the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world.It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls,as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries.Unique works of this kind are different from today’s popular art,even if they began as works of popular art.They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future.In a 1757 essay,the philosopher David Hume argued that because “the general principles of taste are uniform(不变的) in human nature,”the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent.He observed that Homer was still admired after two thousand years.Works of this type,he believed,spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art.For example,evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction.The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before.Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist.1.According to the passage,what do we know about cultural relativism?A.It introduces different cultural values.B.It explains the history of artistic works.C.It relates artistic values to local conditions.D.It excites the human mind throughout the world.2.In Paragraph 2,the artists are mentioned in order to show that .A.great works of art can go beyond national boundariesB.history gives art works special appeal to set them apartC.popular arts are hardly distinguishable from great artsD.great artists are skilled at combining various cultures3.According to Hume,some works of art can exist for centuries because .A.they are results of scientific studyB.they establish some general principles of artC.they are created by the world’s greatest artistsD.they appeal to unchanging features of human nature4.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A.Are Artistic Values Universal?B.Are Popular Arts Permanent?C.Is Human Nature Uniform?D.Is Cultural Relativism Scientific?BLooking for a new way to raise money for charity (慈善)?Has your school run out of clever and fun ideas?Don’t give up.There are several ways to support your favorite charity.How about organizing a car wash?Everybody who has a car sooner or later washes it or has it washed.So why don’t you and your classmates do the job?The money the car owners pay for having their cars washed will go towards your charity.When we did it,we had an amazing time!At first,some of us were worried about getting wet or dirty and it’s true.But we also had fun,and at the end of the day it was really worth it!On the other hand,if you don’t feel like getting wet or messy,but have some musical talent,how about organizing a street concert?Street musicians can make a lot of money,and so canyou if you’ve got the talent and courage it takes to play in front of the audience.You just need to find a suitable place,practice for a few hours with your friends first,and then give it a try!I hope the above ideas have helped you a bit,and if you’ve got any other great suggestions,we would love to hear them and practice them,too.Good luck!5.What does the writer think of car wash?A.It’s dirty but fun.B.It’s easy but dirty.C.It’s easy and fun.D.It’s cheap and dirty.6.What do the underlined word “audience” in the 3rd paragraph mean?A.Passengers.B.Listeners.C.Musicians.D.Teachers.7.What might be the best title for this passage?A.How to Wash a CarB.How to Organize a Street ConcertC.Ways to Raise Money for CharityD.Ways to Make Money After School8.The writer of the passage is most probably a .A.studentB.parentC.driverD.singerCWant to live longer?Win an Oscar.A new study says that actors who received the award earn more than larger paychecks.So when 94-year-old Katharine Hepburn once remarked that she was respected internationally “like an old building”,she had no idea that her four Oscars directly influenced her longevity(长寿).The study says winning actors will live 3.9 years longer than their losing counterparts (对手).Actors who have won more than once,like Hepburn,live up to six years longer than those who were nominated (提名) but never won.“We found that they died from the same things we all die from—cancer,heart disease,but they fought them a bit longer and diseases came a bit later,” says Dr.Donald Redelmeier,theleading author of the study.Redelmeier says the sense of success and satisfaction makes one’s soul become more full of life.“We are not saying that you will live longer if you win an Oscar,” explains Redelmeier,“or that people should go out and take acting courses.Our main conclusion is simply that social factors are important.” The study’s implied conclusion,he says,is that doctors should ask about their patients’ personal feelings because mental well-being is related to physical health.Redelmeier says he got the idea for the study when he watched a glowing Gwyneth Paltrow win an Oscar in 1999 for her role in Shakespeare in Love.Redelmeier says,“She looked more full of life than anyone I had seen.”“We found,too,those that had multi-nominations and no win had the same life expectancy as those with just a single nomination and no win,” Redelmeier adds.9.The longevity of Oscar winners mainly has something to do with.A.the big money that was awardedB.mental factorsC.rich and colorful livesD.respect from others and better treatment10.Tom had five Oscar nominations but win no Oscar and Peter had only one nomination and won no Oscar either.We can tell.A.Tom probably will have a longer life than PeterB.Peter probably will have a longer life than TomC.both Tom and Peter probably will have the same life expectancyD.both Tom and Peter probably will have a long life11.According to the passage,we know .A.when Katharine Hepburn was 94,she knew her long life had something to do with her 4 Oscar prizesB.in general the number of Oscar prizes has nothing to do with a person’s life expectancyC.that Gwyneth Paltrow’s full of life made Redelmeier decide to do the studyD.if you want to live a happy and long life,you should take acting courses and win Oscars12.