He walked with his head down. Once he looked up and noticed the sign across the empty street, painted on the side of an old house. On the sign a big woman with yellow hair and a five-mile smile held out a big bottle. “Coca-Cola. Drink Coca-Cola.” the sign said.“Boy!” The silence was cut by a sudden cr y. He turned around quickly to see who had called.An old woman was standing at her door.“You boy! Come here this minute.”Slowly the boy 1 onto the cold flat stones leading to the old woman's house. When he arrived at her house,she 2 out her hand and wrapped her 3 old fingers around his arm.“Help me inside, boy,” she said. “Help me 4 to my bed. What's your name?”“Joseph,” he said.The old woman on the bed tried to 5 up, raising berselfon her elbow (肘) . Water 6 from her eyes and mouth. The sight of her made Joseph feel 7 .“I'm 8 , Joseph. You can see that, can't you? I want you to write a will(遗嘱) for me. There's paper and pencil on the table there.”Joseph looked down at the 9 , and then looked out of the window. He saw the sign again, “Coca-Cola. Drink Coca-Cola. I want my silver pin to 10 to my daughter."Joseph bent his small body over the table and 11 the pencil slowly across the paper.“There's my Bible.(圣经)”The old woman said. “That's for my daughter, too. I want a 12 Christian burial (基督葬礼) with lots of singing. Write that down, too. That's the last - 13 of a poor old woman.”The boy labored over the paper. Again he looked out of the window.“Here.

The best way of learning English is talking in English as much as possible. Sometimes you’ll get your words mixed up (混合) and people will not understand you. Sometimes people will say things too quickly and you can’t understand them. But if you keep your sense of humor (幽默感) you can always have a good laugh at the mistakes you make. Don’t be unhappy if people seem to be laughing at your mistakes. It’s better for people to laugh at your mistakes than to be angry with you, because they don’t understand what you are saying. The most important thing for learning English is: “Don’t be afraid of making mistakes because everyone makes mistakes.”【1】The writer thinks that the best way for you to learn a language is ____.A．writing B．using it C．listening D．learning grammar 【2】What should you do in learning English?A．Be careful not to make any mistake.B．Write as quickly as you can.C．Speak English as much as you can.D．Laugh more often.【3】When people laugh at your mistakes, you should _____．A．not care B．be happy C．feel worried D．be unhappy【4】The story tells us_______.A．only foolish people make mistakesB．few people make mistakesC．people never make mistakesD．there is no one who does not make mistakes【5】The writer of the text has a _______ attitude towards people’s mistakes while using the language. A．agreeable B．negative（否定的）C．neutral (中立的)D．humorous2.Today almost everyone knows computers and the Internet. If I ask you “What is the most important in yourlife ?” maybe you will say “Computers and the Internet.”The first computer was made in 1946. It was very big but it worked slowly . Today computers are getting smaller and smaller. But they work faster and faster. What can computers do?A writer has said, “people can’t live without computers today.”The Internet came a little later than computers. It is about twenty-five years later than computers. But now it can be found almost everywhere. We can use it to read books, write letters, do shopping, play games or make friends.Many students like the Internet very much. They often go into the Internet as soon as they are free. They make friends on the Intern et and maybe they have never seen these friends. They don’t know their real names, ages, and even sex (性别). They are so interested in making the “unreal friends” that they can’t put their hearts into study. Many of them can’t catch up with others on many s ubjects because of that.We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world. But at the same time, we should remember that not all the things can be done by computers and the Internet.【1】The Internet can not be used for ______.A．studying B．shopping C．thinking D．playing【2】When the computer was invented, it was ______.A．large and worked quickly1B．small and workedC．large but worked slowly.D．small but worked quickly .【3】The Internet was born in about _____.A．1960B．1970C．1980D．1985【4】Which of the following is true?A．Few students like going into the Internet.B．students use the Internet to make “unreal friends.”C．These “unreal friends” often meet each other.D．Students know the friends on the Internet very well.【5】What does the writer think of the Internet?A．It is wonderful.B．It can make students study harder.C．It is not good for students.D．It is helpful, but we can’t do everything on it.3.Many teenagers(青少年) feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for some ideas．It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something. These things are difficult to tell their family members.However, parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them. Some parents may even st op their children from meeting their good friends. Have you ever thought of the following questions?Who chooses your friends?Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you?Have you got a good friend your parents don’t like?Your answers are welcome.【1】Many teenagers think that ____ can understand them better.A．friends B．brothers C．sisters D．parents【2】When teenagers have something difficult to tell their parents, they usually____A．stay alone at homeB．fight with their parentsC．discuss it with their friendsD．go to their brothers and sisters for help【3】The sentence (句子) “Your answers are welcome．” means _______．A．You are welcome to discuss the questions with us.B．We have got no idea, so your answers are welcome.C．Your answers are always right.D．You can give us all the right answers.【4】Which of the following is the writer’s attitude(态度)?A．Parents should choose friends for their childrenB．Children should choose everything they likeC．Parents should understand their children betterD．Teenagers should only go to their friends for help【5】Part of the purpose of this passage is to ___.A．give information for the parents to make their own judgment (判断)B．give advice to children who want to choose their friendsC．help parents to find better friends for their childrenD．get some information from many readers4.All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy, happy and help them to live longer. Sports change with the season.People play different games in winter and summer. Games and sports often grow out of people’s work and everyday activities. The Arabs use horses or camels in much of their everyday life; they use them in their sports,too.Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers.Some sports or games go back to thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is a hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time．People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game they often become good friends. Sports help to train a person’s character(性格). One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace(体面).【1】According to this passage we know that ____.A．people began to play about one hundred years agoB．about 100 years ago people ran or jumped when they playedC．basketball has a longer history than volleyballD．not all the games have a long history【2】The writer di dn’t tell us in this passage that ____.A．basketball was invented in AmericaB．sports change with the seasonC．games and sports often grow out of people’s work and everyday activitiesD．football is played all over the world【3】People all over the world enjoy sports because ____ .A．sports are interestingB．sports help to keep people healthy , happy and to live longerC．sports help to train one’s characterD．all of the above【4】From this passage we can see that _____ .A．sports and games are unimportant things that people doB．sports and games should be treated only as amusement (娱乐活动)C．sports and games are only useful to the oldD．none of the above is true【5】What’s the writer’s attitude of the sports?A．positive B．negative C．neutral D．We have no idea.四、单词拼写单词拼写【1】We need ___________ (能量) to live.【2】Our government is paying more attention to ______（农业）development.【3】He lost his b_____ and fell over.【4】"You mustn’t leave the house without my p ."

AMy husband and I had just opened up a pet sitting business earlier that year. Our customers had slowly risen from three to thirty a month. We were busy through those hot summer months, driving between visits. Our services were strictly held at the pet owner’s home. It was almost too busy for the two of us, but we were making good money!We asked pet owners new to our services to phone two weeks ahead so we had enough time to meet the owners and pets at their homes and make any following meetings before the owner leaves.One day, we decided to take on a new customer just two days before they would leave. We met the family, filled in a form, and spent some time with their dog, Hercules. He playfully jumped on us and touched our hands and arms using his tongue. The family laughed as he did this, showing us that he was very loving.Two days later I appeared at the house, alone. I came up to Hercules and said hello happily. I filled up his water bowl and cleaned any messes he made. Meanwhile, he was so lovely sitting beside. I thought this would be the good picture to send to the owners, a usual service. After the light and “click” sound went off, Hercules rushed at me. I didn’t know what had just happened until I noticed the drops of blood. I ran out and did the only thing — calling my husband.Then I went to neighbors for help. My husband arrived after ten minutes. The helpful neighbor and my husband led Hercules back into his pen (圈). Then my husband and I took off to the hospital.I must have looked like I was shot when I walked into the hospital. The nurses quickly moved me to a room. I asked the doctor in a weak but playful manner, “ Am I going to die？” He replied, “Finally.”1.

