2019湖南麓山国际实验学校新高二第一次暑假作业卷【含答案及解析】姓名___________ 班级____________ 分数__________一、阅读理解1. Low-Cost Gifts for Mother’s DayGift No. IOffer to be your mother's health friend. Promise to be there for any and all doctors’ visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up. Most mothers always say "no need," but another set of eyes and ears is always a good idea at a doctor's visit. The best part? This one is free.Gift No. 2Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information. Put them all in one place. Be sure to make a list of all of her medicines and what times she takes them. "Having all this information in one place could end up saving your mother's life," Dr. Marie Savard said.Gift No. 3Enough sleep is connected to general health conditions. "Buy your mother cotton sheets and comfortable pillows to encourage better sleep," Savard said. "We know that good sleep is very important to our health."Gift No. 4Some gift companies such as Presents for Purpose allow you to pay it forward this Mother's Day by picking gifts in which 10 percent of the price you pay goes to a charity (慈善机构). Gift givers can choose from a wide variety of useful but inexpensive things — many of which are "green" — and then choose a meaningful charity from a list. When your mother gets the gift, she will be told that she has helped the chosen charity.1.What are you advised to do for your mother at doctor's visits?A. Take notes.B. Buy medicine.C. Be with herD. Give her gifts.2.Where can you find a gift idea to improve your mother’s sleep?A. In Gift No. 1.B. In Gift No. 2.C. In Gift No. 3.D. In Gift No. 4.3.Buying gifts from Presents for Purpose allows mothers to ______ .A. enjoy good sleepB. be well-organizedC. get extra supportD. give others help2. Both are so much related to each other. And both are so dissimilar! Whatare the differences between friendship and love? Is platonic(理想的)friendship possible between persons of opposite sex? Let us try and understand. What is friendship? Why do we call a person our friend? When do we call someone a very good friend? If we care for a person, if we are always ready to help that person and if we share most of our thoughts with a person, they are our good friends. We can always count upon our good friends in an emergency. We are always sure that our friend will understand why we acted in a certain way. We need not explain anything to our very good friends. The friendship is so deep and the relationship is so close, that most of the things are automatically understood by our friends.What about love? In a relationship of deep love, all the sharing that we discussed above are taken for granted. But love transcends(胜过,超越) all these. During love, we are attached with a particular person, while in friendship, one may have many friends. A loving relationship makes one so much attached to the other, that one gets pained if his/her beloved is hurt! Love also involves a physical element. Friendship does not have that. This is avital difference. Nature gives us love so that the species can go forward. Nature does not give us friendship.Your heart beats will never increase in expectation of meeting your friend. You will not lie awake at night thinking about your friend. You will not feel totally lost, if you don't meet your friend for a few days. You will not have dreams in your eyes thinking about your friend. But in love, you will do all these and much more. Indeed, there is no comparison between love and friendship.1.What's the function of the first passage?A.To come up with the question for the further discussion.B.To explain the main idea of the following passage.C.To tell us the whole meaning of the passage.D.To advise us to make friends in different way.2.How do you do to make real friends?A.You should give others your everything.B.You should share, help and understand each other.C.You should have the same interests in everything.D.Friend in need is a friend indeed.3.If you are friends, you'll ________.A. dream of him at nightB.lie awake at night and think your friendC.feel you don't meet him for a long timeD. never feel excited meeting your friend4.The writer gives us the article to ________.A.tell us the meaning of love and friendship.B.tell us relationship between friends and relatives.C.tell us the difference between love and friendship.D.tell us how to get friendship and love.3. I never thought I would have a life - changing experience at Wal - Mart. Although my thoughts were only on speed, the checkout line I was standing in wasn't moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier. There stood a man in his seventies, wearing glasses and a nice smile. I thought, well, he's an old guy! For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before scanning the items. Sure, his words were the usual, “How's it going?” But he did something different—he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in a brief conversation.I thought it was odd. I had grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit. After a while, you don'tgive any thought to the question and just mumble something back. I could say, “I just found out I have six months to live,” and someone would reply, “Have a great day!” But that wasn't the end.He gave them the change, walked around the counter, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. He looked the customers in the eyes. “I surely want to thank you for shopping here today,” he told them. “You have a great day. Bye - bye.”The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. There were smiles and some sheepish grins. All had been touched by his simple gesture—and in a place they never expected. They would gather their things and walk out, smiling.Of course, he did the same to me and I got to know his name, Marty.Who was that guy? It was as if Sam Walton had come back from the dead and invaded this old guy's body. I had never walked away from that shop feelinglike that.1.According to the writer, when common people ask y ou “How's it going?” , ________ .A.they don't really care what you may answerB.they are just practicing their conversation abilityC.they are inquiring about your private informationD.they don't expect to hear any negative answers2.What was most customers' reaction to Marty's behaviors?A.They thought it priceless. B.They were in some way moved. C.They thought it awful and odd. D.They felt somewhat offended.3.What can we infer about Sam Walton?A.He might be Marty's father or grandfather.B.He might be friendly and devoted to Wal - Mart.C.He might have died while working in the market.D.He might have come back from the dead once before.4.What does the writer intend to express through the text?A.Our everyday life is always full of surprises.B.Most customers enjoy being treated this way.C.Being different is a good way of doing business.D.A little positive action can make a big difference.4. While 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 inlarge 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 comes the tomato “sauce”—a mix of tomato powder, oil and water and finally, a protein slice that resembles cheese.While the video doesn’t show the baking process, the inventor says that once the pizza is printed, it can be ready to be consumed (消耗) 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 stillhas 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!1.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.2.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 profits3.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 decades4.What’s the best title of the passage?A. NASA is trying its best to help astronauts eat better .B. Astronauts may soon be able to enjoy steaming hot pizza .C. NASA is working on making pizza for common people .D. A 3-D pizza printer has been used to make pizza .二、七选五5. 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。