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Most Oscar Winners Live Longer LivesB.How to Get a Long LifeC.A New Study about Long LivesD.An Amazing FindingDGrant Wood’s American Gothic caused a stir(轰动)in 1930 when it was exhibited for the first time at the Art Institute of Chicago and awarded a prize of 300 dollars.Newspapers across the country carried the story,and the painting of a farmer and a younger woman posed before a white house brought the artist instant fame.In 1930,Grant Wood,an American painter with European training,noticed a small white house built in the small southern Iowa town of Eldon.Wood was so fascinated by it that he decided to paint the house along with the kind of people he thought should live in that house.In the painting,the farmer is modeled on his dentist.Dr.Byron McKeeby.His younger sister Nan served as a model for the woman (imagined to be the farmer’s wife or daughter).Wood wanted to give a description of the traditional roles of men and women as the man is holding a pitchfork(干草叉) symbolizing hard labor.Each element was painted separately;the models sat separately and never stood in front of the house.The Gothic style of the house inspired the painting’s title.American Gothic remains one of the most famous paintings in the history of Americanart.The painting has become part of American popular culture.Some believe that Wood used it to satirize(讽刺) the narrow-mindedness that has been said to characterize Midwestern culture.The painting may also be read as a praise of the moral virtue or rural America or even as a mixture of praise and satire.American Gothic is one of the few images to reach the status of cultural symbol,along with Leonardo da Vinci’s the Mona Lisa.13.What can we learn about American Gothic?A.It won a prize of £300.B.The two characters in it posed before the White House.C.It was the first painting by Grant Wood.D.It was on show at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1930.14.From the passage we can infer Iowa is in .A.the southern town of EldonB.the Midwest of the United StatesC.a European countryD.the city of Chicago15.Grant Wood chose the two models .A.to describe traditional roles of men and womenB.to praise the moral virtue of rural AmericaC.to make his dentist and his sister famousD.to carry the story across the country16.The title of the painting is based on .A.the name of a small townB.the man and the womanC.the Gothic style of the houseD.the pitchfork symbolizing hard labor四.词汇运用:1.

AJamie Oliver, a lively British guy, loves to share his secrets. In his first television show, The Naked Chef, Oliver taught everyone to make simple but delicious food. In Jamie's Kitchen, he taught young people how to prepare meals. His next show,Jamie's School Dinners, is about changing the food that students eat.Oliver saw that some schools in Britain were serving junk food — food that is easy to eat but unhealthy. Although it can be delicious, junk food is not very good for children. It is sometimes bad for their health, because it doesn't give them the energy they need at school. They sometimes can't think well or feel down, and they sometimes put on weight.Some of the junk food that Oliver wants to change is canned spaghetti, chicken nuggets, French fries, soda, and muffins. He encourages schools to serve fresh and healthy meats, vegetables, and fruits. He helps the school cooks to make healthy dinners without junk food.People liked Oliver's idea of bringing quality food to schools. Thousands enjoyed his television show. But Oliver wanted them to do more than just watch. At his Feed Me Better website, he collected over 270,000 signatures (签名) from people. Oliver sent these signatures to British Prime Minister (首相) Tony Blair. Then Blair promised to help change the school kitchens, teach school cooks to make healthy food, and spend more on school dinners. Thanks to Jamie Oliver, my children will be ableto enjoy more healthy meals at school.21. What are Jamie Oliver's secrets about?A. Cooking and eating.B. How to be a good cook.C. Exercising and sleeping.D. Where to buy healthy food.22. Which of the following may Oliver like best?A. Muffins.B. Bananas.C. French fries.D. Chicken nuggets.23. Why were over 270,000 signatures collected?A. To put healthy food in schools.B. To keep school kitchens cleaner.C. To lower food prices in schools.D. To collect money for poor children.24. Who might be the author of the text?A. A student.B. Tony Blair.C. A parent.D. Jamie Oliver.BThe Hawaii Volcanoes National ParkThe Hawaii Volcanoes (火山) National Park, on the island of Hawaii, has two active volcanoes: Mauna Loa, which last erupted (喷发) in 1984, is 13,677 feet (4.17 km) above sea level; Kilauea is next to Mauna Loa and it has been erupting since January 3rd, 1983. It is 4,190 feet (1.23 km) above sea level.When to visitThe park is open 24 hours a day all year round. There are no plants or trees on the lava (火山岩) fields and no protection from the sun, so you must bring sunscreen (防晒霜).How to get thereThe best way to get to the park is to take Highway 11. From the airport at Hilo, Highway 11 will take you southward across the eastern part of the island.Things to seeIf you want to know more about the park, the Kilauea Visitor Center is surely a stop to make. It is a quarter of a mile (402 m) from the park entrance. There, you can see a great movie about real lava and learn about the island's natural and cultural history. The center is open from 7:45 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. There are also many guided walks and hikes (徒步旅行) around the park. You must check weather conditions andvolcanic activity before hiking alone. If possible, you