I went to a wonderful school,West Catholic High School, for my freshman year.I remember my first day at that school as if it were yesterday. I was very nervous, and I could feel my heartbeat on the tips of my toes. My main fear was that I would not be able to express myself due to the language barrier. I was trying to have as little communication as I possibly could. And I almost succeeded, until we had to introduce ourselves in front of the class.And the moment the word “international”flew out of my mouth, i was surrounded by thirty people who were asking questions one after another. I remember some of the questions were “Where is the Ukraine? Is it a kingdom?”“Do you have McDonald’s? Does it taste the same?”and “Say something in your language.” It turned out to be the oppo site of less communication, but it was so much fun.During the first three months, I certainly experienced a bit of cultural shock. I think Americans are the nicest people I have ever met in my entire life. They always smile and say, “Hi, how are you?”One day, I noticed the students looking at me suspiciously . Finally , my classmate came up to my locker and whispered, “Is that true that you are a princess( 公主 )and that you came to study here so that nobody would recognize you?” At one point, I even had an image of myself wearing a gown and waving at the crowd. What ? People do have a wild imagination!During my study abroad experience, I saw a totally new world, experiencedgreat culture, met a lot of incredible( 不可思议的 )people and improved my language. This trip inspired me to learn foreign languages. That is one of the reasons why I speak five different languages today.1.

In Shanghai, the historic Bund( 外滩 )catches much attention---many former banks and trading houses along the Huangpu River, built a century ago in different architectural styles, are monuments to the grandeur( 辉煌 )of that era. It can also suffocating( 令人窒息的 )on weekends, with touristsstruggling for taking photos.For local residents, another part of the riverfront now known as the WestBund has become a far more appealing place to spend the weekend. Here, a once industrial area known for aircraft manufacturing( 制造 )has been transformed into a green corridor where local residents come to ride bikes or enjoypicnics on the grassy riverbank.In the last two years, museums and galleries have also started popping upas part of the city’s plan to turn the West Bund into a world-class art and culture center.On one end of the waterfront area, two huge industrial buildings have been transformed into the West Bund Art Center, site of a new annual art exhibition,and the Yuz Museum, focusing on contemporary works. On the other end is another institution exhibiting a mix of classical antiquities( 古董 )and modern Chinese art, called the Long Museum West Bund.It’s an ambitious effort. Under a national five-year plan to promote culture by building more museums, Shanghai has set out to transform itself from a commercial center into a cultural one.To achieve this, the city has built may museum buildings, including the Shanghai Natural History Museum, designed by the American architects, and the Power Station of Art, a Tate Modern-inspired art museum in a former powerplant that hosted a show of the Chinese artist Cai Guoqiang’s drawings.Across the river, two former exhibition halls from the 2010 World Expo have also been transformed into museums---the oversize glossy-red former China Exhibition Hall is the new home of the China Art Museum.1.

Shanghai’s leading role as a commercial center4. Weather experts said this year could be one of the strongest EL Nino events in recorded history. El Nino means severe weather conditions in parts of the world. In eastern Africa, for example, Kenya and Uganda are preparing for possible flooding. Yet South Africa and Malawi are already dealing with extremely dry weather.El Nino is Spanish for “the child”. It usually begins in December, near the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. In fact, the weather event was named in his honor. El Nino develops when winds off the west coast of South America weaken. This permits warm water in the western Pacific to expand toward the east and the Americas. At the same time, clouds and rain over the warm water move east, too. El Nio conditions normally appear only about twice every 10 years. Usually, El Nino conditions continue for about 12 to 18 months. They bring warm weather to some areas. These areas become wetter than normal, while others become drier.The United Nations Children’s Fund warns that many people are at risk from hunger, disease and water shortages resulting from El Nino. In the east and southern Africa up to 11 million children could be affected. East African countries usually experience heavy rainfall during the El Nino. SouthernAfrica usually has little rainfall which may lead to wildfires or drought( 干旱 ).Weather changes caused by El Nino depend on the strength of the condition. In the early 1980s, strong El Nino was linked to dry weather in Australia and Asia, rain and flooding in South America and high temperatures in many parts of the U.S. The years later, smaller El Nino caused trouble in parts of the U.S. It caused severe floods in the Southeast and the Middle West. Tom Di Leberto is a meteorologist( 气象学家 ) at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Washington, D.C. He said this year could be the third strongest El Nino on record. But we will not know for sure until all the weather records are examined.1. The author writes the text to tell us_________.A. many countries are preparing for the coming floodsB. Africa will probably suffer a lot form this year’s El NinoC. this year could be one of the strongest El Nino on recordD. 11 million c hildren could be affected by this year’s El Nino2. The second paragraph is mainly about ____________.A. what El Nino actually meansB. how El Nino comes into beingC. when El Nino will occur next timeD. why El Nino causes weather changes3. Which of the following countries often suffers from flooding caused by El Nino?A. KenyaB. MalawiC. AustraliaD. South Africa4. The author mentioned the 1980s’ El Nino and the 1990s’ El Nino to______ .A. explain why so many countries were affected by El NinoB. prove weather changes caused by El Nino depend on its strengthC. argue that El Nino conditions usually appear about twice every 10 yearsD. show scientists doubt whether this year will have the strongest El Nino二、七选五5.

