It wo uld seem to be a routine task for a cake chef，but Maricel is no ordinary chef—she has no hands.Maricel has come a long way since the day in September 200 0 when she and her uncle were attacked near their farm. Fort unately, both of them survived, but the 11yearold girl lost her hands. In 2004，she entered a Manila training centre for people with disabilitie s. She learned how to write and do housework and，more importantly, came to terms with her disability.After graduation from high school, she took a twoyear Hotel a nd Restaurant Management course and flourished even though she was the only disabled student in the course. After she moved back to Manila to continue her studies, the media start ed reporting on this determined young woman.

We live in Edinburgh but all of ou r relatives live in other cities: my mother’s family live an hour a way by car, and my father’s family live an hour away by plane. These relatives really don’t live that far away, but it’s still not easy to visit them. As a result, family occasions such as wedding and important birthdays are big events. They provide an o pportunity to see relations that I haven’t seen for a long time. Living abroad means that I miss many of these family get-togethers. That includes yesterday when I missed my mother’s birthday. It wasn’t a big birthday—she didn’t turn 60 or anything like that, but it’s still a birthday. Since moving to Colombia, I have also missed my father’s an d my sister’s birthdays as well as Christmas. During all of the t ime that I have lived abroad, two or three of my cousins have married and they even now have had children.These events leave me feeling like I’m missing out—and really, I am. My mother and my father try to keep me upd ated, but I understand that it can be hard to remember everyt hing. Given that I choose to live abroad, it is really up to me to make the effort to stay updated and to be part of these occasi ons from far away.For example, yesterday I sent my mother a present for her birt hday. It can be challenging to know what my mother wants wh en I am so far from home. When there is a special occasion at home, I try to phone. Thankfully, programs such as Skype m ake these calls cheap and usually quite easy. But last Christm as Day when all Internet cafés were closed, I did have to make one very expensive call.8.

We can learn from the second paragraph that the writer ___ ____ .A. is proud to live in ColombiaB. misses his family get-togethersC. keeps his mother’s birthday in mindD. is eager to go ba ck to his hometown10. The last Christmas Day, the writer _______ .A. spent a lot of money phoningB. made a distant call t hrough SkypeC. sent his mother a birthday presentD. found it impossible to go home alone11. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text?A. To tell his unusual experience abroad.B. To show the disadvantages of living abroad.C. To introduce some tips on living well alone.D. To recall his miserable life in Colombia.（D）Today just as technology changed the face of industry, farm s have undergone an "agricultural revolution". On the farm of t oday, machines provide almost all the power.One of the most important benefits will be the farm compute r. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently. The computers help them keep m ore accurate records so they can make better decisions on w hat crops to plant, how much livestock to buy, when to sell the ir products, and how much profit they can expect. Many comp uter companies have been developing special computer progr ams just for farmers. Programs are being written for hog prod ucers, grain farmers, potato farmers, and dairy farmers. In the future, farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs. Because of the growing importance of c omputers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are re quired to take computer classes in addition to their normal agr icultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future. While the old-time farm depended on horse power, and modern farms depend on machine power, farms of the future will depend on com puter power.Another technological advance which is still in the experime ntal stage is the robot, a real "mechanized hired hand" that wil l be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human bein g. Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots will make startling changes in farming before the end of the century. Unlike farmers of the present, farmers of t he future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them. Scientists are now developin g robots that will be able to shear sheep, drive tractors, and h arvest fruit. Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For ex ample, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive the m into the barn, then connect them to the milking machines, w atch the machines, and disconnect them when they are finish ed. In the future, this will all be done by robots. In addition, wh en the milking is completed, the robots will automatically chec k to make sure that the milk is pure. The complete mobilizatio n of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that so me robots will be used before long.12. according to the passage, computers can not helpfarmers decide _______.A. how much money they can earn from their productsB. whether to plant a certain kind of cropC. what livestock to raiseD. when to sell their products13. Which of the following statements is true?A. Farmers in the future will depend totally on computers.B. Both computers and robots have been in use on today's far ms.C. Farmers mainly use machines on their farms at present.D. Students at agricultural colleges must take computer class es because they can do nothing without the help of computer s on today's farms.14. according to the engineers, _______will be done by robots in the near future.A. all farm workB. milking cowsC. most of the farm workD. some farm work15. What is the best title for the whole passage?A. Computer, Farmers' Best FriendB. Farmers in The Futur eC. The Agricultural RevolutionD. Computers and Robots第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文的内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项是多余的。

