AAt the age of ten I could not figure out what this Elvis Presley guy had that the rest of us boys did not have.I mean,he had a head,two arms and two legs,just like the rest of us.About nine o’clock on Saturday morning I decided to ask Eugene Correthers,one of the older boys,what it was that made this Elvis guy so special.He told me that it was Elvi s’ wavy hair and the way he moved his body.About half an hour later all the boys in the orphanage(孤儿院)were called to the main dining-room and told we were all going to downtown Jacksonville,Florida to get a new pair of Buster Brown shoes and a haircut.That is when I got this big idea,which hit me like a ton of bricks. If the Elvis hair cut was the big secret,then that’s what I was going to get.All the way to town I told everybody, including the matron(女管家)from the orphanage who was taking us to town,that I was going to look just like Elvis Presley and that I would learn to move around just like he did and that I would be rich and famous one day, just like him.When I got my new Buster Brown shoes, I could hardly wait for my new hair cut and now that I had my new Busier Brown shoes I would be very happy to go back to the orphanage and practice being like Elvis.We f inally arrived at the big barber shop,where they cut our hair for free because we were orphans(孤儿).I looked at the barber and said,“I want an E lvis hair cut. Can you make my hair like Elvis?”I asked him,with a big smile on my face.“Let's just see what we can do for you,little man,”he said.I was so happy when he started to cut myhair.Just as he started to cut my hair, the matron signed for him to come over to where she was standing.She whispered something into his ear and then he shook his head,like he was telling her“No”.Then he told me they were not allowed to give us Elvis hair cuts.Then I saw my hair falling onto the floor.21.In the author’s eyes,Elvis Presley was_________.A.disgusting B.admirable C.ambitious D.dynamic22.From the passage,we can know that______________.A.Buster Brown was more appealing than Elvis PresleyB.An Elvis hair cut cost the orphans a lot of moneyC.The matron did not want the boy to have an Elvis hair cutD.The barber was unwilling to give the boy an Elvis hair cut23.We can learn from the underlined sentence that the boy was______.A.excited to have an Elvis hair cut B.worried to think about the secret C.anxious to remove the ton of bricks D.careful to seize the chance 24.How would the boy probably feel when he walked out of the barber shop? A.Delighted. B.Guilty. C.Self-satisfied.D.Depressed.BInstagram 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 food 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 custom ers 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.UnconcernedC.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 Diner C.No Need to Pay D.Food for LifeCChi na’s famous scientist, the Cloth Shoes Academician Li Xiaowen passed away on January 10th, 2015 in Beijing at the age of 67. Hundreds of thousands of netizens sang high praise for him o nline, showing their respect to the leading authority in remote sensing field. Following Li Xiaowen’s last wish, his family held a simple funeral for him, while manyadmirers from all over the country came to the funeral for remembrance. Some national leaders including Premier Li Keqiang also sent a wreath.Li was a professor at Beijing Normal University and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Science. His research achievements have advanced the development of remote sensing science, and made China one of the leaders in this field. He also received several famous science prizes from China. He published 1,878 essays on his blog since 2007. All his students have thumbed up to Li for his contributions to the development of remote sensing. He was known to everyone in the remote sensing circle, but was impressive on netizens for a photo.In recent years, Pr ofessor Li’s quiet and self-effecing behavior was recognized through social media. In 2014, a photograph of Academician Li was taken by his student, in which he was attentively making a lecture with shabby clothes, grizzled(斑白的) hair and straggling beard, without socks, and wearing black cloth shoes. He looked like an old villager, rather than a famous scientist. The photo became popular on the Internet and earned him the title of the “Cloth Shoes Academician.” His simple pl ain image, kindness to all his students and dedication to his career are three important features on him. All these are precious to educational and academic community.“The society is changeable but Academician Li is quiet. He faced all stuff with his char acters of quietness and simplicity. It is clear that he has become the ‘Teacher Immortal’.” said Ge Yuejing, a senior leader of Beijing Normal University.29. Why was Li Xiaowen popular with netizens?A.

The second paragraph mainly tells us ________.A. why Li Xiaowen was called the Cloth Shoes AcademicianB. how Li Xiaowen was loved by h is studentsC. how Li Xiaowen did his researchD. what achievements Li Xiaowen has made31. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. Premier Li Keqia ng came to Li Xiaowen’s funeral.B. A good teacher needs to publish essays on the Internet.C. Social media made Professor Li Xiaowen world-famous.D. Professor Li’s attitude to life and his career earned himself high praise and respect.DWhat is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed(展示)at the entrance? Or the soft background music?But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad,the answer is likely to be no.But while a shop’s scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds,it is certainly there.And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance,via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air.One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores,customers’ intension to purchase increased by 80 percent.When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs,scent is just as important to a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sales.That is mainly because shopping is a very different e xperience to what it used to be.Some years ago,the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants’disproving attitude and don’t-touch-what-you-can’t afford displays.Now the rise of electronic commerce(e-commerce)has opened up famous brands to a wider audience.But while e-shops can use sights and sounds,only bricks-and-mortar stores(实体店)can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop,but rather a destination.And scent is just one way to achieve this.Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department,and coconut(椰子)scent in the swimsuit section.Adepartment store has even opened a new lab,inviting customers on a journey into the store’s windows to smell books,pots and drawers,in search of their perfect scent. 32.According to the passage,what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?A.Friendly assistant. B. Unique scents.C.Soft background music D.attractive window display.33.E-shops are mentioned in the passage to_____.A.show the advantages of brick-and-mortar storesB.urge shop assistants to change their attitudeC.push stores to use sights and soundsD.introduce the rise of e-commerce34.The underlined word“destination”in Paragraph 5 me ans_____.A.a platform that exhibits goodsB.a spot where travelers like to stayC. a place where customers love to goD.a target that a store expects to meet35.The main purpose of the passage is to________.A.compare and evaluate B.examine and assessC.argue and discuss D.inform and explain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。

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.

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.

