The big question is why.There have been many myths about safety belt ever since their first appearance incars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.Myth the Number One: It’s best to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident.Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear” is able to beserious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you’ll have traveledthrough a windshield(挡风玻璃) or door to do it.

People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of havinga clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them.Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren’t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour(mph).Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 metres.8.Why did Elizabeth say to her father, “But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you’re dead”?A.

2020-2021学年黑龙江牡丹江第一高级中学高二9月月考英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择Dear Students,I am delighted to be your guest.I would like to tell you about myself. I have been a news reporter for the past fifteen years. I chose this job so I could travel the world, but the job has taught me many unforgettable lessons. The work is sometimes difficult. I have seen famines, wars, earthquakes, poverty and death. But I have also seen courage, hope and happiness.In India, I visited a city where there were many homeless children. Some were as young as four years old. They lived in the streets and survived by begging or stealing. But then a wonderful lady called Rosa opened a home for them. Within one year, she was looking after two hundred children. She clothed them, fed them, and taught them. She gave them hope.Another time, I was in Turkey after a terrible earthquake. In one place, I found an old lady whose house was in ruins, her son was missing and rescuer workers said there was no chance that he was still alive. But the old lady did not give up hope. For four days, she moved heavy stones one at a time by herself. She did not stop until she found her son. He was alive.Here in China, I met a young boy with a serious condition. He had undergone twenty operations and spent nearly his whole life in hospital. I thought he would be sad, but when I met him, his smile was so warm and welcoming.In life, we need role models that we can admire and learn from. When my life is difficult, I try to remember the courage and goodness of these three people.1．The underlined word “famines” in Paragraph 2 means __________.A．pleasure. B．joy. C．luck. D．extreme lack of food.2．What can we learn about Rosa?A．She’s a rich lady and she likes to help the homeless children.B．She’s a kind-hearted woman and she provides houses for the homeless children. C．She’s a great mother and she looks after the homeless children.D．She’s a good teacher and she teaches the homeless children.3．The speaker is giving a speech to students in __________.A．China. B．Canada. C．Turkey. D．India.4．For what does the speaker admire the Turkish woman and the Chinese boy?A．Their bravery. B．Their strong mind.C．Their age. D．Their luck.Are you stuck in a job you don’t like? Many people hold ideas about jobs and careers that are holding them back.Let’s see the truth behind some career myths.A CV (简历) is the only way to get a job.To tell the truth, many employers don’t like or actually read CVs.Some employers would prefer to judge a person after a face-to-face meeting, or give them some part-time work first to see what they are truly like in the workplace.Having an up-to-date CV is important when applying for jobs advertised in the paper, from larger organizations, or when you want to leave some information about yourself for the employers.I have to make my decision now and stick to it.There is a great saying: “Life is a journey not a destination.” Journeys are full of options.You make and change your decisions all the time based on new experiences and information. Yes, you do have to make decisions, but you do not have to be limited by those career decisions by sticking to them.W hat’s more important is having a go and exploring new things.I can’t get into the work I like because there are too few opportunities.I have no doubt getting into work that you really want to do can be challenging.But I do also believe opportunities exist in most career areas because employment needs change all the time.One strategy I’d suggest if you can’t get your dream job is to go after what you want and grab any opportunity that moves you toward your dream job.It’s the school’s responsibility to tal k about careers and work.Schools do have a part to play in providing career advice for students, but others also have a responsibility.I would suggest that a student-parent-school partnership approach is a far better way of looking at this.A lot of information is available on the internet, in the newspapers, through relatives and friends.5．The passage was written mainly to ___________.A．tell people how to get a good jobB．teach people how to behave in a job interviewC．correct some wrong ideas about looking for jobsD．introduce right attitudes towards work6．According to the passage, when you are looking for jobs a CV __________.A．is the most important thingB．is no longer popularC．should be given face to face.D．should contain your latest information7．We can learn from the last paragraph that _________.A．students should use as many resources as possible when looking for a jobB．the school is the main source of career advice to studentsC．students should rely on relatives and friends to find a good jobD．information on the Internet is not necessarily trueThe piano on which Mozart wrote all of his late works returned home to Vienna for the first time since his death in 1791.The piano will stand in his former Vienna home, now a museum, for two weeks, ending in a concert of the works by Mozart.Mozart bought the instrument from Anton Walter, the most famous piano maker of his time, in 1782.He wrote more than 50 works for the piano on it, many of them in the apartment in Vienna.After Mozart’s death, Constanze, Mozart’s wife, gave the instrument to their elder surviving son, Carl Thomas, who donated it to the Mozarteum Salzburg on what would have been the composer’s 100th birthday.The piano is now part of the permanent exhibition in the Austrian city of Salzburg.“ It was very hard to let it go,” said Matthias Schulz, director of the Mozarteum Salzburg.“ If we didn’ t know it was in the best hands, we wouldn’ t have done it.” The piano is much smaller and lighter than modern concert ones.Its sound is fresher and brighter than that of a modern piano, with lighter action and hammers (音锤).Piano restorer Josef Meingast, who has looked after the Mozart piano since 1975, said it was superior to any of its surviving copies.Meingast said he had to fight to replace the existing strings (琴键), dating from a 1973 restoration, with softer ones that produce a rounder sound thought to be more similar to what Mozart would have produced.Russian pianist Alexander Melnikov, who planned to give a concert of Mozart’ s music on th epiano on November 7, said he was privileged to play such an instrument.It’s easily the biggest day of a musician’ s life.”8．According to the passage, the piano___________.A．is now being owned by the Mozart familyB．has been kept by Carl Thomas since Mozart diedC．is much bigger and heavier than modern onesD．is part of the permanent exhibition in the city of Salzburg9．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A．The piano has never been repaired.B．Anton Walter was also a very famous pianist.C．Josef Meingast devoted himself to restoring the piano.D．Matthias Schulz doubted if the piano would be well looked af.10．How will Alexander Melnikov feel when playing that piano?A．Upset B．Honored C．Frightened D．Creative 11．What is the main idea of this passage?A．Mozart’s piano returns home to Vinna.B．Mozart’s piano connects too many artists.C．Mozart’s piano reflects all his wonderful life.D．Mozart’s piano is restored to its original form.Kids are cool to wear blue jeans and T-shirts today.It is fashionable like that.Fashion refers to the styles of dress that are currently popular.Fashion goes beyond just clothes, though.It’s important for some people to wear only the latest fashions and styles.For others, though, keeping up w ith trends isn’t that important.The one thing that stays the same with fashion is this: it always changes!During the 1960s and 1970s, hippies made bell-bottomed blue jeans（喇叭裤）popular.Also, in the 1980s, Michael Jackson made parachute pants（降落伞裤）all the fashion.Now try to find these items in today’s clothing stores!Do you know why fashions change? The answer is probably as simple as the fact that people change.Over time, the new replaces the old.People are influenced greatly by popular culture, including athletes, musicians, movies stars, as well as popular films, television shows, books and music.We are also influenced by the fashion industry’s advertising.The stars of popular culture are always searching for a new angle to maintain（保持）their popularity.Often these new angles come in the form of new clothing or hairstyles.When people see these new styles, they often want to imitate their favorite stars.To do so, they seek out the latest fashions to make themselves look like the people they want to imitate.In this way, fashions evolve and change over time.Clothes have been used to separate people into groups for many years.Even today,brand-name, clothing that is more expensive than other types of clothing can be used by some people to distinguish themselves from others.Unfortunately, this can often have the effect of distancing certain groups from others.Don’t forget that it’s always OK to develop your own sense of style that is unique and separate from what the fashion world determines! Stay true to yourself and let your personality—not your clothes—speak for who you are！12．What does the example of bell-bottomed blue jeans and parachute pants in Paragraph 2 suggest?A．Michael Jackson is a good designer.B．Stars are always influential.C．People have different dressing styles.D．Fashion always changes.13．What causes the changes of fashions?A．Advertisements change rapidly.B．Movie stars are changing over time.C．Popular culture influences people.D．New films and shows replace the old.14．What does the author mainly want to stress in the last paragraph?A．The importance of having one’s own personality.B．The bad effects of following fashion.C．The good influences of popular styles.D．The advantages of staying unique.15．We can learn from the text that_____________.A．fashion is all about clothesB．clothes may separate and distance peopleC．the author has gone out of fashionD．people like imitating others’ dressing style二、七选五How to Love Your ParentsEven if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling（有意义的）part of life. You love them for the fact that they created you, raised you, and are in part, a source of who you are. Here are some ways to love your parents.16．. A gentle “good morning” and “I love you” will warm a coldest heart. Remember that they brought you into this world. Without your parents, we might still wander at an unknown corner in an unknown world.Respect them more and cherish(珍惜) these moments. You can use these moments to learn from them, preparing yourself for when you’re off on your own. It’s OK to get angry but angry actions don’t help you or your parents. Act calmly, cool off, write down your feelings, or talk to a friend. 17．Obey their requests. It will make your attitude better and earn you more respect from them. It may seem like you are going through hell when you don’t get what you want or you have to clean. However, you had better remember they keep a roof over your he ad when it’s cold, raining, snowing, or too hot. Understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes. 18．Since you can forgive your friends, why not forgive your parents?Keep company with them. Do things with your parents like watching TV, or go somewhere with them. 19．Listen to their old stories and learn from them. You will find they are your teachers in this way or another.Some people simply may not be able to love their parents. 20．Seek help if you are being abused（辱骂）in any way. Parents do not have a right to harm you.A．Forgiveness is the key.B．Parents will in turn express their love to you.C．Tell them you love them every morning.D．After this, share your feelings with your parents.E.Please remember parents are as important as friends.F.Anyway, spend as much time with them as you can.G.There can be realistic reasons for this, family violence（暴力）for example.三、完形填空A little boy almost thought of himself as the most unfortunate child in the world because a disease made his leg lame(跛的). He 21 played with his classmates. When the teacher asked him to answer questions, he always 22 his head without a word.One 23 the boy’s father asked for some saplings(树苗)from the neighbor.