绝密★启用前[首发]广东省揭阳市惠来一中、揭东一中2016-2017学年高一下学期期末联考英语试题试卷副标题考试范围：xxx ；考试时间：75分钟；命题人：xxx学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________注意事项．1．答题前填写好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息 2．请将答案正确填写在答题卡上第I 卷（选择题）一、阅读理解（题型注释）Some colors people see late at night could cause signs of clinical （临床的）depression (沮丧). That was the finding of a study that builds on earlier study findings. They show that individuals (个人) who live or work in low levels of light overnight (整夜) can develop clinical depression. Doctors use the word “clinical depression” to describe severe form of depression. Signs may include loss of interest or pleasure in most activities, low energy levels and thoughts of death or suicide.In the new study, American investigators designed an experiment that exposed hamsters （仓鼠）to different colors. The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal （夜行的）, which means they sleep during the day and are active at night.The animals were separated into four groups. One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their night-time period. Another group was placed in front of a blue light, a third group slept in front of a white light, while a fourth was put in front of a red light.After four weeks, the researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank. They试卷第2页，共13页found that the most depressed animals drank the least amount of water.Randy Nelson heads the Department of Neuroscience at Ohio State University. He says animals that slept in blue and white lig ht appeared to be the most depressed. “What we saw is that these animals didn’t show any sleep uneasiness (不安) at all but they did mess up biological clock genes and they did show depressive sign while if they were in the dim （微弱）red light, they did not.”Randy Nelson notes that photosensitive （感光）cells in the eyes have little to do with eyesight. He says these cells send signals to the area of the brain that controls what has been called the natural sleep-wake cycle.He says there’s a lot of blue in white li ght. This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness. 1、Researchers use hamsters in the experiment because __________. A ．they are similar to humans in dealing with colors B ．they are easy to observe and studyC ．they are sensitive to colors like human beingsD ．they are active at night and sleep during the day 2、What sign shows that the hamsters are being depressed?A ．They drink less sugary water.B ．They don’t sleep well.C ．Their eyesight becomes worse.D ．Their energy level becomes low.3、What can help people who work late at night to avoid being depressed? A ．Not being exposed to dim red light when using computers. B ．Equipping their computer screens to put it more in the reddish light. C ．Living or working in low levels of light overnight.D ．Going to see doctors of clinical depression regularly for help.People all need friends because nobody wants to be lonely and a friend can help you in good and bad times. You have made friends since childhood, but you still don’t know who your true friends are. Here are some signs to tell you if your friend is a true friend: Always honestHonesty is important to keep a relationship alive. A true friend always tells you the truth. It maybe hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship. It is important that your friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories.There are always periods in your life when you have problems or difficulties. A true friend will always have time to listen to your problems and give advice. It may not be able to offer a solution to your problems but the fact that your friend made time to listen is a sign he/she cares for you. Your friend is not a true friend if he/she can never make time for you when you are in trouble. You also need to be reasonable and accept that your friend also has other things to do so he/she can’t always listen immediately to your problems.Always respectful (尊敬的)A true friend will always respect your opinion no matter whether he/she agrees or not. Your true friend may disagree but never insists that he/she is correct.Always understandingIt is possible that some problems will arise between you and your friend. A true friend will always be forgiving (体谅的) and understanding even if it isn’t his/her fault. We are all different people and we all make mistakes. A true friend is always forgiving and understanding because he/she do esn’t want to take the risk of losing his/her best friend.4、What’s the best title for the third paragraph?A．Always there for you B．Keep your secrets C．Always happy for you D．Remember your importantdays5、According to the passage, a true friend will always________.A．follow your adviceB．offer a solution for your problemsC．listen immediately to your problemsD．respect your opinion even if he/she disagrees with it6、Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A．Never tell lies to friends.

