AWhile it’s the books that make a library，being in lovely surroundings may provide inspiration and help you to work a little bit harder．Here are some of the coolest libraries of the world．Library of Birmingham—Birmingham，U．K．The new Library of Birmingham is said to be not only Britain’s biggest public library，but also the largest in Europe．Designed by Dutch architects，this replacement for the Birmingham Central Library was opened in 2013 and has a wealth of resources within its walls，including adult and kids’libraries，music collections，a Shakespeare Memorial Room，and even a gym room．Gardens crown the roof，while the changing seasons bring variations in the shadows and reflections inside．National Library of France—Paris，FranceThe National Library of France，which now contains an astonishing collection of 30 million，dates back to the 14th century and this royal library was set up at the Louvre by King Charles V．The library was moved to Rue de Richelieu site in 1868，with major design work carried out by French architects Henri Labrouste and，following his death，Jean-Louis Pascal．Here，the reading rooms are elegance itself．There are more than just books to be found．State Library of New South Wales—Sydney，AustraliaThe public State Library of New South Wales holds the honor of being the oldest institution of kind in Australia．It was originally the Australian Subscription Library in 1826，but it wasn’t until 1942 that its permanent home was ready．Designed by Sydney architect Walter Liberty Vernon and completed in 1910，the magnificent sandstone Mitchell Wing is one of the architectural highlights．Seattle Central Library—Seattle，Washington，USASeattle Cent ral Library’s distinctive design ensures it stands out．Architect Rem Koolhaas is one of the names attached to its design．Architects sought to envelop the 11-story building with“a layer of transparency”，using a skin of glass and metal．The finished article houses about 1.45 million books and other things，as well as more than 400 computers available for public use．The building，which opened in 2004，was included on the American Institute of Architects’list of America’s 150 favorite buildings in 2007．1．Which of the following library has the longest history?A．Library of Birmingham．B．Seattle Central Library．C．State Library of New South Wales．D．National Library of France．2．What can you do in Library of Birmingham?A．Attend a concert．B．Act a play．C．Enjoy new technology．D．Take some exercise．3．What do National Library of France and Seattle Central Library have in common?A．They have computers available．B．They were designed by more than one person．C．They won awards for architecture．D．They were moved to a new place．BModern day robots may not be as entertaining as R2D2 or the robot from Lost in Space, but robots are very important to space exploration and are being used in a variety of different ways for several important reasons.Robots make great explorers on planets, moons, and other landing areas. Aside from the earth, just about every surface in the solar system is unsafe for humans to explore. The air on most other planets is insufficient for humans to breathe, making it necessary to wear a space suit and oxygen equipment. The temperatures on these surfaces are much too hot or much too cold for any humans to withstand. Plus there would be complications with radiation, weather, and a lack of gravity. Robots have much less limitation in these areas and can survive much longer under these conditions.Robots are designed for collecting scientific data. Robots are also able to perform many tasks at one time and can process information much quicker and more efficiently. Important scientific projects from detecting minerals, analyzing ground samples, and finding water are all performed much quicker and accurately by robots.The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work. In order to successfully send humans into space we would need to build a vehicle that can not only carry humans, but also enough food and water to keep them alive for the duration of the trip. Moreover, robots have no problems working for hours on end. Robots never complain, they don’t require food or water, and they never need a bathroom break.Over the past 30 years or so there have been many different types of robots used successfully in the exploration of space. Perhaps the most famous and successful robots are Spirit and Opportunity who have both been exploring the surface of Mars. They have both been very successful with experiments on soil and rocks and have even found evidence of water in Mars’ history.4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Robots Are Used in Space ExplorationB. The Discovery of Space ExplorationC. No Robots, No Space ExplorationD. The Development of Robots5.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Both Spirit and Opportunity have found the evidence of water on Mars.B. It is dangerous for humans to explore other surfaces in the solar system except the earth.C. The use of robots in space exploration costs more than the use of humans.D. Many different types of robots have explored the space successfully.6.The underlined word “withstand” most probably means “______”A. remainB. developC. bearD. defeat7. What is the writer's attitude in this passage?A. ObjectiveB. SubjectiveC. NegativeD. CriticalCOften a nickname is a shortened form of a person's name, and it can also be a descriptive name for a place or a thing. Many American cities have nicknames. These can help build up an identity, spread pride among citizens and build their unity. Nicknames can also be funny.Los Angeles, California is the second largest city in population, after New York City. Los Angeles has several nicknames. One is simply the city's initials, L.A. It