduction of the clean fuels.9. Why did PM2.5 cause many diseases?A. It was called smog.B. It made the air cleaner.C. It went into the blood.D. It had a bad reputation.10. When did Chinese government decide to treat the pollution?A. In 2008.B. In 2013.C. In 2017.D. In 2018.11. What did people in Shanghai do to protect the environment?A. They built the thermal power plants.B. They stopped using industrial boilers.C. They made Shanghai financial capital.D. They tried to recycle some rubbish.DIn the 1994 film Forrest Gump, there’s a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.” The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping.A blind box toy is hidden inside uniform packaging(包装) butinvisible from the outside. You don’t know what will be inside, although the toys typically come from pop culture, ranging from movies to comics and cartoons.Blind boxes have caught on since they were first introduced from Japan to China in 2014. According to a 2019 Tmall report, the mini-series of Labubu blind box. designed by Hong Kong -born Kasing Lung, was named Champion of Unit Sales with 55,000 sold in just 9 seconds during the Singles Day shopping event. Most customers for blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35.According to The Paper, blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute appearances. The typically cute cartoon figurines (小塑像) come in miniature (微型的) sizes, making them suitable for display almost anywhere.Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations(装饰品), the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts people. It’s the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another.“Fear of the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process,” said Miss Cao, 24, who lives and works in Shenyang. Speaking to Sina News, she said: “Until you open all the boxes, you cannot know what it is inside.”Opening a blind box is a delightful little surprise for our mundane daily lives, something small but fun to wait for each day, week or month. When people open this simple little box, they may be disappointed, but the uncertainty is part of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome.When someone re-makes Forrest Gump, don't be surprised if he says, “Life is like a blind box.”12.What feature of blind boxes attracts people?A.They often get toys designed by famous artists.B.They don’t know what they’ve got until they open them.C.They can learn about pop culture from the packaging.D.They can experience the excitement of online shopping.13.Why does Miss Cao love blind box toys?。

AI had had an unusual relationship with my mother, who passed away in June 2019. Froma young age, her life didn’t turn out as she’d hoped. As a result, anger and bitterness set in and developed deep roots. After a lifetime battle with depression (抑郁) and every kind of smoke- related illness, she began showing signs of dementia (痴呆). In 2014, we moved her into an assisted living facility (疗养院), which changed her life greatly.The ladies there made her come down for lunch and dinner. They went to her room to bring her to bingo. They signed her up when they went out for an outing. Within weeks, she was changing and enjoying her new-found social life! And the dementia allowed her to forget her anger and bitterness. She started loving things again and even made us laugh. I got the mother of my childhood back that year. After she passed away, both staff and neighbours came in to see my sister and me. They cried. They told me how they would come in to see her on their days off. They told us how she waved every time they walked by and always had a compliment (赞许). But they didn’t stop there. They gave each of us a small woodenbutterfly box filled with handwritten notes about my mom.The mom of the final two years was not the mom I had for most of my life. And these women provided memories that I will keep in mind forever.1. How was the author’s mother before moving into the facility?A. Fun and happy.B. Sad but energeticC. Relaxed and brave.D. Depressed and angry.2. What can we infer from the passage?A. The author didn’t look after his mother well.B. The author’s mother had a hard time all her life.C. Only assisted living facilities can change one’s life.D. The author’s mother regained her joy in her later years.3. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. My Memories of MomB. My Thankfulness to the LadiesC. My Relationship with MotherD. My Mother’s Struggle with DementiaBThere has been a debate for some time that food can be addictive (上瘾的). Most researchers may not agree with it. But this spring, experts on health discovered that for some, obesity (肥胖症) is “an addiction like smoking.” One month earlier, a lecture showed that food and drug addictions have much in common, especially in the way that both damage the parts of the brain involved in pleasure and self-control.Earlier this year, some scientists carried out brain-scan studies on children who looked at pictures of chocolate milkshakes (奶昔) and later ate the milkshakes. Children who are regular ice-cream eaters may require more and more ice cream for the reward centers (奖励中枢) of their brains to