Customers make a small deposit（押金）and get to use the thing for a daily cost, with a fine put in place for every day if they fail to return the product in time. It's a simple business model, and market data shows that people see sharing as a cheap and convenient way to cut down waste.Zhao Shuping founded the Sharing E Umbrella, an umbrella sharing service, in April. By the end of June, he had already started in 11 major Chinese cities, including Shanghai, Nanjing and Guangzhou. While picking up the umbrellas was relatively simple, as they were made available（可得到的）at bus and subway stations, the return system turned out to be a different matter. "Umbrellas are different from bicycles, "Mr. Zhao told Chinese news site . "Bikes can be parked anywhere, but with an umbrella you need something to hang it on. "So instead of bothering to return the umbrellas back to a station, a lot of people just took them home, and Sharing E Umbrella has reportedly lost track of most of the 300,000 umbrellas. Considering that borrowing umbrellas requires a 19 yuan deposit, with a fee of 0.50 yuan per half anhour usage, Zhao says that he suffers a loss of 60 yuan per lost umbrella, so the company is now in the red, but he is not ready to stop it just yet. Zhao announces that Sharing E Umbrella still plans to roll out（推出）30 million nationwide by the end of the year.24. What do we know about Sharing E Umbrella？A. It makes people learn to help each other.B. It needs people to make a small deposit first.C. It developed faster in the western countries.D. It produces more waste and causes disorder.25. What problem did Sharing E Umbrella meet after it was founded？A. The company had no money to produce umbrellas.B. Umbrellas are not allowed to hang anywhere.C. Lots of customers didn't give the umbrellas back.D. People refuse to pay deposit for the umbrellas.26. How much did his company lose if an umbrella was lost？A. 0.5 yuan.B. 19 yuan.C. 60 yuan.D. 120 yuan.27. We can infer from the last paragraph that.A. Zhao has found a way to get the umbrellas backB. Zhao will continue his umbrella sharing serviceC. Most of Zhao's companies have been closedD. Sharing E Umbrella is a failure for Zhao.C“A good book might clarify something you knew little about, transform your world view, or move you in ways you didn’t think possible. The Soul of an Octopus(章鱼)delivers on all three, ”the magazine New Scientist commented.After writing about birds, pigs and tigers, US naturalist Sy Montgomery decided to choose these many-footed animals as the subject of her latest book, The Soul of an Octopus: a surprising exploration into the wonder of consciousness.“Here is animal with poisonous liquid like a snake，a beak(喙)like a parrot，and ink like an old-fashioned pen. It can weigh as much as a man and extend as long as a car, yet it can pour its。