AI was waiting for a phone call from my agent. He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn't care about my work, and he didn't care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, "Let me wait, will you？ Who do you think you are？"At that time I didn't realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, "Yeah! Who do you think you are？ Bad telephone! Bad telephone!" And she swept it into the wastebasket.I stood watching her, speechless. What on earth？She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, "Now hear this! All objects in this room -- if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!"Then she turned to me, kissed me, and said calmly, "Honey, you just have to learn how to take control." With that, she left the room.After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my mood had changed. I was laughing. How could I have trouble with that phone？ Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.1. Why did the author shout at the telephone？A. He was mad at the telephone.B. He was angry with his agent.C. He was anxious about his wife.D.

Unusual actions.C. Surprising looks.D. Anxious feelings.BDear March - Come in -How glad I am -I hoped for you before ...Who knocks？ That April -Lock the Door -I will not be pursued -He stayed away a year to call -When I am occupied -But trifles（琐事） look so trivial（不重要的） -As soon as you have come ...This lovely poem was written by Emily Dickinson, who is considered a major American poet, though she was not accorded （符合） this honor until well after her death.Emily Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830, in Amherst, Massachusetts. She attended school for only one year. Throughout her life, she seldom left her home and visitors were few. She lived in almost complete isolation（隔离） from the outside world.She admired the poetry of Robert and Elizabeth Barren Browning, as well as John Keats. Though she was dissuaded （劝阻） from reading the poetry of her contemporary Walt Whitman by rumors of its disgracefulness, the two poets are now connected by the distinguished place they hold as the founders of a uniquely American poetic voice.While Dickinson was extremely prolific （多产的） as a poet, she was not publicly recognized during her lifetime. Upon her death, Dickinson's family discovered forty hand-bound volumes of nearly 1,800 poems. Her younger sister began to share the enormous body of work that Emily left behind.Emily's odd punctuation, capitalization（大写）, and formatting（格式） did not meet with standard publishing "approval" for earlier editions. There is a whimsical （古怪的） nature to many other poems, as the subject of death was the most frequent theme.5. In the poem, the poetess was speaking to ______.A. a little girlB. a long-lost family memberC. a nice seasonD. a cute animal6. What is a feature of Emily Dickinson's poems？A. They do not pay attention to rhymes.B. They resemble those of Walt Whitman.C. They have a strange format.D. They reflect her personal and social life.7.

Researchers are finding that, if approached the right way, there can actually be an advantage.Psychologists classify envy in two ways：negative and positive. With positive envy, you are motivated by another person's success and struggle to follow it. With negative envy, you want to cut the advantaged person down so you look better by comparison. Let's say you feel sufferings of envy after your rival（对手） at another firm gets promoted. Negative envy might drive you to destroy his success, but positive envy would inspire you to work harder and get promoted, too.Studies show positive envy can be a great motivator（动力）. In a 2011 study published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers in the Netherlands conducted a series of experiments with more than 200 university students. Researchers found that when they caused feelings of positive envy----as opposed to admiration or negative envy----in the students, it drove t hem to want to study more and perform better on a test measuring creativity and intelligence. While admiration may feel better, the researchers found, it doesn't motivate performance like the pain and frustration of envy.“Those painful sufferings of envy are there for an evolutionary（进化的）reason,” says Texas Christian University researcher Sarah E. Hill, “warning us that someone has something of importance to us.” Building on this theory, Dr. Hill and others conducted a series of experiments, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, to test whether envy improves attention and memory----the tools needed to copy a rival's steps to success. In one experiment, half of the participants were asked to recall past feelings of envy; the other half weren't. The two groups were then shown mock（模拟的） interviews of imaginary peers. The group filled with envy paid closer attention and better recalled details about the interview subjects. In other words, envy made them more astute（机敏的）. Not only can envy motivate us to reach for higher goals, it may even give us the cognitive push to get there.12. What’s the bad effect of negative envy？A. It makes you lose heart and gets discouraged.B. It has you feel motivated.C. It makes you harm or hurt others on purpose.D. It reminds you to struggle to follow your dreams.13. What’s the benefit of positive envy？A. It inspires you to find a possible rival to try to defeat them.B. It encourages you to work harder with a positive attitude.C. It won’t hurt your opponents in the same firm.D. It won’t destroy your success at another firm.14. Compared to admiration, positive envy can__________.A. make you feel worse in all sidesB. be more likely to get you to admire othersC. make you feel the pain in your performanceD. be more likely to get you inspired to get success15. What is the main idea of the passage？A. Envy seems to be bad.B. Keep your envy in secret.C. Make full use of positive envy.D. Forget about your envy now.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。

