There are serious papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere, both at home and abroad. There are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment to information.The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably the Times. It began in 1785, and has a high reputation for believable news and serious opinions on the news. It calls itself an independent paper, which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editors, not those of the owners of the paper.Letters to the editor are printed in the newspaper. These parts of the Times are always interesting. Most of the letters are serious subjects. But from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion of dress, or the bad manners of the young people, compared with manners of thirty years ago.4. If you want to get pleasure, please buy yourself _________.A. a serious newspaperB. foreign newspaperC. any independent paperD. a popular newspaper5. The Times has been famous to outside Great Britain for ________ years.A. 19B. 85C. 236D. 2296. The Times is an independent paper because ________.A. it supports no political partiesB. it is not controlled by the British GovernmentC. it gives special support to all the political parties.D. the editor’s opinions are not examined by the owners of the paper7. The underlined word “vary” in the passage probably means “_________”.A. improveB. compete with each otherC. are differentD. keep in touch with each otherCAbout 12 years ago, Sandy Cambron noticed her mother, Pearl Walker, had become quiet after she moved into a nursing home for patients of Alzheimer's disease inKentucky.“We tried everything — photos, old stories — but nothing worked,” she said. “It was really hard for everyone to see how she had changed.” Then one day whileSandywas in a toy store, she had an idea: Why not givePearla baby doll so she could feel as if she were caring for something again? And why not give one to all the other care center seniors?As soon asSandygavePearlthe doll, her mother's face lit up. “She started talking again and she never went anywhere without that baby,”Sandysaid. “She took 'baby' to the dining room with her and slept with her in her arms every night. When she passed away a year later, we even buried her with that well-loved baby doll.”In the following 10 years, Sandy and her husband, Wayne Cambron, continued to buy dolls and hand them out to the elderly of care centers near their home every New Year. Now Pearl's Memory Babies is anonprofit (非营利) organization that has contributed more than 300 dolls to old people with Alzheimer's disease at nursing homes since February 2018.Last year,Sandyposted New Year’s photos on Facebook, all of which are about seniors reacting to dolls thatshe and Wayne sent to a local nursing home. The post was shared more than 210,000 times overnight. People gave almost $15,000 online. That helped the group buy many dolls.“The dolls offer treatment and comfort,” said Elise Hinchman, who works at a care center inKentucky, "Someseniors cry when they get a doll. And they always rock and talk to their dolls. People with Alzheimer might lose their memories, but they don't lose their ability to love.”8. How did Pearl change after she moved to a nursing home?A. She hardly talked.B. She lost hope in life.C. She felt bored.D. She forgot everything.9. How didPearlreact after receiving the doll?A. She began to cry.B. She was very delighted.C. She played it with a baby.D. She was unconcerned about it.10. What's paragraph 5 mainly about?A. What Sandy did for her mother.B. People's reaction toSandy's post.C. The rising needs for baby dolls.D. HowSandybecame a celebrity.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Good News for Alzheimer's PatientsB. How to Remove Alzheimer's DiseaseC. Baby Dolls Cheer up Alzheimer's PatientsD. Daughter Helps Mother Recover MemoryDHave you ever noticed that some people can eat what they want and stay in shape, while others carefully watch what they eat and still put on weight? How annoying! However, scientists are beginning to believe that some people get the ability to stay thin from their parents.Scientists say that when some people eat, their bodies will naturally store the excess energy from food as fat. These people gain weight if they eat more than they need each day. Meanwhile, other people eat more than they need but their bodies are able to “burn off” the extra food without making fat, so they rarely have weight problems.To show that this is true, scientists have experimented on laboratory mice. They gave the mice a special diet with a lot of fat. Some mice gained weight while the other mice stayed thin, even though both groups of mice ate the same amount of food and got the same amount of exercise. Scientists concluded that weight