英语周测试卷（3月21日）出题人：陈永香审题人：张丽娟一、阅读理解（每题2分）AI was never very neat,while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled(贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and Igot messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came i nto the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, "Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!" Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me.I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a singleminute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation,I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When s he hung up, she quickly crawled(爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleanedthe socks and swept the floor even on her side. I got so into my work that I evendidn‘t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tear s dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up intoher eyes. She smiled at me, "Thanks."Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, butwe learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.1.What made Kate so angry one evening?A.She couldn't find her books.B.She heard the author shouting loud.C.She got the news that her grandma was ill.D.She saw the author's shoes beneath her bed.2.The author tidied up the room most probably because _____.A.she was scared by Kate's angerB.she hated herself for being so messyC.she wanted to show her careD.she was asked by Kate to do so3.How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?A.By analyzing causes.B.By showing differences.C.By describing a process.D.By following time order.4.What might be the best title for the story?A.My Friend KateB.Hard Work Pays OffC.How to Be OrganizedD.Learning to Be RoommatesBMinutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employeeswere busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater’s 75-year history. This time, however, thecleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish,another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation forthe building’s end.The film classic The Last Picture Show w as the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-be to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie is set in a small townwhere the only movie theater is preparing to close down.Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theater’s location (位置) was also a reason. “This used to be the center of town,” he said. “Now the area is mostly office buildings and war ehouses.”Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans wereabandoned because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to alocal development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land wherethe theater is located.The theater audience said good-bye as Bradford locked the doors for the lasttime. After 75 years the Plaza Theater has shown its last movie. The theater willbe missed.5.In what way was yesterday’s cleanup at the Plaza special?A.It made room for new equipment.B.It signaled the closedown of the theater.C.It was done with the help of the audience.D.It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater.6.Why was The Last Picture Show put on?A.It was an all-time classic.B.It was about the history of the town.C.The audience requested it.D.The theater owner found it suitable.7.What will probably happen to the building?A.It will be repaired.B.It will be turned into a museum.C.It will be knocked down.D.It will be sold to the city government.8.What can we infer about the audience?A.They are disappointed with Bradford.B.They are sad to part with the old theater.C.They are supportive of the city officials.D.They are eager to have a shopping center.CAbout 30 years ago, I left Cuba for the United States with my son. After getting settled finally in Brunswick, New J ersey, I enrolled (注册) my son in kindergarten. Several weeks later, my son’s teacher asked m e to meet him at his office.In the teacher’s office, and exchange of greetings was followed by hisquestions, “Is your son mentally retarded (弱智的) ? Does he suffer from any kindof mental disability?”Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? No, no, it can't be. What a helpless,lonely moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet, sweet little boy, instead. I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.My son could not follow the teacher’s directions, he told me, and thus, Scolawas disrupting the class. Didn’t he know my son did not speak English yet?He was angry: “Why hasn’t your son been taught to speak English? Don’t you speak English at home?”“No, I didn’t speak English at home,”　I replied. I was sure my son would leam English in a couple of months, and I didn't want him to forget his native language. Well, wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak in English to her son athome and at all time? “Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of thissociety?”Needless to say, I tried to tell him I was not one of “those people”. Then he told me the meeting was over, and I left.As I had expected, my son learned to speak English fluently before theschool year was over. He went on to graduate from college and got a job, earningclose to six figures. He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted, contented life. And he has benefited from being bilingual (双语的) .Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others;it teaches people about other cultures and other places—something very basic and obviously lacking in the “educator” I met in New Jersey.9.The teacher asked the author to meet him at hisoffice .A.to discuss Scola’s in-class performanceB.to get Scola enrolled in kindergartenC.to find a language partner for ScolaD.to work out a study plan for Scola10.What does the underlined word “disrupting” in Paragraph 4 probab ly mean?A.BreakingB.Following.C.Attending.D.Disturbing.11.The author’s attitude towards being bilingual may best be described as______ .A.criticalB.casualC.positiveD.passive12.This text is likely to be selected from a book of .A.medicinecationC.geographyD.historyDAmerican government suggests that children and teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity every day. But less than half of the children and just 10% of the teens meet these suggestions. What's the deal.It's reported that about 44 million US kids participate in organized sports(such as baseball, softball and soccer). But a new study says just one-quarter ofkids get the government-recommended amount of exercise when they show up for team practices. The study, published online last month in a medical journals says younger kids and boys do better than teens and girls.The study looked at 200 kids aged 7 to 14 who played on soccer, baseball andsoftball teams.The kids wore sensors to measure their activity during practices.During each practice, kids averaged 30 minutes of downtime (停工期).“ It is not clear how much physical activity is provided by youth sports practices," say the California-based authors of the study. “Much of the time may be inactive, such as r eceiving verbal instructions and waiting for turns.”What's a parent or coach or kid to do? The authors of the study suggestincreasing the number of practices, extending the time of practices and changingit up(加快) during practices. For example, the coach could give each player a ballat the same time.Rather than focusing on one player's skills, it's best to get thewhole team moving.But, the study says, the bottom line is that team sports aren't enough exercise. For a child to meet the US physical activity suggestions, the kid will have to domore than just join a team. Exercise is also necessary during breaks, during physical education class, after school and even on the way to school.13.According to the text,which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Only 10% of the teens can't meet the suggestions about physical activity.B.About 11 million US kids can get enough amount of exercise in team practices.C.The new study was published on a famous magazine last month.D.Teens do better than girls and younger kids in the new study.14.The underlined word “extending” in Paragraph 5 means ___________.A.giving support or confidenceB.becoming smaller or fewerC.making something longer or largerD.causing to move or go quickly15..The passage is probably written for _________.A.physical teachers and parentsB.doctors and nursesC.class advisers and researchersD.kids and headmasters16.What's the best title of the passage?A.Necessary for Kids to ExerciseB.Kids for Fun?C.How to Keep FitD.Not Enough Exercise?EWanted, Someone for a KissWe’re looking for producers to join us in the second of London 100 FM.

河北省大名县第一中学2018-2019高二英语下学期第九周考试试题第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40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．AAs computers become more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes(笔画)of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school.And computer dependence is more wide­spread among university students. Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer.All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.“When I’m writing with a pen, I find I often can’t remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it.”“I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about. Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?Many educators think differaently. Shi Liwei, the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(审美的)value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion. Through one’s handwriting, people can get to know one’s thinking and personality.Beautiful writing w ill give people a better first impression of them.”To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的) and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.1．The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because________. A．they are usually asked to e­mail their homework and essaysB．they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and convenientlyC．they find it not easy to remember how to write a characterD．computers have become a trend and fashion in China2．Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE of the advantages of handwriting? A．Handwriting contains the writer’s emotion.B．The writer’s thinking and personali ty are shown in his or her handwriting. C．Handwriting can impress people well and build one’s self­confidence. D．Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.3．The underlined expression “taking stock in”(Paragraph 4) probably means________. A．getting bored with B．getting dependent onC．becoming crazy about D．getting curious about4．We can draw the conclusion from the passage that________.A．more and more students will give up writing on a computerB．writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one dayC．more and more students will pay attention to handwritingD．