黑龙江省2020-2021学年高二英语上学期开学考试试题时间90分钟满分120分第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

AIt was a dark and stormy night. I was about to go to bed when I heard a tapping sound on my window.“Who's there?” I shouted. Suddenly there was a flash of lightning; I saw a face at the window. It looked like an alien（外星人）--- an alien that I had seen on the television show, “the X files”.I felt very scared. I ran to my bed and pulled my blanket over my head. I started to shout for my parents but there was no reply. Then I remembered that they were at a fancy dress party.I looked out of my blanket but it was too dark to see anything. Then I heard footsteps. They were getting louder and louder. I ran to my drawer to take out my camera and started to take pictures in the direction of the window. Soon the footsteps died off.The grandfather clock struck. It was 12 midnight. I went back to my bed and tried to sleep. But I could not sleep. I felt too frightened. I sat up, and my mind was full of thoughts. Time passed --- finally, I fell asleep.I woke up only after eight and decided to find out what it had been. I found some footprints outside my bedroom window. I measured them with a ruler and found them to be exactly the same size as my father's shoes. I then went to town to get the film developed. I didn't realize that I did not use the flash until I saw the black photos.When I reached home, I told my father the whole incident and he started to laugh.I started laughing too when he told me that he had dressed up as an alien for the party. Today, I am still amused to think I was so afraid of my own father.1. The writer took photos _____.A. to find out what it wasB. just for funC. to scare the alien awayD. for the party2. What could the writer see in the photos?A. An alien’s face.B. His father’s face.C. Nothing.D. A flash.3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The writer was afraid of his father.B. The writer stayed alone that night.C. The writer didn’t s leep that night.D. The writer dressed up as an alien.BThe situation is that familiar --- deadlines are approaching, time runs out, disorder and confusion fills the day. The feeling is just as familiar --- a slightly faster heart rate, and shortness of breath. Yes, it is panic time.It’s too late to kick yourself with “I should have started on this sooner.” or “It was a mistake to accept this tight deadline.” The only thing left to deal with the situation is to panic more efficiently.① Focus.Panic happens when you are on an overload --- too many things to do, too much pressure, too little time. But if you focus on the tasks that you need to take care of, and line them up in a logical list, you can have better control of a highly stressful and wild situation.② Get rid of distractions.Time wasters and unnecessary activities are the last things you need during this time. Let everyone know you are on panic mode and should not be disturbed unless it is an emergency.③ Watch your time.Don’t be too engaged in one detail so that you reduce your timing for the other important details. Mind the time and deal with each task so that you can finish all of the required activities sufficiently.Try to solve a panic situation as quickly as you can so that you can rest andget back your energy and strength for the next one.4. What can a person in a panic mode do to watch his time?A. He should wear a watch.B. He should focus on one detail.C. He should do his work quickly.D. He should mind the time properly.5. The author suggests those on an overload______ .A. paying no attention to their panic modeB. planning their work according to a timetableC. doing their work in a careful and logical wayD. asking their friends to help do the work6. The underlined word "distraction" probably refers to something that______.A. draws off one’s attentionB. needs to be done at onceC. is worth doingD. costs much money7. Which of the following can be the title of the passage?A. A Familiar SituationB. Panic More EfficientlyC. Keep Your Spirit HighD. Throw Away DistractionsCWork started this week on next season’s flu vaccine (疫苗), with experts working out forecasts about which types of the flu virus will be making the rounds. But don’t expect any improvements. Flu experts are already admitting that most vaccines will give at best basic protection, because they’re based on old-fashioned technology. It’s not a new problem, but one that the slow-moving world of drug and vaccine production seems helpless to improve upon.Every flu vaccine is a cocktail, aimed at either three or four of the most common flu types. Flu vaccines must be recreated every year because flu viruses develop constantly in a process called antigenic drift. In February, global flu experts gather to trade notes on what viruses are circulating in different countries and to come to an agreement on which types the next vaccines should be made to target.In recent years, flu vaccines have been based on H1N1, H3N2 and either one or two types of inf luenza B virus. Each of these has a “reference” type, which is used to make seed virus. Producers add the seed types to eggs and incubate (孵) them asthe virus grows. Then they purify the virus, and either weaken it or kill it to make a vaccine.Using eggs is a tricky (=difficult) and unpredictable process. Sometimes the virus doesn’t grow well in eggs, which can mean less vaccine than expect ed. The result is a flu vaccine that doesn’t offer much protection. “As long as we have eggs we are going to have this problem,” said Scott Hensley, a flu virus expert, “The only solution is not to depend on eggs.”Flu is a major killer. The 2017-2018 season has been a severe one, hitting the entire U. S. with widespread influenza infection (感染) at once for weeks on end, and killing 97 children so far. Against this threat, even a less satisfying flu vaccine will definitely help. “Even when you have these mismatches it will not prevent infection but likely prevent disease severity,” said Hensle y.8. Next season flu vaccine fails to improve because ______.A. it has offered the best protectionB. experts can’t forecast the flu typesC. it is based on outdated technologyD. experts are unwilling to respond to changes9. According to Paragraph 2, flu experts ______ in February.A. exchange views on the virus types next seasonB. get together and make a deal on vaccinesC. sign an agreement on vaccine productionD. decide on how to circulate the viruses10. The risk of using eggs to make vaccines may be that ______.A. seeds are less likely to get protectionB. viruses might not be developed as expectedC. there are not enough eggs to be usedD. whether vaccines will grow is hard to predict11. What message does the underlined sentence convey?A. The U. S. is faced with serious flu attacks.B. Egg-based vaccines are better than nothing.C. There is something wrong with flu vaccines.D. Flu vaccines can stop the disease spreading.DForests are always losers at the Olympics, and that’s unlikely to chang e anytime soon.For the winter games in PyeongChang, South Korea, virgin forest was destroyed on Mount Gariwang to accommodate ski runs. For the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, a ski run is set to wipe out part of the Songshan National Nature Reserve. And let’s not forget the 240 acres of Atlantic Forest that were leveled for the 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro to make way for a golf course.For the upcoming Tokyo games, environmental and human rights advocates have been raising alarms about the use of tropical (热带的) wood to build the New National stadium. Activists have fought against such environmental destruction. The damage is often permanent, threatens endangered plants and animals and in some cases, causes conflicts with native people. But frequently the country’s organizing committee, and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) have found ways to make it reasonable —despite a paragraph in the Olympic Charter (宪章) that states that the IOC’s role is to “encourage and support a responsible concern for environmental issues”.“As it stands now, the IOC has little authority over a city’s local organizing committee, which finally plans the event, ” Chappelet, professor of public management at the University of Lausanne, told Earther. “Even if the IOC is dissatisfied with the way host cities have prepared for the games, they have no built-in systems to watch them so that they strictly follow the Olympic Charter.” The only thing they can do if they’re not happy is to withdraw (= take back) the right to organize the game. “But the IOC could include more enforcement (执行) systems into the contract they make with the host city,” he added. That contract must be signed and obeyed by everyone and those who break it must be fined.Boykoff, the author of several books on the Olympics, suggested a similar solution. “The IOC could insist that host cities take their ecological (生态的) promises into account first, but instead they look the other way, time and time again,” he said.12. