山西高二高中英语月考试卷班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.New friends. Fresh lifestyle. Better career opportunities…Those are attractions of overseas study for young people in China. “Start early, finish strong,” some of them say.More than 300 universities from 27 countries and regions were represented at last weekend’s international education exposition(展览).【1】If you want to have more chances of getting scholarship to study in a foreign country, you’d better choose .A．Canada B．the NetherlandsC．the US D．Australia【2】Many young people go to study in the US because .A．it is not very difficult for them to get a student visaB．it is easier for them to pass the TOFEL or GREC．they don’t spend much time applying to US universitiesD．they think they can receive good university education【3】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A．Students go to the Netherlands usually for its beautiful sceneryB．You can apply for your visa to study in Australia on the InternetC．You may have trouble with language if you study in ItalyD．The UK is the country with very high expenses2.Housework is a frequent source of disputes (争论) between lazy husbands and their hard-working wives, but women have been warned not to expect men to pull their weight any time soon.A study from Oxford University has found that men are unlikely to be doing an equal share of housework before 2050. Mothers, the researchers warned, will continue to shoulder the burden of childcare and housework for the next four decades, largely because housework such as cleaning and cooking is still regarded as “women’s work”. The gap between the amount of time men and women spend on housework has narrowed slowly over the past 40 years. But it will take another four decades before true housework equality (平等) is achieved, the study concluded.The research found that in the Nordic countries, the burden of housework is shared more equally between men and women. In the UK, women spend an average of four hours and forty minutes each day on housework, compared with two hours and twenty-eight minutes for men. This is an improvement from the 1960s, when British women typically spent six hours a day on housework, while men spent just 90 minutes every day.But progress towards housework equality appears to be slowing in some countries. Dr Oriel Sullivan, a research reader from Oxford’s Department of Sociology, said, “we’ve looked at what is affecting the equalit y in the home, and we have found that certain tasks seem to be given according to whether they are viewed as ‘men’s work’ or ‘women’s work’.”Dr Sullivan said cultural attitudes taught at school may be responsible for the views of housework. “At school it is much easier for a girl to be a tomboy, but it is much more difficult for a boy to enjoy baking and dancing,” she said.【1】The underlined part “pull their weight” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to “ __________ ”.A．lose weight B．be lazyC．earn money D．do equal housework【2】Women will continue to do more housework before 2050 mainly because _________ .A．men are too busy to helpB．they would like to do soC．they can do better in houseworkD．housework will still be considered as women’s work【3】From Paragraph 4 we know that in the UK ___________ .A．men now spend just 90 minutes a day on housework on averageB．women now are too busy with their work to do houseworkC．women now spend less time on housework than beforeD．housework is shared equally between men and women【4】In Dr Sullivan’s opinion, what is to blame for the housework inequality?A．Cultural attitudes towards housework.B．Policies made by the government.C．The time spent on work.D．The type of housework.3.Mom and Dad are two of the most important people in your life. You probably see at least one of them every day. If your dad worships(崇拜) the Pittsburgh Stealers, you’re likely to grow up being a big fan of that football team. And if your mom loves to read, you just might grow up carrying a book wherever you go, just like she does. Here are four ways you can stay close and build a strong relationship with your parents.(1)Spent time together. How much time do you spend just enjoying each other’s co mpany?Instead of playing a computer game or watching TV, maybe you can ask your mom and dad to play with you. Go outside together, try a board game, or read a book out.(2)Share your feelings and ask for help. Your mom or dad might not know that you’re ha ving a problem. Tell a parent if you’re sad or struggling with something.(3)Show your care. Some families are always kissing, hugging, and saying “I love you”. It’s important to show that you care for each other. In addition to kisses and hugs, kids and parents show their love by respecting each other, being caring, polite, and thoughtful.(4)Whatever you do, do your best! You don’t have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see how you’re turning int o such a great kid. Why? Because it lets them know they’re doing a good job.【1】The first paragraph mainly tells us .A．the Pittsburgh Stealers is a famous football teamB．the kid will like reading if his or her mother likesC．parents influence their kids greatlyD．we should follow our parents’ hobbies【2】In the third paragraph, the author suggests that .A．