ACarol: I started playing the cello（大提琴）when I was about eight or nine. It was great playing the cello because I was in youth orchestras and we went abroad to do tours.

It always hung in my classroom until I retired from teaching.I thought it truly captured the freedom and fun of childhood. In the painting,a group of young boys are playing a game arm in arm on grass ground in front of a farm house. They are jumping and laughing wildly with great joy. One of the boys is falling down to the ground. They are not even wearing shoes!During my last year of teaching, there was a young woman in her first year of teaching right next door to me and we got to be good friends.

They are kept in their natural environment.I like the Wildlife Park better than a zoo where most of the animals are in cages.We first spent some time with the kangaroos. We were allowed to touch and feed them. It wasvery exciting to be so close to them. There were koalas there too. They looked very cuddly(令人想拥抱的). Although we were not allowed to carry them, I got to take a photo with one. It is a wonderful souvenir of my holiday in Sydney.The Wildlife Park has plenty of freshwater and saltwater crocodiles. Some of them are really big and scary with huge teeth! I did not want to get too close to them.There was also a bird show.

The water in my thermos(保温瓶) had gone cold, so I knocked on the door of the house. A woman opened it. I asked her for some hot water. But she w ouldn’t let me get away with just that! I was invited indoors. She asked me to sit at the table and have breakfast with her family. They filled my thermos before I left.I was greatly moved. And I decided to pass the kindness on.

Being an adult means having the right to do certain things, such as getting a part-time job, voting (投票) , getting married, or getting a driving license. It also means accepting the responsibilities that go along with these rights.In many countries, sixteen or eighteen is the age when a person becomes an adult. Young men and women at this age can get a part-time job, and begin to receive an income of their own. They no longer have to depend on their parents for money all the time. In Canada and America, sixteen is the age when one can get a driving license; in England, it is seventeen.There are responsibilities that go along with both of these rights. Getting a part-time job means that you have to pay income tax. Driving a car demands that you follow certain rules like buying car insurance.Voting is another right that young people enjoy when they become adults. In the United States, Canada and Britain, young people have the right to vote at the age of eighteen With this right also comes responsibility. For young people to use their right to vote wisely, they must have an understanding of the needs of society, and they must also learn how politics work.11.The underlined word “right” in Paragraph One means “______” in Chinese.A. 正确B. 右边 C权利 D. 左边12.In America and Canada, young people who are ____ can get their driving licenses.A. at the age of 16B. at the age of 15C. at the age of 14D. at the age of 1313.If you drive a car, you have to ______.A. get a part-time jobB. follow certain rulesC. understand societyD. learn politics14.Tom is a 17-year-old English boy and he has the rights to______.A. drive and learnB. vote and marryC. drive and voteD. work and vote15.