AOne day an old woman was traveling alone in the mountains. Suddenly she saw something shining in the stream. When she came close, she found it was a precious stone. She put the stone into her bag and went on with her trip.The next day the old woman met a young man, who was also a traveler in the mountains. The young man looked very hungry, so the old woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked carefully, “The stone is beautiful. Would you like to give it to me?”“Sure. Why not?” the woman said, and handed the stone to him.The young man left happily with the stone. He knew it was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the woman.“I’ve been thinking,” he said. “I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back and hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within your bag.”The woman opened her bag. It was almost empty. She looked at the young man and smiled, “I have nothing special in my bag, but I do have something precious —the joy of giving!”The young man felt ashamed and left silently.21. How did the young man find the precious stone?A. He found it in his food.B. He dug it out in a valley.C. He saw it in the woman’s bag.D. He noticed it shining in the stream.22. What does the underlined word “security” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Money.B. Worry.C. Health.D. Trouble.23. The man returned the stone to the woman because ______.A. he found the stone was not preciousB. he understood the real meaning of joyC. he felt embarrassed at taking away the stoneD. he wanted to get something even more precious24. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. A special stoneB. The joy of giving. A woman and a young man D. An experience in the mountainsBUsually, legends are stories of events from long ago. Urban legends, on the other hand, are stories in the recent past, perhaps even last week! Urban legends are that there are many different versions (版本) of the same story, with local information changed to make the story seem more real. Today, the Internet has become a common way for urban legends to spread very quickly.A good example of an urban legend is the story of the girl who was killed by her jeans. In the 1980s, it was popular to wear very tight jeans. At that time, Levi’s sold special jeans that shrank (缩水) when you washed them. According to the story, a girl wanted to make her jean as tight as possible, so she wore them in the water. Unluckily, they shrank so much that the girl died. In fact, t his legend came from a Levi’s advertisement on TV. In the TV ad, a man stepped into the water and his tight jeans became the right size.However, some stories that sound like urban legends really come from real events. For example, there is a story about muggers (抢劫者) using snakes to rob people. There have been real reports about this. The muggers hold a snake in a person’s face and then take the person’s money. According to the legend, these muggers are very common, so you should keep an eye out for strangers carrying snakes.25. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. It tells readers some surprising stories.B. It tells readers what urban legends are.C. It tells readers how to make up urban legends.D. It tells readers a TV ad.26. The passage tells us that urban legends ______.A. usually take place in the country, or in small townsB. have the same version in different placesC. none of them come from real eventsD. are immediately known because of the Internet27. What happened to the girl in the jeans story?A. She shrank.B. She played a part in a TV ad.C. Her jeans became too small.D. A man stepped into the water, too.28. Which story in the passage really happened?A. The dog in the microwave.B. The dead man in the office.C. The girl killed by her jeans.D. The muggers using snakes.CFor many people in the US, sports are not just for fun. They’re almost a “religion”.Thousands of sports fans buy expensive tickets to watch their favorite teams and athletes play in person. Other fans watch the games at home,sticking to their TV sets,never missing a game. Many a wife becomes a “sports widow” during her husband’s favorite season. Americans’ devotion to sports has created a new class of wealth y people:professionalathletes. Sports stars often receive million-dollar salaries. Some even make big money by appearing in advertisements for soft drinks,shoes and almost everything.Sports are an important part of American culture. Throughout their school life,Americans learn to play many sports. Many students try out for the school teams. Athletic events at universities attract scores of fans and benefit the whole community. Many people also enjoy non-competitive activities,like hiking,cycling,horseback riding,camping or hunting.Many sports were imported from other countries. Europeans brought tennis,golf,bowling and boxing to America. Football and baseball came from other Old World games. Only basketball has a truly American origin. Americans export sports fever as well. Satellites broadcast games to sports fans around the globe. NBA is a good example. The names of American superstars like basketball great Michael Jordan have become household words all over the world.29.Many a wife becomes a “sports widow” in the US probably because________..they are serious in religion B.they are devoted to sports.their husbands stick to sports D.their husbands are missing30.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?.The US sports stars can earn a large sum of money via the media..American students go in for various sports and athletic events..Lots of American people take part in non-competitive activities..American people like to exchange different sports from each other.31.We can infer from the passage that________..all the Americans are sports fans.sports culture influences the world.most Americans like competition.America has invented many sports32.The writer mainly intends to tell us________..how important sports are in America.where sports can help to make money.why sports are so popular in America.what affect Americans’ everyday lifeDAn Announcementt was a small town which lay by the coast. Most people there lived by catching fish. The hurricanes often struck the area from July to October. Some of the people died on the sea when their boats were blown over by the high winds. So they paid much attention to the weather forecasts. They were afraid to meet with the hurricanes when they were catching fish on the sea. Each of the families had a radio and people always took them with themselves and listened to them at any time.t was September. A hurricane attacked the town one night. Plenty of trees were pushed over and all the electric and telephone lines wer e broken. People couldn’t watch TV, or call their friends, or go to work. To their anger, they couldn’t listen to the weather forecasts the Town Radio Station broadcast. The food and fresh water would soon be short and the patients couldn’t be given medica l care—no medicine could be carried there. People didn’t know what would happen and they looked anxious.n the fourth day they read an announcement on the Town Weekly. It was written,“Recently we have to stop the weather forecast because of the bad weather. We usually get the forecasts from the airport. But the roads are all blocked by the fallen trees and stones. Whether or not we’ll be able to broadcast the weather forecast tomorrow depends on the weather!”33.

AJerome Kern is often called “The father of American musical theater (音乐剧)”. Kern is remembered for the hundreds of songs he wrote for musical plays and movies. Music historians say that Kern gave artistic importance to American popular music for the first time.Jerome Kern was born into a middle-class family in New York City in 1885. Jerome’s mother, Fanny, loved the piano. She began to teach Jerome how to play it when he was very young. He became a fair piano player, but not so good that anyone expected him to become a great musician.Jerome was a quiet boy. When he completed high school, his father said he would have to work in the family’s store. Mr. Kern said his son could never make money by writing music. But he later came to believe that Jerome might do better in music than in business after all. So he let the boy go to Europe to study music, as almost all serious young musicians did at the time.Jerome Kern began his career as a songwriter in theaters in London and later in New York City. Success came quickly. By the early 1920s, Kern was a successful young composer for Broadway musical comedies. In one three-year period alone, he wrote music for 19 shows.Other people wrote the words for Kern’s songs. Kern wrote only the music. And he worked on each song endlessly until he was satisfied that the music was perfect. He almost never changed his music to fit the words.One critic wrote this about h is music: Kern’s songs are like black and whit e drawings. They need no color,no decoration. His song is always in balance, perfect in form and pleasing in design.21. Jerome Kern does best in .A. directing moviesB. singing songsC. writing songs for musical theaterD. writing plays and movies22. What do we know about Kern’s childhood?A. He received little education.B. He was born into a poor family.C. His mother influenced him a lot.D. His father expected him to become a musician.23. What’s mainly talked about in the fourth paragraph?A. Kern’s hope about his future.B. Kern’s achievements.C. The awards Kern gained.D. The advantages Kern had.24. According to the critic’s comments in the last paragraph, .A. Kern’s works are pure without any unnecessary decorationsB. Kern’s works will be better with more colors and decorationsC. Kern’s works always present sadness and other bad emotionsD. Kern’s works are looked down upon by criticsBMy friend Jessie and I have known each other since we were very young. Friendships get more precious as we get older, and when we reached our forties, we decided we needed to put in a little more work to keep our friendship strong, healthy and growing. We pick out one Saturday a month and promise to do something together. Sometimes we have a long lunch out. Other times we go to see a movie or shopping. But at least once a quarter, we have an adventure.In some adventures we drove to our favorite places. In other adventures we spent a night in a place sharing a festival like Christmas or sometimes we just drove, stopping wherever we wanted. We have headed out of the state to Tennessee. We have tried out new restaurants and new shops.One of our adventures took us to a very small town in south Georgia. It was one of those watermelon or cotton or peanut festivals, and we enjoyed buying the handmade gifts and eating the terrific foods. The most impressive was a parade(游行), with local school marching bands and service groups. We joined the parade and began smiling and waving! Everyone smiled and waved back! Of course, their smiling faces turned confused and puzzled as we passed in our car. “Who are these women?” they must have wondered. Finally, we turned a corner and a serious-looking policeman directed us back to the highway. We really had a great day!Fun is always on the menu, whether it’s a weekend trip or a couple of hours over lunch. We talk and have influence on each other’s life. We sha re our struggles and our happiness. We ask for and receive advice. And we laugh!Don’t keep promising yourself that “someday soon” you will get together with them. Do it now. Pick up your phone and make a plan for this weekend. You need it. Your friend ne eds it. You’ll be a happier, healthier person for it!25. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A.

Keeping our friendship strong and healthyC. Having lunch out with a friendD. Getting together once in a quarterCThe SAT is one of two major tests for the entrance to American colleges and universities. The othertest is called the ACT. More than 2 million students take the SAT yearly, including about 100,000 foreign students. The organization of the SAT will change the entrance test in 2016. The College Board announced that the new SAT will no longer test students on rarely used words. But it will include passages from American historical documents or from writings on freedom and human rights.The College Board says words on the new test will be related to usage. Students will be asked to tell the meaning of words according to the context of the reading passages. Nigerian student Peace Umoru is in her first year at Howard University. She says the rarely used words are the hardest part for international students. The new test will be easier because of the reform(改革).Eddie West is with the College Board. He says the new test will better predict a student’s performance in college. The changes are moving the test in a positive direction. The new SAT pays more attention to skills and abilities that students need to succeed. The addition of material about American historical documents could make the test harder for international students. After all, they live in different countries with different cultures. But it’s a good chance for them to understand the Declaration of Independence (《独立宣言》) or Martin Luther King’s work, or anything else that might be tested.Students from other countries, particularly those who did not grow up learning English, may feel it is more difficult. For them, the test is in a foreign language. But the College Board says it has formed a free, online educational service. Khan Academy will provide preparation material linked to the newly designed SAT.29. What will be removed from the new SAT?A. Words that are often used.B. Words that are seldom used.C. Passages about human rights.D. Material about American historical documents.30. What will be tested in the new SAT?A. All the different meanings of a word.B. The rare usage of the common words.C. The difficult words for foreign students.D. The proper meaning of the words in the passages.31. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. Eddie West is against the changes to the SAT.B. The SAT is an entrance test just for foreign students.C. The SAT is the only entrance test to American colleges.D. The foreign students should make great efforts to pass the SAT.32. What’s the main idea of the text?A. How to prepare for the new SAT.B. The SAT will change the entrance test in 2016.C. Advice for foreign students on passing the SAT.D. Tests for entrance to American colleges and universities.DThousands of jobs come into our Job Center and Employment Office every week, but they get snapped up quickly.