The New York Times is popularC“Plants were expected to get larger with increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but changes in temperature, humidity and nutrient availability seem to have trumped the benefits of increased carbon dioxide,” said researchers from the National University of Singapore．45 percent of the species studied now reach smaller adult sizes than they did in the past. Theresearchers pointed out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats, caused by climate change, are possible reasons for shrinking creatures．“ We do not yet know the mechanisms involved, or why some organism are getting smaller while others are unaffected,” the researchers said．“Until we understand more, we could be riski ng negative consequences that we can' t yet quantify．”The change was big in cold - blooded animals．Only two decades of warmer temperatures were enough to make reptiles (爬行动物) smaller. An increase of 1 degree centigrade caused nearly a 10 percent increase in metabolism(新陈代谢). Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards. Fish are smaller now too. Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers, experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growth. There is a recent report on warmer temperatures' negative effects on plankton(浮游生物), the base of the marine ecosystem．Warm - blooded animals weren't immune from the size change caused by climate change．Many birds are now smaller. Mammals have been miniaturized too. Soay sheep are thinner. Red deer are weaker．And polar bears are smaller, compared with historical records．This is not the first time this has happened in Earth' s history．55 million years ago, a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees, spiders and ants to shrink by 50 to 75 percent over several thousand years．That event happened over a long time than the current climate change．The speed of modem climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough, especially those with long generation times．So, it is likely that more negative influences of climate change will be shown in future．8. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Why do some species become smaller?B. How does temperature change in Earth' s history?C. Climate change has many negative effects．D. Species become smaller as climate warms．9. The underlined word "trumped" in the first paragraph can be replaced by _________．A. beatenB. increasedC. strengthenedD. equaled10. Researchers from the National University of Singapore believe that _________．A. too many studies on animals' size have been done.B. all the animals on the earth have become smaller.C. how climate change effects animals' size has not been found clearly.D. climate change has more negative effects on warm-blooded animals.11. What can we learn from the passage?A. Bird have suffered more from climate change than fish．B. Climate change have even affected plankton negatively．C. Cold-blooded animals become smaller because of the lack of food.D. The warming event has never happened in Earth' s history before.DSeven years of careful design and planning all came together on Monday, when James Cameron became the first human to make a solo trip to the deepest known point on earth - the Challenger Deep! More importantly though, he appeared safely seven hours later, completing with exciting-photos and videos from this dark mysterious world that has been visited by only two humans before!Seated inside a specially built 12-ton green submersible (潜水器) called the Deep Sea Challenger, the brilliant filmmaker caught every moment of his 2-hour-36-minute journey down to the bottom of the Mariana Trench on video — given that it is 120 times larger than the Grand Canyon and a mile deeper than Mount Everest.Absolutely nothing! There were no large alien creatures or mysterious footprints — just a flat desolate (荒凉的) landscape, 50 times larger than the Grand Canyon. Mr. Cameron describes it as "devoid (缺乏) of sunlight, any heat, any warmth". The only things swimming around, were some tiny shrimp-like (虾状的) creatures no bigger than an inch.While the 57-year-old had expected to spend six hours at the bottom, he was forced to return in three hours, because the robotic arm that was supposed to help him collect samples went wrong and began leaking oil. He also lost some thrusters (推进器) and a whole starboard side, causing the submersible to spin around in circles.However, these small setbacks did not make the whole trip any less exciting for Mr. Cameron. The director, who returned to the surface in a speedy seventy minutes, believes this is just one of many trips he and other adventurers will be taking. In fact, Sir Richard Branson, the founder of the Virgin Group, is currently in the midst of planning a similar trip to the Puerto Rico Trench that lies five miles below the surface of the water. Though Mr. Cameron’s is promising to move his historic trip into an exciting 3-D National Geographic documentary, he is tight-lipped about howthe experience will be used in his next movie! We cannot wait to see!12. According to Paragraph one，we can know that _________.A. Cameron is the first man to the deepest known point on earthB. the trip had been well prepared in the past few yearsC. the trip lasted for about nine and a half hoursD. the pictures Cameron took are dark13. On the bottom of Challenger Deep, _________.A. there are some mysterious footprintsB. the landscape is not very largeC. there are many fishD. it is dark and cold14. Why did Mr. Cameron return earlier than planned?A. Because he finished all his tasks.B. Because he couldn't stand the environment.C. Because there was something wrong with his submersible.D. Because he was eager to show his photos and videos to others.15. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _________.A. many similar trips will be taken in the near futureB. the small setbacks had a great effect on Mr. CameronC. some people have known how Cameron's experience will be used in his next movieD. the trip to the Puerto Rico Trench is more dangerous and difficult than to the Mariana Trench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。