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. Popularity of the Olympics.B. Different needs of the Olympics.C. Importance of protecting forests.D. Problems caused by the Olympics.13. The IOC is expected to ______ according to the Olympic Charter.A. lead the fight against destructionB. withdraw the rights of host citiesC. ban the destruction of the environmentD. promote a responsible concern for the environment14. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refers to ______.A. the IOCB. built-in systemsC. host citiesD. the games15. What can be the best title for the text?A. IOC Stresses Its Active RoleB. Prized Forests Lost BigC. Perfect Solutions are foundD. Conflicts Arise at the Olympics 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填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020-2021学年牡丹江第一高级中学高二上期中英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mum, I can’t peel potatoes. I have only one hand.”Mum never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.That night I told Mum about it. She hugged me, and___________________The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, mum looked carefully at the bars.“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung I reached.I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs; I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mum came into my room. “Mum,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”For a long time, I didn’t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you’ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” He r voice was faint and cracking. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf. She had never let me see her tears.1．Which of the following expressions can be used most suitably to describe Mum’s attitude when she made the child peel potatoes?A．Cautious B．SeriousC．Strict D．Considerate2．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 imply?A．Mum believed every aim could be achieved if you stuck to it.B．The race across monkey bars was not difficult enough for a child to give up.C．Mum was determined to prove she herself was better than the teacher.D．What the child had said brought Mum great attraction and curiosity.[3．When the child looked down at the kids, they were standing with their mouths open because ________.A．they felt sorry for what they had done beforeB．they were afraid the author might fall off and get hurtC．they wanted to see what the author would do on the barsD．they were astonished to find the author’s progress4．The most probable conclusion we can draw after reading the passage is ________. A．the last incident was sad enough to make Mum weepB．the child’s experience reminded Mum of that of her ownC．Mum could solve any problem except the one in the last paragraphD．Mu m suffered more in the process of the child’s growth actuallyMany people in the United States like eggs for breakfast. There are many different ways to cook eggs. One of the most common kinds of eggs for breakfast is scrambled eggs. In addition, this is one of the easiest dishes to cook. Read this recipe(秘法)for scrambled eggs and you will see how easy it is.Steps:1) Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium(适中的)heat.2) In a small bowl, mix the eggs and the milk. Use the fork (or the spoon) to mix these well.3) Pour this mixture into the pan.4) Stir the eggs from time to time with the spatula. Continue until the eggs are no longer liquid.5) Add salt and pepper. Add a little or a lot, as you like.5．For this recipe, you do not need __________.A．a knife B．a spatula C．a bowl D．a fork 6．Which of these steps comes first?A．Stir the eggs with the spatula.B．Eat the eggs for breakfast.C．Add salt and pepper.D．Mix the eggs and the milk.7．Which of these words means “to change from solid to liquid”?A．pour B．melt C．stir D．scrambleSports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses （球场）in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for trad itional health clubs and modern sportscenters. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free. 8．Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of?A．Cycling around a lake.B．Motor racing in the desert.C．Playing basketball in a gym.D．Swimming in a sports center.9．What do we know about golf from the passage?A．It is popular in Portugal and Spain.B．It causes water shortages around the world.C．It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.D．It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green.10．The author uses power walking as an example mainly because _________.A．it is an outdoor sportB．it improves our healthC．it uses fewer resourcesD．it is recommended by experts11．The author writes the passage to _________.A．show us the function of major sportsB．encourage us to go in for green sportsC．discuss the major influence of popular sportsD．introduce different types of environment-friendly sportsTwo recent studies have found that punishment is not the best way to influence behavior．One showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards. Researchers at Harvard University in the United States and the Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden did the study.They had about two hundred college students play a version of the game known as the Prisoner’ s Dilemma. The game is based on the tension between the interests of an individual and a group. The students played in groups of four. Each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain equally. But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players. Harvard researcher David Rand says the most successful behavior provedto be cooperation. The groups that rewarded it the most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded it the least. And the more a group punished itself, the lower its earnings. The study appeared last month in the journal Science.The other study involved children. It was presented last month in California at a conference on violence and abuse. Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups. More than eight hundred children were aged two to four the first time they were tested. More than seven hundred children were aged five to nine. The two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test. Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not.The study says the IQs of the younger children who were notspankedwere five points higher than those who were. In the older group, the difference was almost three points. The more they are spanked, the slower their mental development.12．According to the first study, we mainly infer that .A．the game is called Prisoner’s DilemmaB．the less a group punished itself, the lower its earningsC．adults are much more cooperative if rewardedD．the game is introduced in the journal Science13．Which of the following is TRUE according to the second study?A．Children's IQs have much to do with physical punishment．B．The study is about violence and cooperation of children．C．The children tested were divided into groups of four．D．Children's mental development only relies on their IQs．14．What does the underlined word "spanked" refer to? A．Punished．B．Blamed．C．Tested．D．Praised．15．What might be the best title for the text?A．The Best Way to Correct MisbehaviorB．Punishment Is the Best Way of EducationC．Cooperation Is the Most Successful BehaviorD．Punishment or Reward: Which Works Better on Behavior?二、未知Do you know what a big dream is? 16．Or, is a big dream something that providesonly entertainment? Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams. They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.The SelfImmediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego (自我). It’s there for protecting and should be listened to. 17．Most people are influenced by the inside voice. That’s why only a handful of people make their dream come true.18．Family and friends are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love, so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams won’t come true. Sometimes, family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.The WorldIf one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world. 19．In the past, big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world. Fortunately, in most of the world today, big dreamers just get laughed at.The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action. When children have confidence and then take action, they will be ready to accept any failure. The truth isthat every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knowsfailure well. 20．A．Family and FriendsB．How Big Dreams DieC．Does a big dream show one’s future?D．They simply fail until they succeed.E.Sometimes it is right, but more often it is wrong.F.It is the last and the most terrible barrier.G.And their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.三、完形填空It was in my high school science class. I was doing a task in front of the classroom with my favorite shirt on.A 21 came, “Nice shirt.” I smiled from ear to ear. Then another voice said, “That shirt belonged to my dad.