We worked for the same company, and he retired two years before I was also considered “spare”, as some companies call it.Soon after I left work, we had lunch together. First, he assured me that there was life after work. Then he related his own experience. He didn’t want to take another full-time job, so he turned his daughter’s old bedroom into a home office. He arranged for some consulting work from our old company, and he picked up more projects from other contacts. Soon he was working 20 to 30 hours a week. He wasn’t making as much money. His kids were grown-up, so he didn’t need as much income. “As soon as I left that job,” he told me, “my back problems went away. I started to eat better and get more exercise, I make half as much money, but I feel twice as good, and I’m twice as happy.”I decided to follow a similar track. At the time, my younger child almost finished college, so my parental responsibilities were winding down. We sold our old house and moved into a townhouse. I went to work for myself. And the result? Today I, too, make less money. But we make ends meet. And I feel twice as good and twice as happy.Our experienc e isn’t for everybody. But a lot of people have retired early and lived to tell the tale, which proves it possible. Jack, another friend, was a salesman for a communication firm. He had a long distance to work and did a lot of traveling. He decided to leave the corporate world, in part because he had health problems and he wanted to spend more time with his family. Later, he quit his job with flexible hours and was restored to his health. And now he has found a part-time job, and he, together with his family, is leading a more relaxing life. 4．How did the author and his friends feel about their retired life?A．It’s busy but wealthy.B．It’s flexible but tiring.C．It’s healthy and happy D．It’s relaxing and wasteful.5．What did the writer’s friend try to tell h im at lunch that day?A．He regretted not leaving his job earlier. B．He lived a much better life after retiring C．He made more money after finding a new job. D．His life was not easy for him after losing his job.6．Before Jack left his last job, he ______.A．lived a busy life B．used to find part-time jobsC．often traveled with his family D．worked hard as a real travel agent 7．What does the author mainly confirm by writing the text?A．Health is more important than workB．Young people generally live an exhausting life.C．More retired people are paying attention to health.D．It may be a good choice for people who retire early to do a part-time job.On Aug 29, 1988, the University of Wisconsin-Madison juniors Tim Keck and Christopher Johnson published the first-ever issue of The Onion. The two founders claimed it was the “finest news source” in the US. 25 years later, the news has become one of the most established media presences in the US. But don’t expect accuracy and timeliness from it, because The Onion only publishes fake news or news satire (讽刺). Its aim is to make readers laugh and see things from a different angle.Will Tracy, The Onion’s editor-in-chief, told the NPR in an interview. “The stories are presented in that sort of news voice which improves the news to a certain level of importance. The news isn’t actually understandable but it has an ability to elegantly locate a problem with concise and plain words.” For example, when George W. Bush became the US president in 2001, The Onion published a satire piece predicting massive debt and a huge growth in military spending. The headline said it all—Bush: “Our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally over”.Traditional media outlets are cautious when reporting sensitive topics such as religion and race. Tracy says/‘Nothing is off limits for The Onion, no matter how uncomfortable they may make some readers.” But editors at The Onion do stand a fine line, as Tracy explains: “What you have to be really careful about is what the target of the joke is. If the target of the joke is wrong, then it doesn’t feel right and it also doesn’t feel funny.” The Onion made the public outrageous when earlier this year, it tried to make fun of a 9-year-old Oscar-nominated (奥斯卡提名的) actress by using highly impolite language. It later apologized.8．What do we know about The Onion from Paragraph 1?A．Its news materials are all timely and accurate.B．It often makes fun of the public based on the real news.C．It aims at making readers feel relaxed and see problems from different points.D．Its first articles on Aug 29, 1988 were written by Tim Keck and Christopher Johnson. 9．What can be inferred from the example in Paragraph 2?A．The Onion often scolded the US president Bush.B．The Onion, s editors were very familiar with their news.C．The Onion could put their satire into effect in simple and clear words.D．The Americans would face lots of difficulties when Bush became president.10．What does the underlined word “outrageous” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Angry. B．Glad.C．Ambitious. D．Impolite.11．What can we learn about The Onion from the text?A．It has never apologized for what it published.B．It needs to be cautious about the target of the joke.C．