you keep your parents company all the timeB．you stay at home with your parentsC．you enjoy games when your parents watch TVD．you do something together with your parents【3】The underlined part “they’re doing a good job” means .A．they have very good jobsB．their jobs can bring the family much moneyC．they make you become a great kidD．they make you find a good job【4】The text intends to tell us .A．parents are important to everyoneB．how we get along with our parentsC．to respect our parentsD．to share feelings with our parents4.As they migrate(迁移), butterflies and moths(飞蛾) choose the winds they want to fly with, and they change their body positions if they start floating in the wrong direction. This new finding suggests that insects may employ some of the same methods that birds use for traveling long distances. Scientists have long thought thatinsects were simply at the mercy of the wind.Fascinating as their skills of flight are, migrating behavior has been difficult to study in insects because many long distant trips happen thousands of feet above ground. Only recently have scientists developed technologies that can detect such little creatures at such great heights.To their surprise, though, the insects weren’t passive but active travelers on the winds. In autumn, for example, most light winds blew from the east, but the insects somehow sought out ones that carried them south and they positioned themselves to navigate(导航) directly to their wintering homes.Even in the spring, when most winds flowed northward, the insects didn’t al ways go with the flow. If breezes weren’t blowing in the exact direction they wanted to go, the insects changed their body positions to compensate(抵消). Many migrating birds do the same thing.The study also found butterflies and moths actively flew within the air streams that pushed them along. By adding flight speeds to wind speeds, the scientists calculated that butterflies and moths can travel as fast as 100 kilometers an hour. The findings may have real-world applications.With climate warming, migrating insects are growing in number. Knowing how and when these pests move could help when farmers decide when to spray their crops.【1】What’s the main idea of the text?A．Insects migrate with the seasonsB．Wind helps insects greatly in migratingC．insects have real directionD．Scientists have trouble in observing insects【2】Scientists originally thought that .A．insects always waited for their favorable windsB．insects chose the winds they wanted to rideC．insects were just blown about by the windD．insects positioned themselves in the winds【3】It is not easy to study the migrating behavior of the insects because .A．the little creatures can fly very fastB．their flight is long and high above groundC．the wind’s direction is hard to foreseeD．they have no regular migrating courses【4】According to the passage, the findings can .A．increase insects in numberB．instruct farmers when to sprayC．prevent climate warmingD．help protect insects二、其他Every living thing has genes. Genes carry information. 【1】 They make sure that humans give birth to humans and cows give birth to cows. They also make sure that a dog doesn’t give birth to a frog, or an elephant to a horse. However, genetic engineers take genes from one species-for example, a snake, and transfer them to another-for example, corn.【2】 Such new life forms have been described, by some scientists as a real-life Frankenstein(科幻怪人). Genetic engineers put duck genes into chicken to make the chickens bigger. They put hormones(激素) into cows to make them produce more milk. They put genes from flowers into beans and from fish into tomatoes.【3】 It just makes them easier and faster for the farmer to grow.The effects of genetic engineering on the natural world may be disastrous. The engineers may create strange life beings, or monsters. that we cannot control.【4】They’ll have to find one, fight for one-or kill for one. It may be your land they fight for-or you that they kill. Moreover, the effects of these experiments can often be cruel. In America, pigs were given human genes to make them bigger and less fatty. The experiment failed. The pigs became very ill and began to lose their eyesight. We would all like a better, healthier and longer life, and genetic engineering might give us this. On the other hand, it may be a dangerous experiment with nature. In the story of Frankenstein, the doctor created such a terrible and dangerous monster that he had to destroy it.【5】A．The information tells us what to do or what not to doB．We must make sure that this tale remains a story-and no more than thatC．This doesn’t make them cheaper, tastier, or healthierD．The new life forms have no natural habitat or homeE. Then they feed the tomatoes to the fishF. In this way a new life form is createdG. They are passed on from generation to generation三、完形填空Jennifer was halfway down the stairs when she turned and took one last look at her room. ______ high school and going away to college was like the ______ pause at the ending of a chapter in a good book, and she was______ to turn the page.Jennifer went down the stairs to where her mother and father, ______ quiet, were waiting.