tell that they are satisfied.However, meditation and exercise can help the brain to overcome food addiction. Food addicts (嗜食者) should look for alternatives that still give pleasure — a fruit smoothie,for example, instead of ice cream.Food addiction seems to be linked to the types of foods we’re eating. It’s easier for human body to deal with foods found in nature, not processed (加工的) foods. When a highly processed food is eaten, the body may go uncontrollable. Potatoes are not addictive, but when they are processed into chips, what happens? Products like chips are described as super-delicious foods. They were the right combination of something salty, sweet and fatty along with “mouth-feel.”4. Why may regular ice-cream eaters need more ice-cream over time?A. To stop being addicted to it.B. To meet the needs of the brain.C. To control the centre of the brain.D. To satisfy the needs of the stomach.5. What does the underlined word “alternative s” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Replacements.B. Fruits.C. Methods.D. Drinks.6. What can we know from the last paragraph?A. Processed foods are healthier.B. People are born with food addiction.C. Processed foods usually have a better taste.D. Processed foods are usually more expensive.CThe widespread use of Internet technology has made our lives easier but causes a big challenge to senior citizens (长者), who are not always comfortable with smartphones and so many new apps.Only a few senior citizens are able to enjoy the benefits that new technologies offer. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the number of people aged 60 and above was 253.88 million in 2019, about 18.1% of China’s population. But only 23% of the senior citizens were able to use the Internet. That means more than three-fourths of the elderly are deprived (被剥夺) of the digital benefits.Many senior citizens who can’t use smartphones are facing difficulties during this pandemic (流行病). Even with a smartphone in hand and Internet available, many of them stillfeel helpless. They don’t k now how to call a taxi through the apps. There have been reports of many shops turning away elders who don’t know how to pay using smartphones, instead of letting them pay with cash. Worse still, as they don’t know how to get the Internet-based health code (健康码), they are refused to enter many public places. Presenting individual health code is part of the epidemic prevention (防疫) and control measures New technologies become popular because they are often of great use in our daily lives. But many senior citizens, especially those living in the countryside or those whose grown-up children don’t live with them, are not able to use the Internet or smartphones，either because of financial (财政的) problems or because they cannot learn new things beyond a certain point. The digital gap between the elderly and the young is becoming more obvious.However, the senior citizens should not become a silent group deprived of digital benefits. It is our responsibility to help them bridge the digital gap, and be patient with them when they face difficulties catching up.7. What do the statistics show in Paragraph 2?A. There are a small number of senior citizens in China.B. Only 23% of the senior citizens can use the computer.C. Three fourths of the elders are unwilling to use smartphones.D. Many elders fail to enjoy the convenience of the digital devices.8. What does the author try to tell us?A. Cash is no longer accepted in most shops.B. It’s a must for everyone to have a health code.C. Most elders need guidance on how to use the apps.D. Many shops now refuse to offer service to the elderly.9. The elderly can’t enjoy digital benefits for the following reasons EXCEPT_____.A. their living areasB. their financial conditionsC. their relationship with childrenD. their difficulty in learning new things10. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to the current situation of the elderly?A. PositiveB. WorriedC. NegativeD. Indifferent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。

ABack in March, when the COVID-19 virus had just started its deadly influence across the country and people were terrified about a lack of every daily necessity, Jonny Blue focused on one particularly urgent need. Blue, a 33-year-old doctor saw reports of people buying and storing toilet paper. He came up with a simple yet clever solution.One Saturday morning, Blue took a piece of cardboard, wrote “Share Your Toilet Paper” on it in huge letters, and camped out on the street corner. “It just inspired me to remind people that if you have a lot of something, that probably means there are people who don’t have very much of it because you took it all,” Blue said. “So sharing it is probably a good thing to keep in mind.”The response was immediate and positive, with motorists honking horns(鸣笛) in support. Drivers stopped to drop off spare rolls of toilet paper, and, just as quickly, Blue handed them out.“This guy said he just ran out and was going to a bunch of stores and couldn’t find any,” Blue said as cars went by. “Somebody had given me some, so I gave it to him. He was excited. He was like, ‘Do you want me to pay you?’ I said, ‘No, man. Take it.’”A moment later, a driver in a white pickup truck slowed down just enough to take out a roll to add to Blue’s collections.“People are loving it,” Blue said. “They’re honking, smiling, laughing. It’s kind of a hard time right now. People want a sense of community.”1. What were people worried about at the beginning of the COVID-19 virus?A. Unfriendly neighbors.B. Expensive toilet paper.C. Lack of medical support.D. Not enough daily necessities.2. What is the purpose of Blue’s action?A. To stop buying and storing.B. To encourage toilet paper sharing.C. To advise people to save toilet paper.D. To help people live a healthy lifestyle.3. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to ?A. Drivers.B. Letters.C. Motorists.D. Rolls of toilet paper.4. Which of the following best describes Blue?A. Professional.B. Humorous.C. Warm-hearted.D. Outgoing.5. What can be a best title for the text?A. The Toilet Paper SharingB. Lack of Daily NecessitiesC. Influences of COVID-19D. Useful Advice from a Doctor【答案】1. D 2. B 3. D 4. C 5. ABJeremy grew up being active in sports. But he never thought about healthy eating until he found himself gaining weight several years after college. Last week, Jeremy hit a turning point when he found that he was too out of shape to play in a company football team. He decided to change his eating habits.The first step Jeremy took toward healthy eating was to stop going to fast-food restaurants. Jeremy used to eat fast food as often as 4 times a week. To his surprise, he found that giving up fast food wasn’t that difficult. Now, he says, “I don’t even like it anymore.” When Jeremy does go out to eat, he tries to pick menu items that he knows arehealthier. He orders salads and lower-fat sandwiches instead of hamburgers, and he drinks water instead of soda pop. “I try to order things that are already prepared the way I would like them to be prepared.”Planning meals has been a key to Jeremy’s success. It helps him avoid getting too hungry and eating fast food. Each week he plans what he will eat for each meal, and he shops for groceries (食品杂货) with his plan in mind. “It’s a lot easier to make healthy choices when you’re just planning ahead for it.” Rather than cutting out certain foods, Jeremy sometimes includes his favourite foods in his eating plan. “That way I don’t feel like I’m letting myself down by not sticking to my plan.”Jeremy’s friends and family noticed when he started eating healthier. They have helped him to make a habit of his healthy eating changes. “It made me feel pretty good, especially when people started making comments about the changes I was making,” he says. “You just get the positive energy.”6. What made Jeremy decide to change his eating habits?A. Higher food prices.B. Weight gain in college .C. Dislike of unhealthy foods.D. Failing to join a football team.7. What did Jeremy think of giving up fast food?A. It was too easy for him.B. It made him uncomfortable.C. It was not as difficult as he thought.D. It meant stopping going out to eat.8. What played the most important role in Jeremy’s healthy eating?A. Eating less at mealtimes.B. Making plans ahead of time.C. Following his friends’ advice.D. Cutting out all unhealthy foods.9. How does Jeremy feel about people’s comments?A. Surprised.B. EncouragedC. Worried.D. Interested.10. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Health.B. Science.C. Education.D. Entertainment.【答案】6. D 7. C 8. B 9. B 10. ACJose Adolfo is a banker from Peru. He encourages children to save money and offers his customers cash for recycling plastic wastes. But the remarkable thing is that he is still a child himself.By the age of 7, he decided to create a bank for children. He was motivated by seeing his classmates skipping lunch because they had spent the little money they had on sweets or football cards. What drove him even more was the poverty he saw among children.With the support of a local company, the 14-year-old founded the Bartselana student bank which now has more than 2,000 customers between the ages of 10 and 18. Children can withdraw (提取) money from several cashpoints of the bank. They can also monitor their balances online. What makes it different from traditional banks is that it sets savings goals for children. They have to reach those goals in order to withdraw their money.The student bank really took off when he came up with the “Recycle Plan”, a new way for the children to earn money by collecting recyclable plastic or paper waste. Students can bring recyclable plastic bottles, used school books and old newspapers to the schools and put them into the collecting boxes. The recycling is weighed and the money goes to their bank accounts.The bank recycles 4.4 tons of material a month and has collecting boxes in seven schools in Arequipa. More are on a waiting list. Increasingly the model is in demand in the rest of Peru and abroad.His efforts have been noticed by Peru’s environment ministry. “He’s making an amazing change in financial (理财的) education that perhaps many adults could not come up with,” said the Peru’s environment minister, Lucia Ruiz. “He’s achieving a double goal because he’s not