With over 1,400 to choose from, we’ve selected a few that are perfect for students.1. Larry Smith: Why you will fail to have a great careerWe humans may have an unfavorable habit of making excuses for ourselves or being too confident about ourselves. Accordingly, Larry Smith, a professor of economics at the University of Waterloo in Canada, tells us why most of us will fail to have a great career. Luckily, as he puts it, there is a way out—follow your heart, as long as it is good for your career.2.

There was no food or clothing for days,” 52-year-oldCharulata Biswal, a volunteer forest protector, told Mongabay-India. “But we realized it was because of the surviving forest that many people in Gundalba, a small village, were still alive. We promised we would protect the forest in return and restore the biodiversity.”Groups of women patrol the forest at least twice a day. As they walk among the trees, they blow their whistles and bang wooden sticks against tree trunks. “We beat our sticks and patrol in groups of 10,” Biswal said. “We spread out inside the forest and blow whistles. Anyone with the intention to harm the local biodiversity will flee on hearing our whistle and the banging of our sticks on tree trunks.”In 2001, over 70 women from Gundalba came together to form the Women’s Forest Protection Committee. Apart from their daily patrols, they also approached neighboring villages that also depend on the forest for firewood about setting up a system for sustainability (可持续性). For example, every village is allowed to gather firewood from the forest on a set day of the month, usually a few days after another settlement has finished the gathering process.Over the years, they have caught several people cutting trees illegally in the forest. Asked if they have ever been afraid of patrolling the large forest they said no. “The forest is an extension of our home,” Biswal said. “Won’t it hurt to see your children suffer? This is how a mother feels and we are doing something that comes to us naturally.”Thanks to the women’s efforts, the forest gradually came back to life. Birds started nesting in trees again and the animals returned.24．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?A．To introduce the natural disaster in India.B．To show what people in Gundalba did to survive.C．To explain why the women decided to patrol the forest.D．To describe the poor situation in eastern state of Odisha.25．Why do the women whistle and bang the sticks?A．To attract more birds and animal.B．To relax themselves during their work.C．To make themselves brave to go among the forest.D．To warn people meaning to damage the forest to leave.26．What did the Committee do after its foundation?A．They gathered firewood from other forests.B．They reduced the time for patrolling the forest.C．They adopted environment-friendly woodcutting methods.D．They stopped neighboring villages from cutting their trees.27．How does Charulata Biswal feel about the forest?A．It is like her family. B．It will take long to recover.C．It has lost some natural functions. D．It suffers a lot from illegal cutting.We all know what a brain is. A doctor will tell you that the brain is the organ of the body in the head. It controls our body’s functions, movements, emotions and thoughts. But a brain can mean so much more.A brain can also simply be a smart person. If a person is called brainy, he is smart and intelligent. If a family has many children but one of them is super smart, you could say, “He’s the brains in the family.” And if you are the brains behind something, you are responsible for developing or organizing something. For example, Bill Gates is the brains behind Microsoft.Brain trust is a group of experts who give advice. Word experts say the phrase “brain trust” became popular when Franklin D．Roosevelt first ran for president in 1932. Several professors gave him advice on social and political issues(问题)facing the U.S. These professors were called his “brain trust”.These ways we use the word “brain” all make sense. But other ways we use the word are not so easy to understand. For example, to understand the next brain expression, you first need to know the word “drain”. As a verb, to drain means to remove something by letting it flew away. So a brain drain may sound like a disease where the brain flows out the ears. But, brain drain is when a country’s most educated people leave their countries to live in another. The brains are, sort of, draining out of the country.However, if people are responsible for a great idea, you could say they brainstormed it. Here, brainstorm is not an act of weather. It is a process of thinking creatively about a complex topic. For example, business leaders may use brainstorming to create new products, and government leaders may brainstorm to solve problems.If people are brainwashed, it does not mean their brains are nice and clean. To brainwash means to make some accept new beliefs by using repeated pressure in a forceful or tricky way. Keep in mind that brainwash is never used in a positive way.28．According to the text, if you’re the CEO of Bai Du you can be called .A．the organ of Bai Du B．the brains behind Bai DuC．the brain drain of Bai Du D．Bai Du’s brain trust 29．Roosevelt successfully won the election probably because .A．he was the brains behind America B．he got the help of word expertsC．he was smart at giving advice D．he got his brain trust30．From the passage, we can infer that .A．brainy and brainwash are never used in a negative wayB．brainstorming is not a good choice for a political leader for lack of creativityC．a country suffers a “brain drain” when educated people move to other countriesD．to drain a lake means to fill it with a lot of water31．The author explains the “brain” expressions by .A．using examples B．making comparisonsC．making comments D．analyzing originsLast year, on report card day, my son and a bunch of his 13-year-old friends piled into the back seat of my car, ready for the last-day-of-school party at McDonald’s. “Jack got a laptop for getting straight A’s, and Laurie got a cell phone,” one boy said. “Oh, yeah, and Sarah got an iPod Nano, and she’s only in third grade,” said another. “And how about Brian? He got $10 for each A．”I suddenly became concerned. These payoffs might get parents through grammar school, but what about high school and beyond? What would be left after the electric guitar, the cell phone, and the portable laptop?I saw the road ahead: As the homework load increased, my income would decrease. I saw my comfortable lifestyle vanish before my eyes — no more of those $5 bags of already-peeled organic carrots. No more organic anything!I started to feel surprised and nervous. Would every goal attained by my two children fetcha reward? A high grade point average? A good class ranking? Would sports achievements be included in this reward system: soccer goals, touchdowns（橄榄球触地得分）, runs-batted-in （棒球打点得分）? What about orchestra（管弦乐团）? Would first chair pay more than second? I’d be penniless by eighth-grade graduation.“We never paid anything for good grades,” said my neighbor across the street, whose sonwas recently accepted at MIT. “He just did it on his own. Maybe once in a while we went out for pizza, but that’s about it.”Don’t you just hate that? We’re all running around looking for the latest electronic products, and she’s spending a few dollars on pizza. She gets motivation; we get negotiatio n. 32．The sentence “As the homework load increased, my income would decrease.” in the third paragraph probably means ______.A．taking care of the children would influence my workB．I would spend more money on my children’s homeworkC．reducing children’s homework load would cost me a lotD．more rewards would be needed as the children grew up33．It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A．if you pay the children for good grades, they would take it for grantedB．if you buy children pizza for good grades, they would work harderC．children would not ask for rewards when they enter high schoolD．children would not ask for rewards when they enter university34．The example of the author’s neighbor shows that ______.A．pizza is the best way to motivate childrenB．reward is not the only way to motivate childrenC．the author’s neighbor was very poorD．the author’s neighbor’s son didn’t like reward35．What is the author’s attitude toward paying children reward for good grades? A．Favorable. B．Ambiguous.C．Disagreeable. D．Unknowable.三、七选五Getting the Cheapest FlightsAfter interviewing 10 travel agents in the area, we’ve compiled (汇编) the very best tips for finding the cheapest flights.Book your flight 21 days before you want to fly. Booking a flight is like playing a game of chicken. Airlines want to get the most money possible for their tickets and have difficult computer programs that adjust their prices automatically. Booking too early, you might miss out on some major deals.36．The best advice is to book your flight 21 days before your planneddeparture date to get the best deals.37．Most airlines update their reservation systems on Tuesday at 7 p.m. GMT. People tend to buy their tickets on weekends, so airlines make changes on one of the slowest days of the week---Tuesday.Fly on Tuesday or Wednesday. Tuesday and Wednesday are the least busy days at airports, and are also the cheapest days to fly. 38．Friday and Sunday are the peak flying days of the week, and are the worst, and most expensive days to fly.Book early for international flights. 39．You can also try flying into smaller airports, which sometimes have better deals.Eat your cookies（网络标记)． Delete your Internet browser cookies if you’ve visited an airline site within the last 30 days. 40．Compare prices. Use travel search engines, in addition to airline websites, to make sure you're getting the best deal possible.A．Collect it one day ahead.B．Tuesday is the best day of the week.C．Pay in cash when you receive your ticket.D．Booking too late, you might be shocked to see prices skyrocket.E.The best deals for international flying are found 11-12 weeks in advance.F.As an added bonus, you’ll also have less people to deal with at the airport.G.It's been discovered that some airlines will raise prices for previous visitors to their websites.四、完形填空Go for the GoldDiana Golden was 12 years old when she found she had bone cancer. Doctors recommended 41 her right leg above the knee.42 Diana heard the news, she asked the first question that came into her mind, “Will I still be able to 43 ?”“When the doctors said yes,” she later said, “I thought it wouldn’t be too 44 .”That was Diana’s 45 to life. Losing a leg would cause most children to lose46 , but Diana refused to think about the 47 side. “Losing a leg?” she’d say. “It’s nothing. A body part.”Most of all, Diana didn’t want to let cancer stop her from doing what she loved—skiing.She had been on ski since five. After the operation, Diana worked hard to get back to the48 . “I always skied, and I intended to keep on skiing. There was never any question in my mind about that,” she 49 . Seven months after losing her leg, Diana met her 50 . She was back out on the slopes (斜坡).Skiing wasn’t quite the same with just one leg, but Diana made the best of it. She 51 to go faster on one leg than most people could go on two. When she was just 17, she became a member of the U.S. Disabled Ski Team.After high school, Diana went on to Dartmouth College. There she saw how toptwo-legged skiers trained. 52 not to be left behind, Diana began training with the Dartmouth team. When they ran up and down the steps of the football stadium, she went up and down the steps too—by 53 . “I had to 54 ,” she later explained. “I was an athlete.I had one leg, which meant I had to do it 55 .”Her constant efforts finally paid off. In 1987, Diana placed 10th in a race 56 some of the best nondisabled skiers in the country. And in 1988, the magazine Ski Racing selected her “Skier of the Year”, breaking the 57 of electing able-bodied World Cup athletes.As a result of her 58 and determination, Diana has changed the way the world looks at 59 athletes. People have begun to see them as strong and competent. “Everyone has some kind of ‘disability’,” Diana says, “It’s what we do with our abilities that 60 .”41．A．pulling B．losing C．removing D．breaking 42．A．Until B．When C．Once D．Since 43．A．run B．walk C．train D．ski 44．A．bad B．strange C．difficult D．dangerous 45．A．answer B．attitude C．attention D．challenge 46．A．memory B．interest C．confidence D．patience 47．A．serious B．practical C．positive D．negative 48．A．mountain B．field C．track D．court 49．A．responded B．complained C．declared D．introduced 50．A．goal B．requirement C．approval D．standard 51．A．offered B．agreed C．expected D．learned 52．A．Determined B．Ashamed C．Anxious D．Cautious 53．A．climbing B．running C．jumping D．walking 54．A．adapt B．perform C．survive D．transform55．A．properly B．immediately C．differently D．deliberately 56．A．between B．against C．to D．for 57．A．reality B．system C．promise D．tradition 58．A．wisdom B．experience C．behavior D．courage 59．A．top B．disabled C．young D．international 60．A．pushes B．matters C．helps D．contributes五、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词) 或括号内单词的正确形式。