may drive down Chain of Craters Road to see lava flowing into the ocean.TicketsEntrance to the park is $10.00 for each vehicle, $5.00 for those who travel on foot or ride a bicycle. Children under the age of 15 are free.25. Different from Mauna Loa, Kilauea _____.A. will disappear soonB. is closed to visitorsC. erupts more oftenD. is much bigger26. The Kilauea Visitor Center _____.A. offers all kinds of moviesB. is next to the park entranceC. is open for 8 hours every dayD. introduces visitors to the park27. If a family of three drives a car into the park, they need to pay _____.A. $5.00B. $10.00C. $15.00D. $20.0028. The text is most probably taken from _____.A. a geography textbookB. a newspaper reportC. a travel magazineD. a research paperCA group of scientists in the Netherlands recently used high-tech methods to examine a secret hidden inside an ancient Chinese statue (雕像). It was sent to the Drents Museum in the northeastern Netherlands as part of an exhibit. But while working on the statue, researchers took the chance to study the body of a Buddhist monk (佛僧) inside it.The statue was shipped to a medical center for CT scans, which are tests that produce X-ray pictures. Scientists used the technology to find out the statue's hidden secrets. The body of the monk was sitting on top of a roll of cloth marked with Chinese characters (字). The cloth shows that the monk was named Liuquan and lived around the year 1100.“On the outside, it looked like a large statue of Buddha,” said Vincent van Vilsteren from the Drents Museum. “What flabbergasted me was that, on the inside, itwas the mummy (干尸) of a Buddhist monk. Later we learned that for the first 200 years, the mummy was probably placed in a Buddhist temple. Only in the 14th century did they do all the work to move it into a nice statue.”Researchers at the Drents Museum still have a lot of questions about the mummy. It is believed to be the only Chinese Buddhist mummy that has been studied outside Asia. Scientists hope that DNA testing on the mummy will help them learn more about it. Further research may dig up more information about the monk in the months to come.29. What is special about the statue?A. Something unusual is in it.B. It is a modern Chinese statue.C. It is made of different kinds of material.D. Strange characters can be seen on its surface.30. Research showed that the monk _____.A. died of a terrible diseaseB. lived around the 12th centuryC. sat on an ancient Chinese bookD. was burned right after his death31. The underlined word “flabbergasted” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_____”.A. disturbedB. satisfiedC. surprisedD. saved32. What is the text mainly about?A. Ancient Chinese statues.B. The Drents Museum.C. Buddhism in China.D. A mummified monk.DWhen we go on the Internet, we usually need a web address that ends with a suffix (后缀) such as .com, .net, .org, etc. Did you know that since 1984 only 22 suffixes have been used on the World Wide Web? Now more such suffixes are going to be available. Government bodies, cities, companies, or even a single person will be able to get any suffix they want as long as they'd like to pay $185,000 for it.A generic top level domain (gTLD) is the suffix on the right of the domain name (域名).

Early in the morning of the 1st of the first lunar month they go to their relatives and friends' homes to send their congratulations by saying“GongXi”.

The BBC sponsored music and drama performances, began producing TV shows in 1932 and established a TV service using new technology in 1936. Then 1937 brought a great triumph for BBC television—outdoor broadcasting. Using eight miles of cables and several tons of equipment, the BBC brought images of King George VI’s coronation into homes across Britain.A large number of people witnessed the pass of the crown at that time.During World War II, the BBC stopped its television broadcasts but not its radio service. In 1940,its‘ headquarters in London were bombed during the morning news.

It tells the story of a young girl named Alice, who follows a rabbit entering a magical world called Wonderland. She has many experiences which seem to change the rules of reasoning or common sense. The popularity of the book comes from its imagination, interesting story, and art work.The writer of t he book is Lewis Carroll. In fact, Lewis Carroll was not the writer’s real name. His real name was Charles Dodgson. One day, he took a boat ride down the Thames River to have a picnic with three little girls who were friends of the family. To keep them entertained on the ride, he told them a story in which Alice, the middle child, was the main character. They enjoyed the story very much.Charles later wrote the story down under the name Alice’s Adventures Under Ground and gave it to Alice as a Christmas present. Later, he gave a copy to his friend George MacDonald. George read it to his children and they loved it. George suggested to Charles that he make a book from his story. Charles then wrote more parts to the story until it was around 35,000 words. It was first printed in 1866, with art work by John Tenniel, under the name Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The book was an immediate success.One of its first fans was Queen Victoria. She immediately requested a collection of all of Lewis Carroll’s works. She was surprised to find that they included many works on math. In fact, Charles Dodgson was a highly respected mathematician. This can be seen in many puzzles and plays on reasoning that appear in his books and poems.Since the story was first printed, it has kept selling up to the present day. It has been translated into over fifty languages and has had several movies based on it. The story is even mentioned in the popular 1999 film The Matrix by the character Morpheus.48.