the typing article better expresses one’s emotion and qualityBWhile astronauts in space get to do many exciting things, they miss out on ordinary things that we all take for granted—being able to walk on firm ground, hanging out with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza. Though not much can be done about the first two things, there may soon be a solution to the third one, thanks to this cool 3-D pizza printer!About a year ago, NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor, a 3-D technology expert, to build a device that would allow astronauts to make pizza on demand. The mechanical engineer promised that his invention would produce pies in large quantities that looked, tasted and even smelled like pizza made in common ovens.Late last year, the engineer presented a video of his first prototype（原型）that begins by creating a single slice of dough（面团）that is cooked and printed at the same time. Then com es the tomato “sauce”—a mix of tomato powder, oil and water and finally, a protein slice that looks like cheese. While the video doesn’tshow the baking process, the inventor says that once the pizza is printed, it can be ready to be consumed in 7 seconds.While the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract any pizza lover, Anjan Contractor is far from ready for astronauts. That’s because he still has to find a solution to make the food container in the printer last for 30 years. Though that may sound unrealistic, actually it is not. Anjan Contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients and then they are reduced to the powder form. This, as you can imagine, will not be so easy. But, while the printer may not be ready for space, it certainly looks ready enough for people on earth. Hopefully, NASA and Contractor will consider selling it to those not fortunate enough to go to Mars!5. Why does the author mention the things that astronauts in space cannot do?A. To ask us not to take common things for granted.B. To show they live a difficult life there.C. To show their life is boring in space.D. To introduce the topic of the text.6. NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor mainly to ________.A. create some new type of 3-D printerB. attract more companies to work for NASAC. help astronauts in space enjoy fresh pizza one dayD. produce pizza in large quantities to earn great profits7. The biggest challenge that Anjan Contractor is faced with now is probably that ________.A. he has no money left to go on with his researchB. the pizza doesn’t seem appetizing to pizza loversC. he has no way to make pizza that can last for thirty yearsD. he cannot make the food container last for decades8. What’s the best title of the passage?A. NASA is trying its best to help astronauts eat betterB. Astronauts may soon be able to enjoy steaming hot pizzaC. NASA is working on making pizza for common peopleD. A 3-D pizza printer has been used to make pizzaCFor thousands of years, people thought of glass as something beautiful to look at. Only recently have they come to think of it as something to look through. Stores display their goods in large glass windows. Glass bottles and jars that hold food and drink allow us to see the contents. Glass is used to make eyeglasses, microscopes, telescopes, and many other extremely useful and necessary objects.Until the Second World War, most of the glass used for optical（光学的）instruments was imported from Europe. However, during the war Americans could not get European glass, and they were forced to make their own. Therefore, new kinds of glasses were developed that had been previously unknown. These new effects were achieved by mixing other chemical elements with the sand. Some of these new glasses are very strong and can resist many kinds of shocks. Legend has it that a very hard glass was invented by a Roman who showed his discovery to the Emperor. When the Emperor saw the glass he feared that it would become more valuable than gold and sliver, making his treasure worthless. Therefore, he had the glassmaker killed, and the secret was not discovered again for hundreds of years.In the present century, safety glass was invented for use in modern cars and planes. Safety glass is made by placing a layer of plastic between two layers of plate glass. When the outside layer of glass is broken, the pieces do not scatter（散开）and injure people. Some glass of the type is strong enough to resist bullets（子弹）.Although nowadays plastics have replaced glass under conditions where glass might be easily broken, there are new uses being developed, for the greatest advantage of glass is that its component（组成的）parts are inexpensive and can be found all over the world.9. As time goes by, glass ________.A. is regarded as transparentB. is used to make things look pleasantC. is seen as more than decorationD. is widely used to replace steel in making containers10. Why did Americans make their own glass during the Second World War?A. The war blocked the way of glass import.B. The glass made in Europe was out of date.C. They refused to use the European glass.D. They were able to make a new kind of glass.11. Why does the author tell us the legend?A. To prove the Roman was the first inventor of hard glass.B. To support the Americans were as clever as the Romans.C. To give some information about hard glass.D. To provide a historical event concerned with hard glass.12. Why are new uses of glass being developed?A. Because glass is not as safe as plastics.B. Because glass is cheap and easily obtainable.C. Because glass is not as strong and durable as plastics.D. Because glass is more and more widely used.DIn ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics(策略).One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food(垃圾食品)later in their trip. In department stores,the women’s shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品)section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers' senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morningand then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.13.Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?A.To save customers time.B.To show they are high quality foods.C.To help sell junk food.D.To sell them at discount prices.14.According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?A.Opening the store early in the morning.B.Displaying British wines next to French ones.C.Inviting customers to play music.D.Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.15.What is the California builder’s story intended t o prove?A.The house structure is a key factor customers consider.B.The more costly the house is, the better it sells.C.An ocean view is much to the customers' taste.D.A good first impression increases sales.16.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.B.To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.C.To report researches on customer behavior.D.To show dishonest business practices.EAre you wishing for the days when your feed was filled with posts from friends you care about the most？The good news is that you can fix your Facebook News Feed to show more posts that interest you and fewer that do not．By taking just a few minutes to fix your feed，you may be able to enjoy Facebook again．●No need to unfriend anyone．Just set your feed to see what you want to see and hide what you do not want to see．See important friends firstFacebook lets you choose which friends'posts show at the top of your News Feed．Maybe you have dear friends who do not post often，but you want to be sure you see their posts first．You can easily choose whose posts you want to see first by changing your News Feed settings．●Procedures：On the Facebook website，tap the Down arrow in the upper right corner of the blue bar at the top of the screen．Then，choose “News Feed Preferences.” Then click on “List who to see first．” Choose the names of people whose posts you want to see at the top of your News Feed．The final step is to click"Done"at the bottom．Block friends'posts without unfriending anyoneYou may be best friends with someone in real life but have no interest in their Facebook posts．Maybe they post angry messages or childish videos．Facebook lets you secretly block friends'posts from your feed．No one will know you blocked them unless you tell them．●Procedures：The process is simple．Tap the Down arrow in the upper right corner of the blue bar at the top of the Facebook page．Then，choose"News Feed Preferences．"Next，choose"Unfollow people to hide their posts．"Then，mark the friends you want to unfollow．This will prevent their posts from appearing in your News Feed．When you finish blocking，just tap"Done"．17.What does the text guide people to do？A．To update information on Facebook．B．To reset Facebook for receiving posts．C．To search for favourite posts on Facebook．D．To download an application for Facebook．18.How many steps does it take to reset your favorite posts？A． 3．B． 4．C． 5．D． 6．19.Why do you want to block some of your friends'posts？A．Because their posts may bother you．B．Because they are not your best friends．C．Because you are too busy to read them．D．Because you want to stay away from them．20.What will happen if you mark your friends as"Unfollow"？A．They will not get in touch with you．B．You will make them angry with you．C．Your News Feed will not show their posts．D．They will not see your posts on Facebook．第二节七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）Life is just like a box. Inside it are happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process.

"So you think it useless？"the old man asked．"Then look at the basket．"To his surprise，the boy found it washed clean of the dirty coal stains and now clean inside and out．"My child，that's what happens when you read the book．You might not understand or remember everything，but the words will change you inside and out．That is the work of reading in our lives．"4.Why did the man tell the boy to fetch a basket of water？______A.

And many of them are often told: if you exercise, you will lose weight; ------which is one of the most widely accepted ideas in our culture. As a doctor, I exercise all the time, but I still have got fat that hangs over my belt when I sit. Why isn’t all the exercise getting rid of it?It’s another question many of us may ask. More than 35 million Americans now belong to a health club, up from 23 million in 1993. We spend some $19 billion a year on gym memberships. Of course, some people join and never go. Still, as one major study — the Minnesota Heart Survey — found, more of us at least say we exercise regularly.And yet obesity figures have risen sharply in the same period: a third of Americans are obese, and another third count as overweight by the Federal Government’s definition. Yes, it’s entirely possible that those of us who regularly go to the gym would weigh even more if we exercised less. But like many other people, I get hungry after I exercise, so I often eat more on the days I work out than on the days I don’t. Could exercise actually be keeping me from losing weight?The popular belief that exercise is essential for weight control is actually fairly new. As recently as the 1960s, doctors routinely advised against too much exercise, particularly for older adults who could injure themselves. Today doctors encourage even their oldest patients to exercise, which is sound advice for many reasons: People who regularly exercise are at significantly lower risk for all manner of diseases — those of the heart in particular. They less often develop cancer and many other illnesses. But the past few years of obesity research show that the role of exercise in weight loss has been wildly over-evaluated.