is also called the City of Angels because Los Angeles means "the angels" in Spanish.Los Angeles often has warm, sunny weather. So another nickname is City of Flowers and Sunshine. New York is called The Big Apple. So Los Angeles is sometimes called The Big Orange because of the fruit that grows in that city's warm climate.The American movie and television industries are based in Los Angeles. So it is not surprising that it is called The Entertainment Capital of the World. Many films are made in the area of Los Angeles called Hollywood. Millions of people visit the area. No trip to Los Angeles is perfect without seeing the word "Hollywood" spelled out in huge letters on a hillside.Many movie stars live in Los Angeles. The city is sometimes called Tinseltown. This nickname comes from the shiny, bright and often unreal nature of Hollywood and the movie industry.Another nickname for Los Angeles is La-La Land, using the first letters of Los and Angeles. This means a place that is fun and not serious, and maybe even out of touch with reality.A good place for watching unusual-looking people is Venice, an area on the west side of Los Angeles. A system of waterways designed after the Italian city of Venice has been built there. Many people love Los Angeles for its warm sunny weather, beautiful mountains and beaches, and movie stars. That includes Randy Newman, who sings about his hometown.On the whole, Los Angeles is growing attractive just for its rich nicknames.8. Choose the one that isn’t the function of a nickname of a place.A. EntertainmentB. Uniting surrounding citiesC. Bringing pride to the localsD. Establishing characteristics9. Which of the following can best replace the underlined sentence?A. Seeing the big letters "Hollywood" on a hillside means you've been really to Los Angeles.B. Not seeing the word "Hollywood" on a hillside means you haven't been to Los Angeles.C. Your trip to Los Angeles is not complete if you miss the big letters "Hollywood" on a hillsideD. If you visit Los Angeles you should first pay a visit to "Hollywood" s on a hillside.10. What’s the number of the nicknames given to Los Angeles?A. 7B. 4C. 5D. 611. According to the passage, the true statement is ________.A. Los Angeles was built after the Italian city of VeniceB. All the nicknames increase the charm of Los AngelesC. Los Angeles is most famous for its nicknamesD. Hollywood alone adds fame to Los AngelesDLinda Evans was my best friend-like the sister I never had. We did everything together: taking piano lessons, going to the movies, swimming and riding horseback.When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we met each other on special time---like my wedding and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back stamped(在……上盖)" Address unknown". I had no idea how to find Linda.Over the years. I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share the happiness of my children then grandchildren with her. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then my mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman –Linda’s married name. " There must he thousands of Wagnans, "I thought, but I still wrote to her.The young woman called as soon as she got my letter. Mrs Tobin!" she said excitedly Linda Evans Wagman is my mother." Minutes later I heard a voice that I recognized at once, even after 40 years. 'Then we laughed and cried and caught up on (了解) each other’ s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there's one thing that Linda and I know for sure: We won' t lose each other again12.

The idea is to get people fit and reduce their carbon footprint. Guests will have to produce at least 10 watt hours of electricity — roughly 15 minutes of cycling for someone of average fitness. Guests staying at Plaza Hotel will be given meal tickets worth $ 36 once they have produced 10 watt hours of electricity. The bicycles will have smart phones attached to the handlebars measuring how much power is being generated for the hotel.The plan, a world-first, will start on 19 April and run for a year. Only guests staying at the hotel will be able to take part. Frederikke Toemmergaard，hotel spokeswoman, said, “Many of our visitors are business people who enjoy going to the gym. There might be people who will cycle just to get a free meal, but generally I don’t think people will take advantage of our programme.”Copenhagen has a long-standing cycling tradition and 36 % of locals cycle to work each day, one of the highest percentages in the world, according to the website visitcopenhagen. dk. US environmental website treehugger. com recently voted Copenhagen the world’s best city for cyclists. “Because Copenhagen is strongly connected with cycling, we felt the bicycle would work well as a symbol of the hotel’s green profile (形象).”If successful，the electric bicycle meal programme will be spread to all Crowne Plaza hotels in the UK, the hotel said in a statement.4．What is the main purpose of the free meal programme?A．To promote the hotel’s green concept.B．To make the city known to the world.C．To attract people to the hotel restaurant.D．To get guests to stay longer at the hotel.5．How can a participant get a free meal?A．By becoming a professional cyclist.B．By cycling to produce some electricity.C．By linking a smart phone to a bicycle.D．By monitoring his or her carbon footprint.6．Who are most likely to enter for the programme?A．The poor local people.B．The environment activists.C．Health-conscious hotel guests.D．Visitors fond of Copenhagen food.7．According to Paragraph 3, Copenhagen has one of the world’s .A．best chain hotelsB．greenest natural environmentsC．longest bike pathsD．highest rates of people cycling to workCFirst of all，students should respect their teachers.