It enjoys treating children as the targets of the joke.D．It avoids reporting news about politician, religion and race.Pound for pound, healthy food is cheaper than junk food, according to a new research from the U. K.The Institute of Economic Affairs found that the average cost for a “wide range” of healthy foods was about £ 2 per kilogram, compared with £ 3 a kilogram for less-healthy products such as processed and ready-made foods.Still, study after study finds that cost is often a barrier when it comes to healthy eating. Convenience drives consumers to care about habits more than prices, the U. K. study concluded. Taste and convenience often play a larger role in people’s food choices than price or nutritional quality.“Processed foods are extremely expensive, especially when it comes to the nutrient value. S ome of the healthiest, most inexpensive foods aren’t so attractive. Beans cost next to nothing, especially when bought dry and in great amounts. They take time and some skills to prepare. ”said Ciara Foy, a nutritionist.Instead, busy parents reach for th e chicken. “You might be getting something that has enough calories to fill you up but you’re actually not getting any nutrients, so your body’s going to keep wanting more and more food,” said Foy. “And that’s why in North America we, re overfed and undernourished (营养不良的).”Makers tend to try to promote their product based on perceived health benefits, which makes consumers confused at times with what is a healthy product and how much you should pay for those benefits. The most expensive items, healthy or not, are the ones that end up in the trash. “A lot of people waste a lot of food,” Foy said. It’s estimated that more than $ 30 billion of food is wasted in Canada every year. Foy recommends taking a look in your fridge to see what needs to be used up when planning for the next night’s meals. “If you actually cut down on the waste you’ll find that you can afford healthy food,” Foy said.12．In the author’s opinion, people choose junk food mainly because of its . A．quality and taste B．price and nutritionC．taste and convenience D．advertisement and nutrition13．Why are beans unpopular with some people?A．It is not convenient to buy them.B．They are too expensive to afford.C．They make people want more and more food.D．It is not very easy to prepare them for dishes.14．What can be learned from the text?A．Healthy food must cost more.B．Not wasting food, we can afford healthy food.C．Canadians are most fond of eating junk food now.D．Food makers always take health benefits into consideration.15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Don’t Waste FoodB．Healthy Food Is Cheaper Than Junk FoodC．Healthy Food Can Better Your Life and CareerD．Junk Food Really Steals People’s Life and Health二、七选五Follow these steps and you’ll be getting to bed earlier before you know it.16．If you’re currently going to bed at 11 pm, don’t decide that tonight you’re going to get to bed at 9 pm. But more generally, it’s also important to give your body time to adjust as you start changing your bedtime. So you should take smaller steps.17．Write down your new bedtime.Set up your environment to avoid objections.What you’ll need to do is to think through your specific plan, and identify potential objections.18．Imagine your routine for this evening, think through any possible obstacles and decide on specific ways that you’ll avoid them.Set reminders for yourself to stick to your plan.19．The idea here is that reminders not only alert you in the moment, but they also help you build tiny habits for certain behaviors.Decide what time you’re going to begin the process of getting ready for bed. Add it to your calendar.Make a public commitment.Making a public commitment to getting something done is a great way to create responsibilities for yourself.20．Decide what time you’re going to go to bed tonight and find friends to tell them what time you’re going to bed in case you miss your bedtime.A．Make a change gradually.B．Studies show that once we make it, we are more likely to honor it.C．Remind yourself to go to bed as early as possible tonight.D．Decide to go to bed 15 minutes earlier tonight than you usually do.E.Make sure you get success in one time when you plan to change your bedtime.F.Once you’ve mapped out a plan for your evening, you can set reminders for yourself.G.The idea is to design your environment to make it less likely that you’ll give up your plan.三、完形填空I always hold the view that every act of kindness can eventually change the world as generosity, gratitude and trust.1 was parking at a hiking road when a man in the car next to mine looked out and started to ask me for help.“No 21 .”I told him, as l was willing to help anyone in 22 .It turned out that his battery was 23 and no one would help jump to start his car!I 24 him if he had cables（缆绳），which he did, and in less than five 25 I gave him a jump start and his car 26 at the drop of a hat. He thanked me and asked "How much do I 27 you?" and I looked at him in 28 and said "Not a thing!"He said "You won't believe it 29 I've been sitting here for so long and I asked at least three people to 30 me and no one would do it".