Customers make a small deposit（押金）and get to use the thing for a daily cost,with a fine put in place for every day if they fail to return the product in time. It’sa simple business model, and market data shows that people see sharing as a cheap and convenient way to cut down waste.Zhao Shuping founded the Sharing E Umbrella, an umbrella sharing service, in April. By the end of June, he had already started in 11 major Chinese cities, including Shanghai, Nanjing and Guangzhou. While picking up the umbrellas was simple, as they were made available（可得到的）at bus and subway stations,the return system turned out to be a different matter. “Umbrellas are different from bicycles,” Mr. Zhao told Chinese news site . “Bikes can be parked anywhere, but with an umbrella you need something to hang it on.”So instead of bothering to return the umbrellas back to a station, a lot of people just took them home, and Sharing E Umbrella has reportedly lost track of most of the 300,000 umbrellas.Considering that borrowing umbrellas requires a 19 yuan deposit, with a fee of 0.50 yuan per half an hour usage, Zhao says that he suffers a loss of 60 yuan per lost umbrella, so the company is now in the red, but he is not ready to stop it just yet.Zhao announces that Sharing E Umbrella still plans to roll out（推出）30 million nationwide by the end of the year.9. What do we know about Sharing E Umbrella?A. It makes people learn to help each other.B. It needs people to make a small deposit first.C. It developed faster in the western countries.D. It produces more waste and causes disorder.10. What problem did Sharing E Umbrella meet after it was founded?A. The company had no money to produce umbrellas.B. Umbrellas are not allowed to hang anywhere.C. Lots of customers didn't give the umbrellas back.D. People refuse to pay deposit for the umbrellas.11. How much did his company lose if an umbrella was lost?A. 0.5 yuan.B. 19 yuan.C. 60 yuan.D.120 yuan.12. We can infer from the last paragraph that .A. Zhao has found a way to get the umbrellas backB. Zhao will continue his umbrella sharing serviceC. Most of Zhao’s companies have been closedD. Sharing E Umbrella is a failure for ZhaoDMore than 135,000 UK drinkers will die from cancer caused by alcohol（酒精）by the year 2035, researchers say. A study by Sheffield University and Cancer Research UK shows that alcohol will cost the NHS(National Health Service)￡53 billion over thenext ten years including ￡2 billion on cancer.Although alcohol is known to cause many types of cancer including breast and throat, most people don’t realize the relation between alcohol and cancer. A survey of 2,100 Britons by the researchers earlier this year found nine in ten did not connect drinking with cancer. The researchers used a computer model to work out the numbers of alcohol-related cancer deaths,hospital admissions（入院）and total costs to NHS over the next 20 years.The study shows that a fifth of men and 1 in 10 women have alcohol every day—many of these are middle-aged and middle class. Researchers are very worried about this group as they believe cancer may be caused by drinking over long periods. The study shows that even if the cost stays as it is, alcohol-related cancer deaths will rise from 6,299 in 2015 to 7,097 in 2034.Alcohol will lead to 891,299 hospital admissions,up from 802,118 in 2015, and 65,005 will be caused by cancer.Earlier this year Chief Medical Officer Dame Sally Davies studied carefully the alcohol guidance（指导）for the first time in thirty years.She told people there was no safe level of drinking and advised them to drink no more than 14 units a week. But researchers say this guidance isn’t enough and want the government to increase a little price per unit of alcohol.13. What can we learn from the text?A. Alcohol will be the main cause of cancer deaths.B. More people will get away from the habit of drinking.C. The computer model can help researchers to cut down costs on cancer.D. Most people are not clear about the relation between alcohol and cancer.14. What is the researchers’ hope for the government?A. To continue to support the study.B. To put up the price of alcohol properly.C. To control alcohol-related cancer deaths.D. To study the alcohol guidance carefully.15. What may be the best title for the text?A. A Recent Study about CancerB. The Cost of the NHS on AlcoholC. The Discovery of the Causes of CancerD. Alcohol-related cancer over the Coming Years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。

2017-2018学年度上学期期中考试高一英语试题第二部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题 2 分，满分 40分）AOn a Sunday morning, I was driving down a road and saw something I couldn’t believe.A little girl, less than two, was pushing her stroller (婴儿车) across the road. It was Sunday morning and traffic was not heavy.I stopped my car at once and ran toward her. This little girl knew enough to run froma stranger. I tried to catch her in order that I could get her out of the road. Suddenly her father came running down a hill across the road from where I had parked my car. He ran right to her and caught her up, saying “bad girl” to her. I picked up the stroller and gave it to him. The father grabbed (抓住) the stroller and walked toward where he came from without a word.I went back and sat in my car for a few minutes with my son. My hands were shaking and tears were about to run out of my eyes. “Do you feel cold, Mom？” asked my son.I just shook my head.After this happened, I thought about how thankful I was. Even though the father didn’t say thank you, I feel that I did something good. Doing something for someone else is pleasing, even when it’s only a matter of being in the right place at the right time.I didn’t really “save” her, but I feel like it was i mportant that I happened to be there. It is sad that I was the only one who stopped. It really made me a little disappointed that no one else stopped to help.21．When the author saw the little girl, ________.A．the girl had lost her wayB．she was driving to work in a hurryC．the girl feared to go across the roadD．there weren’t many cars on the road22．The little girl ran away from the author because ________.A．she wanted to stay on the roadB．she didn’t know the author at allC．she wanted to look for her fatherD．she needed to catch her stroller23．Why were the author’s hands shaking?A．Because she was not feeling well.B．Because she was too excited to keep calm.C．Because the weather was very cold at that time.D．Because she failed to be understood by the girl’s father.24．The author thought that her help was ________.A．really necessary B．worth praising C．not welcome D．not usefulBOne of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. You have to be with them in both good and bad times. In return, they will be there for you. But how can you be a good friend?Listen. Listen when they are talking. Keep eye contact. Don't say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes you're not required to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.Help them. If your friends are ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don't become their slave (奴隶). Try to take an extra pencil or pen with you to classes as they may forget to take one. Have a few extra dollars in your pocket in case they forget something they need.Be there for them. Try to make something for your friends to help make them feel better in hard times. Making cards and baking things are among the nicest things you can do for a friend when they are in hard times. Marilyn Monroe once said, "I'm selfish, impatient (急躁的) and a little insecure. I make mistakes, and I am out of control and at times hard to deal with. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you surely don't deserve (值得) me at my best. " Always remember this! If you don't want to deal with your friends when they're depressed, then you don't deserve to be with them during those parties where you have a good time!。