I bought the CD because I wanted to run in a race and hopefully win!I had promised my 10-year-old son Todd that I would run in a race with him. Unfortunately, however, when that race came about, his left leg was hurt in a car accident. Without him running with me, although I took part in that race, yet I didn’t do quite well in it.While Todd couldn’t run together with me because of h is injury, he never forgot the promise I made for him. He was always asking me whether I would keep my promise when he recovered in the future. So I decided I was going to train and go all out to win the next race. What I needed was motivation (动力). It happened that one of my friends mentioned the CD which he liked very much, saying that he got a lot from the music in it when feeling down. So I bought it and listened to it while exercising every day.It was amazing what happened to my thinking as I listened to it daily. I started to think about the repeated words on the CD—“I enjoy exercise”. Instead of dreading exercise, I was thinking, “I enjoy exercise.”I found out how important words are that we play in our minds every day. I went from a person who seldom exercised to someone who started to exercise daily. Just think how our lives will improve if we reflect on the uplifting and motivating words of the famous works. I have found the positive messages have greatly improved my thinking and then changed my life.How did I do in that race, you might be thinking? I actually won the gold medal in my age group.7.Why did the author take part in the race by herself?A. She would like to win the race.B. She had a good talent for running.C. Her son got injured in a car accident.D. Her son was unwilling to run with her.8.How did the author get the motivation for training?A. By recalling some inspiring stories.B. By listening to the CD while running.C. By getting timely help from his friend.D. By forcing herself into keeping running.9.What does the underlined word “dreading” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Fearing.B. Improving.C. Preferring.D. Taking.10.What message does the author intend to deliver to us?A. It’s important to avoid injury while running.B. The motivating words make a difference to us.C. Parents should get along well with children.D. We can build up our bodies by regular exercise.DLocal officials in Beijing promised to further protect the city's cultural heritage, in particular the narrow streets known as hutongs.Hutongs are commonly found in the cities of North China, but they are at risk. Beijing is currently believed to have fewer than 1,000 hutongs, most of which are near the Imperial Palace. Only 60 years ago, the number was 3,250. In the old districts of Dongcheng and Xicheng, which cover 62 square kilometers, some people will be asked to move out from hutong houses to avoid further damage to the ancient architecture."On average more than 100,000 people visit the Imperial Palace during the National Day holiday. The visitors put pressure on the protection of cultural relics," said Huang Yan, director of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Planning, adding that hutongs should be protected from human damage.The government focused on how the protection plans were carried out and how the management of the cultural heritage worked. Wang Shaofeng, head of the Xicheng district government, said the area has 182 cultural relics, many of which were built asfar back as the Yuan Dynasty (1271—1368). The district of Xicheng has 1.28 million residents in its 57 square kilometers of land. "The most efficient way is to decrease the local population to reduce the possibility of causing harm to the heritage," Wang said."Each community has been required to report the status of its cultural heritage, especially hutongs, and any action that will damage the heritage will be punished," Wang said.No one knows for sure how many hutongs will be left in the coming 100 years.11.How many hutongs have disappeared in the past sixty years in Beijing?A.Less than 1,000.B.About 2,000.C.More than 3,000.D.Over 4,000.12.According to Huang Yan, what is the main cause of the damage to cultural relics?A.Visitors' activities.B.Residents'attitude.munities' behaviour.D.The government's policy.13.Which of the following is a useful way to protect hutongs?A.To attract more visitors.B.To punish anyone damaging them.C.To increase the local population.D.To forbid everyone getting close to them.14.What will happen to hutongs in the near future?A.Only time will tell.B.No one will remember them.C.The number will be growing.D.Hutongs will disappear completely.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It tells the story of a young girl named Alice, who follows a rabbit entering a magical world called Wonderland. She has many experiences which seem to change the rules of reasoning or common sense. The popularity of the book comes from its imagination, interesting story, and art work.The writer of the book is Lewis Carroll. In fact, Lewis Carroll was not the writer’s real name. His real name was Charles Dodgson. One day, he took a boat ride down the Thames River to have a picnic with three little girls who were friends of the family. To keep them entertained on the ride, he told them a story in which Alice, the middle child, was the main character. They enjoyed the story very much.Charles later wrote the story down under the name Alice’s Adventures Under Ground and gave it to Alice as a Christmas present. Later, he gave a copy to his friend George MacDonald. George read it to his children and they loved it. George suggested to Charles that he make abook from his story. Charles then wrote more parts to the story until it was around 35,000 words. It was first printed in 1866, with art work by John Tenniel, under the name Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The book was an immediate success.One of its first fans was Queen Victoria. She immediately requested a collection of all of Lewis Carroll’s works. She was surprised to find that they included many works on math. In fact, Charles Dodgson was a highly respected mathematician. This can be seen in many puzzles and plays on reasoning that appear in his books and poems.Since the story was first printed, it has kept selling up to the present day. It has been translated into over fifty languages and has had several movies based on it. The story is even mentioned in the popular 1999 film The Matrix by the character Morpheus.48.