According to the passage, you should be____ with the customers.A. pleasedB. strictC. friendlyD. carefulCThe children at the top of the class succeed by knowing a few basic skills that others can easily learn. According to the education experts and students themselves,. here are the secrets of top students.Study is the first thing. Once the books are open or the computer is on, phone calls are unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks unnoticed. Study is business; business comes before everything.Study anywhere or everywhere. Study times are different for different children. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others wake early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school. However, all agree that consistency (.持之以恒) is needed.Get organized. Don't waste time looking for a pencil or missing paper. Keep everything right where one can put one's hands on it. Even for a student who doesn't keep his own study area organized, a bag or a drawer is needed to put things in to save time.Learn how to read. The secret of good reading is to be an active reader—one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the writer's message.Use your time best. Even the best students put off their work sometimes. But when that happens, they face it. "If you want to be at the top, make sure to finish the work on time. " says Christi Anderson, a top student at Lyman High School.Take good notes and use them. Reading the text is important, but the teacher is going to test you on what he or she emphasized (强调). That's what you find in your notes.Another kind of important "secret" of the top students is not so secret at all. For almost all of them, their parents' help is important.8. According to the third paragraph, as students, we should all________.A. study late into nightB. study in the early morningC study in our favorite time with consistency D. study as soon as we get home9. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us________to save time for study.A. to look for our stationeryB. to organize ourselves into groupsC to keep everything in hand D. to get everything organized10. How can we be an active reader?A. Take good notes.B. Ask questions continually.C Study everywhere. D. Arrange our time well.11. According to the writer, the real secret in becoming a top student lies in .A. the good teachersB. the good education expertsC some basic learning skills D. the parents’ helpDImagine this: a television screen has the size and thickness of a piece of paper. You carry it around in your pocket and take it out when you want to watch a show. Imagine a guitar so tiny that you can't see it with the human eye, but you can hear sound when its strings are pulled.Nanotechnology(纳米技术) is the science that deals with doing things in a very small way, and it is being studied and developed all over the world. Many scientists say nanotechnology will produce the next industrial revolution (工业革命).Perhaps nanotechnology will have the biggest influence on medical science. Imagine nanobots (纳米机器人) in medicine. Thousands or even millions of tiny machines can be sent into the human body with specific tasks. For example, they can be designed to find and destroy cancer cells or viruses(病毒). Other machines may stay in the human body forever to help organs(器官) that are not working properly.When could all of these happen? Scientists predict that most of these are possible in the next 30 years. Thousands of scientists around the world are working on these micro-machines. Nanotechnology is just around the corner.12. The two examples in Paragraph 1 are used to_________.A. introduce the smallest televisionB. introduce a new kind of guitarC. introduce the topic of the passageD. show how small the world is13. Nanotechnology_________.A. will cause an industrial revolutionB. deals with things in old waysC. has studied the whole worldD. was developed many years ago14. The underlined word "they" in the third paragraph refers to(指代) "_________"•A. scientistsB. human bodiesC. specific tasksD. tiny machines15. The underlined phrase "around the corner" in the last sentence means "_________".A. far awayB. at presentC. in the near futureD. impossible第二节七选五(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。

But not Amber Miller, who set off to run the Chicago Marathon while expecting her second child any day. As she neared the final stage of the race, she began to feel p ain in the stomach. But the determined athlete managed to cr oss the finish line in 6 hours and 25 minutes. Unbelievably, the Chicago race was not even baby June's firs t marathon — Miller ran the Wisconsin Marathon earlier this y ear, four months pregnant. She also ran another marathon wh en she was about four months pregnant with her son, Caleb. Although there was extra weight, the seasoned runner's time was just 3 hours off her personal best.Miller began to feel pain near the end of the race, but she was not sure if it was labor (分娩), because she typically feels some pain when she runs while pregnant.

The Picture House is the world's first paybyphoto restaurant—you order, click a photo of the food, share on Instagram and e at for free!The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant(巨人) Birds Eye, who came up with the idea to cash in on peopl e's addiction to photographing food and sharing the pictures o nline. They conducted a survey and found that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals. So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dini ng range.The popup diner was open in Soho, London forthree days in May, and is now moving to other major UK cities . They serve twocourse meals that customers don't have to pa y for, if they photo and Instagram it.The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye's “Food for Life” campaig n, a new marketing project that aims at changing the way peo ple look at frozen food.“Takingphotos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special,” said marketing director M argaret Jobling.The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far.