AWhen your parents advise you to “get an education” in order to raise your income, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower（人力资源）for your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you will be occupationally dead unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison, and you can successfully dropout in grade school.Get a college degree, if possible. With a B. A., you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master‟s degree, make sure it is an M.B.A., and the famous law of diminishing(逐渐减少的) returns begins to take effect.Do you know, for instance, that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Yes, the average salary for those truckers was $24000 while the full professors managed to earn just $23030.A doctorate is the highest degree you can get. Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, if you pursue such a degree in any other field, you will face a future which is not bright. There are more doctors unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of the world.If you become a doctor in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages or—worst of all—in philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands.Thousands of doctors are selling shoes, driving cars, waiting on table, and endlessly filling out applications month after month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater(闭塞) college that pays much less than the doorkeeper earns.You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough,that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.1. According to the writer, what the society expects of education is to turn out people who______.A. will not be a disgrace to societyB. will become loyal citizensC. can take care of themselvesD. can meet the nation‟s demand as a source of manpower2. Many doctors are out of job because ______.A. they are improperly educatedB. they are of little commercial value to their societyC. there are fewer jobs in high schoolsD. they prefer easier jobs that make more money3. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Bernard Shaw didn‟t finish high school, nor did Edison.B. One must think carefully before pursuing a master‟s degree.C. The higher your education level, the more money you will earn.D. If you are too well-educated, you‟ll be overeducated for society‟s demands.4. The writer sees education as ______.A. a means of providing job security and financial security and a means of meeting acountry‟s demands for technical workersB. a way to broaden one‟s horizonsC. more important than finding a jobD. an opportunity that everyone should haveBMy heart sank when the man at the immigration counter gestured to the back room. I was born and raised in America, and this was Miami, where I live, but they weren‟t quite ready to let me in yet.“Please wait in here, Ms. Abujaber,” the immigration officer said. My husband, with his very American last name, accompanied me. He was getting used to this. The same thing had happened recently in Canada when I‟d flown to Montreal to speak at a book event. That time they held me for 45 minutes. Today we were returning from a literary festival in Jamaica, and I was shock ed that I was being sent “in back” once again.The officer behind the counter called me up a nd said, “Miss, your name looks like the name of someone who‟s on our wanted list. We‟re going to have to check you out with Washington.”“How long will it take?”“Hard to say…a few minutes,” he said, “We‟ll call you when we‟re ready for you.” After an hour, Washington still hadn‟t decided anything about me.“Isn‟t this computerized?” I asked at the counter, “Can‟t you just look me up?”“Just a few more minutes,” they assured me.After an hour and a half, I pulled my cell phone out to call the friends I was supposed to meet that evening. An officer rushed over. “No phones!” he said, “For all we know you could be calling a terrorist cell and giving them information.”“I‟m just a university professor,” I said. My voice came out in a squeak.“Of course you are. And we take people like you out of here in leg irons every day.”I put my phone away.My husband and I were getting hungry and tired. Whole families had been brought into the waiting room, and the place was packed with excitable children, exhausted parents, and even a flight attendant.I wanted to scream, to jump on a chair and shout: “I‟m an American citizen; a novelist;I probably teach English literature to your children.”After two hours in detention (扣押), I was approached by one of t he officers. “You‟re free to go,”he said. No explanation or apologies. For a moment, neither of us moved. We were still in shock. Then we leaped to our feet.“Oh, one more thing,” h e handed me a tattered photocopy with an address on it, “If you are n‟t happy with your treatment, you can write to this agency.”“Will they respond?” I asked.“I don‟t know—I don‟t know of anyone who‟s ever written to them before.” Then he added,” By the way, this will probably keep happening each time you travel internati onally.”“What can I do to keep it from happening again?”He smiled the empty smile we‟d seen all day, “Absolutely nothing.”After telling several friends about our ordeal, probably the most frequent advice I‟ve heard in response is to change my name. Twenty years ago, my own graduate school writing professor advised me to write under a pen name so that publishers wouldn‟t stick me in what he called “the ethnic ghetto”—a separate, secondary shelf in the bookstore. But a name is an integral part of any one‟s personal and professional identity—just like the town you‟re born in and the place where you‟re raised.Like my father, I‟ll keep the name, but my airport experience has given me a whole new perspective on what diversity and tolerance are supposed to mean. I had no idea that being an American would ever be this hard.5. The author was held at the airport because ______.A. she and her husband returned from JamaicaB. her name was similar to a terrorist‟sC. she had been held in MontrealD. she had spoken at a book event6. She was not allowed to call her friends because ______.A. her identity hadn‟t been confirmed yetB. she had been held for only one hour and a halfC. there were other families in the waiting roomD. she couldn‟t use her own cell phone7. We learn from the passage that the author would ______ to prevent similar experiencefrom happening again.A. write to the agencyB. change her nameC. avoid traveling abroadD. do nothing8. Her experiences indicate that there still exists ______ in the US.A. hatredB. discriminationC. toleranceD. diversityCA person, like a commodity, needs packaging. But going too far is absolutely undesirable. A little exaggeration(夸张) will do no harm when it shows the person‟s unique qualities to their advantages. To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself. A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment so that the person so packaged is not a commodity, but a human being, lively and lovely.A young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted. Youth however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been, through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. Y ou have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self - satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make use of hair dyeing. The snow-capped mountain itself is a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the company of the elderly is like reading a thick book of good edition, which attracts one so much that one is unwilling to part with it. As long as one finds where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.9. The underlined word in the first paragraph is closest to the word ______ in meaning.A. decorationB. clarificationC. movementD. identification10. It can be concluded from the text that ______.A. people should be packaged at all agesB. people should be packaged in a special wayC. elderly people also care about packagingD. proper packaging makes people attractive11. For the middle-aged, attractiveness ______ .A. hardly existsB. is the strongestC. comes from the insideD. comes from the appearance12. According to the author, if you want to keep in harmony with nature, you should ______.A. dye your hairB. make up at a young ageC. follow the ageing processD. give up fame and wealthD“Enough” with the multivitamins already. That‟s the message from experts behind three new studies that tackled an often debated question: Do daily multivitamins make you healthier?“We believe that the case is closed - supplementing(补充) the diet of well-nourished adults with (most) mineral or vitamin supplements has no clear benefit and might even be harmful,” concluded the authors of the editorial summarizing the new research papers. They urge consumers to not …waste‟ their money on multivitamins. “The …stop wasting your money‟ means that perhaps you‟re spending money on things that won‟t protect you long term,” editorial co-author, Dr. Edgar Miller said, “What will pr otect you is if you spend the money on fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, low fat dairy, and things like that. Exercising would probably be a better use of the money.”The strong message was based on a review of the findings from three studies that tracked multivitamins link to cancer protection, heart health, and brain and cognitive(认知的) measures. The first study looked at vitamin supplementation‟s role in preventing chronic(慢性的) disease. The next study looked at whether long-term use of multivitamins would have any effect on slowing cognitive decline. The third study looked specifically at multivitamins and minerals role in preventing heart attack. “The three studies found no difference in rates of chronic disease, heart attack and the need for hospitalization between vitamin-takers and placebo(安慰剂)-takers.” Dr. Edgar Miller stated.One expert agreed some nutrient-deficient people may still benefit from multivitamins. “There might be an argument to continue taking a multi(vitamin) to replace or supplement your not healthy diet,” Dr. Edgar Miller added. He also notes that vitamins can benefit people with celiac disease and those who are pregnant.13. This text is likely to be selected from a book of .A. medicineB. educationC. foodD. business14. Which of the following is NOT Dr. Edgar Miller‟s opinion according to the passage?A. Vitamins should not be used for chronic disease prevention. Enough is enough.B. Having a balanced diet and exercising would probably be a better way to keep healthy.C. The three studies do not provide support for use of multivitamin supplements.D. Taking vitamins to replace or supplement your healthy diet is necessary.15. What can be inferred from the text?A. Vitamin supplements have proved harmful to the health of adults.B. Vitamin supplements are beneficial in certain conditions.C. Nowadays taking vitamin supplements is common to most people.D. Daily multivitamins will make you healthier.16. The author‟s purpose of writing the text is most likely to___________. .A. persuadeB. describeC. informD. instruct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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Ch oose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AAs we all know, it was Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Declara tion of Independence (《独立宣言》).He wrote it in two weeks, and after a few changes, it was accep ted by the Congress (国会). As a result, he became famous.Born in 1743 in Virginia, Thomas Jefferson, a wonderful student at school and almost talented(天才的 ) lawyer later, was much interested in politics.Jefferson was elected the Governor of Virginia in 1779, and he was sent to as the representative of the American government in 1784. Sixteen years later, at the age of 57, he was elected pr esident after Washington and Adams.Far from a handsome man, he was tall with long arms and big h ands. Jefferson, who was an amusing(令人愉快的) talker in conversation but a poor speaker, was generally go od-natured.Jefferson was regarded as a defender of freedom in . As a president, he protected the right of free speech. Interestingly enough, in his eight years as president, Jefferson never vetoed (否决) a bill which the Congress had passed. He did a lot in organi zing the new of .Thomas Jefferson died on July the fourth, 1826, the fiftieth anni versary of American Independence.56. From the passage we can infer that won its independence i n _______.A. 1786B. 1800C. 1842D. 177657. How old was Thomas Jefferson when he was elected Presi dent of the ?A. He was 47.B.

