第1页 共12页 ◎ 第2页 共12页绝密★启用前高二英语6月月考试题第I 卷(选择题)一、 阅读理解AWith over 2.4 millon visitors every year ,Cinque Terre is one of the most-visited regions in Italy. Cinque Terre is truly special. The five candy-colored fishing villages of Riomaggiore ,Manarola ,Comiglia ,Vemazza ,and Monterosso al Mare are built into cliffs over the clean and brightly-shining Ligurian Sea. Whether you're visiting the region for a few days or a few weeks ,these are the experiences you should add to your trip pleasure.★Take a scenic hike.It's easy to visit each of the attractive villages on foot. The most popular hike is the coastal path Sentiero Azzuro. It links all five villages and offers extremely beautiful scenery of the sea ,architecture and vineyards(葡萄园). It takes about six hours to go across ,with short breaks ,but most people are going to stop in the villages for food and swimming.★Eat seafood in a cone(锥形).Dessert lovers might think that Italian ice-cream is the best thing to be served in a cone but make room for seafood cones as well. Thanks to its coastal location, Cinque Terre is full of seafood restaurants.★Get on a boat.If the weather cooperates, take the time to get out on the water. The villages look very beautiful from a boat. The cheapest and easiest way is to jump on the public ferry from one of the villages to the next, but these boats are often crowded. It's far more relaxing to take a private cruise, which departs from the docks in Riomaggiore, Manarola, Vemazza, and Monterosso al Mare.★Take the train.Cinque Terre's train system is one of the most scenic in Europe. The high -speed trainruns through each of the five villages every 20 minutes or so. And the whole line is directly on the coast, offering lovely views of the Ligurian Sea and rocky cliffs. 1.What is special about the five candy -colored fishing villages?A .Their special location.B .Their long history.C .Their delicious foods.D .Their friendly villagers.2.What is the favorite food for the hikers in the five villages? A .Italian noodles B .Italian ice-cream. C .Italian wines.D .Seafood cones.3.What is the best way to enjoy the beautiful scenery and delicious food? A .Taking a private ferry to the villages. B .Walking with short breaks on the coast. C .Taking a scenic hike along the coastal path. D .Taking the train running through the villages.BWhen I was nine yean old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish.” I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids (眼皮) and the sun hum their eyes... The more I understood fish, the more I became第3页共12页◎第4页共12页effective at finding and catching them.When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like salespeople.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to pr omote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters. 4.Why was the author upset in the fishing trips when he was nine?A.He could not catch a fish.B.His father was not patient with him.C.His father did not teach him fishing.D.He could not influence a fish as his father did.5.What did the author’s father really mean?A.To read about fish.B.To learn fishing by oneself.C.To understand what fish think.D.To study fishing in many ways.6.According to the author, fish are most likely to be found .A.in deep water on sunny daysB.in deep water on cloudy daysC.in shallow water under sunlightD.in shallow water under waterside trees7.After entering the business world, the author found .A.it easy to think like a customerB.his father’s fishing advice inspiringC.his first boss’s sales ideas reasonable D.it difficult to sell services to poor peopleCA large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower. Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: How can willpower be strengthened? If willpower is truly a limited resource, as the research suggests, what can be done to make it stay strong?Avoiding temptation (诱惑) is an effective method for maintaining self-control, which is called the "out of sight, out of mind" principle. One recent study, for instance, found office workers less attracted to candy in the desk drawer than that on top of their desks, in plain sight.The research suggesting that we possess a limited reservoir of self-control raises a troubling question. When we face too many temptations, are we to fail? Not necessarily. Researchers don't believe that one's willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands. The right motivation allows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down. High motivation might help overcome weakened willpower-at least to a point.Willpower may also be made less vulnerable (脆弱) to being exhausted in the first place.Researchers who study self-control often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use. But there is another aspect to the muscle comparison, they say. While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength.The evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on New Year's Eve is the worst possible approach. Being exhausted in one area can reduce willpower in other areas, so it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time. In other words, don't try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time. Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, Baumeister says, you'll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior.第5页 共12页 ◎ 第6页 共12页Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and won't require making decisions at all. 8.From the studies in the passage we learn that ________. A .people have unlimited self-control B .high motivation ensures one's success C .too many temptations often lead to failure D .willpower is hardly completelyexhausted9.The underlined phrase "tap into" in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________. A .put up with B .make up for C .make use ofD .keep away from10.The author compares self —control to muscles ________. A .to explain the benefits of practicing self-control B .to show the significance of regular exercise C .to argue that self-control can he easily used up D .to prove the long-term effect of willpower11.To develop a good habit, which of the following does the author prefer? A ."I will give up dessert and do exercise." B ."I will set three goals this new semester." C ."I will read an English novel every month." D ."I will keep myself from any temptation."DWhy is it that you can remember the name of your childhood best friend that you haven't seen in years yet easily forget the name of a person you just met a moment ago ?In other words, why are some memories stable over decades, while