AFrom early times, man has been interested in art. People have often worked together tocollect and save the world’s art treasures. Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre in Paris, France. The works of art have been collected by the people ofFrance over many centuries. It is one of the biggest art museums in the world.The Louvre has not always been a museum. The first building was a fort(堡垒). In 1190, it(护城河)to keep out thewas the king’s castle with high walls and a round tower. It had a moatenemies. Over the years, the number of buildings around the castle grew. By 1350, the castle nolonger needed a fort. The Louvre became a palace home for French kings and queens.During the time of peace, new treasures were brought in. During the days of war, many treasures were stolen, and the buildings were damaged.When Francis I became the King of France in 1515, he brought in many artists from otherMona Lisa is the best countries. One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy. Da Vinci’s known painting in the museum today.In 1793, the Louvre became a public museum.

Historians and scientists have long believed that ancient Egypt’most famous king was probably murdered. But a recent scientific study claims to have founda different answer to this more than 3,300-year-old mystery. A team of researchers now saythat King Tut, the boy ruler, died of complications (并发症)from a broken leg.Tut’s full name was Tutankhamun. He was just 9 years old when he became the ruler ofEgypt in 1333 BC. His treasure-filled tomb was discovered almost a century ago. It was filledwith royal riches, including a solid-gold coffin, a gold mask, and piles of jewelry.Unfortunately Tut died at the age of 19. Many experts have thought that Tut was killed byone of his advisers, named Ay, who wanted to be king. But thanks to a major modern scienceproject, it seems Ay is innocent.Researchers set out to solve the mystery of King Tut’s death by using the tools of science, including DNA tests and electronic scans of his mummy(木乃伊). Scientist Carsten Pusch carriedout the tests on Tut for the new study. He thinks a broken leg led to the young king’s dea than 100 walking sticks were found in King Tut’s tomb. This supports the team’s findings. Bu how could a person die from a simple broken leg?Pusch also found DNA evidence in Tut’s body that shows he had malaria, a disease carried by mosquitoes. Malaria seriously weakens the immune system(免疫系统).Pusch and his fellow researchers believe the malaria and the bone disease together caused the(骨折)to become deadly. Finally, the young king was just too weak to recover. Soking’s fractureeffects of the disease combined with the bad luck of a broken bone —not a jealous adviserlikely the real, causes of King Tut’s death.4. It has long been believed by historians and scientists that ________.A. King Tut was the youngest ruler in the world historyB. King Tut was the richest ruler in the history of EgyptC. King Tut was murdered by one of his advisersD. King Tut was poisoned by one of his servants.5. With the help of modern technology, the new study discovered that the king ________.A. died directly of a disease called malariaB. died of complications from abroken legC. died of a simple cut in the broken legD. was bitten to death by deadlymosquitoes6. Researchers uncovered the mystery of King Tut’s death by ________.A. testing the King’s immune systemB. studying the walking sticks foundin the tombC. performing experiments on mosquitoesD. applying DNA tests and electronicscan technology7. The passage mainly tells us about ________.A. a different answer to King Tut’s deathB. a famous boy king in ancient EgyptC. a treasure-filled tomb discovered in EgyptD. a team of researchers studying ancient tombsCIn the 1960s, while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park, Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that, oddly, had not troubled anyone before: he couldn’t find the park’s volcano. It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features. Butin nature —that’sChristiansen couldn’t find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.Most of us, when we talk about volcanoes, think of the classic cone(圆锥体)shapes of aFuji or Kilimanjaro, which are created when erupting magma(岩浆)piles up. These can form remarkably quickly. In 1943, a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a smallpart of his land. In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high. Withintwo years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across. Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth, all but a few hundred of them extinct. There is, however, a second less known type of volcano that doesn’t involve mountain building. These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack, leavingbehind a vast hole, the caldera. Yellowstone obviously was of this second type, but Christiansencouldn’t find the caldera anywhere.Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographsof Yellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on thecenters. As soon as assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the visitors’ Christiansen saw the photos, he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera: almost the wholepark —2.2 million acres —was caldera. The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across —much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level. At some time in the past Yellowstonemust have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans.8. What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone?A. Its complicated geographical features.B. Its ever-lasting influence on tourism.C. The mysterious history of the park.D. The exact location of the volcano.9. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?A. The shapes of volcanoes.B. The impacts of volcanoes.C. The activities of volcanoes.D. The heights of volcanoes.-up” in the last paragraph most probably mean?10. What does the underlined word “blowA. Hot-air balloon.B. Digital camera.C. Big photograph.D.Bird’s view.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

If you weigh yourself, you will know how much gravity is pulling you.Since there is gravity, water runs down hill. When you throw a ball into the air, it falls back down.Because of gravity, you do not fall off the earth as it whirls (旋转) around.Then, can we get away from the earth and go far out into space? Now you can do it, because spaceships have been invented. Then spaceship will go so fast that it can escape (逃出) the earth’s gravity and carry you into space.1.