just designing a financial opportunity for children and teenagers but also helping to reduce waste in the country.”11. Why did Jose create a bank for children?A. To help poor children.B. To provide free lunch.C. To offer outdoor activities.D. To improve school condition.12. What is special about the student bank ?A. It makes saving goals.B. It monitors the balance.C. It has several cashpoints.D. It serves customers online.13. According to paragraph 4, students can earn money by _______ . .A. using less plastic bottlesB. using old school booksC. collecting plastic wastesD. cleaning collecting boxes14. What can we know about the “Recycle Plan” ?A. It’s typical.B. It’s successful.C. It’s risky.D. It’s well-organized .15. According to Lucia Ruiz, why is Jose’s job meaningful?A He gave money to poor children.B. He taught children how to spend money.C. He helped adults receive financial education.D. He contributed to financial education and recycling.【答案】11. A 12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D2019-2020学年广东省惠州市高一英语第二学期期末试卷第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Good home with experience needed as soon as possible!”I had no experience with baby hedgehogs. I was an animal person through and through and had raised cats, dogs, birds, and guinea pigs. But this tiny animal was new to me, and it touched me that he was abandoned, that maybe I could love him and be the best mom for him.I wrote the most heartfelt email I could. That was how I found my Louie. True to my word, he was my baby. Louie didn’t know he was a hedgehog. He never curled (蜷缩) into a ball, and he liked my two cats, no fear. The cats, however, were afraid of him, as he often moved into the room, running after the cats and blocking my way.By the time he reached old age, Louie had only three feet. However, he still managed to climb the stairs to visit other animals. He helped me realize my dream of hedgehog photography, a hobby that began during childhood with cats and dollhouses. I love showing off his modeling.Life has meaning because of the purpose we have. Louie needed a good home and mom, and in return, I got to be a good mother and be needed. Hedgehogs require great amounts ofpatience, trust, and knowledge—but the payoff (回报) is pretty great.4．The author got Louie from.A．a pet shop B．a family friendC．a hedgehog owner D．a hedgehog rescue center5．How did Louie seem to feel at the author’s home?A．Frightened.B．Relaxed.C．Lonely.D．Tired.6．What can we learn about Louie from paragraph 4?A．He disliked climbing stairs.B．He enjoyed being left alone.C．He always refused to be in photos.D．He was active despite his difficulty inmoving.7．What does the author say about raising Louie?A．It was easier than expected.B．It gave her a sense of safety.C．It made her lose her patience.D．It was satisfying and meaningful.Artificial Intelligence (AI) has greatly sped up how long it takes to sort, label and analyze(分析) animal sounds—as well as to figure out which aspects of those sounds might carry meaning. One day we’ll be able to use AI to build a chat box that translates complex(复杂的) animal sounds into human language. Project CETI is just one organization working toward this goal.“AI could eventually get us to the point where we understand animals, but that’s hard to deal with and long-term,” says Karen Bakker, a researcher at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. “Some species have been on the planet longer than humans. Some species could go extinct before we figure out their language,” Bakker adds. “Besides, the idea of walking around with an animal translator may seem cool, but many animals might not be interested in chatting.”“Why would a bat want to speak to you?” she asks. What interests her is what we can learn from how bats and other creatures talk amongst each other.“We should listen to nature and ask the animals’ requirements in order to better protect them,” she argues. For example, a system set up to record whales or elephants can also track their locations. This can help our boats avoid whales or protect elephants from poachers (偷猎者).Protection is one goal driving Project CETI. “If we understand sperm whales better, we will be better at understanding what’s troubling them,” says Gašper Beguš, a linguist at the University of California, Berkeley. Learning that a species has something very similar to language or culture could also inspire people to work harder to protect it.When we protect an animal that has some version of language or culture, we’re not simply protecting nature and we’re also saving a way of life. Marine biologist Denise Herzing says that animals are supposed to have a healthy environment so that their cultures can develop well. 8．What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A．We can tell the complex animal behavior.B．We will find ways to talk with animals.C．We can share our language with animals.D．We need conduct more research on animals.9．Bakker thinks that understanding animals’ language fully is ______.A．difficult.B．costly.C．harmful.D．worthless. 10．How can we protect the animals effectively according to Paragraph 3?A．By learning about their needs.B．By setting up shelters for them.C．