AThe easy way out isn‟t always the easiest. I learned that lesson whe n I decided to treat Doung, my husband of one month, to a special meal. I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade bread. Knowing the bread would take time, I started on it as soon as Doug left for work. As I was not experienced in cooking, I thought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better, so I doubled everything. As Dong loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl. Soon there was a sticky dough(面团)covered with ugly yellowish marks. Realizing I had been defeated, I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn't have to face Doug laughing at my work, I went on preparing the rest of the meal and, when Doug got home, we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice. He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise. The third time he left, I went to the windows to see what he was doing. Looking out, I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container. When I came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in out rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see. I felt cold. But I stepped closer and looked harder. Without doubt it was my work. The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast (酵母)made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing. I had to admit what the “living thing”was and why it was there. I don‟t know who was more embarrassed by the whole thing---Doug or me.21. The writer‟s purpose in writing this story is ___________A. to show the easiest way out of a difficultyB. to describe the trouble facing a newly married womanC. to tell an interesting experienceD. to explain the difficulty of learning to cook from books22. Why did the woman's attempt at making the bread turn out to be unsuccessful?A. The canned orange had gone bad.B. She did not follow the directions closely.C. The cookbook was hard to understand.D. She didn‟t use the right kind of flour.23. What made the dough in the bin look frightening?A. The rising and falling movement.B. The strange-looking marks.C. Its shape.D. Its size.24. When Doug went out the third time, the woman looked out of the window because she was ______________.A. surprised at his being interested in the binB. curious to know what disturbed himC. unhappy that he didn't enjoy the mealD. afraid that he would discover her secretBEverybody in this world is different from one another. But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money?As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it‟s not easy to change later in life.Financial experts say that everyone also has their own belief of how to manage their finances. This is part of our value system and it has a great impact on the way we look after our money.According to our different values, experts put us in three categories. They are: the ant, the cricket and the snail.The ant—works firstJust like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don‟t care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest(投资) in some funds and stocks with low risk.The cricket—fun firstThe cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn‟t think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance.The snail—lives under pressureThe snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans (贷款)from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury(奢华的) houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.25. .People with the character of the snail would like to _______.A. enjoy life at the moment without thinking much about the futureB. live a luxury life at all costsC. put work before everything else.D. take the risk of investing a large sum of money26. Our beliefs and values are affected by the following except ______.A. societyB.moneyC. educationD. our family27. This passage mainly talks about _______.A. the reaction between man and insectsB. the problems with dealing with moneyC. the insects in natureD. the spending nature of people28. Which of the following has the character that the author prefers?A. The antsB. The cricketC. The snailD. None of the aboveCThe Hearst CastleHearst Castle is a park on the central California coast and a National Historic Landmark. It was designed by Julia Morgan for William Randolph Hearst from 1919 until 1947. In 1957, the owner donated the fortune to the state of California.

I usually carry on a bit about there being 24 hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.Once in graduate school, I tried to excuse myself to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard. His answer to me was, “That‟s irrele vant. What‟s important is the quality of your work.” Since then I have had time to think about the “hard worker” dodge (伎俩), and I have come to some conclusions — all relevant to the issue of how much time we have.If you analyze the matter, you can identify two parts of the problem: There is, of course, the matter of “time”, which we can think of as fixed. Then there is th e problem of “work” during that time. But, as my professor suggested, it‟s not how hard one works but the quality of the product that is important.That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone‟s office---Don‟t work harder but w ork smarter. There‟s a lot of sense in that idea.If you can‟t get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of the work. That means thinking of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression “work habits” should be read as “study habits”.Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off in all your studies.32. From the passage, we know that the author is ______ .A. a poetB. a editorC. an educatorD. an director33. We can infer from the first two paragraph that we students _____ .A. have enough timeB. can meet the presidentC. get something done wellD. should accept the explanation34. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means_________.A. That is impossibleB. That is not acceptableC. That is unbearableD. That is not important35. The main purpose of writing the passage is to give_______.A. adviceB. encouragementC. criticismD. information第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