That means saluting（向……致敬）the teacher，standing from your chair when the teacher enters the classroom，attending any lesson attentively，etc. In the class of a certain subject or a teacher you don't like very much，if it's total anarchy（混乱），how can we talk about respect？Play by the rulesIf your teacher wants you to use wide-lined paper，do it！If he/she tells you to sharpen your pencils only before class starts，listen to him/her. If he/she doesn't accept late homework，do yours on time. Sometimes classroom rules seem strict or even silly，but most teachers know what'snecessary to make things run smoothly and what it takes to let the learning begin. And the better the learning environment is，the smarter you'll be！Expect him/her to like youTeachers are teachers because they like kids. Given the chance, most teachers want to be your friends too. Respect your teacher, but don't be afraid of him/her. He/She wants you to have a great school year just as much as you want to have!Put first things firstFriends are a fun part of school. But sometimes they' re not the most important part. When your teacher is teaching, give him/her your full attention.

Every time my friends visit me, my nose is buried in a book. Wherever I go, I always have a book with me. Novels, history books, stories about people, journals andnews—I read them all and I’ve learnt a lot, too. For example, many things in life happen for the best even if we don’t like or understand them.Why is reading such an enjoyable pastime for me? I probably first learned about it from my parents. My mother read to me at night in my childhood and bought me picture books. The greatest gift she has given me is a love for reading. And it will be a life-long habit.No one ever asked me why I liked to read. They just saw me and asked, “Oh? Is that for school work?” And I just shook my head, “No. It’s just for fun.” While reading a good book, I can totally forget myself and fly to another world. It’s like exploring through someone’s eyes, which is just as exciting as watching a movie.Reading is also necessary in order to learn about writing, to improve my use of words and phrases and broaden my knowledge. What a pity to see our imagination disappear, for we don’t exercise it often. Reading can even be good for one’s health, I think. Everyone should read sad stories that make us cry and also books with humor that make us laugh out loud!12．Among the gifts my parents have given me, which is the most valuable one?A．A love for reading. B．Picture books.C．Good health. D．A lovable pastime.13．In the fourth paragraph, the author thinks reading can ____.A．make his parents happy B．finish his school workC．improve writing and broaden knowledge D．help him understand some movies14．If we don’t use our imagination often, ____.A．it is bad for our health B．we will soon learn how to writeC．it will help us to have a good rest D．it will soon disappear15．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Why do I have few friends? B．What are my life habits?C．Why do I love reading? D．Why do things happen for the best?第二节（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

In the last thirty years, business contacts between Japan and the West have become very important. Many foreign companies now have offices in Japan as well as Japanese businessmen do business around the world.Difference between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, however, often bewilders the foreign businessmen and making doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners. An American businessman, for example, wants to start talking business immediately. He wants quick decisions. He does not wait. A Japanese, on the other hand, likes to arrive at decision gradually after giving him a great deal of thought.Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means “Yes” or “No”. This is because of cultural difference for a Japanese to say “No” directly. In English, it is easy to say “No” to something we do not want to do. But in Japan it is very difficult to say “No”. To refuse an invitation or a request with “No”, or a similar phrase, is felt to be impolite. It is thoughtto be self ish and unfriendly. So instead of saying “No” directly, the Japanese have developed many ways to avoid saying “No”. These enable them to avoid hurting other people’s feeling. However, this often makes communication with the Japanese difficult for foreigners to understand and follow.31. From paragraph 1, we know that_______________.A. Japan is a very important country for businessmenB. Japanese businessmen do business all around the worldC. It is not always easy for foreigners to do