By mapping out their locations.D．By living peacefully with them. 11．Which statement does Herzing probably agree with?A．Animals’ culture should be given up.B．Saving nature means saving ourselves.C．Short-term and long-term goals need to be set.D．Animals should be in a healthy natural world.Researchers from the University of Western Australia recently studied 3,000 middle and high school students. Among them were 618 teenagers with one parent who lived away from home for long periods of time because of work. The researchers wanted to know how the work of these "fly-in, fly-out" parents might influence the health of their children.A higher percentage of teenagers who experienced the long work absence of a parent had emotional（情感的）or behavioral problems compared with those whose parents worked more traditional hours. This supports earlier research finding high percentages of emotional problems inteenagers who often returned to an empty house after school or whose parents were seldom at dinner.Findings also suggest that parents don't have to be home all the time to be present in their children's lives, but it helps to be home at certain times. And the best parental presence for a teenager may sometimes be like a potted plant.Many parents of teenagers have known this to be true and find ways to be present without trying to start a conversation. One friend of mine quietly does housework each evening in the sitting room where her teenagers watch TV.They enjoy one another's company without the need to talk. Another friend usually accepts his daughter's invitation to work or read nearby while she sits and does her homework. Perhaps, that, at least for some families, is the best way for a teenager and their parents to stay close.In fact, many years of research suggest that children use their parents as a safe base from which to explore the world. Studies tell us that young children quietly follow their parents' movements from room to room, even while carrying on with their own activities. Perhaps our teens, like babies, feel most at ease when their parents are still around. They don't want to stay away from parents who allow them freedom.A new school year is at hand, so as parents we could offer our teenagers a "potted flower" as a gift, whose quiet and steady（稳定的）presence will give them a great day.12．What's the purpose of the recent research?A．To show the necessity of parents' company all the time.B．To support earlier research on teenagers' emotional problems.C．To find connections between parents' long absence and children's health.D．To compare "fly-in, fly-out" parents with those working traditional hours13．What can we learn from the passage?A．To talk is perhaps the best way for a family to stay close.B．Teenagers often at dinner with their parents are problem-free.C．The 618 teenagers in the study may have trouble with feelings.D．Teenagers and parents enjoy doing housework and watching TV together14．What does the underlined phrase "a potted plant" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Giving children a great day.B．Being present in children's life.C．Allowing children enough freedom.D．Staying with children quietly and steadily. 15．Why do parents need to be at home at certain times?A．To guide children to explore the world B．To take good care of children as babies.C．To provide examples for children to follow.D．To shelter children and make them relaxedLife can be busy or stressful at times. Usually, we forget how important it is to listen ourselves. 16 .Sparing room for good things in your lifeLife gets much simpler and more enjoyable when you clear your physical and emotional bad things. And there’s so much you can let go of in life without losing a thing. It’s called growth.17 . You cannot discover new oceans unless you build up enough courage to lose sight of the old.Putting your purpose and passion (热情) into the things you do18 . So learn to believe in your heart that you’re meant to live each day full of purpose and passion—that every moment is worthy in its own way. Too often we wait because we think we need to “find” something new or different to be fond of. But that’s not true. If you want more passion in your life right now, act accordingly right now. Put your whole heart into the things you do. 19 , but the chance right in front of you. Not into tomorrow’s tasks, but today’s tasks. Not into tomorrow’s run, but today’s run.20All the small things make a big difference. Every step is important. Life isn’t about a single moment of great success. It’s about the trials and errors (试错) that slowly get you there—the sweat, tears, and all the small things you do on a day-to-day basis. They all matter in the end—every step, every regret and every decision.A．Choosing to start todayB．Not into tomorrow’s chancesC．Remembering that every step mattersD．Letting go of the old makes way for the newE．So what you need to remember most right now is to shareF．Purpose is the reason you journey and passion is the fire that lights your wayG．Here below are some things in life that you have to keep on doing to change that二、完形填空One day, Miss Ellis gave her pupils a new kind of homework: homework on happiness.