“In general, for weight loss, exercise is pretty useless,” says Eric Ravussin, exercise researcher at Louisiana State University. Many recent studies have found that exercise isn’t as important in helping people lose weight as you hear so regularly in gym advertisements or on shows like The Biggest Loser — or from magazines like this one.12.Which title is the most suitable one for this article? ______A. Overweight Is Not Good for YouB. Exercise Won’t Make You ThinC. Gym Is Part of American LifestyleD. A Health Problem in America13.Which statement is correct? ______A. Some Americans join a health club but never take exercise thereB. The number of overweight people has doubled since 1993 in USC. More than 35 million Americans now go to the gym regularlyD. Most Americans waste too much money each year on sports14.From the passage, we know that exercise ____.A. has long been believed to be good for older adultsB. is not properly advertised as a way to lose weightC. was never recognized as an effective way to lose weightD. is not useful at all15.According to the passage, why do people gain weight? ______A. Because they have the habit of going to the gym regularlyB. Because they eat the same food when they do not exerciseC. Because they exercise less than required by doctorsD. Because they eat more after they exercise16.What can be inferred from the passage? ______A. Most Americans are overweight.B. Very few people in America are overweight.C. The author takes exercise all the time so he is very slim now.D. The author takes exercise all the time but it doesn’t make him lose weightEHome schooling nowadays becomes more popular. Home schooling is the education of children taught at home, typically by parents but sometimes by tutors, rather than in a formal setting of public or private school. The advantages of home schooling are plentiful, including the ability to create a positive learning environment without the danger and distractions of public school. What’s more, parents could stay with their children together for more time. However, home schooling also has disadvantages.First, home schooling may lead to students less communication with others. As we all know, the students who learn in public schools may find a lot of friends. When they meet difficulties, they can get help from others. But as for the students studying at home, the only persons they meet are their parents or tutors. It is certainly true that the children will have less interaction with their peers than those who attend public school on a regular basis.Second, home schooling may make children not know how to cooperate with others. Children who learn at home always stay with their parents or tutors. When they meet difficulties, they are always turning to and depending on their parents. But the children in public schools may know how to solve the problem with their friends.What’s more, home schooling may cost much more money than public school. If the parents want to take on the responsibility of educating their children themselves, it’s up to them to finance the entire experience. Learning materials, computer software and books that are otherwise paid for by the public school are needed, in addition to the regular school supplies all parents must purchase for their children. Considering that the parent doing the home schooling is unlikely to manage a full-time job on the side, these expenses are tough for some families to meet.17.What is one of the benefits of home education?A. It creates a more negative learning environment.B. Parents can stay with their kids for more time.C. Children have more social abilities.D. It has much lower cost.18.What would happen in the style of home schooling?A. One will have less peer pressure.B. One will have an easier way to make friends.C. One will have little cooperation with others.D. One will learn more knowledge than in public or private school.19.What is the main idea of the passage?A. America’s home schooling.B. The advantage of home schooling.C. The disadvantages of home schooling.D. Differences between school education and home education.20.What is the author’s attitude to home schooling?A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. indifferentF二．七选五How to Make FriendsFriendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends. Good friendship has many benefits. It offers companionship, improves self-worth and promotes good health. There are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved into a new town, or changed our jobs or schools. Such changes often leaves us without a friend 21 . But for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage. Below are some helpful suggestions on how to make and keep friends.1.Associate with others.The first step to making friends is associating with other people. You can go to public places to meet new people. Besides, you will need to make yourself known by becoming an active member of such places.2.Start a conversationStarting a conversation is the second most important step in making new friends. 22 You can always start the conversation. Being able to make small talk is a very useful skill in relating with other people.3. 23Choosing friends with common interests is important in building friendship as these interests would always bring you and your friend together. Hanging out will always be a pleasant experience.4. Let it grow.It is a good thing to stay in touch. However, try not to press your new friend with calls, messages or visits as these would likely wear him or her out and finally you may lose your friend. 24 . The best friendships are the ones that grow naturally.5. Enjoy your friendshipThe best way to enjoy your friendship is to allow your friends to be themselves. 25 Try not to change them from who they are to what you want them to be. Become the kind of friend you will want your friend to be to you.A. Be cheerful.B. Do things together.C. Do not wait to be spoken to.D. Try not to find fault with your friends.E. Making new friends comes easy for some people.F. For a friendship to develop you need to stay in touch.G. So you will need to give your friend time to react to you.三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共30.0分）No one is born a winner.

