2016-2017学年上学期辽宁省实验中学分校高二年级期末考试测试卷英语第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）1-20题(略)第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题; 每小题2分，满分30分）AIt was windy and cold when a store owner was sticking a sign above his door that read "Puppies for Sale." Just as he expected, a little boy soon appeared by the store owner's sign."How much are you going to sell the puppies for?" he asked. The store owner replied, "$10 for each." The little boy reached in his pocket and pulled out some change. "I have $2.50" he said. "May I please look at them?"The store owner smiled and whistled, taking out five dogs. One puppy was left behind, immediately the little boy singled it out and said, "What's wrong with that little dog?" The store owner explained that the little puppy was disabled. It would always be lame.The little boy became excited. "That is the little puppy that I want to buy." The store owner said "No, you don't want to buy that little dog. If you really want him, I'll just give him to you.”The little boy got quite upset, looked into the store owner's eyes, pointing his finger, and said, "I don't want you to give him to me. That dog is worth eveny bit as much as all the other dogs and I'll pay full price. In fact, I'll give you $2.50 now, and 50 cents a month until I have him paid for."The store owner countered, "You really don't want to buy this little dog. He is never going to be able to run and jump and play with you like the other puppies.'On hearing this, the little boy reached down and rolled up his pant leg to reveal a badly twisted, crippled left leg supported by a big metal brace. He looked up at the store owner and softly replied, "Well, I don't run so well myself and the little puppy will need someone who understands!”21. Why does the shop owner stick the sign?A. To advertise all his goods.B. To attract little children.C. To warn about the danger of dogs.D. To keep the wind out.22.Why did the boy become excited when he knew the dog was lame'?A. Because he could buy it at a low price.B. Because he didn't have enough money for a good one.C. Because he had the similar disability.D. Because he found a partner to share his sadness.23. If the boy bought the dog, he would pay for it _________.A. in 15 monthsB. in 3 monthsC. in 1 yearD. at that time24. The underlined word “countered” can be replaced by _________.A. agreedB. insistedC. calculatedD. contradictedBOwning a smart phone may not be as smart as you think. They may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you are... but they also turn you into a workaholic (工作狂). A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the all-singing, all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day.Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles. The study by technology retailer Pixmania, shows the average UK working day is between nine and ten hours, but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls. Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess (坦白) they are on call almost 24 hours a day, with nine out of ten saying they take work emails and calls outside their normal working hours. Nearlytwo-thirds say they often check work emails just before they go to bed and as soon as they wake up, while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night.Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said, “The ability to access millions of apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smart phones valuable for many people. However, there are drawbacks. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smart phones mean that people cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we become, the more is expected of us in a work capacity (容量).”25. The text is probably taken from __________.A. a scientific reportB. a financial reportC. a newspaperD. a travel journal26. The underlined word “drawbacks” in the last parag raph probably means __________.A. disagreementsB. disadvantagesC. mistakesD. features27. Ghadi may agree that __________.A. employees are supposed to be on call 24 hours a dayB. the ability to access many apps made smart phones worthlessC. smart phones might turn a person into a workaholicD. people cannot get away from work without smart phones28. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Smart phones are lengthening working hours.B. Smart phones are becoming valuable for many people.C. Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average.D. Smart phones are more beneficial to our life than we think.CThe sharing economy has grown in recent years to include everything from apartment sharing to car sharing to community tool sharing. Since 2009, a new form of sharing economy has been emerging in neighborhoods throughout the US and around the world—— Little Free Library. The libraries are boxes placed in neighborhoods from which residents can withdraw (取出) and deposit (存入) books. Little Free Libraries come in all shapes and sizes. Some libraries also have themes, focusing on books for children, adults, or tour guides.In 2009, Tod Bol built the first Little Free Library as a gift to his mother, who was a devoted reader. When he saw the people of his community gathering around it, exchanging conversation as well as books, he knew he wanted to take his simple idea further. “I think Little Free Libraries open the door to conversations we want to have with each other,” Bol said.Since then, his idea has become a movement, spreading from state to state and country to country. According to Little , there are now 18,000 of the little structures around the world, located in each of the 50 US states and 70 countries in Europe, Africa and Asia.The Internet has helped to spread Little Free Libraries. But an Atlantic article says the little structures serve as a cure for a world of e-reader downloads. The little wooden boxes are refreshinglyphy sical and human. For many people, the sense of discovery is Little Free Libraries’ main appeal. “A girl walking home from school might pick up a graphic novel that gets her excited about reading; a man on his way to the bus stop might find a volume of poet ry that changes his outlook on life,” says the Atlantic article. “Every book is a potential source of inspiration”.29. How do Little Free Libraries get their books?A. The communities bought them.B. Tod Bol donated them.C. US government provided them.D. Citizens shared them.30. Why did Tod Bol want to build more Little Free Libraries?A. They can offer neighbors more chances to talk.B. He was inspired by the sharing economy.C. He wanted to promote his idea worldwide.D. They are a gift to please his mother.31. What does the author of the Atlantic article believe?A. Little Free Libraries are more popular than e-reader downloads.B. E-reader downloads are undoubtedly beneficial.C. Little Free Libraries are physical and human.D. The Internet has helped to spread Little Free Libraries.32. Little Free Libraries attract readers most in that ________.A. they are in various shapes and sizesB. they are located all over the worldC. they connect strangers togetherD. they may give readers a sense of discoveryDAmerica’s Best National ParksPacific: Yosemite National Park, CalifClosest city: Oakland, Calif. (3.5-hour drive)This Golden State treasure has dense forests and rock formations like the Half Dome—a naturalist’s dream in winter, spring, summer or fall. “Anytime of year, it’s such an important park,” says Patricia Schultz, author of 1000 Places to See Before you Die. She recommends taking a tour with a naturalist guide to learn about the reintroduction of wolves into the park.Pacific: Denali National Park, AlaskaClosest city: Fairbanks, Alaska (two-hour drive)Denali National Park includes the towering(高耸的) Mt.