AI was small for my age. I was shy and sometimes it was hard for me to make friends with others. However, learning came fairly easy for me. I was the best in most of my classes, but PE class was my nightmare (噩梦) and made me feel that I was not as good as the others. Miss Forsythe was our PE teacher. She was young and energetic. Everyone liked her. She said that we all had to come to her classes. No one could hide from Miss Forsythe!One day she told me that she wanted me to play a game with another girl in a PE show. I was rather worried that I wouldn’t do a good job as she explained her idea, but she was excited. With her encouragement, I had no choice but to agree.It was a "boy meets girl" game. I played the boy and my classmate, Margaret Ann, played the girl. We were dressed in evening clothes and danced around the floor. According to Miss Forsythe, I had to pick up Margaret Ann when we finished the dance. Since I was not strong enough to pick the tallest girl up, it was she who picked me up. I suddenly felt ten feet tall! It was a huge success and everybody applauded (鼓掌) for our excellent performance. What a wonderful ending! Afterwards, I smiled confidently (自信地).Miss Forsythe’s understanding and willingness to create a place for me in her show (which certainly did not need me) gave me some much needed confidence. She was and always will be my favorite teacher.1. What do we know about Miss Forsythe?A. She was good at dancing.B. She was a strict and understanding teacher.C. She liked to play games with the students after class.D. She taught students how to dance.2. How did the author feel about the game at first?A. She was excited.B. She thought it would be fun.C. She was disappointed.D. She was nervous.3 It can be inferred from the passage that ___________.A. Miss Forsythe had planned the game that way on purpose (故意地)B. Miss Forsythe helped the author pick up the tallest girlC. the author was afraid when she felt ten feet tallD. the author lost confidence by dancing with her classmate4 What is the best title for the passage?A. Our PE Teacher —Miss ForsytheB. My School LifeC. My Nightmare —PE ClassesD. A Game with My ClassmateBMost people in Europe visit the Alps (阿尔卑斯山脉) in France, Austria, Italy or Switzerland in winter on their skiing holidays. I visited the Alps in mid summer. Obergurgl, 1,930 meters high, lies in Otzt覿l in the Austrian Alps. No village in Austria lies at a higher altitude than this one. There are many mountains of 3,000 meters and higher in this area, including the Wildspitze, Austria’s highest mountain, which rises to 3,772 meters.The first goal of my hike was to reach the Breslauer Hütte, at an altitude of 2,840 meters. This was the starting point for hikers that go to climb the Wildspitze. I didn’t climb the Wildspitze —although it was not a technically difficult mountain, I couldn’t climb it without a mountain guide. Besides, the weather decided whether or not we could go on a particular hike.I did go on another fantastic hike in the Vent area, however. From the Breslauer Hütte, I went on to the Vernagthütte, 2,766 meters high and a few more hours away from the Breslauer Hütte. This is a relatively easy hike, and the sights are magnificent (壮丽的)! Most of all, you are above the tree level here. There is nothing but rocks, ice and snow: this is my favorite part of the mountains. On the way back to the village of Vent, one came down gradually, and sheep were a common sight on the lower green meadows (草地).When I got back to the village of Vent, it was absolutely wonderful to drink a beer or a glass of buttermilk…5. From the passage we can learn that Obergurgl is _____.A. a village in AustriaB. not very highC. the highest mountain in AustriaD. the first goal on the author’s hike6 What can we learn from the passage?A. The author continued his hike from the Wildspitze.B. The author visited the Alps in winter for skiing.C. There is ice and snow in Vernagthütte in summer.D. The author liked the village of Vent best of all.7. Which of the following is the RIGHT order of the au thor’s hiking route?A. Obergurgl →Wildspitze →Breslauer Hütte →Vernagthütte →the village of VentB. Obergurgl →Wildspitze →Vernagthütte →Bres