AThe house was quiet at 5 am and Tim’s mother was asleep. Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet. He’d dreamt of the cave last night. The purring (轻微哆嗦声) of the freezer had been the sea.Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. He’d eat after he’d been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea. He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches-but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she' d want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table: Gone to Michael’s. Back tonight, Tim.The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn't up. Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet.The sand hills still breathed heat from yesterday’s sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves.The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world.Over the first rocks, along to the point, Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky.He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He needn't go in all the way...21. What did Tim do at the beginning of the story?A. He put a sweater in his schoolbag.B. He had breakfast at home.C. He left a note on the freezer.D. He left the house quietly.22. What made it possible for Tim to see the entry to the cave?A. The height of the first rocks.B. The change in the position of the sun.C. The ups and downs of the waves.D. The vast stretch of the sunlit beach.23. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the story?A. Tim was the only person on the beach.B. Seabirds flew away when Tim arrived.C. The sea looked like a piece of gold.D. The sky got dark as Tim reached the cave.24. In the story, Tim’s mood changed from_________.A. loneliness to crazinessB. anxiousness to excitementC. eagerness to nervousnessD. helplessness to happinessBYou may know your mother, but how well do you really know Mother’s Day? Cards, flowers, sales, TV specials, and a day off for someone who really deserves (应得) it ---- those are what probably come to mi nd for many people when they think of Mother’s Day. But there’s more to the story.The earliest Mother’s Day celebrations were held during spring in ancient Greece. The celebrations honored Rhea, the Mother of the gods. During the 1600’s, England celebrated a day called Mothering Sunday. On this day even servants were given the day off to spend with their families.A mothering cake was even served with the family meal.In the US, Mother’s Day began in 1872 when Julia Ward Howe, who wrote the words to the famous song The Battle Hymn of the Republic, suggested it as a day devoted to peace. But it didn’t really become popular until 1907 when Anna Jarvis started a campaign to honor mothers. She believed that mothers could help people get over the pain they experienced during the Civil War. The US isn’t alone in devoting a day to mothers. Many other countries including Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, Japan, and Belgium also honor their mothers in May. Other countries honor their mothers at different times of the year.Learning more about Mother’s Day and celebrating Mother’s Day are important, but probably not as important as understanding what your own mother, or grandmother, or aunt has really done for you. And that will certainly be appreciated more than one day in a year.25. What is the passage mainly about?A. The reason why people celebrate Mother’s Day.B. The ways people honor mothers.C. The history of Mother’s Day.D. The contribution of mothers.26. Where was the earliest Mother’s Day celebrated?A. In ancient Greece.B. In the US.C. In England.D. In Italy.27. We can learn from the passage that _____.A. Rhea is the mother of a king in ancient GreeceB. all the countries don’t celebrate Mother’s Day in MayC. only mothers were given a day off on Mothering SundayD. it was in 1872 that Mother’s Day really came into being28. The last paragraph tells us that _____.A. all the people should celebrate Mother’s Day by doing something good to their mothers.B. only mothers are honored on Mother’s DayC. understanding mothers’ work is more important than just celebrating Mother’s DayD. people should celebrate Mother’s Day every dayCA warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium (钙)content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending(推荐) skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.29. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.A. started sleep more easilyB. were more anxiousC. were less activeD. woke up later30. Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?A. It’s been tested on mice for ten timesB. It can make people more energeticC. It exists in milk in great amountD. It’s used in sleeping drugs31. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Night Milk and SleepB. Fat Sugar and HealthC. An Experiment on MiceD. Milk Drinking and Health32. How does the author support the theme of the text?A. By giving examples.B. By stating arguments.C. By explaining statistical data.D. By providing research results.DA. In May 2016B. In May 2017C. In September 2017D. In September 201634. Who is more likely to get the job?A. Sam, English major, member of the college basketball teamB. Judy, IT staff with night classes, children’s basketball team coachC. Ted, computer major, basketball fan, free on evenings and weekendsD. Molly, part-time programmer, high school basketball player, new mother35. Whom should you contact if you want to apply for the job in Rockville?A. JorgeB. MichaelC. GauriD.