2020-2021学年牡丹江市第一高级中学高三英语第二次联考试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIn his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great language master and writer. But he was not the only great master of play writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting influence on theater.While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered one of Chinas greatest playwrights and is highly spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.Tang was born in 1550 inLinchuan,Jiangxiprovince. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays,poems and sonnets (十四行诗), Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), A Dream under the Southern bough, and Dream of Handan. The latter three were constructed around a dream narrative, a way through which Tang unlocked the emotional dimension of human desires and ambitions and explored human nature beyond the social and political limits of that time.Similar to Shakespeare, Tang's success rode the wave of a renaissance (复兴) in theater as an artistic practice. As in Shakespeare'sEngland, Tang's works became hugely popular inChinatoo. During Tang'sChina, his plays were enjoyed performed, and changed. Kunqu Opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southernChinato the whole nation and became a symbol of Chinese culture. Combining northern tune and southern music, kunqu Opera was known for its poetic language, music, dance movements and gestures. Tang's works benefited greatly from the popularity of kunqu Opera, and his plays are considered classics of kunqu Opera.While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other, there are many things they share in common, such e humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for poetic language, a lasting popularity and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.1. Why is Shakespeare mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To describe Shakespeare's anniversary.B. To introduce the existence of Tang Xianzu.C. To explain the importance of Shakespeare.D. To suggest the less popularity of Tang Xianzu.2. What's possibly one of the main theme of Tang's works?A. Social reality.B. Female dreams.C. Human emotions.D. Political environment.3. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 4?A. The influence of Kunqu Opera on Tang's works.B. Tang's success in copying Shakespeare's styles.C. The way Kunqu Opera became a symbol of Chinese culture.D. Tang's popularity for his poetic language and music.BCanadaIs Our NeighbourCanada and the United States are neighbours.They are on the same land.They share the same long boundary(国界).These two nations are similar in many ways.Canada buys many goods from the United States.Cars and clothes are two examples.The United States also buys goods from Canada.Much of the paper used in the United States comes from Canada.Some of the oilweuse comes from Canada,too.Americans travel toCanadaon holiday.And Canadians often visit the United States.It is easy for the people of one country to go to the other country.Canadians read about the United States in newspapers and magazines.Many Americans watch Canadian baseball and hockey (曲棍球)matches on Sundays.However,there are important differences between theUnited Statesand Canada.The United States has more people.Because the population is smaller,there are more open places in Canada.There is much unused land.This is another important difference.4.Canadabuys from theUnited States.A.oil and paperB.nothingC.many thingsD.everything5.In the first paragraph “we” means ________.A.CanadiansB.AmericansC.ChineseD.students6.The people in theUnited Stateslike Canadian ________.A.baseballB.basketballC.newspapersD.oil7.Which of the following statements is WRONG?A.Canada has less people than theUSA.B.Canada has not used all the land.C.Canada is connected withAmerica.D.Canadians don’t like hockey.CRock and pop hitmaker Jim Steinman, who wrote and composed music for Meat Loaf, Bonnie Tyler, Celine Dion, and more, died Monday in Danbury, Connecticut. He was 73. Steinman's brother Billconfirmed that the cause of death was kidney (肾) failure.A statement posted on Steinman's Facebook page read, “It's with a heavy heart that I can confirm Jim's passing. There will be much more to say in the coming hours and days as we prepare to honor this giant of a human being and his glorious legacy.”Steinman's wholly unique career found him working as a composer, lyricist, and producer for many artists in a variety of styles. According to a biography on his website, the records he's worked on have sold more than 190 million copies worldwide. He was nominated (提名) for four Grammys, and won Album of the Year for his work on Dion's 1996 smash,Falling Into You.Steinman began his career in a musical theater while in college, writing and starring in a rock musical calledThe Dream Engine, which gained the attentionof New York theatrical producer Joe Papp. After graduating, Steinman worked at the Public Theater (which was established by Papp). In 1973, Yvonne Elliman recorded Steinman's song “Happy Ending”, which became Steinman's first commercially released tune. That same year, the Public Theater staged his musicalMore Than You Deserve.One of the actors who auditioned forMore Than You Deservewas Meat Loaf, and he and Steinman soon struck up a close personal and professional relationship. The two began working on Meat Loaf's solo album,Bat Out of Hell, in the early 70s, but it wouldn't be released until 1977. It wasn't until about one year later — after Meat Loaf performed onSaturday Night Live— that the album became a hit.“There is no other songwriter ever like him,” Meat Loaf said. “I can never repay him. He has been such an influence, in fact, the biggest influence on my life, and I learned so much from him that there would be no way I could ever repay Mr. Jim Steinman.”8. What caused Jim Steinman's death?A. A hit on the head.B. A kidney problem.C. A failed operation.D. A lack of blood supply.9. What is the correct order of the following events?a. Meat Loaf performed onSaturday Night Live.b. Jim released his first commercial tuneHappy Ending.c. Jim and Meat Loaf released the albumBat Out of Hell.d.