Jefferson’s greatest contribution in American history should be that ________.A. he did a lot in organizing the new of .B. he was strongly against the slaveryC. he wrote the Declaration ofD. he was for the right of free speechBLast week I visited my friend Pete in the new home where he l ives with his wife and daughter. Pete used to spend his holiday s travelling the world, visiting the pyramids in Egypt or scuba di ving(潜水) in the Caribbean. Nowadays he prefers to spend his holiday s and weekends making his house look more beautiful. Like hu ndreds of thousands of other British people, he has discovered the joy of DIY (Do It Yourself), which means if there are any thin gs that need fixing around the house, he will try to do the job hi mself.As he showed me the new kitchen he put together by himself and the newly painted walls, I asked Pete where hegot his inspiration (灵感) from. He told me that his favorite source of ideas was a DIY program on TV.This got me thinking about the great popularity of DIY progra ms in the . Each major channel has at least one home or garde n improving show and there’s even a satellite channel complete ly about the subject.I guess itis not really surprising that DIY programs are so popular. Two common sayings in Britain－‘an Englishman’s home is his castle’ and ‘there’s no place like home’－show how important our houses are to us. With the present eco nomic downturn, many people can’t afford to buy a bigger hous e so they are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. DIY is the perfect choice.But be careful! I read a report that said over 230,000 people were injured while doing home improvements in the UK in just o ne year, including 41,000 who fell off ladders(梯子) and 5,800 who were seriously hurt by hammers. So I won’t be going down to the hardware store.61. How did Pete spend his holiday in the past?A. Visiting his friends.B. Diving.C. Travelling around the world.D. Making his house beautif ul.62. Which might NOT be shown in a DIY program on TV?A. Scuba divingB. A garden improving feature.C. Home improvements.D. Fixing things in kitchens63. Which is NOT the reason why DIY is popular among British people?A. They enjoy DIY.B. They want to make their houses better themselves.C. They can improve their houses without spending much mo ney.D. They want to be on TV.64. At the end of the article the writer wants us to remember __ ___.A. not to go to the hardware storeB. to be careful not to get hurt while doing DIYC. to keep watching DIY on TV while drinking a nice cup of te aD. not to climb ladders or use hammers65. It can be inferred from the article that _____.A. people in the like DIY more than people in other countriesB. DIY programs are the most popular in theC. home is the most important place to the EnglishD. British people can’tafford to buy houses during the economic downturnPART FOUR WRITING （45 marks）Section A (10 points)Directions: Complete the following sentences according to the fi rst given letter or the Chinese in the sentence.单词填空（10marks）1.

AMy mother has always been a follower of traditional methods when it comes to anything. She cooks traditional food，likes dressing up traditionally and likes the traditional way of shopping. She loves going to markets and going from one shop to another to find out what suits her best. She can walk miles when it comes to shopping along with her friends. She knows all the local markets and shops and knows very well where she can get best discounts（折扣）．However，now she always gets tired when she goes out in the market. So one day I decided to introduce a new shop，which is much larger than usual markets and where she can also get discounts．I am talking about online gift stores. She has a basic knowledge of computers and can operate computers. At the beginning，she was doubtful about shopping from these online gift shops because she wasn’t too sure about the quality of the products.One day I decided to get her some branded things so that she could build trust in these shops. I ordered a Timex watch and a Sisley handbag for her. She never bought things online，but when they were delivered as a gift，she jumped for joy. She could not believe that I had ordered these gifts for her despite her being not much positive about online shops. However，after she saw both the products，she was assured that these online gift shops sent the promised brands and products，she loved her new watch and handbag.After this experience she ordered a gift for her friend's wedding. She chose a gift basket that could be made according to her requirements. They sent a beautifully decorated basket with fine wines and chocolates. The basket was so artistically decorated that it became her friend's favorite gift. Since then she has been consistently shopping online.1. What can we learn about the author's mother?A.

It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board . Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.Or，job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects，meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example，students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course，looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example，there is a book called "What Color is Your Parachute（降落伞）？”by Richard Bolles.

Why does this happen? Should the parents take any measures?On the one hand，people who spend a lot of time in front of the TV, especially teenagers，may snack more，and that may affect their long-term diet quality.On the other hand，TV ads for fast food，sweets and snacks tempt teenagers to eat more of those foods. And TV time might also replace exercise time for some kids.Lead researcher Dr. Daheia J. Barr-Anderson，of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis，told Reuters Health a clear correlation between TV time during high school and diet quality in young adulthood. While the heaviest TV viewers were eating the most junk food , those who'd watched less than two hours per day had the highest intake(吸收)of fruits，vegetables, whole grains and high-calcium food. In her opinion，parents should limit and monitor TV viewing.As far as I am concerned，children should watch no more than two hours of television per day. And parents should set a good example by eating right，being physically active and curbing their own TV time.9. What's the best title for this passage?A. People should keep away from TV to keep healthy.B. Teenagers' TV time may affect their diets later.C. Why do teenagers like TV"D. Parents' own habits may affect children later.10.