lauer Hütte, →the village of VentC. Obergurgl →Breslauer Hütte →the village of Vent →VernagthütteD. Obergurgl →Breslauer Hütte →Vernagthütte →the village of VentCDalton Ghetti has the smallest shoe you probably will ever see. No, he doesn’t have tiny feet. The shoe is a tiny boot on the tip of a pencil! Ghetti is an artist. He uses pencils to make many things.Today, a pencil can be sharpened (削尖) in a few seconds. When Ghetti was a child in Brazil, however, sharpening pencils was not easy. He didn’t have a pencil sharpener, so he had to sharpen his pencils using a knife. When he was 8 years old, Ghetti began using knives for more than just sharpening pencil tips. He began making designs in the wood of pencils, as well as in soap and chalk. Ghetti uses a knife and a sewing needle (针)to create his sculptures(雕刻). He doesn’t use a magnifying glas s(放大镜)on his tiny work of art. Instead, he works under a very bright light. He carves pencils for only about one and a half hours a day. If he works any longer, his eyes get tired."I have an interest in small things in life —insects, moths, spiders. I spend a lot of time watching them. There’s a whole tiny world that people don’t even notice." Most of Ghetti’s sculptures take months to complete, and some take years. Sculpting pencils may look fun, but you shouldn’t try this type of art yourself. Usin g a tool such as a knife is dangerous unless you’re very skilled like Ghetti.8. Why did Ghetti make the smallest shoe?A. Because he has little feet.B. Because he wanted to show his skills.C. Because he hadn’t seen a tiny shoe before.D. Because he is interested in it.9. We can learn from the passage that _________.A. the boot will be the smallest shoe in the worldB. Ghetti began making designs of tiny things when he was eightC. Ghetti used to use a magnifying glass to make his tiny artD. most of Ghetti’s sculptures take years to complete10 Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. How Dalton Ghetti creates his sculptures.B. Why Dalton Ghetti creates tiny things.C. How long Dalton Ghetti’s sculptures take.D. How mu ch Dalton Ghetti’s tiny things are.

Try to find out whether your teacher really dislikes you, or whether something else is going on. Here are some questions to ask yourself:16 Ask your classmates if they are having trouble with the teacher, too. If they say yes, perhaps your teacher is to blame.Are you working up to your ability? Maybe you got a C in your last test, and your teacher told you that you could do better. And the kid sitting beside you got a C, too. 17 Isn’t this unfair? Well, it could be that your teacher knows that you could do better if you put more effort into it. 1819 There’s nothing wrong with being s ensitive (敏感的) ，but if you react to criticism quite differently from others, this could be a reason why you think your teacher doesn’t like you.Does your teacher seem to act unfairly all the time, or just once in a while? Think about the harsh (苛刻的) things your teacher has done to you. Are these things happening every day, or just once or twice a month? If your teacher really hates you, you would probably be picked on all the time. 20A. Are you the only person being treated badly, or is your teacher rough on the whole class?B .Are you getting along well with your classmates?C. Are you more sensitive than other students?D. Are you interested in your lessons?E. If your teacher has acted unfairly only a few times, then there’s probably something else going on.F.Teachers often grade students by different standards.G.But the teacher didn’t say anything to him！第二节完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出适合填入对应空白处的最佳选项。