Their presence meant that land is near, which will be vital informations if a boat and her crew are in danger. Some dolphins have even protected sailors which suffer shipwreck from sharks. There is no wonder that these unique and fascinating creatures have long known as our friends. Dolphins are thought to be intelligent animals because of its quick ability to learn. They seem to communicate with each other through a combination of whistles and clicks. While scientists don’t know exact what they are talking about, it is thought that dolphins are telling each other that food is nearby, or warning each other for approaching dangerous.六、书面表达假设你是李华，一名高三学生，在网络上看到一所国外大学的招生( admission)信息，该大学对中国学生开设了30多个专业(major)，你对此非常感兴趣，打算用英语撰写一份个人申请，主要内容包括：1．想申请的专业；2．个人优势；3．进大学后的设想。

Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing，our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身）nose rings, orcertain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept. Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees ,because those people represent the companies to their customers.As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.【1】Which of the following is the newspaper editor’ opinion according to Paragraph 2?A．People’s appearances carry messages about themselves.B．Customers’ choices inf luence dress standards in companies.C．Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.D．Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.【2】What can be inferred from the text?A．Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.B．What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.C．Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.D．Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.【3】Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A．Employees Matter B．Personal Choices MatterC．Appearances Matter D．Hiring Managers Matter3.When milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note-“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch （门廊）. Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.【1】Mr Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer____.A．to show his magical power.B．to pay for the deliveryC．to satisfy his curiosity.D．to please his mother.【2】What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house?A．He wanted to have tea there.B．He was a respectable person.C．He was treated as a family member.D．He was fully trusted by the family.【3】Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A．Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B．It has been driven out of the market.C．Its service is getting poor.D．It is forbidden by law.【4】Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A．He missed the good old days.B．He wanted to tell interesting stories.C．He missed it for his milk bottles.D．He planted flowers in it.4.Science can't explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (血压) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than ahusband/wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people - half of them pet owners –while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more relaxed (放松)around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don't judge.A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lost about I1 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more than 15% of their body weight. Dog owners didn't lose any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overall-mostly with their dogs - and found it worth doing.【1】What does the text mainly discuss?A．What pets bring to their owners.B．How pets help people calm down.C．People's opinions of keeping pets.D．Pet's value in medical research.【2】We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well ifA．he has a pet companionB．he has less stress of workC．he often does mental arithmeticD．he is taken care of by his family【3】According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around when facing stressful tasks?A．They have lower blood pressure.B．They become more patient.C．They are less nervous.D．They are in higher spirits.【4】The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports thatA．people with dogs did more exerciseB．dogs lost the same weight as people didC．dogs liked exercise much more than people didD．people without dogs found the program unhelpful5.Money MattersParents should help their children understand money.【1】so you may start tallking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things,candy or toys,for example.1.The basic function of moneyBegin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services.it’s important to show your child how money is traded for the thing he wants to have.If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier .【2】when your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.2.Money lessonsApproach money lessons with openness and honesty.【3】If you must say no to a child’s request to spend money,explain,”You have enough toy trucks for now.”Or,if the request is for many different things, say.“You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”3.【4】Begin at the grocery store. Pick put similar brands of a product—a name brand butter and a generic(无商标产品),for example.You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money.【5】 If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money ter,you may explains how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.A．Wise decision.B．The value of money.C．Permit the child to choose between them.D．Tell your child why he can—or cannot—have certain things.E. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you.F. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.G.