AWhen you walk along a street in a big city in the United States, you may see clocks in most stores. Radio announcers give the correct time during the day. People there think that it is important to know the time. Most Americans have watches. They want to do certain things at certain times. They do not want to be late.Not all people all over the world value time. Suppose you visit a certain country in South America. You would find that people living there do not like to rush. If you had an appointment (约会)with someone, he would probably be late. He would not care for arriving on time. In some countries in South America, even the radio programs may not begin right on time, nor do the radio announcers think it important to announce the right time.

Maybe it is impolite.” So Mrs. Harris just wrote “Party: 6:30 p.m.”A lot of guests came, and they all had a good time, so they did not go home at 8:30. In fact they were still there at mid-night when the door bell rang and a policeman arrived. He said, “You must stop making a noise, because someone has complained(抱怨).”Mr. Harris said he did not want to quarrel with the policeman, so everyone went home.

When she was little, her mother always told her that if she didn’t master the flying skills, she would go to hell. She was so curious about hell that she always asked others what hell looked like, but no one was sure, because none of them had ever been there. Some said hell was a place full of water, and others told her that hell was full of burning fire. However, the bird knew they were lying. She wanted to find out what hell was.When other birds were learning flying skills, she always hid herself and watched them. She thought in this way she could go to hell and see what hell looked like. However, she spent so little time learning flying skills that one day she was caught by a little boy. The little boy gave her to his grandpa in the countryside as a gift. The old man liked her very much. He made a delicate(精美的) cage and put her in it. The bird was very worried because she thought she couldn’t find out what hell was like staying in this small cage. However, she couldn’t escape. Day after day, she just stayed in the cage, watching other birds flying. She lost her freedom and she became sadder and sadder. At last, she became ill. The old man finally opened the cage, but she was too weak to fly. Lying on the ground, she thought of the question that she ever asked all the time.“What does hell look like?”“Hell is a small well—decorated cage.” Before she closed her eyes forever, she finally answered that question herself.13. What does the underlined word “master” in the first paragraph mean?A. Miss.B. Finish.C. Follow.D. Learn well.14. Why did the bird hide herself when other birds were learning flying skills?A.

甘肃高一高中英语月考试卷班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.My mom just bought me a new bike. Since my cousin Mary didn’t have a bike with her, she walked next to me.I thought that Mary would jump on the luggage carrier(行李架) over the back tire when I was riding. Mom knew exactly what I was thinking. “ Don’t ride the bike with Mary on the back,” she said. “It’s too dangerous. You could kill yourself. Take turns.”I nodded, but I was thinking I could handle this. A few minutes later, I turned right to a wide road. “Jump on the back, ” I told Mary. I rode fast, laughi ng as the wind blew through our hair. It was exciting, until the handlebar(车把) started shaking. The front tire dropped into a drain (下水道) and I fell off the bike, still holding the handlebar. My face, hands, and knees crashed into the pavement. The pain in my mouth was unbearable, and I tasted blood. I turned towards Mary who was on the ground, holding her knee and crying. Seconds later, it seemed that my mom’s car stopped next to us. I wanted Mom to say, “Oh, my poor sweetheart. Let me hug you and everythi ng will be fine.”However, my mom only said, “ What have you done to your face? Vanessa, look at what you’ve done!” Mom wasn’t the gentle “ I love you, sweetie” type.Sometimes, I thought Mom had no mercy. But in her own way, she was holding me tighter than I could understand—she was teaching me the lesson I needed. “ You did it—deal with it and learn from it. One day, the results will be greater and I won’t be there to help you.