After three years behind the bars, she was released. Only a few years later, she was given a sentence far worse—she had an incurable and progressive disorder and would be totally blind. Meanwhile, Grace was also happily pregnant but terrified she would never see her child’s face. She believed she would succeed as a mother, although “success” had never been in her vocabulary before. She managed well despite fading vision.For years she kept consulting specialists about her eye problems, only to be told that her son would also be blind by the time he was a teenager. She swore to find something, anything, to prevent him from facing her fate. When conventional medicine offered no hope, Grace began a personal quest. She entered a local college. The office for disabled students had her reading assignments put on cassette tapes so that she could listen and learn. She began studying anatomy, physiology and other health sciences. Everyone knowing her was astonished at her persistence to educate herself, restore her vision and keep focused on raising a son who would have perfect eyesight.Eventually Grace’s own way worked and she earned the Ph. D. in Holistic Health for her successful work in improving serious eye disorder. Her eyesight slowly improved so much that she was able to qualify for a driving license. Even better, her son had perfect vision and was accepted into the Air Force.21. From the passage we can know that Grace used to be _______.A. aggressiveB. troublesomeC. ignorantD. competitive22. How did Grace regain her eyesight?A. By following the treatment from specialists.B. By just trying what was taught in the local college.C. By practicing the principles sought by herself.D. By adopting the experience from other patients.23. What is the power of Grace’s recovery?A. Her love for her son.B. Her patience as a mother.C. Her desire to cure the blind.D. Her determination to earn the Ph. D.24. The underlined word “quest” in Paragraph 2 probably means “___________”.A. adventureB. professionC. harvestD. searchBInstagram is a fast，beautiful and fun way to share your life with friends and family．Take a picture or video，choose a filter to transform its look and feel．and then post to Instagram —it's that easy．You can even share to Facebook．Twitter and more．It’s a new way to see the world．So many photos of food are contained on Instagram—now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks．I always thought people’s taking pictures of their f ood was kind of silly, but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK，I’d probably do it too．“The Picture House”is the world’s first pay-by-photo restaurant—you order， click a photo of the food，share on Instagram and eat for free!The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant(巨人)Birds Eye，who came up with the idea to cash in on people’s addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online. They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals．So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range．The pop-up diner was open in Soho，London for three days in May，and is now moving to other major UK cities．They serve two-course meals that customers don’t have to pay for, if they photo and lnstagram it．The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye’s“Food for Life”campaign，a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food．“Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special，”said marketing director Margaret Jobling．The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way．Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses．Last year in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there，not by what they eat．25．Instagram probably is______．A．a restaurant free of charge B．a campaign of“Food for Life’’C．a program used to share photos D．a new marketing project26．What’s the author’s attitude to this new trend?A．Confused B．Unconcerned C．Opposed D．Interested27．“The Picture House”encourages sharing photos of its food to_____．A．raise the price of frozen food B．attract more customersC．create a new social media trend D．reward the regular customers28．Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?A．Pay by Picture B．The Pop-up DinerC．No Need to Pay D．Food for LifeCBLOOD DRIVE & MARROW(骨髓)REGISTRATION“These patients deserve a chance at a normal, happy future and they rely on the kindness of strangers to make that happen.—Daisy, Isabelle’s Mother Isabelle is the daughter of Daisy and Saman Mirzaei. In January 2008 Isabelle was diagnosed(诊断)with a genetic blood disorder, beta thalassemia. Isabelle’s body is una ble to produce healthy red blood cells.

On most days, our grades were based on our oral answers to homework questions.Mrs.Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.S ince I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs.Totten made her way from the beginning of the class, I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn’t function.When Mrs. Totten reached my desk, she asked what answer I’d got for problem No.14.“I (I)didn’t get anything,” I answered, and my face felt warm.“Correct,” she said.It turned out that the correct answer was zero.What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn’t always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third, I would never make it as a mathematician.If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.32.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?A. It is wise to value one’s time.B. It is important to make an effortC. It is right to stick to one’s belief.D. It is enough to do the necessary.33.The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always .A. asked questions in a regular wayB. walked up and down when asking questionsC. chose two or three questions for the studentsD. requested her students to finish their usual questions34.The author failed to get the questions he had expected because .A. the class didn’t begin as usualB. several students didn’t come to schoolC. he didn’t try hard to make his estimateD. Mrs.Totten didn’t start from the back of the class35. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. An Unforgettable TeacherB.A Future Mathemati cianC. An Effective ApproachD.A Valuable Lesson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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AMy husband Ollie had retired from teaching and we were making plans to travel together to Florida. Then he was terribly ill and became very weak, hardly able to speak. Weeks passed and it became clear that Ollie was near death, but I prayed day and night that he could get better.One of us was always in Ollie's hospital room--either me, or our grown children, Bruce and Karen. One day, in his broken and weak speech, Ollie told Bruce, “Go home. You should be with Gwen.”Gwen was Bruce's wife. They had been married for six years and lived hundreds of miles away. Gwen was about to have a baby. We felt an extra sadness, knowing Ollie would never see his first grandchild.“I don't want to leave you, dad, ” Bruce said. Ollie repeated, “You should be with Gwen. ”Reluctantly, Bruce left. “When the baby comes, ”he promised Ollie, “you will be the first to know. ” A few days later, around 2 p. m., Ollie awoke from a sleep. He turned and looked at me. I sat close to hear his weak words. “The baby is coming now. It's a boy, ” he said. For a moment his eyes were filled with tears. Then he went back to sleep again. Not long after that, Karen ran into the room. “Bruce called, ”she said, a smile lighting her face. “Gwen gave birth to a healthy baby boy around two o' clock. ”Ollie smiled; he had been the first to know. That night, Ollie died in his sleep.22. Why did Ollie want Bruce to be with Gwen?A. Ollie didn't want his son to be absent when his baby was born.B. Ollie wanted Bruce to bring the baby along as soon as it was born.C. Ollie thought it was too much trouble for Bruce to stay at hospital.D. Ollie couldn't bear his son seeing him dying with a broken heart.23. The underlined word in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .A. DisappointedlyB. ImmediatelyC. ExcitedlyD. Unwillingly24. What can we learn from the passage?A. Ollie and his wife had planned to settle in Florida.B. Ollie cared for his son more than his daughter.C. Ollie died happy and in peace.D. Ollie was sad about not being able to see his first grandchild.BSorry to say, our brains naturally start slowing down at the cruelly young age of 30. It used to be thought that this couldn’t be helped, but new studies show that people of any age can train their brains to work faster. “Your brain is a learning machine ”, says University of California scientist Dr. Michael Merzenich. Given the right tools, we can train our brains to act like they did when were younger. All that’s required is the practice designed just for the purpose: a few exercises for the mind.Merzenich has developed a computer---based training method to speed up the process in which the brain deals with information. Since much of the data we receive comes through speech, the Brain Fitness Program works with language and hearing to better speed and accuracy.Over the course of training, the program starts asking you to distinguish sounds (between “dog” and “bog”, for example) at an increasingly faster speed. “It’s a bit like tennis instructor,” says Merzenich , “hitting balls at you faster and faster to keep you challenged. You may start out slow, but before long you’re pretty quick.”The biggest finding in brain research in last ten years is that the brain at any age is highly plastic. If you ask your brain to learn, it will learn. And it may even speed up while in the process.To keep your brain young and plastic you can do one of a million new activities that challenge and excite you: playing table tennis or bridge, doing crossword puzzles, learning a language...... “When it comes to preventing aging, you really do “do it or lose it”, says Barbara Sahakian, professor at Cambridge University.25.Dr. Merzenich’s training method mainly depends on ________.A. the information being dealt withB. computer languagesC. the activities one joins inD. speech training27. What can we learn from the text?A. Practice makes a quick mindB. Brain research started ten years ago.C. Dr. Merzenich is a scientist in computerD. People used to believe nothing could stop the brain slowing down.28. Which of the following agrees with the writer’s idea?A. The training methods work better for the oldB. The training of the brain should start at an early ageC. People should use the brain to stop it from aging.D. It’s necessary to take part in as many activities as possible.CDuring my high school years, the most important thing was what I was wearing tothe Friday night dance and who I was taking. Although college was talked about, it was the least of my worries.When I was graduating eighth grade and starting high school, my older brother was graduating twelfth grade and going onto college. For my graduation, he gave me a card in which he wrote, “Enjoy your four years…, they go by fast.” I remember not believing him then, but looking back…, he was right. Those four years shaped who I was as a person, pushed me to my limit and encouraged me to become an adult.However, I was so completely absorbed in my junior and senior years of high school, that when someone spoke of college I brushed it off. I wasn't ready to leave my comfort zone of having all of my closest friends together and knowing what every single day was going to be like . Studying was something I did only AFTER I nailed my half-time dance performance. I knew my parents wanted me to go to college, so I told them I would go to community college and I didn’t worry about my SAT scores.When my senior year passed and everyone graduated and went off to their own college ,I started to wish I had done the same. My friends were living away, meeting new people, discovering new places, and I was living at home and driving to and from class every day. It seemed exactly like high school. I hated it! I thought college was supposed to be different! Why didn’t I take more time to research colleges and do the same? I ended up loving college and wishing I had four years to enjoy the campus atmosphere instead of two.My advice to anyone thinking about attending college is to think about it very seriously and look into all of your choices well ahead of time. Now I have graduated and I am working full time and I would do anything to go back to my high school days for a second chance!29．Why didn’t the author worry about his SAT scores?A．He had a gift for dance..B．He wanted to go to community collegeC．He was well prepared for the exam.D．He believed his brother would help him.30．When in high school, the author .A．buried himself in his study all the timeB．lived in the school except on holidaysC．enjoyed talking about future college lifeD．drove to and from class every day31．What did the author’s brother mean by “Enjoy your four years…, they go by fast.”? A．He advised the author to value the years.B．He encouraged the author to leave his comfort zone.C．He wished the author to have more dance.D．He suggested the author aim at a community college.32．Talking of his high school years, the author feels .A．Lonely B． regretful C．angry D．pleasedDTime and how we experience it have always puzzled us. Physicists have createdfascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum（钟摆）and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar. As someone who understood the diff erence remarked, “When you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours.”Psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age. They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass．For example, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach. Since most of us spend fewer days at the beach and more at the office as we age, an increase in structured tune could well be to blame for why time seems to speed up as we grow older．Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly. Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewh ere we’ve never been before. Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real idea of when we’ll arrive, we experience the trip as lasting a long time. But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time. The unfamiliarity of the journey has become routine. Thus taking a different route on occasion can often help slow the clock.When days become as identical as beads（小珠子）on a string, they mix together, and even months become a single day. To fight this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day—to stop time. Learning something new is one of the ways to slow the passage of time. One of the reasons the days of our youth seems so full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery. For many of us, learning ends when we leave school, but this doesn’t have to be.33. The quotation（引用语） in the first paragraph is used to indicate ______.A. physical time is different from psychological timeB. time should not be measured by a pendulumC. psychological time is quite puzzlingD. physical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time35. What is the main idea of the passage?A. It gives various explanations about time.B. It explains why time flies fast and how to slow it down psychologically.C. It shows the different ideas of physicists and psychologists on time.D. It describes how we experience time psychologically.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。

Some even win local talent competitions as children, but only a few such early successes and dreams turn into reality. Jessica Andrews is one of the few whose dreams have come true.Andrews, first taste of success came at the age of 10. She won a talent competition in her home town of Huntingdon, Tennessee, singing I Will Always Love You, originally sung by Whitney Houston. Houston's version of the song appeared on The Bodyguard sound track, which happened to be the first album Andrews ever bought.Within two years, talk of Andrews had spread to Nashville and caught the attention of producer Byron Gallimore, whose credits include work with Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and Jo Dee Messina. With Gallimore signed on to produce, Andrews soon had a recording contract (合同)with Dream Works' Nashville label.Andrews' professional career was launched with 1999's Heart Shaped World, recorded when she was 14 years old. The album included the country hit I Will Be There For You, which also appeared on The Prince Of Egypt. She followed up the release of the album by touring as a support act for such country superstars as Faith Hill and Trisha Yearwood.With the release of 2001's Who I Am, Andrews became a star in her own right. The album was certified (证明〕gold for sales of 500,000 copies. Andrews returned in April 2003 with Now, an album that she promised would show a new side of the young artist. "This album has a very different feeling for me," she said. "It's a lot more personal and there's a confidence that wasn't quite there on the first two. I feel especially connected to this group of songs."56. What's the meaning of the underlined word “launched" in the fourth paragraph?A. Aimed.B. Sent.C. Started.D. Set.57. Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage?A. The Bodyguard was the first album Andrews ever bought.B. After Andrews sang Who I Am, she became a star in her own right.C. I Will Always Love You was originally sung by Whitney Houston.D. Now expresses a new feeling of Andrews.58. Which of the following may NOT be Andrews' album?A. Now.B. Heart Shaped World.C. The Prince of Egypt.D. Who IAm59. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Jessica Andrews' LifeB. Jessica Andrews' DreamC. Jessica Andrews' SongsD. Jessica Andrews' Success as a SingerBWhen it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence．People naturally have different levels of confidence．Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals．Increasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals．One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace． We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise．This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities．After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success．If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you aree the best at what you do．Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve．Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence．60．What is the passage mainly about?A．The influence of confidence on one's life．B．The difference of people's confidence．．C．The importance of confidence to successD．The judgment on one's confidence．61．Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those ______．A．who dream to be recognized expertsB．who expect to give guidance to othersC．who want to ask the boss for a raiseD．who think their goals are hard to reach62．What does the underlined word "indispensable" in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A．outgoing B．attractive C．important D．energetic63．What message does the author want to convey〔传递〕 in the last paragraph?A．To overlook one's disadvantages．B．To make full use of one's advantages．C．To have great confidence in one's abilities．D．To make objective evaluations of one's abilities．COne year, my school report made my parents angry. On Christmas Eve, all the presents were stolen, along with our TV. My parents told me that there were no presents because Santa was very angry with my behavior over the past year. The next year on Christmas Eve I slept downstairs with a plastic sword waiting for Santa to make sure that he didn't steal the new TV. The next morning, when I woke up, I saw Santa standing there. As soon as I saw that there were no presents, I grabbed my plastic sword and ran at him, shouting angrily: "THIEF! THIEF!" JackWhen I was young, we always had a specific room for the Christmas tree. My mom never really liked the location, so one year she moved the tree into another room. I was convinced that Santa would not know where the tree was and would get lost in our house. I was worried that he would be mad and put me on the "bad" list and would not give me any gifts because he couldn't find the tree. I came up with the idea to make signs leading from the fireplace to the tree. They said things like: "Tree this way" or "Santa, put the gifts over here." When my big brother saw them he began to laugh his head off.LucyDoes everyone r emember going to the mall and sitting on Santa’s lap to have his picture taken at Christmas time?Well, I used to think that if I did that, Santa would get mad because he would have to go all around the world and give every kid the chance to have his picture taken with him. Of course his lap would hurt and he would be very fired. I thought he might keep a copy of the picture and that would be how he decided who would be on his naughty list.My mom couldn't get me onto Santa's lap until she made him promise I wouldn't end up on his naughty list.Lydia64. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Belief in SantaB. The Excitement on ChristmasC. Christmas GiftsD. Christmas Celebration65. The real reason why Jack's TV was taken away is that ______________.A. his parents were too carelessB. his parents thought he had watched too much TVC. Santa Claus was not satisfied with Jack’s behaviorD. Santa gave the TV to another child as a present66. Which of the following is NOT the reason why Lucy didn't want the tree to be moved?A. Santa would not know where the tree was.B. Santa would be angry and would not give her any gifts.C. Her big brother might laugh at her.D. Santa might think she was a "bad" child.DMUMBAI, India —The children in their party clothes on the stage were very excited when they received the award. And the two of them said, "It’s unbelievable!"Nine-year-old, Rubina Ali, and Azharuddin Ismail, 10, were living a very different life and obviously loving every minute of it. The two, some of the child stars of the Oscar-winning Slum dog Millionaire(《贫民窟的百万富翁》)movie, know the Indian slums very well. That was where they grew up, and it is where they will return at the end of their Hollywood dream trip.But before going back home, there was an interview with the host, Ryan Seacrest. During the interview they smiled and repeated their disbelief in what was happening to them. To their surprise, their movie won first place in the Oscars. When the two received the award, it was late morning in the children’s home city of Mumbai, where family, friends and many fellow residents of the slums watched the result from Hollywood."I don’t really know what the Oscars are," Rubina’s mother said.

AAn artist in Oakland, California is using his skills to help the homeless. Greg Kloehn builds very small shelters that make life on the streets more comfortable. The structures offer the homeless some safety and protection from bad weather. Each little house also has wheels on the bottom so it can go wherever its owner goes.Greg Kloehn has given away at least 20 tiny houses to the homeless on the street. On a recent day, Mr. Kloehn stops to visit his homeless friends. One of them is Oscar Young. The two men hug when they see each other. Inside his little shelter Mr. Young gets relief from cold nights on the streets. Mr. Kloehn also visits Sweet-Pea, another friend who also lives in one of the little homes the artist built. She says it keeps her safe and protects her belongings.In the mornings, Mr. Kloehn searches the streets for building materials. He gathers what he can and takes it to his studio. There, he puts the houses together. Empty coffee bags become roof material. A washing machine door and refrigerator part become windows. Nails, screws and the sticky glue hold all the pieces together. The artist also attaches a small electrical device(装置) to the house.

It is the Queen’s official and main royal London home.Buckingham Palace was originally a splendid house built by the Duke(公爵) of Buckingham for his wife. George IV began changing it into a palace in 1826. It has been the official London home of Britain’s royal family since 1837. Buckingham Palace is also an office and used for the administrative work of the royal family.When the Queen is at home you can see her royal flag (the Royal Standard) flying from the flag pole on top of Buckingham Palace.The flag is divided into four equal parts. The first and fourth parts represent England and contain three gold lions waking on a red field; the second part represents Scotland and contains a red lion standing on a gold field; the third part represents Ireland and contains the gold coat of arms of Ireland on a blue field.In flag protocol (礼仪), the Royal Standard which must only be flown from buildings where the Queen is present is supreme (至高无上的). It flies above the British Union Flag (the Union Jack ), and other British flags. It never flies at half mast.The guards of the Palace wear red jackets and tall, furry hats.

It has been found that adding carrot juice to people’s diets greatly improves their health. And its delicious taste makes it popular with all members of the family as a beverage.Carrot juice is one of the richest sources of vitamin A that can be used in the daily diet. Lack of vitamin A can cause dryness and damage to the skin, nails and hair. Drinking carrot juice to increase the vitamin A in the diet is said to be good for many parts of the body, including the bones and teeth.Drinking carrot juice is thought to be extremely helpful to the liver (肝脏), because vitamin A helps to clean the liver and reduce fat in it. And it is suggested that drinking carrot juice should be done regularly, rather than just from time to time.Drinking carrot juice is also thought to improve the eyesight because of the vitamin A in the juice. Lack of vitamin A can lead to night blindness, which can be very dangerous, especially when the person is driving a car. An easy way to find out if you are lacking in vitamin A is to walk from a bright room into a dark room. Your eyes may have some trouble in getting used to the change of light if you are lacking in vitamin A.How can you make carrot juice? Wash some carrots well in cold water. Scrape (刮) them lightly, but do not peel them, as this will take away valuable vitamins and minerals that lie close to the skin.29． Lack of vitamin A can lead to _____.A. broken bonesB. complete blindnessC. skin drynessD. liver cancer30． According to the passage, carrot juice ______.A. does a lot of good to the teeth and other parts of the bodyB. is popular because it is a magic cure for many diseasesC. can wash away the waste from the bodyD. may be harmful to the body if it’s drunk too much31． We can learn from the fourth paragraph that _____.A. you will find it easy to get used to the change of light if you lack vitamin AB. driving cars at night may lead to night blindnessC. walking from a bright room into a dark room may lead to night blindnessD. drinking carrot juice helps to protect your eyesight32． Which would be the best title for this passage?A. Tips on How to Make Carrot JuiceB. The Great Benefits of Carrot JuiceC. The Way to Keep Good HealthD. A Healthy Diet for PatientsDYou wake up in the morning, the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the drama starts. The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make youfeel depressed for a moment or a long time.Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect.When you communicate with positive people, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted. When the dagger（匕首） of a negative person is put in you, you feel the heavy feeling that all in all, brings you down.Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker, or a relative. In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person, but all this is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to（附着） you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.33．The purpose of the first paragraph is to __________.A. make a comparisonB. offer an evidenceC. introduce a topicD. describe a daily scene34．How can negative people have effect on us?A. By changing our ways of thinkingB. By telling us the nature of lifeC. By influencing our emotionD. By comparing their attitudes to life with ours35．According to the passage, to reduce negative people’s influence on us, we are advised to __________.A. show our dissatisfaction to negative peopleB. communicate with negative people as little as possibleC. change negative peopl e’s attitudes to lifeD. make negative people feel ashamed of themselves第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分l0分) 将答案填涂在答题卡上根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，有两项为多余选项。