（共15小题，计30分）第一节阅读短文，四个选项（A、B、C、D）从中选出最佳选项。

（共10小题，计20分）AThe number of buses, taxis and other vehicles on Kenya‟s roads is growing every day. Now, the country‟s first electric-powered motorbikes are coming onto the market. The bike is designed to cut down on pollution and aimed at low-income communities. Most motorbikes used in Kenya depend on gasoline, but not this new motorbike.Three university students developed the new ecotran bike. It catches the sun‟s energy, stores it in batteries and uses it to charge the electric motor. Robert Achoge is one of the student inventors. “Our hope is that by the fifth year, we will be able to cover the whole of Keny a with the electric motorcycle so as to protect the environment and provide affordable transport.”The students have set up a charging station for the motorbikes in Nairobi. The small battery can run for 70 kilometers when fully charged. Once the power is used up, the motorbike has to return to the station while another charged battery is connected to the bike. The U.S. African Development Foundation(ADF) is helping set up two solar-powered charging stations in the port of Kisumu.Each ecotran bike costs about $700. One taxi operator says the new motorbike costs less to operate than that running on traditional gasoline. “When it comes to buying gasoline, there‟s no need. It‟s basically good for various things.As long as you won‟t take quite a heavy load, yo u can go with it anywhere. Otherwise, it may break down halfway. But now people still have a preference to the gas-powered bikes”A Nairobi businessman Kennedy Kusimba is selling the ecotran bikes. He hopes they will become popular. “We also know they are more reliable compared to the gas-powered bikes. They are more efficient and they will last longer.”1. What has happened to the vehicles in Kenya?A. Motorbikes are not allowed on the road.B. A new kind of motorbike is hitting the road.C. There are fewer buses and taxis in the street.D. Traditional motorbikes don‟t need gasoline any more.2. What do we know about the ecotran bike?A. It was developed by the ADF.B. It can charge itself while running.C. Its energy comes from the sunlight.D. It does more harm to the environment.3. What do people think of the ecotran bike?A. It‟s better not to use it to carry too much.B. It is a good choice for the long-distance journey.C. It will take the place of gas-powered bikes soon.D. It is much more expensive than a traditional motorbike.4. Where does the text probably come from?A. A research plan.B. An advertisement.C. A business report.D. A science magazine.BA group of homeless children in the Indian capital of New Delhi publish a newspaper telling about their own lives. It is called Balaknama, which means “children‟s voice”.The newspaper is written and edited by children up to 19 years old. About 10,000 people read it. The children write about poverty, child labor, underage marriages and drugs. When reports arrive, they sit down to select the story, and fights usually break out. They argue: this story will have more effect than that story. So there‟re a lot of debates before the final selection goes to prin t.The newspaper has 70 reporters in several states and 14 in the capital. All of the reporters, editors and managers are homeless children. Many of their parents are jobless and cannot read or write. The children now earn money, and many of them attend classes online.The newpaper is published every month. It has eight pages. In 2002, when it began operations, the newspaper was published four times a year. It has changed the lives of many of the children who publish it, and hopes to improve the lives of thousands of others.Non-governmental organizations and charity groups support the newspaper. Sanjay Gupta leads a group that helps the children and gives money to the newspaper. “They feel very encouraged when people appreciate them. When they talk to the officials and before the media, they gradually build up their self-confidence. I think Balaknama is a powerful tool for them. The newspaper costs about three cents. That is lower than the price of a small cup of tea in India. But the low cost gives the children hope that they will someday have a home and a job.”5. What can we learn about reports in Balaknam a?A. They often cause disagreement.B. They all come from the capital.C. They are chosen by managers directly.D. They are about the lives of children in India.6. Which of the following about Balaknama is TRUE?A. It is published every three months.B. It is designed for readers under 19.C. It is operated by homeless children.D. It aims to help more children receive an education.7. What can we learn from Sanjay Gupta‟s words?A. Balaknama helps children become confident.B. People usually read Balaknama while drinking tea.C. The government should help Balaknama financially.D. The price of Balaknama is too low to support the children.CIt may not