新野县第三高级中学2015届高三9月第二次阶段考英语试题命题时间:2014.09.27 第一部分:阅读理解(共两分,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,从每篇短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
ABefore I had my son, I spent two years working with children with disabilities. I learned that shouting and threats of punishment would result in a disaster. Coming up against their behaviour could only make the job harder and their behaviour more extreme. I found something that worked, though.There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him. One day the boy joined a session in the room next to mine. His appearance created an atmosphere of tension. He spent the entire session running around ,hitting and kicking, and destroying property.I was in the craft room working with some other children when my co-worker told me that this boy's teacher was in tears, and could not get control of the situation. As we were talking, the boy ran in. I told my co-worker that I would take care of him.I closed the door. He was full of energy, throwing things around and making a huge mess. But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed connection, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it. So I sat back down and kept quiet. Then he slowed down and began making a rocket. I talked to him about it. We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation:"So what happened today?"It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher didn't let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was stated simply as a fact. I suggested that next time he had a session, he talk about what he hoped to do at the start, which might be easier for everyone. He agreed and was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize.1. The boy made trouble for his teacher because he_______________A. was accused of destroying propertyB. was told not to yell at other childrenC. was made to do things against his willD. was blamed for creating an air of tension2. Why didn't the author do anything about the boy's bad behavior at first?A. She didn't want to make it worse.B. She didn't mind the huge mess at all.C. She was tired of shouting and threats.D. She hadn't thought of a coping strategy.3. The author managed to get the boy to talk to her by____________________A. playing games with himB. giving him a good suggestionC. describing his teacher's feelingsD. avoiding making critical remarks4. Why did the boy have tears in his eyes in the end?A. He was sorry about his reputation.B. He was regretful about his behavior.C. He was fearful of the author's warning.D. He was sad for the author's misunderstanding.BLondon's newest skyscraper (摩天大楼) is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build. At a height of almost 310 metres , it is the tallest building in Europe. The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London. However, not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano. When he began designing the Shard for London, Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like aspire(尖顶). He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city. The sides of the building aren't regular. So the building has an unusual shape. It looks like a very thin, sharp piece of broken glass. And that is how the building got the name: the Shard. Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition. The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts(桅杆)of the ships that were once on the river Thames.The Shard has 87 floors. At the top, there is an observatory. At the moment the building is empty, but eventually there will be a five-star hotel. There will also be top quality restaurants, apartments and offices.Before building work began, a lot of people didn't want the Shard though the plans were approved. Now they are still unhappy about the Shard. Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York, but not in London. They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape. But that is the only thing. There is no decoration, only flat surfaces. The Egyptians did that 4,500 years ago. They also think the Shard is too big for London. It destroys the beauty of the city.Other critics don't like what the Shard seems to represent. They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal. Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel.But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London. So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.The Shard now dominates the London skyline. It is not certain, however, that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city.5. London's newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of_______.A. its costB. its sizeC. its shapeD. its height6. When he designed the Shard, Piano wanted it to __________.A. change London's skylineB. inherit London's traditionC. imitate the Egyptian styleD. attract potential visitors7. The critics who refer to social division think Shard ________.A. is only preferred by the richB. is intended for wealthy peopleC. is far away from the poor areaD. is popular only with Londoners8. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. The Shard: Cheers and ClapsB. The Shard: Work of a Great ArchitectC. The Shard: New Symbol of London?D. The Shard.