AMy first full-time job after high school was selling vacation packages via the telephone for a well-known company. One day, I was put through to a man who sounded a bit out of breath. I started with my normal pitch (音高), expecting to hear the normal reply —"I don’t want any."Instead, he spoke in a faint, weak voice and told me how he wished to take a vacation I was offering, but he couldn’t because he was dying of illness. He explained how he was lacking in oxygen then, and it took almost all his energy to answer the call. He asked if I smoked, which I did, and begged me to stop. He told me smoking was what was killing him. He told me to spend every day with my loved ones, and tell them how much I love them. At this point, I couldn’t control myself. We ended the call, but I held on my phone to prevent another call coming in so I could collect myself.I wrote down his name and address, and sent him a card appreciating his advice and praying for him and his family. Shortly after, I received a letter from Frank, along with a picture of him and his wife. We continued to write back and forth over the next few months, and became very fond of each other. He was old enough to be my grandfather, and in many ways, I felt as if he was.About a year later I received a letter from his wife. When I started to read, tears came to my eyes. She told me how Frank’s battle with the disease had finally come to an end, and he passed away shortly before the Christmas. She wanted to thank me for the letters to Frank, and explained how Frank touched many lives over the years. At his funeral, to show just that, they read the 1st letter I had written to Frank to show how he affected a 19-year-old he’d never met. 21. The author was then probably working for ______.A. a travel agencyB. a cigarette companyC. an e-shopping storeD. a vacation school22.The underlined part "collect myself" in the second paragraph probably means "_______". A. gather together B. comfort myselfC. relax myselfD. calm down23. We can learn from the text that the author ________.A. took down Frank’s name and address to visit him in personB. was warmly welcomed by her customers when she called themC. didn’t stop smoki ng even though Frank asked him toD. kept in touch with Frank through letters until he died24.At Frank’s funeral the author’s 1st letter to Frank was read in order to ____.A. encourage people to fight against disease and live bravelyB. indicate that Fra nk touched many people’s heartsC. show the good relationship between Frank and the authorD. praise Frank and give thanks to the authorBShakespeare,more perhaps than any other writer,made full use of the greatest resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twentyfive thousand! There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it. Such a study is well worth the effort, even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare's day.However, it is surprising that we should know comparatively (相对地) little about the life of the greatest English author. We know that Shakespeare was born in 1564 in StratfordonAvon,and that he died there in 1616. He almost certainly attended the grammar school in the town,but of this we cannot be sure. We know that he was married there in 1582 to Anne Hathaway and that he had three children. We know that he spent much of his life in London writing his masterpieces. But this is almost all that we do know.However, what is important about Shakespeare's life is not its details but its products, the plays and the poems. For many years scholars have been trying to add a few facts about Shakespeare's life to the small number we already possess and for an equally long time critics (批评) have been theorizing (理论化) about the plays. Sometimes,indeed,it seems that the poetry of Shakespeare will disappear under the great mass of comment that has been written upon it.Fortunately, this is not likely to happen. Shakespeare’s people have long delighted not just the English but lovers of literature everywhere, and will continue to do so after the scholars and critics and all their works have been forgotten.25.What's Paragraph 1 mainly about?A.The great varieties in writing styles.B.The great length of Shakespeare's works.C.The richness of the content in Shakespeare's works.D.The rich English language used by Shakespeare in his works.26.According to the passage,which of the following remains uncertain about Shakespeare? A.His date of birth. B.His marriage.C.His life in the grammar school. D.His date of death.27.What does the last sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?A.People don't think the poetry of Shakespeare good any more.B.People pay more attention to the comment than the poetry of Shakespeare.C.People can't read the poetry of Shakespeare any more.D.The comment is printed on the poetry of Shakespeare.28.“Shakespeare's people”in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.A.the characters in Shakespeare's worksB.the people living in Shakespeare's dayC.the readers of Shakespeare's worksD.the people whose native language is EnglishCThe English test will be removed from China’s college entrance exam by 2020, according to the Min istry of Education. The national college entrance exam, known as the “Gaokao” has been used to evaluate Chinese students for three decades. The Ministry of Education has worked out a plan for reforming exams and enrollment. Tests will be held several times a year to allow students to choose when and how often they sit the exam so as to reduce study pressure and change China’s once-in-a-lifetime exam system.The decision has aroused a heated discussion among Shanghai educators and parents who doubted whether the reform would reduce the burden of learning English or if the substitute test could reflect a student’s English skills and help students learn English better.“As far as I see, the reform doesn’t mean English is no longer important for Chinese students after it is excluded from the unified college entrance exam,” Yu said. “In a way, English is even more important than before since the test would only serve as reference, while every college and university, even every major, can have different requirement s of a student’s English skills under a diverse evaluation system.”Yu said some students will have their study pressure reduced if the major they choose doesn’t need excellent English while others still need to study hard if they want to be among the best students.The education ministry said the reform would not affect students attending the college entrance exam over the next three years.29.What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. English will become less and less important in the stage of compulsory education.B. It has been 30 years since English became one subject of national college entrance exam.C. China’s once-in-a-lifetime exam system is unacceptable at all.D. The system that tests are held several times does more good than once-in-a-lifetime exam system.30.According to the passage, Shanghai educators and parents argue that _____.A. the new exam and admission system will make no differenceB. English shouldn’t be removed from China’s college entrance examC. the reform may accomplish the very oppositeD. Western educational system does not apply to China31.What does the passage try to express in the underlined sentence?A. Students needn’t lay a good foundation during the period of high school.B. Whether students should study English hard may depend on their major.C. Students can constantly strive for perfection only in their major.D. English must be close to full mark.32.What’s the purpose of the passage?A. To advise students not to devote themselves to English.B. To call on Education Department to remove English from “Gaokao”.C. To support the act of Ministry of Education.D. To encourage students to do as they have planned.DAll around the world,people are playing basketball. Today, basketball is regarded as one of the alltime most popular sports worldwide. Basketball matches are played out between players of all age groups from little five and sixyearolds to adults of all ages and levels. Sports networks around the world,on any given day,will report on professional basketball tournaments around the world and broadcast local and international games.Basketball continues to grow in popularity, because it is a relatively cheap game to get into,which can be played indoors and outdoors, in summer and winter, by girls or boys, men or women,anywhere in the world.Americans have been playing basketball professionally since 1896, but today, there are up to 300 million people playing basketball all around the entire globe. In fact, these days, American basketball teams even get foreign players into their teams.According to , basketball didn't evolve(演变)from any old game, but was invented by a man called Dr.James Naismith, in 1891,so that his college students could keep fit in winter. In fact, that's how college basketball began! The game was played with a soccer ball at the beginning. Then a brown ball was designed. The orange like ball that we know today was designed in the late 1950s.From American college basketball to professional league, basketball first evolved into an international sport in 1932 and became an Olympic sport in 1936. Since then, its popularity worldwide has grown rapidly.33.Basketball became popular because ________.A.it is the best way to keep fit B.it is easy to get intoC.it is the Olympic sport D.it is a new sport34.Dr.James Naismith invented basketball ____________.A.to earn money B.to keep people healthyC.to become famous D.to save money35.In this passage,the author is describing ____________.A.the reason why people like basketballB.the reason why Americans like basketballC.the short history of basketballD.the changes of basketball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。
辽宁省实验中学分校2015-2016学年度上学期阶段性测试英语学科高三年级第一部分(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。
AI find it humorous sometimes that even the most ordinary incidents can have an impact on our awareness.My wife, daughter, and I moved into our home nine years ago and we spent a lot of time and energy in the yard to get it looking like it does today. We live on a corner, higher than street level, and the entire side of the yard is surrounded by a professionally built rock wall. The front of the house though is another story because instead of a wall along the sidewalk, the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish.We did the best we could with what we had to work with and called this area our “rock garden”. Whenever we had leftover flowers or plants, Denise or I would stick them out front, just to bring some color to the area.Last summer I had reached the end of the rock garden and found a tiny little plant that I could not immediately identify. I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise claimed that she didn’t either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could figure out what it was.Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the mystery plant, it appeared to be a Sunflower. It had a tall skinny stalk (茎) and only one head on it. I decided to baby it along and weed around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The Sunflower had not started where I saw the stalk begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.That’s when I realized that if a tiny little Sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability to do the same thing. We believe in ourselves like that little Sunflower, we can attain the same food and nutrition as well.Stand tall like the Sunflower and be proud of who and what you are and the environment will begin to support you. You will find a way to go under or around your big obstacle(障碍) in order to reach your desires.21. We can know from the second paragraph that _________.A. the author finished building his home hurriedlyB. it took the author 9 years to make the yard beautifulC. the author’s home was made of rock wallsD. the author’s family have lived in this home for 9 years22. Why did the author and his wife decide to let the tiny little plant grow?A. Because they were interested in every little plant.B. Because they wanted to discover what it was.C. Because they wanted to use it to make the yard colorful.D. Because they were touched by its strong will.23. What does the underlined phrase “baby it along” mean?A. make shelter for itB. leave it aloneC. take good care of itD. put it elsewhere24. What can be inferred from this passage?A. Human beings are able to remove obstacles.B. The universal truth made the Sunflower survive.C. A big rock blocked out the sunlight of the Sunflower.D. We can achieve success as long as we are self-confident.BEducating girls quite possibly outputs a higher rate of return than any other investment (投资) available in the developing world. Women’s education may be an unusual field for economists, but raising women’s contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social problem. And economics, with its emphasis on motivation, provides an explanation for why so many girls can’t receive education.Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else’s family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school — the prediction becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle (恶性循环) of lack of attention.An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a good circle.Few will disagree with it that educating women has great social benefits. But it has huge economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each extra year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has an important influence on health practices, including family planning.25. The author argues that educating girls in developing countries is ________.A. troublesomeB. rewardingC. labor-savingD. expensive26. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Girls will really make a less economic contribution to the family.B. Girls will be capable of realizing their own dreams.C. Girls will eventually receive the same education as boys.D. Girls will be increasingly dissatisfied with their life at home.27. The author believes that a vicious circle can turn into a good one when ________.A. women care more about educationB. girls can gain equal access to educationC. a family has fewer but healthier childrenD. parents can afford their dau ghters’ education28. The passage mainly discusses ________.A. unequal treatment of boys and girls in developing countriesB. the potential earning power of well-educated womenC. the major contributions of educated women to societyD. the economic and social benefits of educating womenCWhen should people be made to retire? 55? 65? Should there be a compulsory age limit?Many old people work well into their 70s and 80s, running families, countries or corporations. Other people, however, despite being fit and highly talented, are forced to retire in their fifties or even earlier because of the regulations of a company or the nation. This essay will examine whether people should be allowed to continue working as long as they want or whether they should be encouraged to retire at a particular stage.Some people think there are several arguments for allowing older people to continue working as long as they are able. First of all, older employees have an immense amount of knowledge and experience which can be lost to a business or organization if they are made to retire. A second point is that older employees are often extremely loyal employees and are more willing to carry out company policies than younger less committed staff. However, a more important point is regarding the attitudes in society to old people. To force someone to resign or retire at 60 indicates that the society does not value the input of these people and that effectively their useful life is over. Age is irrelevant to a working life, surely if older employees are told they cannot work after 60, this is age discrimination. That they become old does not necessarily mean they are going to be sick. Old people could be more aware, experienced and committed than some youngsters.Others, however, think that allowing older people to work indefinitely is not a good policy. Age alone is no guarantee of ability. Old people are only ambitious workaholics who are too selfish and self-centered to believe that a younger person could do better. Actually, many younger employees have more experience or skills than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area or unit for most of their working lives. Having compulsory retirement allows new ideas in an organization. In addition, without age limits, however, many people would continue to work purely because they did not have any other plans or roles. A third point of view is that older people should be rewarded by society for their life’s labor by being given generous pensions and the freedom to enjoy their leisure. We now have youngsters who can’t find jobsbecause old people are choosing not to retire. Old people are not retiring because this new generation of “old people” think they will never die due to modern advances in medicine.With many young people unemployed or frustrated in low-level positions, there are often calls to compulsorily retire older workers. However, this can affect the older individual’s freedom and right to work and can deprive(剥夺) society of valuable experience and insights. I feel that giving workers more flexibility and choice over their retirement age will benefit society and the individual.29.What is the purpose of this passage?A. To explain the compulsory age limit.B. To discuss the retirement age.C. To e xamine people’s working life.D. To introduce a particular stage.30.Which of the following is NOT a reason for allowing old people to continue working according to the passage?A. Their contribution should be valued.B. Their experience should be made use of.C. They can help the youngsters.D. They are loyal employees.31.It can be inferred in the fourth passage that ______.A. The young people have more creative spiritsB. Modern advances in medicine make old people never dieC. Pensions and freedom are not given to the old nowD. Old people believe that a younger person could do better32.The passage is arranged as follows:D.DThe China Daily newspaper group is looking for Englishlanguage senior business editors, senior copy editors, copy editors and graphic designers to strengthen its international team.