AI clearly remember my mom telling me to drink milk every day—one glass in the morning and another at night．I also remember loving it while my sister thought quite the opposite—she would surreptitiously pour her milk into the sink or water the plants with it! I guess I should thank my mom for making us drink a lot of milk, so rich in calcium（钙）, during those important years．Today, calcium shortage is one of the main concerns of women in their 30s or even early 20s．The great fear is that when we reach our 50s or 60s, osteoprosis（骨质疏松症）will set in．That is why you can see a lot of advertisements for products supposedly containing a lot of calcium．Because calcium is not that easy to acquire from the food we normally eat, busy women these days should take calcium supplements（补充物）．There are a lot of different forms of these---calcium carbonate （碳酸钙），oyster（牡蛎）shell or bone-meal-based calcium supplements．You have to be careful when choosing which kind to take．This is because calcium is not easily absorbed by the body．So the fact that you are taking supplements doesn’t mean that the body is actually benefiting from them．Different supplements may have different instructions on dosage（剂量）and manner of intake．You can ask your doctor to help you determine which supplement is the best for your needs．21. From what the author’s mother did we may infer that___________________．A．her children had osteoporosisB．she knew her children would benefit from milkC．she must have suffered from osteoprosisD．she didn’t like her daughter who didn’t obey her order22. Based on the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A．The author’s sister will suffer from osteoprosis when reaches her 50s or 60sB．Many businessmen have already been selling products supposedly containing calcium．C．We can’t get enough calcium only from food we eat every dayD．Women as young as their 20s should be concerned about calcium shortage23. What does the underlined word “surreptitiously” in the first paragraph probably mean?A．Honestly B．Frankly C．Secretly D．Curiously24. We may infer from the last paragraph that____________________．A．what one chooses as a calcium supplement might not workB．one shouldn’t take in calcium without the permission of a doctorC．the more calcium supplements one uses, the more calcium one can take inD．it is dangerous to use calcium supplements without the guidanceBPeople living in the UK take quite a few holidays abroad and in the country each year. Choices made about where to go, how to get there and what to do can either benefit or harm the environment.While on holidayMany of the things you can do to the greener on holiday will be the same things you can do at home—but there are also some extra things too, like avoiding gifts made from endangered plants and animals. Here are some suggestions:●Making the most of locally produced food and drink, and local activities and attractions will support people in the area you are visiting and reduce the need for further environmental influence from transport.●Switching off any air conditioning, heatin g and lights will help reduce climate change effect.●Save water—some countries suffer from water shortages and saving water can help avoid damage to our natural habitats.Endangered speciesSome gifts and foods available in some countries can be made from endangered plants or animals. Check before you buy, but if you doubt, avoid animal and plant gifts. More details of the types of products to avoid any illegal trade hotspots can be found on the Souvenir Alert webpage.Making a positive contribution to the place you are visiting.There are ways in which your holiday can help support local people and the environment.●There are many opportunities to volunteer and help with projects that conserve and improve natural habitats.●When you are away, or if you are looking for somewhere to visit, you can support projects or attractions which protect wildlife, such as nature reserves and conservation projects.25. According to the passage, we can _______ to help reduce climate change effect.A. make good use of waterB. buy local food and drinkC. save electricityD. go around on foot26. We should check the gifts and foods before buying because ______.A. sometimes they are of poor qualityB. they may not be typical local productsC. some of them will do harm to our healthD. they may be made from endangered animals or plants27We can infer from the passage that ______.A. it is not easy for people to travel abroadB. not everyone can tell an illegal souvenirC. green holidays have been accepted by peopleD. volunteer work is a must for protecting natural habitats28. The passage is mainly about ______.A. travel enjoymentB. the harm to the environmentC. protection of endangered animalsD. greener choices for holidayCIt’s said that professional footballers in the USA can make millions of dollars throughout their careers. Yet statistics show that many eventually run out of money once their playing days are over. The University of Pennsylvania wants to change that and help teach American footballers how to rebuild their lives when their sports careers come to an end.“All their life they have focused on football. Deciding what comes next can be difficult.” Says professor Morvarid Taheripour, the head of the athletes’ project. “Some people say athletes die two deaths. You kind of die when you stop playing and you die in real life. So they’ve got to come back to life and figure out‘How am I going to make a living at 25 for maybe another 40 years?”For Taheripour, the partnership with professional athletes is a dream to come true. “It was taking everything I love about teaching and yet being able to influence people who are accomplished and hard-working, yet very modest.”But even with help, figuring out the next chapter isn’t easy. Statistics show that 78 percent of professional football players are penniless, divorced or unemployed two years after retiring from their sport. The program tries to help players develop a plan for life after sport and 220 athletes have taken part over the past six years.Darwin Walker is one former student who avoided being a statistic. Today, he runs a number of successful businesses and thanks football for his accomplishments. “The concepts I learned about leadership have all come from playing the game of football,” says Walker. “The amount of study, amount of commitment, and time that you have to put into it is very much like being a successful business person.”Shifting the skills learned on the field to the workplace seems natural to some, but the numbers show that’s not the case for everyone. Taheripour’s message to his students is a serious on e: This is the time to build for the future, he tells them, because no matter how long your athletic career lasts, you are so much more than just an athlete.29 By saying “athletes die two deaths”, the author means ________.A. athletes suffer too many failures in their lifeB. athletes have a sports life and a real lifeC. being an athlete contributes little to lifeD. athletes’ later life can be easily rebuilt30. .Why is it difficult for professional athletes to decide what comes next?A. They might have not thought of this during their playing days.B. They have no idea whether to leave the game or not.C. They think as athletes they can make more money.D. They’re not willing to accept a new career.31. What does Darwin Walker manage to avoid?A. Making his sports career come to an end.B. Being unsuccessful in rebuilding his life.C. Going through the problem.D. Making a difference.32. What does the last paragraph imply?A. An athlete should think about more than his athletic career.B. An athlete’s sports career couldn’t last very long.C. An athlete should end his career earlier to build his new life.D. The longer an athlete’s career lasts, the more respect he receives.DDuring World War I, a German spy called Reginald Rowland worked in the United Kingdom gathering information for Germany about the British army. A box of talcum powder (爽身粉) and other lotions （护肤液）with materials to write secret messages were found in his room when he was caught by British soldiers.