Why has jogging — running slowly for long distances — become so popular? Most joggers begin because they hear it is a very good exercise. Jogging makes the heart stronger and helps people lose weight. It can also help them feel better about themselves. Donald Robbins, who is forty two years old and works in an office, began jogging a few years ago because he felt he was too fat. At first he could only run about 100 yards. It took him three months to be able to run a mile. But two years later, he ran in a marathon over twenty six miles. Many joggers, like Donald Robbins, feel that if they can succeed in jogging, they can succeed in other things, and quite often this feeling helps them in their jobs.Should you jog too? If you do, be sure to ask your doctor for advice. Jogging may be too much exercise for you. Does jogging cost much? No, it costs almost nothing. But it is very important to have a good pair of shoes that are made especially for jogging.They protect your feet and legs from the shock of running on the hard surface. How fast should you go? Jog with a friend and talk to each other as you run. If you have difficulty in talking,you're going too fast.How far should you jog? Remember not to go too far too soon. In fact, you should walk, not run, the first few times. Then do some short jogs, but no more than what you can do comfortably. After that, increase your distance a quarter or half a mile every two weeks or so. Maybe in a few years, you can run in a marathon too. 【1】The article is mainly about______.A．jogging as a sport B．jogging as an exerciseC．jogging in a safe way D．jogging as a way to the marathon【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?A．Jogging should be done in the early morning.B．Many people think that jogging needs one's will power.C．Jogging is time consuming.D．You should not talk while jogging.【3】Which piece of advice is NOT mentioned in the article?A．Have a good pair of shoes.B．Have a sports suit.C．Remember not to go too far too soon at the beginning.D．Ask your doctor for advice.【4】Why is jogging so popular according to the passage?A．It doesn't cost much.B．One can start jogging at any time and in any place.C．It is a very good exercise.D．One can talk with one's friend while jogging.4.Many of us have become so reliant(依赖的) on our smartphones that we use them to carry out unbelievable 221 tasks every day.A study of 2,000 smartphone owners shows that the average user reaches for their phone at 7:31 am each morning, to check personal emails and Facebook. And before they’ve even got out of bed, most of them check the weather, read the news, and send a text or two to friends. It also appeared that people will check the train times, do their banking and update what they want early in the day.In an average week, the research discovered that users pick up their phone more than 1,500 times to complete different tasks from emails to playing games and posting to social media. And the average smartphone user is on their phone for three hours and sixteen minutes a day. This amounts to almost one full day a week using their phone, so it’s no wonder almost four in ten us ers admitted feeling lost without their tool.Many owners also admitted to finding themselves using their phone without realizing they’re doing so, with two thirds saying they have managed to log in(登录) and browse(浏览) Facebook without thinking. And surprisingly, four in ten said they have, at one time or another, checked their emails automatically(自动的) without thinking. The study has also showed that our smartphones are now becoming more of a “go-to-gadget”, replacing desktops and laptops, which people only turn to for, on average, 140 tasks in a typical day.【1】Tasks carried out on smartphones are about ____ more than those on desktops and laptops.A．221B．140C．1,500D．80【2】What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?A．People often use their phone unconsciously (无意识地).B．One third managed to browse Facebook without thinking.C．Half of people checked their emails automatically.D．Six in ten people don’t check their emails.【3】The underlined word “go-to-gadget” in Paragraph 5 means “_________”.A．a funny expression B．an important studyC．a tool with intelligence D．an interesting game【4】What’s the best title for the passage?A．Are we dependent on our smartphones?B．The functions of smartphonesC．The disadvantages of smartphonesD．Smartphones will take the place of desktops and laptops二、其他Here are some things that you should do in your everyday life to improve your happiness.They may seem small, but they can make a huge difference.Get a good night’s sleep. Sleep has a great effect on your feelings. After a sleepless night, you may be easier to get angry. After a good sleep, you will feel much better. Humans don’t work well when they sleep badly.【1】.【2】. According to a recent study, people who spend 30 minutes a day outdoors report a big increase in their sense of joy and energy.【3】. Optimism is a state which is closely connected with happiness. If you are a person who is looking forward to a life “half-full” rather than “half-empty”, you will have a better chance of getting more life satisfaction and enjoyment, more satisfying work and marriage, better health and longer life.Enjoy good food. Doctors advise you to ask yourself: “What am I hungry for?” Th en really listen to your body. 【4】, and it tastes great, too. It’s amazing how much junk food is eaten simply because we think we don’t have the time to eat well. Nourish your body. It will thank you.Laugh. Find time every day for a little bit of laughter. Happiness is a practice.【5】, so is living a happy life. Once you begin to develop the practice to support your happiness, you will begin to notice changes in our relationships, your work and your attitude.A．Take a good attitudeB．Spend time in natureC．Inspire you to keep goingD．Eating a balanced diet makes you feel betterE.One’s sense of purpose is deeply connected with happiness.F.Just like going to the gym or eating a healthy diet is a lifestyleG.Studies have shown that having a good rest leads directly to your happiness三、完形填空It was in my high school science class.