Jim won Album of the Year for his work onFalling Into You.A. dbecafB. dbcfaeC. fdcaebD. fbceda10. Why was Jim Steinman important to Meat Loaf?A. Because Jim was an extraordinary songwriter.B. Because Jim allowed him not to repay his debt.C. Because Jim was influential in the music industry.D. Because Jim gave him friendship and career support.11. What do we learn about Jim Steinman?A. He mainly focused his career on acting in musicals.B. He is a well-known and widely respected musician.C. His closest friends were Bill, Papp and Meat Loaf.D. He won four Grammys in the course of his career.DThere will be more plastic than fish in the world’s oceans by 2050. That is what a new report from the World Economic Forum and Ellen MacArthur Foundation warns. If the current trend continues, the report said, oceans will contain one ton of plastic for every three tons of fish in 2025. By 2050, plastics will weigh more than fish. The problem is that each year at least 8 million tons of plastics end up in oceans around the world. This is the same as dumping the contents of one garbage truck into the ocean every minute.Not all plastic ends up in the ocean because someone throws a plastic bottle into the water. Plastic containers and other trash thrown onto streets and sidewalks often are swept into oceans. Unlike other types of trash in the ocean, the plastic never bio-degrades. There is a way to slow the amount of plastics going into the oceans — people can recycle more. Currently only about 14 percent of plastics are recycled. Research in Europe shows as much as 53 percent of plastic could be recycled using available technology. The report says that another solution isusing less plastic for packaging products. But that is not likely to happen.“Given plastic packaging’s many benefits, both the possibility and desirability of an across-the-board dramatic reduction in the volume of plastic packaging used is clearly low, ”the report said. But the authors note reducing the use of plastics should be tried“where possible. ”For decades, scientists warned that plastics are killing fish.

By 1973,large numbers of barred owls had arrived in the western state ofWashington. Later they moved south intoOregonandCalifornia.In parts of thePacific Northwest, the owls are now believed to be causing a drop in the population of a smaller, less aggressive bird: the northern spotted owl. In many ways, the barred owl is the spotted owl's worst enemy. The barred owl has more babies per year and eats the same animals, like squirrels and wood rats. And their numbers are now larger in many parts of the spotted owl's traditional territory.David Wiens is a biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, a federal agency that studies the Earth and its natural resources. He and other officials are doing something unusual to protect spotted owls: killing barred owls. It is a controversial, experimental program. More than 2,400 barred owls have already been shot.Wiens is the son of a well-known bird expert and grew up with the fascination for birds. He has mixed feelings about the program. "It's a little distasteful, I think, to go out killing barred owls to save another owl species," he says. But he adds, “We knew that barred owls were out competing spotted owls and their numbers were growing too fast."To catch barred owls, officials put digital bird callers on the ground. Then they step back and wait as several sounds from the devices fill the air. All of this happens in the dark of night. Barred owls dislike other birds in their territory, so they will fly down and chase other owls out. That is when Wiens and his team try to shoot them.4. What's the main problem with spotted owls?A. They are being starved to death.B. They have more babies each year.C. They are invaded by another bird.D. They are hunted by man.5. Why are barred owls being killed?A. They are eating the spotted owls.B. They are killing each other to survive.C. They are putting the spotted owls in danger.D. They are destroying large areas of forests.6. Why did the officials release the bird sounds?A. To kill barred owls.B. To puzzle barred owls.C. To protect barred owls.D. To frighten barred owls.7. What can be the best title for the text?A. Killing One Animal to Save Another.B. Keeping the Balance of Nature.C. Protecting Birds in Danger.D. Preventing Birds from Playing Fair.CWhen I was seven my father gave me a Timex, my first watch. I loved it, wore it for years, and haven’t had another one since it stopped ticking a decade ago. Why? Because I don’t need one. I have a mobile phone and I’m always near someone with an iPod or something like that. All these devices (装置) tell the time — which is why, if you look around, you’ll see lots of empty wrists; sales of watches to young adults have been going down since 2007. This is ridiculous. Expensive cars go faster than cheap cars. Expensive clothes hang better than cheap clothes. But these days all watches tell the time as well as all other watches. Expensive watches come with extra functions — but who needs them? How often do you dive to 300 metres into the sea or need to find your direction in the area around the South Pole? So why pay that much of five years’ school fees for watches that allow you to do these things?If justice were done, the Swiss watch industry should have closed down when the Japanese discovered how to make accurate watches for a five-pound note. Instead the Swiss reinvented the watch, with the aid of millions of pounds’ worth of advertising, as a message about the man wearing it. Rolexes are for those who spend their weekends climbing icy mountains; a Patek Philippe is for one from a rich or noble family; a Breitling suggests you like to pilot planesacross the world.Watches are now classified as “investments” (投资). A 1994 Philippe recently sold for nearly £ 350,000, while 1960s Rolexes have gone from £ 15,000 to £ 30,000 plus in a year. But a watch is not an investment. It’s a toy for self-satisfaction, a matter of fashion. Prices may keep going up — they’ve been rising for 15 years. But when of fashion. Prices may keep going up — they’ve been rising for 15 years. But when fashion moves on, the owner ofthat £ 350,000 beauty will suddenly find his pride and joy is no more a good investment than my childhood Times.8. The author don’t need another watch because ________.A. he don’t like wearing a watchB. he has mobile phone and can ask someone for helpC. he has no sense of timeD. he thinks watches too expensive9. It seems ridiculous to the writer that________.A. expensive watches with unnecessary functions still sellB. expensive clothes sell better than cheap onesC. cheap cars don’t run as fast as expensive onesD. people dive 300 metres into the sea10. What can be learnt about Swiss watch industry from the passage?A. It wastes a huge amount of money in advertising.B. It’s hard for the industry to beat its competitors.C. It targets rich people as its potential customers.D. It’s easy for theindustry to reinvent cheap watches.11. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Timex or Rolex?B. My Childhood TimexC. Watches? Not for Me!D. Watches----a Valuable CollectionDLast year, 138,000San Franciscoresidents used Airbnb, a popular app designed to connect home renters and travelers. It’s a striking number for a city with a population of about 850,000, and it was enough for Airbnb to win a major victory in local elections, asSan Franciscovoters struck down a debatable rule that would have placed time restrictions and other regulations on short-term rental services.The company fiercely opposed the measure, Proposition F, with a nearly $10 million advertising campaign. It also contacted its San Franciscan users with messages urging them to vote against Proposition F.Most people think of Airbnb as a kind of couch-surfing app. The service works for one-night stays on road trips and longer stays in cities, and it often has more competitive pricing than hotels. It’s a textbook example of the “sharing economy”, but not everyone is a fan.The app has had unintended consequences inSan Francisco. As the San Francisco Chronicle reported last year,a significant amount of renting on Airbnb is not in line with the company’s image: middle-class families putting up a spare room to help make ends meet. Some users have taken advantage of the service, using it to turn their multiple properties into vacation rentals or even full-time rentals. Backers of Proposition F argued that this trend takes spaces off the conventional, better-regulated housing market and contributes to rising costs.“The fact is, widespread abuse of short-term rentals is taking much needed housing off the market and harming our neighborhoods,” said ShareBetter SF, a group that supported Proposition F. Hotel unions have protested the company’s practices inSan Franciscoand other cities, saying that it creates an illegal hotel system.San Franciscois in the middle of a long-term, deeply rooted housing crisis that has seen the cost of living explode. Actually, explode is a generous term. The average monthly rent for an apartment is around $4, 000. Located on a narrow outcropping of land overlooking the bay,San Franciscosimply doesn’t have enough space to accommodate the massive inflow of young, high-salaried tech employees flocking toSilicon Valley.As the Los Angeles Times reported, someSan Franciscoresidents supported the measure simply because it seemed like a way to check a big corporation. Opponents of Proposition F countered that the housing crisis runs much deeper, and that passing the rule would have discouraged a popular service while doing little to solve the city’s existing problems.12. The intention of Proposition F is to ________.A. place time limits in local election.B. set limits on short-term rental.C. strike down a controversial rule.D. urge users to vote against Airbnb.13. What is the negative consequence of Airbnb onSan Francisco?A. It shrinks the living space of middle-class families.B. Users are taken advantage of by the service financially.C. It makes the house market more competitive.D. It indirectly leads to high house rental price.14. The housing crisis inSan Franciscoresults from ________.A. explosion of the living costB. its geographic characteristicsC. generosity of local enterprisesD. inflow of migrant population15. Theauthor’s attitude toward Proposition F is ________.A. objectiveB. supportiveC. negativeD. indifferent第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