gain seemed to be influenced by genetic (基因的) factors. They also believe they have now identified the genes that may cause this tendency. These genes, according to the scientists, get passed down the generations. Armed with this knowledge, they believe it may be possible to develop medicines thatcan target the genes and stop people fromgaining weight.The study of weight gain is becoming more important as the numbers of people who are overweight continues to grow. In theUnited States, over seventy percent of the population have weight problems. This means they are at risk of illness such as high blood pressure and heart disease.Current medicines for weight control do not work very well because they can have serious side effects, such as heart problems. However, it takes a long time to develop and thoroughly test new drugs. Therefore, despite this breakthrough in the study of weight-loss drugs, scientists and health professionals all agree that currently the best way to control weight gain is to have a healthy, balanced diet and an active lifestyle with daily exercise. This will not only help people avoid becoming overweight, but also help them stay healthy and energetic.12. According to the scientists, some people ________.A. are able to stay thin because of genetic factorsB. can eat what they want and stay healthy foreverC. usually keep doing exercise to lose their weightD. don’t eat anything every day but still put on weight13. Some people don’t need to worry about weight problems because ________.A. they eat many vegetablesB. they eat less than othersC. they don’t store any energy from food as fatD. they can burn off the extra food without making fat14. What can we learn from the passage?A. Fewer people will have weight problems in the future.B. People with weight problems may suffer from heart trouble.C. We now have good medicine for people with weight problems.D. The result of the experiments on mice and humans are different.15. What does the last paragraph imply?A. Current medicine solve weight problems well.B. We should exercise regularly and eat properly.C. Taking exercise every day may cause heart problems.D. Testing new drugs is hard because of the side effects.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

高二（上）期中英语试卷得分Counting the votes took about five minutes，but it seemed like an hour for me．Captain of the cheerleaders is quite an honor．At least that's what I was (1)．As Coach Maguire appeared，all eyes zeroed in (2) her．"Girls，" she began．"It's my pleasure to announce that Terry Shaw has been elected Captain of the cheerleading team．" A great cheer was heard throughout the gym．How (3) this be？I hadn't (4) a practice，or a game，in the three years．Was everyone blind？Didn't they realize that I had worked three years to (5) the title？All the way home，I sobbed．The next morning，I held my uniform close to me．I knew I couldn't(6)．As heartbroken as I was，my true love was (7) with my teammates．How very (8) it was to go to that first practice after Terry had been named captain．When I arrived，Terry asked me if I had any ideas on how to improve our routines and talked about how we could make the team better．We？Was she kidding？I just wanted to (9) her and she kept making it harder and harder for me to do that．It wasn't just that she showed interest in me-her interest was warm and (10)．Terry always made sure to (11) me when discussing changes in our routine and eventually I (12) myself and we grew to be very close friends．At the end of the year，the annual Sports Award Banquet was organized．We decorated the hall，talking about all the good times we had (13) during our last year together．I just wanted to (14) that moment in time．Later in the evening we arrived and listened as the various trophies were awarded to the most valuable player of each sports team．Of course the team captains all received trophies too．With great (15) I cheered for Terry．Just as Terry walked off the stage，Coach Maguire stepped up to the microphone again and announced that there was one final trophy to be awarded．The cheerleading "Spirit Award" would now be presented to the girl who showed the most dedicated (16)．When I heard my name announced I imagined I was as (17)．Terry was coming toward me．We hugged each other，and Terry whispered，"Nobody (18) this more than you．"Terry never knew that quitting was all I had on my mind the day she was named captain．She read the (19) in my shallow words of congratulations and embraced me in spite of myself，planting tiny seeds of kindness and respect．From her effort grew a (20) that，to this day，I hold close to my heart．1.

A. hold B. earn C. give D. defend6. A. quit B. delay C. practise D. reply7. A. competing B. studying C. cheering D. communicating8. A. hard B. pleasant C. normal D. unforgettable9.