One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission(录取) to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling.In 1849, after graduation from medical school, she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon (外科医师) , but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children. Besides, being the first woman physician and founding her own hospital, she also set up the first medical school for women.1.

Fifty years ago only a few English people go holidays abroad. People who didn’t travel thought of other countries as very far away and different. For example, people thought the French all eat garlic (大蒜), the Italians all eat spaghetti (细条实心面), and the Americans all drink Coca Cola. These definite (明确的) ideas of other nationalities are called stereotypes (陈规老套). But do we have the same stereotypes today? People travel more, we all watch the same TV programmers, and ideas travel quickly too. Nowadays everyone eats garlic and spaghetti and drinks Coca Cola.

Unit 1 单元测试题第二部分: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。
AInsects (昆虫) are a very healthy food. They have almost as much protein (蛋白质) as meat from a pig or cow and are low in fat. Eating insects is also very good for the environment since they need less land and water than larger animals.Marcel Dicke, who studies insects, explained in a talk how insects also produce more meat from the food they eat. For example, imagine a farmer feeds a cow 10 pounds of food. Those 10 pounds of food produce about 1 pound of meat for peopleto eat. However, imagine the farmer gives a certain number of insects 10 pounds of food. Those 10 pounds of food produce 9 pounds of meat for people to eat!Eating more insects can also help people in poor areas. Many people can raise and sell insects, which can provide jobs and food.But insects will not replace (替代) animal meat very quickly. First, people in some countries would have to change how they think about eating insects. Many people in North America and Europe eat a lot of meat like beef and pork. But they do not traditionally eat insects. In fact, for many people in the west, eating insects soundscrazy! They believe insects are dirty and dangerous. Insects make them feel uncomfortable.Some people are trying to deal with this problem. For example, David George Gordon wrote a book named “The Eat-A-Bug Co okbook”, which tries to show people that insects can be delicious. Other insect experts travel around telling people about the benefits (好处) of eating insects. But they still have a lot of work to do.21. Eating insects _____.A. is not healthyB. makes people put on fatC. helps protect large animalsD. is environmentally friendly22. The example of Marcel Dicke is given to show _____.A. the high cost of food productionB. it’s quite easy for farmers to raise insectsC. raising insects is a good choice for farmersD. the different ways of feeding cows and insects23. The long way eating insects has to go mainly results from _____.A. their terrible tasteB. people’s old beliefsC. family traditionsD. eating methods24. We can infer from David and other insect experts that _____.A. people can make a lot of money from insectsB. insects should be better protectedC. people should eat more insectsD. it’s dangerous to eat insectsBKhan Academy is a website providing a free education for any person. The website includes more than 4,000 short teaching videos about many different subjects. Every month, over 7 million people go to the Khan Academy website to watch its videos.Khan Academy began with one man named Salman Khan. As a young man, Khan got a degree from Harvard Business School and began to work in business.In 2006, Khan used the Internet to help his young cousins, who lived far away, with their mathematics schoolwork. He drew numbers and pictures on the website to teach them. After a time, he put his videos onto the website YouTube, where his cousins could watch them any time they wanted. But Khan noticed that other people were also watching his videos on YouTube.By 2009, the number of people watching his videos on YouTube was getting very large. Khan decided to make the videos his job instead. So he officially began Khan Academy, providing videos on mathematics and other school subjects.People did not have to pay to watch the videos. But they could give Khan money if they wanted to support (支持) his work. Some people did give Khan small amounts of money, but he was still having a hard time. Later, a woman told Khan that Bill Gates uses Khan Academy for his kids. After that, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation began giving money to Khan Academy. In 2010 Google gave the website money too, wanting Khan to translate his videos into the world’s most common languages. Today, people can see Khan’s videos in many different languages.Some people think that Khan Academy will be the way more and more people learn in the future. Teachers can use it in their classrooms. Khan believes that Khan Academy will never, and should never, replace a school. But he believes teachers and students can use it to make schools better.25. What can one get from Khan Academy?A. Video-making methods.B. Free learning information.C. Any help with the schoolwork.D. A good number of beautiful pictures.26. Salman Khan started Khan Academy _____.A. in 2006B. as a studentC. to satisfy the needs of learnersD. under the influence of his cousins27. What does Salman Khan think of Khan Academy?A. It will play an active role in school teaching.B. It can replace teachers in classrooms.C. It