And then you began eyeing each other's cups．Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups．They are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the qualityof life we live．Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us．"God brews the coffee, not the cups．Enjoy your coffee!"The happiest people don't have the best of everything．They just make the most of everything．"Live simply．Love generously．Care deeply．Speak kindly．Leave the rest to God．25．Why did the professor offer his students coffee with varieties of cups?A．To give his students many more choices．B．To teach his students how to enjoy coffee．C．To show the students his collection of cups．D．To tell his students the right attitude to life26．According to the professor, the happiest people are the ones who _____．A．get the best type of coffee cups B．make the bestof what they haveC．have a wide range of coffee cups D．care about social status and wealth27．The best title for the passage would be _____．A．God's Coffee B．The Pressure of LifeC．The Happiest People D．Professor's Coffee CupsWhy do people drink too much, eat too much, smoke cigarettes or take drugs? What’s to blame for all the bad behavior? Most people would say that, while these self-destructive (自我毁灭的) acts can have many root causes, they all have one obvious thingin common: they are all examples of failures of self-control, lacking the will power to resist them.According to a recent study, however, if you really think about it, something about that simple answer doesn’t quite make sense. In fact, it turns out that sometimes it’s having will power that really gets you into trouble.Think back to the time you took your very first sip of beer. Disgus ting, wasn’t it? When my father gave me my first taste of beer as a teenager, I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it. And smoking? No one enjoys their first cigarette —it tastes awful. So even though smoking, and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation (诱惑) you need will power to resist, they never, ever start out that way.Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self-control. Ironically (讽刺的是), only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to them, can ever come to some day develop a “taste” for Budweiser beer, Marlboro cigarettes, or dark-roasted Starbucks coffee. We do it for social acceptance. We force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, in order to seem experienced, grown-up, and cool.These bad habits aren’t self-control failures —far from it. They are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self-control successes. Self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful. To live happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our self-control, but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it.28．What do most people think causes bad behavior?A．Being forced by others. B．Not having enough will power.C．Enjoying their first experiences. D．Followingthe examples of their friends.29．The author mentionshis experience in the third paragraph to prove ____.A．will power helps develop bad habits sometimesB．drinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagersC．self-control should be developed when one is youngD．everyone can be challenged by different temptations30．In the last paragraph, the author stresses that ____.A．without self-control,no one can succeedB．bad habits don’t always lead to bad resultsC．applying self-control correctly is importantD．people can develop wisdom from bad behavior31．What does the passage mainly tells about ?A．The Author’s First Sip of Beer B．Everyone Should Have Will PowerC．Will Power Benefits Us D．Dark Side of Self-controlSome inventions are so useful, but seem so simple, that we wonder why no one thought of them long ago. Post-it Notes, the pieces of paper that you can stick almost anywhere and then remove without leaving any sign that they are there, are an exampleof such an invention.Post-it Notes were invented about twenty years agoby Art Fry, a scientist at 3M Corporation. The idea for the product came from an upsettingexperience he often had while singing in his church choir. Fry used pieces of paper as bookmarks to mark the places in his book of songs, but these bookmarks were always falling out. He knew he needed a bookmark that would stay where he put it, but that he could remove without damaging the pages.Around that time, Fry heard about a new adhesive(粘合剂) that a colleague, Dr. Spence Silver had created. This adhesive was special because it was sticky, but not too sticky. It was strong enough to hold papers together, but weak enough not to tear the paper when it was removed. Fry saw that the new adhesive could help solve his bookmark problem. One morning, Fry put some of the adhesive on the edge of a piece of paper. Just as he hoped, it made a perfect bookmark.A short time later, Fry realized that his new invention had even more uses than being a great bookmark. He came to this realization when he wrote a note on one of his new “bookmarks” and attached it to a report he was going to give to a colleague. Soon, co-workers were asking Fry for more sample of his invention so that they could use the new type of notes themselves.Fry and some other people at 3M believed so much in the new product that they persuaded the company to give away thousands of the sticky pieces of paper for trial use. When some salespeople at 3M went to offices and showed workers just how helpful the new type of notes could be, they immediately received many orders. As more and more people discovered how useful Post-itNotes could be, the product took off.32．The invention of Post-it Notes showed that Art Fry _____.A．had a lot of knowledge. B．was very hard-working.C．was good at creative thinking D．loved his job in the church33．In what way did Dr. Spence help Art Fry?A．They worked together and often discussed science.B．His invention of a special adhesive made Art’s invention possible.C．He persuaded 3M Corporation to give away lotsof Post-it Notes for trial use.D．He cooperated with Artby providing the new adhesivefor Art.34．Which of the following is a possible use of Post-it Notes?A．A note on a friend’s door. B．An e-mail to a friend.C．a postcard from abroad. D．An ad in a newspaper.35．The biggest advantageof Post-it Notes is _____.A．it can stay anywhereand leave no sign when removed.B．it is very cheap to use.C．it is good to write notes onD．it is very thin and beautiful三、完形填空“Everything happens forthe best,” my mother said whenever I faced __36___. “Ifyou can ___37___ , one day something good will happen.

Butin an age of growing environmental awareness, it is not too difficult for us to imagine and understand this new form of holiday.Ecotourism, which is considered as a kind of responsible tourism, is typically defined as travel to places where special and unusual plants, animals and cultural heritages are the main attractions.57．Therefore, some natural and cultural spots also form a part of ecotourism.Ecotourism is developingat great speed. According to a recent report by the World Tourism Organization, ecotourism in recent years has enjoyed an annual growth of about 5% worldwide.58．They included bird watching, hiking, diving, photography and taking part in various kinds of local cultural events.59．However, it looks like some smaller towns and country areas may well become the new destinations for people to visit tomorrow because they are rich in ecological, cultural and historical resource.Ecotourism has been gaining increasing recognition and popularity mainly for the relaxing, natural and vivid experience it offers to tourists.

Smiling is a kind of good will but not sneer (嘲笑). For example: When a child66．(fall) off from a bike, the adults in China may smile,67．is a kind of gentle encouragement and may not be a kind of impolite laugh.Related 68．the smile is the laugh.