A. nervous B. shocked C. determined D. proud18. A. doubts B. completes C. deserves D. requires19. A. admiration B. sympathyC. courageD. disappointment20. A. belief B. challenge C. promise D. friendshipBDear Madam，Welcome back to school．My child is so happy to be in your class this year．We know you care so much about your students．I want to tell you a little bit about my child．Although he really loves to learn，he is somewhat anxious about being back in school again．My child is thought to be gifted and that has brought some unexpected challenges to him and our family．To many people，being gifted means he will do very well in school，but thathasn't always been true for him．He is just a kid thinking differently，and he sometimes struggles in school．Last year，school wasn't easy for him for a few reasons．He may be ahead a few grade levels in some subjects，but not in all subjects．He just doesn't do better in all areas all the time．And although he may seem older than his years，he doesn't always behave like you would think he should．I'm sure you know how gifted children can be emotionally immature -that is exactly my kid．Also，he can be really intense in class when you are teaching one of his favorite topics．He may raise his hand often and constantly talk about what he thinks about it．I'll apologize in advance because he will also likely challenge you on information or facts which he feels are not quite right especially when it's a topic he is hooked on．He is not being impolite and he isn't just being a know-it-all，or a show-off，he is really just very excited to be learning about a subject he feels strong about．He just gets carried away!Last year，he was teased about looking like a know-it-all in school by some of his classmates，which hurts him A LOT．Being teased is part of his fear of going back to school．He fears being called a show-off at school and he feels like he doesn't fit in．His teacher said he often kept to himself and chose to work alone．I know as a teacher，you are incredibly busy，but could you keep an eye out for anyone teasing him or if he seems to be keeping to himself too much？Lastly，his therapist（理疗师）mentioned that because of the teasing and maybe because he was bored last year in school，he is showing signs of becoming an underachiever．Please let me know if his grades start slipping．Thank you for taking the time to read and understand about my child．Don't hesitate to call or email me if there are any problems with him at school．Believe me，we know very well how sensitive，emotional and intense he can be．I hope you have a wonderful school year!Sincerely，Mom of a Gifted Child21.From the passage，we learn that the author's son ______ ．A. fails to get along well with classmatesB. has fallen behind the other studentsC. has lost interest in learningD. is rude to the teachers22.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean？______ ．A. He has been taken away from school．B. He is too excited to control himself．C. He is so absorbed in observing．D. He has been overpraised．23.How does the author feel about her child？______A. Annoyed．B. Proud．C. Pleased．D. Worried．24.Why does the author write the letter？______A. To ask the teacher to reduce children's burden．B. To call on the school to stop school teasing．C. To suggest that his child has special needs．D. To explain how gifted her child is．CJob sharing refers to the situation in which two people divide the responsibility of one full-time job．The two people willingly act as part-time workers，enough hours between them to fulfill the duties of a full-time worker．If they each work half the job，for example，they each receive 50 percent of the job's wages，its holidays and its other benefits．Job sharing differs from conventional （常规的）part-time work in that it occurs mainly in the more highly skilled and professional areas，which require higher levels of responsibility and employee commitment．Job sharing should not be confused with the term work sharing，which refers to increasing the number of jobs by reducing the number of hours of each existing job，thus offering more positions to the growing number of unemployed people．Job sharing，by contrast，is not designed to address unemployment problems；its focus，rather，is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other activities．As would be expected，most job sharers are women．A survey carded out in 1988 by Britain's Equal Opportunities Commission showed that 78 per cent of sharers were female，the majority of whom were between 20 and 40 years of age Subsequent studies have come up with similar results．Many of these women were re-entering the job market after having had children，but they chose not to seek part-time work because it would have meant lower status．Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full-time work after a long absence．The necessity of close cooperation when sharing a job with another person makes the actualwork quite different from conventional one-position jobs．However，to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed，each person needs to know the strengths，weaknesses and preferences of his or her partner before applying for a position．Moreover，there must be a fair division of both routine tasks and interesting ones．In sum，for a position to be job-shared well，the two individuals must be well matched and must treat each other as equals．25.In what way is work sharing different from job sharing？______A. Work sharing requires more working hours．B. Work sharing is aimed at creating more jobs．C. Work sharing provides a more satisfactory salary．D. Work sharing depends on the employer's decision．26.According to Paragraph 4，young mothers preferred job sharing to conventionalpart-time work mainly because ______ ．A. they sought higher social statusB. they were over ideal working agesC. they had difficulty finding full-time jobsD. they had to take care of both work and family27.In job sharing the partners should ______ ．A. enjoy equal social statusB. have similar work experienceC. keep in touch with each otherD. know each other very well28.The main purpose of the passage is to ______ ．A. describe job sharing in generalB. discuss how to provide more jobsC. recommend job sharing to womenD. compare job sharing with work sharingDCollege graduation eventually means taking much of your attention in your first job search．This process can be challenging，especially for those students who had second thoughts about their chosen major and intended career path - or those who majored in a field not directly connected to a specific career．If you are in one of these groups，fear not! Although your major，coursework，and academic performance are relevant to landing a job，they are not the only deciding factors on where you can work．