others disappear within minutes ?Caltech researchers carried out their work about memories in the laboratory. The research team developed a test to examine mice's neural (神经的)activity as they learn about and remember a new place. In the test, a mouse was placed in a straight enclosure( 围 场 ), about 5 feet long with white walls. Unique symbols marked different locations along the walls.Sugar water (a treat for mice )was placed at either end of the track.When a mouse was placed in the track, it was unsure of what to do at first and wandered left and right until it came across the sugar water. In these cases, single neurons were activated when the mouse took notice of a symbol on the wall. Over numerous experiences with the track, the mouse became familiar with it and remembered the locations of the sugar water. As the mouse became more familiar, more and more neurons were activated when seeing each symbol on the wall. Essentially, the mouse was recognizing where it was with respect to each unique symbol.To study how memories disappear over time, the researchers then kept back the mice from the track for up to 20 days. Upon returning to the track after this break, mice that had formed strong memories encoded (编码)by higher numbers of neurons remembered the task quickly. Even though some neurons showed different activity, the mouse's memory of the track was clearly identifiable when researchers analyzed the activity of large groups of neurons.This work shows that memories might disappear more rapidly as we age because a memory is encoded by fewer neurons, and if any of these neurons fail, the memory will be lost. The study suggests that one day, designing treatments that could encourage a higher number of neurons to encode a memory could help prevent memory loss. 12.What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A .To introduce the topic of the text. B .To show the examples of bad memory. C .To compare different people's memories. D .To prove the importance of childhood memories. 13.During the research, the mouse _______ A .lost interest in the symbols soon B .had to climb over the long white wall第7页共12页◎第8页共12页C.would get sugar water as their rewardsD.wandered left and right nervously all the time14.What is special about the mice that remembered the task quickly after the break? A.They had their neurons show different activity.B.They love sugar water better than other mice.C.They stayed in the track for over 20 days.D.They possessed more activated neurons.15.What does the last paragraph imply?A.Mice's memory seems better than humansB.The aging process of humans is unavoidable.C.Memory loss is expected to be cured in the future.D.The study has found the way to prevent neurons from failing.二、七选五You've decided your child is spoiled(宠坏的),and you want to do something about it. Is it too late? Not necessarily。

About ninety years ago most people shopped in small stores that were owned by one person or a family. Women went from the bakery to the butcher's to the grocer and on to the fruit and vegetable seller in order to get their food for the week.Then about sixty years ago, supermarkets were born. In a supermarket, people could get all the different kinds of food they needed without going to different stores.The next big change in shopping in the United States was the shopping mall.A shopping mall is a group of stores under one roof. Because malls allowed people to shop without worrying about the weather, they soon became very popular. The mall became a place for people to socialize in addition to shopping. If you walk through a mall, you will see older people sitting, chatting and drinking coffee. Malls are places for teenagers to hang out. Many teens will often just "go to the mall" and spend time with their friends.The recent change in American shopping was the superstore. Large chain stores such as Wal-Mart, Office Depot and Toys "R" Us have been built all across the United States. Because they are so large, they can buy goods at a great discount and sell them much cheaper than smaller stores.Sometimes, when they are built near small towns, many of the small town stores have to close. They just cannot compete with their giant neighbors.And now, online shopping is becoming more and more popular all over the States. People are too busy to go to the physical stores, so they go shopping over theInternet. Online shopping has lots of advantages. For instance, online stores are usually available 24 hours a day. Searching or browsing online shops can be faster than browsing the physical stores. While, online shopping also has its disadvantages. People are at higher risk of being cheated on the part of the merchant than in a physical store. And privacy of personal information may be let out.24.Which of the following shows the right order of shopping development in the United States?①small stores ②superstores③shopping malls ④shopping online⑤supermarketsA. ①②③④⑤B.①⑤③②④C. ②③④①⑤D. ①⑤②③④25. Which is the place for people to spend time with others according to thepassage?A. Shopping malls.B. Small stores.C. Supermarkets.D. Superstores.26 Why can the superstores sell products at much lower prices?A. Because they are built near small towns.B. Because they are across the United States.C. Because they sell all kinds of products people need.D. Because they can buy goods at a reduction in the price.27. What's the disadvantage of online shopping according to the passage?A. Wasting time.B. Fixed prices.C. Leaking personal information.D. No chance to do physical activitiesCAre your eyes irritated, dry, watery, blurry, seeing double or sensitive to light, and do your back and neck ache? If so, you are likely one of many people today who suffer from digital eyestrain, also called computer-vision syndrome.Eyestrain is often related to the amount of exposure to screens, the distance from eyes to screens and the use of multiple screens simultaneously. However, studies have also shown that the blue light produced by digital devices today reaches further into the eyes than other kinds of light. This light actually assists attention during the day but can result in interrupted sleep patterns at night.Scientists have also said that eyestrain is not a necessary evil, even in a modern world that revolves around technology. Changing some simple details about your relative position to screens, such as staying about 60 centimeters away, will help. Also, avoid overhead and other direct sources of light, and use shaded lamps and window blinds while looking at digital devices instead.Beyond the