AGypsiesAccording to the linguistic and genetic researches,ancestors of the Gypsies left the land of India in the amountthat did not go beyond 1,000 people. Today there are about 10million Gypsies in the world. Some scientists believe thatGypsies were Egyptians.SumeriansSumerians must be the mysterious people in the ancient world.We know nothing about their origin and nothing about the originof their language. The Sumerians were rather advanced—theybecame the first in the Near East to use a wheel, to create anirrigation system and their unique writing. And besides, theywere impressively good at maths and astronomy.MayaSome scientists believe that they are connected to legendaryatlantes (男像柱), others suppose their ancestors wereEgyptians. It’s thought that the Maya created an efficientagricultural system and had deep astronomy knowledge. Theircalendar was used by other people of Central America. Mayaapplied the hieroglyphic writing (象形文字) system. Now it seemsthat the Maya came from nowhere and disappeared nowhere.1. Whose ancestors do some scientists believe were Egyptians?A.

The Maya are thought to .A. exist on the earth nowB. have 10 million peopleC. have no writing systemD. be creative in some fields3. What can we learn from the text?A.

We worked for the same company, and he retired two years before I was also considered “spare”, as some companies call it.Soon after I left work, we had lunch together. First, he assured me that there was life after work. Then he related his own experience. He didn’t want to take another full-time job, so he turned his daughter’s old bedroom into a home office. He arranged for some consulting work from our old company, and he picked up more projects from other contacts. Soon he was working 20 to 30 hours a week. He wasn’t making as much money. His kids were grown-up, so he didn’t need as much income. “As soon as I left that job,” he told me, “my back problems went away. I started to eat better and get more exercise, I make half as much money, but I feel twice as good, and I’m twice as happy.”I decided to follow a similar track. At the time, my younger child almost finished college, so my parental responsibilities were winding down. We sold our old house and moved into a townhouse. I went to work for myself. And the result? Today I, too, make less money. But we make ends meet. And I feel twice as good and twice as happy.Our experience isn’t for everybody. But a lot of people have retired early and lived to tell the tale, which proves it possible. Jack, another friend, was a salesmanfor a communication firm. He had a long distance to work and did a lot of traveling. He decided to leave the corporate world, in part because he had health problems and he wanted to spend more time with his family. Later, he quit his job with flexible hours and was restored to his health. And now he has found a part-time job, and he, together with his family, is leading a more relaxing life.4. How did the author and his friends feel about their retired life?A. It’s busy but wealthy.B. It’s flexible but tiring.C. It’s healthy and happy.D. It’s relaxing and wasteful.5. What did the writer’s friend try to tell him at lunch that day?A. He regretted not leaving his job earlier.B. He lived a much better life after retiring.C. He made more money after finding a new job.D. His life was not easy for him after losing his job.6. Before Jack left his last job, he .A. lived a busy lifeB. used to find part-time jobsC. often traveled with his familyD. worked hard as a real travel agent7. What does the author mainly confirm by writing the text?A. Health is more important than work.B. Young people generally live an exhausting life.C. More retired people are paying attention to health.D. It may be a good choice for people who retire early to do a part-time job.COn Aug 29, 1988, the University of Wisconsin-Madison juniors Tim Keck and Christopher Johnson published the first-ever issue of The Onion. The two founders claimed it was the “finest news source” in the US. 25 years later, the news has become one of the most established media presences in the US. But don’t expect accuracy and timeliness from it, because The Onion only publishes fake news or newssatire (讽刺). Its aim is to make readers laugh and see things from a different angle.Will Tracy, The Onion’s editor-in-chief, told the NPR in an interview. “The stories are presented in that sort of news voice which improves the news to a certain level of importance. The news isn’t actually understandable but it has an ability to elegantly locate a problem with concise and plain words.” For example, when George W. Bush became the US president in 2001, The Onion published a satire piece predicting massive debt and a huge growth in military spending. The headline said it all—Bush: “Our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally over”.Traditional media outlets are cautious when reporting sensitive topics such as religion and race. Tracy says/‘Nothing is off limits for The Onion, no matter how uncomfortable they may make some readers.” But editors at The Onion do stand a fine line, as Tracy explains: “What you have to be really careful about is what the target of the joke is. If the target of the joke is wrong, then it doesn’t feel right and it also doesn’t feel funny.” The Onion made the public outrageous when earlier this year, it tried to make fun of a 9-year-old Oscar-nominated (奥斯卡提名的) actress by using highly impolite language. It later apologized.8. What do we know about The Onion from Paragraph 1?A. Its news materials are all timely and accurate.B. It often makes fun of the public based on the real news.C. It aims at making readers feel relaxed and see problems from different points.D. Its first articles on Aug 29, 1988 were written by Tim Keck and Christopher Johnson.9. What can be inferred from the example in Paragraph 2?A. The Onion often scolded the US president Bush.B. The Onion, s editors were very familiar with their news.C. The Onion could put their satire into effect in simple and clear words.D. The Americans would face lots of difficulties when Bush became president.10. What does the underlined word “outrageous” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Angry.B. Glad.C. Ambitious.D. Impolite.11. What can we learn about The Onion from the text?A. It has never apologized for what it published.B. It needs to be cautious about the target of the joke.C. It enjoys treating children as the targets of the joke.D. It avoids reporting news about politician, religion and race.DPound for pound, healthy food is cheaper than junk food, according to a new research from the U. K.The Institute of Economic Affairs found that the average cost for a “wide range” of healthy foods was about £ 2 per kilogram, compared with £ 3 a kilogram for less-healthy products such as processed and ready-made foods.Still, study after study finds that cost is often a barrier when it comes to healthy eating. Convenience drives consumers to care about habits more than prices, the U. K. study concluded. Taste and convenience often play a larger role in people’s food choices than price or nutritional quality.“Processed foods are extremely expensive, especially when it comes to the nutrient value. Some of the healthiest, most inexpensive foods aren’t so attractive. Beans cost next to nothing, especially when bought dry and in great amounts. They take time and some skills to prepare. ” said Ciara Foy, a nutritionist.Instead, busy parents reach for the chicken. “You might be getting something that has enough calories to fill you up but you’re actually not getting any nutrients, so your body’s going to keep wanting more and more food,” said Foy. “And that’s why in North America we, re overfed and undernourished (营养不良的).”Makers tend to try to promote their product based on perceived health benefits, which makes consumers confused at times with what is a healthy product and how much you should pay for those benefits. The most expensive items, healthy or not, are the ones that end up in the trash. “A lot of people waste a lot of food,” Foy said. It’s estimated that more than $ 30 billion of food is wasted in Canada every year. Foy recommends taking a look in your fridge to see what needs to be used up when planning for the next night’s meals. “If you actually cut down on the waste you’ll find that you can afford healthy food,” Foy said.12. In the author’s opinion, people choose junk food mainly because of its .A. quality and tasteB. price and nutritionC. taste and convenienceD. advertisement and nutrition13. Why are beans unpopular with some people?A. It is not convenient to buy them.B. They are too expensive to afford.C. They make people want more and more food.D. It is not very easy to prepare them for dishes.14. What can be learned from the text?A. Healthy food must cost more.B. Not wasting food, we can afford healthy food.C. Canadians are most fond of eating junk food now.D. Food makers always take health benefits into consideration.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Don’t Waste FoodB. Healthy Food Is Cheaper Than Junk FoodC. Healthy Food Can Better Your Life and CareerD. Junk Food Really Steals People’s Life and Health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。

辽宁省六校协作体2018—2019学年度上学期期初考试高二英语试题第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）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）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。

