绝密★启用前吉林一中2013--2014学年度上学期高二期中考试英语测试试卷考试范围：xxx ；考试时间：100分钟；命题人：xxx注意事项：1．答题前填写好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息 2．请将答案正确填写在答题卡上第I 卷（选择题）请修改第I 卷的文字说明 一、补全短文1. _1__.If you give and give without making time to fill your own need s, then it’s likely you will burn out, or feel upset. When you take and take without giving back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values. I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values. __2__I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that are willing to make a commitment to live by. An example of some being values are :kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through youractions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose.__3__.These could be companionship, achievement, and support, being valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.When you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. _4__.If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be ---this is the key to personal power.When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce your chosen beliefs. ___5___.A．Young people have a different set of values.B．You feel that you have a responsibility to help them.C．Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy.D．Your being values are the character traits （特征，特点）of the ideal person you would like to be.E. You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving.F. A calm person might go for a walk, meditate, or set a time limit before responding.G. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world , and in turn the way other people think of you.2. Why have you been so successful in reaching some of your goals, but not others? If you aren't sure, you are far from alone in your confusion. It turns out that even brilliant, highly accomplished people are pretty lousy when it comes to understanding why they succeed or fail. The intuitive answer — that you are born predisposed to certain talents and lacking in others — is really just one small piece of the puzzle. In fact, decades of research on achievement suggests that successful people reach their goals not simply because of who they are, but more often because of what they do. 11. Get specific. When you set yourself a goal, try to be as specific as possible. "Lose 5 pounds" is a better goal than "lose some weight," because it gives you a clear idea of what success looks like.2 Also, think about the specific actions that need to be taken to reach your goal.2. 3Given how busy most of us are, and how many goals we are juggling at once, it's not surprising that we routinely miss opportunities to act on a goal because we simply fail to notice them. Did you really have no time to work out today? No chance at any point to return that phone call? Achieving your goal means grabbing hold of these opportunities before they slip through your fingers.3. Know exactly how far you have left to go.Achieving any goal also requires honest and regular monitoring of your progress — if not by others, then by you yourself. If you don't know how well you are doing, you can't adjust your behavior or your strategies accordingly.4It is my hope that, after reading about the nine things successful people do differently, you have gained some insight into all the things you have been doing right all along. Remember:5. It's never what you are, but what you do.Wait for opportunities to appearSeize the moment to act on your goalsHere are things successful people do differentlyNext I’ll talk about my own experience on how to achieve successYou don’t need to become a different person to become a more successful oneCheck your progress frequently-weekly, or even daily, depending on the goalKnowing exactly what you want to achieve keeps you motivated until you get there第II卷（非选择题）请修改第II卷的文字说明二、单项选择3. --Who should be responsible for the accident?--The boss,not the workers.They just carried out the order___________.A.as toldB.as are toldC.as tellingD.as they told4.

People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a 1 problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking; they try to find a solution by trial and error. 2 , when all of these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six 3 in analyzing a problem.4 the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bic ycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must5 that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the person must find the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must 6 the parts that are wrong.Now the person must look for 7 that will make the problem clearer and lead to 8 solutions. For example, suppose Sam decides that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. 9 ,he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, 10 his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.After 11 the problem, the person should have 12 suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example 13 ,his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.In the end, one 14 seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the 15 idea comes quite 16 because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a 17 way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖) stuck to a brake. He 18 hits on the solution to his problem: he must 19 the brake.Finally the solution is 20 .Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly. In short he has solved the problem.1.A.serious ual C.similar mon2.A.Besides B.Instead C.Otherwise D.However3.A.ways B.conditions C.stages D.orders4.A.First uallyC.In generalD.Most importantly5.A.explain B.prove C.show D.see6.A.check B.determine C.correct D.recover7.A.answers B.skills C.explanation rmation8.A.possible B.exact C.real D.special9.A.In other words B.Once in a whileC.First of allD.At this time10.A.look for B.talk to C.agree with D.depend on11.A.discussing B.settling down paring with D.studying12.A.extra B.enough C.several D.countless13.A.secondly B.again C.also D.alone14.A.suggestion B.conclusion C.decision D.discovery15.A.next B.clear C.final D.new16.A.unexpectedly te C.clearly D.often17.A.simple B.different C.quick D.sudden18.A.fortunately B.easily C.clearly D.immediately19.A.clean B.separate C.loosen D.remove20.A.recorded pleted C.tested D.accepted21.

One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found that he only had one dime (一角银币) left. He was hungry so he decided to 1 for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. 2 ameal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked 3 so she brought him a large gl ass of milk.