come as a surprise but the world as a whole is getting richer. Recent data has shown that the number of people living in extreme poverty has halved in recent decades. So should we celebrate the fact that more of us now have a better standard of living?Maybe not. While the gap between rich and poor in some countries is narrowing, there is still a lot of inequality in other places---some people have a lot of money and opportunities and others don't. A recent report by Oxfam and Credit Suisse revealed how divided many of us are when it comes to wealth. A lot of the money in the world is in the hands of very few people. In fact, 48% of global wealth is owned by the richest 1% of the population.But some countries are attempting to reduce this inequality and make the poor, less poor. According to David Bryer from Oxfam, Brazil has been taking “some really sensible measures - measures around having more progressive(稳定的) tax, around investing in a higher minimum wage and investing in central public services.” Having a higher minimum wage can help people eat better and seek a better education. And more people with more money buy more things---and factories can produce more. In turn, a factory which produces more will need more workers. So, more jobs are created.Other wealthy individuals are doing their bit to help reduce inequality. Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, earned a lot of money from his company but when he retired, he and his wife Melinda, created a foundation to help the poor. He thinks that rich people should all be philanthropic and take out some wealth to help the poorest both at home and abroad.Bill Gates feels that giving money to help poor people is "fulfilling". But if other super-rich people don't want to experience this fulfillment then, according to Oxfam, very soon the wealthiest 1% will soon own more money than the rest of the world's population.8. According to a recent report by Oxford and Credit Suisse, ________.A. the gap between the rich and the poor is widening graduallyB. increased wealth helps people to reduce the inequalityC. people should be happy about the world‟s getting richerD. a small number of people possess the major world wealth9. What is the meaning of the underlined word “philanthropic”?A. Broadminded.B. Responsible.C. Realistic.D. Charitable.10. The author develops the article mainly by _________.A. comparing opinions from different fieldsB. listing detailed numbers and analyzing themC. presenting a trend and analyzing its cause and effectD. presenting research findings and giving some examples第二节七选五（共5小题，计10分）Trust is like money. It is so difficult to earn, easy to waste and no matter how much you have, it is just never enough.For you, as a teenager, trust may seem to be a complicated word. ____11____ This can cause a lot of tension between you, and also can make you feel disappointed and angry.It is impossible for you to be the perfect teenager and child. ___12____ But when it comes to trust, you need to understand something. The degree to which your parents give you their trust needs to match the degree to which you prove yourself trustworthy. ___13___ If you want their trust, you have to behave honestly and responsibly.When you behave irresponsibly, your parents will certainly be disappointed in you. ___14___ The saying “Actions speak louder than words” is true. It is not what you say to your parents that makes them believe in you, but what you do.___15___ Work towards regaining your parents‟trust. For this, you should listen to your parents, study hard and get good results at school. Say sorry when you have made a mistake, be financially responsible and don‟t abuse what is given to you or ask for more than you need. In a word, if you try to perform well, your parents will surely trust you again.A. It is important to choose your path wisely.B. Your parents aren‟t always willing to trust you.C. And if your parents give you chores, finish them.D. So what should you do when your parents don‟t trust you?E. You are going to make mistakes, whether you want to or not.F. You will lose their trust because of the way you have behaved.G. So you need to ask yourself if your pattern of behavior is worthy of their trust.II. 完形填空。