AWhat makes a building ugly? Everyone's got their own opinion, so it’s hard to say. Now, let’s take a look at some of the world’s worst buildings.The Torre VelascaThe Tone Velasca in Milan is in the centre of Milan (Italy). The tower, which went up in the 1950s, is about 100 metres tall. Its design is actually a modern representation of a traditional Lombard castle, where the lower parts were narrower (狭窄的）than the upper parts.The Mirador BuildingThe Mirador Building in Madrid (Spain) was created by Dutch studio MVRDV and the Spanish architect Blanca Lleo. The building, which is a block of flats, opened in 2005. There is a large rectangular (矩形的）hole in the upper part of it, which is used by the neighbourhood as a meeting area and playground.The Prague TV TowerThe Prague TV Tower is in Prague (the capital of the Czech Republic). It stands 216 metres high and looks a bit like a tall, thin space ship. Prague is famous for its architectural beauty,so when the tower was put up in 1985 by architect Vaclav Aulicky and engineer Jiri Kozak, many felt it didn’t fit in.The Longaberger Basket CompanyThe Longaberger Basket Company building is in Newark, Ohio (USA). The office block was opened in 1997 and looks like a very large basket. It，s got seven floors and two handles at the top. The handles weigh about 150 tons. It may not be the ugliest building in the w orld but it’s certainly one of the most unusual.21. According to the text, the Torre Velasca _________ .A. is similar to a Lombard castleB. was created by Blanca LleoC. has a history of over 100 yearsD. is taller than the Prague TV Tower22. Which of the following buildings might be the Mirador Building?A. B.C D23. When the Prague TV tower was put up, many people___ .A. liked it very muchB. thought little of itC. felt that it might fall down easilyD. thought that it was totally uselessBEmma and Ryan, a married couple, were driving to a friend’s house when Emma turned to Ryan and asked, “Would you like to stop for lunch?”Ryan replie d. “No,I’m not hungry yet,” and continued driving. Meanwhile, Emma sat quietly fuming (十分恼火)in the passenger seat. Ryan could not understand why Emma was unhappy. He had thought she was asking if he was hungry, but in reality, Emma was telling him that she was hungry and wanted to stop for lunch.Misunderstandings like this often occur between men and women, even among people from the same culture. Deborah Tannen, professor of linguistics at Georgetown University in the United States, has studied conversational rules.In Emma and Ryan’s situation, Emma was making a request in the form of a question. Her style of talking is common for women. She needed Ryan to agree they were both hungry. So, Emma asked Ryan what he wanted. She was really telling Ryan what she wanted; however, Ryan did not understand this. If he had been hungry, he would have said something more direct, such as, “I’m hungry. Let’s have lunch.”Tannen believes that most women grow up in a world where talk is used to express feelings. However, most men are raised differently and they tend to keep their feelings to themselves.Tannen says, for men, talk is often used as a situation used outside the home to gain respect, to entertain and get attention , or to exchange information. This is why men communicate by making each other laugh, or talking about sport and work. These men do not always feel it is necessary to talk to feel close or to express their feelings. Women, on the other hand, are encouraged to speak about their feelings since this isa way to build relationships.24. What can be inferred from Emma and Ryan’s story?A. Emma didn’t like Ryan.B. Ryan didn’t want to talk to Emma.C. Ryan didn’t want to eat with Emma.D. Emma wasn’t pleased with Ryan’s answer.25. According to Deborah Tannen, what causes the misunderstanding?A.Different culturesB. Different characteristicsC. Different ways of communicatingD.Different educational background26. Compared with women, men_______.A. talk less about feelingsB. communicate more with othersC. are more likely to become angryD.are better at building relationships27. What might be the best title for the text?A. Why women like to express feelingsB. How men and women communicateC. Different ways of supporting a childD. Misunderstandings in social communicationCRed meat, usually considered to be beef, pork, mutton and lamb products, have nutritional value, but eating red meat also raises some health concerns.Red meat is an excellent source of protein(蛋白质). It is also a key source of vitamin B12, which is only available in animal products and is key for both red blood cell and nerve health. Red meat is also a rich source of zine, selenium(硒) andiron. Zinc and selenium are good for our immune system (免疫系统). Iron helps transport oxygen in the blood, and low levels of iron can lead to feeling tired. Eating red meat, especially lean cuts(廋肉), with meals and snacks, may help people curb hunger between meals and help people with weight management.Health risks of red meat may include the risk of heart disease and cancer. It is usually best to avoid processed meats. These tend to contain lots of salt and nitrites(亚硝酸盐), which may damage our health. Choosing lean cuts and cooking meat correctly may reduce health risks. It is generally advised not to undercook or overcook red meat and to avoid grilling(烧烤).When it comes to red meat and health, another thing is whether the animals are grain or grass-fed. Grass-fed animals frequently have a better quality of life. Grass feeding can be more environmentally friendly as well.Many governments suggest the amount of red meat should be safely included in a healthy diet. The amount varies between nations, but several portions a week are usually acceptable. Those who choose to include eating red meat may wish to choose grass-fed animals and to cut off any fat before eating.28. According to Paragraph 2, red meat _____.A.is quite expensiveB. a major source of various vitaminsC.can provide important nutrition for usD.contains protein that can’t be found in plants29. What does the underlined word “curb”in paragraph2 probably mean?A. experienceB. developC. controlD. realize30. What suggestion does the author give us on eating red meat?A. We should eat it anyway we like.B. We should cut it out from our diet.C. We should cook it as long as possible.D. We should pay attention to its quality and amount.31.What may be the best title for the text?A. Red meat and healthB. Diseases related to red meatC. Unhealthy diet of meat loversD. Methods of cooking red meatDScientists in Argentina have created the world’s first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce human-like milk.Genetic engineering was used to introduce the "mothers’ milk" genes into the animal before birth, according to the National Institute of Agribusiness Technology in Buenos Aires.As an adult, the cloned cow "will produce milk that is similar to that of humans", which will prove "a development of great importance for the nutrition of infants(婴儿)", said the institute. "The cloned cow, named Rosita ISA, is the first in the world with two human genes that contain the proteins present in human milk," said the statement.In April, scientists in China published details of research showing that they had created dairy cows which produced milk containing proteins found in human breast milk. But the Argentine team said the Chinese only introduced one human gene, while their research involved two, meaning the milk will more closely resemble that of humans.“Our goal was to raise the nutrition value of cows’ milk by adding two human genes, which do good to the immune system of infants,” sai d Adrian Mutto, from the National University of San Martin which worked with the institute.Cristina Kirchner, President of Argentina, said that the scientific institute made all Argentines proud. She also said that she had refused the "honor" of having the cow named after her. "They came to tell me that the name is Cristina, but what woman would like to have a cow named after her? It appeared to me to be more proper to call it Rosita.”32. What is the passage mainly about?A. The importance of genetic engineering.B. Ways to improve mothers’ milk.C. Advanced agricultural technology in Argentina.D. A cloned cow to produce human-like milk.33. Which of the following can best replace “more closely resemble” in Para 4?A. have more varieties thanB. have more nutrition thanC. be more similar toD. be more different from34. What can be inferred from Cristina Kirchner’s statements?A. She was quite satisfied with the research done by the institute.B. She considered it an honor to name the special cow.C. She felt it improper to be named after the cow.D. She refused to give a name to the cow out of self-respect.35. What’s Adrian Mutto’s attitude to the genetic engineering?A.negativeB. supportiveC.indifferentD.mixed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。