They are long cloths on which pictures of horses and scriptures（经文）are printed. People often put these flags on top of houses, or leave them where a vehicle accident happened. They prevent evil spirits from injuring people again.A wind-horse flag can be white, yellow, red, green or blue. These five colors symbolize the five elements that form the world; earth, water, fire, wind and sky. Another explanations that red is the sun, green is the grassland, yellow is the earth, blue is the sky, and white is the cloud.The wind-horse flag originated with a monk who obtained a scripture from India. When he crossed a river, he carelessly dropped the scripture into the water. He quickly saved the scripture and spread it out on a big rock to dry as he sat in meditation（默想）. Suddenly violent thunder sounded like drums. The monk felt liberated（解放的）from all of his sadness, and when he opened his eyes he saw that the scripture had been blown into the sky by a strong wind.Finally, he went straight to heaven.In order to honor the spirit of the monk and the Buddhist scripture, people printed the scripture on a piece of cloth and hung it up between the sky and the earth as though the scripture was flying in the sky.We also know why people put the wind-horse flag on the top of mountains and houses. The Tibetan ancestors had a very great idea about chanting scripture. They thought people not only could chant scripture, but also the five elements. The wind-home flag is a good example of how they use the wind to blow the flag, which means that the wind also chants scripture.1. The second paragraph is mainly about the wind-horse flag’s ________.A. colorsB. stylesC. materialsD. functions2. What happened when the monk meditated?A. He felt very sad about his mistake.B. The scripture was blown into the sky.C. He was punished by the gods.D. Many wind-house flags were flying.3. According to the passage, the origin of the wind-horse flag is based on ________.A. a historical eventB. an ancient customC. a religious taleD. a vehicle accident4. Why do people put wind-horse flags on the top of mountains and houses?A. The wind-house flags are safer there.B. The wind-house flags can be nearer to the sky.C. People can see the wind-house flags more clearly.D. People believe the wind can also chant scripture.26. Researchers have identified an area in the brain that alerts us in less than a second to an upcoming mist ake so we don’t repeat it.Scientists have long known that mistakes are conducive to learning, suggesting the reason lies in our feeling of surprise which happens as soon as we find out we are wrong. But how the brain manages to learn from mistakes and how quickly it does so have been unknown.―It’s a bit of a cliché (陈词滥调) to say that we learn more from our mistakes than our successes,‖ said lead author of the study Andy Wills, a psychologist a t the University of Exeter, ―but for the first time we’ve found just how quickly the brain works to help us avoid repeating errors.‖The scientists monitored the brain activity of a group of volunteers as they made predictions based on information read on a computer screen. Then, they weregiven new information that made many of the predictions incorrect. The participants had to learn from the mistake in order to recognize the error next time around.The researchers measured activity in the lower region of the brain, near the temples(太阳穴), which is responsible for processing visual information. ―By monitoring activity in the brain as it occurs, we were able to identify the moment at which this mechanism comes into action,‖ Wills said. Activity increased immediately after the individual saw the new information appear on the computer screen — within 0.1 seconds — before there was time for any conscious consideration.Most previous research had focused on the brain’s frontal lobes （额叶）, which are associated with complex thought processes, such as planning and conscious decision-making. This study, announced recently and published in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, indicates the brain reacts to mistakes before information even gets processed consciously. The scientists call it an ―early warning signal‖ from a lower region of the brain.1. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Brain can quickly warn us of potential errors.B. Brain manages information in different ways.C. Study has found why people make mistakes.D. Study has proved any mistake can be avoided.2. The underlined word ―conducive‖ in Para. 2 probably means ―______‖.A. necessaryB. helpfulC. particularD. harmful3. According to the text, the frontal lobes ______.A. prevent us from making repeated mistakesB. oversee thought processes in the brainC. have nothing to do with making mistakesD. have something to do with processing conscious information4. It can be inferred from the text that one key to the study is ______.A. the volunteers’ brain is in good healthB. the mistake first impresses the volunteersC. many of the volunteers predict wronglyD. information is showed on a computer screen。

AAfter a terrible electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a plough and a wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.21.The reason for Robert’s attempts to kill himself was that _________.A. a terrible traffic accident happened to himB. he had to live in a dark and silent worldC. he was struck by the lightning once moreD. nobody in the world cared about him22.What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning?A.

He hardly ever wears a neck tie. “I am working harder than ever.” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday（but only on Friday）. This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code.” “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative（保守的）dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale（心境，士气）. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”29.David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict,” because ________.A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirtB. he couldn’t stand a clean app earanceC. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the timeD. he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes30.David Smith wears casual clothes now, because__________.A. they make him feel at ease when workingB. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothesC. he looks handsome in casual clothesD. he no longer works for any company31.In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT __________.A. saving employees’ moneyB. making employees more attractiveC. impro ving employees’ motivationD. making employees happierDIn Los Angeles, drivers spend sixty-one hours every year stuck in traffic. These drivers know all too well how bad the traffic can be. “There're too many cars, and you can't move around a lot.”Professor Cyrus Shahabi also knows about traffic jams. He lives more than 65 kilometers from his office at the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles. He is always late even with the help of a navigation (导航) system.He decided to develop a program called ClearPath for that. He says his program uses historical data to predict traffic conditions even before the driver leaves the house. “What’s unique is that we use a lot of data that’s currently become available including traffic data, weather data, and we analyze that so that we can predict what's going to happen in front of you when you leave home.”Professor Shahabi says his system does more than just respond to current traffic conditions. With ClearPath, he says, a driver can decide what time he wants to leave, and ClearPath will give the fastest route. It looks at the entire road network, including surface streets as well as highways, before the driver hits the road. Professor Shahabi hopes to have ClearPath available nationwide and overseas once they can collect traffic data from other cities.“I always thought that Los Angeles had the worst traffic, but now I know that Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, believe it or not, Singapore, Hong Kong certainly are examples that can immediately use this. ”Professor Shahabi hopes to share this new technology with companies that already have navigation systems, such as Google and Apple.32.Drivers in Los Angeles were mentioned in order to__________.A. show care for themB. introduce their lifeC. solve traffic problemsD. raise the topic33.What is unique about ClearPath?A. It can use a lot of information all over the world.B. It can ensure that you will never be late for work.C. It helps drivers see clearly what happens on the road.D. It helps drivers know the road conditions ahead of time.34.The underlined word “hits” in the fifth paragraph probably means __________.A. have an accidentB. get toC. turn left or rightD. collect traffic data35.What's Professor Shahabi’s attitude toward his invention?A. Disappointed.B. Proud.C. Optimistic.D. Worried.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。