business in JapanD. Business contacts between Japan and the West are important32. The underlined word in paragraph 2 probably means___________.A. tireB. puzzleC. interest D surprise33. From the passage, we can know that___________.A. American businessmen do things more quickly than Japanese onesB. American businessmen like to say “Yes” and “No”C. Americans usually say what they are thinkingD. Americans do not express themselves clearly34. How many difficulties do the foreign businessmen in Japan may have?A. ThreeB. FourC. FiveD. Two35. The main idea of the passage is that___________.A. foreign businessmen must be more politeB. Japanese businessmen are good at businessC. you must learn from Japan if you want to succeedD. foreign businessmen should first try to understand JapaneseCIs the woman pictured on the right more attractive than the woman on the left?The photograph on the right was changed using a new "beauty making" computer program, which uses a mathematical formula involving 234 measurements of distances between facial features to get a theoretically more attractive version, while keeping the basic appearance of the face unchanged. Unlike changes done in fashion magazine photos, wrinkles were not smoothed and hair color was not changed.The program is the latest attempt to combine beauty and science, a subject that has drawn increasing academic interest in the last decade.Studies have shown there is surprising agreement among people of different cultures about what makes a face attractive. Most important is symmetry (匀称), along with youthfulness, skin smoothness and vivid eyes and hair color. Yet, like the many other scientific or mathematical attempts to define beauty, this software program raises complex and difficult questions about the understanding of beauty."How can they prove something is more or less beautiful?" said Lois Banner, a history professor at Chicago University, who studies changing beauty standards. "There can never be a single standard of beauty because so much of it is culturally influenced."After viewing "before" and "after" photographs of different people, Banner said the original faces were more attractive. "Irregular beauty is the real beauty," said Banner, adding that attempts to measure beauty are driven by the media’s effortsto define beauty and who is beautiful.Martina Eckstut, the woman whose photo was beautified for this article, said she was struck by how different she looked. "I think the “after” picture looks great, but it doesn’t really look like me at all." She added, "I would like to keep my original face."For centuries people have tried to define a universal ideal of beauty. "The first reaction we have to faces will be based on face symmetry." said Alexander Nehamas,a professor who has writte n about beauty. "But in real life we don’t just see a face. We see faces as people express their emotions and ideas, and all those aspects of the face are essential to our deciding whether a face or a person is beautiful."36. How does the program work to beautify a face?A. It changes the distances between facial features.B. It smoothes the skin and softens the color of the hair.C. It digitally repairs some obvious facial faults.D. It replaces the original face with a similar one.37. Banner believes that .A. there is no such thing as beautyB. efforts to develop a beauty measure should be encouragedC. the media is to blame for the failure to agree on beauty standardsD. it is impossible to show that one thing is more beautiful than another38. When seeing the "after" picture, Martina Eckstut was .A. pleasantly surprised but thought she could look even betterB. eager to get her face changed although it didn’t look like her at allC. amazed by the attractiveness but preferred not to have a different faceD. confused by how different she looked and had no idea what to do39. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Beauty is mainly based on face symmetry.B. There is no single standard or definition of beauty.C. The program is likely to encourage people to change their appearance.D. Mathematics should be used to help us create beauty.40. The purpose of the passage is to .A. oppose the attempts to create artificial beautyB. introduce a beauty program and a discussion about beautyC. discuss what makes a person beautifulD. show how a beauty engine can beautify a person四、语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完型填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读短文，从短文各题后所给的四个选项选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项Back in my count ry, when I was a child, I used to go to “market day” with my mother.