The one who has patience to listen to others.D. The one who can use English to communicateDWorking with a group of baboons(狒狒) in the Namibian desert, Dr. Alecia Carter of the Department of Zoology, Cambridge University set baboons learning tasks involving a novel food and a familiar food ,hidden in a box. Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task, while others had to learn for themselves. To work out how brave or anxious the baboons were, Dr. Carter presented them either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake.She found that personality had a major impact on learning. The braver baboons learnt, but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did. In effect, despite being made aware of what to do, they were still too shy to do what the experienced baboon did.The same held true for anxious baboons compared with calm ones. The anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not, even though they spent more time watching.This mismatch between collecting social information and using it shows that personality plays a key role in social learning in animals, something that has previously been ignored in studies on how animals learn to do things. The findings are significant because they suggest that animals may perform poorly in cognitive (知的) tasks not because they aren't clever enough to solve them, but because they are too shy or nervous to use the social information.The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning. If some individuals are unable to get information from others because they don't associate with the knowledgeable individuals, or they are too shy to use the information once they have it, information may not travel between all group members, preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning.第二节:(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)There is an English saying:" 16 " Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. 17Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. 18 If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs .The group that tolerated(忍耐) the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. 1920 They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.A. Laughter can prolong one's life.B. As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics in which they help to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh.C. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.D. It increases blood pressure, the heart heating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach and even the feet.E. Although laughter" helps cure the disease, doctors still can not put this theory into clinic practice.F. Laughter is the best medicine.G. They have found that laughter really can improve people's health.第二部分:英语知识运用第一节完形填空(20小题;每小题 1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
2015—2016学年上学期高中一年级第二次阶段性考试英语试题第一部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分)AOur need to communicate with each other has been a driving force(力量)in the development of technology.In the 20th century we have seen the invention of the radio,television,telephone and fax,and today the Internet has opened up a whole new way of communicating.We now have instant (即刻的)messaging services such as ICQ or China's QQ and chat rooms where people can join group discussions.They mean increasing choices for when,where and how to communicate,and more importantly, with whom.While most people use the Internet to keep in touch with friends and family, a growing number of people use QQ and chat rooms to meet and chat with strangers.Because the Internet allows a certain amount of anonymity, users can be more open making it easier to make new friends.One user said that everyone is equal online,and age and appearance become unimportant.This makes it easier for peopleto communicate with each other.Finding new friends is not the only reason people use chat rooms.The Internet can bring together like-minded (志趣相投的)people who want to discuss their favourite topics.There are chat rooms for certain sports,types of music,styles of art,in fact,just about any interest you can imagine,and many that you can't! Whatever unusual interest you might have, if you search on the Internet,there is a good chance that you will find someone.somewhere in cyberspace,willing to talk to you about it-right now.However, there are problems with going online.It is possible for cyber-criminals to steal information such as credit card details while you are online,and there is always the chance that a new friend is not who he or she claims(声称)to be.One girl was really disappointed when she discovered that her new cyberfriend who wrote poems for her, was actually copying all the poems from magazines.But for all the problems that might come up,instant messaging services and chat rooms are here to stay, putting in touch with friends,family and strangers of similar interests1.People use the Internet to .A.chat to friends and meet family B.meet strangers and write poemsC.chat to friends,family and strangers2.What does anonymity (para.2)mean?A.The state of being unknown.B.The state of being friendly.C.The state of being on Line.3.What types of topics will people discuss on the Internet?A.Sports,types of music,styles of art.B.All kinds of topics.C.Only topics that the Internet allows.4.What is an example of problems with going online?A.Some people may send you poems copied from magazines.B.Your credit card details could be stolen.C.There might be no one to chat with.B“China now has 350 million smokers,accounting for (占)one-third of the world total.Chinese smokers now become addicted to nicotine at the age of 19,five years earlier than the average starting age of 24 in 1 997,”a report said a couple of years ago.Of the 1.1 billion smokers all over the world.more than 800 million are in developing countries.And as the world's largest developing country, China also has the largest number of smokers.Some frightening facts start to appear when we examine who China’s smokers are.Of the 350 million addicts(瘾君子),more than 100 million are under the age of 18,while more than 50 percent of male teachers and doctors are smokers.Such a high rate of addicts among male teachers and doctors will certainly have a bad impact (影响)on the young generation.Teachers are usually expected to be role models for students who tend to consider whatever they do is fight and follow their example.It is very likely that the number of teenage smokers will increase in the near future unless measures are taken to forbid teachers from smoking in front of their students or designate (指定)schools as no-smoking zones.What is truly puzzling is why so many doctors smoke.They are aware of(意识到)theresults of the habit,such as high blood pressure and lung cancer.Their example only helps justify (证明…合理)the addiction of so many others.If educated people set an example by stopping smoking at least in public places.it would be much easier to drive home the notion(观点)that it is uncivilized(不文明的)to smoke in public places.。

ARaised by a single mother in Hartford, Fred Wright struggled with behavioral problems and was forced to move from one school to another. He even reached a point where he felt like he had nothing to live for.“I was walking around with a lot on my shoulders,” he said. “I couldn’t handle it.I didn’t care about life anymore.” But all that started to change when Wright met Patricia Kelly.“I was seven when I met Mrs Kelly. I wasn’t used to strictness. I wasn’t used to hearing the word ‘no,’” said Wright, now 17.Kelly, a former soldier and an equestrian(骑手), took Wright under her wing and helped him find hope in an unlikely place—on a horse.“Wright was like a round peg that everybody kept trying to squeeze into a square hole,” Kelly said. “He was hurting. He needed a place where he could express himself. The riding field became that place for him.”For the last 30 years, Kelly has helped children stay on the right track through her nonprofit, Ebony Horsewomen. The program offers horseback riding lessons and teaches animal science to more than 300 young people a year. By exposing those children to horsemanship, Kelly aims to give them an alternative to the streets and an opportunity to turn their lives around.“We use horses as a tool to create pride, esteem and healing,” said Kelly, 66. “They learn that they have ability. They just have to unlock it.”“When you teach a child to ride a horse, they lea rn they are the center of theirenvironment,” said Kelly. “Once they make that connection, they can change what happens in school, at home and in the community.”1.