AMr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route——through the boot(行李箱).Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent, after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said, “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.”His hands and arms cut and bruised,Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Trembling in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.21. In which section of a newspaper can we read this article?A. Book reviewB. News reportC. Campus lifeD. Continued story22.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 “Finally it gave” means that ______.A. luckily the door was torn away in the endB. at last the wrench went brokenC. the lock came open after all his effortsD. the chance was lost at the last minute23. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. the ditch was along a quiet country roadB. the accident happened on a clear warm dayC. the police helped Mr. Johnson get out of the ditchD. Mr. Johnson had a tender wife and was well attendedBCheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it's not fair to other people,like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game. Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test--unless the person cheats again.Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can't pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, c heating isn’t a good idea.If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn't study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don't have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.A kid w ho thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better t han cheating.24. The author thinks that when kids cheat in class,A. it is unfair to other peopleB. it does harm to their heathC. teachers should punish themD. teachers shouldn't stop them at once25. Some students like cheating mainly becauseA. the material in the test is very difficultB .they want to do better than the othersC. cheating can make hard things seem very easyD. they have little time to study their lessons26. We can learn from the passageA. cheaters are often thought highly ofB. people show no respect for those who cheatC. parents whose kids cheat are often in troubleD. kids cheat in the test because of swim practice27. In the passage those cheaters are advised toA. spend more time on school than on sportsB. find good solutions instead of cheatingC. try hard to be intelligent rather than lazyD. ask their classmates for good methods of studyCA Train Floating On AirA train that floats on ai r? It's not magic― it's magnets. And it's close to reality.In Virginia USA the fall of 2002, a train with no wheels traveled on air and carried college students across their campus. In Japan, a whisper-quiet railway engine hovered and raced at 350 miles per hour using magnets and electricity as the power. And in China, a magnet train line linked Shanghai with nearby Pudong Airport.These trains use magnetic levitation technology, “maglev” for short. They use the same rules as the magnets you pick up at home or school: opposite poles of magnets attract each other, and like poles repel each other.How does it work?Powerful magnets on the bottom of the train repel magnets on the track, which is actually just a magnet-filled guiding way. With a magnetic field of sufficient force, the train will go hovering on air, which seemed impossible to us in the past.When an electrical current is sent through the track, the train moves. Turn the current backwards and the train slows down.Maglev doesn't rely on the friction of wheels on track, so it can climb a much steeper hill than a traditional train. And it can travel easily in snow and ice, something that could bring normal trains to a screaming stop.28. This passage is about __________.A. maglevB. magnetsC. levitationD. electricity29. Which of the following is a repelling action?A. B. C. D.30. What can we learn from the text?A. A magnet-filled guiding way is formed inside a maglev train.B. Instead of electricity, magnets are used as the power of a maglev.C. Maglev trains can climb hills with the help of magnet wheels.D. Electric currents decide the movements of a maglev train.31. What is the difference between a maglev train and an ordinary train?A. A maglev train can climb mountains with out power while an ordinary one can’t.B. A maglev train can travel in college campus while an ordinary train is not allowed.C. Travelling without a track, a maglev train is safer and smoother than an ordinary one.D. Floating on a track, a maglev train is faster, qu ieter than an ordinary railway train.DWhile I was in 9th grade, I built a circuit for the traffic system of our city. After getting the first prize, I got this valuable advice from my father: “Do whatever interests you, and don’t let the work challenge you, but make sure you are challenging that work.”I have always preferred the projects which are challenging and related to real life problems. I clearly remember building a shipping program several years ago. I divided the whole project into several small sections. When I understood it clearly, I used mybrainstorming skill on it, and gave some basic ideas. Then I asked my professor for help before jumping into coding. At first, I did not know how to ask questions correctly and always asked the q uestion “How do I do it?” As I kept working and discussed with my professor, I became more comfortable and those “how”questions soon turned into “what if I do this and that” types of questions.It took me four days to write the code. The desire to solve the problem kept me sleepless all nights brainstorming in even greater details. Every time I saw my program running smoothly, I exploded with joy. I still remember the last day of my work. I was getting some problem and didn’t know what to do. At that moment, a man came in to clean. He has headphones, and he was dancing while cleaning the room. Seeing this, I burst out laughing. That moment calmed me. I regained energy and interest and started to work again, and soon I fixed the problem.My success in the project proved that breaking up a large problem into small parts could help find a possible solution. Discussing the problem with others was also very beneficial. Now I have gained the confidence to attempt any kind of project.32.According to the passage, the writer was interested in .A.developing traffic systems B.doing challenging projectsC.winning great prizes D.writing different codes33.The writer asked the question “how do I do it” at first because .A.he had no clear idea abo ut his program B.he was too shy to express himself C.he wanted to be understood easily D.he preferred this kind of question34.We learn from the passage that the writer’s shipping program .A.would benefit people a lot B.was done together with othersC.was difficult and needed patience D.cost much money and energy 35.What would be the best title of the passage?A.Do It Yourself B.No Pains, No GainsC.Learning with interest D.Practice Makes Perfect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。

从21题开始涂卡AI know what you’re thinking: pizza?For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have lastnight’s leftovers in the a.m. if you want to. I know lots of women who skip breakfast(不吃早饭), and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’thave time, others think they’re “saying” calor ies ,still others just don’t likebreakfast food . But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important whenyou’re trying to lose weight .“Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories wouldbe better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking, R.D,who developed the super-easyeating plan for this ye ar’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’sloaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece. Breakfast is one meal I nevermiss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eatingbreakfast keeps you from ov ereating later in the day. Researchers at the University ofSouthern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weightthan those who regularly have a morning meal. So eat something in the morning, anything.I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffeeor orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers – it may sound crazy, butif it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow.”I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it … you may save yourselfsome pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects. 21. The word “leftovers” in paragraph I probably means ______. A. food remaining after a meal B. things left undone C. meals made of vegetables D. pizza topped withfruit22. What can we infer from the text? A. Working women usually have breakfast in ahurry. B. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast. C. There are some easy waysof cooking a meal. D. Eating vegetables helps save energy.23. According to the lastparagraph, it is important to _______. A. eat something for breakfast B. be careful about what you eat C. heat up food before eating it D. eat calorie-controlled food24. The text is written m ainly for those _______. A. who go to work early B. who want to lose weightC. who stay up lateD. who eat before sleepBMONTREAL (Reuters) –Crossing the US-Canada border(边界)to go to church on a Sunday cost a US citizen $10,000 for breaking Washington’s strict new security(安全)rules.The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the Canadian border. Like the other half-dozen people of Township 15, crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert. The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church.There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between Canada and the US which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings. As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Canada, as usual. The US customs (海关)station in this area is closed on Sundays, so be just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May, following a tightening of border security. Two days later, Albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally(非法).Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces the people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint.Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a Sunday church since. “I feel like I’m living in a prison,” he said. 25.We learn from the text that Richard Albert is .A.an American living in Township 15B.a Canadian living in a Quebec villageC.a Canadian working in a customs stationD.an American working in a Canadian church26.Albert was fined because he .A.failed to obey traffic rules B.broke the American security rulesC.worked in St. Pamphile without a pass D.damaged the gate of the customs office27.The underlined word “detour” in paragraph 5 means .A.a drive through the town B.a race across the fieldsC.a roundabout way of travelling D.a journey in the mountain area28.What would be the best title for the text?A.A Cross-country Trip B.A Special Border PassC.An Unguarded Border D.An Expensive Church VisitCWelcome to Adventureland!Everyone loves Adventureland!

B.The Nature Park.C.The Future Tower. D.The Travel Parvilion.DTransportation and communication networks bring people together. Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers(障碍) to transportation and communication. In some countries, laws stop people from moving freely from place to place. Over the centuries, many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race, religion, or nationality. In the Middle Ages, for example, Jews were often forbidden to move about freely within certain cities. South Africa's government used to require black Africans to carry passes when they travel within the country. Some governments require all citizens to carry identification papers and to report to government officials whenever they move.Countries set up customs posts at their borders. Foreign travellers must go through a customs inspection before they are allowed to travel in the country. Usually travellers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas(签证). Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year. Others allow tourists to visit onlycertain areas of the country, or they may require that travellers be with an official guide at all times during their stay.Many of those barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication.When two governments disagree with each other on important matters, they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely. Countries often try to keep military or industrial information secret.Today, people have the ability to travel, to communicate, and to transport goods more quickly and easily than ever before. Natural barriers that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily. The barriers that people themselves make are not so easy to overcome. But in spite of all the different kinds of barriers, people continue to enjoy travel and the exchange of goods and ideas.32. The examples in paragraph 1 are used to tell the readers that _______A. people have been allowed to travel freely within the countryB. people have not been permitted to travel freely for various reasonsC. travellers have to carry special papers such as passports and visasD. customs posts are necessary at the borders of the countries33. Some governments limit the freedom of communication because___A. they intend to keep their national secrets unknown to othersB. they think such freedom will lead to warsC. they often disagree with each other on important mattersD. they want to show their authority over communication34. We may learn from the passage that _______A. people do not care about the removal of barriers between countriesB. people can not remove the obstacles made by themselvesC. man-made barriers are sometimes harder to overcome than natural onesD. barriers should be taken for granted as they always exist35. Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage?A. Barriers Made by PeopleB. Functions of CommunicationC. Restrictions on TransportationD.