ALong ago a Native American chief named Shenandoah lived with his tribes(部落)in what is now the state of Virginia. Little is known about Shenandoah, but in some way, the soft sound of his name was given to a river. The Shenandoah River still flows in a deep valley between the Allegheny and Blue Ridge Mountains, just as it did when Chief Shenandoah lived. It is a slow moving river, soft and as beautiful as its name. Some word experts who believe the word “Shenandoah” means “spruce river”because the waters of the river run through great forests of spruce trees(云杉). Andthis explanation could be correct.However, there is an old Native American story which is far more beautiful than that of the experts. Centuries before Europeans came to the New World, there was a great lake of blue water hidden in the mountains of Virginia. For hundreds of years, Native American tribes lived near this lake, feeding on the fish from its clean waters. The Native Americans often climbed up the mountains and camped there during their long hunts for food. In the evenings they sat near their camp and looked down at the beautiful lake.On a clear, starry night you could see thousands of stars shining and dancing on the water below. The Native Americans loved this lake, and because they could see the stars in it, they called the lake, “Clear Daughter of the Stars.” In their language, the word for this was “Shenandoah.”One day the lake started to disappear. Its water ran out of the valley, through a break in the mountain side. The waters ran on and on until they joined another river known as the Potomac. At last, the lake was gone. In its place was only a river. It is the beautiful Shenandoah River today.However, the word Shenandoah becomes well known to people because someone wrote a song about it some years ago.“Shenandoah” is perhaps one of America’s most recognizable folk songs. Some say the song refers to the river. Others say it is about the daughter of Chief Shenandoah. Regardless of what the song is about, "Shenandoah" remains an American classic.“O2 Shenandoah, I love your daughter, Away you rolling river; O Shenandoah, I love your daughter, Away I'm bound to go, 'Cross the wide Missouri …”1. According to the text, “ Shenandoah” may be the following EXCEPT______.A. “spruce river”B. the PotomacC. “Clear Daughter of the Stars”D. an Americ an chief’s name2. “ Shenandoah” is familiar to Americans mostly because of ______.A. pure and refreshing waterB. a great historical characterC. an American classic songD. the mysterious disappearance of a lake3. The most suitable title of the passage is ______.A. Shenandoah and Its Native American RootsB. An American Chief’s Romantic TaleC. The Mystery of a Missing LakeD. A Beautiful American SongBAmericans love peanut butter. The average child will eat 1,500 peanut butter before he or she graduates high school. But there is a controversy over a new peanut butter. It is called STEEM Peanut Butter. This peanut butter adds a new ingredient: caffeine. Coffee is a popular morning drink because it has caffeine and gives people energy in the morning. Even small amounts of caffeine can be dangerous to children.United States Senator(参议员) Charles Schumer says.“Peanut butter, one of thesnacks most closely connected with children, might have to be stored in the medicine cupboard rather than in the kitchen cupboard. This will shock the Food and Drug Administration.” Schumer wants the U.S. FDA to investigate. He observed that earlier the FDA prevented plans for a caffeinated chewing gum.STEEM, the manufacturer, said, “We are selling the caffeinated peanut butter all over the world. The product provides caffeine in an easily digestible way. Caffeinated foods have been sold in U.S. stores for well over a decade and are in no way a new idea. Customers tell us they want to eat the caffeinated peanut butter so they don’t have to drink as much coffee or energy drinks. The peanut butter is not intended for children.”“Peanut butter has been a favorite of children for generations,” Schumer continued: “Parents across the country have to worry about a scene in which theirchild might unknowingly bite into a peanut butter that contains more caffeine than two cups of coffee.”The American Academy of Pediatrics says caffeine in small amounts can help the physical performance of adults. But the academy urges parents not to allow children to take even small amounts of caffeine owing to caffeine’s possible negative effects on a child’s heart and brain development.4. There is a controversy over the STEEM Peanut Butter because it contains ______.A. fatB. peanutC. caffeineD. nutrition5. Charles Schumer suggests that the new peanut butter should be ______.A. kept in the kitchen cupboardB. out of children’s reachC. manufactured in huge quantitiesD. eaten by children for generations6. According to STEEM, the new peanut butter is popular with adults because______.A. it is a traditional foodB. it is digested more easilyC. its production is not bannedD. they eat it instead of energy drinks7. We can guess from the text that the responsibility of the Food and Drug Administration is to______.A. introduce new foods and drugsB. promote the sales of foods and drugsC. guarantee the safety of foods and drugsD. improve the physical performance of adultsCState media Guangming Daily published an article on March 28 blaming the game for “distorting history.” The article claimed that, despite using many famous names from Chinese history, "King of Glory" completely misrepresented the figures’ true stories and status.According to the newspaper, famous poet Li Bai from the Tang Dynasty became an assassin (刺客), while noted doctor Bian Que from the Spring and AutumnPeriod was cast as an expert on poison. More than 60 characters in the game were characters from history, including many from the classic novel “Romance of the Three Kingdoms.”“They (the characters in the game) not only travel through time and space to fight together, but also take on historical figures’ names with no connec tion at all to their experiences in history,” the newspaper argued, adding that this characteristic could easily confuse young players. Some 54 percent of the game’s players are aged between 11 and 20, the newspaper added.“King of Glory” is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game designed by Tencent Games. It was launched in 2015. In 2016, the total profit of the gamereached nearly 7 billion RMB, some 18 percent of the total profit for mobile gaming in China.The Guangming Daily article was met with significant support and approval. Some people pointed to online search results for the historical figures, which increasingly provide information about the characters in the game rather than the real historical figures.However, some hit back at the criticism, arguing that games are supposed to be creative, and that “King of Glory” doesn’t claim to be set in any specific historical period.“I am aware that there are many young players, some even in primary school. Some might be affected by the game in certain ways, but it can do a lot of good if students become interested in the characters and do more research to that end,” one “King of Glory” player told the People’s Daily Online.8. What does the underlined word “distorting” in paragragh 1 mean?A. R eflecting.B. Recording.C. Twisting.D.Creating.9. Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. About half of the game’s players range from11 to 20 in age.B. In 2016 the total profit for mobile games in China amounts to about 39billion RMB.C. You may get information about the assassin Li Bai in the game through asearch engine.D. Many young players become interested in the historical figures through thegame.10. W hat is the author’s main purpose of writing the passage?A. To explain why the game is popular.B. To present that the game has become a target for criticism.C. To convince people that the game is distorting history.D. To introduce the game to the public.11. W hat’s the author’s attitude towards the game?A. Objective.B. Doubtful.C. Favorable.D.Disapproving.DSoaping up your hands may do more than just get rid of bacteria. It may wash away the inner stress you feel right after being forced to make a choice between two attractive choices, according to a new study. The study builds on the past research into a phenomenon known as “the Macbeth effect”. It turns out that Shakespeare was really onto something when he imagined Lady Macbeth trying to clean herconscience by rubbing (擦) invisible bloodstains (血迹) from her hands in his tragedy Macbeth.A few years ago, scientists asked people to describe a past wrong act. If people were then given a chance to clean their hands, they later expressed less guilty than people who hadn’t cleaned.This finding interested W. S. Lee, a researcher, “anything from the past, any kind of negative emotional experiences might be washed away,” says Lee.He decided to test hand washing’s effect on one kind of bad feeling: the stress we feel after being forced to choose between two attractive choices, because picking one choice makes us feel that we’ve lost the other.People usually try to calm this inner conflict by later exaggerating(夸大) the positive aspects of their choice.He had students rank 10 different music CDs. Then he offered students two of the CDs and told them to select one as a gift. Some students then used liquid soap. Others only looked at the soap or sniffed it. “Actually, you do not need water and soap,” says Lee.Later, the students again had to rank all the music CDs. Peo ple who didn’t wash their hands had the normal response—they scored their take-home CD higher, suggesting that they now saw it as an even more attractive one than before. But this wasn’t true for the hand washers. They ranked the music about the same.“The y feel no need at all to justify the choice,” says Lee.But Lee also says it’s too soon to know whether people should head for a sink after making a tough choice. He says washing may help decision-makers by cleaning away mental disorder. But perhaps if the y don’t go through the usual post-decision process of justifying their choice, they might feel more sorrow in the long run.12. What is true about “the Macbeth effect”?A. Shakespeare used to wash his hands before writing Macbeth.B. Macbeth knew about the importance of cleaning hands.C. People feel less ashamed after washing their hands.D. Lady Macbeth had a habit of washing hands.13. I n Lee’s experiment, those who didn’t wash their hands after making a choice_______ ___.A. felt regretful about their choiceB. valued their choice more than beforeC. wished they had washed their handsD. didn’t care about their choice14. A ccording to Lee, those hand washers ____________.A. will surely feel more sorrow in the long runB. tend to exaggerate the positive side of their choiceC. will never regret their choiceD. consider justifying their choice unnecessary15. W hat is the best title of the text?A. Benefits of Washing Your HandsB. Importance of Justifying Your ChoiceC.Washing Away Your StressD. How to Reduce Choice Anxiety第二节(共5 小题;每小题1.5 分,满分7.5 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。
2023-2024学年湖南省长沙市麓山国际实验学校高二上学期第一次月考英语试题Risks at Your TableSome of the “everyday foods” we eat hide some unhealthy features, which most people ignore. We take a look at some of the health risks being served to you!Energy DrinksYou’re tired and you still have to face a physical or mental stress, so what a better friend than an energy drink to overcome the effort? However, most energy drinks contain chemicals that are harmful if taken in quantities, with effects that are similar to the ones from several other illegal drugs, smoking and alcohol consumption.White BreadWhite bread is poorer in fiber and protein than other bread alternatives. Fiber helps our body to understand when it h as eaten enough. The sense of fullness is important if we don’t want an extra-consumption of calories.Breakfast CerealsBreakfast cereals(麦片) fill out lots of shelves in every supermarket you get inside. They’re one of the favorite foods for our first mea l of the day, because they’re simply delicious. What many people are not aware of is that these products are loaded with GM(转基因) organisms which affect our immune system. If you really can’t separate yourselves from breakfast cereals, maybe you could start considering some organic breakfast cereal alternatives.Fat-Free FoodsFat-free foods may look like the gold mine for a perfectly balanced and satisfying diet, but the reality is widely different. Fats are essential for many body functions and for its healthy development. A fat-cut is not advisable, especially when your workouts are regular.