AOne morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurantwhere everyone from the humblest to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticedan empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. Hewas w earing a w orn-out h at a nd w as a lone. I a sked i f I m ight j oin h im. H e a greed q uietlyand I sat down to have my breakfast.We c autiously b egan a c onversation a nd s poke a bout a w ide r ange o f t hings. W e n ever introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able toafford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cupof coffee, I asked,“May I get you something?”“A coffee would be nice.”Then I bought him a cup of coffee, We talked more, and he accepted another cupof coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At thedoor, I met one of my friends. He asked,“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”“Who?”“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feelingpity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyonewith respect, no matter who I think they are, and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity.1. What does the underlined word “disheveled” mean?A.UnfriendlyB.UntidyC.GentleD.Kind2. The author bought coffee for the old man because .A.he thought the old man was poor.B.he wanted to start a conversation.C.he intended to show his politeness.D.he would like to thank the old man.3. How did the author probably feel after he talked with his friend?A.ProudB.PitifulC.AstonishedD.Regretful4. What is the message mainly expressed in the story?A.We should learn to be generous.B.It is honorable to help those in need.C.People in high positions are not like what we expect.D.We should avoid judging people by their appearances.BI travel a lot,and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask“How can I get to the post office?”Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have names;in Japan,people use l andmarks in their directions instead of street names. For e xample, t he J apanese w ill s ay t o t ravelers,“Go s traight d own t o t he c orner. T urn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from thebus stop. ”In t he c ountryside o f t he A merican M idwest, t here a re n ot u sually m any l andmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, "Go north two miles. Turn east,and then go another mile."People i n L os A ngeles, C alifornia, h ave n o i dea o f d istance o n t he m ap; t hey m easure distance in time,not miles. “How far away is the post office?”you ask. “Oh,”they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here. ’’You say,“Yes,but how many miles away is it?”They don’t know.It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” Butin Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don't know." People in Yucatan believe that “I don't know" is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A touristcan get very, very lost in Yucatan!5. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place,theyusually . A.describe the place carefully B.show him amap of the placeC.tell him the names of the streetsD.refer to recognizable buildings and places6. Which is the place where people measure distance in time?A.New York.B.Los Angeles.C.Kansas.D.Iowa.7. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer_____.A.in order to save timeB.as a testC.so as to be politeD.for fun8. what can we infer from the text?A.It's important for travelers to understand cultural differences.B.It's useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.C.People have similar understandings of politeness.D.New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.CI w ish t here w ould b e a w ay t o d escribe C hina i n s imple t erms b ut t hat’s i mpossible.For the most part, Chinese people are friendly, easy-going and optimistic.

I n m y E nglish c lasses w hen t he s tudents w ere a sked what they would do if they only had a few hours to live, most students told me how they would spend their last few hours with their families and parents. Many times the subjects in the classes center on families and friends. I teach many students a year, talking to them freely.The cost of living here i s very low compared with that of the US. The city of XiangFan I live in isn’t large and I live better. Non-imported foods are very cheap, soare clothing and articles of everyday use. The cost of public transportation is verylow, too. Chinese value education. However, it is reported that many children can’tafford the expenses of schooling and are forced to leave school in some poor areasin China. But they organized Project Hope many years ago. It creates conditions forthe poor children to go back to school. In my opinion, Project Hope is of great importance to the development of the rural education.When we read news of China in the west, rarely, if ever, will we see anything mentioned o f t he p ositive c hanges C hina h as g one t hrough.

How? Packaging is the silent but persuading salesman .There on the shelves, each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designedand measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer, so that is buying not onlya product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behaviorrecently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality”of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consu mers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,”a s L ouis C heskin, t he f irst s ocial s cientist s tudying c onsumers’f eelingfor packaging, noticed.Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that itis very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices goingup.Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That’s why the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old.This new consumer response to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.13.