ADouglas Florian teaches readers about bees in a new book of poems called UnBEElievables. In his latest book, each poem is paired with a colorful image that illustrates(图解) a different type of bee and its role in the group. Every page is full of fun and interesting facts about these social insects.TFK: When you brainstorm for a story, which comes first: the images or the poems?FLORIAN: Usually the poems come first. For a book of 21 poems, for example, I'll actually write about 50 poems first. Although I sometimes have images in my mind to go along with the words, I have to choose which ones I want to include in the book.TFK: Many of your books, including UnBEElievables, are about insects and animals. How did these become your favorite subjects?FLORIAN: There is so much humor in the animal world. People have a lot of knowledge about animals and ideas about animals that are fun to explore in writing. Animals are just so interesting. When I research, I find out so many new and amazing facts. The poem is often half written by the time I have done with my research. TFK: Why did you choose bees as the subject of your latest book?FLORIAN: I saw recently in the news that many bees are dying out. Scientists believe this to be caused by various diseases. I wanted to create awareness and learn more about bees after hearing this. So many of the fruits and vegetables we eat are dependent on pollination(授粉) by honeybees. If bees disappear, so will much of our food.TFK: Do you have a favorite bee?FLORIAN: One of my favorites is the poem and painting about the worker bees.I wanted the painting to be very playful and light. These bees have to work all day, and it's kind of like a factory. And even though these bees have to work very hard, they manage to smile.21. UnBEElievables is a book about .A、storiesB、imagesC、insectsD、fruits22. Why did Douglas Florian choose bees as the subject of his latest book?A、Because bees are easy to explore in writing.B、Because bees are going to die out.C、Because he has no idea about bees.D、Because he wants people to protect bees.23. Douglas Florian likes the worker bees best mainly because of their .A、hard workB、attitude towards workingC、dangerous situationD、great contributionBNonverbal (非语言的)CommunicationWhen you are in another country, it is important to know the language, but it is equally important to know how to communicate nonverbally. Before saying anything, people communicate nonverbally by making gestures. According to an investigation(调查),only 30 to 35 percent of our communication is verbal. When people don't know the language, the most common way to communicate is through gestures. However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.In the United States, for example, nodding yo ur head up and down means “yes”. In some parts of Greece and Turkey, however, this motion can mean “no”. In Southeast Asia, nodding your head is a polite way of saying “I've heard you.”In ancient Rome, when the emperor wanted to spare someone's life, he wouldput his thumb up. Today in the United States, when someone puts his/her thumb up, it means “Everything is all right.” However, in Sardinia and Greece, the gesture is insulting (侮辱)and should not be used there.In the United States, raising your clasped(握紧的) hands above your head means “I'm the champion” or “I'm the winner”. It is the sign that prizefighters make when they win a fight. When a leading Russian statesman(政治家) made this gesture after a White House meeting, Americans misunderstood and thought he meant he was a winner. In Russia, however, it is a sign of friendship.There are other nonverbal signals that people should be aware of when they go to another country, such as the distance to maintain between speakers. Americans stand closer to each other than English people. English people don't like touching somebody or being touched. Now in America, touch is important. For example friends touch each other on the arm. They often put an arm around a friend when they say “hello” or “goodbye”.24. It is very important to know how to communicate nonverbally when you are in anothercountry because .A、most people speak different languagesB、it's easy to learn how to express oneself through gesturesC、people always make gestures before saying anythingD、much of our communication is nonverbal on many occasions25. If a native in Singapore nods his head up and down when you talk to him, hismotion means .A、yesB、I've heard youC、that's all rightD、no26. When the Russian leader put up his clasped hands after the meeting at the WhiteHouse .A、he made a show of friendship to AmericaB、he was insulting AmericaC、he meant Russia was the winnerD、he in fact meant nothing at all27. The gesture of putting one's thumb up should not be used when you are travellingin .A、GreeceB、the United StatesC、ChinaD、Southeast AsiaCJane was running late. Jane, 25, had a lot to do at work, plus visitorson the way: her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown. But asshe hurried down the subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortably warm. By the time she got to the platform, Jane felt weak and tired---maybe it hadn't been a good idea to give blood the night before, she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the tracks.Several yards away, Tom, 43, and his girlfriend, Jennifer, found a spot closeto where the front of the train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.But when he heard the scream, followed by someone yelling, "Oh, my God, shefell in!" Tom didn't hesitate. He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet towardthe body lying on the rails. "No! Not you!" his girlfriend screamed after him.She was right to be alarmed. By the time Tom reached Jane, he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds from the station.It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the grins and dragher away from the edge. That was where Jane briefly regained consciousness, felt herself being pulled along the ground, and saw someone else holding her purse.Jane thought she'd been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirtto help stop the blood pouring from her head. And she tried to talk but she couldn't,and that was when she realized how much pain she was in.Police and fire officials soon arrived, and Tom told the story to an officer. Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40-minute train ride downtown-just ashe had been seconds after the rescue, which made her think about her reaction at the time. "I saw the train coming and I was thinking he was going to die," she explained.28. Why did Jennifer try to stop her boyfriend?A、Because they would miss their train.B、Because she was afraid the train would kill him.C、Because she was sure Jane was hard to lift.D、Because he didn't see the train coming.29. How did Tom save Jane?A、By pulling her along the ground.B、By helping her rise to her feet.C、By lifting her to the platform.D、By dragging her away from the edge.30. When did Jane become conscious again?A、When the train was leaving.B、When a man was cleaning the blood from her head.C、After the police and fire officials came.D、After she was back on the platform.31. The passage is intended to _____.A、tell us about a subway rescueB、show us how to save people in the subwayC、warn us of the danger in the subwayD、report a traffic accidentDHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2has set new nationwide and global box-office records for ticket sales in its opening weekend. The final part of the Harry Potter series is creating the perfect storm of record-breaking box-office sales. Before this movie, The Dark Knight held the opening weekend record. The Dark Knight actually sold a few more tickets. But with 3D and IMAX ticketing as well as the passion of fans who have waited for a long time to see the ending of J.K. Rowling’s brilliant story, the final Harry Potter movie was going to be hugely successful, no matter what.And as if film-makers were magically able to save the best for last, critics(评论家) completely agree that The Deathly Hallows, Part 2is the best film of the entire series and there has been little negative(负面的) to say about the performances of the film’s stars. When they were 10 or 11 years old, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watsonand Rupert Grint have grown up on the big screen. They grew in their character as the story was told through the years.As the story draws to a close, the final Harry Potter film is set to break the $1 billion mark in worldwide sales. And even though the film series is finally over, J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter will live on in different forms of merchandising (附带产品), including major theme parks, action figures and almost certainly, various versions of the story.32. According to the author, we know Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part2________.A、is not as good as the first several Harry Potter moviesB、was poorly received by most of the movie critics in the USC、was expected to be very successful in making moneyD、is not as good as movie-goers expected33. What is implied about the performances of the film's stars?A、The performances are disappointing.B、The stars did much better before.C、The stars haven't made a breakthrough.D、The stars have done a very good job.34. In which part of a newspaper would you most probably read this passage?A、Lifestyle.B、Education.C、Entertainment.D、Kids.35. What would be the best title for this passage?A、The Harry Potter movies come to an end at last.B、The Last Harry Potter movie makes movie-goers sad.C、The Last Harry Potter movie comes in 3D and IMAX.D、The Last Harry Potter movie sets new box-office records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。

I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving dinner when the doorbell rang. I opened the gate and saw two little children in rags trembling on the top step.“Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them.I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow.“Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”“Am I rich? Pity, no!”I looked at my poor slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.I tasted the potatoes and stirred(搅动)the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room.