Alexandra Nechita was born in Romania in 1985 and moved to California when she was still a baby. As a little child, she loved colouring in her colouring books. Her parents hoped she could spend more time playing with other children, so they took away her colouring books. Alexandra began drawing her own pictures and colouring them in.By the time Alexandra was seven years old, she had begun painting with oil paints. When Alexandra to ok a local art class, her teacher was amazed at the young artist’s unusual style of painting. Alexandra’s work was similar in some ways to the paintings by famous artists like Picasso. These artists did not use a realistic style of painting. They allowed their imaginations to play an important part in their work. The interesting thing was that little Alexandra had never seen the work of these artists. People called her “Little Picasso”. This was a great honour, but Alexandra’s style of painting was all her own.Alexandra’s first public show was held at a Los Angeles public library when she was only eight years old. People were amazed at how young Alexandra was, but mostly they loved her imaginative artwork. It did not take long for Alexandra and her work to become famous. She appeared on television programmes and in newspapers and magazines all over the world. The sale of a single piece can earn the young artist thousands of dollars. But that is not why Alexandra creates artwork. She just cannot imagine doing anything else that would bring her such joy and satisfaction. Today, Alexandra is a full-time artist.

It is absolutely the case in Turkey where garbage collectors started collecting books that have been thrown away and ended up opening a library.It started when garbage man Durson Ipek found a bag of abandoned books when he was working and then it snowballed from there. Ipek and other garbage men started gathering the books they found on the streets that were ready for landfills (垃圾填埋地) and as their collection started to grow, so did word of mouth. Soon, local residents started donating books directly. The library was initially available only to the garbage employees and their families to use but as the collection grew, so did public interest and the library was opened to the public in 2017.“On the one hand, there were thos e who were leaving these books on the streets. On the other hand, others were looking for these books,” Ankaya mayor Alper Tasdelen told CNN. “We started to discuss the idea of creating a library from these books. When everyone supported it, this projecth appened.”All the books that are found are sorted and checked for condition. If they pass, they go on the shelves. Today, the library has over 6,000 books that range from fiction to nonfiction and there’s a very popular children’s section that even has a c ollection of comic books. An entire section is devoted to scientific research and there are also books available in English and French. The collection has grown so large that the library loans books to schools and educational programs. “Village school teachers from all over Turkey are requesting books,” Tasdelen told CNN. The government has to hire a full-time employee to manage the library.This library is incredibly popular. It is frequently filled with the children of the city’s workers and students from nearby schools. There is a waiting room set up for readers and chess boards for the people who visit the library.

It’s the latest flight to help open up access to space for paying customers. The trip has been paid for by US billionaire businessman Jared Isaacman, who will travel with three crewmates (机组同事). A healthcare worker, a science educator and a data analyst will circle the Earth with Mr. Isaacman for three days. They hope to inspire others with their adventure and to raise money for children’s cancer medicine. Accordingly, the mission has been named Inspiration 4.The crew’s Dragon vehicle, made by Elon Musk’s company Space X, will ride a Falcon-9 rocket. It is due to launch from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center at 20:02 EDT on Wednesday, or very shortly after. The spacecraft will reach an altitude of 575km, which is about 150km higher than the International Space Station (ISS). The four will then spend their time doing experiments and looking at Earth through a large domed (圆顶状的) window which offers panoramic views of the whole planet.The mission follows hot on the heels of Sir Richard Branson’s flight aboard his Virgin Galactic rocket plane on 11 July, and fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos’s trip to space nine days later in the New Shepard vehicle. The glass dome has been fitted in place of the mechanism that Dragon normally uses to dock (对接) with the ISS, which isn’t needed on this flight.In the 60 years since Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin first went into space, fewer than 600 people have followed in his footsteps, and most of those have been military-trained personnel flying on government-sponsored missions. Inspiration 4 is different. It’ll be a fully commercially purchased and operated orbital flight. NASA helped fund the development of a lot of the technology used by Elon Musk’s company, and did so to try to diversify the economy in low-Earth orbit.12. Why is the mission called Inspiration 4 according to paragraph 1?A.To promote the space tourism industry.B.To highlight the huge expenses of the space trip.C.To claim the commercial benefits of space adventures.D.To inspire people and collect money for medical treatment.13. What can we learn about the great mission?A.Its crew members are mostly military trainees.B.The launch schedule is to be further confirmed.C.It is to be made nine days after Jeff Bezos’ space trip.D.A glass dome will be fitted to replace the mechanism to join the ISS.14. What is the function of the “large domed window” according t o paragraph 2?A.It ensures the success of the mission.B.It enables the crew to observe surrounding planets.C.The crew can get a full view of the earth through it.D.The crew can take advantage of it to do experiments.15. What is the passage mainly about?A.A commercially paid orbital flight.B.The diversity of space exploration.C.The development of space technology.D.A space tour on government-sponsored missions.Cyber-bullying (网络欺凌) may take place in the online world, but it is no less damaging than in the real world. The Internet has become a kindness desert, a place where few flowers bloom. Bullying is pretty common. 16 According to those bullied, they’re usually seen as being different from the crowd. They are unique.Being bullied is a frustrating and painful experience. Online bullying can really hurt others, and it can have serious consequences. 17 Some people have even committed suicide because they were harassed (侵扰) online and didn’t think it would ever stop. Here are some valuab le tips to help you address a bully and protect yourself in a safe way.Don’t blame yourself. 18 It’s only the bully’s fault, so don’t blame yourself for his or her shortcomings.Stay away from bullies. Bullies hope you interact with them so that they have an excuse to keep picking on you. When the bully starts orally attacking you, remove yourself from the situation if you can, simply by walking away.19 Try as you might to ignore the bullies when they are saying ugly things about you. Remind yourself that you are a great person and that nothing the bullies say matters.Speak out. Nobody has the right to make you feel unsafe, uncomfortable or unhappy. Find someone you can talk to, your teacher or your parent and tell them what’s going on. 20 Follow these tips and you should feel well-equipped to deal with your bullies the next time they attack.Music can make us happy, peaceful or sad.