AIt is never too early, or too late, to encourage a child to read. With the chill (寒冷)of winter upon us, the following is a list of wonderful stories with winter and or snow themes.Waiting for WinterIt was written by Sebastian Meschenmoser. A little squirrel(松鼠), who has never seen snow, is determined that he will not miss it this year. He gets the help of his good friends, a bear and a hedgehog, trying to stay a- wake until they can all see the first snowfall of winter. This book is a wonderful story to read aloud to young children or for older children to read by themselves.The Snowy DayThe Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats is a short read, but since its first publication it has been loved by millions. It tells about a beautiful story about the magic and possibility of the first snowfall of winter, which appeals to young and older children.The Polar ExpressPopularized by the 2004 Warner Brothers all-digital film, The Polar Express was first published in 1985. The hero of this story is a boy who is given the opportunity to receive a gift from Santa himself. A magical train appears outside his bedroom window» taking him away on a fantastic journey to the North Pole.Mr. Willowby’s Christmas TreeIt was written by Robert E. Barry. Mr Willowby orders a lovely new Christmas tree, and when it is delivered to his home he finds it far too tall. He has the top of the tree cut off in order to make it just the right height. This book follows the treetop on its journey through the forest, where it brings the joy of the holidays for some woodland creatures.This book teaches us a valuable lesson about the joy of giving, and happiness that it can bring to the hearts of recipients (接受者).1．Waiting for Winter and The Snowy Day are similar in that ______.A．they are intended for older children and adultsB．they are centered around the first snowfall of winterC．they are short novels and are loved by millionsD．they are fairy tales about talking animals2．Which of the following was made into a popular film?A．Waiting for WinterB．The Snowy DayC．The Polar ExpressD．Mr. Willowby’s Christmas Tree3．What can we learn about Mr. Willowby’s Christmas Tree?A．It tells us giving can bring pleasure for us.B．It was written by Sebastian Meschenmoser.C．It tells about a boy’s journey through the forest.D．It tells us Mr Willowby received a magic gift from Santa.BI’m a real book lover. Every time my friends visit me, my nose is buried in a book. Wherever I go, I always have a book with me. Novels, history books, stories about people, journals and news—I read them all and I’ve learnt a lot, too. For example, many things in life happen for the best even if we don’t like or understand them.Why is reading such an enjoyable pastime for me? I probably first learned about it from my parents. My mother read to me at night in my childhood and bought me picture books. The greatest gift she has given me is a love for reading. And it will be a life-long habit.No one ever asked me why I liked to read. They just saw me and asked, “Oh? Is that for school work?” And I just shook my head, “No. It’s just for fun.” While reading a good book, I can totally forget myself and fly to anothe r world. It’s like exploring throughsomeone’s eyes, which is just as exciting as watching a movie.Reading is also necessary in order to learn about writing, to improve my use of words and phrases and broaden my knowledge. What a pity to see our imagination disappear, for we don’t exercise it often. Reading can even be good for one’s health, I think. Everyone should read sad stories that make us cry and also books with humor that make us laugh out loud!4．Among the gifts my parents have given me, which is the most valuable one?A．A love for reading. B．Picture books.C．Good health. D．A lovable pastime.5．In the fourth paragraph, the author thinks reading can ____.A．make his parents happy B．finish his school work C．improve writing and broaden knowledge D．help him understand some movies 6．If we don’t use our imagination often, ____.A．it is bad for our health B．we will soon learn how to writeC．it will help us to have a good rest D．it will soon disappear7．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Why do I have few friends? B．What are my life habits?C．Why do I love reading? D．Why do things happen for the best?CMany years ago, Norman Cousins was seriously ill. He was given six months to live. His chance for recovery was 1 in 500.He could see the worry, depression and anger in his life contributed to his disease. He wondered, “If illness can be caused by negativity (消极性), can health be created by positivity (积极性)?” He decided to make an experiment of himself.Laughing was one of the most positive activities he knew. He watched all the funny movies he could find. He read funny stories. He asked his friends to call him whenever they said, heard or did something interesting.His pain was so great that he could not sleep. Laughing for 10 solid minutes, he found, relieved the pain for several hours so he could sleep. He fully recovered from his illnessand lived another 20 happy and healthy years.Laughing is necessary to our health. If we’re not well, laughing helps us get well; if we are well, laughing helps us stay that way. So, if you like laughing, do it as often as you can. Use whatever makes you laugh, movies, books, jokes or friends. The people around you may think you’re strange, but sooner or later they’ll join in even if they don’t know what you’re laughing about.8． Cousins decided to try to laugh a lot ______.A. in order to be happyB. in order to cure his diseaseC. because he could not live for longD. because his disease couldn’t be cured9．The text mainly tells us ______.A. how to be happyB. laughing is good for our healthC. about Cousins’ miserable lifeD. funny stories make our life different10． Which of the following is TRUE about his illness?A.

The other was a very old and dilapidated one，which had seen many years of service，but was now past its best.Every morning，the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carrythem along the path，one on each side，to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled. The old bucket felt very ashamed（惭愧的）because of its holes：before it reached the flowerbeds，much water had leaked（渗漏）along the path.Sometimes the new bucket would say，"See how capable I am! How good it is that the gardener has me water the flowers every day! I don’t know why he still uses you. What a waste of space you are!"And all that the old bucket could say was，"I know I am not very useful，but I can only do my best.I am happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me ，at least.’’One day，the gardener heard that kind of conversation. After watering the flowers as usual，he said，"You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back，and I want you to look carefully along the path."Then the two buckets did so. All along the path,they noticed，on the side where the new bucket was carried，there was just bare earth；on the other side where the old bucket was carried，there was a joyous row of wild flowers，leading all the way to the garden. 12．What was the old bucket ashamed of?A．Its past.