can replace a teaching school.D. It’s the future of education.CThe Tower of London, not a single tower but a large group, was built to guard London.Besides William and Henry VIII, the tower’s history has other famous name s in British history. In 1389 a clerk of works (现场监工员) named Geoffrey Chaucer —author of The Canterbury Tales— oversaw (监督) the building of the Tower Wharf. In 1671 Colonel Blood tried to steal the crown jewels (皇冠上镶的宝石) after overpowering the elderly Jewel House keeper. (Blood was caught but later pardoned.) Today the jewels remain in the tower as they have since Blood’s day.For six centuries this place was also home to a group of animals from elephants to big cats. It stopped being used as an animals’ home in 1835 and its animals were moved to the London Zoo.Today visitors can walk the walls, visit guard towers and see the crown jewels. Guards at the tower, popularly known as beefeaters, not only guard the tower but also give interesting tours that are among the most popular parts of any visit.How to Get ThereTrains and the Dockland Light Railway stop near the tower. Buses 15, 42, 78 and 100 reach the tower, and riverboats stop at Tower Pier. Taxis, bicycles, and foot power are also good ways to reach the tower. Driving is a less attractive choice because of the expensive parking.When to GoThe tower is open all year round, except during the Christmas holidays (December 24 to 26) and January 1. School holidays and summertime are the busiest times.How to VisitAs expected at a place that has seen so much history, there is enough of interest at the Tower of London to keep visitors busy for days. Stop at the Welcome Center for visitor information on everything from the crown jewels to family fun activities.28. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 shows _____.A. the tower was built by famous peopleB. some famous people caused trouble thereC. there were many famous people in British historyD. there were many interesting stories connected to the tower29. Beefeaters at the tower _____.A. have two rolesB. like to eat beefC. seem very seriousD. often joke with visitors30. According to the text, the Tower of London is _____.A. easy to reachB. full of parked carsC. busy all year roundD. a perfect place for a one-day tourDQuite a few years ago, as I celebrated my 25th birthday with a party, I was surprised to receive an unusual present. The gift-giver smiled widely and said loudly, “It’s a nice, strong plant, so even you can’t kill it.”I was well known in my circle of friends as an “anti-gardener” — how was I going to care for this piece of greenery?For four years the plant received little care. I felt guilty (内疚的) just looking at it!As a non-gardener, my offers to look after friends’ houses were met with laughter: “We appreciate (感激) the offer but, really, we don’t want to come home to a dead garden!” It didn’t occur to (想到) them that I just had no interest in having a garden. It was a choice, not a failing.Some time later my husband accepted a job in Belgium. Because I couldn’t throw away a gift, I decided to ask my neighbor to care for my plant.Our lovely house in Belgium had a beautiful garden. Slowly gardening became a part of my daily life, teaching me to slow down and to be happy in the silence of the garden. It was with regret that I left that garden to return to Sydney some months later.Back home life soon went back to normal. Then one day, it occurred to me that I could start my own little garden. So, I went to collect my unwanted plant from my neighbor. I took the plant home, watered it and watched as its leaves turned from a lifeless yellow to a rich green within weeks. Many years on, I still don’t know the name of my first plant, but I do know that as it grows, so do I. It symbolises a change in me when I stopped listening to the voices around me and started to believe in myself.31. When the author received a plant as a birthday gift, she felt _____.A. funnyB. guiltyC. excitedD. displeased32. What did the author’s friends think of her?A. Her anti-gardening was a weakness.B. She was bored with gardening.C. She was a good housekeeper.D. Her dead garden was ugly.33. How did the author deal with the plant before moving away?A. She threw it away.B. She asked for help.C. She left it in the house.D. She gave it to a neighbor as a gift.34. The author’s stay in Belgium made her _____.A. miss her days back in SydneyB. feel sorry for her first plantC. fall in love with gardeningD. become strangely silent35. What does the author want to tell us from her experience?A. We should try to be perfect.B. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes.C. We should learn to make clear choices.D. Don’t refuse something you’ve never tried.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