Monkeys are also known for acting silly.So,when kids act up,parents or teachers may tell them to stop monkeying around.It means to do things that are not useful or serious,or to simply waste time.Now,in the United States,children do not usually have monkeys as pets,but they do often have dogs.And dogs make most children feel happy.But for some reason,we use“dog”in a phrase that means to feel unwell.If you are as sick as a dog,you are really sick and will most likely stay home from work or school.Besides,dogs and cats are also favorite pets here in the States.This next phrase combines cats and secrets to make a very common expression.Let’s say you know a secret,a big secret.And let’s say you tell it to people.You have just let the cat out of the bag!This idiom means revealing (揭示)a secret or telling facts that were previously(先前)unknown.If you let the cat out of the bag,you spoil a surprise.So,if your friend is planning a big surprise birthday for another friend,don’t let the cat out of the bag by accidentally saying it in front of the birthday girl.Even though this is a very common idiom,the origin of“to let the cat out of the bag”is also unknown.If you are doing an outdoor activity--such as hiking in the woods,or having a picnic in a park--what are some things that may disturb your good time?Bad weather could.And so could bugs!Crawling pests like ants,and flying ones like mosquitoes,could make your experience uncomfortable or annoying.So,when we bug people we bother them so much that we affect their good time.This common expression is often said as a command:“Stop bugging me!”8.According to the passage,“monkeying around”is considered_______.A.sillyB.wrongC.properD.happy9.If you ask somebody to reveal a secret,you may use the phrase“_______”.A.stop bugging meB.as sick as a dogC.monkeying aroundD.let the cat out of the bag10.What is the meaning of the phrase“stop bugging me”?A.Don’t trouble me.B.Give up your good time.C.Stop feeling annoyed.D.Don’t comfort me.11.What is the passage mainly about?A.The names of animals in the English language.B.The meaning of some English phrases.C.The origins of phrases about animals.D.The strange usages of some words.DEverybody sleeps,but what people stay up late to catch or wake up early in order not to miss varies by culture.From data collected,it seems the things that cause us to lose the most sleep,on average,are sporting events,time changes,and holidays.Russia’s late nights and early mornings generally correspond(相一致)to public holidays.On New Year’s Eve,Russians have the world’s latest bedtime,hitting the hay at around3:30a.m. Russians also get up an hour later on International Women’s Day,the day for treating and celebrating female relatives.Similarly,Americans’late nights,late mornings,and longest sleep fall on three-day weekends.Canada got the least sleep of the year the night it beat Sweden in the Olympic hockey(冰球)final.The World Cup is also chiefly responsible for sleep deprivation.The worst night for sleep in the U.K.was the night of the England-Italy match on June14.British people stayed up ahalf-hour later to watch it,and then they woke up earlier than usual the next morning thanks to summer nights,the phenomenon in which the sun barely sets in northern countries in the summertime.That was nothing,though,compared to Germans,Italians,and the French,who stayed up around an hour and a half later on various days throughout the summer to watch the World Cup.It should be made clear that not everyone has a tool to record their sleep patterns;in some of these nations,it’s likely that only the richest people do.And people who select to track their sleep may try to get more sleep than the average person.Even if that’s the case,the above findings are still striking.If the most health-conscious(注重健康的)among us have such deep swings(明显改变)in our sleep levels throughout the year,how much sleep are the rest of us losing?12.What do we learn about the Russians regarding sleep?A.They don’t fall asleep until very late.B.They don’t sleep much on weekends.C.They get less sleep on public holidays.D.They sleep longer than people elsewhere.13.The underlined word“deprivation”in the last paragraph but one means_______.A.depressionB.troubleC.observationD.loss14.Why do some rich people use a tool to record their sleep patterns?A.They want to get more sleep.B.They have trouble falling asleep.C.They are involved in a sleep research.D.They want to go to bed on regular hours.15.What does the author imply in the last paragraph?A.It is important to study our sleep patterns.B.Few people really know the importance of sleep.C.Sleeplessness does harm to people’s health.D.Average people probably sleep more than the rich.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。