山西省2019学年高一下学期第三次（5月）月考英语试卷【含答案及解析】姓名___________ 班级____________ 分数__________一、阅读理解1. China, org. cn selected its top 10 people who moved China in 2012. These heroes included a jet engineer, a businessman, a teacher, as well as nursesand migrant workers. Here are the accounts of the exemplary deeds of ZhangLili, a teacher. Zhang Lili is a teacher at the No. 19 Middle School in Jiamusi, Heilongjiang Province. She suffered from serious injuries aftersaving two students from being hit by an oncoming bus on May 8.Zhang and her students were crossing the road just outside the school gate when suddenly a runaway school bus changed direction towards the students. Zhang managed to push both students out of the vehicle’s destructive (破坏的，毁灭性的）path, but she herself did get run over. Her legs were crushed andlater had to be cut off above the knee.Bom on Jan. 19, 1984，in Jiamusi, Zhang was a 168cm-tall lively and cheerful young woman who had devoted herself entirely to her job. She got married in 2009. The couple planned on having a baby after the graduation of her class. Zhang’s act of heroism has moved a large number of people. She was even named “the most beautiful teacher” by netizens. She was awarded the “May I Labor Medal” and given the title of “Female Pace-setter” by authorities.She became a Party member in July.1. According to the first paragraph, we know people who moved China______________ .A. came from all walks of lifeB. made great contributions to China in their livesC. all held important positions in the governmentD. all were grass roots2. Which of the following is right according to the passage?A. Two students were hit by a bus.B. Zhang and her students crossed the street smoothly.C. The accident happened on a street near the school gate.D. Some students did not obey traffic rules.3. What can we infer from the passage?A. Zhang Lili’s legs were completely cut off.B. Zhang Lili and the two students were all injured.C. Zhang Lili gave her life to teaching.D. Zhang Lili loved her students very much.4. Which of the following can be used to describe Zhang Lili?A. Devoted and caring.B. Optimistic and humorous.C. Healthy and wealthy.D. Proud and confident.2. The most widespread fallacy (谬论)of all is that colds ire caused by cold. They are actually caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coining into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever But they do not. And in the isolatedArctic Regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches(战壕), cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds.In the Second World War prisoners at the Auschwitz concentration camp，naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds. At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty rooms. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.If then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter. Despite the most pains-taking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.1. The writer offered ______________ examples to support his argumentA. 4B. 5C. 6D. 72. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The Eskimos suffer from colds from time to time.B. Colds are not always caused by cold.C. People suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors.D. A person may catch a cold by touching someone who already has one.3. Arctic explorers may catch colds when they are ______________ .A. working in the isolated arctic regionsB. writing reports in terribly cold weatherC. free from work in the isolated arctic regionsD. coming into touch again with the outside world4. Volunteers taking part in the experiments in the Common Cold Research Unit ______________ .A. suffered a lotB. never caught coldsC. often caught coldsD. became very strong5. The passage mainly discusses ______________ .A. the experiments on the common coldB. the fallacy about the common coldC. the reason and the way people catch coldsD. the continued spread of common colds3. Our children and grandchildren may not have a chance to visit many of the most famous places around the world. War, weather, age, traffic and pollution damage these famous places. Looking after these places often costs more than one country can afford.In the early 1970s, world governments decided that if they joined together, they would be able to preserve our history. If every country paid some money, they said, it would be possible to look after important historic places. Also, if they discovered that a monument needed urgent help, they would have money for repairs. For these reasons, countries around the world united to form the World Heritage Organization in 1972. Today, the organization helps to maintain and restore the most important places from our history.However, one of the biggest problems for historic places is vandalism. People sometimes enter the sites and destroy or damage the buildings. At some sites, such as Stonehenge(巨石阵）in England, governments have built high fences to protect the site from vandals.There are many different ideas about how to solve the problem of vandalism. Stone experts say that if guards patrolled the sites, vandals would not be able to get in. Some experts say that if they fixed more television cameras, they would not need so many guards. Other experts say that the best solutionis education. If people learned to respect history, they would not destroy or damage it. They would also want to spend money looking after old places. For this reason, the World Heritage Organization helps to spread information about the value of historic sites.1. Why did countries all over the world unite to form the