When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown （皱眉头）, 21 when he saw it was Amy, a broad 22 changed his entire face as he said, “Hello Miss Amy. I see you’ve got a little 23 with you today.”Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying 24 and they were going to listen to music and play games.

She was inspired by her dad, who had been a fighter when he was younger. But when she first told her dad that she wanted to box, he said, “No! No! Boxing is a man’s sport.” It made Claressa so mad. Claressa wouldn’t back down. “I wanted to fight. I knew that whatever I put my heart and my work into, I was going to be successful at it,” she says.Finally, her dad took her to the boxing gym to start training. She was the only girl. Claressa now has a boxing record of 23 wins and zero losses. “I think you’re right,”her dad told her not long ago. He’s proud that she proved him wrong.Boxing can be dangerous. How does Claressa feel when she steps into the boxing ring（拳击场）? “I’m not nervous. And I’ve never gotten into the ring thinking that a girl can beat me,” she says.But Claressa takes the competitions seriously. “I always tell myself it’s going to be harder than I think,” she says. “I fight them all like they are world champions. If I think it’s going go be easy, I’m done!”Claressa will need all her confidence this month. From May 9 to May 20, she will be in China. There, she’ll fight in the Women’s World Boxing Championships. Claressa must place in the top eight in her weight class out of all the women boxers in the world. Otherwise she can’t go to the Olympics, even though she’s on the U.S. Olympic team.We asked Claressa to imagine stepping into the ring at the Olympics. Would it feel any different from her other fights? “No,” she says. “Just a fight. Just another girl in my way.”36. When Claressa first told her father she wanted to be a boxer, he ___________.A. kept silentB. didn’t support herC. took her to start trainingD. gave her some useful advice37. When Claressa steps into the boxing ring, she is ____________.A. violent and wildB. proud and relaxedC. serious and patientD. confident and calm38. What can we learn about Claressa from the text? ___________A. She loves China greatly.B. She will take part in the Olympics.C. She has the best boxing record in the world.D. She is a member of the U.S. Olympic team.39. What’s the best title for this text? _____________A. A fashionable lifestyleB. Fighting for her dream.高二英语第3页共11页C. Being a successful womanD. A future Olympic championBWhat do John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Ronald Reagan and John Lennon have in common? Well, apart from the fact that all three were shot, they all have airports named after them. JFK is in New York. Ronald Reagan Airport is in Washington DC. And John Lennon Airport is in Liverpool.In fact, quite a few royals also get an airport. Princess Julian Airport is on the Dutch island of Saint Martin, and Queen Beatrix Airport is on Aruba. President George Bush had Houston International, and Gerald Ford gets a small airport in Grand Rapids, Michigan.The world of entertainment had done quite well, too. New Orleans has its airport named after the jazz star Louis Armstrong. US film star John Wayne is getting an airport in Santa Ana, California. The Italians play tribute to pioneering figures Christopher Columbus and Leonardo da Vince at airports in Genoa and Rome. Both are surely worth an airport, even if neither ever actually flew.So, what’s the world’s busiest airport? For many years, London’s Heathrow Airport had this title, but this is now argued. Although Heathrow does have the largest number of international passengers every year, Frankfurt Airport flies to the most international destinations, however, the airport with the most passengers and flights is Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in the U.S., which serviced 88 million passengers and 970,235 fights in 2009.The world’s largest airport is also a fiercely contested title. Riyadh’s King Khalid international Airport covers 484 square miles, and is now regarded as the champion. However, first place is about to pass to the Dubai World Central-AlMaktoum International Airport, which has been open to passenger traffic since 2011, although it won’t be fully complete until 2013. it’ll be about to meet the needs of 160 million passengers per year with its four terminals （候机厅）and five runways.What about runways? Well, the longest airport runway is Qamdo Bangda Airport in China at 5,500 meters. The shortest is Saba International Airport in the British Virgin Islands, at only 400 meters.40. What does the underlined part “pay tribute to” in Paragraph 3 means? ______A. KeepB. WatchC. PraiseD. Show41. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph? ________A. Frankfurt Airport is bigger than Heathrow Airport.B. It’s hard to say which the world’s busiest airport is.C. The busiest airport should have the most passengers.D. The airport servicing the most flights in London.42. According to the text, the Dubai World Central-AlMaktoum International Airport _________.A. had been put into use.B. has an area of 484 square miles.C. had become the world’s largest airport.D. transported 160 million passengers in 2011.CFlorida teen Felicia Frisco loves her cat, will. She plays with him, feeds him, and even sleeps with him every night.Sounds like a normal cat, right? Not quite. Will is Bengal tiger.Six in ten Americans own some type of pet --- a dog, a cat, or maybe a hamster. Such animals can live among humans. Will, however, is an “exotic pet.”In fact, as many as 18 million Americans own exotic