His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to copy him in every way he could.One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read the book just like you, but I don’t unde rstand it, and I forget what I understand as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the book do?”The grandpa quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandpa laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned. Out of breath, he told his grandpa that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, so he went to get a bucket instead. The grandpa said, “I don’t want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough.” The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandpa the basket was empty again. Out of breath, he said, “Grandpa, it’s useless!”“So, you think it is useless?” the grandpa said, “Look at the basket.”The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean.“Grandson, that’s what happens when you read the book. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you’ll be changed, inside and out.”21. What puzzled the grandson most was _________.A. why he forgot what he read soonB. whether it was useful to read booksC. what kind of book he could understandD. how he could read books like his grandpa22. Why did Grandpa ask his grandson to fetch a basket of waterA. To get him to realize the use of reading books.B. To punish him for not reading carefully.C. To clean the dirty basket in the river.D. To train him to run faster.23. What lesson can we learn from the story?A. The old are always wiser than the young.B. It is foolish to carry water with a basket.C. You can’t expect to remember all you read.D. Reading books can change a person gradually.BWhen 15-year-old Louisa Ball takes a nap, she sleeps for days on end, and no amount of shaking can fully wake her up. The British girl has a rare condition called Sleeping Beauty Sickness. Doctors don’t know what causes it or how to cure it --only know that it strikes teenagers and goes away by itself after eight to 12 years.Louisa’s mum, Lottie, told NBC News that the girl had flulike symptoms just over a year ago. Shortly afterward, she had her first period of long sleeping.She was eventually diagnosed with Kleine-Levin Syndrome, whose victims worldwide may number no more than 1,000. The victims live normally for weeks or months at a time, with normal sleep patterns and normal energy levels. Then, with little warning, they’ll go to s leep for days or weeks at a time. So far, Louisa’s longest period in bed has been 13 days. Victims will wake briefly, but be disoriented and not fully awake. Louisa’s parents force her awake so she can use the bathroom and eat.Now, Louisa’s friends can te ll when a period is coming on. She stops talking and she may beannoyed easily. That’s when she knows she has to get home to her bed. Louisa has slept through family vacations, the dance recitals(表演会) she loves to perform in, and school tests. Now it becomes increasingly difficult to catch up on missed schoolwork.But just as doctors don’t know the cause, they also don’t know why it ends as mysteriously as it began. The illness is unrelated to narcolepsy(嗜眠病), whose victims are constantly tired and drop off for brief periods of sleep at any time.It’s so dramatic that some people have accused Louisa of making the false symptoms to get attention. Her father, Richard, thinks that’s absurd.24.The underlined “disoriented ” in the 3rd paragraph probably means________.A. embarrassedB. disappointedC. confusedD. happy25.We can learn from the passage that________.A. doctors have found the cure for Sleeping Beauty Sickness.B. some people don’t believe in the truth of Louisa’s symptoms.C. Kleine-Lev in Syndrome has no effect on Louisa’s study and life.D. the narcolepsy victims sleep longer than those with Kleine-Levin Syndrome.26.What can we learn about Louisa?A. Louisa is fond of dancing.B. Louisa can still manage finish her schoolwork without difficulty.C. Louisa is a British girl who likes sleeping.D. Louisa’s longest sleeping period is 8 years.27.Which is true about Kleine-Levin syndrome according to the passage?A. The victim usually sleep for days or weeks at a time.B. There are usually many warning signs before it attacks.C. The victims are usually tired and in a bad mood.D. There are more than 1000 victims in the world.CPeople always think men are more skilled than women in driving. Nowadays women appear to have a positive image of themselves as safer drivers than men.In a survey done for insurer MetLife, 51% of women said they drive more safely. The evidence is on their side: Men are 3.4 times more likely than women to get a ticket for careless driving and 3.1 ti mes as likely to be punished for drunk driving. “Women are on average less aggressive and more law abiding (守法的) drivers, which leads to fewer accidents.” the report says. However, not all male drivers share the same opinion. Of the men surveyed by MetLife, 39% claimed male drivers were safer. The findings did back them up on one point: automotive knowledge. The report showed that more men are familiar with current safety equipment such as electronic stability control, which helps prevent rollover accidents.Auto safety unavoidably matters to money. Insurance companies focus on what classes of drivers have the lowest dollar amounts of claims, and for now, that mainly includes women. In general, women pay about 9% less for auto insurance than men. A study by the website Insweb also showed that auto insurance rates are lower for women in most states. Among individual states, women get the greatest advantage in Wyoming (where they pay 20% less), South Dakota and Washington, D. C., where their insurance costs are 16% lower.