He is considered one of the best actors in Hong Kong. Yes, he is Chow Yun-fat.The example of his long hard struggle for success has been used in a chapter in a Hong Kong middle school textbook. Using his experience, students can learn to make the most of their time and to grab every opportunity to succeed.On hearing about this, Chow said happily, “I really hope that my experiences can make young people understand that one should not be afraid of difficulties and setbacks, for they are the only way to succe ss.”Indeed, Chow has travelled a long and difficult path to reach his success. In 1955, he was born into a poor family in Hong Kong. When he was 17, he had to leave school. He worked in a number of jobs—as a postman, camera salesman and taxi driver. These experiences paved the way for him to play all kinds of roles later in life.Chow broke into the film industry in the late 1970s. He was one of the hardest working actors and starred in a number of popular TV dramas and films including “Shanghai Bund” and “A Better Tomorrow”. Since 1985, he has won many awards including Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards and Hong Kong Film Awards.In 1995, he went to Hollywood. Although he was already over 40, he had to learn English. He even put chopsticks in his mouth to practise pronouncing certain sounds. His film, “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, began to gain him more fame and recognition around the world. In 1998, the mayor of Chicago set aside January 12 as “Chow Yun-fat Day”.16.

The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth.

But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one. In those days, a brush was made from camel’s hair. There were no camels nearby. Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush.The brush did not last long. Soon Benjamin needed more fur. Before long, the cat began to look ragged （蓬乱）. His father said that the cat must be sick. Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing.The cat’s lot was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamin’s cousins, Mr. Pennington, came to visit. He was impressed with Benjamin’s drawings. When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. He also sent six engravings（版画） by an artist. These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen. In 1747, when Benjamin was nine years old, Mr. Pennington returned for another visit. He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift. He asked Benjamin’s parents if he might take the boy to Philadelphia for a visit.In the city, Mr. Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings. The boy began a landscape painting. William Williams, a well-known painter, came to see him work. Williams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home. The books were long and dull. Benjamin could read only a little, having been a poor student. But he later said,＂Those two books were my companions by day, and under my pillow at night.＂While it is likely that he understood very little of the books, they were his introduction to classical paintings. The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist.7. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 suggest?A. The cat would be closely watched.B. The cat would get some medical care.C.

It was then that the dad of two realized his young daughter had a heart that was too big for words.“I run a charity called Extra Life where I play video games to help raise money for kids，” he said. “Ariana happened to be sitting next to me when a video was playing, showing a little girl who was bald, lying in a hospital bed with tubes in her.” When their daughter got curious, Smith and his wife Crystal explained how medicine was what made the child in the video lose her hair.“Without a second thought, Ariana said, ‘She can have some of my hair,” Smith said. “That's when my wife told me that there are many organizations that we could donate it to.” The Smiths chose “Locks of Love” to send Ariana's generous gift to a child with medical hair loss.A week later, Ariana was taken to the family hairdresser where 10 inches was cut from her hair.“It was her first haircut，” Smith told ABC News. “She can be so selfless like that. Her first reaction is ‘How about me giving up something that I have, so a little girl can feel pretty？’” Smith posted his daughter's moving gesture on his personal webpage, where it has received almost 645,000 views in just two days.“She'll take an adult­like approach and it's really amazing，” Smith said. “She is just a little kid, but if she sees somebody in need, she certainly cares for them. This made Ariana feel special and she'd definitely like to do it again.” 10．Which of the following can best describe Josh Smith?A．Far­sighted.B．Easy­going.C．Kind­hearted.D．Strong­willed.11．Ariana decided to donate her hair when ________.A．her father advised her to do so B．she saw a sick girl in a video C．she had her first haircut D．she visited a hospital12．What do we know about Ariana?A．She suffered medical hair loss.B．Her story drew wide attention online.C．She got little support from her parents.D．She has called on people to donate hair like her.E篇Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start­up fatigue (疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it is either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start­up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical order (按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day's work with the difficult task of essay­writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can—then let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》) , I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feelingtired.13．What does the author recommend doing to prevent start­up fatigue?A．Writing essays in strict order.B．Building up physical strength.C．Leaving out the toughest ideas.D．Dealing with the hardest task first.14．According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us ________.A．ignore mental problemsB．get some nice sleepC．gain complete reliefD．find the right solution15．What could be the best title for the passage?A．Success Is Built upon FailureB．How to Handle Performance FatigueC．Getting over Fatigue: A Way to SuccessD．Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health ProblemsF篇根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