pets, from monkeys to snakes tokangaroos.Why would you want to own such an animal---especially one that could eat you? There are lots of reasons. Owning an exotic pet can be a way to express your personality. For some, these pets are status （身份）symbols --- a way to show off. But just look at Paris Hilton. In 2005, she raised a honey bear, a small mammal native to Central and South America. She liked it very much until one day it bit her so deeply that she had to go the hospital.Luckily, Hilton made a full recovery. Exotic pets can attract their owners at any moment because they’re wild. They have instinct （本能）we can’t always predict or control. Some people say it’s cruel to remove animals from their natural habitats.Or course, exotic pets, when cared for responsibly, can be wonderful company. As professional animal handlers, Felicia’s parents can give will a good life. But not everyone is so knowledgeable.The fact is exotic pets are a lot of work and a lot of money. (Felicia’s parents spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on will every year.) As a result, many owners end up ignoring or even throwing away their animals.Though there are the risks, may Americans are willing to raise an exotic pet.As for Felicia and Will? Some experts say a tiger shouldn’t ever share a bed with a person. Zookeeper Jack Hanna compares it to sleeping with a bomb （炸弹）. But Felicia isn’t concerned. She says that raising Will is “kind of like raising a dog.”Yeah … kind of.43. According to the text, exotic pets refer to those animals that ___________.A. are unusual.B. are endangered.C. can protect humans.D. can live with people.44. What can we learn from the text? ________________.A. No more than 50% of Americans own pets.B. Keeping pets can reduce tee ns’ pressure.C. Paris Hilton gave up keeping her pet after she was hurt.D. Felicia’s parents look after her pet in a professional way.45. How does zookeeper Jack Hanna feel about a tiger living with a person? _______A. WorriedB. ShockedC. ConfusedD. Disappointed46. What does the author mainly discuss in this text? __________A. Is it necessary to keep a pet?B. Should a tiger be your pet?C. How should we take care of our pets?D. Should teens share a bed with their pets?DIn 1862, Charles Darwin made a prediction --- a moth （蛾）with an 11-inch-long tongue lived on the island of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean.A friend had sent Darwin a plant called the Christmas Star orchid. It produced star-shaped flowers in December and grew only in the forests of Madagascar, near the east coast of Africa.The key to Darwin’s prediction was a strange part of the plant, an 11-inch-long tube hanging from its flower. He could make his prediction just by looking at the strange flower because he knew how plants make seeds.The pollinator （传粉者）, such as a bird, bee, or moth, visits flowers to drink the nectar, a sugary liquid. The flower holds the pollen near the nectar. While the animal is taking the nectar, the animal cannot avoid having pollen stick to its body. At the next flower, pollen comes off, and that second flower can make a new seed.高二英语第5页共11页Darwin knew that the long tube on the Christmas Star orchid was important because it held the nectar that a pollinator would come to drink. But what animal had a tongue almost a foot long?The Christmas Star orchid gave off a sweet smell but only at night. Its white petals were easy to see in the dark. Both of these clues pointed to a nighttime pollinator. Darwin also knew that the orchids grow far apart. A pollinator would have to be a strong, fast flier to make its way from one flower to another. These clues pointed to a moth. Most moths are active at night, and most are strong fliers. And they drink nectar through a tongue-like feeding organ.Darwin predicted that someday a moth with a long tongue would be found in Madagascar.A few scientists made fun of his prediction. No one had ever seen a moth with an 11-inch-long tongue.Scientists searched for 41 years. Finally, in 1903 (21 years after Darwin’s death) a new type of moth with an 11-inch-long tongue was discovered in Madagascar.47. Which of the following is a picture of the Christmas Star orchid?48. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us ____________.A. how plants make seedsB. why the nectar tastes like sugarC. what animals like to drink nectarD. where flowers hold the pollen49. How did Darwin make his prediction?A. By studying the behavior of moths.B. By researching into different pollinators.C. By gathering information about Madagascar.D. By observing the Christmas Star orchid closely.50. According to the text, Darwin’s prediction___________.A. was made 100 years ago.B. proved to be completely right.C. was made with the help of his friend.D. won other scientists’ support immediately.IV. 单词拼写（共5小题, 每小题1分, 共5分）根据下列各句句意和空白之后的汉语提示词, 在答题卡指定区域的横线上写出对应单词的正确形式, 每空只写一词。

You have to push the door with the word “PUSH” to go out of the building and to pull the door with the word “PULL” to 14 the building. This was new to me, because we use the 15 door in South Korea. For quite a few times I failed to go out of a shopping centre and was embarrassed.The way of using school bus doors was also 16 to me. I used to take the school bus to classes. The school decided that when the driver opened both the front and back doors, 17 who were getting off the bus should get off first, and students who were getting on should get on 18 . In South Korea, we do not need to wait for people to get off. One morning, I hurried to the bus, and when the bus doors opened, I 19 tried to get on the school bus through the front door.