AMy brother Ron joined the US army a few years ago. Most girls, especially those who are my age, are thrilled by anything that has to do with the “army”. It’s a novelty to them to shoot a gun, jump out of a plane, and wear uniform.Now I know you’re thinking that I must find it really cool to know a solider, who’s my brother. That’s wrong, before I found out that my brother joined the army, I was crazy about the army. Firstly, I wanted to go to college, knew that joining the army was probably the only way I could get it as my parents couldn’t afford it. Additionally there were all the other points of the army that grabbed my heart. I wanted the challenge, I wanted the discipline and I wanted the feeling that I would be doing something beyond the ability of average citizen.But as soon as my brother joined the army, all those things fell away. All I saw were dead people, guns shooting, tanks turning into a ball of fire, tents burning, and lots of blood. It was so horrible. When Ron went to Iraq, I freaked out whenever I didn’t hear from him for more than a week. I kept up with the news, reading the latest newspaper and listening to the hourly reports. And every time I heard that an American solider was killed, I prayed, it’ wasn’t Ron.I’m proud of my brother for serving our country, and his willingness to devote his life to something he finds important. It’s great to see how discipline and mature he’s got, and I’m glad he has his college paid for. But although I am proud, I gladly give up the “coolness” of having a brother in the army. I would be perfectly all right if I had never seen that uniform on him, and he was just a plain old “boring”brother.I love my brother, and I’m proud of him, but I want him back home!21. What did the writer think of the army before Ron joined?A. Joining the army was more beneficial than going to college.B. Joining the army was a good choice for those who couldn’t afford college education.C. Joining the army was meant risking one’s life for something important,D. Joining the army did more harm than good.22. After Ron joined the army, the writer .A. decide to join the army one dayB. became afraid of seeing soldiersC. often showed off Ron in front of friendsD. became aware of the danger of joining the army23. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Peace or war?B. Life in the armyC. Having a soldier in the familyD. A choice between your life and your dreamBThe greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman's life spent in caring for the children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, four or five of whom lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five years and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has to take care of children, her work is lightened by modern living conditions.This important change in women's life-patterns has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position. Even a few years ago most girls took a full-time job after they left school. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school- leaving age is sixteen; many girls stay at school after that age, and though women usually marry older, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more afterwards return to full-or-part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.24. At what age did most women marry around the 1890 according to the passage?A. At about twenty-fiveB. In their earl fiftiesC. At the age of fifteenD. At any age from fifteen to forty-five25. Many girls, the passage claims, are now likely to_______.A. give up their jobs for good after they are marriedB. leave school as soon as they canC. marry so that they can get a jobD. continue working until they are going to have a baby26. When she was over fifty, a late nineteenth-century mother ______.A. was usually expected to die fairly soonB. would expect to work until she diedC. would be healthy enough to take up paid jobsD. was less likely to find a job even if she wanted to27. Nowadays, a husband tends to_______.A. play a greater part in looking after the childrenB. help his wife by doing much of the houseworkC. feel dissatisfied with his role in the familyD. take a part-time job so that he can help in the homeCThe best example of something is often called the "gold standard." It sets the standard against which other things are measured. In economics, the term describes how major trading nations once used gold to set currency values and exchange rates. Many nations continued to use the gold standard until the last century.In the United States, people could exchange paper money for gold from the eighteen seventies until nineteen thirty-three. Then-President Richard Nixon finally disconnected the dollar from the value of gold in nineteen seventy-one. From time to time, some politicians call for a return to the gold standard.In 1978, the International Monetary Fund ended an official gold price. The IMF also ended the required use of gold in transactions with its member countries. Since that time, gold prices have grown and continued to be high. But people keep buying. Some people are "gold bugs." These are investors who say people should buy gold to protect against inflation(通货膨胀).People have valued gold for thousands of years. The soft, dense metal polishes to a bright yellow shine and resists most chemical reactions. It makes a good material for money, political power -- and, more recently, electrical power. If you own a device like a mobile phone or a computer, you might own a little gold in the wiring.The gold standard was the subject of one of the best-known speeches in American political history. William Bryan wanted the country to use both gold and silver as money. The idea was to devalue the dollar and make it easier for farmers to pay their debts. So he delivered a speech, which made him famous. He was a presidential candidate three times. But he never won.28. The underlined word “transactions” probably means “”A. warsB. tradeC. meetingsD. conflict29. After the IMF ended the official gold price, the gold prices .A. stayed the sameB. began to dropC. increasedD. increased a little at first and kept drop30. What’s the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. The reason for valuing goldB. The history of the use of goldC. New function of goldD. How to obtain gold31. We can learn from the last paragraph that William Bryan .A. was once a farmerB. loved to collect goldC. was a famous political figureD. was a good at giving speechesDEdward Wilson is America's, if not the world's, leading naturalist. In The Future of Life, he takes us on a tour of the world's natural resources. How are they used? What has been lost? What remains and is it able to continue with the present speed of use? Wilson also points out the need to understand fully the biodiversity(生物多样性)of our earth.At the end of the book, Wilson discusses the importance of human values in considering the environment. If you are to continue to live on the earth, you may as well read and act on the ideas in this book.32.

However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies' two daughters. Along with nice other child-ren whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using Xray facilities (设备) to help save the lives of wounded soldiers. Irene continued the work by developing Xray facilities in military hospitals in France and Bel-gium. Her services were recognised in the form of a Military Medal by the French government.In 1918, Irene became her mother's assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity (辐射能).

Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man can not see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green - a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods” but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes (蚊子) like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not at-tract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible (看不见的) colors around.64. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?A. Women are more careful.B. There are few color-blind women.C. Women are fonder of driving than men.D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking65. This passage is mainly about ________.A. color and its surprising effectsB. women being luckier than menC. danger caused by color blindnessD. color blindness66．According to the passage, with the help of the “cones”，we can ________.A. tell orange from yellowB. see in weak lightC. kill mosquitoesD. tell different shapes767．We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a ________.A. red lightB. yellow light C .blue light D. green lightDEuropean Work Experience ProgrammeEuropean Work Experience Programme (E.W.E.P.) is an independent British organization which began in 1991 in the city of London.