His name was Clifford, and he had attracted a large crowd with his performance. After he finished, my friend introduced him to me and his daughter. Clifford asked her if she played any instrument. When she replied that she was taking trumpet(小号)lessons and played in her junior high school band, he said, "That's fine, little lady. Learn your instrument well and you can play anything."Somehow these simple yet wise words struck me as proper not only for a trumpet playerbut also for a reader. If you learn to read well, you can read anything you want—not just newspapers and magazines, but more difficult material like philosophy, film criticism, military history—whatever interests you as your confidence grows. You would not be limited(限制)in any way. If you have the vocabulary—or at least a good dictionary near at hand—you can pick up a book, concentrate on it, and make sense of the author's words.In the United States, reading instruction often ends at elementary school, so students sometimes have difficulty as they progress through school. They must take their assignments, armed only with their elementary school reading skills. The result, too often, is frustration and loss of confidence. And the assigned reading in your college courses will be even greater than they were in high school. Developing Reading Skills is designed to accomplish(完成)several tasks: to show you the skills that will enable you to read with greater comprehension, to help you cope with reading assignment with confidence, and to teach you to become an active reader.41.The talk between the girl and Clifford serves as an introduction to________.A.the importance of readingB.the connection between playing instruments and readingC.the necessity of learning to play an instrumentD.the variety of reading materials42.It can be inferred(推断)from the story that________.A.Clifford was good at playing the saxophoneB.the author's friend was once a street musicianC.the 12-year-old girl played the trumpet very poorlyD.Clifford was a good music teacher43.We can infer from the last paragraph that Developing Reading Skills________.A.is directed to elementary school studentsB.centers around vocabulary building skillsC.aims at helping students read betterD.offers elementary reading skills44.The underlined word "struck" in Paragraph 2 most probably means "________". A.impressed B.influenced C.proved D.awakened 45.With good reading skills, you can________.A.understand anything you read without difficultyB.work out the author's meaning only if you concentrate on the bookC.understand what you read with the help of a good dictionaryD.concentrate on whatever you readTo become a doctor in the United States, students usually attend four years of medical school after they complete college. Then these young doctors work in hospitals for several years to complete a training program called a residency(住院医生实习期).These medical residents provide hospitals with needed services in return for not much pay. They work under the supervision(管理)of medical professors and more experienced doctors. Medical residents treat patients. They carry out tests. They perform operations. They complete records. In hospitals with few nurses, residents also do work formerly done by nurses. Some medical residents work one-hundred or more hours in a single week.They often work for more than thirty-six hours at a time before they can rest.Critics(批评家)of this system say medical residents work too long and do not get enough rest. They say these young doctors may be too tired to perform their medical duties effectively. Now, the government will limit the number of hours of work that residents can work. Most doctors in training will be limited to eighty-four hours of work each week. They will have work periods of no more than twenty-four hours at one time. They will have ten hours of rest between work periods.Medical residents will have one day each week when they do not have to work. Any work they accept outside their hospitals will be limited. Experienced doctors and medical professors will closely supervise the residents to make sure they are not too tired to work.Many medical residents welcomed the work limits. Others, however, said the new policy may interfere with patient care and their own medical education.46.If a first-year college student in America wants to be a doctor, he has to wait for________.A.4 years B.8 years C.at least 10 years D.more than 20 years47.Medical residents are not responsible for________.A.supervising students B.treating patientsC.carrying patients D.doing operations48.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph means that they have to________.A.work 36 hours every week B.rest for 36 hours before they can go to workC.work continuously for 36 hours D.take a rest every 36 hours49.Why does the government limit the number of hours that residents work? A.Medical residents get too much money.B.Medical residents should go back to school to study.C.There are not enough work for nurses.D.Medical residents may make mistakes if they work too long.50.The underlined word "Others" in the last paragraph refers to________.A.some critics B.some medical professorsC.some experienced doctors D.some medical residents。
2018-2019学年湖南省长沙市岳麓区麓山国际实验学校高二(上)开学英语试卷一、阅读理解(本大题共15小题,共30.0分)AWhen we think of flavor(味道), it is our noses and tastebuds(味蕾) that we think of first. Isn't it natural that taste andsmell are the main senses when we enjoy food and drink?Well, perhaps not. "Now we are beginning to understand thatflavor depends on parts of the brain that involve not only taste,smell and touch, but vision. These signals, plus our emotionsand past experiences, result in perception(感受) of flavors, and decide whether we like or dislike foods. "Years ago, flavor was a table with two legs—taste and odor," Terry E. Acree, PhD, told National Geographic.A good example of "the first bite is taken with the eye" is that if we were shown two plates of strawberries, one red and the other pinkish, the majority of us would be attracted to red because "it signals ripeness, sweetness and calories", explained The Guardian.The findings of a German study seem to back this up. Its subjects said wine tasted 50 percent sweeter if drunk under red light, rather than under blue or white.In a study released in mid December, scientists found that the color of your coffee mug can change the way your coffee tastes, reported The Washington Post. And it is not just the color of the food that matters. Specifically, the white mug was associated with a more "intense" (or bitter) tasting cup of coffee, and the clear glass mug was not. The blue mug, meanwhile, was "kind of an intermediate(中等的)", Charles Spence, head of the research laboratory at Oxford University, told the newspaper.The opposite was true for perceived sweetness—those who took part tasted less sweetness when drinking from the white mug than they did when drinking from both the blue and clear glass mugs.It's also possible that certain colors are associated with certain experiences. In the case of coffee, the researchers believe the color brown might be something people associate with bitterness. "The white mug may have affected the perceived brownness of the coffee and this,in turn, may have affected the perceived intensity (and sweetness) of the coffee," the researchers wrote.1.The passage mainly discusses ______.A. tasting with eyesB. ideas about flavorC. wine and coffeeD. colors and likes2.What does the underlined word "odor" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Touch.B. Smell.C. Vision.D. Color.3.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. Colors and experiences.B. Brown and white.C. Interest and research.D. Bitterness and sweetness.BJohnny Smith was a good math student at a high school.He loved his computer.He came home early every day,then he worked with it till midnight.But Johnny was not a good English student,not good at all.He got an F in his English class.One day after school Johnny joined his computer to the computer in his high school office.The school office computer had the grades of all the students:the math grades,the science grades,the grades in arts and music,and the grades in English.He found his English grade.An F!Johnny changed his English grade from an F to A.Johnny'parents looked at his report card.They were very happy."An A in English!"said Johnny's Dad."You're a very clever boy,Johnny."Johnny is a hacker.Hackers know how to take information from other computers and put new information in.Using a modem,they join their computers to other computers secretly.School headmasters and teachers are worried about hackers.So are the police,for some people even take money from bank computer account and put it into their own ones.And they never have to leave home to do it!They are called hackers.4.Johnny changed his English grade with the computer in ______ .A. the classroomB. the school officeC. a bank near his houseD. his own house5.When Johnny's parents saw the report,they were happy because ______ .A.