But everything 23 last week in Beijing.I was eating dinner with some friends. As I was getting ready to pay, a young Chinese woman came running up to me. I was 24 that I must have done something horrible to offend her without 25 it.“You are a white man,” she said 26 when she got to our table.“Yes, I am a white man,” I replied.“Can you speak 27 ?” she asked.“Yes.”“Oh good. Come with me now, please.”I walked outside and saw that a movie was being shot in front of one of the street’s largest 28 .The woman, a talent agent, had 29 a foreigner for this movie, but he had forgotten to 30 . She needed to find a white guy who spoke English, and I was the only one 31 . My part was to walk from one end of the street to the other, and then 32 the club. When I got to the club, I was supposed to 33 to my friend and say, “Forget about the girl, man. We are here to party!” It t ook me three tries to say the line 34 or walk without tripping, but 35 I got it right.The talent scout ran to me afterward. “You are so 36 . I would like you to join my agency.” I know I am not going to be the next Jay Chou. 37 , it seems that my 38 “star” talents are being white and being able to speak English.39 , next time you are watching a Chinese movie, look in the 40 .

What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city’s lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.“My family was so frustrated,”admitted town resident Duane Cosby, “We wantedto make this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.”Astronomers---scientists who study stars and planets----have been complaining about this problem for decades. They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past. They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it.There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution. This population consists of birds, bats, frogs, snakes, etc. For example, outdoor lighting severely affects migrating(迁徙的)birds. According to the International Dark-Sky Association. “100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.”Countless more animals casualties(伤亡）result from the use of artificial lighting. Clearly, people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans, too. They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase person’s chances of getting cancer.Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution. For years, Flagstaff, Arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory. Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other creatures can share the night.46. It happened last night that .A. the meteors flew past before being noticedB. the city light show attracted many peopleC. the meteor watching ended up a social outingD. the city’s lights affected the meteor watching47. What do the astronomers complain about?A. Meteor showers occur less often than before.B. Light pollution has remained unsolved for years.C. Their observation equipment is in poor repair.D. Their eyesight is failing due to artificial lighting.48. What is the author concerned about according to Paragraph 4?A. Animals’ survival is threatened by outdoor lighting.B. Birds may take other migration paths.C. Animal’ living habits may change suddenly.D. Varieties of animals will become sharply reduced.49. Lighting regulations in Flagstaff, Arizona are put into effect to_______.A. lessen the chance of getting cancerB. ensure citizens a good sleep at nightC. create an ideal observation conditionD. enable all creatures to live in harmony50. What message does the author most want to give us?A. Human activities should be environmentally friendly.B. Saving wildlife is saving ourselves.C. Great efforts should be made to save energy.D. New equipment should be introduced for space study.CIn my living room, there is a plaque (匾) that advises me to “Bloom (开花) where you are planted.”It reminds me of Dorothy. I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s, when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky. The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program. Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.Dorothy taught in a school in Harlan County, Kentucky, Appalachian Mountain area. To get to her school from the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the mountain. In the eight-mile journey, I crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, I found it depressing. The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom (忧郁) disappeared. Upon arriving at Dorothy’s classroom, I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects. Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner”(lunch). In case you don’t know, poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground.Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. Her enthusiasm never cooled down. When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification, Dorothy was ready. She came to the assessment and passed in all areas. Afterward, she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her Ph. D. degree. After the meal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand. She said it was a family heirloom (传家宝), but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things.51. “Early Childhood Development” in Paragraph 1 refers to __________.A. a program directed by DorothyB. a course given by the authorC. an activity held by the studentsD. an organization sponsored by Union college52. In the journey, the author was most disappointed at seeing __________.A. the poor housesB. the long trackC. the same trainD. the winding road53. Upon arriving at the classroom, the author was cheered up by __________.A. Dorothy’s latest projectsB. the sight of poke greensC. a warm welcomeD. a big dinner made for her54. What can we know about Dorothy from the last paragraph?A. She was invited to a celebration at a restaurant.B. She got a pen as a gift from the author.C. She received her Ph.D. degree.D. She passed the required assessment.55. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?A. Whatever you do, you must do it carefully.B. Whoever you are, you deserve equal treatment.C. Wherever you are, you can accomplish your achievement.D. However poor you are, you have the right to education.DIt’s such a happy-looking library, painted yellow, decorated with palm-tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof. About the size of a microwave oven, it’s pedestrian-friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach country Estates, along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.It’s a library built with love.A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization, a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “That’s what we’re going to do for our spring break!”Son Austin, now a 10th-grader, didn’t see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he’d built years earlier for daughter Abbie’s toy horses, and made a door of glass. After adding the library’s final touches (装点), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book,” and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.They stocked it with 20 or so books they’d already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids’favorites. “I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again,” said Janey, a stay-at-home mom.Since then, the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day. The project’s best payoff, says Peter, are the thank-you notes left behind. “We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.”56. In what way is the library “pedestrian-friendly”?A. It owns a yellow roof.B. It protects book lovers from the sun.C. It stands near a sidewalk.D. It uses palm-tree stickers as decorations.57. Janey got the idea to build a library from __________.A. a visit to Brian WilliamsB. a report on a Wisconsin-based organizationC. a spring break with her familyD. a book sent by one of her neighbors58. The library was built __________.A. like a mailboxB. by a ship supply companyC. on the basis of toy horsesD. with glass59. What can we infer about the signboard?A. It was made by a user of the library.B. It aimed at making the library last long.C. It marked a final touch to the library.D. It indicated the library was a family property.60. The passage tells us that the users __________.A. get paid to collect books for the libraryB. receive thank-you notes for using the libraryC. visit the library over 5 times on average dailyD. donate books to the libraryEWhen asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get.For kids, happiness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved(毫不掩饰的).In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly it’s conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.In adulthood the things that bring deep joy---love, marriage, birth---also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults, happiness is complicated.My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It’s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love. When the kids and my husband came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I don’t think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her.We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing we’ve got to have. We’re so self-conscious about our “right”to it that it’s making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren’t necessarily happier.Happiness isn’t about what happens to us----it’s about how we see what happens to us. It’s the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. It’s notwishing for what we don’t have, but enjoying what we do possess.61. As people grow older, they_____________.A. tend to believe responsibility means happinessB. feel it harder to experience happinessC. associate their happiness less with othersD. will take fewer risks in pursuing happiness62. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 5 and 6?A. She is easily pleased by things in daily life.B. She cares little about her own health.C. She enjoys the freedom of traveling.D. She prefers getting pleasure from housework.63. What can be inferred from Paragraph 7?A. Grandma’s happiness came from modest expectations of life.B. Psychologists think satisfying work is key to happiness.C. Psychologists’ opinion is well proved by Grandma’s case.D. Grandma often found time for social gatherings.64. People who equal happiness with wealth and success____________.A. consider pressure something blocking their wayB. are at a loss to make correct choicesC. stress their right to happiness too muchD. are more likely to be happy65. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Happiness lies between the positive and the negative.B. Each man is the master of his own fate.C. Success leads to happiness.D. Happy is he who is content.第II卷第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）阅读下面短文并回答问题（请注意每小题后面的词数要求）。

I poured out all my bitterness to him. Dad straightened up tiredly and turned to me. He asked, “What does a scholarship jacket mean?”I answered quickly. He went back to hoeing the weeds quietly. Finally he spoke again as I turned to leave, crying. “Then if you pay for it, Martha, it’s not a scholarship jacket, is it? Tell your headmaster I will not pay the fifteen dollars.”It was a very sad and upset girl who dragged into the headmaster’s office the next day. I sat very straight in the chair, trying to work up the courage to tell him Dad’s decision. “My father said he wouldn’t pay the fifteen dollars and if I had to pay for it, then it wouldn’t be a scholarship jacket.” The words slipped out of my mouth. The headmaster walked over to the window and stood looking out at something outside. Feeling hopeless, I stood up to leave. I was almost to the door when he stopped me. I turned and looked at him, waiting. He watched me, biting his lip. “Okay. We’ll make an exception in your case. I’ll tell the Board, you’ll get your jacket.”。