高中英语人教版必修2:Unit 1练习题一、阅读理解The Pharos,the great lighthouse of Alexandria,was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.It stood on the island of Pharos,in the harbor of the city of Alexandria.In 290 B.C,Ptolemy I Soter,the ruler of Egypt,ordered the building of the lighthouse.Twenty years later,it was finished — the first lighthouse in the world and the tallest building on Earth,besides the Great Pyramid of Egypt.The Pharos was designed by Sostrates,a Greek architect.Sostrates wanted to leave his name on the base of the lighthouse.But Ptolemy refused,ordering that only his own name appear on the building.But Sostrates found a way to do that.At the base of the Pharos,Sostrates left a message containing his own name.Then he covered it with plaster (建筑石膏) and left Ptolemy’s name over it.After many years,the plaster disappeared and people knew the true architect of the lighthouse.In 1302 and 1323,two strong earthquakes hit Alexandria,damaging the lighthouse.In 1326,it finally fell into the sea.Much of what we know about the lighthouse comes from the writings of Arabs who once visited the Pharos.The Pharos was about 384 feet tall,the same height as a modern 40-story building.At the top of the lighthouse stood a large statue of Poseidon,the Greek god of the sea.Under it was a beacon,the source of light for the lighthouse.The Pharos used two kinds of beacons.At night,a large fire created the light.During the day,a huge mirror made use of the sunlight to create the light.It was said that the mirror was also used to set enemy ships on fire as they entered the harbor by directing the sun’s rays (sunlight) at them.While the idea is interesting,it is also clearly impossible.1.Why did Sostrates use plaster at the base of the Pharos?A.To follow Ptolemy’s orders.B.To hide his name left on the base.C.To protect the base from damage.D.To make the lighthouse more beautiful.2.How long had the Pharos stayed standing?A.For about 800 years.B.For about 1,000 years.C.For about 1,600 years.D.For about 2,000 years.3.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.The statue.B.A large fire.C.A huge mirror.D.The lighthouse.4.What’s the main purpose of the text?A.To explain why the Pharos was built.B.To find more secrets about the Pharos.C.To introduce the true architect of the Pharos.D.To offer some basic facts about the Pharos.二、完形填空I took my son to a popular restaurant for a lunchtime treat.And it seems everyone else had the same1.The place was full of 2!I drove around the small parking lot for 10 minutes3 a spot.Finally I 4one.A lady was returning to her car so I 5her and waited patiently.As I did this I looked in my rear vision mirror and 6 a young man quickly pull up behind me.As soon as he saw my indicator (转向灯) on for the spot,he seemed very 7and began hitting his steering wheel.I knew this wasn’t directed at me but at the disappointment that he had 8 a spot.I felt his 9.I too had been 10the place for ages.As the lady left I11something that surprised even me.I turned off my indicator and drove straight past.I let the man 12the spot.The man behind me was13,unsure what to do.14I lowered my window and gave him a(n) 15to take it,calling out at the same time “It’s yours.”I think the spot meant more to him than it did to me.1.A.experience B.dreamC.ideaD.chance2.A.people B.noiseC.pleasureD.peace3.A.calling for B.looking forC.asking forD.paying for4.A.borrowed B.foundC.boughtD.accepted5.A.followed B.helpedC.guidedD.met6.A.suggested B.noticedC.madeD.required7.A.serious B.interestedC.angryD.careful8.A.refused B.chosenC.reachedD.missed9.A.fear B.painC.courageD.wish10.A.circling B.protectingC.keepingD.changing11.A.saw B.heardC.didD.said12.A.search B.passC.leaveD.have13.A.worried B.surprisedC.tiredD.pleased14.A.But B.SoC.AgainD.Still15.A.sign B.orderC.reasonD.promise三、概要写作阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

According to one of the most famous legends, in ancient China there lived a demon named Nian which was extremely ferocious and devour people during special period of a year. But our wise ancestors made a good use of some special things like red paper to bard off the evil(辟邪).From that time on, on each New Year's Eve, each family sticks on their doors couplets written on red paper, blows up firecrackers, keeps their houses brilliantly illuminated and stays up late into the night. Early in the morning of the 1st of the first lunar month they go to their relatives and friends' homes to send their congratulations by saying“GongXi”.

It tells the story of a young girl named Alice, who follows a rabbit entering a magical world called Wonderland. She has many experiences which seem to change the rules of reasoning or common sense. The popularity of the book comes from its imagination, interesting story, and art work.The writer of the book is Lewis Carroll. In fact, Lewis Carroll was not the writer’s real name. His real name was Charles Dodgson. One day, he took a boat ride down the Thames River to have a picnic with three little girls who were friends of the family. To keep them entertained on the ride, he told them a story in which Alice, the middle child, was the main character. They enjoyed the story very much.Charles later wrote the story down under the name Alice’s Adventures Under Ground and gave it to Alice as a Christmas present. Later, he gave a copy to his friend George MacDonald. George read it to his children and they loved it. George suggested to Charles that he make a book from his story. Charles then wrote more parts to the story until it was around 35,000 words. It was first printed in 1866, with art work by John Tenniel, under the name Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The book was an immediate success.One of its first fans was Queen Victoria. She immediately requested a collection of all of Lewis Carroll’s works. She was surprised to find that they included many works on math. In fact, Charles Dodgson was a highly respected mathematician. This can be seen in many puzzles and plays on reasoning that appear in his books and poems.Since the story was first printed, it has kept selling up to the present day. It has been translated into over fifty languages and has had several movies based on it. The story is even mentioned in the popular 1999 film The Matrix by the character Morpheus.48.