needed to keep my family in Boston．My wife recently died of a heart attack．A job in Boston would help me reduce some of the extreme trauma（精神创伤）and pain of the loss for my l6﹣year﹣old daughter．It was important for me to keep her in her present high school．I could still hardly talk about the loss of my wife．Bruce，the interviewer，was politely empathetic，but he didn't probe（彻底调查）any further．He admitted my loss and，with great respect，moved on to another subject．After the next round of the interview，Bruce took me to lunch with another manager．Then he asked me to take a walk with him．He told me that he，too，had lost his wife．And，like me，he had also been married 20years and had three children．In his sharing，I realized that he had experienced the same pain as I had﹣a pain that was almost impossible to explain to someone who had not lost a beloved one．He offered his business card and home phone number and suggested that，if I need help or just want someone to talk to，I should feel free to give him a call．Whether I got the job or not，he wanted me to know that he was there if I ever needed help．When he had no idea if we would ever see each other again，he helpedour family deal with one

1950s．Most of the people shown in these works are right﹣handed，so the scientists guessed that right﹣handedness has always been common through history．Today，only about 10% to 15% of the world's population is left﹣handed．Why are there more right﹣handed people than left﹣handed ones？Scientists now know that a person's two hands each have their own jobs．For most people，the left hand is used to find things or hold things．The right hand is used to work with things．This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain （大脑）．The right side of the brain，which makes a person's hands and eyes worktogether，controls（控制）the left hand．The left﹣side of the brain，which controls the right hand，is the centre for thinking and doing problems．These findings show that more artists should be left﹣handed，and studies have found that left﹣handedness is twice as common among artists than among people in other jobs．No one really knows what makes a person become right﹣handed instead of left﹣handed．Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left﹣handed because their main brain is damaged（损害）when they are born．However，this doesn't happen to everyone，so scientists guess there must be another reason （原因）why people become left﹣handed．One idea is that people usually get right﹣handed from their parents．If a person does not receive the gene （基因）for right ﹣handedness，he/she may become either right﹣handed or left﹣handed according to the chance （偶然性）and the people they work or live with．Though right﹣handedness is more common than left﹣handedness，people no longer think left﹣handed people are strange or unusual．A long time ago，left﹣handed children were made to use their right hands like other children，but today they don't have to．32．How many people in the world are left﹣handed now？A．Less than one sixth．B．More than a half．C．About 40%．D．The passage doesn't tell us．33．What is the left hand for most people used to do？A．It's used to find or hold things．B．It's used to work with things．C．It's used to make a person's eyes work together．D．It's the centre for thinking and doing problems．34．According to （根据）the passage，which of the following is NOT true？A．No one really knows what makes a person become right﹣handed．B．Left﹣handedness is cleverer than right﹣handedness．C．Today children are not made to use their right hands only．D．Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left﹣handed．35．The best title（标题）for this passage is．A．Scientists'New InventionsB．Left﹣handed PeopleC．Which Hand？D．Different Brains，Different Hands．第二节（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．选项中有两项为多余选项．15．（10分）The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet，chat and go where we've never been before．But just as in face to face communication，there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line．（16）Imagine how you'd feel if you were in the other person's shoes．For anything you're about to send，ask yourself，"Would I say this to the person's face？"If the answer is no，rewrite and reread．（17）If someone in the chat room is rude to you，your instinct （本能）is to fire back in the same manner．But try not to do so．（18）If it is caused by a disagreement with another member，try to fix the situation by politely discussing it．Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room．（19）Offer advice when asked by newcomers，as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate．When someone makes a mistake，whether it's a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer，be kind about it．If it's a small mistake，you may not need to say anything．Even if you feel strongly about it，think twice before saying anything．Having good manners yourself doesn't give you license to correct everyone else．（20）At the same time，if you find you are wrong，be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended．It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age，sex and marital status．Unless you know the person very well，and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information，don't ask such questions．A．Everyone was new to the network once．B．It's natural that there are some people who make mistakes online．C．If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake，point it out politely．D．The basic rule is simple：treat others in the same way you would want to be treated．E．When you send short messages to a person online，you must say something beautiful to hear．F．Instead，you should either ignore the person，or use your chat software to block their messages．G．Repeat the process till you feel sure that you'd feel comfortable saying the words to the person's face．第三部分英语知识运用（共两节）第一节完形填空（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A，B，C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．16．（30分）It was a busy morning，about 8：30，when an elderly gentleman in his 80s came to the hospital．I heard him

AElizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and moved to New York City when she was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission(录取)to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling.In 1849, after graduation from medical school, she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon(外科医师) , but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children. Besides being the first woman physician and founding her own hospital, she also set up the first medical school for women.1. Why couldn’t Elizabeth Blackwell realize her dream of becoming a surgeon?A. She couldn’t get admitted to medical school.B. She decided to further her education in Paris.C. A serious eye problem stopped her.D. It was difficult for her to start a practice in the United States.2. What main obstacle(障碍) almost destroyed Elizabeth’s chances for becoming fora doctor?A.

But have you ever thought about how to take care of four to twelve old people when you grow up and get married? This could be a problem for most Chinese youths as China is entering a new stage of an aging society.An aging society refers to one where 10 percent or more of its population is over 60. By the end of 2007, Chinese over 60 years old have made up 11.7 percent of the nation’s total population. “China is getting old before becoming rich,” said Cai Chuang, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. The population increase that has powered Chinese growth for three decades will give way over the next ten years to a rapid aging of the society. This will lead to weaker economic growth, because of a lack of labor resources.As a result of the family planning policy, it is expected that the country's total working population will decrease after 2015.China is not the only country getting old. More than 60 countries have become aging societies and one in three people in the European Union is a senior citizen.However, experts said that China doesn't have a highly developed social security network to support the old. Social security is an insurance program protecting those in need, including the old, the disabled and others.5. An aging society is a society that ___________.A. less than 10% of its population is over 60B. 10% or more of its population is over 60C. there are four old people in a familyD. most of its population is over606. If China enters an aging society, ___________.A. there will not be enough labor resourcesB. the family planning policy will be endedC. everyone needs to take care of four to twelve old peopleD. China will have a highly developed social security network7. The passage mainly talks about ___________.A. an aging societyB. Chinese social problemsC. family planning policyD. aging problem in ChinaCUsing too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving(铺砌) a road can lead to less usable fresh water.A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers. It comes from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages(缺乏). Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱) than areas with more rainfall, but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs .Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too. In the United States, a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live, but there’s a lot we can do to lower the number.You can take steps to save water in your home. To start with, use the same glass for your drinking water all day. Wash it only once a day. Run your dishwasher only when it is full. Help your parents fix any leaks(滴水) in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.8. Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater?A. Using river water.B. Throwing batteries away.C. Paving parking lots.D. Throwing rubbish into lakes.9. What can be inferred from the text?A. All water shortages are due to human behavior.B. It takes a lot of effort to meet our water needs.C. There is much we can do to reduce family size.D. The average family in America makes proper use of water.10. The last paragraph is intended to ________________.A. show us how to fix leaks at homeB. tell us how to run a dishwasherC. prove what drinking glass is best for usD. suggest what we do to save water at home11. The text is mainly about _________________.A. how human activity affects our water supplyB. how much we depend on water to liveC. why droughts occur more in dry climatesD. why paving roads reduces our waterDAlthough English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating new words, and we are often able to know where most words come from.Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers(汉堡包) are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham(火腿)? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, “We come from Hamburg.” One of theAmericans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like those which the men from Hamburg ate. Then he put each between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting. too. This reason, for most English words, can be found in any large English dictionary.12. Hamburg is_____________.A. a kind of foodB. a round piece of beefC. the name of a villageD. a city in Germany13. According to the story, ________________.A. few Americans like hamburgersB. hamburgers are only made with beefC. hamburgers are made with hamD. hamburgers were first sold about a century ago14. According to the writer, which of the following can often be found in any largeEnglish dictionary?A. Where all the new words come fromB. Where those Germans came fromC. The reason why a word has a certain meaningD. The reason why English is spoken around the world15. According to the story, the word “hamburger” comes from_________________.A. China because it has a long historyB. England because Germans don’t speak good EnglishC. the round pieces of beef which those people from Hamburg were eatingD. English speakers because they always create new words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。

