Beehives (蜂窝)-either recorded or real-may even prevent elephants from damaging farmer's crops.In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them. Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from ea ting crops. But before she asked farmer to go to the trouble of s etting up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the b ees would scare elephants away.Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern and set up a recorder. Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burs t into life. Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry b ees had calmed down. Next，Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reser ve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in close to each family. From a distance, Lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. Out of a total of 17 groups, only o ne group ignored the sound of the angry bees. Lucy reported th at all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hi de under them. When Lucy Played the sound of a waterfall inst ead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, th e animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place.Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avo id the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times.

Maybe you though t that they were just happy．After all，you probably sing or whistle when you are happy．Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time ju st because they are happy．However，they sing most of the time for a very different reason．Their sin ging is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territ oryDo you know what a“territory”is? A territory is an area that an a nimal，usually the male，claims(声称)as its own．Only he and his family are welcome there．No o ther families of the same species(物种)are welcome．Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome．If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you，you might shout．Probably this would be enough to frighten hi m away．If so，you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fi ght him．A bird does the same thing．But he expects an outsid er almost any time，especially at nesting(筑巢) season．So he is screaming all the time，whether he can see an outsider or not .

He’d nee d a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a pas sing(短暂的) thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even re member the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confu cius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners mu st cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of .In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, t he Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually inclu ded Chinese art, history and philosophy（哲学）. Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should ta ke advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the , at the s ame time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the . Busines smen who hope to make money in are reading books about Co nfucius to understand their Chinese customers.So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.Today attracts the West more than ever, and it will need mor e teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the W est.As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people i n the West, even if his birthday is.48.

Some even win local talent competitions as children, but only a few such early successes and dreams turn into reality. Jessica Andrews is one of the few whose dreams have come true.Andrews, first taste of success came at the age of 10. She won a talent competition in her home town of Huntingdon, Tennessee, singing I Will Always Love You, originally sung by Whitney Houston. Houston's version of the song appeared on The Bodyguard sound track, which happened to be the first album Andrews ever bought.Within two years, talk of Andrews had spread to Nashville and caught the attention of producer Byron Gallimore, whose credits include work with Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and Jo Dee Messina. With Gallimore signed on to produce, Andrews soon had a recording contract (合同)with Dream Works' Nashville label. Andrews' professional career was launched with 1999's Heart Shaped World, recorded when she was 14 years old.

My parents told me that there were no presents because Santa was very angry with my behavior over the past year. The next year on Christmas Eve I slept downstairs with a plastic sword waiting for Santa to make sure that he didn't steal the new TV. The next morning, when I woke up, I saw Santa standing there. As soon as I saw that there were no presents, I grabbed my plastic sword and ran at him, shouting angrily: "THIEF! THIEF!"JackWhen I was young, we always had a specific room for the Christmas tree. My mom never really liked the location, so one year she moved the tree into another room. I was convinced that Santa would not know where the tree was and would get lost in our house. I was worried that he would be mad and put me on the "bad" list and would not give me any gifts because he couldn't find the tree. I came up with the idea to make signs leading from the fireplace to the tree. They said things like: "Tree this way" or "Santa, put the gifts over here." When my big brother saw them he began to laugh his head off.LucyDoes everyone remember going to the mall and sitting on Santa’s lap to have his picture taken at Christmas time?Well, I used to think that if I did that, Santa would get mad because he would have to go all around the world and give every kid the chance to have his picture taken with him. Of course his lap would hurt and he would be very fired. I thought he might keep a copy of the picture and that would be how he decided who would be on his naughty list.My mom couldn't get me onto Santa's lap until she made him promise I wouldn't end up on his naughty list.Lydia25.