The same problem, on a smaller scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs. There can be little prospect of raising the sort of sums needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally unwilling to provide money on a permanent basis for long-term projects. So companies turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits. They do this by issuing stocks (发行股票) and shares in the business through The Stock Exchange (证券交易所). By doing so they can put into circulation the savings of individuals and institution, both at home and overseas. When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom he originally placed it. Instead, he sells his shares to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money.Without hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, railways, this country could not function. All these require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly, requiring more money than is raised through taxes alone. The government, local authorities, and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to The Stock Exchange. There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose job or whose standard of living does not depend on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development. In one way or another this new money must come from the savings of the country. The Stock Exchange exists to provide a channel through which these savings can reach those who need finance.8.Generally speaking, those companies involved in new production and long-term projectmust ______.A. borrow large sums of money from friends and people they knowB. depend on the population as a whole for financeC. ask the banks to lend them moneyD. rely on their own financial resources9.The people are willing to lend money to those companies because those companies______.A. repay them as soon as possibleB. sell the shares in the companies to themC. distribute the future profits to themD. both B and C10.When the savers want their money back they ______.A. go to the company with whom they originally placed their money and sell their sharesB. ask another company to obtain their sharesC. put their shares back on the marketD. sell their shares back on the market11.The Stock Exchange exists ______.A. to provide for any needy companiesB. to raise money for governments onlyC. because it is useful to new developmentD. because people are rich and have much savingsDIs it possible that the sinking of the Titanic was caused by a ghost?A plot of the story below is true …but did it really happen quite like this?Our story begins not in the icy cold waters of the North Atlantic,but rather thousands of miles away in Egypt.It is here,perhaps,that we can find the start of the mystery (谜)of the Titanic,in the year 1910,in the great city of Cairo.One day,a famous professor of Egyptian history called Douglas Murray was staying in Cairo,when he was contacted by an American adventurer.The American had something unusual to offer Murray,something that was certain to thrill him:a beautiful ancient Egyptian mummy case,containing the mummy of an Egyptian queen.It was over 3,000 years old,but in beautiful condition - gold,with bright paintings on it.Murray was delighted with both the object and the askingprice.He gave the man a chequeimmediately.The cheque was never cashed.That evening the American adventurer died.For his part,Murray arranged to have the treasure sent back to Britain.However,it was not long before he learnt more about the beautiful mummy case:On the walls of the tomb in which it had been discovered,there were messages which warned of terrible consequences to anyone who broke into the tomb.Murray was disbelieving of these warnings until a few days later,when a gun he was holding exploded in his hand,shattering his arm.The arm had to be cut off.After the accident,Murray decided to return to his homeland.On the return journey,two of his companions died mysteriously,and two servants who had handled the mummy also passed away.The nowterrified Murray decided he would get rid of the cursed case as soon as he arrived in London.A lady he knew named Janet Jones said she would like it,so he gave it to her.Shortly afterwards,Jones' mother died,and she herself caught a strange disease.She tried returning the mummy,but naturally Murray refused it.In the end,it was presented to the British Museum.Even in the museum,the mummy apparently continued to cause strange events.A museum photographer died shortly after taking pictures of the new exhibit,and a manager also died for no apparent reason.In the end,the British Museum decided to get rid of the mummy too.They sold it to a collector in New York.At the start of April 1912,arrangements for the transfer were complete,and the mummy began the journey to its new home.But the New Yorker never received the mummy or its case.For when the Titanic sank,one of the objects in its strongroom was the mummy case.Or so they say.12.In Paragraph 5,the underlined word "cursed" is closest in meaning to ______ .A. forgottenB. uncommonC. expensiveD. unlucky13.In what order did the following events occur?______a.The case was given to the British Museum.b.Janet Jones caught a mysterious illness.c.Murray's arm was cut off.d.The mummy case was sold to an American.e.A man who took a picture of the case died.f.Warnings were written on the tomb's walls.A. f,c,b,a,e,dB. c,f,b,a,e,dC. d,f,b,c,a,eD. f,a,c,b,e,d14.What is the main purpose of this passage?______A.