Since it started in a Paris suburb around 1995, free-running has attracted lots of fans in cities around the world. Instead of walking normally, free-runners jump over or around anything ― cars, buildings, trees, or streetlights ― in their way.One of the sport’s inventors told our reporter how free-running started.It was boring where we lived. There was nothing for us to do after school. We had done playground games like football and basketball when we were kids but we wanted something new and exciting. We started learning how to jump and run between buildings ― and we loved it. Walking is a waste of time. Free-runners have to use their imaginations. Everything ― a tree, a streetlight ―is part of our outdoor gym. We’re like children because we havenever stopped playing in the street.The sport’s website has lots of rules, for example, don’t break people’s windows, don’t jump on flowerbeds and don’t be rude to pe ople who want you to stop. Safety is also very important. You must st art with the easy moves ― you have to do thousands of small practice jumps before you try anything difficult. If you made only one mistake, you might hurt yourself badly.A local person said, “It’s good that young people have something to do. But when they jump off buildings like cats, they sometimes frighten other people.”Don’t try this at home: the basics of free-runningBlind Jump: a jump where you can’t see the landing spot.Tic-tac:run and put your foot on a small step, go forward and jump over the next thing.Basic Jump: run and jump, land on two feet while bending your knees. To finish roll into head-over-heels.Cat Jump: run towards a wall, put both hands on the top of the wall and jump through your arms.5. Free-running started __________.A. about twenty years agoB. with the help of schoolsC. in big cities of AmericaD. among famous sportsmen6. Free-runners shouldn’t ____________.A. use their imaginationsB. start with the easy movesC. jump on flowerbedsD. run between buildings7.

The purpose of this passage is to ___________.A. explain the importance of outdoor activitiesB. introduce some information about free-runningC. warn children not to join in dangerous sportsD. advise people to do more exercise at home firstC5 Holiday GiftsBy Liz Kennedy and Janice LiebermanYour family’s life story in print?

This text is probably a (n) ________.A. description of new goods on the InternetB. advertisement for certain goods on the InternetC. report about a new storeD. introduction to popular productsDEven the hardest days contain lessons that will help you be a better person. Feeling down? Consider these things to remember when you’re having a bad day.No one promised life would be perfect. If you look for perfection, you’ll never be content. Don’t condition your happiness on meeting every expectation you se t for yourself. It is good to be ambitious, but you’ll never be perfect. If you expect otherwise, your life will be filled with disappointments.Success doesn’t happen overnight. Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit. Don’t kid yourself into thinking success will come quickly. It isn’t easy to be patient, but anything worth doing requires time. If you ge t frustrated, remind yourself why your goal is important.There is a lesson in every struggle. And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through or how you managed to survive. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about. Don’t complain about how terrible your life is. If you search for the lesson in your present struggle, you’ll be able to make positive changes that would prevent similarsituations in the future.Without hard times, you wouldn’t appreciate the good ones. Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to give in, that is strength. It is hard to find much to smile about when you fail, but how else would you improve yourself? If you look at failure as a part of your evolutionary process, you’11 stay p ositive and pursue your goals for as long as it takes.12. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Success will come quickly.B. Hard work leads to success.C. Success calls for patience.D. Confidence is the first step to success.13. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that____________.A. lessons from struggles make us strongerB. all things are difficult before they are easyC. we should forget how we managed to surviveD. similar situations in the future will never appear14. What can we infer from Paragraph 5?A. Hard times make us lose heart and be short of courage.B. Perseverance in time of hardships develops our strengths.C. Smiles when you fail will not help to improve yourself.D. We should try to avoid failures in the evolutionary process.15. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?A. Every person has to go through hard timesB. We can learn a lot from our strugglesC. We should accept the fact that life is not perfectD.

AHomestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.What to ExpectThe host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.Accommodation ZonesHomestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2 } 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的).Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.Meal Plans Available◇Continental Breakfast◇Breakfast and Dinner◇Breakfast, Packed Lunch and DinnerIt's important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal, bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee.FriendsIf you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host's permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.Self-Catering Accommodation in Private HomesAccommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.21. The passage is probably written for_.A. hosts willing to receive foreign studentsB. foreigners hoping to build British cultureC. English learners applying to live in English homesD. travelers planning to visit families in London22. According to the passage, what does continental Breakfast include?A. Dessert and coffee.B. Bread and fruit juice.C. Fruit and vegetables.D. Cereal and cold meat.23. Why do some people choose self-catering accommodation?A. To experience a warmer family atmosphere.B. To enrich their knowledge of English.C. To entertain friends as they like.D. To enjoy much more freedom.BMillions of people pass through the gates of Disney's entertainment parks in California, Florida and Japan each year. What makes these places an almost universal attraction? What makes foreign kings and queens and other important people want to visit these Disney parks? Well, one reason is the way they're treated once they get there. The people at Disney go out of their way to serve their "guests",as they prefer to call them, and to see that they enjoy themselves.All new employees, from vice presidents to part-time workers, begin their employment by attending Disney University and taking "Traditions P'. Here, they learn about the company's history,how it is managed, and why it is successful. They are shown how each department relates to the whole. All employees are shown how their part is important in making the park a success.After passing "Traditions I",the employees go on to do more specialized training for their specific jobs. No detail is missed. A simple job like taking tickets requires four eight-hour days of training. When one ticket taker was asked why it took so much training for such a simple, ordinary job, he replied, "What happens if someone wants to know where the restrooms are, when the parade starts or what bus to take back to the campgrounds? We need to know the answers or where to get them quickly. Our constant aim is to help our guests enjoy the party."Even Disney's managers get involved in the daily management of the park. Every year, the managers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes. For a full week, the bosses sell hot dogs or ice cream, take tickets or drive the monorail(单轨车),and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the entertainment park come alive. The managers agree that this week helps them to see the company's goals more clearly.All these efforts to serve the public well have made Walt Disney Productions famous. Disney is considered by many as the best mass service provider in America or the world. As one long-time business observer once said, "How Disney treats people, communicates with them, rewards them, is in my view the very reason for his great success. I have watched, very carefully and with great respect and admiration, the theory and practice of selling satisfaction and serving millions of people on a daily basis successfully. It is what Disney does best."24. The first day they come to Disney parks, all new employees_______.A. begin by receiving on-the-job training B .must learn several jobsC .begin as ticket takers D. have already attended Disney University25.Each year, managers wear special service clothes and work in the park to______.A. set a good example for employeesB .remind themselves of their beginnings at DisneyC .gain a better view of the company's objectivesD .replace employees on holiday26. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Tourists learn the history of Disney in its entertainment parks.B .Disney attracts people almost from all over the world.C .Parades are regularly held in Disney's entertainment parks.D·Disney's managers are able to do almost all kinds of work in the Disney parks.27 .This passage is mainly about_______.A. how Disney employees are trainedB .the history and traditions of the Disney enterprisesC .why Disney enterprises make a lot of moneyD .the importance Disney places on serving people wellCFred Michel is one of 7.2 million Americans who moonlight. Once a week, after his day job as medical director of a mental health center, the 40-year-old psychiatrist heads to a part-time job at a treatment center for young people. Twice a month, he travels three hours to another teenage treatment center.Last year, 5.4 percent of the American workforce held second jobs, according to the US Labor Department, and that looks set to increase this year.Many workers like the safety that moonlighting provides, says Carl Hausman, the writer of "Moonlighting: 148 Great Ways to Make Money on the Side."The information from the US Labor Department shows that 40 percent of US moonlighters take a second job to meet household expenses or pay off debts. Others save money or buy some special things.People also take second jobs with an eye to the future一wanting to try out a new field or gain expemence.Michel started moonlighting when medical systems were unstable. He wanted to make sure he wasn't tied to one system that ended up failing.Just as the purposes for moonlighting vary, the moonlighters cross all ages and racial groups. And they work in a variety of industries--- no longer just service, office and sale jobs."Technology just affects your ability to make money," Hausman says, "that makes a frequent change in moonlighting."As its name means, moonlighting still occurs mostly at night. And that results in some pressures.Chief among them is time.Full-time employers could misunderstand, too. Some companies do not allow after-hour work because they fear it will affect their employees' 9-to-5 performance."The primary employer is saying, `Wait, I'm paying you for the sharp, fresh, energetic you,"' says Tom Gimbel, president and founder of LaSalle Staffing in Chicago. "If you're burning