ATwo good friends, Sam and Jason, met with a car accident on their way home one night. The next morning, Sam woke up blind. His legs were broken. The doctor，Mr. Lee，was standing by his bed，looking at him with a thoughtful expression. When he saw Sam awake, he asked，“How are you feeling, Sam？”Sam smiled and said，“Not bad, doctor. Thank you for doing the operation(手术)．”Mr. Lee was moved by Sam. When he wa s leaving, Sam said，“Please don't tell Jason about it.”“...OK，”Mr. Lee replied.Months later when Jason's wounds (伤)healed, Sam was still very sick. Neither could he see nor walk. What he could do was just stay in his wheelchair all day long. At first, Jason stayed with him for a few days. But days later，Jason felt very discouraged and embarrassed to spend time staying with a disabled man like Sam. So he went to see Sam less and less. He made new friends. From then on, he didn't go to visit Sam any more. Sam didn't have any family or friends other than Jason. He felt very sad.Things went from bad to worse. Sam died a year later. When Jason came, Mr. Lee gave a letter to him. It was from Sam. In the letter Sam said，“Dear Jason, I am disabled. But I want you to be ahealthy man. So I gave my eyes to you so that you can enjoy life as a healthy man. Now you have new friends. I'm glad to see that you are as healthy as usual. I'm glad you live a happy life.

What do they usually do in their free time? You may feel curious about them.On April 8, a report came out on the lives of high school students in China, Japan, South Korea and the US. It surveyed around 6,200 students from the four countries last year. You will find the answers to many of your questions in this report.Who studies hardest?Chinese students spend the most time studying. Nearly half of Chinese students spend more than two hours on their homework every day. That’s much more than the US (26.496), Japan (8.2%) and South Korea (5.2%).Who sleeps most often in class?Japanese students fall asleep in class most often. About 45% of them said they soon doze off in class. In South Korea, it’s 32%; in the US, 21%; and 5% in China.South Korean students don’t like taking no tes. About 70% said they write down what the teacher says in class, many fewer than in Japan (93%), china (90%) and the US (89%).Who is the most distracted (走神)?American students are the most active in class, but also the most distracted: 64.2% said they chat with friends in class; 46.9% said they eat snacks in class; and 38.9% said they send e-mails or read unrelated books in class.What do they do after school?In their spare time, most Chinese students study or surf the Internet.