辽宁省实验中学分校2013-2014学年高一6月月考英语试题第一节(共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A B C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AWhen you leave school, you can breathe a sigh of relief and leave learning behind, right?Wrong! Learning should last a lifetime. You exercise your body to stay strong, and you should exercise your mind to stay sharp.An English idiom says, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks." But scientists have discovered that isn't true. Older people can learn, and they should, in order to keep their brain active. Now a new trend has begun in several states in the US that encourages learning. Adults can attend OneDayUniversity. They can spend a Saturday or Sunday hearing four 70－minute lectures. Each one is given by a top university professor. One of the original participants said, "It's like a health club for the brain." Also, universities like MIT have made all of their courses and lectures available online for free! Libraries offer learning programs too. With so much available, there is no excuse not to learn!Learning is a habit. Don't leave it behind after you leave school. On the website , author Scott Young mentions several things to help you.Always have a book. It doesn't matter if you read fast or slow. Just read. If you read just one book a week, you'll read 52 over the course of a year. Think of the knowledge you'll gain!Practice it. As you read, do something with what you've learned. Don't just enjoy the mental exercise. Use the knowledge. If you read about painting, try it! Make a "to learn" list. Compose a "to learn" list for yourself. Maybe you want to speak better English, play the piano, or cook French food. Whatever interests you, put it on your list and then make the time to do it.Teach others. Whatever you learn, teach someone else. You'll not only help others but also understand what you've learned.21. What's the best title for this passage?A. Make learning last a lifetime.B. What you should do after leaving school.C. Several tips on learning.D. A new trend in learning.22. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A. You don't need to consider what you have learnt after graduation.B. Leaving learning behind is what you should do after a break.C. You can relax as you have escaped from the hard life of studying.D. You should have a good rest and then go on learning.23. How many ways of learning for adults in the US are mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.24. Which of the following is NOT a suggestion made by Scott Young in the passage?A. Keep learning as a habit.B. Always have a book.C. List what you want to learn.D. Teach others what you learn.BThe 92-year-old, thin, calm and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o’clock, even though she is nearly blind, moved to a nursing home today. Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the hall of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.As she walked slowly to the elevator, I provided a true description of her tiny room, including the old sheets that had been hung on he r window. “I love it,” she said with the happiness of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.“Mrs. Jones, you haven’t seen the room…just wait.”“That doesn’t matter,” she replied. “Happiness is something you decide ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is arranged. It’s how I arranged my mind. I have already decided to love it. It’s a decision I make every morning when I wake up. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I’ll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I’ve stored away.” She went on to explain, “Old age is like a bank account. You take what you’ve put in. So, my advice to you would be to put in a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories. Thank you fo r your part in filling my memory bank.” And with a smile, she said, “All my memories are happy ones.”Mrs. Jones was always happy in the nursing home and she died at the age of 108.27. Mrs. Jones was very happy when told about her room because she________.A. couldn’t see what her room was likeB. thought the nursing home was her homeC. would have to live in the nursing homeD. had already made up her mind to be happy28. Which of the following words can best describe Mrs. Jones?A. Proud.B. Cheerful.C. DeterminedD. HonestCThe State of Colorado has four of the best parks out of the 58 national parks in the United States. The parks have some of the best scenery of all the national parks．Black Canyon （峡谷）of Gunnison National ParkThis park offers the most breathtaking views from up in the mountains into the canyons below． While exploring the canyons, you will find that the walls drop nearly straight down into the narrow valleys of the snake-like rivers below．Visitors are offered more than 100 camping sites, and a lot of bird species and many animals are native to the area．Rocky Mountain National ParkIt is the only national park in the north central region in the state of Colorado．Elevations in this park are anywhere from 8,000 feet to 14,259 feet at the top of Longs Peak．While traveling throughout this park you will notice two very different climates because of the difference the upper peaks of the Rocky Mountains make. You can enjoy 359 miles of hiking trails, a lot of places for camping, horse-back riding and beautiful scenery.MesaVerde National ParkThis is probably the most interesting national park, offering a fascinating trip back in time to 600 AD up to 1300 AD．This park was declared a protected national park in 1906 because of the cliff dwellings （住所） that were found throughout the area, which were once-home to American Indians．Many of these dwellings can be walked through, while you imagine what each room may have been used for so many years ago．Great Sand Dunes （沙丘）National ParkThe Great Sand dunes National Park lies in south central Colorado, about 127 miles from Pueblo．This park has the tallest sand dunes in all of North America and has trails for hiking．The natural sandy beaches around the small rivers and lakes are good for swimmers．D“Just take a deep breath.” “Don’t think about it.” “You’re more likely to die in a car wreck on the way to the airport than you are in a plane crash.” These are just some words given to people with a fear of flying. But as Tom Cruise，playing Lt.Daniel Kaffee in the movie A Few Good Men，said，“I get sick when I fly because I’m afraid of crashing into a large mountain. I don’t think Daniel will help.”But there’s a new application that just may. Today，the VALK Foundation，a Dutch group that’s a partnership between KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Leiden University，launches the app in the US. The VALK Foundation was one of the first centers for fearofflying research and treatment in the world and is the organizer of three world conferences on fear of flying.The foundation said the app，called Flight App VALK，is the first scientifically-developed，webbased treatment for people who suffer from mild to moderate fear of flying.“The fear offlying application we have created aims to transfer all of the knowledge we have developed through our program into a mobile application that will help ease travelers’ fea rs，” said Dr.Lucas Van Gerwen，director of the VALK Foundation.Dr.Van Gerwen is also a psychologist and professional pilot with more than 30 years experience.The foundation said up to 30% of adults are fearful fliers. Flight App VALK is designed to help relax passengers before and during flights by educating users about flight safety and turbulence. It explains the sounds and sensations they can expect during departure，flight and landing. And，if a passenger’s flight stress reaches a panic level，they press a special panic button which provides audio and written information to help decrease flight stress levels. Most importantly，Flight App VALK can be used during the flight in the airplane mode. Once downloaded，the program does not require the Internet connection in the air.第二节（共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

辽宁省实验中学分校2013-2014学年高二6月月考英语试题第一部分：听力（1-20题略）第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）ASports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.21. Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of?A. Motor racing in the desert.B. Cycling around a lake.C. Playing basketball in a gym.D. Swimming in a sports center.22. What do we know about golf from the passage?A. It is popular in Portugal and Spain.B. It causes water shortages around the world.C. It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green.D. It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.23. The author uses power walking as an example mainly because _________.A. It uses fewer resources.B. It improves our health.C. It is an outdoor sport.D. It is suggested by experts.24. The author writes the passage to _________.A. show us the function of major sportsB. introduce different types of environment-friendly sportsC. discuss the major influence of popular sportsD. encourage us to go in for green sportsBThe Ministry of Health has called for more awareness from the public on the mental health ofthe young, as part of efforts to mark World Mental Health Day.More than 15 percent of the Chinese youth have been found with mental problems, and about 30 million young people under 17 are suffering from depression, the Shanghai based Wenhui Daily reported.The World Health Organization estimated that before 2020, the rate of children with mental problems will increase to 50 percent, and mental problems will become a major factor behind death and illness in the young worldwide.Deng Xiaohong, the spokesperson for the Beijing Municipal Health Bureau, said rapid social change is one of the reasons behind the rising number of youngsters with psychological problems.If these mental diseases are not addressed on time, occurrence of crime, drug-taking and other dangerous behavior is expected to rise.Experts said mental disease could be caused by many factors, such as the inability to handle interpersonal relations well, unstable emotions and pressure from the overload of study. A number of experts have also said the one-child policy is another reason leading to poor mental health in the young.Children were said to be too "spoiled" and "selfish" in one child families. Schools in many cities were reported rolling out measures to help students maintain their mental wellbeing. Yin Jingmiao, a teacher of the Beijing No. 105 Middle School, told China Daily that the school invites psychologists to provide counseling to students three times a month. "Students can be arranged to have 40minute counseling sessions," Yin said. The school also gives lectures on mental health to senior grade students before they take the national college entrance exams, to help ease any anxiety arising from the tests.27. From the passage we can know that the causes of mental problems are mainly thefollowing EXCEPT ________.A. one-child policyB. lack of ability to handle interpersonal relations wellC. lack of special training in mental healthD. heavy burden from study28. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. By 2020, about 50 percent of the people in China will have mental problems.B. Mental problems mainly appear among the youth while they are seldom seen among adults.C. China has the largest number of youngsters with psychological problems.D. Many schools have realized the problem and taken measures.CA shopkeeper sent his son to learn about the secret of happiness from the wisest man in theworld. The boy walked a long way, and finally came upon a beautiful castle where the wise man lived.Rather than finding a holy man, though, our hero, on entering the main room of the castle, saw a hive of activity tradesmen came and went, people were chatting in the corners and a small orchestra was playing soft music. The wise man talked with everyone, and the boy had to wait for two hours before it was his turn.The wise man listened carefully to the boy’s explanation of why he had come, but told him that h e didn’t have time just then to explain the secret of happiness. He suggested the boy look around the palace and return in two hours.“Meanwhile, I want to ask you to do something,” said the wise man, handing the boy a teaspoon that held two drops of o il. “As you wander around, carry this spoon with you without allowing the oil to spill”.The boy began to walk up and down stairs in the palace, keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon. After two hours, he returned.“Well,” asked the wise man, “Did you see the Persian tapestries (波斯织锦) hanging in my dining hall? Did you see the garden that it took the master gardener 10 years to create?”The boy was embarrassed, and replied that he had observed nothing. His only concern had been not to spill the oil.“Then go back and o bserve the wonderful things of my world,” said the wise man.Then the boy picked up the spoon and returned to his exploration of the palace, this time observing all of the works of art on the ceilings and the walls. He saw the gardens and the mountains all around him. When he returned, he described in detail everything he had seen.“But where are the drops of oil I gave to you?” asked the wise man. Looking down at the spoon he held, the boy saw that the oil was gone.“Well, there is only one piece of advice I can give you,” said the wise man. “The secret of happiness is to see all the wonder s of the world and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.”29. When the shopkeeper’s son arrived at the castle, he ______.A. received warm welcome from the wise manB. didn’t expect to see so many people aroundC. was shown around the palace by the local peopleD. had already missed his chance to talk to the wise man30. The wise man gave the boy two tasks in order to ______.A. let the boy enjoy his palace and gardenB. show him how to observe the wonderful things in the worldC. make him learn from his mistakesD. teach him the secret of happiness31. We can infer from the article that “the drops of oil on the spoon” probably refe r to ______.A. the beauty of natureB. the fortune a person ownsC. the responsibilities of a personD. the great opportunities in life32. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?A.The wise man was satisfied with the way the boy performed the second taskB. It took the wise man about 10 years to finish his garden.C. The wise man wasn’t paying much attention to the boy at first.D. The boy took no notice of the surroundings during his first task.DSomeday a stranger will read your email without your permission or scan the website you have visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.In fact, it is likely that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without permission? It might be a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen-----the 21st century is the equal of being caught naked.Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy and that it is important to reveal yourself to friends, families and lovers at appropriate time and places. But now few boundaries remain. The information you leave everywhere makes it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. Believe it or not, we live in a world where you simply can’t keep a secret. The key question is does that matter?When you ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few refuse to offer personal information like Social Security numbers to get supermarket loyalty cards.But privacy does matter—at least sometimes. It is like health when you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it is gone do you wish you had done more to protect it.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AI miss you ,Dad. I almost laugh out when I see you in myself, from the thinning hair on my head to the ways I respond to everyday things. It makes me realize that you are a part of me and will always be in my heart. It brings me a warm smile as I remember how you taught me about character, honesty, integrity ,and self-respect. You taught me to enjoy my work. You taught me to share, for only by giving something do I truly receive something. You taught me about love, as you loved all seven of us children so much.

One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM.When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her sidewas a small suitcase. I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”“Oh, you’re such a good man.” She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.At dawn, she suddenly said,”I’m tired. Let’s go now.”We drove in silence to the address she had given me.“How much do I owe you?” she asked.“Nothing.” I said.“You have to make a living,” she answered.“Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held into me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”9.

What can we learn from the story?A. Giving is always a pleasure.B. People should respect each other.C. An act of kindness can bring people great joy.D. People should learn to appreciate others’ concern.DFailure is mother of success, as the Chinese saying goes. I know it is not easy as parents to see our children failing. However, there is great value in “failure”.I remember many years ago when I was a student leader, I organized a camp with my committee, which turned out to be a disaster. We scheduled activities too close together, and didn’t assign(分配) enough time for meal and bath.My leaders, who I thought were thoroughly angry with us, led us lead, nevertheless. They kept us in check, and had a few talks with us during the camp and we readjusted the schedule. They gave us the freedom to lead and also the freedom to fail.Many years down the road, I was a guest speaker at a similar camp. Again, it was a disaster for different reasons. The student wrote a schedule, and the leaders rewrote it. The student came up with a menu, and the leaders changed it. While at the camp, the leaders amended (修改) the schedule further. The poor committee couldn’t attempt to lead without being ignored by their leaders.To be sure, I learned more from my failed camp than the one at which I was a guest. Having the skills to plan a camp at 16 set the foundation (基础) for future skills to plan a project and see it through at the workplace.As parents, many of us have much about how success arises from failure. The history of silence is filled with such stories: an experiment that went hopelessly wrong eventually led to something right.Most successes are achieved through persistence(坚持), and often only after persevering through failures, sometimes many times over. We only succeed because of a failure.12.In the first paragraph the author want to say that _______.A. children are more likely to fail than adultsB. Parents should allow children to make mistakesC. parents should know how to lead their children to succeedD. parents should help their children know the value of failure13.Why did the author fail to organize a successful camp?A. Because he didn’t arrange enough activitiesB. Because he didn’t prepare meals for campers.C. Because he didn’t arrange the time reasonablyD. Because he didn’t take advice from the leaders.14.It can be inferred from the passage that the author’s leaders ______.A. were disappointed with the studentsB. were not good at giving adviceC. were strict with the studentsD. were patient with the students15.By attending the two camps, the author learned that ______.A. leaders should care much about students’need.B. students should be given enough freedomC. students should make a schedule by themselvesD. students should ignore leaders’orders.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。