yourself at both ends, it's going to show."Still, the good done to the moonlighters can be great. Besides extra income, moonlighters enjoy variety, freedom and chance to do something new. They may also find their part-time jobs strengthen what they do full time.Besides, "it's fun," Michel says. Not only do his part-time jobs offer a chance to network, stretch his professional skills and make more money, but they also give him the variety he wouldn't find just in a full-time job."It's a way of pulling from the spice cabinet" he says, "and offering a little variety throughout the day."28. The reason why Fred Michel began to moonlight is that_______.A. he found it exciting to do a part-time jobB .he needed to make ends meet with more moneyC .he feared he would lose his present job one dayD. he felt more and more pressure from his employer29 .Some companies don't allow their workers to moonlight because they are afraidA. their workers can not do extra-hour work for themB .their workers will be too tired to try their best at workC .their workers will one day turn to some other different jobsD. their workers will not get to work and be off work on time30. The underlined sentence "It's a way of pulling from the spice cabinet." in the last paragraphmeansA. moonlighting gets you away from the job you don't enjoyB .moonlighting offers you freedom to make extra moneyC .moonlighting strengthens your professional skillsD. moonlighting brings you chances to do something different31 .What is the article mainly about?A. The ways of moonlighting. B .The reasons for moonlighting.C .The problems with moonlighting. D. The kinds of people who moonlight.DOceanography has been defined as "The application of all sciences to the study of the sea". Before the nineteenth century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was unwilling to go to sea to further his work.For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question "What is at the bottom of the oceans?" had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable(电缆)from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth profile(起伏形状)of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be made.It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings(测深)were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book ---The Physical Geography of the Sea.The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At theearly attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea.Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition,which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.32. The passage implies that the telegraph cable was built mainly________.A. for oceanographic studies B .for military purposesC .for business considerations D. for investigating the depths of the oceans33.The aim of voyages Maury encouraged in the 1840s was_________.A. to make some sound experiments in the oceansB .to collect samples of sea plants and animalsC .to estimate the length of cable that was to be madeD .to measure the depths of the two oceans34. The underlined word "defied" in the 4Th paragraph probably means_A. doubted B .challenged C .gave proof to D .agreed to35 .The theme of this passage is about__A .the beginnings of oceanography B.the laying of the first undersea cableC .the investigation of ocean depthsD .the early intercontinental communications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。

The whip gets all of the attention, but it’s mostly for show. In reality, it’ the chair that does the important work. When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion’s face, the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided, the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion? How often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g. lose weight., start a business, travel more)—only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best, the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. The end result is that we feel like we can’t focus or that we’re focused on the wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving.It doesn’t have to be that way. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: All you need to do is focus on one thing,. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people. If you have somewhere you want to go, something you want to accomplish, someone you want to become…take immediate action. If you’re clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.4. Why does the lion tamer use a chair?A. To get ready for a fight.B. To entertain the audience.C. To trick the lionD. To show off his skills..5. In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?A. They have to do something for showB. They find it hard to make changes.C. They hold on to the wrong things.D. They feel puzzled over choices.6. When the world is “ waving a chair in your face”, you’re advised to _____A. make a quick decisionB. wait for a better chanceC. break your old habitsD. ask for clear guidance7. What is the author’s attitude towards the expert mentioned in Paragraph3?A. Respectful.B. Supportive.C. Tolerant.D. Doubtful.CAs more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational , Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations —UNESCO and National Geographic among them—have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Centre Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethno linguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India , Nepal, Bhutan, and China . But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of importantmaterials-including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes—which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.Now, through the two organizations that he has founded –the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project —Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stories around the world, available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected.Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.8. What is Turin’s book based on?A. His personal experience in Nepal.B. The cultural studiesC. The documents available at Yale.D. His language research in Bhutan.9. What does “that tradition’ in Paragraph 3 refer to ?A. Telling stories about language usersB. Having full records of the languagesC. Living with the native speaker.D. Writing books on language teaching.10. Which of the following best describe Turin’s work?A. Design, experiment and report.B. Collect, protect and reconnectC. Record, repair and reward..D.