“More than 11,900 male drivers died in U.S. traffic accidents in 2009, compared with just under 4,900 women drivers,” according to the study. “Based on miles traveled, men died at a rate of 2.5 deaths per 100 million miles traveled, v.s. 1.7 deaths for women.”28. According to the study, male drivers _________.A. are less aggressive while drivingB. are more skilled at auto knowledgeC. are more likely to stick to driving lawsD. are less familiar with safety equipment29. Insurance companies focus on female driver clients(客户) probably because they _________.A. cause more accidents on the road but ask for littleB. cause little damage and pay more money to the insurance companiesC. make up the most part of the insurance clientsD. are more careful drivers and cause less damage30. We can infer from the passage that _________.A. men are 3.1 times more likely to get tickets than womenB. all women in the USA pay the same for their auto insuranceC. more female drivers die every year than male driversD. women are generally safer drivers than the opposite sex31. The writer mainly develops paragraphs by _________.A. giving examplesB. making comparisonsC. drawing a conclusionD. presenting an argumentDAccording to researchers, money can buy happiness, but only if you spend it on someone else. Spending as little as $5 a day on someone else could significantly bring you happiness, the team at the University of British Columbia and Harvard Business School found.Their experiments on more than 630 Americans showed they were measurably (适度地) happier when they spent money on others--even if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier.“We wanted to test our theory tha t how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn,” said Elizabeth Dunn, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia.They asked their 600 volunteers first to rate their general happiness, report their annual income and detail their monthly spending including bills, gifts for themselves, gifts for others and donations to charity.“Regardless of how much income each person made, those who spent money on others reported greater happiness, while those who spent more o n themselves did not,” Dunn said in a statement. Dunn’s team also surveyed 16 employees at a company in Boston before and after they received an annual profit-sharing bonus(奖金) of between $3,000 and $8,000.“Employees who devoted more of their bonus to pro-social (有益社会的) spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus, and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor of their happiness than the size of the bonus itself,” they wrote in their report, published in the journal Science.They gave their volunteers $5 or $20 and half got clear instructions on how to spend it. Those who spent the money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it.“These findings suggest that very minor variations in spending allocations (分配) --as little as$5--may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day,” Dunn said.32. According to the passage, ________.A. the more money you spend on others, the happier you areB. spending money on others can bring you happinessC. Elizabeth Dunn is a psychologist from Harvest Business SchoolD. six hundred volunteers took part in the experiment33. The 16 employees mentioned in the passage _________.A. were given clear instructions on how to spend the bonusB. had more happiness than the size of the bonus itselfC. experienced greater happiness after receiving their bonusD. felt happier after they contributed much of the bonus to charities34. Dunn’s statement suggested that ________.A. those who spent money on others felt happier no matter how much they earnedB. those who spent more money on themselves felt happierC. people thought spending money could make themselves happierD. the money spent was as important as the money earned35. The best title of this passage is ________.A. Experiment on Money SpendingB. Devoting Your Money to CharitiesC. Spending Money on Others Makes One HappierD. Bonus and Pro-social Spending第二节：七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）Every one of us knows this feeling: we have a lot of work to do but a momentary feeling of laziness. ___36___ This is either because we lack the inspiration or are not encouraged enough to start working.___37___ It often leads to the worsening of one’s relationship at work and affects work performance, which can result into job loss and extra stress.How to overcome laziness?

When you create your to-do list, make sure to arrange the tasks from the easiest one to the more difficult one, which helps you to start with the simple things first.Remove distractions.

Many of us are ___41___ to share our experiences or emotions with our friends.