So，just how important isyour major to your job search？Some majors are tied directly to specific career fields．For example，if you wish to become a teacher，you will likely have needed to complete an education program and eventually sit for a licensing exam．Successfully completing a specific major is very important to landing a job in the matching field．Other majors，however，are closely related to career paths but don't necessarily require a degree in the area．For example，students who majored in finance or math，may also have the necessary skills to be hired as an accountant．Lastly，there are many industries，such as professional sales，education （non-teaching positions），insurance，and customer service management，which hire new graduates from several more majors，looking for more generalized （笼统的）requirements．They may simply want to know the student has completed his or her bachelor's degree，which proves students' college-level math and writing，critical thinking，and problem-solving skills．Hopefully，as a college student，you were able to do more than just attend classes．Your non-academic experiences can be very influential on your future career as well．If you worked or volunteered during college and if you enjoyed these activities，seek out related careers．You may qualify for a position regardless of your major．Although it often seems like your college major alone determines your career fate，this just isn't the case．It may influence it，but there are other factors that influence your career options as well．If you don't know what career choices you have，talk to your faculty or academic adviser．You may be surprised at what opportunities await!29.What is probably the best title for the passage？______A. Major Ups Your CareerB. Why Your College Major MattersC. How Important Your Major Is to Your JobD. Major VS Career：Which Is Right for You30.To be a customer service manager，college graduates ______ ．A. need to have related qualitiesB. should pass a licensing examC. are required to major in insuranceD. must have relevant experiences31.The writer thinks that ______ ．A. majors are closely linked to career pathsB. students of finance tend to receive higher salariesC. volunteer experiences help graduates get employedD. social work graduates have more employment opportunities32.Which of the following shows the organization of the passage？______CP：Central Point P：Point Sp：Sub-point（次要点）C：ConclusionA. B.C. D.How to Bring Our Community Together Canada is a nation that prides itself onmulti-culturalism and opportunity．(1) ．Building social connections and a sense of belonging brings people together in ways that strengthen individual relationships as well as whole communities．There are several things that we can do to develop strong social connections and a sense of belonging：(2) ．One of the simplest ways to bring a community together is through shared experience．Events like an international food festival，a sports league featuring activities from around the world，and health and wellness programs drawing on different cultures，are excellent ways of bringing people together．Think outside our box．(3) ．Many of us get caught up in our own routines and practices and forget that there are other ways of doing things．Try talking to different community members，ranging from youths to seniors，to understand their opinions of the world．(4) ．Try new things．Positively influencing our community can go beyond volunteering our time and resources．Consider getting involved in our community by working for the 2017 Census （人口）as an enumerator（普查员）or a crew leader．Census enumerators are responsible for identifying dwellings on maps，conducting personal interviews，and following up with respondents in person and by phone，while crew leaders are responsible for leading，training and supervising a team of enumerators．(5) ．A strong feeling of unity in a community can make residents feel comfortable and at home．A．Plan community events．B．Encourage community members to do some community service work．C．Social connections offer community members chances to know each other better．D．Our multi- cultural tradition provides a welcoming environment for individuals and families．E．Learning about different cultures and practices can open our mind to a whole new way of life．F．Invite individuals of different cultures to participate in community planning to ensure that every voice is heard．G．These positions provide an opportunity to meet new people and build relationships with members of our community．33.

The more Walt dreamed of a "magical park," the more imaginative and elaborate it became.The original plans for the park were on 8 acres next to the Burbank studios where his employees and families could go to relax. Although, World War II put those plans on hold. During the war, Disney had time to come upwith new ideas, and creations for his magical park. It was soon clear that 8 acres wouldn't be enough.Finally in 1953, he had the Stanford Research Institute conduct a surveyfor a 100-acre site, outside of Los Angeles. He needed space to build rivers, waterfalls, and mountains; he would have flying elephants and giant teacups; a fairy-tale castle, moon rockets, and a scenic railway; all inside a magic kingdom he called "Disneyland."The search for the best venue for the park ended in the rural Anaheim, California with a purchase of a 160-acre orange grove near the junction of the Santa Ana Freeway (I-5) and Harbor Boulevard.Construction for Disneyland began on July 21, 1954, 12 months before the park was scheduled to open.Some 160-acres of citrus trees had been cleared and 15 houses moved to make room for the park. However, when the real designing came around, Disney met with inevitable questions. How do you make believable wild animals, that aren't real? How do you make a Mississippi paddle ship? How do you go about building a huge castle in the middle of Anaheim, California? Disney asked his movie studio staff for answers. The design of Disneyland was something never done before. There would be four uniquely different theme parts: Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland Tomorrow land. Bit by bit, Disneyland got ready for Opening Day. The staff worked around the clock to get ready.But opening day was a terrible disaster. Besides the terrible opening day conditions, the park did eventually pick up. By 1965, ten years after opening day, 50 Million visitors had come through the gates.36. The passage is mainly about___________.A. How Disneyland came into beingB. The difficulties Disney met in building DisneylandC. What visitors can enjoy in Disneyland.D. A brief introduction to Disneyland37.

Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a similar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking. They try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find out the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.Now the person must look for information that will make the problemclearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. He can look at his gears carefully.After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be:put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels.Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short , he has solved the problem.43. By referring to Sam’s broken bicycle, the author intends to _________.A. illustrate the ways to repair his bicycleB. discuss the problems of his bicycleC. tell us how to solve a problemD. show us how to analyze a problem44. Which of the following is NOT true?A. People do not analyze the problem they meet.B. People often accept the opinions or ideas of other people.C. People may learn from their past experience.D. People can not solve some problems they meet.45. As used in the last sentence, the phrase “in short” means _________.A. in the short termB. in detailC. in a wordD. in the end46. . In analyzing a problem we should do all the following except .A. recognize and define the problemB. look for information to make the problem clearerC. have suggestions for a possible solutionD. find a solution by trial or mistakeDThe campaign is over. The celebrations have ended. And the work for US president-elect Barack Obama has begun.The 47-year-old politician rose to the highest post because of his stand against the war in Iraq and his plans to fix a weak economy. But what will the first 47-year-old African-American president do for race relations?Obama’s victory appears to have given blacks and other minorities a true national role model. For years, many looked to athletes and musicians for inspiration. As Darius Turner, an African-American high school student in Los Angeles, told the Los Angeles Times, “Kobe doesn’t have to be everybody’s role model anymore.”Recent polls（民意测验）also suggest that Obama’s victory has given Americans new optimism about race relations. For example, a USA Today poll found that two-thirds of Americans believe relations between blacks and whites “will finally be worked out”. This is the most hopeful response since the question was first asked during the civil rights revolution in 1963.However, it’s still too early to tell whether Obama’s presidency will begin to solve many of the social problems facing low-income black communities.Although blacks make up only 13 percent of the US population, 55 percentof all prisoners are African-American. Such numbers can be blamed on any number of factors on America’s racist past, a failure of government policy and the collapse(瓦解)of the family unit in black communities.It is unlikely that Obama will be able to reverse (扭转) such trends overnight. However, Bill Bank, an expert of African-American Studies, saysthat eventually young blacks need to find role models in their own communities. “That’s not Martin Luther King, and not Barack Obama,” he told the Los Angeles Times. “It’s actually the people closest to them. Barack only has so much influence.”In the opinion of black British politician Trevor Phillips, Obama’s rise will contribute more to multiculturalism than to race relations in the US.“When the G8 meets, the four most i mportant people in the room will bethe president of China, the prime minister of India, the prime minister of Japan and Barak Obama,” he told London’s The Times newspaper. “It will bethe first time we’ve seen that on our television screens. That will be a huge psychological shift (心理转变) for both the white people and the colored onesin the world.”47. For years, before Obama was elected president of the US, __________.A. Kobe was the only role model for all the blacksB. blacks could only find role models on the basketball courtC. minorities in America couldn’t find role models in their real lifeD. American blacks had no role model who was successful in political area48. According to Bill Bank, ____________.A. it’s better f or young blacks to find role models in those who areclose to themB. young blacks should not be so much influenced by ObamaC. blacks should find other role models because Obama is far from their realityD. Obama is not the proper role model for African-Americans49. What would be the best title for this passage?A. The First African-American PresidentB. America’s New Role ModelC. Obama-- A Successful Black .D. Choosing a Right Role Model50. What will be the huge psychological shift Trevor mentioned at the endof the passage?A. The other three leaders all support Obama.B.