The underlined phrase “doze off’ means .A. be half asleepB. get upC. eat snacksD. send emailsCAre you scared about moving up to senior high school? It can be a new experience, but you shouldn’t worry. We’ve put together a guide on how to survive the first week.You're not aloneRemember everybody else in your year is in the same boat. They may not realize it, but they're just as nervous as you are. Moving to senior high school is an opportunity, not a problem. Things are different and all you need to do is be polite and learn the new rules.Teachers are ready to help!If you're unsure what to do or are worried about anything then you had better ask for help. Teachers are probably the best people to turn to as they're experienced in helping new students. Some senior high schools also have a “friends system”. If your school has this, then you will be paired with an older student. They will look out for you and help you if you have any problems or questions.All changeThere are lots of differences between junior high school and senior high school. You'll have a homework diary or a student planner. You will have your lessons with different teachers in different rooms. You will have homework for different subjects on different days, so make sure you get organized. Make sure you have a copy of your school timetable written down so you know which rooms your classes are in and on which days you will have your different subjects.Other pointsIf you've got an older brother or sister at the school then ask them for advice.Be yourself! It sounds simple, but people will know you much better if you just act naturally.Having early nights makes a difference and you'll find it easier to get up in the morning!28. What’s the closest meaning of the underlined sentence?A. Other students have to learn boating with you.B. Other students will teach you politeness and new rules.C. Other students have similar feelings to yours.D. Other students will help you solve your problems.29. Why do the new students turn to teachers first when having problems?A. Teachers are equal to every student.B. Teachers are good at helping solve problems.C. Parents are too busy to help them.D. Teachers won't blame them as parents do.30. Which of the following is NOT true?A. You can act in a natural way.B. You should go to bed early enough.C. You may ask your older brother for advice.D. You must focus on dressing properly.31. What's the purpose of the passage?A. To help new students to get used to life in senior high school.B. To tell students the importance of learning.C. To make a difference when moving up to senior high school.D. To warn students not to ignore friendship in senior high school.DNow many young people are travelling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it was something eve ryone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30year-old.Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”,which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”. He said: “The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I'm dealing with a difficult task.I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said: “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”32. Why is it challenging to travel alone?A. It will finally build your character.B. You have to make things on your own.C. It is hard for you to prove yourself to others.D. You depend on yourself whatever happens.33. Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?A. Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.B. It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.C. It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.D. Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.34. What can we infer about Chris Richardson?A. He started traveling at an early age.B. He was once shot in the arm.C. He used to work as a salesman.D. His website inspires others a lot.35. What is the best title for other passage?A. Travel Wide and FarB. Travel UnaccompaniedC. Travel LightD. Travel Abroad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。

Because of its small size, you can see a lot of the country in just a short time. You can really make the most of your time as a volunteer. A lot of work is needed with wildlife and ecological work, so if you want to look after turtles on the beach, Costa Rica could be just the place for you21. If you want to do some research about some rare trees, you will probably go to _.A. AustraliaB. KenyaC. BrazilD. Costa Rica22.

And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Jonses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.24.

Because of some flights that can often last several days, weeks, or even longer, some sea birds have long been thought of being able to fall fully asleep while “on the wing”, though it was not proven.Now researchers say they have evidence which shows birds can sleep in flight. Scientists from Max Planck Institute used a sample of 15 adult female frigatebirds(军舰鸟) to test the sleep patterns. Each bird had a small electroencephalogram(EEG脑电图) sensor fitted to record changes in the animals’ brain activity as they flew for up to 10 days and over 3,000 kilometres.The readings showed that during flight the birds could sleep using one hemisphere of the brain, or both to gether. It was known that frigatebirds could sleep with one “half” of the brain, which allows them to keep one eye open and “connected” to the awake half.According to the research, it is sleeping technique used by birds for finding directions. “Frigatebir ds sleep mostly while circling in rising air and keep the eye connected to the awake hemisphere facing the direction of flight, suggesting that they watch where they are going,” says the study.Despite the ability to fall “fully” asleep, the birds were fou nd to do it less in the air compared to one land. They slept “very little and less deeply while in flight. This suggests that though it is possible, falling totally asleep is not very good during flight which will need the bird’s attention.The researchers said the short sleep could be serving as “power naps” to keep the birds going until they return to land. Further study could help us understand why lack of sleep affects humans so badly.32. The phrase “on the wing” in the first paragraph may mean .A. sleepingB. fightingC. flyingD. thinking33. Why did the researchers fit the frigatebirds with EEG sensors?A. To know animals’ brain activity.B. To get some of the good samples.C. To help the birds fly much longer.D. To use the birds to find directions.34. How do the sleeping birds find the directions?A. They keep one eye connected to the awake part.B. They sleep less when they are circling in rising air.C. They pay special attention to the way.D. They have a good sleep before they start flying.35. What is the best title of the text?A. A Study on Birds in FlightB. Birds Can Sleep in FlightC. Flying Bird’s Brain ActivityD. Sleep With Half of the Brain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。