This process is essential for life on Earth as it produces oxygen and organic compounds that are used by plants and other organisms. The overall chemical equation for photosynthesis is:6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂Photosynthesis can be divided into two main stages: the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.The light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts. These reactions use sunlight to split water molecules (H₂O) into oxygen (O₂), protons (H⁺), and electrons (e⁻). The oxygen is released into the atmosphere, while the protons and electrons are used to produce ATP and NADPH, which are energy carriers.The Calvin cycle, also known as the light-independent reactions, takes place in the stroma of the chloroplasts. It uses the ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions to convert carbon dioxide (CO₂) into glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆). This cycle consists of three main stages: carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration of the starting molecule, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP).1、What is the overall chemical equation for photosynthesis?A. 3CO₂ + 6H₂O + light ener gy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂B. 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂C. 2CO₂ + 3H₂O + light energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂D. 5CO₂ + 4H₂O + light energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂2、Where do the light-dependent reactions occur in a plant?A. In the mitochondriaB. In the cytoplasmC. In the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplastsD. In the stroma of the chloroplasts3、What is the main purpose of the oxygen produced during photosynthesis?A. To be used as an energy source by plantsB. To be released into the atmosphereC. To be converted into glucoseD. To be used as a building block for proteins4、In which stage of photosynthesis is carbon dioxide converted into glucose?A. The light-dependent reactionsB. The Calvin cycleC. The light-independent reactionsD. The regeneration of RuBPAnswers:1、B2、C3、B4、B四、阅读第二节（12.5分）Title: The Importance of ExerciseReading Passage:Exercise is not just about staying fit and healthy; it plays a crucial role in our overall well-being.

By the end of June, he had already started in 11 major Chinese cities,including Shanghai, Nanjing and Guangzhou. While picking up the umbrellas wassimple,as they were madeavailable （可获得的） at bus and subway stations,the return system turned out to be a different matter.“ Umbrellas are different from bicycles,” Mr. Zhao told Chinese news site .“Bikes can be parked anywhere, but with an umbrella you need something to hang it on.”So instead of bothering to return the umbrellas back to a station, a lot ofpeople just took them home, and Sharing E Umbrella has reportedly lost track ofmost of the 300,000 umbrellas.Considering that borrowing umbrellas requires a 19yuan deposit, with a fee of 0.50 yuan per half an hour usage, Zhao says that hesuffers a loss of 60 yuan per lost umbrella, so the company is now in the red, buthe is not ready to stop it just yet.Zhao announces that Sharing E Umbrella stillplans to roll out（推出）30 million nationwide by the end of the year.9.What do we know about Sharing E Umbrella?A.It makes people learn to help each other.B.It needs people to make a small deposit first.C.It developed faster in the western countries.D.It produces more waste and causes disorder.10.What problem did Sharing E Umbrella meet after it was founded?A.The company had no money to produce umbrellas.B.Umbrellas are not allowed to hang anywhere.C.Lots of customers didn't give the umbrellas back.D.People refuse to pay deposit for the umbrellas.11.How much did his company lose if an umbrella was lost?A. 0.5 yuan.B. 19 yuan.C. 60 yuan.D.120 yuan.12.We can infer from the last paragraph that .A.Zhao has found a way to get the umbrellas backB.Zhao will continue his umbrella sharing serviceC.Most of Zhao ’ s companies have been closedD.Sharing E Umbrella is a failure for ZhaoDMore than 135,000 UK drinkers will die from cancer caused by alcohol（酒精）by the year 2035, researchers say. A study by Sheffield University and CancerResearch UK shows that alcohol will cost the NHS(National Health Service)￡ 53 billion over thenext ten years including￡ 2 billion on cancer.Although alcohol is known to cause many types of cancer including breast andthroat,most people don’ t realize the relation between alcohol and cancer. A survey of 2,100 Britons by the researchers earlier this year found nine in ten did notconnect drinking with cancer. The researchers used a computer model to work outthe numbers of alcohol-related cancer deaths,hospital admissions（住院） and total costs to NHS over the next 20 years.The study shows that a fifth of men and 1 in10 womenhave alcohol every day— many of these are middle-aged and middle class.Researchers are very worried about this group as they believe cancer may be caused by drinking over long periods.The study shows that even if the cost stays as it is,alcohol-related cancer deaths will rise from 6,299 in 2015 to 7,097 in 2034.Alcohol will lead to891,299hospital admissions,up from 802,118 in 2015, and 65,005 will be caused by cancer.Earlier this year Chief Medical Officer Dame Sally Davies studied carefullythe alcohol guidance （指导） for the first time in thirty years.She told people there was no safe level of drinking and advised them to drink no more than 14 units aweek. But researchers say this guidance isn’ t enough and want the government to increase a little price per unit of alcohol.13. What can we learn from the text?A. Alcohol will be the main cause of cancer deaths.B. More people will get away from the habit of drinking.C. The computer model can help researchers to cut down costs on cancer.D. Most people are not clear about the relation between alcohol and cancer.14. What is the researchers’ hope for the government?A. To continue to support the study.B. To put up the price of alcohol properly.C. To control alcohol-related cancer deaths.D. To study the alcohol guidance carefully.15.What may be the best title for the text?A.A Recent Study about CancerB.The Cost of the NHS on AlcoholC.The Discovery of the Causes of CancerD.Alcohol-related cancer over the Coming Years第二节（共 5 小题；每题 2 分，满分10 分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