2015—2016学年上学期高中一年级第二次阶段性考试英语试题第一部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分)AOur need to communicate with each other has been a driving force(力量)in the development of technology.In the 20th century we have seen the invention of the radio,television,telephone and fax,and today the Internet has opened up a whole new way of communicating.We now have instant (即刻的)messaging services such as ICQ or China's QQ and chat rooms where people can join group discussions.They mean increasing choices for when,where and how to communicate,and more importantly, with whom.While most people use the Internet to keep in touch with friends and family, a growing number of people use QQ and chat rooms to meet and chat with strangers.Because the Internet allows a certain amount of anonymity, users can be more open making it easier to make new friends.One user said that everyone is equal online,and age and appearance become unimportant.This makes it easier for peopleto communicate with each other.Finding new friends is not the only reason people use chat rooms.The Internet can bring together like-minded (志趣相投的)people who want to discuss their favourite topics.There are chat rooms for certain sports,types of music,styles of art,in fact,just about any interest you can imagine,and many that you can't! Whatever unusual interest you might have, if you search on the Internet,there is a good chance that you will find someone.somewhere in cyberspace,willing to talk to you about it-right now.However, there are problems with going online.It is possible for cyber-criminals to steal information such as credit card details while you are online,and there is always the chance that a new friend is not who he or she claims(声称)to be.One girl was really disappointed when she discovered that her new cyberfriend who wrote poems for her, was actually copying all the poems from magazines.But for all the problems that might come up,instant messaging services and chat rooms are here to stay, putting in touch with friends,family and strangers of similar interests1.People use the Internet to .A.chat to friends and meet family B.meet strangers and write poemsC.chat to friends,family and strangers2.What does anonymity (para.2)mean?A.The state of being unknown.B.The state of being friendly.C.The state of being on Line.3.What types of topics will people discuss on the Internet?A.Sports,types of music,styles of art.B.All kinds of topics.C.Only topics that the Internet allows.4.What is an example of problems with going online?A.Some people may send you poems copied from magazines.B.Your credit card details could be stolen.C.There might be no one to chat with.B“China now has 350 million smokers,accounting for (占)one-third of the world total.Chinese smokers now become addicted to nicotine at the age of 19,five years earlier than the average starting age of 24 in 1 997,”a report said a couple of years ago.Of the 1.1 billion smokers all over the world.more than 800 million are in developing countries.And as the world's largest developing country, China also has the largest number of smokers.Some frightening facts start to appear when we examine who China’s smokers are.Of the 350 million addicts(瘾君子),more than 100 million are under the age of 18,while more than 50 percent of male teachers and doctors are smokers.Such a high rate of addicts among male teachers and doctors will certainly have a bad impact (影响)on the young generation.Teachers are usually expected to be role models for students who tend to consider whatever they do is fight and follow their example.It is very likely that the number of teenage smokers will increase in the near future unless measures are taken to forbid teachers from smoking in front of their students or designate (指定)schools as no-smoking zones.What is truly puzzling is why so many doctors smoke.They are aware of(意识到)theresults of the habit,such as high blood pressure and lung cancer.Their example only helps justify (证明…合理)the addiction of so many others.If educated people set an example by stopping smoking at least in public places.it would be much easier to drive home the notion(观点)that it is uncivilized(不文明的)to smoke in public places.。
In China,there should also be a national law to ban smoking in public places.These would make a massive (大量的)contribution to cutting the number of people in China who are smoking themselves into early grave(墓).5.Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?A.Time to Kick(去除)the Habit B.China Bans Smoking in Public PlacesC.Smokers in China D.Make People Aware of Smoking 6.In developing countries,China has the largest number of smokers,which covers .A.one-third of its total B.one-eighth of its totalC.1ess than half its total D.more than half its total7.In the writer's opinion,who have influenced young smokers,especially those under l8?A.Parents。