Santa might think she was a "bad" child.CMUMBAI, India —The children in their party clothes on the stage were very excited when they received the award. And the two of them said, "It’s unbelievable!"Nine-year-old, Rubina Ali, and Azharuddin Ismail, 10, were living a very different life and obviously loving every minute of it. The two, some of the child stars of the Oscar-winning Slum dog Millionaire(《贫民窟的百万富翁》)movie, know the Indian slums very well. That was where they grew up, and it is where they will return at the end of their Hollywood dream trip.But before going back home, there was an interview with the host, Ryan Seacrest. During the interview they smiled and repeated their disbelief in what was happening to them. To their surprise, their movie won first place in the Oscars. When the two received the award, it was late morning in the children’s home city of Mumbai, where family, friends and many fellow residents of the slums watched the result from Hollywood."I don’t really know what the Oscars are," Rubina’s mother said. "I’m just glad my daughter looks happy, though she told me she missed Indian food.""Our children lead a dog’s life," Rubina’s mother said, pointing out the rubbish everywhere, the open drains (下水道) and the lack of education opportunities.In a few days they will be back in Mumbai and back in the slums which aretheir home. Fortunately, according to media reports, the movie’s director, Danny Boyle, has promised to help the children chosen from the slum and make sure they will go to a proper school.The two don’t need to worry about their daily lives because of the Oscar success of Slum dog Millionaire.But the poverty and lack of opportunity —the central theme of the movie—is always all around.28. Which of the following is NOT true about the two children?A. They were both excited about receiving the award.B. They had been having a difficult life in India.C. They were interviewed before they went back home.D. They were the only two child stars in the movie, Slum dog Millionaire.29. What can we infer from the text?A. The two children have played in other movies before.B. Rinoms’s mother also went to the Hollywood.C. Rubina may not get used to the American food.D. They will travel to other countries before returning home.30. What will happen to the two children after they return to India?A. They will go back to the miserable life.B. They will play in movies as famous actors.C. They will leave school to learn acting.D. They will have a better education.31. According to the author, the value of the movie is that ________.A. it has been given an Oscar AwardB. it has made the two children famousC. it has become popular all over the worldD. its central theme has become known to the publicDThere were more than 3billlion passenger pigeons—a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.Sadly the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing.Where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands, Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.By the closing decades of the 19th century ,the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by American’s need for wood, which scattered (驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wi pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time , a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914.32. In the 18th and early 19teh centuries, passenger pigeons____.A. were the biggest bird in the worldB. lived mainly in the south of AmericaC. did great harm to the natural environmentD. were the largest bird population in the Us33. The underlined word “ undoing” probably refers to the pigeons’ ____.A. escapeB. ruinC. liberationD. evolution34. What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?A. To seek pleasure.B. To save other birds.C. To make money.D. To protect crops.35. What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?A. It was ignored by the public.B. It was declared too late.C. It was unfair.D. It was strict.第三部分英语知识运用第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）As a general rule, all forms of activity lead to boredom when they are performed on a routine(常规)basis.

But their 39 soon wears off and by January those 40 toys can be found put away in the basement. The world is full of 41 stamp albums and unfinished models, each standing as a monument to someone’s 42 interest. When parents bring home a pet, their child 43 bathes it and brushes its fur. Within a short time, however, the 44 of caring for the animal is handed over to the parents. Adolescents enter high school with great 45 but are soon looking forward to 46 . The same is true of the young adults going to college. And then, how many 47 , who now complain (抱怨) about the long drives to work, 48 drove for hours at a time when they first 49 their driver’s license (执照)? Before people retire, they usually 50 to do a lot of 51 things, which they never had 52 to do while working.

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research._____56_______ Try the following steps:Calm yourself. ______57_______ Y ou can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. _____58_______ Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you._____59______ If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. Y ou may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.Don’t forget to forgive yourself. _____60______ But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.A. Why should you forgive?B. How should you start to forgive?C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.D. Try to see things from your offender’s angle.E.