It wasn’t the first timeI had been abroad. Like most English children, I learned Fren ch at school. I had often been to France, so I was used to spe aking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand Fre nch. But when I went to America, I was really looking forward to having a nice and easy holiday without any language probl ems.How wrong I was! The misunderstandings began at the airpor t. I was looking for a public telephone to give my American frie nd Daisy a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old m an saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me. "Yes, "I said, "I want to give my friend a ring. ""Well, that's nice, "he said.” Are you getting married? But are n't you a bit young? ""Who is talking about marriage?" I replied. "I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I've a rrived. Can you tell me where there's a phone box?""Oh! " he said. "There's a phone downstairs. "When at last we met, Daisy explained the misunderstandin g to me."Don't worry, "she said to me.” I had so many difficulties at first.There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from the British. You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time, British and American people understand each other!"9、Where was the writer from?A. He was from America.B. He was from France.C.

In the last paragraph the underlined word "they" refers to ______.A. the old man and the boyB. the AmericansC. the BritishD. the FrenchDThe food we eat seems to have a great effect on our health. A lthough science has made big steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. S ome research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of huma n illness is related to food and forty percent of cancer is relate d to food as well. That food is related to illness is not a new di scovery. In 1945, some researchers realized that things commonly used to keep colors in meats and other food additives(添加剂) caused cancer.Yet, these additives remain in our food, and it is difficult to kno w which things on the wrappings of foods are helpful or harmf ul. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers of ten give penicillin to their animals, and because of this, penicil lin has been found in the milk of cows. Sometimes similar thin gs are supplied to animals not for their health, but just to mak e a profit.The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market. Although some countries ha ve tried to control such things, the practice continues.13. According to this passage, we can know _____.A. perhaps most of human illness is caused by what we eatB. perhaps most kinds of cancer are related to what people e atC. cancer was discovered in 1945D. science has made food unfit to eat14.

Farmers try to make more money on the market by fattening their animals.C. "The practice continues" means "things are still going on lik e that".D. We needn't take care of what we eat.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够填入空白处的最佳选项。

ARestaurants in the USASteve’s PizzaSo many pizza chains compete for the attention of tourists i n South Beach, but ask a Miami Beach local where to get the best pizza and they’ll tell you about Steve’s. This is New York –style pizza, handmade with care and good ingredients (成份). New branches of Steve’ s are opening elsewhere in Miam i, all in non-tourist areas.Opening hours: 11am-3amCattleman’s SteakhouseThis place is 20 miles east of the city, but local folks would probably drive 200 miles to eat here. The food is good, and th e scenery is even better. Come early and wander around the grounds of Indian Cliffs Ranch, where you’ll see everything fro m rabbits to buffalo (水牛), then catch the sunset either before or after your meal.Opening hours: 5pm-10pmAbsolute Baking & CaféThe screen door is always swinging open at this town hot s pot with giant breakfasts.

Don’t miss a square of soft, fresh carrot cak e.Opening hours: 7am-2pmWalt’s WharfEverybody’s favorite for fresh fish (some drive in from LA), Walt’s packs them in on weekends. You can’t make reservatio ns for dinner (though they’re accepted for lunch), but it’s worth the wait for the tree fire-grilled seafood and steaks in the many-windowed ground floor or upstairs in captain’s chairs.Opening hours: 11am-3:30pm1.

Cattleman’s Steakhouse.BEvery week in China, millions of people will sit in front of th eir TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character He ro, which is a Chinese-style spelling bee. In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competit ion, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionari es.Perhaps the show’s popularity should not be a surprise. Alo ng with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy( 书法)to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfor tunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting h ow to write their own language without computerized help. Sof tware on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The corr ect character is chosen from a list. The result? It’s possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them. But there’s still hope for the paint brush. China’s Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to wr ite.In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft m usic plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackb oard often to study their teacher’s examples before carefully a ttempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. “If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to te ach it now?” we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. “The a bility to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and cultur e,” she reasons. “Students must learn now so they don’t forge t when they grow up.” says the teacher.4. What can we learn about the Character Hero?A. It’s open to people of all ages and all walks.B. It’s the most-viewed TV programs in China.C. It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.D. It draws great public attention across the country.5. Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the charact ers?A. Chinese people don’t refer to dictionaries very often.B. Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice callig raphy.C. Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.D. Chinese people needn’t write by hand as often with the hel p of technology.6. According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by ha nd is_________.A. necessary for adults to survive in ChinaB. a requirement made by the Education MinistryC. helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture aliveD. an ability to be developed only when you are students7. Where does this text probably come from?A. A news report.B. A science report.C. An advertisement.D. Children’s literature.CThe H1Nl virus has been spreading worldwide,it is important for us to know how to control it.Please pay att ention to the following points:1.Don’t touch your face.Above all,keep your hands away from your eyes,mouth and nose,all of which serve pathways(途径) for the viruses(病毒) to enter your body.2.Wash your hands.If you have to touch your face,wash your hands,getting under the fingernails for 20 to 30 seconds with hot soa p and water before.Soaps with surfactants(表面活性剂) can deal with flu viruses.3.Cover your nose and mouth.When someone sneezes or coughs,liquid(液体) drops with flu viruses as far as three feet through the air a nd land on your nose and mouth,so it’s best to keep at least an arm’s length distance when talk ing to someone who shows signs of infection(感染).In order to protect others,cover your mouth and nose with a tissue(纸巾) when you cough or sneeze,and clean your hands afterward.Viruses can live for hours,or even longer when on the skin or other surfaces such as ke yboards.4.Consider buying a mask in case you need it in the futur e.Some research suggests that masks reduce the risk of get ting the flu viruses by as much as 80%.But it also suggests t hat if you don’t wash hands,the mask doesn’t work well.So wash your hands and use th e mask,especially wearing face masks in crowded places is also usef ul.8.The article mainly tells ________.A.the H1N1 virus has been spreading world-wideB.how to control the H1N1 virusC.cover your nose and mouthD.everyone should buy a mask in the future9. How does the virus enter your body easily?A.Get through your mouth. B.Get through your no se.C.Get through your eyes. D.All of the above.10. What can we do with the flu viruses?A.Water B.Masks C.Soaps with surfactants D.Tissues.11.Which of the statements is Not True?A.Wash your hands before meals.B.When you cough or sneeze,you should cover your mouthC.You shouldn’t often touch your mouth,eyes and nose.D.When you put a mask,you can often go to the crowded places.DGoing green seems to be fad (时尚) for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad , we can’t really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.On April 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green thing s, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was n o easy task.With the idea of going green every single day for a year, O ur Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate peop le about how they could go green in their lives and hoped wecould show people all the green things that could be done to h elp the environment. We wanted to push the message that ev ery little bit helps.Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely change d our lifestyle. We now shop at organic(有机的)stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don’t need. We have give n away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical clean ers. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing so mething ungreen might be punished.Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and ed ucate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.12. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Celebrating Our Green Year.B. Protecting the Planet.C. Keeping Open-MindedD. Going Green.13. It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the who le year because______.A. they needed to perform unusual green tasksB. they didn’t know how to educate other peopleC. they were unwilling to reduce their energyD. they were expected to follow the green fad14. What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Yea r?A. They ignore others’ ungreen behavior.B. They tried to get out of their ungreen habits.C. They chose better chemical cleaners.D. They sold their home-made food.15. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The government will give support to the green people.B. Some people disagree with the couple’s green ideas.C. The couple may continue their project in the future.D. Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign.第二节(共5个小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文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。