Depression. Serious depression requires professional treatment.Self-induced depression is something each of us can change.Everyone’s circumstances are different,but the causes of self-induced depression are common: low self-esteem,hurtful thinking and a bad attitude.So how can we change the way we think, feel, and have a cheerful attitude?First we must look at ourselves,truly and honestly examining our motives for what we wish to accomplish.If you are dissatisfied because you feel you haven’t or can’t do anything,then one step is needed—to set goals.Always start your goals relatively small and easy to attain.Think of them as sand; one grain may be insignificant but as a group they form the beach.Once you have set and attained smallgoals for yourself,move on to slightly larger,more challenging goals.It takes more than just setting goals to be happy.It takes positive thinking.How can we attain this?There are a number of factors that can make us think negatively and one of those is diet.In my opinion,a person who eats a lot of take-out and fast food is feeding their body junk.Start by eating better foods which give the body much NEEDED minerals.If your physical body is happy,it’s much easier for your mental body or “thinking ability” to be happy.Next,exercise.Half an hour a day is recommended for positive well being.Then think about good memories you had,or generally think of things that make you smile.Remember,everything you wear costs money but to wear a smile is free.A smile can be the difference between an average day and a great day.If you follow these steps,positive change is on the way.33.Which of the statements about depression is TRUE?A.Depression is a kind of illness that can’t be cured like some cancer.B.Depression can all be cured successfully by doctors in an easy way.C.Those who suffer from depression live in the same circumstances.D.Those who suffer from depression hold negative attitudes.34.According to the passage we can learn that ____________.A.a practical goal can help people to achieve a sense of successB.we shouldn’t be satisfied with small goals that are insignificantC.we should avoid challenging goals that may lead to failureD.people can enjoy happiness even if they set inappropriate goals35.What can we infer from the reading passage?A.Those who can achieve small goals can surely achieve big ones.B.Depression has something to do with the food people eat.C.You can only exercise half an hour if you want to get rid of depression.D.Smile makes no sense to the feeling in daily life.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。

Black Americans, who sang and played the music of their homeland, created jazz.Jazz is a mixture of the music of Africa, the work songs the slaves sang, and religious music. Improvisation is an important part of jazz. This means that the musicians make the music up as they go along, or create the music on the spot. This is why a jazz song might sound a little different each time it is played.Jazz bands formed in the late 1800s.They played in bars and clubs in many towns and cities of the South, especially New Orleans.

He also mentioned the case of an employee who became very expert at hiding his lack of literacy by getting his wife to write his reports for him.

That happens more than we like to admit, which is why it’s important to separate yourself from a situation long enough to think clearly without having people hanging over your shoulders.Remind yourself that you’re not aloneRegardless of who or what you depend on,you need to remind yourself that youwho may share the same feelings as you do.

ADouglas Florian teaches readers about bees in a new book of poems called UnBEElievables. In his latest book, each poem is paired with a colorful image that illustrates(图解) a different type of bee and its role in the group. Every page is full of fun and interesting facts about these social insects.TFK: When you brainstorm for a story, which comes first: the images or the poems?FLORIAN: Usually the poems come first. For a book of 21 poems, for example, I'll actually write about 50 poems first. Although I sometimes have images in my mind to go along with the words, I have to choose which ones I want to include in the book.TFK: Many of your books, including UnBEElievables, are about insects and animals. How did these become your favorite subjects?FLORIAN: There is so much humor in the animal world. People have a lot of knowledge about animals and ideas about animals that are fun to explore in writing. Animals are just so interesting. When I research, I find out so many new and amazing facts. The poem is often half written by the time I have done with my research. TFK: Why did you choose bees as the subject of your latest book?FLORIAN: I saw recently in the news that many bees are dying out. Scientists believe this to be caused by various diseases. I wanted to create awareness and learn more about bees after hearing this. So many of the fruits and vegetables we eat are dependent on pollination(授粉) by honeybees. If bees disappear, so will much of our food.TFK: Do you have a favorite bee?FLORIAN: One of my favorites is the poem and painting about the worker bees.I wanted the painting to be very playful and light. These bees have to work all day, and it's kind of like a factory. And even though these bees have to work very hard, they manage to smile.21. UnBEElievables is a book about .A、storiesB、imagesC、insectsD、fruits22. Why did Douglas Florian choose bees as the subject of his latest book?A、Because bees are easy to explore in writing.B、Because bees are going to die out.C、Because he has no idea about bees.D、Because he wants people to protect bees.23. Douglas Florian likes the worker bees best mainly because of their .A、hard workB、attitude towards workingC、dangerous situationD、great contributionBNonverbal (非语言的)CommunicationWhen you are in another country, it is important to know the language, but it is equally important to know how to communicate nonverbally. Before saying anything, people communicate nonverbally by making gestures. According to an investigation(调查),only 30 to 35 percent of our communication is verbal. When people don't know the language, the most common way to communicate is through gestures. However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.In the United States, for exampl e, nodding your head up and down means “yes”. In some parts of Greece and Turkey, however, this motion can mean “no”. In Southeast Asia, nodding your head is a polite way of saying “I've heard you.”In ancient Rome, when the emperor wanted to spare someone's life, he would put his thumb up. Today in the United States, when someone puts his/her thumb up, it means “Everything is all right.” However, in Sardinia and Greece, the gesture is insulting (侮辱)and should not be used there.In the United States, raising your clasped(握紧的) hands above your head means “I'm the champion” or “I'm the winner”. It is the sign that prizefighters make when they win a fight. When a leading Russian statesman(政治家) made this gesture after a White House meeting, Americans misunderstood and thought he meant he was a winner. In Russia, however, it is a sign of friendship.There are other nonverbal signals that people should be aware of when they go to another country, such as the distance to maintain between speakers. Americans stand closer to each other than English people. English people don't like touching somebody or being touched. Now in America, touch is important. For example friends touch each other on the arm. They often put an arm around a friend when they say “hello” or “goodbye”.24. It is very important to know how to communicate nonverbally when you are in anothercountry because .A、most people speak different languagesB、it's easy to learn how to express oneself through gesturesC、people always make gestures before saying anythingD、much of our communication is nonverbal on many occasions25. If a native in Singapore nods his head up and down when you talk to him, hismotion means .A、yesB、I've heard youC、that's all rightD、no26. When the Russian leader put up his clasped hands after the meeting at the WhiteHouse .A、he made a show of friendship to AmericaB、he was insulting AmericaC、he meant Russia was the winnerD、he in fact meant nothing at all27. The gesture of putting one's thumb up should not be used when you are travellingin .A、GreeceB、the United StatesC、ChinaD、Southeast AsiaCJane was running late. Jane, 25, had a lot to do at work, plus visitorson the way: her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown. But asshe hurried down the subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortably warm. By the time she got to the platform, Jane felt weak and tired---maybe it hadn't been a good idea to give blood the night before, she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the tracks.Several yards away, Tom, 43, and his girlfriend, Jennifer, found a spot closeto where the front of the train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.But when he heard the scream, followed by someone yelling, "Oh, my God, shefell in!" Tom didn't hesitate. He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet towardthe body lying on the rails. "No! Not you!" his girlfriend screamed after him.She was right to be alarmed. By the time Tom reached Jane, he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds from the station.It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the grins and dragher away from the edge. That was where Jane briefly regained consciousness, felt herself being pulled along the ground, and saw someone else holding her purse.Jane thought she'd been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirtto help stop the blood pouring from her head. And she tried to talk but she couldn't,and that was when she realized how much pain she was in.Police and fire officials soon arrived, and Tom told the story to an officer. Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40-minute train ride downtown-just ashe had been seconds after the rescue, which made her think about her reaction at the time. "I saw the train coming and I was thinking he was going to die," she explained.28. Why did Jennifer try to stop her boyfriend?A、Because they would miss their train.B、Because she was afraid the train would kill him.C、Because she was sure Jane was hard to lift.D、Because he didn't see the train coming.29. How did Tom save Jane?A、By pulling her along the ground.B、By helping her rise to her feet.C、By lifting her to the platform.D、By dragging her away from the edge.30.

The final part of the Harry Potter series is creating the perfect storm of record-breaking box-office sales. Before this movie, The Dark Knight held the opening weekend record. The Dark Knight actually sold a few more tickets. But with 3D and IMAX ticketing as well as the passion of fans who have waited for a long time to see the ending of J.K. Rowling’s brilliant story, the final Harry Potter movie was going to be hugely successful, no matter what.And as if film-makers were magically able to save the best for last, critics(评论家) completely agree that The Deathly Hallows, Part 2is the best film of the entire series and there has been little negative(负面的) to say about the performances ofthe film’s stars. When they were 10 or 11 years old, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint have grown up on the big screen. They grew in their character as the story was told through the years.As the story draws to a close, the final Harry Potter film is set to break the $1 billion mark in worldwide sales. And even though the film series is finally over, J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter will live on in different forms of merchandising (附带产品), including major theme parks, action figures and almost certainly, various versions of the story.32. According to the author, we know Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part2________.A、is not as good as the first several Harry Potter moviesB、was poorly received by most of the movie critics in the USC、was expected to be very successful in making moneyD、is not as good as movie-goers expected33.