way that relates to digital screens, there are also ways to change how you view screens that are helpful in combating eyestrain. To begin with, your computer screen should be high-resolution(高清的), at least 50 centimeters wide diagonally and may require a screen filter to decrease reflections. Als o, be aware that “computer glasses〞, which cut down glare and blue light, are available and those contact lenses can increase the risk ofeyestrain.Besides, to reduce your risk for computer-vision syndrome and neck, back and shoulder pain, take frequent breaks during your computer workday. Many workers take only two 15-minute breaks from their computer throughout their day. According to a recent study, discomfort and eyestrain are significantly reduced when computer workers take four additional five-minute “mini-breaks〞throughout their workday. And these additional breaks don’t reduce the workers’ productivity.Finally, many of us fall into bad habits while using digital screens that only worsen the effects of eyestrain. While viewing digital screens, many people blink one third less often than they usually do. Place a reminder on your computer to “blink〞so that your eyes don’t dry out. Also, rest your eyes’ focusing muscles by using the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, focus on something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.28.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A.The causes of eyestrain.B. The dangers of eyestrain.C.The symptoms of eyestrain.D. The effects of eyestrain.29.Which of the following ways might not be helpful in relieving eyestrain?A. Breaking bad habits.B. Employing blue light.C. Adjusting your position.D. Changing your hardware.30.It can be inferred from the passage that_______ .A. overhead lights make the eyes less tiredB. taking frequent breaks reduces eyestrainC. people tend to blink more often at a computerD. technology and eyestrain unavoidably go hand in hand31.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?DGive yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child’s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb to new stimulation(刺激(cìjī)) and new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we weregoing to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they’d felt cold water at first.The pressures of "time" and "destination" are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. "Oh, a few birds," they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life. 32.According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more ____________.A.anxious to do wondersB.sensitive to others’ feelingsC.likely to develop unpleasant habitsD.eager to explore the world around them33.What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?A.To avoid jumping to conclusions.B.To stop complaining all the time.C.To follow the teacher’s advice.D.To admit mistakes honestly.34.Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey? A.They focus on arriving at the camp in time.B.The forest in the dark is dangerous for them.C.The na tural beauty isn’t attractive to them.D.They are keen to see rare birds at the destination.35.In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should __________.A.try our best to protect natureB.get rid of some bad habits in our daily lifeC.open our mind to new things and ideasD.fill our senses to feel the wonders of the world第二节〔一共(yīgòng)5小题;每一小题3分,满分是15分〕根据短文内容,从短文后的选项里面(lǐmiàn)选出能填入空白处的最正确选项,选项里面有两项为多余选项。

高二下学期6月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解International ApplicationThe University of Cambridge welcomes applications from suitably qualified international students. We recognize the great academic and cultural value of a diverse student body. Admitting students from outside the UK allows us to seek talent from the widest possible pool.Attracting so many talented international applicants means competition for places is fierce. However, academic achievement and potential remain the selection criteria for senior high school candidates.The application processThe application process is the same for all applicants. Whilst much of the information presented on this website is focused on GCE, and A Levels, many other school and national examinations at an equal level are also acceptable.All applications to UK universities are made through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS), which operates on a pre-qualification basis where offers are made in advance of applicants achieving their final grades. Offer holders are finally confirmed or rejected once the results for the relevant qualifications are received.UCAS will require applicants’ predicted grades. A predicted grade is the grade of qualification an applicant’s school believes they are likely to achieve, all things being well. These predicted grades are used during the admissions process to help the University understand each applicant’s potential.For a step-by-step guide, please refer to our main Applying pages.Application feeMost international applicants are required to pay an application fee of £60. This is a standard charge that supports the administration of the application process and maintenance of the systems used in this process. See Terms and conditions of the application fee.1.Why does the Cambridge university welcome overseas students?A.They are foreigners.B.They are more qualified than local students.C.They will provide diversity for the campus.D.They will be recognized by the UK government.2.Which of the following is true about the application process?A.Gaokao results can play a part.B.International experience is a must.C.An offer is the guarantee of admission.D.Applicant’s school can predict the result.3.Who would be the most likely target reader of the text?A.A British twelfth grader.B.A Hong Kong eleventh grader.C.A student in Peking University.D.A junior high school student from Beijing.Ms. McIntyre, 38, worked as a publisher. She suffered brain cancer and her health got worse despite some medical treatment. But she realized that in a way, she was luckier than some other people. She had insurance to help pay for her medical care. But Ms. McIntyre and her husband, Mr. Gregory, knew that many people with cancer face tough decisions because of the costs of medical care and wind up owing far more than they can pay.Though her health was failing, Ms. McIntyre decided to help pay off the medical debts of as many people as she possibly could. The couple began donating money to a group called RIP Medical Debt, which is committed to working to pay off