高中英语真题:学2013-2014学年高二英语下学期期末考试试题（考试时间120分钟，满分150分）一．阅读理解（共两节，满分60分，每小题3分）第一节（共15小题，满分45分）AMistakes are a part of life. To err is human. Failure is also a par t of life, not the end of life. Be happy facing life’s challenges. W hen you make the effort to be happy and to improve your life, y ou are actually rewarded along the way.Life is like a game and maybe you can award(奖励) points for every effort that has been a success for you. Try it . Add ten points for every achievement. And when you have rea ched 50 points, just yell, “ Hey, I’ve won!” and give yourself a re ward. If you happen to have missed your points for whatever re ason, tell yourself, “Well, I tried!” which is better than not trying at all. Don’t let it be said you didn’t try.What is it that you want to make yourself happy? Actually hap piness means different things to different people. For example, an athlete will be happy winning his first race. For a new motherhappiness would be seeing her baby’s first steps. Happiness fo r a poor person would mean having a meal just for today. So ha ppiness for you is really something simple that you want for you rself.It really doesn’t have to be big. As a matter of fact you should always have realistic expectations. Make the best out of every g iven situation. If you expect a certain result from a situation and it does not happen, don’t get despondent. This just means tryin g harder next time. We all have in us the power to succeed. Do n’t let “ give up ” be a part of your vocabulary.1.By saying “To err is human”, the author means that________.A. human beings should try to avoid(避免) making mistakesB. no one is perfect(完美的) and everyone makes mistakesC. mistakes and failures make up our lifeD. human beings m ake mistakes easily2. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. Try to reach 50 points.B. Never stop trying in your life.C. Award yourself for your successD. Don’t be afraid of missi ng your points.3. The author proves his idea in Paragraph 3 through_________.A. examplesB. numbersC. experimentsD. stories4. The underlined word “ despondent ” in the last paragraph means________.A. frightenedB. disappointedC. surprisedD. excitedBI am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about t he power of language—the way it can evoke (唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple trut nguage is the tool of my trade. And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with.Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in , I’ve b een giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speak s. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But I feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me t hat I can think of no way to describe it other than“broken”, as if i t were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. I’ve heard other terms used, “limited English,” for e xample. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, in cluding people’s perceptions(认识)of the limited English speaker.I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my moth er’s“limited” English limited my perception of her. I was asham ed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the qualit y of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me:the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at resta urants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did no t hear her.I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won’t get into t oday, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with:the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term mi ght be described as “broken” ; and what I imagine to be her tran slation of her Chinese, her internal (内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure. I wanted to catch w hat language ability tests can never show:her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the n ature of her thoughts.5. The author used to think of her mother’s English as .A. impoliteB. amusingC. imperfectD. practical6. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?A. Americans do not understand broken English.B. The author’s mother was not respected sometimes.C. The author’s mother had positive influence on her.D. Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.7. The author gradually realizes her mother’s English is .A. well structuredB. in the old styleC. easy to translateD. rich in meaning8. What is the passage mainly about?A. The change of the author’s attitude to her mother’s English.B. The limitation of the author’s perception of her mother.C. The author’s misunderstanding of “limited” English.D. The author’s experiences of using broken English.CThe Amazing Kids!

Coal-consumption caps will also be tried out in some areas, accordin g to the plan.“The plan is aimed at dealing with regional air pollution—such as acid rain and smog—which have become increasingly obvious in China in recent yea rs and caused a severe threat to people’s health,” Zhang Lijun, vice-minister of environmental protection, said in an interview on Mo nday.“The air quality in a city affects the regions nearby because poll utants (污染物) Can travel through the atmosphere,” said Chai Fahe, vice-director of Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Scien ces.“So efforts to reduce air pollution in a single city, targeting a cer tain pollutant will not be enough,” Chai said.Zhang said, “The country’s major industrial districts—the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region—have recorded more than 100 misty days annually in recent yea rs.”These three regions, home to at least 200 million people, occupy only 6. 3 percent of the country’s area but consume 40 perce nt of the country’s coal and produce half of its steel, according t o official figures.Studies also show that the visibility (能见度) in eastern regions of China has dropped by 7 to 15 km com pared to that in the early 1960s, as a result of air pollution.Liaoning province, the Shandong Peninsula, Wuhan in Hubei province and its surrounding area, the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan region in province, the Chengdu-Chongqing region, and the western coast of the Taiwan Straits are also listed as areas to carry out such regional air pollution c ontrol programs, according to the plan.The new plan also requires an improved air quality system, w hich will measure the pollution levels. “The current system, whic h only measures some major pollutants, cannot reflect the true picture.” said Chai.12. It will not be enough to reduce air pollution in a single city b ecause .A. air pollution has been becoming more and more serious in re cent yearsB. air pollution like acid rain and smog is threatening people’s h ealthC. air pollutants in a city can travel in the sky and affect nearby areasD. air pollutants stay in fixed places over the cities13.