Do you argue whether it’s cold outdoors or whethe r the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit (限速)?If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story abo ut the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who felt the elephant’s trunk (象鼻) said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant’s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a s pear( 矛 ) as he touched the animal’s tusk. The fourth, who to ok hold of the elephant’s tail insisted that it was like a rope. Th e fifth man said it looked liked a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant’s legs. The last, who was tall and got ho ld of the elephant’s ears, said it was like a huge fan.Each man’s idea of the animal came from his own experience . So if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”,it’s o ften because his experience in the matter is different from you rs.To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his min d about a “simple fact”, try this simple experiment. Get three l arge bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm water (温水)in the third. Now put your left hand in the hot water. Put yo ur right hand in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell y ou the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it is hot.36. The man who touched the elephant’s ears must be very__ _____.A. heavyB. thinC. tallD. strong37. The underlined word “it” in the last line of the paragraph re fers to _______.A. your left handB. your right handC. the waterD. the bowl38. What makes people think about simple facts differently?A. People’s wrong ideas.B. People’s different experience.C. Simple facts are different sometimes.D. People often disagree with each other.39. It can be inferred from the passage that we should_______ ___.A. learn from the blind menB. not agree about simple factsC. never think about simple factsD. never decide anything with one sideBEach year the Pritzker Architecture Prize (普立兹克建筑奖) goes to a star designer with a long list of attractive buildin gs around the world. This year’s winner is a little different. Shigeru Ban has designed museums, homes and concert hall s. But Ban is best known for a more simple kind of work: the t emporary (暂时的) buildings for people who became homeless after disasters .Ban may be the only designer in the world who makes buildin gs out of paper — cardboard paper tubes (管). Ban actually te sted the strength of cardboard tubes, and said he was surpris ed by what he had discovered. He has used them to build temporary buildings in Japan, Haiti, China and elsewhere. “After a disaster, the building material is going to be more ex pensive,” Ban explains. “But the paper tube is actually not a b uilding material. It is cheap and plentiful. We can get the mate rial easily anywhere. And unlike costs for traditional building materials, the price of paper tubes doesn’t jump after an earth quake or flood. The tubes are also lightweight, so you don’t n eed heavy machines to work with them.”Ban started using cardboard paper tubes in the 1980s. At that time he had just graduated from the architecture school, and he was looking for a cheap substitute for wood. So he started reusing the paper cardboard tubes that were left over from roll s of paper in his office.Ban was born in Tokyo and studied architecture in the U.S. be fore moving back to Japan to start his practice. Some of Ban’s temporary buildings have become permanent (永久的), like the paper church he built after the 1995 earthquake in Kobe, Japan.40.

He failed to get this year’s architecture prize.B. He graduated from the best architecture school in the U.S.C. He is good at building houses for homeless people.D. He builds special houses for special groups of people.42. Why did Shigeru Ban choose cardboard paper tubes?A. Because they are cheap and easy to take away.B. Because they are strong and last for a long time.C. Because they are plentiful and look very beautiful.D. Because they are common and hard to break.43. What does the underlined word “substitute” probably refer to?A. A new way of building houses by using wood.B. A new method of producing cardboard paper tubes.C. A new kind of building material to take the place of wood.D. A new machine to produce a new kind of building material.CTwo men were sitting together in a plane. They were on a long journey.