the unpaid medical debts of others. The group can pay off medical bills for about 100 times less money than they cost. In other words, for every 100 donated, the group can pay off 10,000 in unpaid medical bills.Unfortunately, Ms. McIntyre passed away before long. Mr. Gregory posted a message for Ms. McIntyre on her social media accounts. “If you’re reading this, I have passed away,” the post began. Then the post explained, “To celebrate my life, I’ve arranged to buy up others’ medical debts and then destroy the debts.”The couple had set up a page on a website to raise money for this purpose. They had hoped to raise about $20,000. Nevertheless, Ms. McIntyre’s last post attracted a lot of attention. The donations on her web page quickly passed the total goal. In less than a week, the site had raised 10times more than expected and the donations are still coming in. By November 22, 2023, Ms. McIntyre’s web page had raised over $627,000, or enough money to pay off about $60 million in medical debts.Mr. Gregory planned a special event in December to celebrate Ms. McIntyre’s life and to announce how many millions of dollars of medical debts her efforts had paid for.4.Why did Ms. McIntyre feel luckier than some other people?A.The doctors eventually cured her.B.Her disease didn’t become worse.C.She had a decent job before being ill.D.She had security about medical care. 5.How did Ms. McIntyre and her husband help others?A.By paying for their daily debts.B.By giving away money to them.C.By ridding them of debts from treatments.D.By purchasing medical insurance for them. 6.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A.The public involvement.B.The couple’s commitment.C.The operation of a website.D.The increase of medical debts.7.Which of the following words can best describe Ms. McIntyre?A.Humorous and elegant.B.Influential and understanding.C.Cautious and promising.D.Enthusiastic and adaptable.Addiction to watching seven episodes of Real Housewives or “wasting” the afternoon watching back-to-back classic baseball games isn’t going to melt our brains. In fact, studies suggest that “playing a video game or watching a movie or television show can restore some psychological resources,” says Robin Nabi, PhD, a professor of communication at the University of California, Santa Barbara, who specializes in the effects of media on emotions.Though the benefits have yet to be studied long-term and our problems don’t magically disappear once we turn off the tube, rest can reduce stress levels. Giving ourselves permission to enjoy some downtime is also a key part of self-sympathy, which helps prevent anxiety and depression.“We don’t focus as much on relaxation and playing and enjoyment and fun, and these are such important aspects of being a human being,” says Nabi. “And feeling guilty about activities we enjoy, or criticizing them, can detract (损害) from the benefits they offer us.”Therefore, it’s time to embrace our need for pleasure. One big reason to do so is that talking about our common interests and pursuits, whatever they may be, is a way to connect with others. The most important value of a guilty pleasure might just be the bond it can create between people who share it. You’ll never find those connections if you don’t speak up. So stop apologizing. You might just find that it reduces any remaining guilt and makes it easier to discover more things you enjoy.“Lots of the time, guilty pleasures get talked about in terms of genre (类型),” says Nabi. But it can help to think about what you like specifically, she points out. “You probably don’t like all boy bands, so what is it about this particular group and their music? Whatever it is, find your little niche and go for that. And don’t be ashamed of what that is, because clearly it’s doing something for you.”8.How does the author introduce the topic of the passage?A.By listing examples.B.By giving definitions.C.By making a contrast.D.By providing background information.9.What does Nabi think of people’s guilty feeling about pleasure?A.It is normal.B.It is beneficial.C.It is confusing.D.It is unnecessary.10.What does the underlined word “niche” in the last paragraph refer to?A.A job someone is responsible for.B.An activity suitable for someone.C.A pleasure bringing someone guilt.D.A small case someone cares little about.11.Which of following opinions would the author agree with?A.Don’t be addicted to entertainment.B.Develop new hobbies to reduce pressure.C.View our demand for pleasure positively.D.Stay away from guilty pleasures.That’s why I want speaking skills, sometimes called “oracy”, to play an important part in Labor’s plans for a reformed school curriculum (课程).Employers value speaking skills equally with reading and writing. The ability to speak well and express yourself should be something every child should master. But the curriculum doesn’t allow us to provide this. This is short-sighted. An inability to express your thoughts fluently is a key barrier to getting on and doing well in life.Oracy is in part about good public speaking and debating skills, but in reality, it’s about teaching young people to make strong arguments, choose wise words, understand their audience, form meaningful social connections, and use facial expressions and body language to convey their message. Above all else it’s about finding your voice. To work out who you are and what you believe. If reading opens up a world of imagination and possibility, then speaking and listening opens up a lifetime of empowerment-a chance for those who feel invisible in their own country to be heard. It is about the confidence to speak out, to call out injustice or harm.And the other side of speaking is listening, which can also be taught. Listening, truly listening, develops tolerance and understanding. And as parents we can play our part. We’ve all been there, at mealtimes, silent as we all stare at our devices. Our job, all of ours, is to get off our screens and give young people, and adults, the gift of listening.So, oracy―speaking and listening―needs to be placed firmly at the heart of school life. 12.How does talk help a politician?A.It deepens his wishful thinking.B.It enhances his analytical skills.C.It strengthens persuasive power.D.It provides emotional support.13.Why does the author suggest a reform in the British school curriculum?A.Employers underestimate the value of speaking.B.Academic pressure makes students poor-sighted.C.Spoken language is regarded as least important.D.Oracy should deserve more attention at school.14.How does the author illustrate his argument in paragraph 4?A.By sharing different opinions.B.By clarifying the definition.C.By describing personal experiences.D.By employing the concept.15.What are parents advised to do?A.Set a good example for their children.B.Balance screen time and mealtime.C.Have oral face-to-face communication.D.Disconnect from the virtual world.Americans use many expressions with the word “dog”. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. 16 However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dog’s life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence.Some people say we live in a dog eat dog world. 17 They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.18 This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.19 People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We say his bark is worse than his bite.Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard.20A.Furthermore, people say every dog has its day.B.Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways.C.In other words, we do not want it to rain cats and dogs.D.There are many other expressions waiting for you to explore.E.Dogs are their best friends and they are loyal to people whatever happens.F.That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs.G.They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food.二、完形填空My son was playing with a bottle of bubbles.

Most countries also have private (私立的) education. This means that parents can pay to send their children to certain schools. People who agree with this system say that it gives parents a larger choice of schools. Other people think that private schools give the children who go to them an unfair advantage over other children.At the age of three, many children go to nursery school. Two or three years later, they enter a primary school. At the age of 11 they go to a secondary school. In some countries this is called a high school. Then they may have a chance of continuing their studies at a university or college.Universities and colleges are places where some young people go to continue their education after leaving school. Most university students study one main subject, though they may also study a number of others. Teaching is usually by lectures, or by discussions between a lecturer and students.Most students stay at university for three or four years. At the end of that, they take an examination. If they pass, they receive their Bachelor's degree, usually a BA, which is short for Bachelor of Arts, or a BSC for Bachelor of Science. Some students study for several more years in order to get higher degrees, such as an MA or a PhD.Most university courses don't train students to do a certain job. Colleges, on the other hand, usually teach skills which enable students to follow a career(职业), such as clothing design, or business studies.56.The passage mainly tells us _____.A. something about the private schools in developed countriesB. how developed countries pay special attention to educationC. some general information about education in developed countriesD. why education is important57. Why do most developed countries provide free education to children?A. Because the children don't have money to go to school.B. Because the governments want their citizens to be useful to the country.C. Because education doesn't cost the countries too much money.D. Because there are not enough private schools.58. In the first paragraph the underlined word "citizen" refers to _____.A. the citiesB. members of a countryC. the childrenD. people who live in cities59. Which of the following statements is true according to this passage?A. All the university students study one subject.B. After staying at the university for three or four years, all the students can get aBachelor's degree.C. Students usually receive a Master's degree before receiving a Bachelor's degree.D. Unlike university, colleges usually teach students some useful skills for a career.60. Which of the following word groups do you think are the same as the word "enable"(in the last sentence) in the way they are formed?A. encourage; enlarge; enrichB. energetic; enjoy; encourageC. enthusiastic; envelope; enterD. enlarge; entrance; enoughBFor a long time being happy was considered something that just happened, and there was nothing special to do about it. Now we know that getting along with ourselves and with other people is something that we can work at. It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better. One way is being unselfish; not wanting everything our own way or demanding the best share of everything, including the attention of our friends. Another way is to look for good points, not bad ones in other people, it is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be.You don't have to be spineless (无骨气的) in order to be popular. In fact, you will be liked and respected if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights. But do it politely and pleasantly. Being friendly and polite to your own group, to older people, to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you is one way to develop a good character.You cannot expect to be perfect, and so you must learn not to be too unhappy when you make a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed (责备) unless he refuses to learn from them. Many young people become discouraged when they recognize in themselves qualities that they do not like—selfishness, laziness, and other unpleasant qualities. Just remember that we all have some of these faults and have to fight against them.At the same time, it is very important to be confident in yourself. Although chances for you are not much better, you must believe you have better skills and can make it. That's the surest way to be happy.When something is wrong, it is best to try to make it right. Perhaps you don't like a teacher or a classmate. Try to see why, and look at yourself, too. To be sure that you are not doing something to make that person dislike you. In time, things may turn out all right, then you simply have to learn to get along the best you can with the situation, without thinking too much about it. Worrying never helps in a situation you can't change.61. One of the two ways the author suggests for us to get along well with others is _____.A. to draw attention to our friendsB. to demand the best share of everythingC. to look for treasure in order to be successfulD. to pay more attention to other people's strong points62. According to the passage, if one wants to be popular one needs to _____.A. be polite and friendlyB. give up some rightsC. avoid arguing with other peopleD. be ready to change his/her character63. The passage shows that there is no perfect person but someone should be blamed if he _____.A. makes a big mistakeB. is selfish and lazyC. does not draw a lesson from his own faultD. is very unhappy about his unpleasant quality64. The passage implies that in order to be a happy person, one should consider oneself _____.A. not better than othersB. not the same as othersC. as having better skills than othersD. as having better chances than others65. The purpose of this passage is to _____.A. train you to be perfectB. show you the way to be happyC. tell you how to act when you dislike a personD. teach you how to be popular among your friendsCPeople travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or other historic remains. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. Most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money for the sun because they have so little of it. People in cities like London, Copenhagen and Amsterdam spend much of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the year it rains. This is the reason why the Mediterranean has always attracted them. Every summer many people travel to Mediterranean resorts (度假胜地) and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason. Sun!The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italy's 30,000 hotels are booked without a break every summer. And 13 million people visited French beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit there yearly, or one tourist for each person living in Spain.But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism that it can deal with. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. None of this, however, is ruining anyone's fun. Obviously, visitors don't go there for clean water. They allow traffic jams and endure crowded beaches. They don't even mind thepollution. No matter how dirty the water is , the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it's still better than sitting in cold Berlin, London, or anywhere else.66. The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that _____.A. they want to see historic remainsB. they wish to escape from cold, dark and rainy daysC. they would like to take pictures in front of famous placesD. they are interested in different cultural and social customs67. According to the passage, which of the following countries attracts more tourists than the others?A. Italy.B. GreeceC. France.D. Spain.68. The underlined part in Passage 3, "one tourist for each person living in Spain" means _____.A. all the 37 million people living in Spain are touristsB. every person living in Spain has to take care of a touristC. every year almost as many tourists visit Spain as there are people living in that countryD. every family in Spain is visited by a tourist every year69. What does the underlined phrase "without a break" mean?A. 不休息B.不绝交C. 不间断D.不打碎70. According to the passage, which of the following might ruin the tourists' fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?A. Polluted waterB. Crowded busesC. Rainy weatherD. Traffic jamsDLong bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials (商业广告)thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. "Buy Super Clean Toothpaste." "Drink Good Wet Root Beer." "Fill up with Pacific Gas." Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of "You Need It! Buy It Now!"The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless (鲁莽的)or daring, the ride can be as thrilling (惊心动魄的)as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can makeyou very thirsty between stops.The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the armrests even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at no more ways to sit.71. According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?A. Buses on the road.B. Films on television.C. Advertisements on the billboards.D. Gas stations.72. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To give the writer’s opinion about long bus trips.B. To persuade you to take a long bus trip.C. To explain how bus trips and television shows differ.D. To describe the billboards along the road.73. The writer of this passage would probably favor _______.A. bus drivers who aren’t recklessB. driving aloneC. a television set on the busD. no billboards along the road74. The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because _______.A. the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are funB. they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in betweenC. the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on busesD. both traveling and watching TV are not exciting.75 The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are _______.A. excitingB. comfortableC. tiringD. boring第四部分书面表达(共两节,共45分)第一节:阅读表达(共5小题;每题3分,满分15分)阅读下面的短文,根据文章后所给的题目简答76-80题。

A.Michael. B.Jorge.C.Gauri. D.Gary.When I came to Cincinnati as an au pair (家庭打工留学生), a lot of things there were different from what I knew. My host family lived in a huge house I could only describe as a"castle".In Germany I had lived in a small apartment together with my mom. Soon I found out that the "castle" was actually rather small in our neighborhood.Everybody there was very friendly and polite. They greeted you when they were walking by at least 3 feet away from you. They must not have seen a German au pair before, for most people I met asked me all kinds of questions about Germany. I enjoyed answering their various strange questions. I made a lot of friends and I started to hang out with them.Of course, there were a number of new things, and it took me the whole year to find them all out.I never got homesick. Perhaps it was because I did not have too many negative experiences and felt loved and welcomed there.However, I had undergone some painful experiences back in Germany. I was frustrated by the way people would run me over and not even say "Sorry." Taking up my studies at theTU-Dresden, I felt lonely. Everybody here seemed to be withdrawn(离群的) and I missed everything I had in Cincinnati. Germany was so "cold". I found it so much harder to make new friends. After six months I got a roommate and only two good friends. I also flew back to Cincinnati several times for long periods. I felt that without those visits I was not able to make it.Now I am over this German culture shock. It almost took me an entire year. I am still going back and forward between Dresden and Cincinnati four times a year.4.When the author lived in Cincinnati, ________.A.she lived in a real castleB.some people were not very kind to herC.many people were curious about her motherlandD.she lived in the biggest house in the neighborhood5.In the opinion of the author, life in Cincinnati was________.A.wonderful B.hardC.painful D.strange6.The underlined word "undergone" in Paragraph 4 probably means________ A.welcomed B.acceptedC.expected D.suffered7.What is the best title for this passage?A.University life in Germany B.My culture shock experiences C.Advantages of living in USA D.How to be an au pair in USAHave you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name — phubbers(低头族).Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities(身份) bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real.Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to chec k your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.8.For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2?A.To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.B.To advertise the cartoon made by students.C.To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.D.To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.9.Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?A.His social skills could be affected.B.His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.C.He will cause the destruction of the world.D.He might get separated from his friends and family.10.Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing? A.Supportive. B.Opposed.C.Optimistic. D.Objective.11.What may the passage talk about next?A.Advice on how to use a cell phone. B.People addicted to phubbing. C.Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing. D.Consequences of phubbing.Younger students experience school bullying (欺凌) more frequently than older ones, and male students are bullied more than their female peers, a survey found.It also found that nearly half of the students had been intentionally hit or knocked down by classmates. About 6 percent said they are targeted by bullies on campus every day. The survey also found that students from ordinary schools experienced more bullying than peers from key institutions, and children from poor families are more likely to be bullied at school.Being bullied can have a negative impact on a child’s personal development and academic performance, according to Zhou Jinyan, a researcher who led the study at Beijing Normal University. 揅hildren being bullied will find it hard to trust others,? Zhou said. 揟hey may often feel anxiety, anger, resentment or depression. These emotions will further undermine their ability to control their own life.”In recent years, bullying on Chinese campuses has been frequently reported and has attracted widespread attention and concern. The most recent incident to arouse heated discussions took place in December at Beijing’s Zhongguancun No.2 Primary School. A fourth-grade student was bullied and laughed at by classmates, causing him acute stress disorder.The Supreme People’s Procuratorate (最高人民检察院) received about 1,900 cases related to school bullying in 2016. Meanwhile, there was a notable increase in bullying reports involving middle school students from 14 to 18 years old.Zhou came up with some ways to solve the problem, including boosting communication between teachers, parents and students and trying to establish more harmonious relationships among children. She said it was strongly suggested that parents try to be involved in their children’s educational experience, as their presence and companionship have proved effective in reducing bullying and its negative effects.12.Who is the most likely to become the target of bullying?A.A 10-year-old boy from a poor familyB.A 17-year-old boy from a rich familyC.A 17-year-old girl from an ordinary schoolD.A 10-year-old girl from a key school13.Being bullied will cause students to go through the following EXCEPT _____.A.a lack of trust in other peopleB.a drop in the sense of depressionC.a lack of ability to manage their lifeD.a drop in academic performance14.We can learn from the text that _____.A.bullying on campus has been brought into sharp focus by the mediaB.students who enjoy parents’ companionship will be bullying-freeC.the government should consider taking further action against bullying at school D.bullying at school usually leads to acute stress disorder15.What can be the best title for the text?A.Negative effects on children caused by bullyingB.Is anything we can do about bullying?C.The reasons for bullying on campusD.Bullying affects half of the students二、七选五How to Become a Top StudentSuccessful students use different techniques(技巧)to study,which brings them more success.16.Here are the four techniques almost all topper forming students use.They are regular. Almost all successful students study regularly,because they know “what you give is what you get”.If you put in regular hours of studying,then you will learn more and get better grades.17.This will help you to study regularly.They have clear goals. All topper forming students have definite,specific goals.18.They motivate(激发)you and drive you to study more. But make sure that you do not get carried away. Set realistic goals which can challenge(挑战)you,but do not seem impossible or too difficult to achieve.They study without pressure(压力).Successful students study a lot. But they studywithout putting strain on themselves. Most students make the mistake of studying too hard or studying continuously for a long time.19.Studying should be done in a balanced manner. Take a break for a few minutes,after studying for 30 or 45 minutes. Relax,walk around your room or house,or drink some water and return to studying. Such short breaks will refresh your brain and you will learn more.20.Studying is not something you do just because your parents ask you to do it. It's actually very important for you. Studying gives you knowledge and skills that will remain with you for the rest of your life. It gives you the ability to get a job and earn money. And successful students recognize the value of studying well.A.This creates tension and actually slows down learning and memory.B.But to score grade A in English,you should make well planned efforts.C.Set aside some hours,each day or each week,for studying.D.Having such goals gives you a purpose to study better.E.Learn their techniques,and you will also join their rank.F.They finish their homework on time.G.They give importance to study.三、完形填空When a mom attended school to help her disabled son, her son and the school thanked her in the sweetest way possible.