World Heritage Organization?A. It would be able to keep our history.B. It would be possible to take care of important historic places.C. They would have money to do some repairs if a monument needed help.D. All of the above.2. Which of the following shows us the action of vandalism?A. People enter the sites and cause damage to the buildingsB. Governments build high fences to protect the site from vandalsC. Guards patrolled the sites and they fixed more television camerasD. They collect as much money as they can to preserve the buildings3. What’s the best way to solve the biggest problem of preserving our history?A. Every country spends more money looking after these placesB. To form the World Heritage OrganizationC. Too many guards are needed to prevent vandals getting inD. To make people know more about the value of historic sites4. The private automobile (私家车）has long played an important role in the United States. In fact, it has become a necessary and important part of the American way of life. In 1986, sixty-nine percent of American families owned at least one car, and thirty-eight percent had more than one. By giving workers rapid transportation, the automobile has freed them from having tolive near their place of work. This has encouraged the growth of the cities, but it has also led to traffic problems.For farm families the automobile is very helpful. It has made it possible for them to travel to town very often for business and for pleasure, and also to transport their children to distant schools.Family life has been affected（影响）in various ways. The car helps to keep families together when it is used for picnics, outings, and other shared experiences. However, when teenage children have the use of the car, their parents can’t keep an eye on them. There is a great danger if the driver has been drinking alcohol or taking drugs, or showing off by speeding or breaking down traffic laws. Mothers of victims（受害者）of such accidents have formed an organization called MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). These women wantto prevent further tragedies (悲剧）. They have worked to encourage the government to limit the youngest drinking age. Students have formed a similar organization, SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving) and are spreading the same message among their friends.For many Americans the automobile is a necessity. But for some, it is also a mark of social position and for young people, a sign of becoming an adult. Altogether, cars mean very much to Americans.1. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?A. Cars have encouraged the growth of the cities.B. Cars can bring families together when they go for picnics.C. Cars have enabled people to live far from their place of work.D. Cars help city families to transport their children to faraway schools.2. What has been done to deal with the problem of drunk driving?A. Parents have paid more attention to their children.B. Some organizations have been set up against drunk driving.C. Mothers have tried to persuade their children not to drink alcohol.D. University students have asked the government to solve the problem.3. We can infer from the text that ______________ in America.A. it will be more difficult for people to get new carsB. parents will not allow their children to have their own carsC. the government will encourage people to use public transportationD. cars will still be popular though they have caused many problems二、七选五5. How to Be an Effective Member of a TeamWorking in a team can be rewarding, but at times it can be difficult. To create a successful team, effective communication methods are necessary. Here we’ve outlined some ways to avoid some common team mistakes as well as some helpful advice.Communicate1. Letting bad feelings brew（酝酿）will only make you feel bad and want to isolate yourself from the group. Not only does it feel good to get the bad feelings out, but it will be better for the team in the long run.2.People in your group will lose respect for you if you’re constantly blaming others for not meeting deadlines. Group members understand if you have a heavy workload and aren’t able to meet a deadline. Saying something like, “I’mreally sorry, but I’ll get it to you by the end of today.” will earn you a lot more respect than trying to make it seem like it’s everyone else’s fault that you missed your deadline.Support group member’s ideasIf a teammate suggests something, always consider it! 3. And this makes you a good team member. After all, nobody likes a know-it-all.Listen ActivelyLook at the person who’s speaking to you, nod, ask questions and acknowledge what’s said by paraphrasing points that have been made. If you’re unclear about something that’s been said, ask for more information to clear up any confusion before moving on. Effective communication is a vital part of any team. 4. .Get InvolvedShare suggestions, ideas, solutions and proposals with your team members. Take the time to help your fellow teammates. You can guarantee there will be a time in the future when you’ll need some help or advice. 5. .A. Don’t Blame OthersB. Avoid showing offC. Thus, the value of good listening skills shouldn’t be ignored.D. Have faith that people will recognize when good work is being done.E. If you have a problem with someone in your group, talk to him about itF. And if you’ve helped them in the past, they’ll be more than happy to lend a helping hand.G. Considering the group’s ideas shows you’re interested in other people’s ideas, not just your own.三、完形填空6. My watch broke a few days ago, which made me sad.