In which part of a newspaper would you most probably read this passage?A、Lifestyle.B、Education.C、Entertainment.D、Kids.35. What would be the best title for this passage?A、The Harry Potter movies come to an end at last.B、The Last Harry Potter movie makes movie-goers sad.C、The Last Harry Potter movie comes in 3D and IMAX.D、The Last Harry Potter movie sets new box-office records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。

从21题开始涂卡AI recently read about a wonderful act of kindness. It is about the country singer, Jan Howard, and it happened in the mid 1950`s. We can read it in her autobiography(自传),“Sunshine and Shadow.〞 She suffered a lot with her three children, two of whom were still babies. She was forced to leave by her husband because he didn` t care about his family. At one point she suffered a nervous breakdown due to his cruel behavior.She took her children with her and decided to leave the home, but she didn` t know the destination. This took place in a small town in Kansas, called Frontenac. She had very little gas in the car and no money at all, so she couldn` t even manage to make it out of Frontenac. As she used up the gas she got into a panic. She then went towards a house, not knowing who the owner was. She “put her pride in her pocket〞and went to the door.When she explained her situation to the elder woman who answered the door, the woman and her husband helped Jan Howard carry the children into the house. They allowed her to stay for two weeks until she received some money by mail from a relative. They fed and cared for Jan Howard and her children in the two weeks. This was one of the most exciting acts of kindness I have ever come across in my fifty years. These “angels〞 were named Henry and Sarah; they will always be warmly remembered by me for what they did for Jan Howard and her children.I have even tried finding their children or grandchildren in Frontenac, but with no success. I just want to tell them what kind people I think Henry and Sarah are.21. Why did Jan Howard have to leave her home?A. She wanted to find a new job.B. She wanted to start her career.C.

Both of them were living a very different life and apparently loving every minute of it.The two child stars who acted in Slumdog Millionaire〔贫民窟的百万富翁),know the Indian slum well. It is where they` ve grown up, and it` s where they will return at the end of their Hollywood dream trip.To their surprise, the film won the first place. By that time, it was late morning in the children` s home city of Mumbai, where their family, friends and many fellow residents of the slum watched the results from Hollywood.“I don` t really know what the Oscar are,〞 Rubina` s mother said. “I` m just glad my daughter looks happy, though she told me she missed Indian food.〞The Oscar success of “slumdog〞 doesn` t show every aspect of their daily lives. The poverty and lack of opportunities are the central themes of the film.“our children lead a dog` s life,〞 Rubina` s mother said. She pointed out that rubbish was everywhere in the Indian slum and it was impossible for children to go to school.In a few days the two children will be back in Mumbai and back in the slums that are their home.

If you do, the chances are that you have a cold or perhaps flu--- but which one? Although both colds and flu are caused by viruses, they are very different illnesses.Colds, which usually last about a week, affect the nose most. They commonly cause a running nose and sneezing. Sometimes, they caused a headache, a cough and slightly aching muscles.Flu is a much serious illness and is caused by different group of viruses. People with flu usually get all the symptoms described above. However, they also get a high fever, a dry cough and much worse aching. Fever is one of the characteristic symptomsof the flu for all ages. The symptoms also last much longer. Sometimes they don’t disappear for at least two weeks.Flu can be a deadly disease. The elderly, who are weaker and less healthy than most younger people, can die from flu. This is one reason why old people are advise to have a flu injection〔预防针〕before the start of winter when flu is most common. This injection is inexpensive and definitely worth it.If you have a cold or flu, you must always deal with used tissues carefully. Don’t leave dirty tissues on your desk or on the floor.

AOne day an old woman was traveling alone in the mountains. Suddenly she saw something shining in the stream. When she came close, she found it was a precious stone. She put the stone into her bag and went on with her trip.The next day the old woman met a young man, who was also a traveler in the mountains. The young man looked very hungry, so the old woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked carefully, “The stone is beautiful. Would you like to give it to me?”“Sure. Why not?” the wo man said, and handed the stone to him.The young man left happily with the stone. He knew it was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the woman.“I’ve been thinking,” he said. “I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back and hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within your bag.”The woman opened her b ag. It was almost empty. She looked at the young man and smiled, “I have nothing special in my bag, but I do have something precious —the joy of giving!”The young man felt ashamed and left silently.21. How did the young man find the precious stone?A. He found it in his food.B. He dug it out in a valley.C. He saw it in the woman’s bag.D. He noticed it shining in the stream.22. What does the underlined word “security” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Money.B. Worry.C. Health.D. Trouble.23. The man returned the stone to the woman because ______.A. he found the stone was not preciousB. he understood the real meaning of joyC. he felt embarrassed at taking away the stoneD. he wanted to get something even more precious24. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. A special stoneB. The joy of givingC. A woman and a young manD. An experience in the mountainsBUsually, legends are stories of events from long ago. Urban legends, on the other hand, are stories in the recent past, perhaps even last week! Urban legends are that there are many different versions (版本) of the same story, with local information changed to make the story seem more real. Today, the Internet has become a common way for urban legends to spread very quickly.A good example of an urban legend is th e story of the girl who was killed by her jeans. In the 1980s, it was popular to wear very tight jeans. At that time, Levi’s sold special jeans that shrank (缩水) when you washed them. According to the story, a girl wanted to make her jean as tight as possible, so she wore them in the water. Unluckily, they shrank so much that the girl died. In fact, this legend came from a Levi’s advertisement on TV. In the TV ad, a man stepped into the water and his tight jeans became the right size.However, some stories that sound like urban legends really come from real events. For example, there is a story about muggers (抢劫者) using snakes to rob people. There have been real reports about this. The muggers hold a snake in a person’s face and then take the person’s money. According to the legend, these muggers are very common, so you should keep an eye out for strangers carrying snakes.25. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. It tells readers some surprising stories.B. It tells readers what urban legends are.C. It tells readers how to make up urban legends.D. It tells readers a TV ad.26. The passage tells us that urban legends ______.A. usually take place in the country, or in small townsB. have the same version in different placesC. none of them come from real eventsD. are immediately known because of the Internet27. What happened to the girl in the jeans story?A. She shrank.B. She played a part in a TV ad.C. Her jeans became too small.D. A man stepped into the water, too.28. Which story in the passage really happened?A. The dog in the microwave.B. The dead man in the office.C. The girl killed by her jeans.D. The muggers using snakes.CFor many people in the US, sports are not just for fun. They’re almost a “religion”.Thousands of sports fans buy expensive tickets to watch their favorite teams and athletes play in person. Other fans watch the games at home,sticking to their TV sets,never missing a game. Many a wife becomes a “sports widow” during her husband’s favorite season. Americans’ devotion to sports has created a new class of wealthy people:professional athletes. Sports stars often receive milliondollar salaries. Some even make big money by appearing in advertisements for soft drinks,shoes and almost everything.Sports are an important part of American culture. Throughout their school life,Americans learn to play many sports. Many students try out for the school teams. Athletic events at universities attract scores of fans and benefit the whole community. Many people also enjoy noncompetitive activities,like hiking,cycling,horseback riding,camping or hunting.Many sports were imported from other countries. Europeans brought tennis,golf,bowling and boxing to America. Football and baseball came from other Old World games. Only basketball has a truly American origin. Americans export sports fever as well. Satellites broadcast games to sports fans around the globe. NBA is a good example. The names of American superstars like basketball great Michael Jordan have become household words all over the world. 29.Many a wife becomes a “sports widow” in the US probably because________.A.they are serious in religion B.they are devoted to sportsC.their husbands stick to sports D.their husbands are missing30.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.The US sports stars can earn a large sum of money via the media.B.American students go in for various sports and athletic events.C.Lots of American people take part in noncompetitive activities.D.American people like to exchange different sports from each other.31.We can infer from the passage that________.A.all the Americans are sports fansB.sports culture influences the worldC.most Americans like competitionD.America has invented many sports32.The writer mainly intends to tell us________.A.how important sports are in AmericaB.where sports can help to make moneyC.why sports are so popular in AmericaD.what affect Americans’ everyday lifeDAn AnnouncementIt was a small town which lay by the coast. Most people there lived by catching fish. The hurricanes often struck the area from July to October. Some of the people died on the sea when their boats were blown over by the high winds. So they paid much attention to the weather forecasts. They were afraid to meet with the hurricanes when they were catching fish on the sea. Each of the families had a radio and people always took them with themselvesand listened to them at any time.It was September. A hurricane attacked the town one night. Plenty of trees were pushed over and all the e lectric and telephone lines were broken. People couldn’t watch TV, or call their friends, or go to work. To their anger, they couldn’t listen to the weather forecasts the Town Radio Station broadcast. The food and fresh water would soon be short and the pa tients couldn’t be given medical care—no medicine could be carried there. People didn’t know what would happen and they l ooked anxious.On the fourth day they read an announcement on the Town Weekly.