Both of my parents worked full-time when I was a little girl, so my grandmother would stay at our house during the day. We would watch game shows in the living room. Our favorite was The Price is Right. We would call out our answers along with the contestants.When I got older and started going to school, we couldn’t watch our game shows regularly. That was okay with me, though, because the one thing I liked better than watching game shows with my grandmother was helping her bake. Watching her in the kitchen was amazing: she never seemed to need the recipes but everything she made tasted delicious.At first I would just sit i n the kitchen and watch, even though I didn’t understand what she was doing. As I got older, she let me help with the easy parts, such as measuring the sugar. The day she let me separate the eggs,I felt like I had found plete pleasure.At last, my parents decided that I could take care of myself,and my grandmother stopped ing over every day. The love of baking, however, stayed with me. I started baking by myself, and even if the cookies ended up burnt sometimes, more often they turned out pretty well. I tried out new recipes, and whenever I got to a thorny part, I would call my grandmother for advice. Sometimes I would call her just to talk, too. I felt like I could talk to her about anything.My grandmother passed away ten years ago, but I still think of her every day. Last week, I found a recipe book she made for me. It included her recipes for brownies, cookies, and my favorite, lemon pie.As I looked through the pages, I thought I could hear her voice. She was the one who taught me not just about baking, but about life.21. The passage is developed in order of ______.A. timeB. placeC. logicD. events22. While helping her grandmother bake, the author _______.A. missed the game showsB. refused to go to schoolC. showed great interestD. could take care of herself23. What does the underlined word “thorny" in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A. Basic.B. mon.C. Difficult.D. Special.24. From the passage we know the author's grandmother _____.A. lived with her familyB. was very skilled at bakingC. published a recipe bookD. had been on a game showBGoing green seems to be a fad(时尚)for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can’t really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a l ifestyle.On April22, xx, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.Over the course of Our Green Year, we pletely changed our lifestyle. We now shop at organic (有机的) stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don’t need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites.

She uses the activity to teach vocabulary related to the home, chores, travel and vacation. She created the exercise because she wanted to incorporate her students' interests into the curriculum(课程). At the time, a group of her students were big fans of the show.The students look for a home for Westervelt to buy to live in, or rent for vacation. She tells them what she is looking for in a home and gives them a budget. Students work in groups of three, and each group is responsible for finding one house in a Spanish-speaking country that fits the requirements.The groups usually make a brochure describing the houses they find. Each group presents their findings to the class, while the other students take notes. The entire activity is done in Spanish, so students get to practice their writing, listening and conversation skills. They also get some cultural education when researching homes in Spanish-speaking countries. Westervelt says that students planning to take the class look forward to her project.Westervelt says, "I think any time that you can find a way to link into something that they are interested in outside of school, it makes it more realistic for them and it makes that activity much more enjoyable for them."29.

The coffee shop has bee a popular place for modern-day students and workers. It's less boring than the library, and yet it is still filled with the same energy as a school.There might be a good reason why students are drawn to social spaces like coffee shops for study.A recent study conducted by researchers in Belgium indicates that productivity may increase in coffee shops.As part of the study, about 40 participants were placed side-by-side in pairs and asked to undergo (经历)reaction-time tests. Each participant sat in front of a puter screen, which flashed different colored squares. The goal for each person was to hit the key on the keyboard that corresponded with each square. Though each participant worked separately, they were affected by how hard their neighbor was working. The researchers varied the difficulty levels of each person's test, and they found that if they paired a person working on a medium-difficult test with someone taking a very difficult test, the first person would work harder. Not only that, but the first person's accuracy would also improve."It seems like noticing that their partner is working hard motivated people to work hard too," a researcher explained. But the researchers couldn't exactly explain why. "One possibility is that the hard workers' body position got noticeably more tense. So next time you enter a coffee shop to study or work, sitting next to customers who are obviously in the zone may be a wise choice."33. Why do students prefer to study in coffee shops rather than in libraries?A. They can enjoy drinks while studying.B. It's less boring for them to study in a library.C.

He would possibly give up.C. He would achieve better results.D. He would change the difficulty level.35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Further research will be done in the future.B. Sit next to a hard worker if you want to study.C. Customers should sit tensely in a coffee shop.D. The researchers have fully explained the result.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。