I decided to cheer her up by buying her a special Mother’s Day gift.One day after school I rode my bike to the Agins, which, I learned years later, was known for its high-end fashions (时尚) and styles. I introduced myself to Sylvia Agins, telling her I was looking for a Mother’s Day present.“Do you think she’d like a purse?” she asked. I told her. I thought she might.She took out an Italian handbag made of leather. She asked me what I thought, and I told her that my mom would like it.“How much money do you have?” she asked. “Twelve dollars,” I said.“You’re in luck,” she told me. “It’s only $11. You have a dollar left over for the card.” She gift-wrapped the purse and thanked me for my business, and I rode off home with the package under my arm.When my mother opened the gift the next Sunday morning, she asked in an accusing tone, “Where did you get this?”“I bought it at the Agins. It cost me $11.” I said. My mother was shocked into silence.It wasn’t until many years later, when I learned that the purse was worth several hundred dollars, that I appreciated just how wonderful Sylvia Agins had been to me. I always felt bad that I never had a chance to properly thank her.“You know, my son, what really amazes me to this day,” my mother said, “Letting you have the purse for just a few dollars was unbelievable enough. But the fact that she let you leave the store with a dollar for the card was a touch of kindness that I’ll never forget.” 8、The author bought his mother a purse to ________.A ．surprise his motherB ．make his mother happyC ．show his ability of making moneyD ．thank his mother for buying him a bike9、Why was the author’s mother shocked into silence?

But the first step to keep your child safe in your neighborhood is to know your neighbors.Knowing your neighbors can save you a lot of worry. It lets you know that the car that has just driven down the street belongs to “the yellow house on the corner”, or the truck that has just driven by the playground looks unfamiliar, but the guy in the passenger seat resides two doors down. It’s these simple things that keep you from going_out_of_your_mind whenever you see someone driving by where children are playing.But you shouldn’t just know what they look like. The next step is to know them well. What do they do？How do they act？You might be OK with them driving by the playground since they live in the neighborhood, but are you OK with them being on the playground? Knowing your neighbors solves several things. First you find out what kind of people they are. This helps you know if you should let your child go out in an area where they gather. Let us face it: you do not want your child to play around people or people’s children that curse (咒骂) or hit each other. Sometimes you have to protect your child against your own neighbors.Knowing them also makes them know you. Being neighbors is an interesting thing. You might not like them or have the same views as them, but we all usually protect those that we consider our own. If you know your neighbors, they know you. They are more likely to look after thechild of the nice lady down the street in the brick (砖) house, than the people, in the house on试卷第6页，共13页the corner, who no one ever sees.12、This passage is mainly to tell us________. A ．how to keep your child safe in the neighborhood B ．how to set a good example to your neighbors C ．how to get along with your neighbors D ．how to teach your child to protect himself 13、If someone resides two doors down, he________. A ．studies at the same school with your kid B ．often comes to the neighborhood to offer help C ．lives in the same neighborhood as youD ．likes driving the truck around the neighborhood[14、The underlined phrase “going out of your mind” in Paragraph 2 probably means________. A ．becoming very excited B ．becoming very worried C ．becoming very disappointed D ．becoming very relaxed15、From the third paragraph we can know that________. A ．it is important for you to be polite to your neighbors B ．people in the same neighborhood are quite different C ．people like enjoying themselves on the playground D ．knowing your neighbors helps to keep your kids safe二、完形填空（题型注释）In 2012, I had just recovered from a serious illness when I received an invitation to a writer’s conference in Orlando, Florida.