ALow-Cost Gifts for Mother’s DayGift No. IOffer to be your mother's health friend. Promise to be there for any and all doctors’ visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up. Most mothers always say "no need," but another set of eyes and ears is always a good idea at a doctor's visit. The best part? This one is free.Gift No. 2Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information. Put them all in one place. Be sure to make a list of all of her medicines and what times she takes them. "Having all this information in one place could end up saving your mother's life," Dr. Marie Savard said.Gift No. 3Enough sleep is connected to general health conditions. "Buy your mother cotton sheets and comfortable pillows to encourage better sleep," Savard said. "We know that good sleep is very important to our health."Gift No. 4Some gift companies such as Presents for Purpose allow you to pay it forward this Mother's Day by picking gifts in which 10 percent of the price you pay goes to a charity (慈善机构). Gift givers can choose from a wide variety of useful but inexpensive things ---many of which are "green" --- and then choose a meaningful charity from a list. When your mother gets the gift, she will be told that she has helped the chosen charity.1. What are you advised to do for your mother at doctor's visits? ______A. Take notes.B. Buy medicine.C. Be with herD. Give her gifts.2. Where can you find a gift idea to improve your mother’s sleep? ______A. In Gift No. 1.B. In Gift No. 2.C. In Gift No. 3.D. In Gift No. 4.3. Buying gifts from Presents for Purpose allows mothers to ______A. enjoy good sleepB. be well-organizedC. get extra supportD. give others helpBBoth are so much related to each other. And both are so dissimilar! What are the differences between friendship and love? Is platonic(理想的) friendship possible between persons of opposite sex? Let us try and understand.What is friendship? Why do we call a person our friend? When do we call someone a very good friend? If we care for a person, if we are always ready to help that person and if we share most of our thoughts with a person, they are our good friends. We can always count upon our good friends in an emergency. We are always sure that our friend will understand why we acted in a certain way. We need not explain anything to our very good friends. The friendship is so deep and the relationship is so close, that most of the things are automatically understood by our friends.What about love? In a relationship of deep love, all the sharing that we discussed above are taken for granted. But love transcends(胜过,超越) all these. During love, we are attached with a particular person, while in friendship, one may have many friends. A loving relationship makes one so much attached to the other, that one gets pained if his/her beloved is hurt! Love also involves a physical element. Friendship does not have that. This is a vital difference. Nature gives us love so that the species can go forward. Nature does not give us friendship.Your heart beats will never increase in expectation of meeting your friend. You will not lie awake at night thinking about your friend. You will not feel totally lost, if you don't meet your friend for a few days. You will not have dreams in your eyes thinking about your friend. But in love, you will do all these and much more. Indeed, there is no comparison between love and friendship.4.What's the function of the first passage?A.To come up with the question for the further discussion.B.To explain the main idea of the following passage.C.To tell us the whole meaning of the passage.D.To advise us to make friends in different way.5.How do you do to make real friends?A.You should give others your everything.B.You should share, help and understand each other.C.You should have the same interests in everything.D.Friend in need is a friend indeed.6.If you are friends, you'll ________.A.dream of him at night. B.lie awake at night and think your friend. C.feel you don't meet him for a long time. D.You don't feel excited meeting your friend. 7.The writer gives us the article to ________.A.tell us the meaning of love and friendship.B.tell us relationship between friends and relatives.C.tell us the difference between love and friendship.D.tell us how to get friendship and love.CI never thought I would have a life-changing experience at WalMart.Although my thoughts were only on speed, the checkout line I was standing in wasn't moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier. There stood a man in his seventies, wearing glasses and a nice smile. I thought, well, he's an old guy! For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before scanning the items. Sure, his words were theusual, “How's it going?” But he did something different—he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in a brief conversation.I thought it was odd. I had grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit. After a while, you don't give any thought to the question and just mumble something back. I could say, “I just found out I have six months to live,” and someone would reply, “Have a great day!” But that wasn't the end.He gave them the change, walked around the counter, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. He looked the customers in the eyes. “I sure ly want to thank you for shopping here today,” he told them. “You have a great day. Byebye.”The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. There were smiles and some sheepish grins. All had been touched by his simple gesture—and in a place they never expected. They would gather their things and walk out, smiling.Of course, he did the same to me and I got to know his name, Marty.Who was that guy? It was as if Sam Walton had come back from the dead and invaded this old guy's body. I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.8.According to the writer, when common people ask you “How's it going?”A.they don't really care what you may answer.B.they are just practicing their conversation ability.C.they are inquiring about your private information.D.they don't expect to hear any negative answers.9.What was most customers' reaction to Marty's behaviors?A.They thought it priceless. B.They were in some way moved. C.They thought it awful and odd. D.They felt somewhat offended. 10.What can we infer about Sam Walton?A.He might be Marty's father or grandfather.B.He might be friendly and devoted to WalMart.C.He might have died while working in the market.D.He might have come back from the dead once before.11.What does the writer intend to express through the text?A.Our everyday life is always full of surprises.B.Most customers enjoy being treated this way.C.Being different is a good way of doing business.D.A little positive action can make a big difference.DWhile 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 bycreating a single slice of dough (面团) that is cooked and printed at the same time. Then comes the to mato “sauce”—a mix of tomato powder, oil and water and finally, a protein slice that resembles cheese. While the video doesn’t show the baking process, the inventor says that once the pizza is printed, it can be ready to be consumed (消耗) 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.
